Night Terrors "A sleep disorder characterized by high arousal and an appearance of being terrified, unlike nightmares, night terrors ...are seldom remembered."

Our heroine is staying in some summer house which appears to be Martha's Vineyard. She is in the courtyard when someone opens the back door and a big black dog walks in. Instead of attacking, this gentle giant jumps up on Lioness and licks and sniffs her ear. She feels his weight on her but isn't too sure what to do. She manages to get outside of the courtyard when his owner, a small, brunette, chunky, short, chipper, young woman smiles and gets him off. The two exchange a few words before Lioness decides the woman is annoying and won't talk anymore. The woman still has a smile on her face and the atmosphere is not bad. So Lioness and a few family members sit on a bench. Her teeny pet  mouse Nyla sits on her lap. Someone says something to Lioness which makes her jump up and Nyla takes off. Lioness immediately jumps up in order to look for her beloved angel. She walks to the front of the park, but to no avail. "She can't be far" Lioness thinks. She continues looking for her under benches but she sees other pets who look like her but clearly aren't her Nyla. So she walks out of the park and into a ship hoping maybe Nyla is hiding somewhere. She looks in a pile of clothes on the floor but she's not there either. Lioness suddenly notices Gertrude, her Giraffe elderly grandmother. Gertrude is cooking something in her kitchen and Lioness tells her that she's missing Nyla and if she sees her please let her know. But unfortuneltely Gertrude had not see Nyla so instead Lioness says she'll inform Gertrude once she finds her (if she finds her). But Nyla can't be far away can she? She just left?

Lioness heads back to the park where she gets on a carousel hoping to get a better 360* veiw of the park. She begins to cry. 'Where could she be'? She gets off the spinning carousel and looks under a bench near the entrance of the park where the similar pets were. There under the bench, lying in a ball position, among a few bigger pets is Nyla, maybe a bit shaken but in one piece and fine. Lioness picks her up and heads back to  Gertrude, informing her that she found Nyla.
