1: Closing Time

Ashton 'Pizzapants' Tolliver is a ninteen-year-old cat monster, a resident of a tiny town known simply as Hometown, and an employee at a local gimmicky pizza place "for now," as he puts it. With his two best friends off at college and missing for over a year now, respectivley, Ashton ends up finding a confidant in someone else he met in high school: his coworker, Carroll (or Blue Ears, as Ashton's nicknamed the cheerful rabbit).

But as Ashton starts to realize that Carroll's nervous, clumsy demeanor might be a sign of something more than a scatterbrained bunny, it becomes clear that following your heart can mean being a little stupid, and that sometimes the things you're keeping secret are exactly what you should be saying.
