Gigo (the chocolate colored mink) and Ted (the red haired white mink) find Nikita on the beach. They had heard about there being a were-mink attending Eastlake High School, and wanted to meet him. As minks are rare, they offer each other support. He also finds out that he's nowhere close to finished growing
