  • ~Sheila~
    Sheila looked up from her work, glancing out the office window. Commotion in the street caught her eye.
    Cougars and other animals faced each other angrily.
    Sensing that there was a problem, the young lawyer picked up her notebook and pen, holding them tightly in her wing, then headed for the elevator.
    Once out of the building, she walked up to the animals, ready to resolve any conflict. “What’s going on here?” she asked briskly.

  • ~Athena~
    Athena rolled her eyes. “For Fang’s sake, we’re STARVING here.”
    She looked at her paws, and Hurricane winced slightly. “It killed Wood,” she murmured. Hurricane gently touched her tail with his tail.
    Athena suddenly looked up, fury and grief blazing in her eyes. “My brother is dead because everyone refuses to let us eat!”
    Raven glances at Cody, who exchanged a puzzled look. “What?”
    Athena hissed. “Fine. You’re like all the others.” She choked on the words. “You’ll let my other brother and my cubs DIE!” She turned around. “We’re leaving. Come on, Hurricane. These are nothing but selfish creatures, like all the rest.”

    Molly- (to Sandy)
    “We have straws here, right? I can’t pick up water glasses to drink with my hooves.” said Molly.
    She has those eyes, that smile. I’m starting to feel dizzy.

    • ~Sandy~
      “I think we should…” Sandy said, looking around the table. “Ah, here they are!” she spotted a box of straws and gave one to Molly.

        Molly-
        “Thanks,” said Molly, selecting a blue one and putting it in her glass.
        She has those eyes, that smile. I’m starting to feel dizzy.

      Molly-
      “Do you think Dusty’ll want a straw too?” asked Molly, looking at the straw box.
      She has those eyes, that smile. I’m starting to feel dizzy.

      • ~Sandy~
        “Yes, I think she would,” Sandy answered quickly, instinctively knowing what her sister would want, “A green one. That’s what she usually picks.” I never really payed attention to her straw preferences, Sandy thought, half surprised, half amused, and yet I know her so well. Well, that’s what sisters are for!

        She poured a glass for herself, picking a yellow straw, then stood near the doorway, ready to head back once Molly finished preparing Dusty’s glass.

          Molly-
          After filling Dusty’s glass, Molly stuck a green straw in it.
          She has those eyes, that smile. I’m starting to feel dizzy.

    • ~Sandy~
      Quickly filling an extra glass in case Isamu or Elderberry wanted one, Sandy held the door for Molly, then went into Dusty’s room.

          Molly-
          “She does,” noted Molly. Walking to Elderberry, Molly asked, “Elderberry, would you like some water?”
          Rewrite the Stars.

          • ~Elderberry~
            Elderberry looked up from where she was busily sorting pills, about to refuse since she was so busy treating Dusty. But water is essential to health, she remembered. “Yes, please,” she answered finally, “Thank you for offering.”

              Molly-
              Molly gave Elderberry a nod, and said, “You’re welcome.”

  • Moonstream-
    Moonstream wished she could do something for the cougars. But no. Nothing she could do. She could only watch. She hated every moment of it. Watching yet not being able to do anything. It was the worst, being able to hear everything around her.

  • ~Fireblaze~
    “You have… cubs?” Fireblaze breathed. That explains why they were so desperate for food. Fighting is still unnecessary but… at least it explains their behaviour better.
    “Listen, Athena,” she began, “You and your cubs will be allowed to get all the food you need. I will make sure of that.” She glanced at her companions, “We will make sure of that. But there is really no need to fight. You can ask for food without fighting. We will give it to you. You have the right for food and shelter, just not to hurt others. The same goes for us. I’m sorry you weren’t allowed to eat, but I promise I would never support such an idea, and neither would my friends.”

  • ~Cougars (😛)~
    Athena blinked. “Thank you.” She snuffed the air, and stalked near the a different alley. She disappeared inside for a moment, then reappeared with a limp fox in her mouth. She ignored the strange looks.
    “We like them,” Hurricane mewed defensively.
    The two cougars nodded to the other animals to follow them, and padded away onto a small ledge. They leapt onto the ledge, then onto the rooftop. Hurricane cane back with a cub in his mouth, and Athena came back with two.
    “Everyone, meet Tuft, Feather and Fur.”

    • ~Fireblaze~
      Fireblaze looked down at the cubs. A mild feeling of warmth spread through her, but she squared her shoulders and kept a serious expression. “They’re beautiful cubs,” she told Athena and Hurricane with a nod.

  • ~Sheila~
    The issue appeared to be getting resolved. Neither the cougars nor the other animals seemed hostile now.
    “Looks like I can get back to my work now,” she turned to the cougars, “Or do you need any help regarding the cubs?”

  • ~Athena~
    Athena winced slightly. “I think I can take care of MY cubs.”
    She turned to the others. “Thank you.”
    “Ooooooooh!” Tuft jumped up to Yuri. “Are you a dog? Or, or are you a fox? Or a cat? Or-”
    “Shhh, Tuft.” Athena pulled him back. “Calm down.”
    “So, we’re just all generally starving?” Everyone had forgotten Cody and Raven were there.

    (I actually forgot about Cody and Raven 😛 )

    • ~Sheila~
      Sheila gave Athena a quick nod. “Of course,” she said.
      She straightened the notebook in her wing and headed back to her office.

    • ~Victoria~
      “Hi!” Victoria ran up to the cubs, “I’m Vicky! What are your names? Let’s be friends! Want to do something?” She turned to Athena. “Can I help care for them?” she hopped up and down as she begged, “Can I? Can I? Please?? I’m a good babysitter!”

  • ~Sheila~
    Sheila was about to go into her office, when a black rooster stopped her. There was a folding chair clamped onto his tail and he did not look pleased. Stepping in front of Sheila, he glared angrily. “Is there a problem?” Sheila asked.

    • ~Rain~
      Stepping out of her house, Rain looked around. Faint voices drifted from the distance. Quietly, the young hen followed the sound. Her blue eyes widened in surprise when she saw a crow and a kit. I don’t remember meeting them before.
      “Hello,” she clucked softly, “Are you new here? I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Rain.”

  • ~Shadow~
    Shadow picked up Ivy wile Feather gathered Frost and Ice got Grass, “Are we ready?” Shadow asked, Ice and Feather nodded.
    *Ice*
    “We’re ready,” he nodded to the other animals, “We’ll see you around, I guess.”
    \|/Grass\|/
    “Shadow where are we going?” Grass squeaked, her eyes weren’t open and wouldn’t open for a while but she sensed that they were moving.
    ~Shadow~
    “We’re going home. Come on, the clan will be worried.” Shadow nodded once more and they all took off through the alleys.
    Unknown kit (Soon to be Bramble)-
    “Hello? Who is that?” the kit shivered, “Midnight? You’re still here, right?”
    ~*Midnight*~
    “Yes, I’m here, don’t worry I won’t let anything hurt you, kit.” Midnight crowed, “Come out and show yourselves!”
    ~Shadow~
    A crow? Shadow thought, “Ok, ok. But don’t even think about attacking, we will fight.” She padded into the open to see a crow standing over a tiny kit, Oh the poor thing! It must have only just opened its eyes!
    ~*Midnight*~
    Midnight whispered, “Stay back,” just in time to see three full grown cats all holding kit. The leading cat halted her eyes widening as she looked at Midnight and the kit, “Hello.” Midnight said, “What are your names?”
    ~Shadow~
    “I’m Shadow, this is my mate, Ice, our kits, Grass, Frost, and Ivy.” Shadow pointed to the cats, “And this is Feather, our clan Medicine Cat.” She gestured to Feather, “What are your names?”
    (I would do more but I have to sign off! :P)

    • ~Victoria~
      “Yay!” Victoria leaped in the air, delighted. She had gotten the job! “I’ll do my very, very, very best!” she promised, skipping in circles. “Maybe someday I’ll be a famous babysitter!”

    • ~Fireblaze~
      Fireblaze smiled at Athena’s clever idea. “Thanks,” she chuckled quietly, not loud enough for Victoria to hear, “I’d have had to listen to her complaining if you hadn’t come up with that.”
