Tina was just walking through the front room, heading toward the steps with one of her tree's fruits, and the very spore she's been taking care of hanging from her neck once more. Wolven was sitting in the window, giggling to himself, which caused Tina to stop and walk toward him curiously.

"Hun...Are you trying to go outside again? If so, I'll gladly let you out."

Wolven shakes his head, still giggling to himself.

Tina sighs, "So what are you doing sitting in the window?"

Wolven continues to giggle, pointing out of the window.

"What in heaven's name could be so interesting out there?"

Wolven smiles back, "Pony!"

"...A stallion? Out here?" Tina questions as she looks out the window with Wolven. A centaur stood in front of the house, looking directly at Wolven and Tina, curiously tilting her head as Wolven and Tina watched her through the window. Tina shook her head, "That is not a pony... Zee....Sister...? Can you come to the front room..? Please?"

Not too long after, Symphonia and the 'pony' were hugging each other in the front room.

Zee sighed, smiling and shaking her head, "That would be Ella. One of Chazu's girls. Cute ain't she?"

Tina grinned, nodding, "Want me to see them off?"

"No I got it..."

Symphonia rushed over and hugged Zee, then ran and hugged Tina as well, before looking around. Zee and Tina both pointed down the hall....

Yinxao and Zapook were in the living room, doing Tina the small favor of hooking up a brand new flat screen to replace the old broken television. They casually chatted away before becoming eerily silent.

"So..." Zapook said, "That other night...you never told me what you were trying to say..."

Yinxao looked down at the ground, "Ok...well..."

Zapook stared long and hard at her, and just as Yinxao started to speak, Symphonia made her entrance with a loud squeal and hugged Zapook from behind. This made Zapook scream at the top of her lungs and shoot out of Symphonia's grip, clinging to the ceiling with her long claw like nails. Yinxao stared up with a blank expression, and Symphonia started to tear up as she watched Zapook hang from the ceiling. And even at that distance, Zee's laughter was heard clearly, having guessed what happened by the sound of Zapook's scream.

Zee had Wolven and Fluffles following her as she saw Ella and Symphonia off, walking with them for a certain distance before turning and humming as she made her way back to the house. Tina was sitting at the front step, with Pepper sitting in front of her. Pepper seemed quiet as usual, yet more cheerful, as she sat there, letting Tina brush her hair. Wolven and Fluffles scurried past them and into the house.

Zee smiled down at Tina and Pepper, "Tame today?"

Pepper looked up at Zee, then stared at Zee's stomach and shuddered. Tina smiled and nodded. "Oh my, yes. Though I wish she weren't so quiet. I do believe she is opening up more though. However, can you refrain from eating her...?"

Zee sighs, "As long as she don't slip up, I won't. Besides, there's another human I can harass right now."



At this point, Zapook and Yinxao were sitting in the kitchen. As it has twice before, their conversation trailed to what Yinxao's been trying to say. Before they could get anything out, however, Mikey ran in with Zee hot on his trail, knocking the table into the air and across the room. Yinxao and Zapook sat there quietly for a few minutes, before Zapook finally stood up and stomped out of the room.

A short time later, Mikey was being chased down the hall with Zee inches away from him. As they ran past Tina's room, Zapook grabbed Zee's tail and pulled her in. Zee growled back at her, "You know I hate it when people pull my tail....What's your problem?"

Zapook crossed her arms, "I've been havin' to put up with your havoc for days now! I can't even have a simple discussion with my best friend because you keep causing trouble!!"

"Well excuse me for bein' bored in this insane asylum!"

"If you hate it so much, why don't you go back to your own damn house and leave us in peace!?"

"Excuse me!?" Zee stood, grabbing Zapook by the collar, boiling up her other free fist, "Did you forget who took you in!? Who made you feel like family!?"

Tina ran into the room, snatching Zapook from Zee's grip. "Sister! You stop this nonsense. We both took her in. Now can we stop this unnecessary violence?!"

"She came to me, spewin' some nonsense about causing her grief and you're yelling at me!?" Zee growled.

Tina shook her head, "You were the one about to strike, sister. I suggest you control that violent temper of yours. As Zapook said, you are under my roof. Now behave."

Zee's eyes flashed red, her hair flaring out and her paws bursting into flames. In an instant, she calmed down, straightening her self up. "You want me to 'behave', huh? Well this is one cat that knows how to let herself out." She turned and walked out of Tina's room, mildly yelling back at the two of them, "By the way? ******** you both."
The only other sound to follow was the sound of the front door slamming shut.


Days later, Zee was seen only in her own home, Mikey was enjoying his stay at Tina's place, along with Yinxao, and Zapook was unusually quiet, keeping to herself in her own lab. Wolven left Tina's house on his own accord, finding his way back to Zee's place with Koopling's help, crying "mama" the entire way there. Tina sat in her balcony, watching Zee's house from the distance.

Yinxao was found whimpering as she wandered up to where Tina sat. "Excuse me...I don't mean to disturb you, but when is your sister coming back?"

Tina sighed, "It'll be awhile...Here..." She pat the spot next to her.

Yinxao quickly made her way to that spot, sitting with her legs crossed.

Tina pointed out in the distance to a tiny house sitting on a small hill. "See there? That is where my dear sister resides. I do hope she is alright..."

Yinxao nodded, leaning against Tina, purring loudly. Tina smiled at her, then sighed sadly as she looked out toward the lonely house on the hill.
