One day Raven, the black ixi, was walking down a lane. He walked

into a restraunt where he sat down. The waiter came over and asked if he

would like something to eat. "Uhhh... yea I'll take a cheeseburger," he said.

Once the waiter left, Raven looked around at the restraunt that lay

before him. A couple of people were there. A nimmo, kacheek, shoyru.

But they were all in pairs. Odd. Except one. An ixi. Wow thought Raven.

She was beautiful. With lovely hooves and darling eyes that when you

stared into them, they seemed like a great black void that went on and

on forever. The beauty of it all. She was pink. Hmm... pink and black.

Not bad if I do say so myself! But for some reason, Raven could not

take his eyes off her. There was something about her lovely figure that

was irresistable.Raven stepped up to her and got very nervous. What

should he say? Should he leave? Raven blushed. Which was very odd to

see in a black ixi. He decided to try to impress her. He ran around

the room quickly, then tackled the wall. The pink ixi looked at him

like he was crazy. Maybe he should have introduced himself first. He

blushed. "Hello, my name is uhh..." The pink ixi started to listen.

"It's uhh... Orange..." Oh no! Thought Raven's mind. Orange? What was

he thinking? It's Raven!! The pink ixi giggled. So Orange... how are

you today? "Uhh... about that Orange thing-" "No. It's perfectly

adorable. My name is Lily. What's your real name?" "Raven," Raven said.

Lily stomped her hooves in pleasure. "I simply adore that name! How

marvelous! Well Raven, how about you meet me by the park tomorrow at 3?

I'll see you there!" Raven stood still frozen. He could not believe his

ears. As Lily walked outside, Raven collapsed on the ground.

All to slowly, it was tomorrow. The day felt like an eternity to

Raven. Then finally, the sun rose. He quickly hopped out of bed and prepared

a speech. Hello Lily, fine day isn't it? He quickly stopped reading and

threw it away. He was on his own this time. Then, it was 3 o'clock. Down

to the park Raven strolled. It was Pine Park actually, named after the lovely

pined that grew there. They reminded Raven of Lily. Her beautiful slender

body and lovely fur. He got so involved about thinking about her, that he

ran into a tree. Ow. He was rubbing his nose when Lily appeared. "Well," Lily

said. "Ready to go?" They first went back to the cafe and had a light salad.

Raven found out that Lily loved roses when they headed toward the flower

shop. "I've always wanted a rose flower garden laced with roses," Lily said.

"And I've always wanted someone to love." Raven was taken aback. Was she

saying that to him? Lily quickly changed the subject. "It's time to go

home," she said. Raven walked her home. Before she walked inside, Lily gave

Raven a kiss on the cheek. He smiled. This seemed like the starting of a

great friendship, or maybe more...
