Normal POV Fifi la fume's apartment, ACME acres city

Fifi was sitting in her new apartment, reading a book while reflecting on what had happened earlier in the day. During lunch time at her college she had a run in with an old classmate from ACME loo, Furrball James Pussycat. They had a fight a long time ago and from what happened at lunch it looked like neither of them were willing to let it go. Still Fifi couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Since their time at ACME loo ended things had only gotten better for her, but nothing was going right for Furrball. He was still an alley cat, he was still living on the streets, no one was taking care of him, no one was trying to help him, all he had was himself.

Fifi: "why do I feel so sorry for him? After that fight I should just hate him!"

She went back to reading her book. But while she did so she heard a familiar but painful sounding meow coming from outside. She rushed to the window to investigate and what she saw nearly broke her heart. Furrball was on the sidewalk of the street below, he was on his hands and knees, in the rain, holding his arm in pain, with tears pouring out of his eyes, and 2 bigger ally cats scurrying away from him. Fifi quickly got up, got her jacket on, got an umbrella, and rushed outside to go get him.

Furrball was outside in the rain, holding his arm in pain. He had gotten in a fight with a couple of ally cats and one of them gave him a rather deep cut to the arm. He was in so much pain that the rain falling on his arm felt like burning hot lava was getting in his wound...that is until it stopped falling on him. Furrball looked up and saw his old classmate Fifi la Fume kneeling next to him holding an umbrella over the 2 of the with one hand, her other hand hovering just above the shoulder of his uninjured arm. She had a worried look on her face.

Fifi: "a-are vous ok?"

Furrball almost didn't want to answer. He didn't want to talk to her. But he didn't want to be rude to someone who was clearly trying to be nice to him.

Furrball: "not really, my arms scratched up pretty bad..."

Fifi: "vous poor zing, do vous want to come inside? I don't know much about first aid but I zink I can help"

Furrball was surprised, Fifi la fume had just offered to take him inside and help him out. He thought she hated him. But here she was trying to help him. Before he answered he got up and hugged her, surprising her and causing her to drop the umbrella. Once she realized what was going on she gladly returned the hug.

Furrball: "y-yes please, and t-thank you Fifi"

Fifi: "not a problem Furrball"

After she said that Furrball, obviously exhausted, collapsed in her arms. She carried him back to her apartment, careful not to touch his wound. When she got inside she sat him down on her bed and went to the bathroom to get the first aid kit. She quickly got to work on the scratch and in no time she had it covered up in some bandages and disinfected so it wouldn't get infected. When Furrball woke up, still a little exhausted, the first thing he did was thank Fifi.

Fifi: "not a problem my friend. Besides I wasn't just gonna leave vous out zere"

Furrball: "yeah I guess, but...I thought you...hated me"

Fifi: "don't be silly. I know I should after zat fight but I just can't bring myself to hate someone like vous"

Furrball: "someone like me?"

Fifi: "an ally cat, someone who's always in trouble. I can't hate someone like zat"

Furrball: "I'm not always in trouble"

Fifi: "back at ACME loo vous use to show up with a new cut or bruise 2 times a week"

Furrball: "point taken. Anyway thanks for helping me out Feef"

Fifi: "no problem"

Furrball: "well since I'm all patched up I guess I'll get out of your hair"

Furrball started to get up but Fifi stopped him.

Fifi: "NO! I-I'm sorry but I can't let vous go back to ze streets. I know vour an ally cat but I don't want vous getting hurt! Vou're staying here!"

Furrball: "no no that's OK I'm fine I can..."

Fifi: "NO! Please just stay here. If vous go back to ze streets vous could get hurt again, or worse! Please just stay!"

Furrball was going to say no again but then he saw her face. She had a sad look in her big sapphire eyes. She was actually worried about him. He couldn't say no. He just couldn't.

Furrball: "*sigh* I guess you're right. Sure, I'll stay"

Fifi: "good. Now why don't vous get some rest, vous can take ze bed for tonight, I'm fine on ze couch"

Furrball: "ok then. And thanks again Fifi."

Fifi: "no problem. Good night"

Fifi got up and left the room. As soon as she did Furrball fell asleep. However every so often a little bit of pain in his arm would wake him up.
