Normal POV

Fifi was having trouble sleeping. Not because she was on the couch instead of the bed, because she was worried about Furrball. He had tried to assure her that he would be OK, but for some reason she just couldn't believe him. That ally cat had cut pretty deep. He lost a lot of blood. She couldn't stop worrying about him. She decided to get up and check on him. She opened the door to her bedroom carefully, making sure it didn't creak. She saw Furrball lying there asleep. For some reason there was something so peaceful about him sleeping. He looked so happy and calm. She slowly walked over to where he was sleeping. She carefully placed a hand on his neck to check his pulse. She was relieved to feel his heart beating. She looked at him. His expression had changed. He looked kinda sad.

Fifi: *whispering* "*sigh* Furrball...I know I wronged vous in ze past but...I don't know how but I will make eet up to vous. Promise"

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then walked to the door. As she opened it she looked back at him, sighed, then began to leave the room.

Furrball: *mumbling* "Fifi?"

Fifi froze in place, thinking she had been caught. But when she looked back the blue cat was still sleeping. Was he having a dream about her? She didn't know but right now she didn't feel like finding out. She slowly closed the door making sure not to creak.

Fifi: "rest easy Furrball. One of us has to"

Furrball slowly woke up and left the small room. His arm still hurt but it was doing better. Fifi had just gotten up and was cooking breakfast. Her hair was frazzled, she had a half asleep look on her face, and the space under her eyes looked a little darker than usual. Obviously she hadn't slept all night. Still he greeted her with a smile just to be nice.

Furrball: "morning"

Fifi: "oh hey, vou're up! Good morning!"

Furrball: "breakfast smells good. What ya cooking?"

Fifi: "well I made a salad for moi and for vous I'm cooking a little surprised I zink vou're gonna like"

Furrball: "great. I'd offer to help but in my current condition I don't think I should be doing any work"

Fifi: "oh zats fine. I used to take care of mon little brother Rory all ze time so I think I can manage"

Furrball sat down at the table. He felt a small twinge of pain in his arm so he started rubbing it, giving a small, almost silent, "ow".

Furrball: "I didn't know you had a little brother"

Fifi: "well zats understandable. Since I moved to ACME acres and he moved to new york we almost never see each other and his job as a detective keeps him pretty busy so he never has time to talk"

Furrball: "oh. So I'm guessing you live alone?"

Fifi: "yeah. Eetz just moi here. But vous could be my roommate if vous want"

Furrball: "really?"

Fifi: "sure! I wouldn't mind taking vous in! After all, what are friends for?"

Furrball: "thanks Feef! No one's ever offered to take me in for free before! I owe you one!"

Fifi: "zats OK. No need to repay moi. Here vous go"

Fifi placed a plate in front of Furrball. Furrball went wide eyed when he realized what was on the plate.

Furrball: "is this what I think it is?"

Fifi: "imitation tuna flavored wet cat food. I know how much cats love this stuff so I decided I'd give vous a little treat"

Furrball: "thanks Fifi! You know I think I'm gonna like living here"

Fifi: "I hope vous do. Anyway vous might wanna hurry, school starts in 2 hours"

Furrball: "right OK"

Furrball and Fifi ate and chatted, catching up on what happened after they lost contact. Afterwards they both got dressed and headed off to school.
