Apple Butter was walking down the hallway in the hospital with his new family, which was called the Sandwich Family.
Peanut was very excited about his new younger sibling, he could finally act like a older brother to someone besides Grape. "I can't believe we actually got a new little brother! He's so cute! I got to show you my comic Adventures of Spot, and we have a video game console called a Wii." Peanut said. Grape smiled, "There's plenty of cats where we live. And I'm sure Max wouldn't mind being your friend." she said to Apple happily.
Apple's expression was one of curiosity, happiness, and a hint of worry for his friend Garner. "Okay, where do you live anyways?" Apple asked to them. "Babylon Gardens, a haven for pets and their owners." he answered Apple. "It's a place full of nice pets, you show be pretty unique among them because of you being Australian." Jill said.
They soon left the hospital and went to the car and Apple Butter sat in the back middle seat between Peanut and Grape. Apple Butter ate a dog-safe chocolate bar that Peanut gave him. "Thanks for the chocolate, never had any." he said munching away his chocolate. Peanut was flabbergasted, "You weren't allowed chocolate?" his younger brother shook his head. "Garner was careful about certain things, he taught me that."
Peanut was started was stray life was like, "What else was there?" Apple thought hard, "Well we found food, stole food and one time we killed a deer for food." Peanut looked shocked then looked a little sad, "You killed a deer?" Apple nodded and his expression turned into a serious one, "When you're a stray sometimes you need to survive, it's nature." he said with a deep and serious tone contrasting with his adorable kitten appearance that would make him look vulnerable. Apple Butter was no weak kitten and with his somewhat happy go lucky personality combined with the voice of a older more mature cat made him unique among kittens.
"I need to know more about you, when's your birthday? What's your favorite color? Do you like Pridelands?" he said quickly to Apple making him a little nervous, "Slow down! Ask more slowly!" Apple said pushing Peanut's head away from him. Peanut's ears drooped and he looked sad, "Sorry. Just wanted to know more about you." he said apologetically to Apple. Grape flicked Apple's ear, "Don't worry about him, he's always like this." she said to him with a smile.
Apple nodded, then he turned to Peanut to answer, "Well first my birthday is September 4, my favorite color is chestnut, I do read the Pridelands from time to time. My favorite series of books is the Hunger Games. My favorite food is fish and chips, I also love soda bread. I was born in the Outback and I lived with my parents until I was around six months old. I also have good memory and that's why I remember stuff from Australia." he explained to Peanut. Apple smiled like a very happy child, "I know quite a bit of French from my friend too, Il est tout à fait agréable, en fait." he said in a grateful manner.
They arrived at the house, and Apple has never been in anything more than a shelter. "Wow, nice place." he said with a restrained excitedness. Apple was the last one at the house following behind Grape. He ran around the house looking at things he never saw before. "This is amazing, I never saw a human house before!" he said to Earl. His dad nodded quickly, "It must be different from being a stray, huh?" Apple winked towards his dad, "It is quite a different experience." Apple replied looking around. Peanut poked him on the back, "Want to see my room?" he said with a pleading face, Apple nodded "Okay!" he followed his older brother up the stairs. "This is my room, it's a bit messy." Peanut said to Apple. He agreed, Apple was always a bit of a neat freak even as a stray which is considered strange to other strays.
Apple looked at all of the toys in his room, "Jees, these are all yours toys?" Peanut nodded and ran to his Wii, "This is called a Wii. Have you ever played it?" he asked to Apple. The blond cat shook his head, "Never played too many games." he said quietly. Peanut handed him a Wiimote. "To play with it you swing it around." he explained to Apple. Peanut swung the controller around without looking and nearly hit Apple. "Peanut! Watch where your swinging that thing!" Apple yelled to him. Peanut heard his brother's cry and tensed at his mistake, "Oh, sorry I didn't really see you, you're much shorter than us and heh, I didn't really notice you." Grape facepawed herself, "If you hit Apple by accident, I gonna shove the Wiimote down your-" Peanut shook his head and pointed towards Apple who looked surprised at Grape's outburst towards Peanut.
Grape blushed and held her hand behind her head, "Sorry, just telling Peanut to be careful." Apple shook his head, "What you were saying didn't sound like a simple caution, more a threat." Grape sighed and laid her paw on his shoulder, "Listen to me kid, it's going to take more than a simple telling off to control him, you would see." she said in a father-like tone which made Apple believe that Grape is more a tomboy than anything else. Peanut laughed nervously, "Grape says that I could be a handful, alot." Apple smiled, "I guess Grape is right, I guess I will have to be firm with you if I will have to control you." Peanut was dumbfounded, "Wait, isn't it the other way around?" he said in worried tone, Apple snickered, "You can still be a older brother, just as long you don't hurt me." Apple looked down at the floor, "Peanut and Grape seem so different, but if they could live together I guess I can."
