6:30:53, evening, Kitchen, Zakia's POV...

I stared at the insane friend of mine as the flesh on her hand began to fade away. I finally just jumped up and took the thing away from her... then I put it in another tube.

When I was done securing it into a safe place, I turned around to have something splat itself onto my face. Growling, I shape-shifted my eyes into that of Ace's and the what-ca-ma-higy burned away. When I stopped to try it, I realized it was... Pie. Apple Pie to be more specific.

"THAT DOES IT! THIS MEANS WAR!" I shouted as I picked up a near-by egg cartoon and threw the contents at her.

1:27:32 AM, morning, Living Room, Zakia's POV...

I plopped down onto the couch w/my 2 friends. "Gosh, i'm TIRED!" I said.

"Join the club." said Ace.

I'm hungry. I stated after a few moments and Ace looked at me,

"Are you serious! We just had a HUGE food-fight followed by cleaning it all up! PLEASE, tell me your NOT serious!" pleaded Ace and I followed his statement w/a shrug.

"She's a Cat girl. She needs to eat a lot of food to keep at her energy level. I'm actually not very surprised that she's hungry. Can you at least last until morning? Its late, and I want to go to sleep." asked Kait.

"Sure." I said and we all drifted off to sleep.

12:30:24, Noon that day, couch/living room, Kaitlyn's POV...

I moaned as I was gently shaken out of sleep. "Kaitlyn, Kait, K? Kaitlyn, Kait, K?" repeated Ace over and over.

I opened my eyes tiredly as I looked at 'em, "Yeah?" I asked,

"We need to go to the store, we're out of food. And do you know where Z is? I can't find her anywhere!" said Ace,

"Yeah, she's probably up on the roof doing her meditation ceremony. It helps her to stay calm and to shape-shift. EVERYONE like us can do it, but if you suddenly drop out of the meditation ceremony's, then you eventually lose the ability to shape-shift. Cats can always do it, but if they drop out for long enough, it just won't be as sufficient and it'll take longer to do it."

"Can you still do it?" he asked me,

"Nope. It ain't very common for Dogs to be able to, I was. But I dropped out of it. The ceremony was boring and it took WAY to long. But Z has been doing it all her life. Why? Dunno. You have to do it twice, once at the crack of dawn and again at night-fall. She'll have to take extra long since she couldn't do the night one last night." I told him and he nodded.

After several minutes of watching the news in silence, Zakia entered the room in her normal clothes and a bright cheery smile on her face.

"Hiya guys." she said, "Whazzup?"

"Not much, doc. But we do need to run a quick-trip to da store and get some food. We used it all in the food-fight yesturday." Ace told her as she nodded understandably.

"Gotcha. And assuming that Kait here has told you 'bout the ceremony which I finished just a few moments ago, lets roll!" she said as we packed up and went out the door.

1:09:45, Afternoon, Market, Zakia's POV...

Ace and I walked side-by-side as we picked up various foods. Kait was off in the Hair&Accessories section... or at least I think she is. Knowing her, she probably saw something/one and followed it.

I sighed, she can be very weird sometimes.

"Penny for your thoughts, doc." said Ace outta the blue,

"Its just... Kaitlyn can be VERY weird sometimes. I just wish there was 1 STINKIN' DAY when she could be NORMAL. Just 1, and i'd be happy." I stated sadly.

He chuckled lightly, "Well, you have my sympathy, doc.'

I flashed him a smile, "Thanks."

Then outta the blue, a huge explosion rang out! Ace and I immediately sprang into action and ran towards the explosion. When we arrived, we saw this weird girl.

She had soft flowing white hair. A purple waistcoat on w/black pants, black tanktop, black boots w/silver buckles, black fingerless gloves w/dark purple cuffs.

She had a victim in her hands w/a long sword at the persons throat. It had a dark purple jewel on the hilt which was golden. The sword itself was blood-stained which meant she had seen alotta action.

When I looked closely at her eyes, I noticed something... no eye color or pupil...

"Ace!" I said turning to him, "She's blind!"

She narrowed her eyes,"Follow me, and this poor, poor, dog-girl DIES." with that, she jumped back into the smoke and dust and disappeared!

I turned at Ace, "There's only 1 dog-girl in this entire town..."

"Kaitlyn."
