*~* Nicole's guestroom ~*~
It was late in the morning about 9:00 am Earth time. Merle was getting impatient waiting for Nicole to get up, for she had been awake for a few hours already.
"Come on, wake up you lazy girl," Merle said as she jumped up and down on her bed.
"St...ah…op, give me five more minutes." Nicole mumbled mixed with a whine as she though a pillow at the annoyed cat girl. Nicole stretched out and yawned 'better get up n…' her thought got cut off by a retaliated throw of the pillow at her head. "I'm up, I'm up"
"Finally, come on we got to get before we can do anything today." With that Merle got up and went to one of the closets at the other side of the room and pulled out a nice pale green dress and no frills.
"Merle, you're not serous; are you? I can't wear a dress."
"Come on you'll look great in it." Merle practically begged with the look in her big blue eyes.
"Fine," Nicole went to the bathroom, washed herself then got changed. "Merle," she called "I feel silly in this thing."
"Just come out. Let me see"
"Promise not to laugh" Nicole said with a serous tone.
"You look great," Merle said as Nicole came out, "Now let's go."
Merle and Hitomi made it out of the palace without too much trouble from Van.
~*~ Flashback *~*
"Where are you two off two?" Van asked.
"We are just going to the market place Lord Van." Merle said with her tail wagging back and forth. Nicole just stood there patiently waiting for the cat girl to finish.
"Fine, just be careful," Van said with worry, "there have been rumors of enemy sightings along the borders of Fanelia."
"Don't worry Lord Van we will be careful."
"Ok, come back if there is any sign of trouble." Van spoke with on of his big brother looks.
"Thank you Van." Merle said as she jumped up to hugged him then licked his cheek. She ran towards Nicole.
"Thanks Van." Nicole managed to say as she was dragged of by merle.
Van watched until they were out of sight then went to his study,
*~* End of Flashback ~*~
Merle and Nicole walked though the market place.
"Do you know what he looks like now?" Merle asked
"Not really, but I will know it's him when I see him." Nicole looked up to the sky. The sun was shining bright in the clear blue sky, without a cloud. "I hope we find Dillan soon." She whispered
"Don't worry we'll find him," Merle said putting a friendly paw on her shoulder. Nicole looked back at her friend.
"Thank you Merle."
"Come on; while we look why don't visit one of my favorite jewelry shops." Merle said in an attempt to cheer Nicole up.
"Okay," 'There are so many different types of shops.'
~*~ 15 minutes later *~*
The two finally got to the shop that Merle was talking about, narrowly missing a few people along the way.
"Well, were here." Merle announced, "Hello Mr. Ilie."
"Hello Lady Merle," the plump store manager replied, "how may I help you?"
"Just browsing sir."
"Wow, this is really beautiful. Merle, come look," Merle turned around to see what Nicole was looking at. Nicole held up a charm bracelet she had found. It was gold and the one charm that was already on it was pair of silver wings.
After staying at that one shop, the two decided to get down to business and start to really look for Dillan, but they couldn't find him any where.
"Merle, I think we sho…" Nicole was cut off when she felt something hide behind her skirts. She looked down to see what was there. It was a little cat girl no more then 5 years old. She had a light violet dress on, and her light blue hair was tied back with a purple ribbon.
Merle looked over to see who was bothering her. It was a couple of young boys throwing stones. Merle went up to them, "Why are you two throwing stones at her," Merle pointed to the cat girl that Nicole had now picked up.
"We were just playing, Miss Merle, honest," The boys said trying to avoid Merles gaze.
"Don't you two throw anything at anyone again. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Miss Merle," the boys said in together.
"No go, run off," Merle shooed them away
Nicole was trying to calm down the frighten child, "Its ok, they're gone now," She said. "What is your name? We'll take you home."
"Malika," the cat girl said.
When the three turned the corner to go down one of the alley ways, Nicole caught a glimpse of silver fly down another one near by.
