Chapter 7: The Tail's End
We spent the whole afternoon nursing Abby's wounds.
"Honestly, did you really have to do that?" I was bandaging her tail. Apparently, that was the most harmed part in the fight. She looked at me with a somewhat unsure look, then started licking her paw. That evening, I left her to herself, playing with the yarn ball. After dinner I tucked her in and said goodnight, stroking her before I left the room.
I didn't wake up again that night until two in the morning. I felt like checking on Abby, just to see if she was ok. She was curled up under the blankets and sound asleep. The great thing about it, she was human again. I don't know why, but I started stroking her, and she started purring. " I guess some things take longer to change." I thought. The effects had to wear off sometime, so I decided to enjoy the moment while I could. I let her alone and went back to bed, awaiting the Sun's morning light. The only problem was that I found Abby curled up in my bed the next morning. I was going to wake her up and send her back to her room, but instead, left her be and went to get breakfast. She was still part feline in a way, but that was the part that I liked about her, at times she was sweet and affectionate, even before she was turned into a cat. Then I was hugged from behind.
" Thanks for watching out for me when I was....you know....a kitten." Abby said.
"You would have-" I started, but was interrupted.
" And before you say that I would have been able to take care of myself, no, I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have been able to pilot the GRS-1, or explain to Lab Rat what happened , or feed myself, or get down from that tree, or even get back to normal." She paused.
"I just wanted to say thanks again," she said, "if you didn't understand earlier." In a matter of moments, she threw her arms around me and started rubbing her cheek against my cheek.
"Aw, you're welcome. Say, do you think you answer a few questions for me?"
" Only if you answer a few of my questions first." she answered.
" Um, ok." I said. I could tell that this was going to be a very long morning.
