Esme sighed when she could rest a bit. Being a mother of two teenagers and a 6 years old emotionally scarred daughter was far from easy.

"Aunt Esme, Alice is teasing me!" Rosalie yelled.

"I only told you the facts but you don't want to listen!" Alice shot back.

There we go again; I have to interfere again. Sometimes it felt like I had 5 teenagers and two little children. Esme thought

She didn't mind mostly but she could use some rest now since her ears were hurting from Bella and Bloom's quarrells and the bickering between Bloom and Edward. Only God knew why those two couldn't stand each other.

"Only a story would help them calm down now," Edward smirked.

Emmett swept the two infants of the floor and put them on the couch near Esme.

"Okay which story do you want to hear?"

"About animals," Alice chimed.

"Well there it goes," Esme smiled.

"Long ago when Earth was just created there were 13 animals:

A cat, dog, rat. bore, sheep, tiger, dragon, snake, monkey, chicken, horse, bu and a rabbit...

A long, long time ago, the Cat and the Rat were the best of friends. They accompanied each other everywhere they went and they shared their food. One day, the Cat learnt that the Jade Emperor was going to elect twelve animals to represent the twelve calendar years, and invited all animals to a party. The Cat suggested to the Rat that both of them should make a presence.

When the day finally arrived, the Cat told the Rat, 'I am going to take a nap so that I will be in my top form. Can you please wake me up when it's time to go to the party?' 'No problem.' the Rat replied, 'Just relax and rest. I will wake you up when the time comes.'

After the Cat fell asleep, the Rat thought to himself, 'I am among the smallest of all animals and I don't stand a chance in making one of the twelve if the Cat will go.' So when the time came, the Rat left on his own without waking up the Cat, and was elected as one of the twelve Zodiac Animals.

When the Cat found out what the Rat had done, he was furious. The two became worst enemies. This is the reason why cats are not one of the twelve animals and they love to chase after rats.

After selecting the twelve animals, the Jade Emperor asked them to rank themselves from the greatest to the smallest. A long debate was resulted and when all the dusts settled, the Bull* was ready to claim the top spot, but the Rat objected. 'I should be at the top of the chart because I am the most feared animal in the jungle.' The Bull began to laugh in despise, and the Rat continued, 'The best way to illustrate this, is for me to travel through the jungle, so that you would see the feared look on their faces. However, it will take me a long time to travel through the jungle. Do you mind giving me a ride?' The Bull agreed and the two proceeded towards the jungle.

When the animals saw the Bull and his angry look, they were dead scared and started to run. None of them saw the Rat, which was sitting between the horns of the Bull. But the Bull mistakenly thought that the animals were running away from the Rat, gave up his top spot unwillingly, and assumed second space on the zodiac chart."

Alice was crying at the end of the story just like Bella while Bloom and Rose tried to wipe away their tears without any one seeing them.

The boys were very quiet and were lost in their thoughts.

'Mummy since they abandoned the cat; may we have him?'

'No Ally we can't because they cat's still from the emperor even if no one pays attention to him.'

'One day I'll make sure the cat's reunited with the other animals or else I'll kick their sorry asses for them!' Alice cheered.

'God have mercy on me', Esme mumbled. It's just a story but yeah it's Alice we're talking about
