Author's Note: Well, I gotta say, this is going to be a real doozy now, why? Okay, I'll tell you; next week I will be going back to school. This means it's going to take me a while to come up with chapter ten. I hope it's all worthwhile for all you readers out there. Also, I just want to say that my Aunt Christine is all better now; I attempted to send her a nice get well card but my mother forgot it. Sometimes, I wish that she should remember things more often. Anyway here's the long awaited chapter nine.

Disclaimer: You know what? In hindsight, I bet you readers out there know the drill. If not, I recommend you read the previous chapter(s).


About This Morning…

The sun had started to twilight over the fair city where lights soused every single urban establishment and resident, big or small, in a luminous wave; even the stoplights made Christmas come earlier than usual and unexpected like a package from a foreign country. Vehicles of all sizes, makes, and even models drove through (and around) every street, road, turnpike, avenue, even bridge, tunnel, highway, freeway, and even some went off road. A calm breeze strolled through the town offering a sense of serenity to passers-by; in turn, many pedestrians (and bicyclists) were all aware that the breeze would keep many of them cool and unperturbed as most went to go home. The wind even titled the nearby forest back and forth peacefully (and carefully) while attempting to detach all the dew from the green greens on their heads; some the leaves however, fluttered up into the heavens. The sky was about to be dark anyway so no one cared anyway.

"Well, I did...sorta?" shouted on the trees below who kind of sound offended by the last line.

The only thing that needs attention on the other hand inside the room in the gigantic communal building are five (very out of the ordinary) individual employees who have decided to go to overtime with work to get extra dollars on their paycheck.

"NO, WE DIDN'T!!!" shouted the agitated personnel…

Well, anyways here the people discuss about the events surrounding today's café blunder while cleaning up the mess made earlier. The cherry-eyed moose in question standing in the middle ground was now sporting in a jet black tracksuit that showed each and every inch of his substantial muscles while matching his awesome hair despite the large burgundy marking on it. The rest were now in their everyday clothes carrying stacks of paper documents like warm, soft, but dry pancakes; one of them even carried a box full of it.

"So, Miss Ella, about this morning, the Carl guy you encountered on the train, did he really do it?" asked the struggling Ken who was holding a box of paperwork. "Who wants to know?" replied the tangerine cat coldly as her mind commanded the blank faced credentials to line each other up and stack. The dog-mole accountant calmly but somehow scared answered, "well you said that a cockroach like him wouldn't do well serving coffee and it would close the café down, right?" "Yeah, so?" she retorted. "I noticed that he's an insect and that he hindered the coffee business and all but you could have placed him in other working fields here like resources or research and development in the first place anyway," the male said as he placed the container down on a counter slowly. "Besides, his brother is an insect too so I don't understand why you turned him down." "Then, I suggest you should you go ask him!" shouted Ella.

Apparently, the feline knew the answer but she was too frustrated to answer because of the rout she suffered at the hands of those intrusive rabbits especially when Carl stop Ella and her equals from succeeding. The tangerine cat was also not in the mood to talk about it anyway.

"I can't believe that I have to stay here tonight because of this and all; I was suppose to meet up with my friends tonight at 7:45 for bowling night," Ken whined as he scrambled to pick up more credentials. "Well, get used to it, newbie," a tired Ella spoke as the cat wiped her forehead clean despite a small amount vestige of sweat present. "I doubt that we will get out of this." However, pretty soon, the office was now straightened out and the horn squawked loudly signalling that it was time to go.

Finally, everyone that was still in the building now packed up their things, gotten out of their seats, and prepared to leave. "Phew, I'm glad that's over," the accountant sighed jubilantly. "So, got any plans tonight, miss?" the once quiet Ultimoose asked Ella once he stepped out of the background. "No, of course not; besides, this doesn't involve you anyway," the cat responded lowly as she headed out the wooden door. To Ella, working at this place is…well anyways all that matters they all left the establishment so they can all focus on tomorrow; besides, most of them have a life.


Well, I told you it was a doozy; but, at least it was longer than chapter six, nonetheless. I hope to make it up to you soon but now I'm off 'til next time...
