After Tarot and Max left, Peanut made some tea and was sipping some with Grape at the living room. "I wonder...does Apple plan to leave?" Peanut said to Grape. The lavender cat shook her head, "I don't think he would." she replied. "But what if his friend finds him?" he said in a slightly worried tone. Grape waved it off, "If he does, I would show him a family that would love to adopt him." she said drinking tea. Peanut shifted uncomfortably around the couch. "I hope that Apple could stay." he said. Grape sighed, "Well, he's still a young kitten, he may act tough, but he's not that strong."
Apple was at his bed listening to the radio. "These pop songs...feel wrong, but so catchy." he thought. The songs were slowly corrupting his brain into the lyrics not really suitable for little kids. The window gave a tapping sound that frightened the kitten. "EEP!" he looked outside where a couple of dogs were standing outside. "IS PEANUT THERE?!" one of them yelled. "HE'S DOWNSTAIRS AT THE KITCHEN...WHO ARE YOU GUYS?" the one in the middle that had a green collar smirked, "OH, LOOK. PEANUT GOT ANOTHER CAT TO SNUGGLE, CAT LOVER!" the dog said. Apple rolled his eyes, "SOME NERVE, BUD!" he yelled to them. The dog became angry, "IT'S BINO! NOT BUD, ******" he yelled. Apple's nerve busted, "DON'T CALL ME THAT, BINO! I'LL GO DOWN THERE TO KICK YOUR~" he was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
Apple turned around to see his dad standing at the door with a tired look. "Apple, what are you doing?" he said. The kitten nervously laughed, "Oh, hey d-dad." His father sighed, "Yelling at the neighborhood dogs?" he said. Apple gulped, "Uh...they were, making fun of my brother and I~" he father sat down on a chair near him. "Apple, you can't start antagonizing the dogs here. You do realize that they are easily 2 to 3 times your size. And you being a cat doesn't help." he explained to him. The blonde cat looked outside to the dogs have left. "Hmm..." he looked around. No one there.
"I also came up to tell you that new neighbors moved close here." his father smiled, "Peanut is very excited." Apple tilted his head, "New, neighbors?" His father remembered that Apple was still not used to the idea of neighbors. "When people move into new houses, that called moving." his dad explained. Apple nodded, "Okay, well it's not that late, maybe I'll visit." he thought. He was planning to find out where they lived so that he could say hello. "I'm going over there, dad." he got his scarf. He also gussied himself up a little. His dad nodded, "Peanut is probably going too, so behave yourself." he warned the kitten. Apple nodded, "Right."
He went downstairs to find Peanut growling at Bino, "Stop calling me cat lover!" he said to him. "Well...let's see, you have Grape, the purple menace as your girlfriend. And now there's the new kitten, I'm guessing you wanted to adopt him right?" he sneered. Peanut gulped, "Well, yeah but~" Bino and the rest of the dogs snickered, "Poor Peanut, two cats living with you...twice the cat lover than before." he held up two fingers. Peanut's growl grew angrier, "SHUT UP!" he yelled. Apple rolled his eyes, he then walked to the kitchen. "Oh look! It's Peanut's little kitten!" Bino said towards his group. Apple got a bottle sprayer out, "Go." he warned. Bino snickered, "What? What makes you think that~" a spurt of water got directing in his snout sending shock through Bino's brain. "AHH!" he covered his snout. Apple sprayed more water on Bino's face. "Leave my brother alone." Apple said in a much more serious tone than usual.
Bino became livid after getting sprayed on the face. "YOU LITTLE ****!" he yelled at the kitten. Apple's expression in contrast to Bino's angered face remained calm and neutral. "You are on our property, I have rights to make you to leave." he said. Bino was surprised, "Huh?" he said. Apple shrugged, "Need to know the laws here, plus...Fido wouldn't like it if a filed a complaint about your behavior." he said. Bino growled, "Fido. That goody two shoes." he mumbled. Peanut was also surprised at Apple's knowledge. "Come on guys, let's leave cat lover with his little brother." Bino said. Apple glared daggers at him, "Idiot."
"Grape!" Peanut yelled. She came into the kitchen in a dozed state, "W-what?" Apple was putting his scarf and gloves. "We're leaving." he said. The kitten smiled shyly, "I've never really left the house. Bit nervous to be honest." he muttered. Peanut heard him, "Don't be!" he assured him. "Our neighborhood safe...most of the time." Apple scratched, "What do you mean?"
