"Where'd she go?" she asked.

"Somewhere. What's the bag for?" said Alysse.

"Oh, Shigure I'm staying at your house tonight, kay?" Veronica said, looking at Shigure.

"Okay then, that works." he nodded.

'Hmm... I've walked quite a bit... I probably should check my surroundings before I get lost...' Tiffani thought, she would tend to get lost in her thoughts then lost in real life when she would go on a walk.

'hey isn't that... wow I did walk quite a ways that's Ayame's store... I guess I could drop by and say hi... maybe I should buy a dress, he seems to have great sewing skills... but I don't want anything revealing.' Tiffani thought to herself as she poked her head in the store to see if Ayame was there. She figured he was since there were lights on.

"Oh hello Veronica, you're staying the night again?" Tohru asked as she set the table for dinner. Veronica smiled and nodded.

"I guess I better set and extra spot, huh?" she asked, smiling.

"What's for dinner?" Kyo asked, jumping down the stairs.

"Sorry, all I could make was leak soup!" she said, frowning a little. Veronica cringed.

Tohru noticed this.

"You don't like leak soup either?" Kyo asked. Veronica shook her head in agreement.

"Oh I'm sorry! I could go and see if I could go buy something and make something else." Tohru offered.

"No it's alright I ate before I came here." Veronica lied through her teeth. Tohru smiled.

"Yeah and I'm not even hungry." Kyo lied.

"Are you sure?" Tohru asked. Kyo nodded.

"Veronica I'm going to go see Hatori really quick, I should be back in an hour. Get to know the others better, kay?" Shigure said, poking his head through the door, smiling.

"Okay.." Veronica answered quietly, looking at the three teenagers at the table.

"So..." she said, looking down at the table.

"Is there a girl for the cat?" Tohru asked, tilting her head. Veronica looked up.

"Yeah, but she literally JUST turned ten. The only animal that doesn't have a partner is the rat." Veronica said.

"Why is that?" Yuki interjected.

"I dunno. Personally I don't care. According to the story, it just seems like the rat is a dick." she shrugged. Kyo laughed.

"That's not nice..." Tohru said. Veronica just playfully shoved her.

"Don't worry I'm not the meanest person in the family... if you want to know who she is go ask Ayame who he was paired with." Veronica scoffed. Yuki perked up.

"I think he deserves what he gets." Yuki mumbled.

"Says the boy who gets no one." Kyo laughed.

"Geez I was right. The little rat is touchy! You're a little mean to Aaya, dontcha think?"

"No." he answered plainly, filling his mouth with leak soup. Veronica made a disgusted face.
