Piper decided that she would try to get some work done, so she went to the club.
She was there for about an hour when two of her waitresses and one of the bartenders showed up.
"Hey Piper!" One of the waitresses chirped happily.
"Hey Annie." Piper replied.
"What's wrong?" Annie asked.
"Nothing." Piper lied.
"Oh come on. You can tell me." Annie said.
Piper looked up then at Annie and said, "My life is becoming so predictable, you know? I know when something is going to happen."
"Get a dangerous, unpredictable hobby." Annie suggested.
"I don't think so. I'd rather do something different with something that I already know then start something new." Piper thought over what she said. "Did that make sense?"
"It made perfect sense. You want to spice up a part of your life." Annie said.
"See, how do you do that? Make complicated things I say sound so simple." Piper asked.
"It's a gift I guess." Annie told her.
"I see." Piper said and nodded slightly.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Annie asked.
"I guess you can clean up the back. It's getting pretty cluttered. Now, I even knew I was going to say that. See what I mean about predictable?" Piper asked rhetorically.
Just then, a black and white cat jumped up on the bar counter.
"I bet you weren't expecting that." Annie said.
The cat looked at Piper and meowed.
"Okay, whose cat is this?" Piper asked.
"Beats me. Want me to put it outside?" Annie offered.
"No, I'll do it later." Piper told her. Piper didn't really mind the car for some reason.
"Okay." Annie said. She smiled and went to the back.
That day, the cat followed Piper everywhere she went in the club. Wherever Piper went, the cat was only a few steps behind.
When everyone else left, Piper wiped off the counter and grabbed her purse. The cat sat on the bar counter and waited.
"Okay, go home." Piper told the cat. The cat didn't move.
Piper was at the door and the cat was just behind her.
"Get outta there." Piper said. The cat left the club and followed Piper to her car.
"Oh no. Don't even think of jumping in my car." Piper warned. The cat did it anyway.
"Get out of there." Piper commanded, but the cat just sat on the passenger side.
"I mean it. Get out of my car." Piper said. The cat didn't budge.
"Don't you have a home?" Piper asked. The cat just meowed. Piper's heart melted.
"You are kind of cute." Piper said. The cat just looked at her. "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take you home."
Piper got in the car and drove home.
Once she got home, Piper took the cat inside. It ran off into the living room. Piper smiled and Leo orbed in.
"Hello." Piper greeted with a smile.
"You certainly got cheery." Leo said.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you." Piper told him. "I've got a surprise."
"What is it?" Leo asked eagerly.
"Guess." Piper told him.
"Um, can I eat it?" Leo asked.
"You could, but I really wouldn't recommend it. They do in China and some places, but I don't think you'd like the taste." Piper replied.
"Ooookay. Can I wear it?" Leo asked.
"You'd need a lot more than one to make a suitable coat." Piper answered.
"Okay then. Is it black and white and red all over?" Leo asked.
"Yes, yes, and no." Piper replied. Leo really wasn't expecting a serious answer.
"Is it alive?" Leo asked.
"Yes." Piper replied.
"Does it make noise?" Leo asked.
"Yep." Piper answered.
"Can you just tell me what it is?" Leo pleaded.
"No. That would take away all of the fun." Piper told him.
"What fun?" Leo asked.
"The fun I'm having watching you guess." Piper said and smiled.
Leo didn't know what to say.
"It's in the living room." Piper said and Leo dashed off to the living room. Piper followed.
"There's a cat in here." Leo observed.
"Surprise!" Piper said.
"That's...cute." Leo said. "Well, I did come here for a reason."
"What is it this time?" Piper asked and sighed.
"A demon called Eulb. He's a big, ugly purple monster." Leo told her.
"What does he want?" Piper asked.
"Well, he's after an amulet. The girl who had the amulet has disappeared and so has the amulet. No one knows where the girl or the amulet have disappeared too. All the Elders are really sure of is that Eulb doesn't have the amulet. They don't really know much else." Leo told her.
Piper gave him a look that said go-on.
"So, the girl is your innocent. Your task, if you want to call it that, is to find the girl, find the amulet, and vanquish Eulb. In that order." Leo finished.
"Okay, I'll start right away." Piper said.
"Good. I've got to go...work." Leo said and orbed out.
Piper looked at the cat and said, "How am I gonna find that girl?"
She was there for about an hour when two of her waitresses and one of the bartenders showed up.
"Hey Piper!" One of the waitresses chirped happily.
"Hey Annie." Piper replied.
"What's wrong?" Annie asked.
