Kit went to the common area
and saw that the whole group except for Ping and Xanatos. "Hey. Where are
Ping and Xani-butt?" Kit asked. Clarise frowned and said "Will you please
stop calling him that?" "Will he stop being such a loser?" "Ping was in
Xan's room last time I checked." Kit walked upstairs and saw her brother
in front of Xani's fish tank. She saw the fish were alive and snapped her
fingers. Ping made a strange clicking noise that a lion stalking its prey
would make and said "Hi, Kit." "Hey, bro." Jin and Rehteah came in. "Can
I eat them?" Ping asked. Rehteah laughed. "You're kidding, aren't you, Ping?"
Kit shook her head. "When Ping was my age, he had a habit of eating other
people's pet fish alive. Once, he tried to eat a carp and almost choked
to death trying to swallow it tailfirst. Wait until he gets back, then eat
them all in front of him." Kit opened the tank and gingerly picked one up.
Jin pulled Rehteah into a kiss and turned her around as Kit swallowed the
fish whole. Kit then whispered in Ping's ear the plan. Ping grinned deviously
and nodded. "It will be worth the wait. They are very tasty fish." Jin pulled
away as he, Kit and Rehteah walked out, leaving Ping alone.
