Ni-hao! AkaneKitty here. This is "Spice of Life."
An unfortunate accident, caused by P-chan, causes both Callie and Feral to have very different perspectives about their lives. But, it seems to irreversible. Is it? Not if P-chan can help it!

"Buu!" (My name is P-chan. A squire that protects the Rose Bride, Calico Briggs!)
"Buubuu..." (I try my best...but, it gets rough sometimes...)
"Buu." (For a time, my mistress was engaged to Steele, a hateful kat! He didn't treat her well...and he stepped on me a lot.)
"Buubuu!" (But, one day, a strong Knight came and chased Steele away...and he became my mistress' betrothed!")
"Buu!" (So know it's just the three of us: The Knight, Ulysses Feral, my mistress, and me!)
"Buu." (Uly-sama is much better than Steele. He treats my mistress much better than Steele...and he even feeds me! And, at least he doesn't step on me.)
"Buubuu." (Of course, the Knight doesn't like his engagement much. Hopefully that will change...for my mistress' sake.)
"Buubuu!" (Gotta run! I smell tuna!)
****************************************************
"Calico! P-chan ate my snack again!"
"P-chan, shame on you for doing that!"
"Buu..." (Can I help it that I like tuna just like the rest of you?)
Feral crosses his arms, looking at a know empty plate with a sleeping pig in the middle. "Faker! I know you're not sleeping!"
P-chan keeps his eyes closed. Callie takes out an apron.
"I'm sorry, Uly-sama. I'll make you another snack instead." Callie says, putting on the apron. "I hear you like curry noodles, Uly-sama."
P-chan opens one eye.
"Yeah...the spicier, the better." Feral blinks. "But, as a snack?"
Callie smiles. "I'll be right back."
"Buu..." (My mistress can make anything delicious! Maybe I can steal a bite.)
After making sure Feral wasn't looking, P-chan follows Callie into the kitchen. The she-kat was very fast in starting.
"Curry, curry...Anything can be curry!" Callie sings, moving about the kitchen.
"Buu." (My mistress can really get into her cooking. Maybe I should check out the action from up top.)
P-chan begins to make his way to a spice rack above the stove. Callie grabs a canister from it.
"Now for the curry powder!" Callie shakes some of the powder from the canister into the curry. 100X Fire Curry Powder. She then stirs it and takes a taste.
"Mmm...Very good!" Callie puts the canister back onto the rack and leaves the kitchen.
P-chan sniffs the air from his place on the rack. "Buu..." (Hmm...smells hot! Mistress outdid herself.)
"Uly-sama, your snack is ready!"
"Great! P-chan had better not be in there!"
"Buubuu..." (Uh, oh...Time to go!)
P-chan starts to get off the rack...but bumps into a large canister. It wobbles and falls on its side. Powder starts to spill from it and fall into the curry below.
"Buu!" (Oh, no! I'll ruin my mistress' masterpiece! Gotta get it upright!)
P-chan tries to upright the canister...but fails miserably. The top of the canister falls off and all of the curry powder falls into the curry. It bubbles dangerously.
"Buu...?" (What now?)
"Wow! It smells great!" Callie comes back into the kitchen. P-chan flies from the rack.
"Buu!" P-chan exits the kitchen in a hurry.
"P-chan?" Callie looks after him, but shrugs and starts fixing a plate. "Oh, well..."
"I can smell it all the way out here!" Feral says from the dining area. "It must be really hot!"
"It is!" Callie carries two plates with her into the dining area. She places a plate in front of Feral. She then sits down with her plate.
P-chan hides around a corner. "Buu..."
"Let's eat!"
**********************************************
Outside the dorms, all is quiet....Until...
An explosion rocks the South dorm. The windows are shattered, and smoke billows from the building.
"An explosion in the South dorm?"
"Oh my goodness!"
"What's going on?"
"Commander Feral...Calico Briggs...Don't they live there?"
************************************************
"If it cannon break its shell, the chick will die without being born."
"We are the chicks."
"The world is our egg."
"If we don't break the World's shell, we will die without truly being born."
"Smash the World's Shell!"
"For the revolution of the world!"
**************************************************
"My fellow Council members... This is the worse fate to befall the Rose Seal."
Alisa stands before Chance and Jake, who listen with rapt attention. Jake furiously takes notes.
"The Rose Bride and her betrothed seem to be involved in a dire accident." Alisa continues. "This was unforeseen...even by World's End."
Jake clicks his pen.
"They've both been transported to the hospital. I hear that their lives are in danger." Jake says, still writing. "I hear that it started over a cooking accident involving...curry noodles."
"Of all things..."
"So what will we do?" Chance asks. "World's End's plans may have been ruined over some curry."
Alisa sighs. Her cell phone begins to ring. "MiFurr. What?"
"They've been released?"
******************************************************
Later...
Both Callie and Feral were walking along the commons. They get a few stares, since everyone knew what happened by now.
"Ulysses!"
Both Callie and Feral turn around. Renee was running towards them.
"Ul-yss-es!" Renee jumps onto Feral's back. "I'm so glad you're all right! I heard about the explosion and...Eh?"
Feral slowly sinks to the ground. Renee couldn't believe it. Feral always carried her when she glomped him. But, maybe he was still injured...
"I'm sorry, Ulysses!" Renee scrambles to get off him. "I should have thought about your health, and..."
"It's okay, Hunter-san." Feral stands up and bows to her. "I'm perfectly fine. Thank you very much."
Renee blinks. "When did you turn so formal?"
***********************************************
Later...
Callie finds herself surrounded by three she-kats. P-chan, who was with her, sensed trouble. He runs off.
"Buu!" (I've got to find Uly-sama!)
Meanwhile....
"You've been in a good mood lately."
"Sure...now that she has the popular Commander Feral around, she doesn't have a thing to worry about."
Aiko steps forward, smirking. "But, that doesn't matter now. You're still a witch...no matter who protects you. And, since Feral isn't here...he can't do a thing!"
Some distance away, Kei watches with rapt attention.
A click of a pen is heard.
"What are you doing?" Jake says, startling Kei.
"Oh, Jake...don't scare me like that..." Kei says.
A slap is heard. Aiko had just slapped Callie across the face.
Jake gasps. "Ms. Briggs..."
Another slap is heard.
This time, it is Aiko holding her check. The group, including Jake and
Kei, couldn't believe it.
Callie had slapped back.
"You...you slapped me!" Aiko continues to hold her cheek. "My own mother
hasn't slapped me!"
"Oh, really? You've just slapped me for the last time." Callie adjusts her glasses. "Or, do you want a real fight?"
"...No! Excuse us!"
The group vanishes. Jake looks on in wonder.
"I can't believe it! Ms. Briggs...struck back?"
**************************************************
"Buu!(Uly-sama! My mistress is in trouble!)
"Huh? P-chan? What's wrong?"
Back in the dorm, which was patched up due to the explosion, Feral scoops the little pig up. He squirms.
"Buubuu!" (Please hurry!)
"P-chan...it's all right." Feral says. "I'm Calico...and Calico is Uly-sama."
"Buu?" (Huh? What's...What's going on?")
The door opens, and Callie enters the room.
"Calico, must you go through that abuse of she-kats...day in and day out?" Callie asks.
Feral nods. "Yes."
"But...why?"
"...I don't know."
"It was always like that for you, huh..."
Feral blinks. "Huh?"
Callie smiles. "Let's just say I don't think they'll slap you anymore."
"Really? Oh thank you!"
Callie nods. "Oh, yeah...I promise not to make your body be all violent anymore."
********************************************
"Buu..." (So my mistress is...)
"Okay, P-chan! Check this out!" Callie says, sitting at a table. "Our personalities got switched in that explosion!"
"Buu..." (So, Callie is Feral...and Feral is Callie?)
"Buubuu..." (Urk!)
"But, why did this happen?" Callie continues.
"I don't mind staying this way." Feral says. "I like seeing Callie be free like that."
"Well, *I* mind." Callie says. "Something must have caused this...It was..."
"...the curry!"
Both Feral and Callie run into the kitchen. "Calico, fix it the same way you did last time!"
"Okay!"
P-chan watches the scene with a guilty heart.
"Buu..." (Because of the explosion...because of the curry noodles...because I let that powder fall in!)
P-chan runs upstairs into the bedroom and grabs Callie's coin purse.
"Buu!" (I'll make things right! All I need is another explosion...and for that, I need is another canister of 100X Fire Curry Powder!)
***********************************************
P-chan makes the long trip to the local shop.
"May I help you?" A worker asks.
"Buu!"
"What a smart pig! Out on a shopping trip?"
P-chan makes his way to the spices rack.
"Buu." (My mistress usually buys the powder here.)
"What do you need?" The worker asks. "Oh! You want the 100X Fire Curry Powder?"
"Buu!"
"Sorry! Just sold out. But, we should have some more in a month."
P-chan is crushed. "Buu..." (...A month?)
"The last one was sold to a kat a minute ago...Hey, little piggy, are you okay?"
******************************************************
"Buu!" (The 100X Fire Curry Powder!)
"Piglet!"
A foot comes down on top of P-chan.
"Buu?" (Huh? Oh, great...It's Steele!)
"So...you really want this curry powder, eh?" Steele puts it in front of
P-chan's nose. "Well, here it is!"
P-chan makes a run for the powder, but is squashed by Steele's foot.
"I could give this to you..." Steele smirks. "...If you do what I say."
***************************************************
Later...in the greenhouse...
"I'm glad you came to me, Calico."
Callie just looks at him. P-chan hides in the roses, and Steele continues on.
"We were torn apart by Feral, but today is our weekly confirmation of our love." Steele says, moving closer to Callie.
"L-Love?" Callie blinks. "*Calico, what do you do here?*"
"As always, you're good at teasing me."
Callie backs up, and looks at P-chan, whispering, "You didn't tell me about this, P-chan!"
"Buu!" (Please bear with it, Uly-sama!)
"I'll show you how much I love you, Calico!" Steele reaches into his jacket and opens it. He moves even closer "Now...you show *me* your love!"
"Whaa!" Callie goes to hit Steele, but ends up hitting P-chan instead. "P-chan! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you!"
"Buu..." (It's all right...I sacrificed myself of my own free will...)
"Here it is, Calico. My love for you." Steele tosses a notebook to the ground. "I'll be waiting for your response."
Steele turns to leave. "Piglet, I'll fulfill my promise...once you bring that back!"
**********************************************************
"An...exchange diary?"
Later that night, Callie flips through the notebook Steele had left behind. In it was message between Callie and Steele.
"What is this? A slam book of love?" Callie says, looking at Feral.
"You've been keeping this all this time?"
"Yes, Steele insisted on it." Feral says, tying back his hair.
"Why did you keep doing it?"
"You didn't tell me to stop."
"Eh?"
"Once you tell me it's wrong, I'll stop."
Callie looks at it. "Well...it is, sort of...I guess."
"Okay!" Feral picks the book up and throws it in the trash.
"Hey! You can't just throw it away!" Callie fishes it out of the trash. "Say a goodbye note or something!"
"You're Calico at the moment, Uly-sama."
"Don't give me that! Why should I write to that greenhorn?"
P-chan snags the notebook. "Buu!" (I'll write!)
"Oh, thank you P-chan!" Feral says.
"We're both so tired from making curry noodles all the time." Callie chimes in. "It just wouldn't explode..."
"Buu..." (I'm so sorry, you two. P-chan will get you back to normal!)
*******************************************************
Next day, at the greenhouse....
"Well...It seems like you brought a response back." Steele flips through the book.
"Buu..." (Hope it works...)
"Here you go...your reward." Steele drops the canister of powder.
"Buu!" (The 100X Fire Curry Powder!)
"Buubuu!" (I did it!)
P-chan flies out of there.
Steele blinks. "Wow...that was fast...what's that pig so happy about? Oh, well."
Steele looks at the notebook closer. "Hmm?"
"W-What the hell?"
My deear Steele
I'm sorry this is late. Today I'll rite about Calico's favorite foods: Sushi, noodles, cookies...
"That damned pig! He must have written this!"
**********************************************
Back at the South Dorm.
Plate of Curry noodles, portion number fifty.
Both Feral and Callie stare at the noodles.
Callie sighs. "Well, eat up."
Feral nods. "Yeah..."
"Buu!"
P-chan enters the room with authority.
"P-chan?"
"What's wrong?"
"Buu!"
P-chan starts to pour the 100X Fire Curry Powder all over Feral and Callie.
"P-chan, what are you doing?" Feral coughs.
"What are you pouring on us?" Callie coughs as well.
"Piglet!" Steele storms into the dorm with his sword.
"Buu..." (Uh, oh!)
"You cheated me out of my 100X Fire Curry Powder." Steele slashes at P-chan with his sword. "But, I will be avenged!"
"100X Fire Curry Powder?" Callie coughs.
"Buu!" In an attempt get away, P-chan sprinkles some of the powder onto Steele.
But, unfortunately, some gets onto P-chan as well.
And...
******************************************
KABOOM!
Another explosion rocks the South Dorm.
"Oh, no!"
"Another explosion in the South Dorm!"
***************************************
The group lie on the ground, slow to get up. Feral moves first.
"Ow...Dammit." Feral holds his head. "What the hell..."
"Uly-sama?" Callie gets up and moves toward Feral.
She hugs him. "We're back to normal, Uly-sama! We did it!"
"Oh..." At first Feral was shocked...either from the fact that he was back in his own body...or that Callie hugged him.
"Yeah! But, that means..."
"P-chan!"
"Eep!"
"That first explosion was your fault, too!" Feral shakes his claw at him. "The 100X Fire Curry Powder did it, huh?"
"P-chan, you're such a bad boy!" Callie sighs.
"Buu!" P-chan shakes his head.
"P-chan, you're not getting out of this one!"
Steele gets up...and makes a hasty exit.
********************************************
The other Council members make it to the dorm.
"What now?" Chance sighs.
"I don't know..." Alisa spots Steele coming from the Dorm area. "Steele, where the Bride and Feral all right?"
Steele just looks at her.
Alisa narrows her eyes. "Steele...are you okay?"
Steele blinks.
"Buu?"
To be continued....
An unfortunate accident, caused by P-chan, causes both Callie and Feral to have very different perspectives about their lives. But, it seems to irreversible. Is it? Not if P-chan can help it!

"Buu!" (My name is P-chan. A squire that protects the Rose Bride, Calico Briggs!)

"Buu." (For a time, my mistress was engaged to Steele, a hateful kat! He didn't treat her well...and he stepped on me a lot.)

******************************************************

Both Callie and Feral were walking along the commons. They get a few stares, since everyone knew what happened by now.

P-chan snags the notebook. "Buu!" (I'll write!)

"Buubuu!" (I did it!)
P-chan flies out of there.
Steele blinks. "Wow...that was fast...what's that pig so happy about? Oh, well."
Steele looks at the notebook closer. "Hmm?"
"W-What the hell?"
My deear Steele
I'm sorry this is late. Today I'll rite about Calico's favorite foods: Sushi, noodles, cookies...
"That damned pig! He must have written this!"
**********************************************
Back at the South Dorm.
Plate of Curry noodles, portion number fifty.
Both Feral and Callie stare at the noodles.
Callie sighs. "Well, eat up."
Feral nods. "Yeah..."
"Buu!"
P-chan enters the room with authority.
"P-chan?"
"What's wrong?"
"Buu!"
P-chan starts to pour the 100X Fire Curry Powder all over Feral and Callie.
"P-chan, what are you doing?" Feral coughs.
"What are you pouring on us?" Callie coughs as well.
"Piglet!" Steele storms into the dorm with his sword.
"Buu..." (Uh, oh!)
"You cheated me out of my 100X Fire Curry Powder." Steele slashes at P-chan with his sword. "But, I will be avenged!"
"100X Fire Curry Powder?" Callie coughs.
"Buu!" In an attempt get away, P-chan sprinkles some of the powder onto Steele.
But, unfortunately, some gets onto P-chan as well.
And...
******************************************
KABOOM!
Another explosion rocks the South Dorm.
"Oh, no!"
"Another explosion in the South Dorm!"
***************************************
The group lie on the ground, slow to get up. Feral moves first.
"Ow...Dammit." Feral holds his head. "What the hell..."
"Uly-sama?" Callie gets up and moves toward Feral.
She hugs him. "We're back to normal, Uly-sama! We did it!"
"Oh..." At first Feral was shocked...either from the fact that he was back in his own body...or that Callie hugged him.
"Yeah! But, that means..."
"P-chan!"
"Eep!"
"That first explosion was your fault, too!" Feral shakes his claw at him. "The 100X Fire Curry Powder did it, huh?"
"P-chan, you're such a bad boy!" Callie sighs.
"Buu!" P-chan shakes his head.
"P-chan, you're not getting out of this one!"
Steele gets up...and makes a hasty exit.
********************************************
The other Council members make it to the dorm.
"What now?" Chance sighs.
"I don't know..." Alisa spots Steele coming from the Dorm area. "Steele, where the Bride and Feral all right?"
Steele just looks at her.
Alisa narrows her eyes. "Steele...are you okay?"
Steele blinks.
"Buu?"
