"This place is awesome!" I said when Pyunma showed me the village we would be living in.
"I thought you might like it," Pyunma said with a smile.
"Like it? I love it!" I said.
"There's one thing you won't like."
"And what's that?"
"There's only bedroom in our house."
"Okay...I don't mind that."
"And there's only one bed."
"Uh..."
"You can have it!" we chorused. "Fine!"
"We just agreed to sharing a bed..." Pyunma said.
"I know..." I said.

~*~*~*~*~Two years later..

"I wonder how Leah's doing in Africa?" I asked.
"She's probably having the time of her life," Françoise replied quickly. I learned a long time ago that she didn't like Leah.
"Françoise, don't be snotty. I know you don't like her, but you also know that I love you!" I said.
"I know," she sighed. Then she grinned. "I wonder how Jet's doing?"
"WHA?!"

~*~*~*~

"I know it's rude to ask, but why do you wear that hat?" Ms. Smith asked I did the outline of her fifth tattoo.
"I have a little deformity on my head," I answered as I quickly refilled the ink.
"What kind?"
"I wasn't born with normal ears," I said.
"Oh."
"Gold heart and blue flames, right?"
"Right."
"Aberdeen Bobcat spirit!" I said with a smirk.
"Yep!" Ms. Smith laughed.

That night when I got home, I heard two voices: one belonging to Jet and the other belonging to a woman.
"Jet, I'm home," I said as I set some groceries on the counter.
"Hi, Emily!" Jet said as he and the woman entered the kitchen. "Emily, this is Rose. Rose, this is Emily."
"Honored, I'm sure," Rose said with a disgusted look. I don't think she liked my white tee shirt and wolf pants with a baseball cap that said Ichiro in Japanese.
"Emily, we were going to go out to dinner, wanna come?" Jet asked.
"No.I have some things to do for Antonio," I said before going to my room.
"Is Antonio her husband?" I heard Rose ask.
"No. He's her boss. She's a tattoo artist downtown," Jet answered before I heard them leave in a car

"You hungry?" Jet asked while opening my door a bit and sticking his head in.
"No," I answered quietly.
"What are you drawing?" he asked while looking over my shoulder.
"Just...stuff," I answered while coloring in some snowflakes.
"Well, I brought you some dinner anyway," Jet said while setting a plate next to me. "It's your favorite: prime rib."
"No thanks."
"Are you okay?"
I nodded.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
He placed his hand on my forehead.
"Just making sure," he said. "Good night," he said before leaving.
I crawled onto my bed and fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~

"Ooh...a lion!" Leah said as we drove around the Savanna. "There's a cheetah! Oh! Elephant! Awesome! I love Africa!"
I smiled as I drove the jeep by a heard of elephants.
"HEY! THERE'S A POACHER! PYUNMA! THERE'S A POACHER OVER THERE!" Leah cried.
I stopped the jeep and looked in the direction she was pointing. There were three poachers heading towards some elephants.
"I'll make some butterflies," Leah said while holding her hands together. Ten fire-red butterflies came from her fingertips. They flew over to the poachers and the next thing they knew was and explosion from the butterflies.
"Way to go, Leah," I said as I continued driving.
"Thank you!" she said with a smile.

~*~*~*~*Two months later......

"Emily, go watch the desk," Antonio told me.
I walked up to the front desk and flipped through the agenda.
Someone walked in. I didn't look up.
"Ya got any openings?" the person asked.
"Yeah. What do you want and where?" I asked without looking up still.
"Red heart encircled in dark red flames. In dark orange letters in the heart, the name Jet. On my stomach."
I looked up and saw Rose.
"Oh.you.Jet told me you were a tattoo artist, but he didn't tell me you worked in such an advanced parlor."
I said nothing but I led her to a room.
"Why do you always wear that hat?" Rose asked as I started the outline of her tattoo.
"It's none of your business," I said.
"Okay then. Why do you wear that stupid animatronic cat-tail?"
"Who said it was animatronic?" I said. "And it's a dog tail."
"You mean it's real?"
"No, it's robotic," I lied.
About an hour later, I finished her tattoo.
At the cash register, as she handed me her money, she grabbed my hat.

"Oh my god!" she gasped. "You're a freak!"
"They're fake," I said quickly.
Rose tugged on them and I let out a small yelp, which showed my fangs.
"I feel sorry for Jet...he has a freak for a friend." Then Rose left.

When I got home, Rose was there. I set my glass of water on the counter as she and Jet entered the room. Rose was smirking.
"So, Jet, you never told me that Emily has a pair of dog-ears and dog fangs," she said suddenly.
Jet dropped his bottle of pop and I shut my eyes.
"What did you say, Rose?" he asked.
"Oh, you never knew?" As Rose and Jet got into a conversation, I slipped outside and ran into the woods.
