Chapter 3: The New Tiger Cubs

As soon as we arrived downstairs, Midnight's first kitten was just starting to get born. We kneeled down to their basket to take a closer look. It was a wonderful sight to see. As soon as I heard its first squeal, we all awed at that small bundle.

"Heh, cute little fella, ain't he?" Bugs commented. I looked up at him.

"How do you know it's a he?" I asked him with a little chuckle in my voice.

"Eh... wild guess."

I shook my head with annoyance. He had an excellent sense of humor. Lola reached in from behind me and picked up a kitten. It squealed again when she did so.

"Oh, he's so cute," she commented as she examined it. She checked what gender the cub was. It was indeed a male. I took a closer look at him. He was blind and deaf, but had a little fur on him. He looked too adorable.

"He looks like the hardworking type to me," I said randomly. Lola looked at me with a confused look on her face.

"Huh? Hardworking? I don't think so."

"Well, that's your opinion. You can easliy tell their personalities when they get older."

"Hope so." She settled the cub back in the warm basket with his parents. I rubbed Jerami on his head as I spoke.

"Good boy, Jerami," I said to him. "You're finally a father."

"I feel happy for myself." Jerami replied back. "Pretty soon, I'm gonna have to learn how to be responsible for them."

The birth process continued. By 2 hours and 30 minutes later, Midnight was done and exhausted. Jerami rubbed his face against hers to comfort her while Sylvester counted the cubs.

"She'sth a proud mother of 9," He said happily. I smiled.

"Wow. That's a lot of kids. But, I gotta admit, Midnight did an excellent job." I replied as I saw the cubs frantically suckling on her for milk. They all looked just like their parents. There were 5 males and 4 females. The males looked like Midnight while the females looked like Jerami. I almost cried at the sight of it. Happy tears, that is. Lola noticed and embraced me for comfort.

"Happy to see you cat a father, Zeon?" Lola asked me softly. I nodded.

"Yeah." I replied. "I never knew that he could be a good daddy."

She giggled. "Me, too."

Something came to my head as we let go. "Lola, can I talke to you privately for a minute?"

"Sure." She picked me up and walked into the living room. She sat down, settling me on her lap.

"What's wrong?" She asked me. I got nervous at first, but spoke anyway.

"I had this dream last night. It was peaceful. I was in this huge cornfield and in the middle of nowhere. Then, I heard this voice call my name. It sounded deep and femine. I followed it. Then, the next thing you know, I see this beautiful purple wolf lookin' fine as she was. She was sitting in this chair with her legs crossed and her huge fluffy tail swaying in the breeze behind her. She had seductive light green eyes and a sexy look. Best of all, she was exactly my height!!!!" I got excited, but controlled myself after that. I continued to speak. I could tell she was listening. "Then, all of a sudden, she just... kissed me. No reason though. We held that kiss for a while. Then, when I was about to give it to her, the alarm rang and woke me up. Does that mean anything to you?"

Lola looked at me for a minute. She heard everything I told her, but she looked confused. I kept quiet though, so I won't interrupt her thoughts. After 15 seconds of silence, she finally spoke.

"Yeah. It means that one day, you'll find a female about your height who cares about how you are on the inside, even though you feel bad about that issue." She responded. I was impressed.

"Really? I hope so. Male friends is all I have now." I told her with my head down. She showed a look of concern as she lifted my head up.

"It's alright, Zeon. You may be short, but you have a big heart in such a small package." She embraced me again. Somehow, she understands about my height and age issue, so she hugs me every now and then, just to cheer me up. To tell you the truth, it works every time.

"But, really, Lola. Do you think there could be a female at my age and height?" I asked her.

"Could be. You'll never know who you'll find in California." Those were her final words before she left back into the kitchen to check up on Jerami, Midnight, and her cubs. I just stood there on the couch, watching her. I was in deep thought.

'Could Lola be right about everything?', I said in my head. 'She sounds like she knows it's gonna happen one day, but what if it didn't?' I looked a bit concerned as I was talking in my head. 'If a person named Celica Wolfpack really does exist, then my dream comes true. That's the only proof I need.' I nodded once to that thought as I jumped off the couch and ran to the kitchen. I walked up to Lola and tugged her shirt.

"Lola, I've decided something about this 'dream' happening." I told her. She turned around and smiled.

"What is it?" She asked me. I cleared my throat before I spoke.

"The girl's name was Celica Wolfpack. If she really does exist the way she looked in my dream, then I'll claim that as my dream coming true. Agreed?"

"Agreed." She replied back.

"Good, because like you said: 'You'll never know who you'll find in California.' By the way, where did you get that phrase from?"

"I got it from my best friend, Minerva Mink. She was right about that, too."

"She was?!?! Well, I've gotta talk to her..." I paused. I felt something wrong inside me and turned towards the front door of the studio. The others were concerned.

"What is it, doc?" Bugs asked. I didn't answer. I walked up to the door and heard banging at the door. It was loud. I took a step back and looked fearless. The banging continued as Sylvester walked up to me.

"Who'sth that at the door?" He asked me, but I didn't listen. I was ready for a fight. I walked up closer to the door and reached for the doorknob, grabbed it, and opened the door. It was a gang of 5 wolves, armed with guns, knifes, and bombs. I saw one of the wolves was a female. It was the one from my dream. The fur color, the clothes, the big fuzzy tail, the eyes, everything. The question was: What's her name?

"Alright, buddy," The huge hunk of a wolf said to me. "If ya have money, give it up."

I looked as cool and calm as possible. "I don't really have any, but you can try to force me." That made the female smirk.

"Oooh, tough boy, aren't you?" She asked me. I looked nervous. She was the exact same height as me and had that voice. I responded with a nod.

"Yeah. What's your name?"

"Celica Wolfpack. You?"

'Celica! Oh, my God!!!! That's the girl from my dream. Lola, or should I say, Minerva was right!' I thought to myself.

"I'm Zeon Keoni Prosby."

"Nice. I feel like I've seen you before."

'She does?' I asked in my head.

"Really? Where at?" I asked her. She walked up to me to get a closer look. Then, she showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, my God!!!! You're that hansome wolf I saw in my dream!" She exclaimed. I was surprised myself.

"You mean to tell me that you had the same exact dream as I did?" I asked.

"Yeah. And, boy, you were kissin' me like whoa!!!"

"Wow! I guess I'm not the only one that's short. How old are you?"

"22."

"You're a year younger than me."

"You're 23, huh? Well, guess what?"

"What?"

She replied to this by kissing me tenderly on the mouth. My eyes went wide for a moment, then I gave into the kiss. The moment she moaned, I rubbed her back gently while she wrapped her arms around my neck. We were the exact same height. Everybody watched us make out and the gangsters grew nervous about one of their teammates joining me. They ran away 5 minutes later. That sent the Looney Tunes laughing.

"Ha, ha!!!!" Sylvester laughed out. "I guessth they already know that Cthelica'sth gonna join usth!"

"Guess so, doc," Bugs agreed. Lola didn't say anything, but I had a feeling that she nodded.

After a few minutes of kissing, Celica finally released and looked deeply into my eyes.

"You're just the man I've been looking for," She said to me seductively. I raised my eyebrows in agreement.

"Really? Since the dream, right?" I asked her.

"Oh, yeah. And guess what?" She rubbed under my chin as her other hand went down to my crotch. I shivered a little.

"W... what?" I stammered.

"I wanna make you mine... now." She replied as she grabbed hold of my pants zipper. I didn't look down.

"Where at?" I asked her. She moved closer to my ear as she whispered.

"In the nearest bathroom, what do ya say, Cutie?"

I nodded. "Oh, I'll be there." I replied seductively. She agreed to this by delicously licking my neck.

"Meet ya there at 7:30 tonight... in the nude." She said silently after she licked me. My eyes shaped into hearts.

"Sweet." I agreed.

She smiled seductively at me before she left out the door. I purred sexually as she walked.

"Oh, damn. I'm in love." I sighed. Bugs and Sylvester chuckled.

"I guess you're really gonna do that 'love' ting, right?" Bugs asked. I nodded.

"Oh, hell yeah."

"I always knew that his dream could come true." Lola said randomly.

So, that was settled. Later tonight, I'm gonna make love to the girl of my dreams. I just hope that she won't give me a hard time because this is gonna be my first time doing this. Wish me luck.
