A/N: Hey all! Thanks for your support with this story. Here's Chapter three for ya!

Sunlight poured through the blinds of Fifi's bedroom window, causing her to close her eyes tighter and roll over. Last night had not been a good one. At least not for her.

After coming home from dinner with Furball, Danny was waiting for her and was in a bad mood. He told her the only way to feel any better was for some certain activities in her bedroom. Fifi was not in the mood for sex, especially after the way Danny talked to her on the phone. But Danny was not going to take no for an answer. He grabbed her rather forcefully and told her if she loved him, she would do this for him. Fearing he might get any more physical, she complied to his wishes.

She opened her eyes and threw the blankets off, heading to the bathroom. She felt dirty.

Turning on the shower, she stepped in, letting the hot water soak her purple fur and run down her body. She closed her eyes, feeling the water relax her muscles. Her thoughts came back to Furball and the questions she had for him. But they were a bit different from before. Now Fifi found herself wondering what he thought of her. Does he like her? Does her resent her?

Does he find her attractive?

Her eyes snapped open and she shook her head. "What's wrong with you?" She asked herself. She barely even knew Furball and these were not the questions she should be asking.

After a thourough wash, she stepped out and dried herself of from head to tail. She just finished tying the sash on her robe when two large, black furry arms wrapped around her.

"Your so damn hot." A voice whispered sweetly in her ear.

She turned around to face a handsome, well built skunk in his late twenty's. Fifi gave him a venomous look and pushed her way out of his grip and walked back into the bedroom. When she re-entered the room, there was a large boquet of roses on her bed. Sighing, she turned around to face the skunk and crossed her arms. "You have one minute Danny." She ordered.

Danny smirked and closed the gap between them, saying, "I just wanted to apologize about last night. I know I was a little out of line but I just had a really bad day at practice. I know it's a poor excuse but I really am sorry." He explained taking her hands into his own.

Fifi sighed again and said, "Fogiven but not forgotten."

Danny flashed a smile and kissed her on the lips. Fifi wasn't too into it but kissed back anyway. He broke away and picked up his bag on the floor, "Ok, I'm out of here. See ya tonight babe." Danny told her and gave her a sharp smack on the bottom. Winking at her, he left the house. Fifi hated it when he did that. She felt like she was some toy for him. In fact, when she thought about it, Danny didn't want to do much these days but have sex. They hardly went out or did any thing normal couples would do. She was beginning to think that Danny was addicted or something.

"Why do I tolerate him?" She wondered out loud. Fifi had been thinking about leaving Danny for the last few days but there was still a part of her that loved him. That just made the situation that much more messy.

Getting changed and having some breakfast, she was sitting at her kitchen table wondering what to do today. Then something caught her attention on the table. It was the card that Furball gave her last night. Smiling, she grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

Fifi drove through town, searching for the restaraunt from last night. After finding it, she then procceded to the apartment complex that Furball had pointed to.

Parking her car, she entered the lobby and looked at a the mailboxes trying to find Furball. It appeared that he wasn't on any of the boxes. The closest thing she could find was R.T. Cat. The elevator opened and old rabbit couple entered the lobby.

"Excuse me," She asked the couple, "Do you know where a Furball Cat lives?"

The couple looked at each other confused until the wife had a look of realization, "Oh Furball! Yes, yes. Sorry dear but we usually call him by his real name. We live just down the hall from him. He lives in Room 218." She said and walked away with her husband.

Fifi stepped into the elevator with another question in her head. As far as she knew, Furball was his real name. It was common for toons who attended the Looniversity to change their name if they felt it wasn't "cartoony" enough. "Your just full of suprises aren't you?" She whispered to herself. The doors opened and she stepped out into the hallway. Walking down the hall, that nervousness creeped up on her again. Finally, she came to the door with 218 on it. Her legs felt shakey and the fur on her palms felt moist. "Stop it." She ordered herself. She knocked on the door.

No answer.

She knocked again but once more, no answer. She leaned her ear against the door and could hear music coming from inside. Fifi tried the door knob and discovered it was unlocked. Slowly opening it, she could hear the music clearly;

You hear them howling around your kitchen door,

You better not let'em in.

Little old lady got mutilated late last night,

Werewolves of London again!

Awooooo, Werewolves of London,

Awoooooooooo!

Fifi stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. The place was rather nice. It had basic furniture but set up nicely in certain spots, Paintings hung on the walls, a stereo where the music was blairing from rested on a table next to the TV in the living room. Some weights could be seen in the corner. She could see the kitchen from here which was clean and tidy. There was another room which she could only guess was Furball's bedroom.

Suddenly, a door opposite to the one she was looking at opened and out came Furball in nothing but a towel.

Fifi's jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw him. He looked WAY better than she thought. The alley cat wasn't exactly big but the muscle definition he had was enough to make any girl drool. He didn't seem to notice her as he bounced along to the tune of the song. Fifi covered her mouth trying not to giggle at the rather amusing scene.

Furball turned around and nearly jumped out of his fur when he saw her. Fifi let out a burst of short laughter as Furball fiddled with the stereo to turn it off. He stood there scratching the back of his head in embarassment.

"I'm sorry Furball," Fifi said after calming herself down. "I just thought I would come visit."

Furball nodded, smiling awkwardly. Looking down, he realized he was almost naked in front of the beautiful skunk. He put up a finger to signal her to wait a moment as he ran into his bedroom to get change. A minute later he came out wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

"I was thinking mabye you would like to get some lunch at the mall or something?" Fifi asked, playing with the belt on her own jeans. She felt very shy around him all of a sudden.

Furball gave her a wide smile and nodded. The two left the room and stepped into the elevator. As the doors closed, she told him, "The old couple who lives down the hall from you said that they usually call you by your real name." Furball looked at her and raised a brow in curiosity as to where she was going with this.

"I was just wondering, if you don't mind, what your real name is?" Fifi asked trailing off a little at the end. She found herself getting lost in his eyes. Furball reached into his pocket and gave her his wallet. She looked at his Driver's Liscense which read, Ryan Thomas Cat.

"Your name is Ryan?"

The cat nodded and took his wallet back. "Would you...mind if I called you Ryan?" Fifi asked softly. Furball looked at her and shook his head no he did not mind.

"Well Ryan, what do you feel like today?" She asked as they walked out of the lobby and towards her car. Furball shrugged. "Well, we'll see what they got when we get there." Fifi said, backing out of the parking lot.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the mall. Entering the large facility of shops, the two toons made their way to the food court. Guys passing by would usually give Fifi a second look but there seemed to be alot more than usual looking at her, including women. In fact, it looked like everyone in the mall was staring at them. She felt very awkward and a little frightened. Then she felt Furball nudge her and pointed to a shop window.

A large poster showed Fifi modeling some revealing lingerie for the store.

Feeling extremly embarassed, she grabbed Furball's hand and led him to a table far away from the store. Fifi was so used to people staring, that's the kind of attention models get. But being almost naked on a poster in front of Furball made her self conscious for some reason.

Sitting down, Fifi apologized to him, "I'm so sorry you had to see that Ryan."

Furball looked at her like she was crazy. Looking at the poster than back to her, he formed a sly smile and let out a low growl of approvement.

Fifi blushed hard and felt a little giddy. "What the hell is he doing to me?" She wondered. Furball chuckled and then the sushi bar caught his attention. Fifi followed his gaze and smiled herself.

"Sushi huh? My favorite too."

The two got up and stood in line. While waiting, Fifi looked around the mall and to her horror saw Danny with some of his friends sitting at a table. She prayed to God he wouldn't see her. He did. Getting up, the large Rugby player approached them.

"Hey babe." He said, giving her a quick kiss. Looking at Furball he rudely asked, "Who's this guy?"

Fifi cursed silently and introduced Furball, "Hey sweetie, this is my friend Ryan." She figured telling him his other name would only give Danny matches to light a potential fire.

Furball gave him a smile and stuck out his hand to shake. Danny just looked at him and mumbled a, "Ya, nice to meet you." Furball's smile faded and put down his hand.

He turned back to Fifi and said, "C'mon babe, you can join me and the guys. I'm sure your friend won't mind." He gripped her arm tightly and gave a light tug. Fifi wanted to smack Danny right now. She looked at Furball and mouthed an apology. He gave her a soft smile and nodded. With that, he just turned and left.

Fifi felt incredibley embarassed and furious. She broke from Danny's grip and smacked him in the arm.

"What the hell is a matter with you! That's one of my friends!" She hissed.

"Yeah and you looked a little too friendly." Danny growled. Fifi closed her eyes in frustration and said, "Don't start with that bullshit. For God's sake, we were just standing in line!"

Danny leaned in nice and close, whispering, "Hey, every guy here and where ever we go wants to get in your pants. Including him."

"I can't deal with you right now Danny. We'll talk about this later." Fifi said rather dryly and stormed away. Danny looked like he was going to explode with rage. He suddenly got an idea and waved to his friends to come over. There was buisness to take care of.

Furball made his way through the underground parking lot, hoping he could catch the bus once he gets out. As he rounded a corner, he was forcefully shoved into the wall. Looking up he saw Danny with his friends. BIG friends. Two being grizzlies and another a tiger.

"Listen up jackoff," Danny said sternly, "I'll make this short. I've seen tons of guys like you with my girl. You pretend to be friends with her and have no other intentions than that. But I know what you want. Trust me, I've broken every single one of those guys in two. Don't ever come near Fifi again. She's mine. I own her. Is that clear?"

If there was one thing Furball learned from the streets, it was to defend himself. But right now, he was out numbered. Giving Danny a hateful glare, he nodded.

"Good. I'm glad to see your not a complete moron like some other guys I knew that needed more persuasion. Let's go boys." He ordered. He turned to leave but suddenly spun around and knee'd the feline in the gut. Furball crumpled to the ground gasping for air. Danny spat then left him.

Once he caught his breath, he sat up against the wall. He let out a loud sigh and hung his head between his knees.

Later that night, Fifi was on the phone with Babs.

"Ryan? I didn't even know he had a first name." Babs admited.

"Not suprised." Fifi sighed.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Look Babs, we didn't exactly acknowledge his exsistense at school. I may have spent a small amount of time with him but I could have done more so I'm guilty of it too. But all I'm saying is that there's probably a million things we don't know about him."

Babs was silent for moment.

"Is he hot?"

"Babs!" Fifi shouted.

"Well, is he?"

"...I don't know."

"Oh come on. Tell me the truth."

Fifi closed her eyes letting out a breath and replied, "He's drop dead sexy. There. Happy?"

"Much. Does he talk now?" Babs asked.

"No. He doesn't even meow now." Fifi answered.

"I bet he would for you."

"Babs, I swear to God..."

"No, I'm serious Feef. From what you told me, it sounds like he has a thing for you. And vice versa."

Fifi sat up straight, thinking of what Babs just said.

"Hello? Fifi?"

"...I don't have a thing for Furball." She said going back to his much more common name.

"Well it's too bad. He sounds really nice. Much better than that asshole your with now." Babs spat.

Ordinarly Fifi would stand up for Danny but right now she was still pissed at him. "I got to go Babs. I'll talk to you later." She said, not feeling like talking anymore.

"Ok Feef. You take it easy and think about what I said." Babs told her and hung up.

Fifi hung up her own phone and looked up at the ceiling. "Why is this happening to me?" She thought. She had to face facts. She was feeling some form of attraction to Furball. But she was convinced that it was just pyhsical. But right now she was considering him a replacement for Danny. It was over. Fifi was sick of his control over her.

As if on cue, the sound of her door opening and closing was heard and Danny walked in, a big smile on his face.

"Hey hot stuff. My back's bothering me, can you give it a massage?" He asked. His smile faded when he saw the look on Fifi's face. She stood up and pointed to the door.

"Out."

"What?"

Fifi crossed her arms over her chest. "It's over Danny. I've had enough of your jealousy and control. You could of cost me a friend, who I just got re-aquantied with after so many years. You have forced me to do things that I never wanted to do and enough is enough."

Danny didn't reply right away. He just sighed and said, "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this."

Quick and silent, he slapped her across the face, knocking her to the floor. Fifi felt a numbing pain on her cheek and hot tears falling. Danny gripped her by the hair and pulled her up to her feet. She wanted to use her spray but it would have little effect against on one of her own. He made her look him in the eyes.

"I through playing by your rules bitch," Danny spat, "We're going to play by mine now. You don't leave me. I leave you when I feel you have served your purpose. And that's a long ways away. I'll go out whenever I want and I choose if you come along or not. If I wanna pick up some whore at a bar and bring her back here, I will and I will decide if you join us or not. Understand?"

Fifi couldn't speak she was so frightened.

"Understand!" Danny roared.

Fifi whimpered and nodded. Danny hugged her close to his body and whispered in her ear, "Good. Now I'm going out again and you will stay here. If I find out you've left, I will strip you of your dignity and make sure your modeling career will end. Don't bother calling the police ethier. I have friends there and they will tell me if you or anyone else called."

Danny released her and walked out the door. Fifi curled up into a ball and let her tears shed. Never had she felt so scared and helpless. It was the worst possible feeling in the world. She had to tell someone. She pulled herself up and grabbed her cell phone. Shaking, she called Babs's number. It rang unanswered for a few seconds until a male voice spoke.

"Hello, Buster speaking."

"Buster...It's me Fifi...I...I need h-help." She said between sobs.

"Fifi what happened? Babs told me about this guy you were seeing, did he do something?" The blue rabbit asked quickly.

Fifi couldn't respond. She just kept sobbing.

"I'm calling the cops."

"No!" Fifi shouted, "He...would kill me if he found out."

Buster was silent on the other end until, "Fifi, listen to me. Babs and I are coming over and we'll figure this out. Do you know anybody that you can stay with and hide until we get there?."

Fifi was silent, then spoke, "Yes...I know someone."

End of Chapter Three

A/N: A good long chapter (I think). To clear some things up; I always thought that Furball was just a nickname for him and thought it would be cool to give him a real name. There's no real reason why I choose Ryan, I just asked a friend for a random name and it was that. But I still like to refer to him as Furball in non speaking text. The song I used was "Werewolves of London" By Warren Zevon. I suggest everybody that reads this to listen to it if you have not already. The lyrics are humourous and the tune of the song is awesome. Jackson Browne also does a very good cover of it. I was hoping that I made Danny come off as a complete scum bag and if anyone out there is in a relationship like that, GET OUT. Their not worth it. Anyway, Chapter 4 on the way.
