Chapter 9
The Letter
Dad opened the door and a man with a blue bag was standing there.
"This is the place where a fellow named-" He paused to look at the envelope, "Falcon Lombardi lives?" The man asked.
"Yes, thank you." Dad replied. The man handed him the envelope. "You look a bit odd for a human..." The man trailed off. Dad didn't answer back. He closed the door and flung the mail at Falcon. "Thank you, Falcon- you almost got my cover blown." Dad growled. Falcon's guilt meant sorry. He opened the letter and a card came out.
Dear Falcon,
I'm inviting you to a party on May 5th.
Please bring all of your friends with you.
Since I moved, you should fly towards the colorful lights about five mountaintops away from your home.
I'll see you there!
Katt Monroe
Krystal leaned over behind Falcon and read the letter. She gasped.
"It's an invitation from Katt! Oh, Falcon, can I please go with you?" Krystal begged. "Why should I let you go?" Falcon snapped. "Well, she said to bring all of your friends! And I'm her best friend!" Krystal was getting angry, which was a first for me. "I'll think about it." Falcon ended. "A letter from Katt..." Falcon sighed. I noticed Falcon was headed to the no-response stage of his brain, so I waved my hand in front of his face. He didn't notice. "Falcon!" I shouted. "Huh?" He shook himself awake. "Who is Katt in the first place?" I threw a question at him so he wouldn't fantasize. Falcon cleared his throat. "Katt is a black cat who's thoughtful and she's really sweet, and-" "Falcon, you'd better drop your dreams right now!" Krystal cut in. As they continued fighting, I took a glance at Dad. He was of course, watching all of this with amusement, yet never disturbing the flow of our behavior. He would probably use all of this information against us someday, but for now, he was enjoying the conversation. "Enough fighting! Let's just get ourselves ready for the party tomorrow!" I couldn't believe how much Falcon and Krystal fought. It was almost like...
"Fox! Let's go to the place where all the humans buy clothes!" Krystal grabbed my arm and rushed towards Dad. "Wolf, let's go! We've got to get ready for the party!" Krystal exclaimed. "Okay, let's go." Dad replied with equal enthusiasm.
