Chapter 15
Getting Things Started

We hopped out of the ship and walked up to the large den.

"I bet Katt will be surprised that we're transformed now, right?" Krystal asked eagerly.

"I guess so." Falcon muttered. Krystal raced towards the door and knocked. No one opened. I could feel Krystal's hopes sink. I heard Falcon's voice behind me.

"Let me do it." He turned a knob and the door opened. How'd he do that?

"This is going to be another 'surprise', isn't it...?" Falcon muttered under his breath. We walked into the house and looked around. I stared ahead into the dark emptiness.

"We did come on the right day, didn't we...?" I questioned. No one answered. Suddenly all the lights flashed on.

"Falco! You're here!" The black cat meowed with excitement.

She was a human-animal also, and had a flamboyant scarlet dress on. The cat was almost as tall as Falcon. The feline ran up to Falcon and hugged him. Falcon pretended not to care, but he was bad at faking.

He looked at the cat with an expression of irritation.

"Surprise! I knew you'd come!" She said joyfully. She kissed him on the beak and he drew away from her.

"I told you not to do that any more!" Falcon snapped. The cat didn't seem offended.

"One wouldn't hurt, would it?" She snapped back playfully.

"Forgetting someone?" Krystal asked as she waved.

"Krystal!" The cat shouted with amazement.

"Since when do you know Krystal?" She turned to Falcon with somewhat of an anger.

"It's a long story-"

"Well you can tell us." She interrupted.

She looked at me.

"Who's this?" She questioned. Falcon was about to talk, but Krystal cut in.

"This is Fox." She stated proudly.

"Well, hi there Fox!" The cat greeted me.

"Hi." I replied with no feeling.

"Oh yeah, my name's Katt, if you didn't know." She reminded.

She started walking down the hallway and into another room.

Krystal walked beside her, laughing and talking. Falcon came up behind me. He didn't say anything, but his expression was of distaste. He lagged behind me as I followed the trail of Katt and Krystal. I stopped to talk to Falcon.

"What was that all about with Katt, huh?" I asked with suspicion.

"I'll tell you later." Falcon advised flatly. Maybe that's why he wasn't as enthusiastic as the rest of us, because he would be expecting this to happen. So, his past relationship with Katt must have been a bad one, right? Or maybe-

"Come on, Fox, Krystal and Katt are dying to talk to you!" Falcon called from in front of me.

I was behind him because I was dazing off. I scampered to catch up to Falcon, and to continue thinking about whether Falcon really had a relation with Katt.
