Ah sunlight. It's finally nice to have a day off. My human is fine, since that one incident with the death regal-cat had also somehow injured him, No one is bothering me, and sunlight is streaming through the window. A perfect day indeed. I don't know how this day can be ruined but please let it not happen! Okay so let's roll over my schedule for the day.

"SUN-CAT! QUICKLY THERE'S A VISTOR HERE TO SEE YOU!" Oh COME ON! I slowly turned around flicking my tail angrily at the person that dares disturb my day.

"They better be important for you to come and get me Blaze-cat. I was under the impression that you hated me and never wanted to be seen with me." Blaze-cat ran into the room and jumped on my ledge. I leapt up angrily and hissed as he came closer. Blaze-cat's fur puffed up immediately.

"Sorry! Sorry! She is important!" I stopped hissing, turning into a low throaty rumble. She? Which girl-kitty would come to see me? After all everyone knows how I am.

"It's the prince's cat." Why would she come here unless she had something to tell us? Maybe a mission? I jumped down from my ledge. Don't worry I'll come to you and then I'll continue my sun bathing.

"Stop laminating and lets go!" I hissed at Blaze cat and started running down the halls. Blaze-cat was right next me keeping up with long clumsy strides.

"Shut up! You don't understand how important it is for a cat like me to get my daily sunlight!" Blaze-cat's tail started puffing up.

"Don't yell at me about sun bathing!" I twitched my whiskers and yowled at him.

"Oh like you would know anything about what sun bathing!" Blaze-cat and I bickered about how sunlight "actually" bleaches your fur, and about how it's still important until we reached the garden where the prince's cat was. Sure enough you could tell she was of higher breed. Soft cream fur softly blended into caramel brown at her small and delicate paws, long graceful tail, and saucer ears. Her face was also that bright brown marred only by her pink nose and large beautiful sky blue eyes. Actually one of her eyes is green. One Blue, and one green? That's exactly like my eyes.

"Good morning Sun-cat. I've come to request your assistance." I blinked and sat on my hunches. Blaze-cat sat down beside me languidly residing on the grass beneath the tall tree that dropped the pretty pink flowers.

"What can I do for you ma'am." What I really wanted to ask was why the Prince's cat would come here and ask for my assistance. After all I am just a lowly cat.

"I have come to ask for your escort to a formal meeting with this towns regal cats." Regal cats, the high, mighty, and elite. Who would want to ever be in league with them? Their just snotty purebreeds who like to throw it in other cats faces. They were owned by rich humans who had the money to pay for them, and keep them in comfort. They knew nothing of the plights of us lower and middle class cats yet they pretend as if their problems are the most pressing thing of the year. That's why I mostly avoid the politics of the higher ups.

"There are other cats here better suited to be your body guard for the night why choose me?" Specifically why not choose Judge-cat I would think him better for you anyway. She lowered her head for a second her tail brushing the purple flowers that surrounded the tree.

"It must be you. You're the only one that can do this for me." Whoa whoa hold on why are speaking like this? Don't tell me a pure breed like you has a crush on me! That would be very interesting if not for the fact that oh I Don't know I'M LIKE THIS!

I guess...I can't really hide this anymore. You see I was raised on the streets as a stray by my mother to a small litter of three. A childhood accident turned deadly and now there's no way I can mate. It's why most girl-kitties stay away from me and why the boy cats don't feel the need to protect themselves and territory from me. It's saddening but I reconciled with that fact a long time ago. Back to the present I still have this problem to deal with. Well her argument had to mean something and seeing as how she was a regal cat herself I didn't really have a choice. I twitched my whiskers.

"Alright then. I shall escort you to the meeting this night." The Prince's cat beamed.

"Thank you for this sir." I dipped my head at her.

"Not at all." She dipped her head and brushed past me. Her fur was really soft and she smelled amazing.

"Don't get all hot headed just cause some purebred is all kitten-eyed for you." I whipped around and hissed at Blaze-cat.

"Shut up!"

"There you are you retarded cat!" Uh..oh. My human came running towards me. He didn't look to be in the best mood. Blaze-cat that traitor already scampered off somewhere. Next time I see him I'll make sure to give him a world of hurt!...If I'm not seriously injured myself. I cowered close to the tree and tried to make myself as small as possible.

"You were supposed to wake me up hours ago so I could get ready! And what happens? I over sleep, unable to get breakfast and almost starved! I was so hungry I was thinking about eating horse ears!" That's not my fault! It's yours for being so stupid to not wake yourself up!

"…Don't give me that condescending look!" I'm done for!

"Sun leave him be." Oh my gosh. I thought I really was going to be killed this time. The human in all black came just in time. He was even holding Judge-cat! Judge-cat jumped down and trotted towards me. I rubbed my head against his and purred my thanks. He twitched his ear silently saying you're welcome.

"They're almost like us." I looked up at the two humans. My human still seemed angry and tense. He hates it when he's like that going on about something called "wrinkles".

"They're nothing like us." I rubbed my head against my human's leg remarking him. Maybe he'll calm down if I do this.

"He's saying sorry"

"I don't care!" I rubbed and purred, and purred rubbed for what seemed like minutes. Finally he picked me up. I snuggled close to him.

"Okay I forgive you just this once…Don't let it happen again!" I meowed my promise. I heard another meow though. It was so delicate, and soft. I turned to look and saw that the Prince's cat was waiting for me.

"What's the prince's cat doing here?" Judge-cat asked. I meowed down at him

"She came looking for escort to the meeting tonight" Judge-cat tilted his head

"Meeting? You mean between the regal cats?" I purred as my human hit the right spot in my ear. Judge-cat's human picked him up and started petting him. I'm sure Judge-cats deep rumbling purr could be heard from the rooftops.

"See?"

"…Just drop it."

"Yes that one. Ooooohhh that's just puuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrfect~"

"You're so spoiled stupid cat." I just meowed.

"I'm coming with you then. I can't leave you alone after the last incident." I licked my human's face.

"Alright Judge-cat~"

"..."

"Don't stare at me like that!"

"Your human seemed very nice" I trotted alongside the Prince's cat, whose name is Ceria by the way. It was already late into the evening with the sky turning a pink, purple and soft yellow.

"Yea he is I guard his room, and he gives me a place to sleep at night, and food. It's a nice set up and he hates to admit but he needs me." Ceria's twitching whiskers gave away her laughter.

"I'm sure. Living in the palace you're always surrounded by luxury. You should come and visit more often." I hopped up onto the square fountain and sat down waiting for her to join me. I guess it would be cool to see the Palace from the inside. Not to mention the fact that I had always seen the tall building but only from the outside.

"Maybe I will. I'll make sure to give you fair warning though" Ceria purred

"I would enjoy that." We sat in silence for a while. The meeting wouldn't start until night fall so we had decided to walk around until then.

"Say…Do you remember me at all?" Remember? Why would I? Today is the first day we've meet in person. Sure she had eyes like mine but we were remarkably different. A stray and a purebred are on totally different leagues.

"…I guess not…Sun-cat…I'm your litter mate." ?!

"L-litter mate?!...How?" How is it possible for a simple stray cat like me to be the litter mate to a purebred?! I mean sure her eyes are just like mine, and I kind of have that whole darker on the edges look to me but how?

"Our father had traces of tabby. You ended up getting that." Oh.

"So our mother." She flicked her tail.

"Yes. She was a purebred." Huh. Well…I'm related to a regal cat. How nice. Wait a second.

"Is this why you called me to be your escort?"

"Yes. I wanted to meet you again." I twitched my whiskers.

"Thank you I guess." Ceria yawned and stretched out on the fountain. I stretched out beside her enjoying the splashing of water behind me and the fading sunlight. It was already getting quite dark. I could finally see the moon.

"How has life been for you?"

"Hard, saddening, but that's life isn't it?" Ceria pressed her side against me.

"I guess so. But life always gets better." I ran my tongue over her ear.

"I suppose."
