Bahahaha I lied! :p

Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Honestly I didn't expect to be publishing another chapter so soon, however, with the reviews I couldn't resist! :) So as I've said before please review it helps me with further writing and it warms my heart to hear that you guys like my story. As usual I don't own the Cat Returns!

Cathie arrived home to see that her dad had returned from his business trip to Europe.

"Hey sweetie!" he said when she walked in.

"Hi dad," she mumbled while heading to her room. Stumbling through her door she reached her desk; there she carefully placed Toto, Muta, and Baron.

"Well I guess you can hear and see me. So here I am. I'm Catherine Parker, and this is my room. Um..l'm graduating this year. And I honestly have no idea why I need your help unless you all are going to stop idiotic boys."

The figurines said nothing of course but Baron's emerald eyes glinted as to say we're listening. Cathie looked at Muta and though for a moment.

"Muta you look like a cat I know down at the crossroads. I wonder if you know him," she mused. There was no acknowledgement from the fat glass cat.

"Ok, well as much as I love our one sided conversation I need to finish my chemistry homework before tomorrow." she sat down and realized that it wasn't as frustrating as it seemed. Cathie finished it rather quickly, and afterwards she sat at he window and watched the sunset.

Cat Bureau POV

Muta scrabbled up the stairs to the plaza where the Cat Bureau resided. The stone crow, who resided on a pillar for most of the time, was stretching his wings.

"What's wrong marshmallow? Did the café run out of food and you're starving?"

"Shut it birdbrain, we've got an issue."

"And what is it Moota?"

"I said knock it off ya chicken! I watched a colorful birdbrain follow a girl."

"Can't you tell the difference between a crow and a chicken? Why are you concerned about her?"

"I know this kid. She hates parrots."

"Did you say 'parrots', Muta?" asked a third voice.

"Yeah."

"That is unusual. Parrots are not native to Tokyo nor to Japan for that matter."

"Say fatso did you notice what this parrot looked like?"

"Wha-? I dunno it was blue and green and kinda small for a flying piñata."

Toto thought for a moment then said in alarm, "Baron! That girl is in danger of being dragged to the Bird Kingdom!"

"I beg your pardon, Toto, but would you care to explain?"

"The parrot that lardball described is the daughter of Duke Pazu in the Bird Kingdom. She has been emotionally unhinged since her mother's death. If she's watching the girl, the daughter is thinking of making the girl her mother."

"That's crazy. The girl wouldn't go near a parrot if her life depended on it."

"Muta who is this girl? What do you know about her?" asked Baron.

"Uh. Her name's Cathie. Blond hair and blue eyes," Muta paused and then said, "and she drinks way too much boiled grass for my taste."

"I thought as much?"

"Huh?" Muta and Toto questioned.

"Miss Catherine Parker has the glass blown figurines."

"You mean the very ones Chicky made?"

"Yes the very ones Miss Haru made all those years ago."

"So this girlie does require our help?"

"Quite so, Muta."

Cathie POV

As the sun died and the moon arose from her slumber, Cathie noticed that the headmaster's parrot was staring at her. She made a face at it, and in return she received a squawk.

"Stupid bird," she muttered. Cathie turned her head to find a wild parrot staring at her as well. Th next door parrot was red and this one was green and blue with golden eyes.

"What is this? National Parrot Stare at Cathie Day?"

"You could say something like that."

"Who said that?" Cathie said looking around wildly.

"Quit playing with me please!"

"No one is playing with you Miss Cathie."

"Where are you?"

"I'm right here," said the voice as the parrot flew to her windowsill.

"Did-Did you just talk?!" Cathie exclaimed; her eyes wide.

"Of course I did! Everyone can talk, you just have to listen carefully," said the parrot.

"Uh-ah..."

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Ayaka; daughter of Duke Pazu of the Bird Kingdom."

"Nice to meet you Ayaka," Cathie said still stunned.

"And to you. Now I must go bacK home to help with preparations."

"Wait preparations? For what?"

"Why your marriage to my father of course."

Cathie's scream echoed throughout the house.

"Catherine what is going on?" her mother cried running in.

"Something startled me, that's all," Cathie said quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah a bird flew into the window."

"Is it ok?"

"Yeah it flew off dazed."

"Ok, well your father and I are downstairs if you need anything."

"K."

"Potassium to you too dear."

The second her mother left Cathie ran to her three figurines. Muta's eyes were sparkling with amusement.

"Muta wipe that smirk off your face or no more tuna sandwiches for you," The glint of humor gone.

"Baron, Toto, and Muta I need your help!"

Cat Bureau POV

"There is our queue. Toto!" called Baron as he leapt onto Toto's back while Muta took off running.

"Did you hear her? She threatened to stop giving me food!" complained Muta.

"Hurry up lardball or else it will be too late and you definitely won't be getting food from her," called Toto from above.

"Shut it birdbrain!"

Cathie POV

She was in hysterics:

"I can't marry a bird!"

"I'm too young to marry!"

"I hate parrots!"

"Who the hell decided that I'm going to marry that old geezer?!"

"Pardon my interruption, however, is this the room of a Miss Catherine Parker?" asked a voice.

Cathie turned around, expecting another parrot, but found the real Baron.

"Oh jeez," she said. She thought to herself if that's the Baron then he's really cute! That was her last thought before blacking out.

A/N:

Ok for those who aren't obsessed with the Periodic Table of Elements and didn't get the "'K.' 'Potassium to you too dear.'" part, "K" is the symbol for potassium. :) Yeah I know I have lame chemistry jokes...Anyways please review and see you next time! :D
