Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: HI GUYS! I LOVE YOU ALL! HI, HI, HI, HI, HI, HI! HIIIIIIII! HI! Want to know the truth? Ok, so I kind of drank A LOT of apple cider last night. And if you know me well enough, you know I get a little messed up when I drink it… HI! HI! HI! I LIKE CAKE! Ok, so, I have a few things I gots to tell you.

First off, HI! Second, this prompt was really stretched to fit the bill. So, before I get complaints in the reviews, I'm well aware Cerise is a wolf. NO, REVIEWS NO! DON'T DO THAT! NO! STOP! NO! Ah, whatever. Anyways, moving on.

KCL! HI!

Prompt 16: Terrier

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, Kitty, you do."

"But… you know how bad cats and dogs hate each other… it's not going to end well."

"You're the one who sent a deer out for her to chase and completely humiliate herself."

"If you put it like that…"

Kitty and Alistair were standing in a hallway. Down said hallway stood Cerise at her locker, keeping her head as tight on her head as possible. Kitty was shuddering in fear as she watched the wolf in hiding.

"Please? Can't you come with me?" Kitty pleaded.

Alistair sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry Kitty, but this is something you have to do. I'll be with you, but you need to handle this on your own. Besides, you told me you wanted to start getting along with others. I felt this was the best way to start."

Kitty took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok…" she said. She took a step forward and approached Cerise. She still shook in fear, but she knew Alistair would be there for her after this was over.

Cerise shut her locker as Kitty approached. The wolf girl tensed and stared at Kitty. Once she stopped moving, neither one said or did anything for a while. They continued to look at each other, each too afraid to say anything to the other. However, Kitty knew she had to be the first one to speak.

"I'm sorry," she said quietly.

Cerise blinked. She hadn't expect that. Kitty was one to blackmail over personal gain and make others feel hurt and useless. Being apologetic… wasn't what she expected.

Kitty continued, "I'm sorry for hurting you. I know that you have that huge secret and you don't want it to hurt you or your family. I treated it as a joke, something to prank over. In reality… I think it was mostly my fear of you. I'm a cat, after all. I guess it got to my head and I thought I had an opportunity to get back at dogs without getting hurt. But I understand now that I was hurting you… and I'm sorry."

Cerise blinked again. Finally, she said, "I forgive you." Kitty smiled weakly, but Cerise wasn't quite done. "However, you have to promise you won't tell anyone. Please," she asked. Kitty nodded and zipped her lips. Cerise sighed in relief, nodded, and left.

Kitty smiled after her as Alistair approached her from behind. "Did it end well? I couldn't hear how it went since I was far behind you," he said.

Kitty turned and smiled at him. "I think it did. We might be a little distanced at first, but maybe we'll warm up to each other after a while," she said.

Alistair grinned. "I told you it would all work out," he said to her. Kitty pulled him in for a kiss.

"I'm glad you talked me into it," she said when they broke apart. "Now I feel as though… I can be more than what my subconscious wants me to be."

BN: For once, I ain't crying. Maybe it's because of the lack of Kittystair moments. Eh, that will return next chapter. I mostly wanted to portray Kitty getting over the fact she feels evil. I had Alistair convince her to start by apologizing to those she tormented, Cerise being at the top of the list. I'm well aware the prompt wasn't really fulfilled, but it was the close I could get, ok? I think this is my worse chapter yet, but hey, at least I know what's at the bottom, right?

Also, that loop idea? It's looking more and more like it'll be a reality. Once I get a bit farther on this fic and my other two fics, I'll post the first chapter. If you have any suggestions in what you want to see, feel free to PM me or review on this story somewhere. Till next time, I need some cider.

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know in a review! Or don't! Either works!
