The Vampire's Apprentice

"I suppose we could make some time tomorrow evening, if that will suffice," Mrs. Mooney said slowly. "What time?"
"Will there be food?" JP asked hopefully.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Does around nine sound alright?" She asked.

 

[Treasure]

"It's a little late for getting the kids into bed," she hedged unhappily. "Could we do eight instead?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"That's generally about the time he gets up." She replied. "You can try for eight thirty, if you like."

 

[Treasure]

Mrs. Mooney frowned, clearly a bit confused by the phrase, "That's when he gets up," but she only nodded. "Alright. Eight-thirty tomorrow evening. Should I, er, bring anything?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"He works at night," Kitty explained. "You don't have to bring anything if you don't feel up to it."

 

[Treasure]

"I'll bring a treat," Mrs. Mooney said shortly. "Is there anything else?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"I don't believe so...." Kitty turned to leave. "If you're looking to garden, Mrs. Pugglesworth does a lot of that. I'll be going now."

 

[Treasure]

"Bye! See you tomorrow!" the twins called, waving happily.

On the porch, Norville had nearly fallen out of his chair and woken himself up. He sat looking around groggily.

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty glanced at him on her way out. "Oh, hello, Norville." She waved.

 

[Treasure]

Norville gave her a confused wave. "Hey... when did you get here?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Few minutes ago." She said. "I didn't want to wake you."

 

[Treasure]

"I wasn't sleeping, just restin' my eyes," Norville said groggily, rubbing his eyes. "Nice seein' ya, I think."

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Yeah, it is. I've gotta get back before Sam starts whinin' so I'll see ya 'round."

 

[Treasure]

"Later, Kitty Cat," he waved, still confused.

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty waved back and went home again. Give it a couple hours and she'll have a very... colorful face and hands.

 

[Treasure]

Sam was waiting eagerly on the porch, butt wiggling from excitement. She was home! His human was home!

 

[KenżaSheep]

She smiled, seeing him. "C'mon, Sam." she said, patting his head and opening the door. "You and I are going to do some decorating!"

 

[Treasure]

Sam gruff ed and happily followed Kitty from room to room, watching her intently. He stayed out of the way, but he was clearly curious about what she was doing. Eventually, he fell asleep on the rug.

Clancy rose at twilight and went straight to the shower. He came out in only a towel around his middle, his hair sticking up every which direction. "Miss Kitty!" he called. "Have you seen my cellular phone?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Hm?" Kitty looked up at his call, brushing a streak of red gel off her nose. Her thumb only replaced it with a green one. "Is it on your desk upstairs?" She called back.
