When Coco was out of the shop she turned on her bike and looked back at them. "Thanks again Alex." She smirked before riding off to gather her brothers tools. Upon reaching the spot where the tools were she turned off the bike and put down the stand and knelt to gather the tools and put them back in their case. She sighed and sat there for a while, knowing she get scolded for taking her twin's tools without asking as she wasn't ready to face the music.

Liam was the first to wake up. He made his way to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. "ALEX! You son of a banshee!!!!! You ruined my pretty face!" He yelled, looking at his black eye and nose that had been broken... again. Alex grunted as he got up, rubbing his head. "You asked for it getting in my face like that." He muttered, grabbing a block of cheese from the fridge and heading out. He needed to get another car before they planned anything else.

Coco laid on the soft grass beside her bike and stared at the stars. "I don't wanna deal with an angry cat..." She muttered to herself and sighed softly under her breath, shifting into her cat form she jumped up onto the seat of the bike and curled up on it.

Alex nibbled on the cheese and walked past Coco, curled up on her bike. He shook his head, but didn't say anything. It wasn't too far down the street that he spied a truck and he was more than happy to find out it was open with the keys in it, plus it wasn't planted by the police. He slid into the driver's seat and gently started the engine and drove back to the shop.

Liam sighed now that he was alone. He was still angry about his face, but he'd just have to deal with it. "He took the cheese." He muttered, looking in the fridge for something to eat.

Collenne fell asleep on her bike seat. Rusty by now was soo tired that he just crashed on the couch.

~~The Next Morning~~
Coco was still a cat curled up in a cage now since she never went home nor shifted back into her neko form. The sound of other cats and a few dogs woke her up. Her eyes went wide and she mewed in a scared tone. 'No! Oh my god I'm so dead~!'

Rusty slowly opened his eyes when the sun came in through the window. "Nngh Coco~ Close the blinds..." His ears twitched when there wasn't an answer. "Collenne?" He stood and searched the house before going outside. "Oh no..." Rusty whispered to himself.

Alex drove past where Coco had been curled up the night before, but all he saw was her bike. He muttered something under his breath and loaded the bike up into the back of the truck, sniffing the air. He caught the scent of cats and dogs and Coco and headed straight for the pound. He walked through their selection of cats and smiled when he got to Coco. "I'll take this one." He called to the volunteer working. Alex had managed to hide his tail and ears so he looked... normal. The girl nodded and carefully pulled Coco out of her cage and handed her to Alex who smiled delightedly. "You owe me." He whispered into her ear, stroking her head.

Coco's ear fell back against her head when she saw what looked like Alex. She tilted her head a little and mewed when the girl picked her up, she was in a little bit of pain from the metal and the bars. Coco mewed at him in agreement. She would surely pay him back for saving her tail, quite literally. Coco licked his cheek.

Alex smiled his first genuine smile in years, considering the lick a kiss. As soon as the paper work was filled out and the fine paid, Alex went out to the truck still holding on to Coco. He gently set her in the passenger seat and started the truck up. "Your bike is in the back, but I figured if you wanted to go straight home it would be better for you to show up in a truck with your bike in the back. Your other option is to take my offer and go get breakfast." He said, not looking at her as he flipped through radio stations and pulled out of the pound's parking lot.

When he placed her in the passenger seat she hesitated before shifting back, no one would see her though. She bit her tongue due the pain from being in the tiny cage aalll night and slipped on her seat belt. "I like your offer better." Collenne's tail wrapped itself around her waist. "How exactly were you thinking of me paying you back for saving my tail...?" She asked, gazing out of the window.

Alex grunted before driving towards town. He ignored her question on purpose until they were in Waffle House and had ordered food. Alex ordered waffles with eggs, bacon, and toast and a large glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee. His eyes settled on Coco's before he said, "Let's just say you'll know when the time comes, eh?" He knew that wasn't the best answer, but it was the only one he could give her.

She smirked lightly and ordered pretty much the same thing as Alex did just because it was something she got every morning. Collenne blinked a few times and gave a small uneasy nod.

Alex laughed and shook his head. "Don't worry. It won't be too bad, I promise." He said, sipping his black coffee carefully before following it with a sip of orange juice. "So... what do you like to do on the weekends?" He asked, just trying not to have an extremely awkward silence.

She nodded. "Alright." Taking a drink of her OJ she paused on the thought. "Um..." Her mind froze, no one ever asked her that before. "I'm not sure actually.. The weekends are no different than the weekday..." Which meant she just acted like it was just another day to be sneaky.

Alex laughed and shook his head. "Every day is a Saturday." He said, playing with a strip of paper. Their food was set before them and Alex instantly dug in, stuffing his face with food.

Liam hadn't seen Alex since last night so he took it as an opportunity to visit Rusty. It didn't take him long to get to the front porch.He carefully knocked on the door and waited on an answer.

Coco sniffed the food and giggled a little before eating for breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rusty jumped and went to open the door. "Oh, good morning Liam." He said with a welcoming smile and offered for him to come into his home since he was lonely and he liked spending time with Liam even though he hardly knew him.

Alex didn't take long to finish his food and was soon leaned back in his seat, rubbing his happy tummy.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________

Liam smiled and gently stepped into the house. "Good morning, Rusty." He said, a big smile on his face. Then he looked serious. "You haven't seen my brother have you?" He asked, a worried look on his face. From the smell of it, Coco wasn't there and hadn't been there for a while.

Rusty shook his head. "Have you seen Collenne?" He asked, worried.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coco smirked lightly and finished her plate she didn't quite get as much as Alex had.

Liam had a wide smile on his face. "Hm, both of them missing at the same time? Someone went on a secret date." He said in the happiest voice.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________

Alex smiled at Coco after paying the check and said, "So, I suppose I should be getting you home now?" It wasn't supposed to be a question, but it came out that way.

Collenne blinked and twirled her thumbs. "I suppose..." She answered the not-to-be-question. She would hear about this from he twin when she got home but she couldn't keep avoiding him..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Or on a I rescue mission..." Rusty thought a loud before sitting in his spot on the couch. Yes he was worried about his sister but he was also slightly irritated that she never came home.. He smiled at Liam at the idea of 'going on secret date.'

Alex shrugged and grunted as he got up from the table. "Let's go." He said, heading out for the truck.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____

Liam smiled and shook his head. "Secret date..." He said huskily, holding his face a mere inch from Rusty's.

Rusty's ears twitched and he glanced at Liam, kissing him since he well liked him and he was reeaally close. He pulled away about as quickly as he planted one on him and grinned innocently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coco followed him quickly.

Alex barely waited until Coco was in the truck before he started driving back towards Coco's house. Where he found a surprising scene...
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________

Liam smiled and kissed Rusty on the lips passionately. The kiss must have lasted quite a while because the next thing he heard was. "See? You're a man-whore Liam."

Coco walked up behind him and covered her eyes quickly. "Oh my god~!" It surprised her, so that's what she always did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rusty blushed a beat red then he glanced over at the other two and only blushed mooorre and within second *poof* cat-form. He mewed, still kinda blushing.

Alex smirked at the angry look that was on Liam's face then he looked down at Rusty who was now a cat. "But it's great that you like Rusty."

Liam smiled and said, "Like you like Coco?" Alex turned red and clenched his fist. "I do not like her!" He snapped at Liam who just smiled and shook his head. "Alex and Coco sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-" He was cut off by his brother tackling him to the floor. "Shut up..." He hissed before walking back outside and unloading Coco's bike from the back of the truck. Liam smiled and looked at Coco. "He likes you...." He said with the widest and happiest grin.

Rusty mewed at Alex. He jumped up onto the counter above the couch when Alex tackled his brother. Collenne turned pink and had a facepalm moment. 'Noooo he does not....' She thought to herself before going outside and sitting in one of the chairs on the front porch. Her limbs were still a little sore but she could bare it enough to ignore it.
