Sophie smiled as the cats came racing down the hall. She glanced at Tai when he spoke and gingerly kissed his cheek. "I hope so.. A future without you or the cats isn't one I want to live in.." She murmured softly, gazing into his gorgeous eyes. She lightly took his hands and led him over to the table so they could eat their own dinner, now that the cats were fed.

Derek stopped in his tracks briefly when the question reached his ears. The Aquarium was like a date..? No way! It was just him showing the other cat a place that meant something to gim, like the pipe Pedro had taken him to. But when he thought about, Pedro had a point. Did he like Pedro..like that? "~That wasn't a date, Pedro. We're friends. We were just hanging out.~" He mewed, then continued down the hall to his food bowl.
