A group of chatting girls crowded down the stairs all at the sound of the mailbox bell. Des lead them, running, Jill Josie, Tiara, Tiri, and Daryn all bunched together as Des began passing out mail. Gradually, the boys and Adrian wandered downstairs, not really caring. Adrian had never gotten anymail before, but when Des called out her name, Adrian looked for any sign in Des' eyes for whom it was from. Des gave Adrian a serious look, not tilting her head up, but her eyes looking at Jill. One by one, everyone turned to Adrian as she stood there, then hesitantly walked down the stairs, the girls forming a path, and took the letter. Des bit her lip. "Come talk to me later..." She muttered, letting a sorrowful Adrian dash up the stairs. Everything went back to normal.

Almost as soon as everything settled down, A litle orange creature popped up in front of Adrian. Three tails, tipped with sharp points like that of a scorpions, waved in the air behind the orrange tabby cat. At first look, it would have seemed an innocent little cat, if not an odd one for looks. But, on closer inspection, one would see the fact the cat's face never twisted out of what looked like an angry glare that he shared with the world. Dale looked up at Adrian, head tipped precariously to the side. "What's all the commotion about me amiga?"

"It's just a letter, Dale... Nothing special..." Adrian said... but like she was telling herself that everything was alright.

Dale sat down in front of her, still in his cat form. "What is it then?"

"It's a letter from the Army. I know they stopped because of Mutt and I'm greatful... but it's either kill me or take me back." Adrian's eyes filled with tears. "I don't want to go back.."

Dale seemed to settle down. "Okay...good." Dale looked at the letter, tipping his head. "I saw I torch the sucker. Then you have an excuse. 'The evil cat that roams the halls torched it before i could read it.'"
