Grace was sitting on her balcony in the moon light taking in the crickets chirping, the leaves rusltling, the moon illuminating the lake down in the valley. The lake looked as it was made of glass, it was clear and full of life. She often ventured to the lake to relax and get away from the city life, she wondered how long until the city reached the lake and built right over it. She got up and head back into her twentieth floor penthouse, she was a record agent who had much luck in signing the various bands. In college she took a course on society and found that the most popular type of music were techno, various types of rock and rap. She had a meeting in the early morning with a new band seeking a record deal. She walked to her room, her tail swishing lightly as she opened her bed room door. She opened her dresser and took our a clean pair of lingerie panties, and a white tank top shirt, then she headed to the bathroom and turned the shower on, adjusting the water until it was a comfortable temperature. She took her suit shirt off and then her black pants and stretched. She looked into the mirror and intoned own eyes. She had her mothers eyes, she suddenly remembered her mother, a beautiful leopardess with light lavender eyes, her black hair with purple streaks, she had been the most beautiful leopardess in the city. She remembered her mother laying in bed calling for her "Grace, grace, grace....." she came running to her mothers side, she cupped her hands and said "I love you" she passed away seconds later. Grace's eyes filled with tears looking at her mothers deceased body and shaking her trying to wake her up "Mommy please wake up!" she sunk to her knees as she accepted she would never awake again. A week later she attended her funeral and burial ceremony crying non stop through both, her relatives tried to comfort her to no avail. She had been taken in by her aunt and uncle two wolf/leopard hybrids. She had been given everything she asked for, which was very little. Grace closed her eyes as they filled with tears and shook her head trying to get rid of the memories and took a deep breath calming down. She looked away from the mirror and finished getting undressed and stepped into the shower closing the curtains behind her. She murred as the warm water washed over her fur and down her body, she grabbed the pouf off the hanger on the wall and put some body wash on it and ran it across her fur. She scrubbed to get the soap deep in her fur, then stepped back under the water washing off. She then grabbed the shampoo and put a generous amount on her paw before massaging it into her scalp. She rinsed her hair out and turned the shower off, stepped out and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. She dried her self off and slipped into her sleeping clothes she had gotten earlier. She laid in bed, pulled the comforter over her and slowly drifted into deep sleep. She was dreaming about a handsome tiger, he had a medium build, was around six feet tall and had the most beautiful eyes she'd ever seen. There was a sudden beeping in her dream such as one you'd find on an alarm clock, she awoke from the dream and looked at the clock. It read seven AM, only three hours until the meeting. She climbed out of bed, stretched murring ad shuffled out of the bedroom toward the kitchen. She opened the freezer and took out some frozen sausages and bacon, then moved to the fridge taking out a couple eggs before taking a pan and putting it on the stove and another pan on the next burner. She cracked the eggs into one pan and three sausages into the other. She grabbed a plate from the cabinet set it next to the stove and put the egs on it once they became over easy, the the sausage and she put the bacon in the pan that had contained the eggs and cooked it for a few minutes until it was crispy and put it in the plate with the eggs and sausage, she turned the burner off and grabbed a fork from the draw and sat down at the table and took a good amount of one of the eggs in one fork full into her mouth. She swapped the eggs and ate a sausage or two. She finished in about 5 minutes then put the plate and fork Into the dish washer, the headed to the bathroom to get dressed. She opened her dresser and took out her usual suit and got changed, then headed to the next room over, her office. Two hours left she thought to herself, so she turned on her computer and went on the internet. She browsed through a clothing stores website seeing if they had a new suit she could buy. One hour left, she had finished shopping and went to check her email. She got an email with the subject "Find love tonight" she had thought it was junk mail until she opened it. The email had a fancy border and background with various males and females, she scrolled down and her heart skipped a beat as she saw the tiger from he dream. The intercom buzzed on her desk, she pressed the talk button "Yes what is it?" she said into the speaker. A voice

From 9 floors below replied "The band is here." she sighed "send them up." she exited her email as the band came walking in the door, she sat up in her chair "Welcome, please take a seat" the band members sat in seats in front of the desk. A male husky, female lion, male wolf and male fox. "Listen I like you guys so your going to LA to get your first album recorded" the band mates cheered and high fives each-other "but you only get one chance at this" they became a little more serious. A Half hour after the meeting began it ended, as the last member of the band walked out the door she got back into her email again and opened the email she was in and scrolled down to the bottom. In bold letters it said click here, she clicked and the Internet browser opened to a page of one male tiger the one from her dream. The bage read "He can be yours all you have to do is believe and click below" she moved down the page and clicked the link, the page went to a white screen with black text that ready "He will be yours tonight, just believe" she shook her head thinking he wouldn't be here tonight or ever, all she could think about was the tiger...
