New Plans
As the two mothers walked away to discuss the arrangements for Daisy to leave with her mouse girlfriend and her mother Daisy spoke softly to the sacred, shivering mouse in her lap."It may not mean anything to you right now Sisy, but I'm sorry. I ran and I left you, there's no excuse for what I did. It was stupid and I scared you for nothing. I guess for a few minutes I turned into my dad. Scared, arrogant, foolish, everything he is I became for a little bit. The only reason I can give for it is that I was trying to figure out a way to be with you Sisy. I couldn't stand the thought of being away from you for weeks or months at a time. I can barely stand being apart from you for a day Sisy.The small mouse pulled her face aways from the moose. She looked up,her red, blood shot, puffy eyes still filled with tears as she spoke., "Why? Why didn't you tell me? How do I know you're not just saying this?" Tears rolled down the wet, matted, velvety fur of her cheeks as she blinked. "How do I..." She trailed off as she was unable to continue to look at her lover,"I didn't tell you because I was stupid, I could tell you a hundred different reasons but it all comes back to that Sisy, I was stupid. I was an asshole for taking off like that... I panicked and did the most ignorant thing I could possibly do. I know you're upset about it, and probably mad as hell at me too. You should be, hell I am and I'm the idiot that did it. I let everything else scare me into doing the one thing I can never forgive myself for Sisy, I took off like a jackass and left you behind. But that will never happen again, I know you probably don't trust me on that, I understand if you don't. But you're not getting rid of me that easy mousey, you're stuck with me, maybe more than you can stand." Daisy stroked her girlfriends cheek with her paw, looking deeply into her eyes as she spoke. "You won't be getting away from me very easy either Sisy, I'm yours, and like it or not you're stuck with it. So what the fuck do we do now? How can I possibly undo what I fucked up?""How do I know they won't take you away from me?" She looked up at the moose, her tear filled brown eyes looked into her lover's emerald orbs, "I don't want... I don't want to do it without you. I don't know if I can to it without you.""Sweet cheeks you don't have to even try, I'm going with you and Lilly when you leave the island. I will need to go
home, at least long enough ti pack my shit and load it up , but I am going with you Sisy. Nothing or no one can stop me. My mom is off with Lilly taking care of the consent needed to get me on the plane right now. Once we get where ever we're going, I'll look into emancipating myself if that's what I need to do to make damn sure no one can take me away from you ever again. I love you Sisy, and you are the only thing that matters to me now." She took the small mouse's face in her paws, stroking her cheeks with her thumbs as she continued, "I will not leave you again Sisy, I only hope you'll let me prove that."Cecily pulled her face away from the moose's tender grasp. "You're going to leave me to get your things. You're going to go home and see everything and stay there. Stay with all your friends and forget about me." She paused for a moment before she turned her back to the moose and sat in her lap as she had so many times in the past few days. "I don't blame you. Who would want to stay with me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared you'll leave me, scared to let you love me, to even do what I want to with you... with anyone. I'm scared to be alone, but people scare me too. I'm scared of what I could do, I'm scared I might hurt you... or someone else... again. I'm more trouble than I'm worth. And the only one's I can count on are those as broken as I am." She led out a quivering sight and rested her face n her own paws as she finished."Bull shit Sisy, you may be scared of alot of things but until I did something stupid you were not scared of me, or of letting me love you. Damn it girl, I fucked up but that doesn't mean you have to give up so damn easy on what you want. If you want something you have to go for it, even if it scares you. Hell when I thought about you for more than five seconds as a fuck toy you scared the living shit out of me. I'm still terrified of hurting you when we... do stuff. But you're the one I fell in love with and you're the one I want to be with. I want to be with you so damn bad I'm leaving my home, my family, my friends, all of it gets left behind to be with the one person that I love more than anything on this planet. Believe me, right now I'm more scared than you are. I have no idea where the hell I'm going or what the hell I'll do when I get there. The only thing I do know is the only thing that really matters. That I'll be with you, what ever else comes at us we'll deal with it together Sisy." As she spoke another thought crossed her mind, causing her to grin to herself as she let it play out in her head. "Sisy, I have an idea," the moose girl said as she put her thought into words. "You're afraid that I'll go home and stay there without you, why don't I ask Lilly if you can go with me. Then you'll see
that I have no intentions of staying there. Besides you can help me pack my shit and get out of there even sooner, what do ya say sweet lips, you think she'd go for it?"Cecily leaned back against Daisy's chest and looked up at her. "remember what she did when you only wanted to take me out to the island for the day? You're going to ask her to let us go out for days, thousands of miles away. What will she do to us for that?"Snickering at the question, and the expression on her girlfriends face Daisy answered, "I have no idea, with her I don't even want to try and guess. But if it will keep you from being scared that I'll leave you behind again it's worth it, for you Sisy."She looked down and began to fidget with the tuft of fur at the end of her tail. "And what if you do want to stay once you get back home? What would I do then? I want to be with you, but I want you to be happy. I know what it's like to be taken away from everything, and I don't want to do that... not to you.""Sisy, you hard headed little pip squeak, you're not taking me from anything. I'm the one leaving it behind for you, because I want to, not because anyone is making me do anything. My mom always said I was like a piece of chain, and trying to make me do anything was like trying to push it up a hill. You ever try pushing a chain Sisy?" the moose asked with an odd little grin on her muzzle.After a moment of silence Daisy the little mouse's body jiggle in her lap. "Daisy, " she stifled a giggle, "that's stupid." She looked back up at her girlfriend and said, "Hank would fix it so I could push the chain if I wanted to. And I think I could push you , if i wanted to, right now. What scares me is once you see it all again, everything you are leaving. for the past two weeks it has been a distant shadow in your mind. All you have is right here, right now. everything else has fallen apart for you, right in front of your eyes. And Lilly and I are the only thing that looks solid. Everything you left behind when you came on this cruise is still there, waiting for you. And you think you can leave it now, but leaving is harder when everything is in reach. You have friends and lovers I am sure. you have a place in the word that you made for yourself that only you can fill. And you're going to walk away from all that into a new life, with an uncertain future, nothing but my family to lean on, one one but me... You'll have to start all over after years of having it all in your paws. Can
you really do that? Just to be with me? Are you sure you're not panicking again and still running from things that scare you, running from your father?""Yesterday, if you had asked me that I would have said maybe I was. But today...right here, right now, I know without a doubt Sisy that the answer is no. I'm not running from my father, or from anything at all. I'm scared yes, scared that I'll fuck up again and end up hurting you again in some way. Scared that one day I'll hurt you too much for you to take a chance on me, or anyone ever again. Scared that I may screw up in any one of a hundred different ways. I'm not panicking about anything except being away from the girl I love with all my heart. Can I really do this, just to be with you? Sisy that's the one thing I am sure of, that I can do this, that I want to do this, for you, for us." Daisy fell silent for a few moments. waiting as her mouse girlfriend thought about the things she said before she asked, "Soo, trail mix, are you done trying to talk me out of it yet? Ready to accept that this is what I want, to be with you and to not leave you?""I... I guess." She sighed deeply as she pulled the moose's arms around her waist, "And I guess we can see if Lilly will let me go with you. I would really like that. I just hope it's not hard to hide a moose body when she's done with you.""I guess we'll just have to find out, now where did our mothers get off too?" the moose herm said, wrapping the small mouse in her arms as she stood up to go find Lilly and her mother.
As the door the the hut closed behind them Lilly looked at the Moose woman, "Okay Ricky, Before we get started on setting things up, I have a sawback that says they want to go together." She held up a ten dollar bill. "Or should we just plan for that now?"Looking at the liger Raquel grinned as she replied. "I'm sorry, I guess I missed it when I looked in a mirror last. But I don't remember seeing the word sucker written on my forehead. After the way those two girls have been the last few days to even think that they wouldn't want to go together would take one stupid fool... I bet we can get Arnold to take that bet," she added laughing at the jest.The feline woman, looked at the moose matron, "Well then, should I put them through the ringer when they
do ask? I'm a little iffy on it today, I fucked up this time. I thought Sisy triggered the panic alarm when either you or Debbie showed up. I didn't think Arnold would have followed you out." The liger dropped the to floor and leaned against the couch, "I still can't believe how fast your guy caved. That seemed too easy." She then pulled a small backpack to pull out a laptop and portable printer."In all honesty, neither can I Lilly. But I'm not fool enough to fall for his shit if he is up to anything. I'll be watching him like a hawk from now until I know my daughter is safely out of his reach. The shit he's pulled on this cruise has convinced me there is something more bothering him than what he lets on. But that's my problem to deal with. Now, what do you need to get my girl set up to get away from here and all this mess?", the moose matron asked as she sat down on the couch near the liger.As the few sheets of paper ran through the portable printer, Lilly answered, "I need her full name, social, birth date. You know, the usual identity theft materials. She will need a photo I.D. or passport." she handed the paper up to Raquel, "Fill these out and sign them, Alex left me her notary seal and stamp just incase I needed it. Sometimes I wonder if she is psychic or just expects me to do something stupid."Raquel took the papers from her and pulled a pen from the small clutch she carried with her, filling out the required information quickly before handing them back to the woman seated in the floor. "As far as the ID, she has her license on her obviously, and her passport is in her room at the hotel as far as I know."The Liger spoke as she crushed the Notary seal into the pages and stamped the signature into them. "I just really hope she didn't do too much damage to their relationship with that little stunt. She has done so much for my girl, setting that back scares the hell out of me. Hell, I think the mouse touched something in your girl also.""She has, I'm sure of it Lilly. Daisy has always been... a bit of a wild girl. Most would call her easy behind her back, to scared to say it to her face. I've kept an eye on her, tried to keep her from going too far, or off the deep end. But she's never, not once had feelings for anyone like she does for Cecily. You have no idea how good it felt to hear my girl tell me that she was in love with someone. As a mother there is just one thing I want to ask of you Lilly, watch out for her. Keep her as safe as you
can, even from herself."Lilly looked up at the moose mother and said, "You are handing that child of yours over to five foreign war vets with PTSD and special ops training, a small damaged mouse, and have no idea where we are taking her. And you're going to ask me to keep her safe? You haven't even asked where I am taking her. or if we have have a plan. Shit, you don't even know if I found a job, you just know we're moving. Sounds a little crazy and dangerous to me." She sat the laptop to one side and pushed herself up onto the couch to look at her companion. "So, when are you going to start with the third degree, or are you going to just trust the crazy liger that your psychiatrist husband thinks should be committed? I think it's well established in some peoples minds that I am not all there upstairs.""In some peoples minds maybe, not so much in mine Lilly. The ones that think your nuts aren't mothers, well most of them aren't probably. I see more than most people think I do, it comes with being a mother and an ARPN, you learn to read the things about people they try to hide. You are different Lilly, but you're a long way from crazy.I highly doubt that you would make an offer like you did to my girl without having a plan. You may think I'm the crazy one for not grilling you like an Iraqi insurgent, but I know a thing or two about combat vets and PTSD. My father was a vet, a fact I don't think Daisy is even aware of, he didn't talk much about his years in the service. To many people he was crazy too, but I knew better, just like I think I know better about you. If you wanted me to know where you're heading or what your plan is you would have told me by now. But you haven't, and I'm intelligent enough to know you have your reasons for that, the biggest one is probably an overgrown moose man that you don't trust to willingly let his daughter just leave home. Tell me if I'm wrong." As she spoke to the feline woman beside her, Raquel's face was as stone cold and emotionless as Lilly's had been earlier that day, when she had made an offer that set the woman's daughter into a panic."Sorry Ricky, you're wrong on who I am trying to keep things from. This whole move was meant to be a surprise, but this little surprise fucked that up, I said it without thinking. I am really not worried about that man of yours finding us. He will regret every moment he makes to do any harm to anyone in my care. You will want to let him know that. As for our plans, don't tell the kids, I still want it to be a surprise. Sisy will have a few people she has already met when we hit home base. We're headed to Marblecliff, New Hampshire. I got a job as an instructor of
computer science at a prestigious private school. I really don't know how I pull shit like this off, but I met a guidance counselor for the school here on the cruise, and they just happened to need a new IT instructor. Half my team is already on their way out to find a place for us. The other half is packing up our cabin to leave as quickly as possible after we touchdown tomorrow." She looked the moose matron in the eyes, "You can tell your man anything you want, don't even try to hide it from him. He can do what he wants, try anything he wants. We can tie him up in courts for a year if he goes for legal action, anything beyond that would just be foolish on his part." She looked away and leaned back and stretched out. "You take care of the last kid you have. He's going to need you more than ever now, even if he is as damaged as I think he is, he can still be pulled back from that edge, but you need to get that man on the right page before he helps push the boy over it."Grinning slightly at the reclining liger Raquel replied, "and here you were trying to convince me you were crazy. I will watch out for Paul, that my job, even if I did let him get lost in the shuffle in this family. I have a few things to atone for on that boys part too. You understand things far better than you let on to most people Lilly. Almost none of what has happened on this cruise for my family was planned. But in the end it has worked out quite well in freeing my time up to take care of the one child that does need me the most. If I didn't feel I had any reason to trust the people my two oldest children have become involved with, do you honestly think I would agree to any part of what is happening to them now?"Lilly snickered, "I never said I was crazy, I just said others would say I'm crazy. I let people think what they want. I do things my way, and that seems to work for me. Whether it looks crazy to others or not is their problem. And who knows, I might just be a little crazy."As the liger finished a knock came at the door. With the sound Lilly instantly shouted, "Put your shirt back on Ricky, I think we've been caught." then calmly walked to the door and opened it to see the two teens on the other side. "Damn, I thought it was Andy."From Daisy's arms Cecily said, "Andy? Do you mean Arnold?""Andy, Arnold, Asshat, what's the difference?" She retorted with a shrug as she walked back to the couch."Really Lilly? You think the fool would even consider trying to go one on one with you after hearing you offered to turn his head into paste?" the moose woman asked with a raised eyebrow.She looked back at the moose, "Whatever, he's not the brightest basketball in the toolbox." She relaxed with her arm stretched across the back of the couch as she looked at the lovebird, "Okay, Looks like you have a question, spit it out mouse bait."Looking from her mother to the ligar woman as if they had both lost their minds she braced herself for the unrelenting questions she felt sure were about to start as she help the mouse close to her chest. "Okay, short and simple. I want to know if Sisy can go with me to get my shit so I can get out of Colorado sooner and get to where we need me to meet you."Lilly looked to Raquel with a raised eyebrow, "Did she really just ask that? With a straight face even? Does she really expect me to let a teen drive across the country?" She looked back to the pair, "Well if you're asking I am sure you thought it through. let me hear it. Driving plans, security, stops, hotels. How are you going to fund this little excursion for two? What's your emergency plan if something happened to you out here?""arrive in Denver at DIA time unknown since I don't have a clue when the flight is. Ride to Winter Creek is ninety minutes, have a friend that I trust that will pick us up at the airport, she only needs to know what time to be there. Packing my shit shouldn't take more than four hours total, including strapping the bike to a trailer and hooking up the lights, connector is already on my car for when we go jet skiing at lake Boyde. Drive from Denver to wherever in eight hour shifts, first shift mine second shift Sisy. Stops at motel six along the way which will be pre booked once I hit home. full itinerary sent to your phone once it is finalized. Emergency numbers already in my phone and Sisy's which means you have them also from when you downloaded my contact list," she said looking at the liger. "As far as how m I going to finance this little jaunt, I have a checking and a savings account that I have been putting money into for years, mom insisted we all learn how to handle our own finances a long time ago.""Sounds,like a plan, except for two issue. First, my phone is in tiny pieces on the road out there. Second, Sisy is about a foot too small to drive most
cars and can a seventeen year old be the primary driver for someone with a learners permit?" Lilly looked over at Raquel, "I don't know, it sounds a bit iffy to me.""Point one, your phone will be replaced before we leave and I know you're just going to copy my contact list again anyway so you may as well do it in front of me this time instead of behind my back. Point two, hell if I know but it's either that or I drive ten hours a day and we stop for the night after that. I am not driving myself into the ground and risking us getting hurt for any reason," the moose herm said flatly."Okay, smarty pants, scenario question. You stop for gas. When you get out someone walks up to you and asks for money. What do you do?""Kick them in the crotch, scream rape at the top of my lungs and bash the asshats face in the windshield. Or maybe just let Sisy tase em in the junk instead," the moose answered trying to hide the grin that threatened to burst onto her face. "Before you even ask, I have three tasers at home, couldn't bring them on the ship so I left them there.""a little over zealous but it works for a couple of teens out on their own." Lilly looked over at the moose mother, "Your turn, Ricky, what do you have to say about the girl driving across the nation with only a meek, little mouse with her?""First I want to know who this 'friend' is that's meeting you two at the airport if we allow this," the moose matron asked."Jennifer, I had already talked to her about... other plans if things got out of hand after we got home. She was going to meet me at the airport any way to run interference between me and dad so I could at least get home peacefully. SHe's already agreed to the change of plans and will be there whenever she needs to be," the younger moose answered with a straight face."Okay, then who do you call to check in with along the way and how often?" came the next question from the moose's mother."You twice a day, nine am and six pm. No driving while on the phone, no texting while driving. Lilly I would use the same schedule unless she says otherwise," came the reply without hesitation."Eight hour switch offs and nine hour check ins?" Lilly asked as she glanced at the mouse.The mouse looked at the moose for an answer, "Um... it is before most people start work and after they get home. It would only make sense to not interrupt the fowl of other peoples day unless it is an emergence?""Standard check ins so mom could be sure she wouldn't have her phone on silent because of work. We can use a different schedule if you want there will be two of us in the car and the one not driving can make the calls." Daisy looked at the mouse after she answered the ligers question. "The one thing I'm really serious about is no being on the phone in any way when you're driving. It's not smart and it too dangerous, your only focus is on the road." looking back at the liger she added, "I never did any of that talking or texting while driving Lilly, but some of my friends used to. Until we lost one of our group because he was texting a girl for a date while he was driving home. I won't do it and I won't let anyone do it in my car, not even Sisy.""Fair enough. What else you got, Ricky?" Lilly looked over at the other mother as she asked."Fine, and after you get to your final destination what do you have to do young lady?" she asked her daughter a serious look on her face."Get the car re registered and licensed and the insurance changed with a new home address. All of which can not happen until I call my mother and tell her that we made the trip fine and that we are all safe and sound. After that it's change of address, and get my ass registered and ready for the school year. I'll also need to let you know where I am, and Ralph needs a way to contact me to keep me updated on the baby and Zoe. I just don't want dad to know where I am for a while so please don't tell him. If he does come to his senses he may think it's best to come and 'rescue me' and I don't want that. Whether this works out or blows up in my face I have to do it on my own, with Lilly and Sisy watching my back I can't mess up too bad. Sisy would never let me hear the end of it, and Lilly would slap me hard enough to make a deer out of me," she answered as she looked from face to face around the room."So far so good, but I think you may have forgotten one thing you need to do that is at least as important as
anything else," Raquel said as straight faced as a poker play in Vegas.Turning to the liger the moose herm looked her straight in the eyes as she said, "thank you Lilly, for everything you're doing for me and for Sisy. I know all of this has messed up some things for you, it has to have at least a little. I promised her and I promise you, I won't run again, and I won't leave her behind, ever.""Don't thank me too fast, Mouse bait, you still have no idea what you are getting yourself into. Even though she told you in a text message, I really don't think you understand our plans." the liger leaned forward looking her adopted daughter's girlfriend in the eyes, "You're in for big change in everything you know and hold dear. That little mouse of ours has set things in motion that will change hundreds of lives. If your going to stay with her, you are part of that., regardless of what that entails. It's not going to be easy I am sure. And if you run again I don't know if you will be able to set things right." She picked the laptop up off the floor as she leaned back again. "You two have about five a.m before we have to hit the airport and waste our lives waiting, then it's back to the real world." She started tapping away at the keyboard as she said, "If you want you can let your man back in if you think he can behave himself. Or you can do whatever you want. The girls are in my hands now."Walking over and hugging her daughter and the small mouse girl still in her arms Raquel looked them both in the eyes. "You two,..." she sighed heavily, "have had about the roughest start to a relationship as I can imagine. I"ll miss you more than I can say Daisy, but this is how it has to be. I always knew you would leave home one day, just not so soon. You two can make it, but it won't be easy. Just take care of each other and always be there for each other," shaking her head slightly she added, "even when the one you love is acting like an asshole be there for them." Looking at Cecily she continued, "you're a very special girl Cecily, and I think my foolish daughter is figuring that out, she's pretty special too, and I think you already know that. You both better call me and keep me up to date on how things are going, or I'll be the one hunting you down. I love you girls," she said as she squeezed the pair tightly. "Now if you ladies will excuse me, I have to go rescue a basketball from the toolbox he fell into.""Thanksgiving, Raquel," Lilly said as the other woman prepared to leave, "And you're going to bring that cute panda couple of yours with you.
We'll figure out the details later.""Okay, we'll do that, and the basketball?" the moose woman asked, giggling at the liger calling her son a panda. "Should I just leave him bouncing around or bring hig so you can scare the shit out of him again?""I don't think he needs that, but If he can figure out what he's done wrong in my eyes, he's welcome to try and atone for it. If he's just going to come to try and fuck shit up, he will get hurt, and not by me." The liger spoke without looking up from whatever she was working on. "Alex has a thing about family gatherings.""We'll see how he does between now and then. If he does then I'll drag him along, if not he can keep his ass in Colorado," the moose woman said as she released the girls from her embrace. "One of you two better call me when you get to DIA and let me know you made it safely, or else," she said to the young couple before her."We will mom, as soon as we get to the terminal one of us will call," her daughter replied."Yes, ma'am," Cecily replied from the mooses arms.Stopping before she reached the door she turned around to look at the girls again, "Cecily, if you're going to be a part of Daisy's life... no, if you're going to be her girlfriend, the it's either Raquel or mom. Being part of her life, makes you a part of mine too."The small mouse looked at the older moose and said, "Yes ma... Raquel, " with a little smile on her face.Nodding to the small mouse girl in her daughters arms that had brought suck a huge change in her life, her family and her daughter in a short period of time the moose matron smiled, turning to walk out of the hut and retrieve her husband. Her focus now on finding a way to save the last of her children she could help."Well girls, What the fuck have we gotten ourselves into now?" Lilliana sat the laptop on the floor again before she stretched out on the length of the couch. "Looks like I will have to tell the others we have a new mouth to feed. And just let you know, Daisy, this is no free ride either. I hope you're as ready for this as you think you
are."The small kangaroo mouse looked into Daisy's eyes and asked, "What now? It's just us and no more worries about your dad."Looking to the liger first she responded, "I never thought it would be Lilly, and I hope I am too. But for this one," she said slightly jostling the mouse girl in her arms, "I'll do whatever I have to, just as long as she's with me I can do it." Turning next to her mouse love in her arms she added, "What ever we want to sweet cheeks. But we do need to make a bit of a plan for getting my shit packed up and loaded, and I need to remember where the hell I put those tie down straps for my bike. I'll rip someones arm off over that ride. Hmmm, ya know speaking of the bike..." the moos herm leaned in close to whisper in the mouse's ear, "you would look great on that with me, all decked out in biker leathers."Cecily lifted her muzzle to the moose's ear and whispered, "I have my own." She pushed back from her girlfriend, "but really. What do we do now?""You two have a few hours to spend without a care. After that we'll have to get Daisy's shit from the hotel, turn in the bikes, and get our asses to the airport to wait. What you guys do is up to you, everyone is now well aware of what's going on and the only obstacle here has been rendered harmless, at least for the next few hours." Lilly yawned as she added, "Being a badass is tiring work. I think I'll take a nap, and worry about the phone some other time."Looking at her mouse lover the moose got a huge grin on her face as she said, "tell ya what trail mix, you can pick what we do second, but I have dibs on what we do first, okay?"Looking into the emerald eyes of her girlfriend, Cecily slipped her paws into the thick fur under her shirt, "Sure thing, hot stuff. What do you have in mind?"Leaning down to plant a short soft kiss on her lovers lips she lowered her voice slightly as she gave her reply, "CAKE!"Giggling frantically for a moment, the mouse asked, "Cake, or the cake we had the other night?""That part sweet lips, is totally up to you, either way I get something sweet
and tasty so I don't care either way," the moose herm said, hugging the mouse to her chest warmly."Let's just go get some cake this time," Cecily said softly, "I think we both need it. And you deserve a reward for what you did, standing up to your father for me.""Okay Sisy, you got it, hey Lilly, we're going out for cake you want anything?" the moose asked as she looked to the liger sprawled on the couch."Droid 4, ruby red cover, and rum... cake, rum cake." the liger said as she draped her arm over her eyes, "Sisy's phone should have all the account info to get it replaced."Cecily pushed and squirmed her way out of Daisy's arms. As she hit the floor on her paws and moved to put the tight leather street armor pants and jacket over the bathing suit and snached up the helmet and backpack. "Ready," the small mouse said with a smile."Then let's go find us some cake sweet lips," the moose said as she scooped the mouse back into her arms as they headed out the door.
