Mimi nodded as she took the bacon he had cut, she didn't even notice it was there... then again Mimi doesn't notice a lot of things when she fist waked up. Not much or a morning person. She placed it in the pan along with another piece of ham. She left the last two un cooked. She yawned letting the piece of ham cook for 7 minutes and the bacon for the ten minutes just like Sol asked.

She placed the cooked bacon on the same plate as she had put the pieces off ham. She had pulled out four eggs. She cracked each of them open letting the you're his the pan. She gave the shells for time to eat, he didn't seem to happy about eating shells but he did anyways. It was extra fuel to keep himself burning. The eggs didn't take long to cook maybe 40 seconds at the most. She Placed one in Times bowl, two one plate and one on the other.

She also gave Time two sliced of the cooked ham and a piece of bacon. She placed him bowl on the floor. She put the pan in the sink. She placed the two slices of raw ham onto Sols plate which had the two eggs on them. Them her piece of cooked ham onto the other plate. She thought the plates to the kitchen table, then went back to grabbed the plate with the bacon on it, along with the jar of honey. Mimi loved honey and had a habit of putting it on a lot of things she ate.

Time jumped off the counter and made a bee line for his food. He started she chow down, with a happy purring that followed.

Mimi knew that Time normally ate most of the food she made, then again she wanted to keep her figure. She padded over to the closet and grabbed another chair. Well Mimi lived alone most of the time so she normally kept what she felt was needed out. She placed the chair by the table then looked over to Sol and smiled. "Foods ready."

Solaris didn't need to be told the food was done. He could smell it. He walked to the chair Mimi had retrieved and sat down, looking at the food for a moment. "Looks delicious." He said, smiling. Silently he added, 'And so do you.' Then he extended one claw and cut the meat, piercing it and popping it in his mouth. He chewed, swallowed, and looked at Mimi. Shrugging, he simply explained, "I don't trust knives or forks with food. Too easy to end up cutting yourself. I trust my claws more than I trust my guns. Or anything else, for that matter." He cut another piece off and bit into it. "And I eat the meat raw for other reasons, other than taste. For one raw meat has some nutrients that cooking destroys, and those nutrients help the body out." He said after he'd swallowed. He took a piece of bacon and bit into it. Perfect! Hard and crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. He swallowed, smiled and looked at Mimi. "You should really try the bacon. It's pretty good, and it goes well with toast. Though, admittedly, I don't get much toast while I'm traveling." He took another bite of the bacon and wondered briefly if Mimi even cared. Then again she might be interested in cooking on the move. But then again she might like the city more than the woods. She certainly wasn't in her element back at the Battle Royale. He chuckled at the thought and finished off the first strip of bacon.

Mimi smirked "The only knifes I got are the ones in my room." She rarely used them and never used them to cut food. She did have forks for holding food what was to hot. She took a piece of bacon and took a bite, her ears flickered. "I can't eat raw meats, I get sick if I do. I guess it's because my parents always cooked the meat when I lived with them." She let out a sigh taking another bite of the bacon. Her parents weren't dead, she just rarely saw them. Mainly because of her sister, when her parents had planned to do something when she visited her sister dumped her cubs on Mimi. Well babysitting around ten yowling cubs isn't much fun.

She took the jar of honey and pored a few drops onto the ham. She was going to get some bread but saw that Time was already eating the bread she had left. She just shook her head. "Stupid cat eats too much..." She muttered as she used her claws to cut off a part of the ham and ate it.

Mimi was wondering what would have happened if she hadn't meet Sol at the Royal. Well she pushed it aside; it was useless to think about what could have happened. She finished her food and placed the empty dish in the sink. She saw that Times bowl was empty so she picked up and placed it in the sink as well. She yawned sitting back on the chair. "So you plan on doing anything today?" She asked

Sol finished at about the same time Mimi did, and he put his plate in the sink. "Not really. I thought about checking out the arena they have here in town but after last night, I'm not sure if anyone would want me in a public area. I mean, I am sort of a murderer now, aren't I?" He shrugged the thought off and took off his jacket, hanging it across his shoulders. "You know, I'm surprised that cat doesn't weigh as much as a house, with the way I see him eat. If he's like that all the time, he'd better have a high metabolism. Either that or he eats his own fat. But that wouldn't do much would it?" He shrugged again and looked at the cat. He laughed and said, "May wanna clean your face there bud." Then he walked into the living room and outside. The ball was still there, and he kicked it. It flew well out of sight. Solaris walked back inside and looked at mimi. "I don't feel very wanted right now." He said, leaning against the door jamb. Then he pushed off and said, "I might head out of the city tomorrow, if not today. I'd love for you to go with me, but I'd probably not be allowed back in and if you're seen around me you might not be either." He walked up to Mimi and licked her cheek, then leaned against a wall. "I really doubt you'd want to leave your home. And I'm pretty sure Time wouldn't be all smiles and laughs about it either. But it's up to you. I have no say in the matter. It's your life." He smiled kindly, covering up the anxiety he felt. What if she decided to let him go alone? He couldn't stay in the city, that much was certain. But he didn't want to leave Mimi. 'It's up to her.' He thought decisively.

Mimi thought about it, leaving again. What if everything turned out horrible wrong once more and he let her without second thoughts. She knew that the city only brought trouble. Well her job didn't make her many friends. She looked over to Time her ears lopped as she watched him head over to her room. Her ears picked up wondering why he would be going in there.

Time jumped onto the bed side table. "Do I have to remind her about everything" He muttered then picked up a small piece of paper and jumped off the table.

Mimi looked at Sol. It was obvious that she was uncertain about what to do. "Where do you plan on going?" She asked sounding a bit worried. She would follow him everywhere if past mistakes weren't haunting her at the moment. Even if she stayed here she might be in danger. Sol's blood thirty side said she was his first target. If so she was in one hell of a mess.

Time padded back to his owner and dropped the piece of paper at her paws. "Your forgetting about something." He said quietly. Looking at Sol for a second. He was sure his owner wouldn't leave the city.

Mimi picked up the piece of paper. Her ear quickly flickered, it was an invitation for a Kata tournament. She let out a sigh and tour up the piece of paper. "I'm not going Time..." Her ears lopped, she had tried for five years to get back in. They hadn't allowed her because her appearance wasn't politically correct and they wouldn't allow anthos. "I'll go with you Solaris... besides I got nothing left to wait for in the city besides for broken bones" Well pit fighting caused her to break a lot of things.

Sol smiled and stepped forward, hugging Mimi. "I can't promise that broken bones won't be waiting for you out there, but I can promise that I'll be there." He whispered. He released her from the hug and stepped back to lean against the wall again. "I'm not sure where I.... We'll go. There aren't many cities that won't know about me in two days' time and the wilderness is dangerous. I started to think the highlands for my next destination, but I'm not sure how friendly the weather would be up there without very many trees." He paused, thinking. He sighed. Not many places were perfect for any sort of family. The highlands were the best bet, though. It was easy to see for miles around on even the smallest of hills, the ground was good for a bit of farming, and during the warmer months hunting was good. Then again any kind of forest was good too. The trees offered ready-made building material, the ground was just as good for farming, and hunting was excellent during most months. He sighed again. "I don't know..." He admitted finally. "But you don't have to worry about my... brother. He's like me in the mind in some ways. He won't attack you when I'm around, to great a risk of physical harm. He'd wait until you've been alone a few days before moving in. Besides, he won't plan on us moving. If love weren't involved, I'd leave you here and go alone. Then again he doesn't know much about emotions, does he?"

She thought the highlands would be a good spot. They would just have to watch out for her sister. Well she wouldn't have to worry about his brother, hopefully. "Well your brother doesn't scare me" She lied but she sounded fairly confident. Her ears flickered as she took a paw steps towards him and licked him cheek. "I better pack up my things then." She smiled wrapping her tail around him for a second then padded off to her room.

Time just looked at Sol. Then shook his head his owner was going to leave with another guy... again. He would follow her like always but he turned tails and padded over to his owners room, but when she reached the door she was finished packing up "That was quick..." He muttered and padded over to the couch.

Mimi had brought her bo staff which she was holding, a few extra pairs of clothes, her juka, and belt. Along with a brush to keep her fur under control. She sat down on the couch next to Time and looked out the window. She hopped that Sol was telling the truth and wouldn't leave her. "I got a place out in the highlands... well it's not as nice at it use to be. Some human care and destroyed the place about two weeks ago. I managed to dig up a den a few days later." She let out a sigh remembering how long it took her parents to get that place ready. Well it was useless to get upset about it.

Sol sat down beside Mimi, smiling. He nuzzled her and said, "Don't worry. We'll get it fixed up in no time." He glanced at time, wondering what his take on all this was. He decided not to ask. "Humans do a lot of things, but what they like to do most is mess things up. Not a thought about the consequences. Just trash it and move on." He smiled and stood up. "Well then, I'm ready to go. If you're all packed up then we can go now." He walked to the door and opened it. He yelped in surprise and ducked as a rotten tomato flew at him. Standing, he quickly shut the door. "I knew I wasn't very popular..." he muttered. Drawing his brother's gun, he unloaded the clip and loaded a new one, this one loaded with darts. "They'll knock them out while we leave. They'll wake up three hours later with no idea where they are and a headache so bad they'll think they got hit on the head." He smiled and opened the door, firing three shots. Three dull Plumps as the tomato wielders fell, out cold. He nodded. "I only use these every so often." He hardly noticed the difference between his old gun and his brother's. Only the color stood out. Quickly the fox holstered his gun and walked out into the sunlight. He sighed happily, closing his eyes and breathing in deeply. His fur began to glow again. He turned and looked at Mimi and Time, smiling. "Let's get going. It's a long ways to... anywhere!" He chuckled. "Oh, hey, Mimi, do you have room in that bag for my jacket? I don't plan on wearing it all day."

((Wellz, there you guys go. This is the first part of a god-knows-how-many quick-post of all the RPs me and Bunny were in prior to our fight. Yes, we had a fight. I said I was done with the series, but that doesn't mean I'm not posting any more of it. In face, I have a good 7 or 8 stories left to come. I know you guys saw and are going to see a lot of spelling errors in this and the rest I'm going to put up. For that, I appologize, but correcting the spelling errors would require me to read through the whole thing, and it would remind me of just what I've lost by fighting with Bunny. And I swear, it's not all my fault! She just gets so aggrivating, and doesn't seem sorry about it. She drives me insane... I'm sorry that, in the long run, the few devoted readers I have are going to suffer for it, but I've officially stopped continuing the series with here. From here on out, I'm only posting what we've already done. When I'm done, no new stories between Mimi and Sol will be added, unless Bunny stops being a blatant bitch. Also, if you'll notice, starting from the previous chapter and continuing on, the names of the stories make a poem I'm making up on the spot. Hopefully it won't turn out crappy, and you'll see how this recent fight as fucked with me. Now, I have a good 8 sstories to copy and edit and only a few hours to do it, seeing as it's 3:17 in the morning and we're leaving at approximately 12 noon for christmas at my grandma's. Have a Merry fucking Christmas. I know I'm not going to.))
