Zack sighed and followed him. "Look, so many stupid things have happened to Vanilla, that NOTHING anyone that's not her family says will make a difference to her. Admittedly, I did some stupid things to-" Then, he noticed Lucky walking near them. "Hey..."

"Hey, What did Vanilla say? i missed it."
Lucky put his head down, watching his feet.

Zappa nodded.
"So whos the wolf?" he said lookin down the street towards Zack and Beta.

"Eh, don't ask about how it went. Please. Please just don't."

Meanwhile, a little female fennec kit(Well, maybe not THAT little, being 10.5 in pet years.), was currently walking around the neighborhood, wearing a bow. Icee sighed. She had wanted to have some time by herself, but, she was starting to miss her bros...And, her mom. However, Soon, Icee noticed her cousin walking with another dog, as well as...Well, a wolf. Who the heck are these guys that Zack's walking with? Eh, what do I care? Then again, maybe one of his friends is actually an idiot...Who I can toy with evilly...Or, whatever. Then, the female Fennec kit ran toward the three of them. "HEY, ZACK!"

Drake shrugged and said, "Eh, I have NO idea..."

Winter sighed and whispered to Max, "I'm bored with this Maxie, let's go see the cabin so we know how badly it needs to be clened up."

Lucky was shocked to see the (kinda) little fox run up to the three. and yell "Zack"
Lucky usually didnt talk to new pets until he knew them.

[Sorry D:]

[She's a FOX. A fennec fox. Young dogs aren't usually called KITS.]

Zack Turned to look and groaned. "Oh, great....What do you want, Icee?" "Well, I just wanted to have fun with the greatest cousin ever!" Zack just stared at her. Icee sighed. "Alright, I went out walking to get away from my mom and brothers, alright?" "Oh...Sooooooo, why are you talking to US?" "Well, I just wanted to meet whoever these guys are." Zack sighed. Oh, GREAT...

Zappa noticed everyone coming back and walked over to them. He saw the little Fennec, and looked at Zack then at Beta. He then turned to the Fennec and smiled.
"Hello young one how are you?" he asked politely.

The fennec girl turned to see Zappa. As soon as he called her little one, she smirked alittle. Then, suddenly, her face became innocent and sparkly. "Why, I'm doing MARVELOUS, Mister!" Zack just groaned. This cannot end well...

"Okay. Let's go." Max said as he took Winter's hand and walked in the direction of the park.
----------
The movie was over for a while and Liz heard something. She looked out the window and saw the car crash, "Oh no!" She said as she rushed outside, "Be right back Jackie!" She called behind her as she ran towards the commotion. She watched the scene unfold, and somehow, she knew the entire situation, almost like someone told her it. She went to the Cake's house and snuck to the back. She had a piece of paper and a pencil in her collar pouch, and she wrote a note on it. It read, "Even when the path is dark, there's lights all around you. Look at the lights and see how happy they make you. Then the darkness won't seem as bad. Your friend, Liz." She folded it up and wrote, "To Vanilla. This is not from any of the psychos. It's from someone who considers you a friend." on the front. She sniffed in the air, using her nose that rivaled the best of dog's noses, and found Vanilla's room. She put it on the window so she would see it and be able to grab it when she opened the window. She then ran back to her house and back inside, "I'm back Jacky!"
----------
Morrigan was watching the entire scene unfold. With the current influx of magic, her powers were back to normal. She gave the information to Liz. She then followed Beta, while invisible. She spoke to Alpha, without Beta knowing, "That was impressive." She said sarcastically.

Honey and Vanilla came inside their house. They didn't tell their dad everything--no need to work him up when they were all right now--but they did tell him a little bit, since it was clear that something had happened. Honey still didn't want to move so soon after moving here, but even she wasn't sure how they could go on anymore.

Several minutes later, when Honey and Vanilla were more or less all right again emotionally, they went to their separate rooms in silence. Vanilla noticed the note in the window and at first was frightened and angry all over again. But still...it was better than finding the writer in her room. Trying her best to emulate Honey (it was the least she could do after Honey's breakdown outside, which was partly her fault), she took a few deep breaths, and decided to give the benefit of the doubt. She looked at the note.

At first the message seemed ridiculous. "This is not from any of the psychos"? Was someone making fun of her? No. She would read what was in it--no one was around to watch her anyway. She opened the note and read.

"Even when the path is dark, there's lights all around you. Look at the lights and see how happy they make you. Then the darkness won't seem as bad. Your friend, Liz."

It was from Liz. Liz, who....

Who....

"Your FRIEND".... "Who considers you a FRIEND"....

Vanilla let out a wailing sob, collapsing onto her bed and soaking her pillow. Honey didn't come straight in, and neither did Mr. Cake, and that was just fine with her. She wanted to be alone for awhile.

"A FRIEND"....

Winter played with her collar a bit as they walked. "So, how did you fiind this cabin????" she asked.

"Thats good. Now might I know you you are young one," Zappa asked.

Max thought for a moment, "Well, I decided to take a walk in the park one day. I decided to have a little bit of fun exploring, and I wandered off the path. After walking around for a little, I found a cabin. I went inside, and it looked like nobody had been inside for years. Later my dad and I made a pathway to the cabin from the path." He said as they walked down the path. As they walked, Max could see where the path diverged and went off to the left to where the cabin was. Max made the turn towards the cabin, and they walked up to it, "Well, here it is!" He said. The cabin looked like it could comfortably hold all the pets in the neighborhood, and then some. But it looked old and rustic. It was in need of a lot of cleaning.

"Ooh! this is way cool!!" Winter exclaimed as she looked around. "We could get table to hold snacks and such, and ,oh! I could bring my mini fridge maybe. And we could use, like, old Christmas lights or something like that for the lights, and streamers and lotsa cleaning supplies will make this place awesome!!!" She hugged Max excitedly. "I'm so happy you came up with this idea!!!"

"My name's Icee, Mister! I'm Zackie's cousin!" Not to mention your utter undoing, Mortal...Meh, I'm being too evil. Zack sighed.

Zappa chuckled then rubbed her hair.
"And I'm a being of good there young one. Careful what you think got it?" Zappa said.

"...You could actually tell what she was thinking? Oh, wait, it's you. Nevermind." Icee just continued staring at Zappa innocently. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mister!"

Zappa tapped her head.
"I can read minds," he said, he leaned forward and looked at her eyes, "And you not going to be my undoing. Vanilla is."

Icee just growled. "That's what you think...YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "...Wanna go back to the park, Zappa?"

Zappa picks up a Icee and nods.
"Lets go," he says.
(OMG That colour is bright)

[Is it really THAT bright?]

Icee yelled, "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Put me down!" "Come on, Zappa." Then, he started heading toward the park.

Max hugged her back, "Thanks! It'll be so cool when it's finished! We can bring a bunch of cleaning supplies and some other pets and clean this later. My parents have some old furniture in storage that they've been trying to get rid of. There's a long table, a bunch of folding chairs, a lectern, two couches, a love-seat, and drawers. I'm sure they'll let us use them" Max said excited.

Zappa starts walking with Icee on his shoulder. He laughs as she struggles.
:Oh relax if your so evil then why do you complain?" Zappa asked.

Icee just grumbled. Soon enough, they reached the park. "Wanna go on the main path again?"

"I'll get some supplies Winter. I'll be right back!" He said as he walked out the door and down the main path.

[You guys still know im with you right?]

Lucky followed the three to the park. Amazed at the random threatening yelling Icee made.

[nope we totally forgot...]
"Yep, it might be fun to see what she does to try and get away from me," Zappa says bouncing her slightly.

Icee just snarled. Suddenly, Zack saw Max. "MAX! Hey, Max! What are you doing here on the main path in the park?"

As Lucky listened to Zappa talk, it sounded as if she would go insane ang go all ninja on everybody, but he wasnt expecting that from Icee.
"So your cousins with Z-?" His question was soon cut short by Zack's yelling.

"Hey Zack, Zappa, Lucky, fox." He said as he walked up to them, "I was planning on making a club for all the neighborhood pets to hang out, have fun, settle disputes, and whatnot. Winter and I were looking at a potential meeting place. It's a cabin, not to far down the path."

[Im going to bed for tonight, so just pretend i follow you wherever you go.]

Lucky thought it was good idea for a club, he always wanted to be in one, but he didnt want to say anything because he was afraid no one cared much for him after the incident in the park with Beta.

Icee anwsered Lucky. "Yeah, our moms are Sisters." Then, after Max explained, Zack said, "A club, huh? And a cabin? Hmmmmm......Mind showing us?"

"Sure. It needs some fixing up, and some cleaning, but I think it'll do fine." He said as he led them to where the path diverged. As they walked up to the cabin, "Here it is." He said as he turned around outside of the cabin.

"Hello Max, how are you?" Zappa said, then he hoisted Icee up with one hand, "This is Icee."
After hearing the club idea Zappa agreed.
"Really? We can put her to work," motioning to Icee.

Icee snarled more. "Her? Please, her strengths are being an evil genius, among other things. Now, let's go inside." Then, he headed inside.

Zappa waited for Zack to leave then he lowered Icee.
"Evil genuis there huh? Well nothing is that bad... how badly you want me to put you down?" he asked her.

"Alot, I guess."

As Zack entered the cabin, he spotted Winter. "Oh, hey, Winter. How are you doing?"

"Two conditions. One: You treat everyone with respect or aleast here them out. Two: You do nothing that can get any of us introuble... Got it?" Zappa asked.

Icee just growled and said in French, "<Your mother wears combat boots...>"
