Elena shivered, as if something cold and beastly was at her side. She scooped up Fuzz, and ran out the door, leaving the spider commander for good. Elena could never stay with a lover who was cruel to small animals, no matter how magical a claw he possessed.

When Elena crossed the border, she stopped at Guido’s guard shack to cool off. She set Fuzz down to prowl about the counter top and along the window sill. Guido ignored Fuzz, concentrating on recording Super Bowl bets and notes. Private Knight scratched Fuzz under the kitten’s chin. Fuzz purred and demanded more attention.

“Want a kitten?” asked Elena, still a bit weepy. “He’s house trained.” “What would I do with a kitten?” asked Private Knight, still scratching Fuzz. “I have no house.” “Me either,” commented Elena. “You’re still writing books aren’t you?” “So?” asked Private Knight. “What’s that got to do with anything?” “I thought is was a prerequisite for all writers to own a cat,” explained Elena. “Cats enhance writing skills. Everyone knows that, don’t they? Or do cats merely sit on your key board, shredding hard copies?”

“Perhaps I should borrow your cat,” replied Private Knight. “I need help writing, but I don’t want the responsibility of cat ownership.”

“Wimp!” responded Elena. “How are you going to be a medic with a wimpy attitude like that? You need to embrace responsibility.”

“I’m not going to be a medic!” exclaimed Private Knight. “I got a spider defector to volunteer to replace me.”

“You obviously like the kitten,” argued Elena. “Take him! Cats are good for lonely introverted author types like you.” Elena sadly petted Fuzz one last time.

“The only way I would take that cat is if you came with the deal,” suggested Private Knight, lewdly. He placed his hand over Elena’s hand as he petted Fuzz. They kissed passionately.

“Oh good grief!” responded Guido, looking up from his computer work and Super Bowl stats. “Get a room! There are rules against that sort of inappropriate behavior in today’s modern work place!”

“Shove it, Guido!” replied Elena, coming up for air between kisses. “I’m finding Fuzz a new home!”
