CHAPTER ELEVEN

QBBS Meredith Reynolds, Etheric Academy, Alpha Class Dormitory

Tina woke up and immediately noticed that Fudge wasn’t on her bed.

The kitten wasn’t on her own bed, either. She saw that the door to the sleeping area was ajar and groaned, standing up. She did a quick sweep of the room, but she couldn’t see Fudge anywhere. “Where is she? Fudge?”

Ron was on the sofa when she entered the living area, engrossed in a thick manual. She ignored him and started looking under the furniture.

Ron put his manual down and got up. “What are you doing?”

“I’m looking for Fudge. Have you seen her?”

“Not since last night,” Ron replied with a worried look. “Try shaking the kibble box. That usually brings her running.”

Tina did as Ron suggested, but Fudge didn’t appear. “Where is she?” Her frustration was rapidly turning to worry when there was a knock at the door. She opened it and Devi sauntered in followed by Kris, who was holding a squirming Fudge in her hands and getting clawed by the protesting kitten for her trouble.

“Ow!” She thrust Fudge at Tina. “Here you go. Someone left your door open and she got out.”

Devi chuffed. “I found her destroying school property. I told you she was bad news!”

Tina took Fudge and cradled her close. “Thanks, Kris.” Fudge began to purr, snuggling close to Tina.

“No worries,” Kris told her. “I better go. See you later.”

Devi sniffed moodily at Fudge. Then her puppy nose twitched and she yipped at Tina. “Can you smell that?”

“Human, Devi.” Tina deadpanned, waving her finger in a circle around her nose.

Devi let out a barking laugh. “Oh, yes, I forget. Your nose doesn’t work like mine. There is an interesting scent that requires my investigation. Would you care to join me?”

Tina snickered at the puppy, who was already moving away, drawn by whatever irresistible scent she was picking up. “You’re funny, Devi. I have to get to class soon, and Fudge and I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“Your loss,” Devi replied, already halfway down the corridor. “Whatever the smell belongs to, my nose is telling me it’ll be well worth finding!”

“Just stay out of trouble,” Tina called as she shut the door.

She went over to Ron, holding Fudge up to chastise her. “You can’t go wandering around like that!” Fudged mewed in return, which melted Tina’s resolve. “Oh, I can’t be mad at you. You’re too cute!”

Ron laughed. “You spoil her.”

“So I should,” Tina retorted. “She’s adorable.”

Ron went to say something but stopped himself.

“Spit it out,” Tina told him as she shook kibble into Fudge’s bowl. The kitten began to crunch away happily.

Ron shrugged. “I don’t think I should. You get mad every time I bring up the future.”

Not this, again. Tina sighed mentally. It had gone on too long. They were going their separate ways and there was nothing that could be done about it.

“See, I only have to mention the word and you’re rolling your eyes!”

Whoops. Tina sat down next to him on the sofa. “Ron, look… We’re just making this painful.
