C+

Rowan looked over, still holding Diamo against his hip. He smiled. "Hey, Mae! Striker got a C+ on his English paper, so we're having cake for dinner. Other than that...um...I like to bake? C'mere. I made kittens out of sugar. You want one?" He sidestepped so she could get to the sweets. "And yeah, Jacob showed up today. He's buying Striker a cat, I guess..."

He might just be the only one in the house that didn't like cats....
 
"What about this one?" Striker asked quietly, pointing to a small black cat in a cage. The sign next to the cage said that he was a male and had already been neutered and gotten his shots. He was three years old.
 
"Oh, wow, that's amazing!" Mae exclaimed, picking up a sugar kitten and raising it high in the air. "For Striker!" She then ate the head of the kitten and licked her lips. "Are you putting these on top of the cake?" She asked, biting the legs next.
She was in love with sweets, and that showed in her caramel-colored hair and dark chocolate-colored eyes.
 
It worked out well because Rowan was almost always trying something new to make with sugar. "I was thinking about it. I was also hoping they'd help Emmy here..." He said, looking at the other girl whom he was still holding.
 
Mae turned to Emio and gave her a really tight hug. "I don't care that I'm sweaty right now, Em, but you need the hug. Don't let them bring you down," she said, letting go and gobbling the rest of the sugar kitten. "If I could go to your school, I would, and I'd slap some sense into them..." Mae didn't go to the same school Emio was in because of dancing, and she loved it there, but right now she wished that they both studied together so that she'd be there for Em as often as she wanted.
Mae headed for the shower, humming the tune of one of the Maroon 5 songs she danced to.
 
Emio/Diamo looked up at him and rested against him when he said he would find another doctor, nodding a bit. "That sounds good... A specialist in splits..." She felt herself be taken to the table with the sugar cats and looked up at the one he held up to her. A smile flitted across her lips and she reached out, taking the sugar cat and nibbling at it. "It tastes nice. It's mean to eat a cat, but it tastes nice." She jumped a bit when she was suddenly hugged by Mae and she looked to her sister. They were the same age, though Emia/Diamo had forgotten whether it was because they were twins or they had been born one after the other to where they were born the same year.
 
Raphael burst through the door, now with an addition of a guitar strapped on his back."I'm back guys!!" He sing-songed as he waltzed through the kitchen, until he landed on the couch, and heard the shower occupied.

"Hey! Mae's here~ right?" he smiled and asked nobody in particular.
 
"I heard my name!" Mae yelled from upstairs just as she turned off the shower. "Raphael, is that you? You still owe me ten bars of chocolate!" She grinned to herself as she began bathing. Man, it felt so good to be in a shower, especially after several hours of dancing to let all the conflicting emotions out.
 
"I do?" He asked innocently, before laughing sheepishly. "Ehehe, can I repay you with a song I composed instead?" He asked.

Without waiting for an answer he took out his guitar and started strumming a tune, a nice, pleasant, lazy tune, before changing it to a more upbeat, one, and stopped abruptly.
 
Mae stopped the shower as she listened to the tune, tapping her foot to the catchy melody when it stopped all of a sudden. All she could do was blink and silently shout at him, "WHY DID YOU STOP?" She frowned and quickly finished her shower. Wrapping herself in a towel, she opened the door just enough for her head to fit and asked her question out loud. "And I'm done by the way," she added, "who's next?"
 
He nodded to the cat and smiled at striker, He then waved the pet store worker over to get the cat. He brought the cat out the back while Jacob was buying the cat and the food. Once the cat was in the cage he rushed home with striker in the car, Once they reached home he turned the car off and grabbed the cat food. Walking into the house letting striker move at his own pace. Jacob opened the door again holding onto the bag of cat food dropping it just behind the door, looking around the house. " So who's next to come hug Jacob? " He said with a small smile on his face.
 
Rowan smiled at Emio. "Yes, it's very mean to eat kittens. But this one's made of sugar, so it's ok."

He listened to the others talk about music or chocolate or whatever, but didn't really get excited until he heard Jacob. Still carrying Emio and certain he had put a timer on the cake, he hurried out to the front hall. "Jacob!" He stepped up and hugged him, trying not to squish Emio between them. "Hey, fly-boy! How've you been?"
 
Emio looked to the living room when she heard Jacob and jumped a bit when she was suddenly carried out of the kitchen and then sandwiched between Rowan and Jacob from the hug. She squirmed a bit, but then her eyes caught something furry and black inside of a cage. She seemed to slide out from between the two brothers and she was soon at the door of the cage, sitting down and looking down at the cat inside. A smile returned to her lips and the shine in her eyes returned as well as she opened the cage door just barely and reached in to pet the cat. "Here kitty kitty kitty..."
 
"A cat..." Raphael murmured, smiling a little. Then he started to strum softly, daydreaming.
 
No reply. Meh, let the people bathe whenever they want to.
As soon as Mae finished dressing up, she headed downstairs to eat more sugar kittens, but when she saw Jacob from the stairs, she smiled.
"I knew it you were somewhere in this area," she said, walking up and hugging him and Rowan at the same time. "Good to see you again!"
"Here kitty kitty kitty," she heard Emio call out. She let go and looked at what Emio was calling out to.
"OMG A CAT!" she squealed, sitting beside Emio. "Aww the little cutie pie..."
 
He chuckled and accepted the hugs, he looks back at them looking at the cat and then at Rowan. " How have you been big guy? " He said putting his hands into his pockets and leaning a bit, His just cut facial hair itching him. He slowly removed his hands from his pockets to scratch it but still paying attention to whats going on.
 
He grinned and shrugged, sliding his hands into his pockets as well. "Oh, ya know...I've been. I'm thinking about changing my culinary expertise to pastry chef...oh, and I got a new tattoo." He held out his arm, showing off a knotwork band that went around his forearm just below the elbow. "And, you know me, I've got others in the works...."

He glanced over at the cat, then looked back at Jacob. "What about you? How's the ol' AF?"
 
"His name is Gambit," Striker told everyone quietly, sitting cross-legged on the ground and scratching his cat behind his ears. He was so cute and soft and perfect and Striker loved him so much.
 
Mae looked up to see Striker petting his cat. She grinned and hugged him tightly.
"Congrats on your C+!" she said, her voice slightly muffled. "The little Gambit's such a cutie, you deserve him. I'm really happy for you, big bro."
 
Diamo reached out, petting the cat with her happily normal smile back and the rosey color in her cheeks returned. "Gambit... it's a wonderful name for a cat of amazing luck." She leaned forwards, gently kissing the cat on the forehead before continuing to happily pet it.
