Day 5 Pandora's apt at dawn
<Snip From Tree's>

Lexi watched his twin move gracefully around the small room her bare
feet making no sound on the smooth floor.  The peasant blouse she had
slipped on was low cut and Alexis almost fell over laughing when she
poured T'rell another cup of coffee. The blouse dropped open slightly
and the Wingleader's eyeballs about popped out of his head as he got a full 
frontal shot of Pandora's well rounded breasts.

The wonderful thing was that Panda was still not quite awake and hadn't 
noticed or she would have been terribly embarrassed and he as her wonderful 
brother was not about to tell her. She got her own cup then she sat down 
quietly and listened to the two men talk.  A movement out the side window 
caught Lexi's attention, leaning slightly, a smile crossed his face as he 
noticed Sharees heading in their general direction.  Quickly putting another 
slice of the warm pie on a plate, he grabbed a fork and excused himself.

<end Snip>

T'rell left not long after Lexi, letting Pandora have time to get properly 
freshened up, and dressed.  She took a few minutes to get a clean outfit 
together, and then went into the bathing room.

A nice shower to start the day off and get the cobwebs out of her head.  
Then she would clean up the dishes, and perhaps take Samson a pie.  She 
should make him wait after what he had done yesturday, but she couldn't be 
mean to him, he meant well.

Meanwhile, as she was busy in the other room, Shadow followed his nose to 
the source of this new smell.  He had never scented anything quite like it, 
and being a cat, he was curious.

The large black panther padded quietly up the stairs, and stuck his head in 
several doors and windows before he located the source.  His tail swaying 
lazily back and forth, he leaped in the window, landing lightly on the bed 
under it.

jumping lightly to the floor he headed over to the table on witch the scent 
seemed to be coming from.  putting both large paws on the table, he leaned 
closer to be sure it was indeed what he had scented.

There was a plate near his paws with some juice, and crust on it.  he leaned 
closer, sniffing the crumbs.  He licked experimentaly at the plate once or 
twice.  Finding the taste to his liking, he proceded to lick the two plates 
clean.

Shadow purred in pleasure, this was good, but now it was gone, there had to 
be more, the scent was still strong.  Leaping lightly up onto one of the 
chairs, he leaned over to sniff at a mound on which the scent was even 
stronger.

Shadow licked it, but found it didn't taste like the other, still this was 
were the scent was strong.  He tapped it with his paw, the first time 
nothing happened, the second time he broke through the top crust.

The scent was 100 times stonger!  He had licked carefully at the hot 
insides, by the time he was licking the last of the pie from the pan, 
Pandora was just finishing getting dressed.  Shadow sat there in the middle 
of the table, and began to wash himself, this new food was sticky.

Pandora came into the room singing to herself, and headed into the dining 
area.  She picked up a sack of floor to put it away, it was then that she 
noticed Shadow.

What happened next was a blur.  She threw the bag of flour at the confused 
cat screeming for help.  Shadow, covered in flour, yowled in confussion, and 
streaked out the way he had entered, through the window at top speed.

On the green, Allora was heading over to training, after that she was to go 
on patrol and then have the evening free.  Maybe she could get a group of 
the riders to play cards and just relax.

No sooner had she finished this thought, than she heard a high pitched 
scream, followed by a yowl.  She knew that yowl, it was Shadow, but who was 
screaming?

{Fluffy, what...}  Was all she got out.

{Shadow is in trouble!} Fluffy roared and launched himself towards the  
streak of black and grey that had to be Shadow, they were both headed for 
her.

She knelt down on one knee, and put her arms around Shadows neck.  She could 
sensed his confusion.  Fluffy landed to one side of them, and stood there, 
wings unfurled, body tense.  She had only ever seen him like this once- and 
that was the battle with the wraithes.

There was an answering roar, and then the ground shook.  Allora turned to 
see a red dragon, as large as Fluffy, and just as mad.  The two were nose to 
nose, and she was in the middle.
