XIV. What comes around
**XIV. What comes around** _As told by Lily_ I slowly blinked awake as the morning light streamed into the living room. I didn't hear any sounds of the storm outside, so it must have passed. Kaeden was still passed out beside me, so I quietly...
XI. Dinner and a movie
**XI. Dinner and a movie** _As told by Nina_ A delightful scent of meat had filled the kitchen in the past thirty minutes. I hadn't fully mastered the secret recipe of my family's meat stew, so it had taken me slightly more time to prepare than...
X. Through the Looking-Glass
**X. Through the Looking-Glass** _As told by Lily_ It took me about ten minutes or so to calm Kaeden down enough to where I could get him out of his soaked diaper. I made a mental note to call up Chainbreakers to see if they had any resources for...
XVI. (Not) One of us
**XVI. (Not) One of us** _As told by Kaeden_ "Well...," I said, coughing, when only Milo and I were left in the room. "That happened." "I think Nina might have baited your girlfriend into that," he replied, grinning. "I gotta admit, I'm not...
IX. Showered with love
**IX. Showered with love** _As told by Milo_ We hit the road back to Northshore. Lily was determined to bring Nina and me home, but I wondered if she was going for 'soon' or for 'safe'. I closed my eyes, afraid to look at the road, although I...

I glanced up to the rearview mirror and saw that the hare indian was in the back, holding tightly to his girlfriend's paw, and shivering - not from the wet and the cold, either.
XVII. These games we play
**XVII. These games we play** _As told by Milo_ "You get yours at bedtime, right? Even though she agreed to play puppy with us, I don't want to force her too much," I replied, then turned to Lily. "For someone who isn't an infantilist, it's...
XIII. Darkest hour
**XIII. Darkest hour** _As told by Nina_ I was woken up by the sound of someone crying. At first, I thought Kaeden was having a mental breakdown, until I realized the source of the sound was much closer to me. I switched on the small lamp on the...
XII. No reception
**XII. No reception** _As told by Kaeden_ "Ow, Kaeden! Loosen up!" It took me a minute to get my wits back in the darkness. I hadn't even been aware I'd been squeezing my girlfriend's paw that tightly. With great focus, I forced myself to...
IV. In need of friends
**IV. In need of friends** _As told by Milo_ June. It's in the 'top three' in the 'Months I Don't Like'-category. My birthday and October are worse, but that's because of the emotional charge. I dislike June because most teachers and professors...
III. Reaching out
**III. Reaching out** _As told by Kaeden_ My ears flicked with anticipation as I pulled back into my driveway. We had a garage, but at the moment it wasn't useable. It was still full of boxes of our things that we hadn't yet brought in from our...
II. New beginnings
**II. New beginnings** _As told by Nina_ Friday morning in the last week of May. I woke up in a familiar bed that was not my own. Two weeks had passed since I had celebrated my boyfriend's birthday with him and his grandmother. We had a great...
