Anon from "college isn't so bad" helps a friend move in with him and Clara

\>Today was a weird day, that's for sure.

\>You hated moving, yet here you were, cleaning out your garage because Clara asked you to.

\>And who were you to say no to your lovely snow leopard wife?

\>Happy wife, happy life.

\>Happy husband doesn't have a rhyme because no one cares.

\>But she promised that she would make it worth your while.

\>And she would, that was for sure, she always did.

\>And so, you're sweeping the garage, waiting for Clara and Emi to arrive with the moving truck you and Emi loaded.

\>Emi had struck out too much, her last roommate had flaked and refused to sign up for a new lease.

\>As well as every guy she dated wasn't good enough, apparently.

\>After you and Clara had a date night with her, she had stuck to dating humans.

\>Guess you spoiled her too much.

\>Clara had made the decision that Emi needed to move in then.

\>While you don't mind, you wish she would have consulted you first.

\>Your spare room got emptied, and the extra furniture was going to be stored in the garage

\>Your buddy, the Chickenman "Chick" was coming over to help you move the heavy furniture.

\>You offered him his favorite beer "Alamo" and a favor.

\>While you weren't really "anonymous" like he was, you were a third generation Anon

\>As such, you were still able to use the infamous Anonymous Network.

\>Anonymous members were people, men and women who were transported from their world to this one.

\>And they stuck together once they got here, helping each other out.

\>Favors for favors, because some people came to this world with much, some with nothing.

\>Mechanic had apparently come with an entire vineyard and promptly sold it.

\>You hear the telltale vroom of a large truck engine coming down your street, and you walk out the open garage door...

\>Here they come with the truck, Clara driving and Emi driving her own car.

\>You can see Clara nervously holding her tail in her mouth as she drives.

\>Why she didn't let you drive the truck, you'll never know. 

\>She had never driven a truck like that before, but she wanted the experience.

\>Whatever, as long as she didn't hit anyone or anything.

\>You use your arms to direct her to the driveway as she backs up.

\>Emi parks on the street behind your El Camino.

\>Normally that would be in the garage, but you and Clara's hobbies were getting in the way.

\>Gun smithing equipment took up some space.

\>Chick was interested with that hobby, but then again he always had an arsenal on him.

\>As well when the mechanic learned that Lilith was barren, he borrowed one of the guns you made and spent all day shooting at targets.

\>His silent rage was apparent, he didn't talk to anyone or do anything beyond shoot those paper targets.

\>You couldn't blame him at all.

\>How could you?

\>He and Lilith had been trying for a long time, only to learn that something had messed her up.

\>How would you have reacted if you and Clara hadn't been able to have Lucatiel?

\>Probably the same.

\>Clara stops the truck at your motion, then parks it.

\>"Hi, love! I told you I could drive the truck!"

\>You smile and nod.

\>"You did, good job!"

\>She bounds over to you happily and gives you a big hug and a kiss.

\>You hear Emi walking up the driveway, sticks cracking under her boots.

\>"Hey Anon, thanks for giving me a place to stay for a while."

\>She gives you a hug and kisses your cheek.

\>You can't help but think her doing this greeting for you might be a factor in why her various human boyfriends didn't stay with her.

\>You recall once she actually kissed you in a greeting in front of one of her boyfriends...

\>THAT went over well.

\>"It's no problem Emi, you're like family."

\>As you go to let her out of your arms so you can start moving the small stuff, she grips you harder and gives you a kiss.

\>"No, really Anon, Clara said this was your idea, and I really appreciate it."

\>You peek over at Clara with a raised eyebrow...

\>She gives you a sneaky smile and a wink.

\>"Told you Anon is the best husband!"

\>Emi nods while looking into your eyes...

\>"Yes, he is," she says with a happy smile.

\>You suddenly feel VERY uncomfortable.

\>"Uh, let's see about unloading this truck..."

\>You peel away from the big cats and unlatch the truck's lock, then slide the door open.

\>Nothing too big, a couch and lazy boy chair, her mattress, and a few things you can carry alone, like a table and such.

\>The "spare" furniture would be stored in the garage.

\>"Babe, where's Lucatiel? It's almost her feeding time."

\>You point to a baby monitor on your workbench...

\>"She's napping, I put her to sleep about half an hour ago."

\>Clara goes inside, leaving you and Emi to start unloading the truck.

\>You knew that the small stuff was in the front, easy to get and move.

\>As you move the small things, you think about how convenient having Emi around will be...

\>She could easily babysit Lucatiel now when you had class and Clara had work.

\>Granted, she would before, but you had to drop her off at Emi's place, or Emi had to come to you.

\>You hear Emi tapping away at her phone, then hear music start, her phone connected to a small Bluetooth speaker.

\>Huh, the latest Gorillaz album? Not a bad choice, but you preferred Demon Days and Plastic Beach.

\>As you groove to Damon Albarn's voice, you hear the revving Of Chick's Pontiac.

\>You watch as he drives it around the cul-de-sac and parks behind Emi's car.

\>Chick and Jasmine get out of the car, a small baby bump on Jasmine as she looks positively radiant.

\>The big cats always have a certain glow of happiness when they're pregnant.

\>"Jasmine! What an unexpected surprise! I thought it was just Chick coming?"

\>She walks over and gives you a hug.

\>"I got off work to help! Couldn't let Chicky have all the fun!"

\>You frown.

\>"Nope! You aren't helping! No heavy lifting while preggo."

\>Chick walks up behind her, his eye patch still on.

\>"Told you he wouldn't let you help."

\>You shake Chick's hand calmly.

\>"Hey man, your beer is in the fridge, let me know when you're ready to tackle the heavy stuff."

\>He nods and heads inside with Jasmine...

\>You follow and motion to Emi to do the same.

\>Clara should be done feeding Lucatiel, and you're sure the mom-to-be wants to play with the cub.

\>Plus, you know Emi loves Lucatiel like she was Lucatiel's mother.

\>Jasmine is already fawning over the giggling cub when you get into the house.

\>Chick is fishing through the fridge for his beer.

\>"Yo, you want pizza? I'll order some New York style pizza from this local joint," you call to him.

\>"Oh, get me the anchovy pizza! Emi and I love that one!" Clara says as she passes a giggling Lucatiel over to Jasmine...

\>Jasmine tickles your cub's foot paws gently.

\>"Yeah man, just get whatever you get, I'm not picky," Chick says as he sits next to Jasmine on the couch.

\>You nod and leave the room, then order the pizzas.

\>As much as you want to get this moving stuff done, you still want to relax and hang out with your friends.

\>Between Chick and Jasmine's BHA stuff, you couldn't get everyone together all the time.

\>Even this was a stretch, Jasmine being able to show up was surprising...

\>Not that you were complaining.

\>Although as your family cat, Scooter, crawled her way into Chick's lap, you think Jasmine might.

\>Scooter and Jasmine had a weird rivalry you thought was hilarious.

\>Scooter would smell Jasmine on Chick and because "fuck you, I'm a cat," would begin rubbing her scent all over Chick.

\>You and Clara thought it was hilarious because Jasmine would then "subtly" rub her scent all over Chick again.

\>And the cycle would go on.

\>Although right now Jasmine was too busy to notice Scooter rubbing all over Chick's legs...

\>You get up and head to the garage again, letting them all catch up with each other.

\>Small stuff first, then the medium.

\>Before long, the pizza guy arrives and he heads right into the garage, where you pay.

\>No need to let your guests see the payment.

\>You head back into the house, carrying the pizzas.

\>Chick looks like he's on beer number 2, and the girls are all still talking happily about cubs and such.

\>Emi holds Lucatiel, who is attempting to get to Emi's breasts in her mouth, and Scooter sits in Chick's lap with Jasmine eyeing her angrily.

\>Scooter returns the glare.

\>"Hey all, pizza's here!"

\>You watch Clara bounce happily as you set the pizzas in the kitchen.

\>The group slowly gets up and meanders over getting pizza and enjoying company.

\>After a little while, Chick places a hand on your shoulder...

\>"Let's knock this heavy stuff out."

\>You nod, "Cool, let's go."

\>Even though chick is shorter than you, you know you can depend on him with this stuff.

\>Out of the bedroom comes the old mattress and the old bedframe...

\>Into the room goes Emi's bed frame, box spring, mattress, and dresser.

\>Everything else is pulled and stored into the garage.

\>Emi helped with most of the smaller stuff, Clara helped organize the room, and Jasmine kept an eye on Lucatiel.

\>She was getting the hang of this mom thing.

\>You're finished with the heavy stuff in about 45 minutes, and the not so heavy stuff within a few hours.

\>With everyone working together, it went quick.

\>You were grateful for Chick being able to help you out.

\>You're sure you and Emi could have done it, after all she was fit and even ran with you when she stayed over.

\>But you wanted an excuse to have your friends come over.

\>Not that you needed an excuse, but having them over was always a pleasure.

\>When you and Chick finish, you go back into your living room to Scooter and Jasmine glaring at each other.

\>Honestly, it's hilarious to see a big tiger gal staring down a housecat, and the housecat not backing down at all.

\>But still, you should break the tension.

\>You walk over to Scooter, pick her up, and put her outside.

\>Sorry kitty, you'll get some tuna later.

\>Clara is already next to Jasmine.

\>You sit next to her and Emi sits next to you.

\>Chick grabs another beer and sits next to Jasmine.

\>It's a shame Lilith and the mechanic couldn't come hang out, but Lilith had classes and the mechanic had to work.

\>Clara and Jasmine coo at Lucatiel when Jasmine's phone rings, causing the cub to cry.

\>"Oh! Oh, no! Sorry! I have to take this, it's my work phone!" she says in a panic, passing Lucatiel to Clara.

\>You watch as Clara calms down the crying cub and Jasmine picks up her phone.

\>It's always weird to hear one side of an important conversation.

\>"Huh? Yeah? NO! No, no, no! I'll be there shortly! DON"T LET HIM GO!"

\>Jasmine hurriedly hangs up and stands up.

\>"I'm so, SO sorry, but we have to go, the BHA found an Anonymous member who's been homeless for years and is terrified of Anthros, I have to go!"

\>Chick stands up quickly, setting down his half-drunken beer.

\>"OK, let's go, Jasmine." He says, suddenly serious.

\>You stand with them and help them out to their car.

\>As important as this call was, you hate to see them leave.

\>Clara gives Jasmine a big hug, you shake Chick's hand, and everyone says their goodbyes.

\>Jasmine drives, and Chick is in the passenger seat as they pull away...

\>You stand and watch them go.

\>It's a shame they had to go, but finding a homeless guy from the other world is huge.

\>Jasmine had told you the stories of some of the people who appeared in this world.

\>Some appears thousands of feet up, some were babies, some where just children who didn't understand.

\>You frown, thinking about it as you walk back into the house.

\>Emi sits with Lucatiel, teasing and playing with the giggling cub.

\>"Well, it's just us now, glad we got that all knocked out," you say calmly as you sit down.

\>Clara sits next to you and Emi scoots closer to you.

\>Well now, this doesn't seems weird at all.

\>One guy with 2 big cats and a cub.

\>Seems like a weird sit-com...

\>But it's your life, and you can't complain.

\>Although you can't see Emi's dating situation getting ANY better with her living with you...

\>You know that Clara doesn't mind that though, and Emi probably doesn't either.

\>For the rest of the evening, you all relax and enjoy each other's company, talking about Clara and Emi's job as nurses.

\>The things they see at work is sometimes funny.

\>Sometimes Clara comes home with her fur matted with blood and you have to help wash her.

\>At about 19:00 (7:00 pm), you put Lucatiel down to bed.

\>Emi and Clara are sitting and talking to each other quietly about something when you return to the living room.

\>"What are you two whispering about over there?" you say as you sit down next to them.

\>They look at you then back at each other.

\>Oh god, they're scheming up something...

\>"Well, we were thinking that since you did such a good job moving stuff..." Clara starts.

\>"And because you were so nice to let me move in..." Emi says after her.

\>"...you deserve a treat," they finish together.

\>If that means what you think it means, then you're in for a fun night.
