I walked into Lukas' Lab on a rather boring day to grab some flowercans. But of course, when is there ever a boring day in Aethasia? So I wasn't too surprised when Jacoby, Gloria, Emily, Pig, and Cinnar ran head-over-heels out of the lab, screaming "THIEF!" "TALKING CAT!!" "MIND CONTROL ALIEN CAT!!!"
Yep. Just another normal day. Except for the cat preening herself on a crate. I froze. Lukas' cat. Not the clone one, hopefully. "Here, kitty kitty." I sang. She glanced up at me. "Oh, hi Aislinn."
What.
"Are you talking? Miss Robot Cat? Or clone Cat? Because I'm pretty sure the illustrious and elusive Sprocket can't talk." "Who's Sprocket? I'm Katherine, and am neither clone nor robot."
"But....I was sure. Lukas told me....he told me his white kitten was named Sprocket. And yet, you are neither kitten nor white. You are a cat, and tortoiseshell." Wait... "Does Lukas have more than one cat?"
"Why of course. Who doesn't?"
Of course.
