"And fight my way past the cats? I'll wait." She snickered a little, looking back over that way. Some of the cats had moved on, but others lingered, casually sniffing the new addition to the driveway. "They aren't half that interested in your truck..." |

"Maybe. Could be the color though... we already know they see color better than most Terran cats." The cats slowly lost interest in their investigation, and soon only two remained near the car. Figuring it was safe to approach, she headed that way, capturing a curious cub on her way over and picking him up before he could go underneath the vehicle. "That is not safe," she told the cub, patting his head as she got a closer look at her new toy. |

He smiled as he followed her, he then noticed that all the cats looked at the same direction at the same time and it was behind them and to his surprise, Buttercup came running over the grass and a cave cat stuck to her back as if she was driving the horse. |

"Damn it, Spunky. Stop taking the horse out of the pen when we're not home... some farmer is going to think you're killing her and shoot you." Clio giggled a little when Buttercup suddenly stopped short, staring at the new car. Instead of getting spooked, the big horse edged a little closer and sniffed the 'new thing' before turning and trotting a short distance away. "...that is not my horse. My horse is skittish and would have bolted... Spunky's a better influence than we though." |

"Seems like it. She was jumpy and kind of weird until Spunky started hanging out in the horse pen. Didn't help that Pepper didn't really want to socialize with her... they tolerate each other, but they don't really play." The cub she was holding squirmed out of her grip, belly flopping on the ground and then taking off to join the other cubs that were gathering around Buttercup's feet. "I'm starting to feel like we run a cave cat farm..." |

"Is that a bad thing?" he smiled. "but your horse was an adult when we got Spunky, buttercup was a foal..." |

"Technically they're both fillies... Pepper won't be a mare for another year. But she's old enough that Buttercup annoyed her a lot when I first put them together. I used to get a lot of 'mom, come save me' looks. Same look Murphy gives me if Spunky sits on him." |

"I can't drive it without the key." She couldn't help laughing a little at the expression on his face, but something told her he wasn't joking. "Wait... you do have the key, right?" |

"Oh... well... I guess I won't be driving it for a while then. I'm taking a day or two off from work anyway, no big deal." |
