Sweat dripped down his neck. "W-We don't have much food though. You're a hundred times bigger than us! You can't really expect us to get food for you! Just paying for your dinner was like paying for a new phone! We don't have that cash!" He now realized that he really shouldn't have made that offer. Him and Jack combined wouldn't be enough to make one meal for her.

she sighs " . .. then I guess I'll just have to go hunting. . . .but if I get some thing in time I'll still show up for a glass of milk

He wondered as to what she was going to "hunt" for. "We can get you a shot of milk, sure. A milk jug would work good, right?" He glanced at the bathroom door and wondered how Jack was doing. He figured that if he was going to crap himself from fear then he was on the best possible location.

Oh yeah that should be fine after the hunt I'll come back for breakfast like you promised"
*with those words she left then soon Jack the rabbit would come out of hiding "I can't believe you would do some thing like this waht on earth is wrong with you?"

Sparks shrugged sheepishly. "Well, uh... What part are you talking about? Befriending a giant fox or threatening you with the giant fox?" He shook his head. "She scared Tom off and gave me a ride home. She's cool."

"Both you jerk!" *he very lightly slaps you* "now she knows were we live and knows that you trust her to let her in the house any time"!

"It's not like she's gonna eat us! Or at least me. I'm too scrawny. And besides, it's illegal!" He knew that the MPLs didn't do a whole lot in the past, but figured it would at least deter the fox from snacking on them.

"And... She's kind of cute. For a pred, I mean." He scratched his neck. "Listen, she can fend off other predators that give us flak. She's got a freaking sword. And she's a nice girl. Seriously, despite the fact that we're food to her, she's very polite and courteous."

". . . ." *he looks at you and glares* "did you just say she's cute? .. . .CUTE!? are you kidding me! you have a crush on a predator!" *he slaps you* "what are you thinking!?"
*he starts walking around in a circle with worry on his face*

Sparks put up his hands in denial. "No, no! I just met her! I'm just saying she's rather attractive. A vixen, if you will." His arms were crossed. "I won't let her visit often. Promise. Just enough to keep away other preds." He didn't like the thought of using her like that, and hoped that maybe Jack would open up to Xena eventually.

Sparks went over for the balcony, closing the door and drawing the curtains closed. "Just give her a chance. Please."

Despite tha fact that he had a poor first impression with the fox, he knew she could be redeemed by acquainting her with society.

he folds his arms "Yeah right I believe you just noting that fact that she's a Vixen ea?" *he said in a very sarcastic tone of voice*
"yeah i'll give her a chance BUT on one condition I want a taser just in case"

Sparks sighed. "Sure. We'll get tasers and mace for self-defense," he said while cleaning up the things that were knocked over by Xena's intruding arm. "I'm sure she wouldn't like the taste of that."

Grabbing his backpack, he sat on the couch and sighed. "Shame she didn't eat my homework."

The rest of the evening was rather peaceful, with Sparks doing his school work, chores, and finally hogging the game system that night. It was Friday, so they expected to see Xena Saturday morning.

(time skip to then?)

(Sure. )

(I suppose I should go ahead and add my part while I wait for your reply.)

Sparks woke up early the next morning to get breakfast; poptarts and milk. Not many people were awake at seven in the morning on a Saturday, but he enjoyed watching the classic cartoons that came on at that time.

He pondered as to where Xena had slept that night and what -- no, more like who -- her breakfast would be. Hopefully a mugger or something. Someone that deserved it. The crime-biting vixen of justice.

An hour passed by with little occurrence.

after a wile Jack came down from his room walked out side then came back in with the news pepper after taking a look at it he said "hey Sparks come look at this"

'the new paper had a headline stating
"Blue Bird Missing! fox paw prints found at seance of crime!"
it then listed info about the time of day just 6 hours after Xena left your house and info about the blue bird anthro and his family as well as there number in case any one has found there sun*
just as you finish reading this you hear Xena knock at the door

Sparks snatched the paper out of Jack's hand and quickly read it over, walking to the balcony door and throwing it open. "Xena?! Are you responsible for this?!" He shoved the paper at her, infuriated.

He started to pace immediately on the balcony. "Xena, we have laws in this society. Rules. If you ate a random anthro off the street, you've basically murdered someone. And it's this kind of stuff that separates pred from prey; segregates us. It's just like the oppression of African Americans and women back when the humans reigned!"

she looked at the paper and surged ". . I can't read and I have little idea what your talking about I need to hurt to eat and I need to eat to live so if that's illegal than so is food"

He leaned over the balcony and looked down at her stomach, knowing it was a death trap for pretty much every micro he knew. "You need a job. Something that'll earn you money. Money means food. Also, feel free to eat any robbers or whatever. Those won't be missed."

This predicament he took surprisingly well, all things considered. It was uncommon to hear of micros getting eaten, but not unheard of. "Why don't you join a security company? I'm sure they could use you there. Someone who can use a sword would be awesome with a baton or laser blade."

Glancing behind him, he wondered what Jack made of this. Was he scared of becoming a late night snack?
