Fox gets home to his empty apartment. It was a nice place but since his folks were no longer alive the place seemed lonely. That was part of why he wanted a pet. He sat down on his couch and watched some TV with Blue. The lil kit watched with him fascinated by this strange box with sounds and pictures.

After a lil while Fox got a lil sleepy and noticed his kit was too. So he turned off the TV and laid down on the couch with Blue to take a nap. He set his alarm to wake him before six.

Fox snoozes on dreaming of brighter happier days. His thumb finds it's way to his mouth in his sleep and Blue snuggles more into him.

i wonder if he would just want to live here" she thinks to hersefl

Before too long Fox's alarm woke him to Blue licking his face playfully. Fox smiled and cuddled the lil fox as he got up. "Well time to head out Blue." He told the kit as they left for Kari's place.

Fox reaches the apartment and rings the door bell smiling.

she opens the door and smiles* :come on in fox and make you self comfty"

"Thanks. It's nice to have dinner with somebody instead of alone at home." Fox said walking in and looking around.

"Sure go right ahead." Fox said fining a seat in the living room.

fox would you and your pet be willing to move in here with me"

Fox went silent for a moment. "You...you really wouldn't mind us staying with you?" He asked in disbelief.

i would love it if you two moved in"

Fox's face practically lit up. He got up from his seat and hugged Kari smiling even if he did only come up to her waits. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
