'in fact, I met my friend cynder there" Dixie said, contuing the conversation.. "The cAfe was invaded by creatures called Shurlups, can we had a heck of time getting rid of them.."

"I took a picture of them. This was during another show, after the cat had changed costumes." Jason said, fishing into his pocket and pulling out a small digital frame that looked like a large playing card that he switched to the cat picture passed to Sara. She looked at it.

"He looks cute in his little top hat and cane." Sara said.

"That was only one of the costumes and types of dances he would do. Sometimes he'd do other types also." Jason said.

When was this?' Veemon asked, as the waiter came with water and sodas for the table.. "It sounds like fun.."

Kor · **Reply #1563 on:** March 30, 2009, 01:34:05 AM

Jason took a sip of his water then of his soda. "I think either 1 or 2 years ago maybe. " Jason said. "Terran time, I'm not sure how long ago my personal time, maybe 3-6 hundred years. Hard to keep track of personal time when you travel around in time."

Sara nods, "it certainly is. "

Guilmon drank is water quickly then sipped his soda, giggling at the bubbles as he did sometimes. "I'd like to see a dancing cat & the dog." Guilmon, "Sounds like fun."

We'd have to ask the owner guy.. what was his name .. nIck wasn't it?' Veemon said with a strong lisp... "Maybe he can get those guys to do a show for us..."

Kor · **Reply #1565 on:** March 30, 2009, 01:47:00 AM

"I'm not sure who the owner is." Jason said.

"I know it's not me, nor one of the corporations that I own." Odysseus said.

"I wonder if it may be Tarrax or Stripetail." Sara said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1566 on:** March 30, 2009, 01:52:24 AM

No, the owner of the insane cafe.. the one you were just talking about" Veemon tried to clarify...with not much sucess.. 'i guess I'll ask once we get to the hotel.."

"So guys, what're you gonna order?" Genki asked his friends, as all three of them were seated at a table.

"Hmmm... Well, I was thinking about trying a mixed drink," Tigress announced.

Genki had grabbed a mint from a side table when they'd come in, and had been shifting it around his mouth, but when Tigress has said that, he made a sudden noise, and started choking on it. Tiger jabbed him in the back, and he managed to cough it up, right into Tiger's bowl of water.

(Cough) "Thanks," he managed to say.

"Yeah, no problem..." he replied, staring at his water that had already gotten clouded.

"Do you realize what's in a mixed drink?" Genki asked her.

"Well, I suppose it depends on what the eating place has," she answered.

"Yeah but, are you sure you understand about a certain ingredient you'll always find in one?" he questioned.

Tigress sighed. "I suppose you're right. Getting a mix of all the sodas here would have too much caffeine for anyone, I suppose. Well, I'll just get one without Mountain Dew, since I heard that drink has even more of it than the equivalent amount of coffee."

"You were just talking about- sodas?" Genki asked.

"Well of course, silly! I can't mix in juice, since it would take away part of the carbonation, and I do love that sizzling and crackling sensation on my tongue. Secondly, adding milk or coffee to soda sounds absolutely yucky, and with a capital "y" at that," she replied, matter-of-factly. Then she chuckled. "Why? What did you think I was going to mix?"

"Well, a mixed drink means that it has alc- oof!" Genki was cut off by his side being jabbed by Tiger.

Tigress was now scanning the menu for a food item, so Tiger whispered, "We've been having enough trouble since she found out about caffeine. I wouldn't suggest that you tell her about somthing that will end up giving me more of a headache."

"Oh, right," he said back quietly. "So, what are you going to drink?"

"Ale. Haven't had that in a while. I can get pretty wild with that too, so be prepared."

"Uh..."

"Learn to recognize sarcasm! Did you really think I would get impaired while having to protect you two?" he asked Genki loudly.

"Wow Tiger. You're making sacrifices for us?" Tigress asked him, no longer interested in the menu.

"... You two give me no choice. You always hang around me and can't seem to fend for yourselves," he answered gruffly.

"Meaning, you feel responsible to make sure we stay safe?" she asked him. Tiger said nothing.

"Are you just practicing for becoming fatherly some day?" she joked. Again, Tiger remained silent.

"Really though, you don't need to worry about us all the time. What could possibly happen that makes you makes you so paranoid all the time?" she asked, although still with a hint of humor. When Tiger still didn't answer, she said, "Your mouth must be pretty dry. Here, you can have some of my water. Yours looks a little white." She picked up her bowl with her paws and added, "Be on your guard though; this bowl has a sharp edge that might cut me."

That did it. Tiger rose from his seat, knocking the bowl away so that it fell to the ground, shattering into many pieces. Others in the cafe turned and stared. "Dang it girl! I am tormented enough with images of my pack getting killed before my very eyes as I stood there, helpless! Does that sound very funny to you? Is watching the comrades you've grown up with slaughtered right in front of your face seem like a laughing matter? If you find it so strange that I don't want to lose friends again, then go some place where nobody cares! But wait, you might step on a rock and cut your paw! I'd better leave myself," as he turned to storm away from them yet again.

Tigress stood up, and opening her mouth to speak, yelled, "Blizzard!" The icy power from her horns hit the door of the cafe directly, encasing it in thick ice.

Tiger turned to her. "You have ten seconds to open that-" he stopped as Tigress marched right up to him, getting in his face.

"Our kind has lightning and ice powers, right?"

"What does that have-"

"Right!?"

"Uh, yeah..."

"Can either of those powers be used to read minds?"

"I-"

"You never told me about your old friends, so when I started talking like that, it was YOUR fault for not stopping me until you exploded like that! Did you think I would magically learn about you if keep silent?"

"I-"

"You what? Letting you run off every time you don't want to talk is separating us besides just physically. Why won't you face me like you do with your foes?"

Tiger could not believe he'd pushed her this far. He hadn't even realized until now how badly he had been coming across. He looked at her for a bit, finally putting serious thought into what he's been feeling about her.

"Take down your ice down right now," he told her. She stared at him incredulously until he added, "Then let's go for a walk."

"Why should I? tiger, if you want a relationship.."
_ I don't want a relationship" Tiger replied shortly "My job to protect you and genki.. nothing more..' He turned to the ice-covered door "Lightning" the blast broke through the ice and opened the door, unfortunately, the doors fell inward. "Come on" Tiger said shortly "Come on.. or I go off my myself..
_
GUys? I can't exactly pay for fixing the door" Genki called out. 'Guys.. GUYs! his calls were ignored, as first Tiger than tigress walked out of the resteraunt. Two waiters picked the doors up off the ground, and kicked the pieces of ice outside. with an effort, they pushe the doors back in place..
_
"That guys a real jerk" Dixie said, her teeth bared. "If I was Tigress, I'd slap him right in the face! She didn't mean any harm.."

Nick22 · **Reply #1569 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:20:02 AM

Tiger, once he was outside the resteraunt , took off at a quick pace.. The conforntation with Tigress had been heated, and well... she HAd started to grow.. no.. no Tiger shook his head.. the last thing he needed was a female wolf wanting a relationship with him. he figured he knew how that would end. First would come the kissing, then sharing a bed, and after that she'd want to get married and have kids.. well, Tiger was having none of that.. He had kissed her once, and only once.. and Tiger was not going to kiss her again, if he could help it..
Tigeress soon caught sight of him.. 'this was supposed to be a walk, not a %k run!' she said, as she slowky pulled up with him.. "Tiger! TIGER! Slow Down!' she said, and recieved a sharp glance in response.. "Look, I didn't know you had all those bad things happen to you in your past... and how can i expect to know such things if you don't tell me? I'm not pyschic, Tiger, you have to tell me these things.." Tiger glared at her again. "You ust ran out on genki, by the time we get back our food will be cold! All I wanted was nice evening out, like at the theather..
_
You were bouncing and yammering there too?' Tiger said turning from her and looking ahead. Tigress now jkept pace with him, as the blocks flew by. "I care about you Tiger...' She began ....Here it comes Tiger thought.. "If you say 'i love you" Tigress, I'm staying as far away from.' Tigress finally had had enough 'SHUT UP!' She said, tackling Tiger and the two of them tumbled and rolled down the alleyway... in this particular alleyway was a old weathered sofa.. it had been thrown out by the nearby occupant, and just left there. It was this sofa that would be the two monsters final destination, as they fought and rolled onto the sofa, with Tiger, being the larger and stronger of the twioo, finally coming out on top.. they rolled onto the sofa, and stopped, Tiger on top of Togeress, and he looked down upon her, seething with fury.

Jason shook his head, "the way those 2 go on, I think I'll take a vacation from this time period. Maybe go & have some tea with the dinosorceress and dinosorcerer. " Jason said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1571 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:37:17 AM

Ignore those two" Veemon shook his head.. Lets eat.. and enjoy our food,..."

Scooby drove Spyro and the others back to the hotel, which took about a hald\f hour..

Stripetail during this time, had investigated the lab, and was making his way up the stairs to join dEcade and Tsusaka...

"Let's hope we can." Moran said.

"I do hope we can." Jason said.

"How cute, he can moonwalk also." Sara said, having had the picture go to moving mode so it could show some clips."

Jason nodded, "He knows many dances. I don't think here's a dance he doesn't know." Jason said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1573 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:55:54 AM

Shaggy drove the Pelvainda group bacj to the hotel. Ahead of them. Nani was leading Lilo, Stitch and Angel to thier rooms. 'It's time for bed Lilo... Its late" Nani was saying as she climbed the stairs..

Kor · **Reply #1574 on:** March 30, 2009, 01:31:23 PM

Jason's group put in their order once the waitress came by. Once done they put away the menus. Sara gave back the digital picture frame to Jason who put it away.

Tsukasa opened a dust-covered chest and began digging though it. It looked to be filled with old war items mostly. He pulled out an old-fashioned pistol and tossed it to Yuusuke. "Maybe you should hang onto that?"

The pistol appeared to be in good condition, though of course it didn't have any ammo, but that didn't matter. He stuffed the weapon into his coat pocket.

-----------------------------

"It sounds confusing," B.G. frowned, not quite following Tai's explanation of the game.

Nick22 · **Reply #1576 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:18:17 PM

If i have a higher vale card, say I have a 8, and you have 7, I take both cards..
_
The waiter came to the table with drinks. "Have you figured out what you want for dinner, Cynder?' Dixie asked.

Drake · **Reply #1577 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:33:17 PM

Tsukasa ruffled through the trunk's contents for a bit more, finding nothing that linked it to the hotel owner. He slammed the lid closed. He glanced back to find a forlorn-looking Yuusuke fingering the pistol in his coat pocket. "What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Yuusuke snapped out of his daze. He attempted to smiel and removed his hand from his pocket. "Nothing."

"Then help me search," Tsukasa said.

--------------------------------

"So the objective is to get the cards," B.G. said.

-----------------------------------

"I guess I'll have the breaded catfish," Cynder said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1578 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:37:12 PM

That looks good. I'll have some of that too' Dixie smiled."mS. Swimmer, have you picked out what you want yet.." she asked. As the appetizers arrived.
_
Yep the object to get all the cards. The Aces are mpst important, as I said, the more of those you have, the better your chances are of winning. there are 4 of each card in the deck, a total of 52 cards. so in a two player game, each gets 26" Tai explained.

Stripetrail founf the kicked in door and climbed up the stairs. "Found anthing yet?' He asked

Drake · **Reply #1579 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:49:07 PM

Cynder reached for a piece of calamari and popped it into her mouth. "Mmm!"

-------------------------------------

"I know that much," B.G. said, shooting a glare at Tai.

--------------------------------------

"Nothing related to the mystery yet," Tsukasa replied, turning a hairbrush over in his hands. "We had a few problems to take care of, so we haven't been searching for long."
