From: none@beseen.com (Quimoe)
"I've been thinking, I've been thinking that perhaps I
shouldn't practice magic as much as I had been before in light on
what happened. I know it was planned and all, but I wouldn't want
to put anyone in danger again."
"We should probably both be careful for a while," Quimoe agreed,
setting down a dish of milk for Nan, "and keeping any objects with
magical powers locked up would be a good idea too."
Sar, meanwhile, was swaying slightly as she conferred with ME!
about what to sing next.
"Maybe she shouldn't have any more to drink," Kathye suggested.
Quimoe grinned, "It's the power of suggestion. She's only had hot
chocolate. It was either that or let her feel guilty about
everything Alan did."
Just then, Sar began to sing, solo and very loudly, "Oh, we're on
the good ship Venus..."
With lightning reflexes, Quimoe whammied her to sleep and caught
her as she slumped from the table. As he carried her to the
stairs, he caught Alinora's look. "Tomorrow," he promised. "I'll
ease up on the Force stuff tomorrow."

ME! found that after Sar had suddenly gone to sleep it wasn't
as
fun to sing anymore. She jumped off the table and walked over to
Kathye and Flora. She cleared her throat nervously.
"Um... well I've got something to say... Um, wait Alinora should
hear this too.
Alinora? Can you come over here? And bring Nan too, she's also
part of this."
Flora looked very worried and ME! picked up Nan and began
petting her for support.
"You know that Nan and I are up alot at the castle, I mean we
got jobs there and everything... Well Claire gave us new jobs,
she made me and Nan something called 'Captain of Guys Spies'-"
"You're a Spy?" cried Kathye shocked.
ME! nodded miserably. "Yeah... and... and our first job was to
spy here... on the bakery.
"You spied on us? On US!" Kathye flew up from her chair.
"Kathye sit down, I think we should finish listening." said
Flora, frowning.
"-So I dressed up like a German noblewoman, you know Helga...
But it was really hard spying on my friends and all I wanted to
do was to wipe the dishes in the kitchen, but Helga couldn't do
that and when Alinora was going to show me to a room I just
wanted to go to my own room. And when you and Flora said hello I
couldn't go on pretending... that's why Helga ran out... it's
hard pretending not to know you friends..."
"Well I should think so!" said Kathye.
"I'm sorry, I really am. I just took the job because Claire
won't give me the 'Captain of the Guards' title for real and Nan
needed a title too." ME! sank down into a chair, drying her
tears on Nans fur.

ME! was sitting by the fire thoughtfully carving away little
twigs off of her oak branch.
Everything in her attic room had been destroyed when the roof
had fallen in during the fire. Her mother had been very upset
when ME! had gone up to the castle and told her. Her mother had
shouted and sworn when she relized that all their money they had
gotten off ME!s father was gone and, it had been a minor
fortune. But it ME! relized that they really had more than
they'd ever need here in Nottingham. But it was a shame that all
those pretty dresses had burnt up, but then again, when could
she use them? They were rather unpractical in the Bakery, and
people knew her to well at the castle now, so she couldn't fool
them that she was a forgien Lady anymore.
ME! was at glad that she had her most important things safe
though; the enormous key-ring, with keys for all the locks at
the castle and probaly to quite a few more places, and her most
important documents telling exactly who she was and what she
could do.
Her chainmail and sword had been very melted. ME! wasn't very
happy about that, but maybe it was time for a new look. She
examined the branch it had saved them all in Sherwood. With some
oil and a good polish it would make a decent club. But she
couldn't wear a uniform with a wooden club. And she couldn't
wear the skirt she had around the bakery. ME! knew how to fence
and fight in a dress, but it wouldn't look right.
ME! held up her club to the firelight. ME! grinned. ME! was
thinking leather.

Kathye woke up the morning after the celebration party and
stumbled out of bed. She stopped in the doorway and looked back
at her bed. Empty. Good.
After a long shower in the hidden 20th century bathroom, she
went doorstairs for tea. As she walked past the fire, she
noticed that there were oak shavings on the floor there. Odd.
She was a little puzzled not to see Nan in the kitchen, asking
for breakfast. Well, cat's would do as cat's will do.
She took her cup of tea out into the backyard and sat in the
morning sun, enjoying this fall day. This was nice. She could
definitely get used to peace and quiet like this.

tenses all her muscles, tail swishing gently and then she leaps
down into the kitchen, accompanied by crashes and bangs as she
upsets pots and pans and other kitchen items.
The small cat races around the kitchen, claws scrabbling on the
wood as she bounds around, stopping, crouching, leaping,
running.
She knocks a bag of flour over, the white powder
flying everywhere, including all over the tabby*

ME! woke early, and felt for the first time in a very long time,
rested and well awake. Strange, she thought, since she had been
up all night sewing.
Downstairs, she smelt some of the days first bread and guessed
that it was probaly Kathye, making herself breakfast. ME! was
glad that she had been forgiven so quickly. She herself probaly
felt worst about her 'treason'.
Suddenly the was a loud crash and bang from the kitchen. ME!
bounded done the stairs, quick as a whirlwind. It would just be
too much if someone trashed the place again.
Something ran past her feet, and bounced and climbed and knocked
into everything possible. ME! saw Kathye standing in the doorway
with her hands clamped over her ears.
ME! lunged after the little white figure. After much squirming
she had it tightly in her arms. She carried it over to Kathye.
"Look! It's Nan."
"Nan!" cried Kathye. "What're you doing? What wrong? Why've you
trashed my kitchen?"
ME! set the cat done on a table. "She's wearing her cloak.
Something must be happening at the castle. I think we should go
wake Alinora. She can tell us what Nan's on about."
She picked the cat up again and made to leave the room.
"Er, ME!," said Kathye. "Aren't you a little cold?"
"No, why?"
"Um, you look a little... bare."
ME! raised and eyebrow.
"...for being Autumn?"
ME! turned away smiling. "I'm not cold at all."
"Okay. Nice shade of leather. And, uh, I like the bits of
chainmail."

Alinora was just coming down the stairs rubbing sleep out of her
eyes and feeling more refreshed than she remembered feeling in
days, when she heard a commotion in the direction of the kitchen.
She had just stepped off the last step when she ran into ME! with
a white cat in her eyes with Kathye behind her. Alinora looked a
second time and noticed that it was actually Nan that ME! was
holding. "What's going on?" she questioned mostly to the
cat. "And why in the world are you in such a hurry. Calm down and
speak slower," she said after a second of listening and not
comprehending much.

Sar wandered blearily down the stairs and through the kitchen,
oblivious to the others in the room. Even after the best night's
sleep, she was still not a morning person. She looked
suspiciously at the hot chocolate canister for a moment, then
fixed herself a cup of ginger-cinnamon tea instead. She stood
inhaling the fumes from the tea for a moment, then turned and saw
the others.
"G'morning" she said, then made her way to the chair by the fire.
She passed by ME! en route, and paused.
"That's a good look for you."

ME! glared at the cat, rubbing her arm. "Nan, that's not nice.
You know that the way you treat ME! I treat you."
Nan eyed the woman and wondered if she should bite her again.
There was certainly a lot more bare skin on her than Nan
remembered. But then again someone dressed head to foot in
leather, looking like that was prehaps not the kind you'd want to
upset.
ME! sighed and turned to Alinora, and said, "I need to talk with

followed Alinora up the stairs back to one of the rooms on the
second floor which Alinora, contrary to what she had promsied
before, had used a tiny winny bit of magic to add three rooms to

"Well," she began. "You know I know a lot of things, and I've
travelled quite a bit too, but I've never known magic."
"Oh, no ME!," began Alinora. "I'm not supposed to do any more
magic right now. And I can't teach it."
"Just a little," pleaded ME!. I don't want to learn a whole
lot... it's just it's so hard talking to Nan. She and I work so
much together, it's a bit hard when she just meows all the time.
And frankly I don't quite trust her." ME! grinned. "And she's
just got as much reason not to trust me.
Can't you help me a little? It's called telepathy isn't it? I
know latin, if it helps to learn magic."

think that I'd mind teaching you a bit of magic here and there,
provided of course that the other resident magic user here
agrees," she added on. "And then, I can't promsied that youo'll

They got there just in time to see Dave the Carter fall
head-first into a pile of leaves. Dan soon joined him on the
ground. "They asked Quimoe to teach them hand-to-hand fighting,"
Sar explain, as Dave picked himself up, only fall down again.
"He's teaching people how to fight?" Kathye asked, surprised.
Sar shrugged, then winced as Dan and Dave collided in mid-air.
"He's only showing them defensive moves, I think. There's this
girl up in York, and her family isn't too keen on having Dave as
an inlaw. She wants to run away with him, but they'll have to
get past her brothers first. Isn't it romantic?" Sar sighed as

apologetic, and meekly consented to go get washed up when Sar

Kathye looked at her curiously. "What was that all about?"
"Quimoe's being sent on assignment," Sar said, pushing the tray
aside and leaning against the table. "They want him to go to the

*turns and hisses at Quimoe, feeling suddenly in a very bad mood,
fo no apparant reason to humans. She jumps to the floor and bats
at the hem of his pants/robe (or whatever he happens to be
wearing) occasionally her tiny claws scrapping against his ankle*
I'm always reliable you good for nothing human! Don't ever
call my communication unreliable again!!! It's not -my- fault you
stupid pathetic humans don't listen! it's always talk talk talk
with you, isn't it?!!!
*she spits the words out feircely, not
caring whether he understands a word of what she's saying to him,
feeling very moody suddenly*

Nan's scrabbling and hissing suddenly stopped, as she found
herself rising into the air. She looked around, and discovered
that she was floating in mid-air, eye level with the Jedi who
regarded her calmly. She tried swiping at his face, but she was
dangling too far away. Quimoe simply waited in silence for the
temper tantrum to cease.
"Thank you, Nan, for illustrating my point," he said, then turned
back to the cupboard. Nan was working up a good yowl when she
found herself being floated over to the safety of ME!'s
shoulder.

Kathye walked into the kitchen from the Back Room, and collapsed
into a chair.
"I thought my parents would never leave! Sorry I've been gone so
long, but I wasn't able to get away from them to come back here.
Instead it was just endless football (American) and loud,
oft-repeated stories."
She looked around at ME! and Alinora.
"Sar said something about ME! learning telepathy, so she could
talk with Nan? I think that's a great idea, as long as no one
goes around talking to animals in the street. Being on trial as a
witch once in my lifetime was enough."

ME! breathed out in relief, "This is really great. Isn't it
Nan?." The cat glared at ME!. "Oh, come on, if I'll be able to
read your mind then you probaly be able to read mine. I'm not
doing this without any sacrifices on my part.
So, Alinora when can we begin my lessons?"

*with a hiss she digs her claws into ME!'s shoulder and then
jumps onto the floor. SHe looks up at the human's and then heads
towards the door. She sits down infront of it, meows loudly and
then starts leaping at it, trying to get the mesage across. She
lands with her feet against the door and then pushes off, doing
this manuver over and over again until somebody lets her
out*
Hello? Let me out over here!! If I don't get out this moment I'm
gonna make sure I give each and every one of you a nice little
present on your pillows!! I mean it!!!!!! Fur ball, dead
mouse...you never know what I might feel like leaving!! OPEN THE
DOOR!!!
*yowls at the top of her lungs and smashes her whole side
into the door, causing a loud thud*

Kathye walked quickly over to the door.
"Easy there, Nan. I'll let you out."
Kathye opened the door, and there was a sudden blur of fur.
"Perhaps I should think of installing a kitty door here."

From: none@beseen.com (Sar)
Sar came trundling down the stairs, carrying her own cloak,
Quimoe's and a pack slung over her shoulder. She deposited them
by the door, then helped herself to a glass of spiced wine.
Quiome began to say something, but was cut off by a rather sharp
glare. Sar drained the glass, refilled it, then cleared her
throat.
"I know it's not quite Samhain yet, but we have to leave soon, so
I wanted to wish you all a happy new year now. So here's a song
that I learned from Kathye, of all people..." Sar smirked, then
raised her glass, and began to sing.
We have been weighed down by sadness like a stone
We have yearned, we have yearned
We have sometimes felt so utterly alone
While we turned, while we turned
We've been stricken by the wonder of it all
Stricken dumb, stricken dumb
We have sometimes felt so faint we want to fall
Overcome
But all in all
I'd say this year in flight together has been fun
What say we make one more circle round the sun?
We have raised our fists in anger and we've tried
To work it out, work it out
That we need each other we cannot deny
There is no doubt, there is no doubt
Let us leave another dream in outer space
While we're turning, while we're turning
On this planet home that holds our human race
We still are learning
But all in all
I'd say this year in flight together has been fun
What say we make one more circle round the sun?
I'd say this year in flight together has been a good, good one
What say me make one more circle
One more circle
One more circle round the sun.
Happy New Year/Samhain/Hallowe'en everyone!

Alinora tapped her finger on the table as she watched Nan scurry
out of the door and listened to the cat's complaining in her
mind. "I suppose as soon as possible ME!," Alinora replied, "But
I wonder, have you asked Nan if this is okay with her?"

"Well, if she didn't say anything to you then I don't know." ME!
found a towel and wiped of the blood on her shoulder. "As, for
this," she said referring to the scratch-marks, "It can mean
anything. Nan seems to like to scratch me alot. All the time."
ME! turned to Sar who was just heading out the door. "Goodbye, I
hope you'll have fun where ever you're off to."

Kathye leaned back in her chair, sipping on her apple cider. A
part of her was wishing that they could have had a big party
tonight, but another part (the more practical side) was happy
with the quiet evening.
There was something to be said for quiet nights, with no crazed
bards or rampaging townsfolks or fires. Well, no fires except
for the ones in the proper fireplaces.
But especially, quiet nights were good because it meant there
were no trick-or-treaters. She reached for the bowl filled with
small chocolate bars, then looked around to see if anyone else
was looking.
Heh heh heh. All the more for me.
