 I woke up with Vanilla curled up next to me, and Raven and Lemon curled up on the floor. I smiled and gently rubbed Vanilla's head, and carefully sat up. I covered her with the blanket and went downstairs. There was a postman, he had another fancy letter. I cracked it open. It was the host of the first party. He was extremely satisfied with our performance, and he wanted even more cakes. I went back upstairs and unlocked my gun case. I grabbed my tuxedo and the other two holsters and I attached them to the belt of my suit, and tucked the knife into one of the pockets of the overcoat. I hung up my tuxedo and locked up my gun case. I left the letter on the table and went back to sleep with Vanilla. A few hours later I woke up to Vanilla gently shaking me. I sat up and kissed her and then had Raven and Lemon come out to the living room. Kashou was planning the making of the cakes and I planned to make the food again. I was done in a few weeks but making and decorating cakes takes some time. I helped make the cakes to speed up the process. After a few months it was the day before the party so we took some time to rest. Raven and Lemon were both about 10 months old now, Raven looked like a slightly shorter intact female version of me, she was about Kashou's height now. Lemon looked like a male version of Vanilla but he was about 5 feet tall. I was worn out so I went upstairs and took off my boots and my shirt and went to take a nap, Vanilla came in a few minutes later and joined me, I gently stroked her head and then we fell asleep. The next day I woke up much earlier than everyone else and I changed into a clean pair of clothes.

(Because he sleeps in his jeans. Why? Because he's cool like that. Also sleeping in jeans can be quite comfortable if they're loose enough.)

I grabbed my gun case and brought it out to my motorcycle. I unlocked my gun case and pulled out my combat knives and my fancy saber like dagger, sticking them in one of the bags on my motorcycle. I grabbed my DP-12 and shortened the strap so I could strap it across my waist and have it up against my back horizontally so no-one could see it easily, and the grabbed my lever action rifle and slid it into my motorcycle holster. I brought the cakes and the food to the party and got it all setup in half an hour, and then went back home. It was still an hour until everyone would wake up, so I lay back down with Vanilla. She murmured something about me being warm, and I gently rubbed her head and lay awake for a while. Everyone woke up and I made breakfast. Cinnamon, Maple, Coconut, Azuki, and Aries all arrived at the shop. The catgirls all began working while me, my brother, Raven, and Lemon all sat down. "Who is he?" Raven asked, gesturing toward my brother. "Oh yeah I guess you haven't met him yet. And he hasn't met you, so perhaps I should introduce you to my brother." I said. "This is Aries, my brother." I told them. "Aries, these are my kids, Raven, and Lemon." I said. He nearly choked on his tea. "WAIT WHAT!? YOU HAVE KIDS?" He exclaimed, surprised. He seemed jealous. "You have a catpanion, a girlfriend (his situation with Cinnamon is a bit awkward, he loves both of them but he loves Vanilla more.) , AND two kids." He said, with a glare at me. "Hey it's not my fault they like me, I just do my job, and they seem to admire me for it, even Azuki, although she tries her best to hide it." I said with a snicker. Lemon got off of my lap and went over to sit with my brother. "Hey at least my son likes you." I said. "Your kids have grown quite well." he said. "Oh yeah do you have a tuxedo, or a dress shirt and pants? I was thinking maybe you could come to this party with all of us." I said. "Sure." He replied. "Okay then the party starts about half an hour after we close." I said. Raven's stomach rumbled. "You sound hungry, I'll go get you some food." I said as I headed upstairs to make a couple sandwiches. I came back down with a couple sandwiches and I handed Raven one and handed the other to Lemon, they ate them quickly and then Raven walked over to Kashou and started talking to him. (I just realized I haven't gone into detail describing Raven or Lemon. I'll do that now before I forget.) Raven was appearance-wise similar to Coconut but she had brown eyes like me and she was Kashou's height, her hair was black like mine, and usually pulled back into a ponytail with the bangs left out (Like Vanilla) and her outfits consisted of a black tank top, black jeans, a dark crimson jacket, and black combat boots similar to mine. Lemon's outfits consisted of a white tee-shirt, normal blue jeans, and a pair of blue sneakers. His hair was short like Azuki's but without the pigtail things and it was white like Vanilla's. I noticed my brother staring at Raven. I lightly bonked him on the head. "Dude, that's just weird. We're like 30 in human years. We may be cat(boys?) but there are some lines that should not be crossed. Quit staring." I said. It was closing time so I had my brother go change into his fancy clothes and come meet me back at the shop. I changed into my tuxedo, and checked my holsters, my derringers were still there, and I also had extra ammunition. I had my saber-like dagger in a pocket inside the overcoat and I knew the rest of my guns were with my motorcycle. I got everyone to the party and I walked in, It was about the same as last time. I danced with Vanilla for a while and then we went to go socialize with some other guests at the party.

I heard the sound of glass shattering and went to go check it out. I carefully looked outside (like you would when peering around a corner, to see if something was there without it being able to see you, at least not easily.) I had to lean uncomfortably far though because I was missing my left eye. I saw someone laying down on a roof, he had a gun in his hand. I stepped back hoping he didn't see me. (For clarification he's inside the building now, where the sniper can't see him.) I moved my fancy dagger into one of the pockets of my tuxedo's pants and buttoned up my overcoat so the white parts of my tuxedo were hidden as well as possible, and I grabbed my fedora and my aviators and put them on. I leaned back out and luckily my motorcycle was parked close enough that I could reach my rifle without having to reach too far out for it. I got it, and drew it from the holster covering the shiny silver parts as well as I could. I got it and as quickly and quietly as possible I ran behind the building. I heard the crackling sound of a radio turning on as he spoke into it and said "I think I saw something move outside the building, go check it out." I heard footsteps move toward me and I snuck around to the building the sniper was perched on. I climbed up a ladder and quietly snuck up behind him. I drew my fancy knife from its sheath as I covered his mouth and flipped him onto his back, and I cut the wire to his radio. "Don't try to call for help. Now what are you doing here?" I asked him. "I'm a member of the special forces." he said.

(I'm not exactly sure if this is what special forces soldiers do but I'm going with it anyway.)

   I checked his tags, he was indeed a soldier, and one of an only slightly higher rank than I was.  "Apologies sir, I'm a bodyguard these days and you seemed very suspicious. Can you give me a sit rep while I see if I can repair your radio? Me and my family are guests at that party so I'll be able to get in without raising suspicion if you're looking for someone inside." I said, saluting him and showing him a third tag I had on my chain from when I was in the military. "Repair my radio and I can ask if I have permission to do so." He said. "It'll take a minute, do you have some way of notifying everyone you're still fine while I fix your radio?" I asked. He waved to a couple other soldiers on the ground, presumably the ones he sent after me. I repaired his radio and he reported back to whoever was in command. They said it was okay, but to keep it brief. They were looking for a highly dangerous individual, he told me what he looked like and told me to lure him outside and to wear his beret to signal them to ambush him. I put my rifle back in my motorcycle holster and walked back in taking off my fedora and my aviators. Vanilla walked over to me asking where I went off to, I told her it was nothing. I found the guy, and he followed me outside, I noticed Vanilla followed me, I stood between her and the sniper and covered the person's mouth while I put on the sniper's beret. The sniper signaled the soldiers to ambush him. They captured him and thanked me for my help. I handed the sniper his beret back and saluted. Vanilla came out from behind me. "Who's this? Your daughter?" He asked with a smile. I snickered. "No, this is my girlfriend." "Our daughter is still inside." I said. The soldiers left and we went back inside to enjoy the rest of the party.
