4. "Pampering", and Meeting Him

I was awaken by being picked up. Making a hiss form, I was shhh'ed by Talia before she scurried out the door with me in her arms.

"Got her! Let's go!" She hollered, running to the garage that was to the left.

"*W-what....?*" Still dazed, I blinked before figuring it out.
They're taking me shopping...

Talia sits in the middle seats in the van while Liara's friend Zorazia, who we call Zia, sat in the drivers seat. Christina hopped into the van with three purses and a wallet that looked a lot like Austin's. All of a sudden, Liara ran into the garage dragging poor Austin by the ear, Zachary and Liliana not far behind. Everyone had their day clothes on but Zachary. Upon seeing Liliana say something to her son and him go back inside, I'm guessing Zachary's not coming. The three scurried in the van. It seems Austin didn't want to come, but they dragged him into their plot of breaking my legs in a store without actually touching them. Zia drove off on full speed while I just clutched Austin's legs for dear life while he held back a screech of pain. For what seemed like hours in the moving-cat-killing machine, Zia parked and everyone left while Liliana and Talia started unprying my talons like claws off a pale Austin. This time, Liliana carried me in, a little frightened I might hurt Austin again. Looking to the building, I read;
Pet Pampering

Resisting the urge to run away, I let them take my in.

Liliana and the rest walked strait to the counter to a woman that had blonde hair -some gray in it- that crowned her wrinkled face and light brown eyes that gleamed with her lovely smile. She looked around her 50s or 60s. She smiled brightly at the sight of me.

"You have a gorgeous cat! What's her name, sweeties?" I noticed her name tag: Donna Clice. What a nice name. Liliana grinned widely to Donna.

"Fall, Fall Winters, Mrs. Clice. I adopted her two days ago, well, took her in. I found her on the streets with this huge cut, so I'm caring her to health. But it seems time has started to fly by, my! It's the Christmas dance tonight! You see, my daughter, Talia, wants to go with her boyfriend and friends, then Zia wants to come with her boyfriend, Austin. But my son, he will only come if Fall came, and I want them both to come. And I need Fall pampered a bit..." Donna grinned back.

"Then what kind of style?" I looked to Liliana in a plead for no formal.

"Slightly the tough look, but still elegant, to fit her personality. Slightly tech- black or red, maybe a mix. Can you do that..?" Donna grinned lightly.

"I might not, but we have the perfect one that can, Chase Sage. I believe she's open, give me a minute!" The employee grabbed a phone and dialed some numbers;
7038

Almost immediately, a tough looking girl around 16 came in and smiled at me. "Yah Fall? I'm Chase Sage." I grin and nod.

"*Yes, I am.*" Chase jumps slightly, but still picks me up out of Liliana's arms and into the first room.
Cleaning

She sets me into a neat and clean bathroom before shutting the door.

"I just need to clean away the dirt and reclean around your wounds, then we can go to the next room. But I need to take off you gadget here, kay?" "*Alright*" She takes off Translater slowly and gently before laying me into nice, warm water. She started scrubbing the dirt off then rinsing before using shampoo and conditioner. Once she finished, she scooped me out the dirty water and drained it, while we waited, she gently started taking off my bandages.

"Sorry if I hurt you." After she finished, she looked at my wound with wide eyes. It had scarred and most of my fur had grown back. "I thought..." She trailed off but shook her head and started drying, lastly, she brushing my fur. After it was neat and shining, Chase tucked Translater in its spot and carries me to the next station:
