  • "Aphro! We've been walkin' for hours. My legs are as heavy as boulders and I'm starving. How much further are we goin' to walk? Can't we take a break for just a few minutes to hunt and rest a little?" Groaned the sleek blue tabby as she climbed over a fallen log, flopping backwards with he back against the trunk. Her vivid orange eyes were narrowed and tired of traveling. Her legs were aching and her stomach was growling. "Where are we even going? You do know where we're going, right? You haven't forced me to walk for days for nothing, right?" Questioned the she-cat, twitching her nose. She had no idea where they were headed, and by her sister's answer, she wasn't quite sure either.


    "Strider, girl, just... relax," Replied a pretty white she-cat, "Stop worrying so much about the destination. It's all about the journey. We'll go wherever the wind takes us. If we believe in loooove, we'll end up somewhere safe and peaceful–with catnip." Aphrodite slid up onto a tree for a few moments, then returned to her sister's side with two sparrows. Tossing one in Strider's direction, Aprhodite licked her lips. "Thank these tasty bird-friends for letting us eat them, or, like, their family will hunt us down and kill us in our sleep."

    "You don't even know?!"
    Hissed Strider, now furious after Aphrodite admitted she didn't know where they were going. "That's kind of important, you bird-brain! Sometimes I wonder how you'd survive alone, seriously." Snorting and shaking her head, she momentarily forgave her when the white cat brought back something to eat. The boyish she-cat tucked in, resting for a few minutes after wards, before they set off again.


    "Chill, sis. You've got a bad case of destination fever. You worry to much, just relax and, like, hang loose. Oh, look–" Aphrodite's ears flicked upward as she stared ahead, at the edge of the forest they were traveling through. In the distance she saw a sea of green, and Strider saw it too. "Looks like we're here."


    Strider stopped in her paw-steps. Her ears flattened against her head and a brief growl erupted from her throat. "So, we traveled for days, risking our lives... to get to a field? A field. A field?!" She spat, digging her claws into the dirt. "What's wrong with you? You're one of the stupidest cats I've ever known!"

    "It's, like, a green ocean. It looks soft and fluffy,"
    Aphrodite paused, ignoring Strider, "... Fluff."

    "A field!"
    Strider shouted angrily. "A stinkin', giant field! What's so special about it?"


    "I heard some friends talking about a sea of green faraway from da Nofurs and Clancats. Friends of theirs have been there, and there was a giant patch of catnip!"

    "You dragged me along for days... for catnip?! That's even worse! I should claw your ears off!"

    "Steady, girl. Violence and anger don't solve nothing. There's nothing to be mad about. The journey was, like, cool."

    "No, it was not."


    "Oh, hey. Look, Stridester. Furry friend dudes," Aphrodite mewed and flicked her tail in the direction of cats in the distance.


    "Great. Let's hope they don't try to kill us for trespassing on their territory!" Strider snarled, "What are you gonna say? 'Hey, can I have some nip? It, like, makes me feel like I'm floatin' on a soft, fluffy cloud, furry friend dudes.'"


    "Whoa. That was, like, what I was going ta say!"

  • "...Hey babes." Brody shot the strangers a wink as the big black serval tom nonchalantly strolled along. "Welcome to the Brode Abode."


    He had no real idea of what to expect other than some surprise and maybe initial fear, then they would probably wind up sleeping with him in a day or so. If that. This was just him going on prior experience. But, he never just jumped to conclusions. He just let things play out.

  • "The Brode Abode?" The dainty white she-cat repeated with a soft smile. Her fluffy tail was swaying back in forth. She had heard about cats like Brody, but never saw a feline as big as him before. "Hm..." Her eyes scanned across the virtually infinite fields, then landed on the serval. "Looks... nice."


    Strider grumbled under her breath as the big black cat greeted them. "Hey," She growled lightly, "Don't call us 'babes'."


  • "Whoa--uh, sorry, dudettes," said Brody. "Aw yeah the Brodelands are like, far out. So like, where you babes--where, you dudettes from? Aw yeah and my name's like, Brody, what's yers?"

  • Strider simply snorted and looked away.


    "I'm Aphrodite," The white she-cat purred, "The bad-tempered one is my younger sister, Strider."

    "Bad-tempered?!"
    The blue tabby hissed, but was cut off.

    "We're from... very far away. Way back where there was a bunch of Nofurs."


    "Yeah, and this idiot made me walk for days to get here, because someone told her there was catnip!"


    "What? Catnip is amazing. It makes me feel–"


    "–Like you're floating on a cloud. You say that all the time, you stoned hippie," Grunted Strider.

  • "Whoa..." Brody waited before he said another word.


    "Chill. There's like, plenty of shit here fer the both of you, and like, plenty of room too. It's like, chillaxin' ground zero, dudettes."

  • Strider heaved a sigh. Her sister already talked in that strange, annoying way, and now this big black cat named Brody did too? She glanced at the white she-cat beside her, frowning at the happy and excited look on her face. Aphrodite was in heaven here, but what about Strider? She wasn't interested in the tom or the nip.

    "Great!"
    Aphrodite chirped, "See I told you if we calmed and relaxed, we'd reach our destination." This was directed at the blue tabby, whom was sulking.

  • "Yeah like, life's too short to like, be all bummed out," said Brody. Strider seemed to sure have a chip on her shoulder. He hoped that hanging out here would lighten her up.

  • The blue tabby seemed to fully take in his words, and slowly lifted her head. Managing a smile, she straightened up, no longer sulking. The only reason she was really upset was because of her sister, thinking on her own again without considering Strider's feelings.

    "Yeah, I guess, um, ah... dude,"
    Mewed the she-cat, a little awkwardly.


    Aphrodite giggled at Strider's reply.

  • Strider glanced at her sister nervously, who only smiled with her teeth in return. When her gaze returned to Brody, she grinned awkwardly.

    "Y-yep, that's me. Totally groovy... chic. Heheh.. heh,"
    She mumbled, blinking. Twitching her ears, the blue she-cat opened her mouth wide, letting out a loud yawn as a way to change the subject.


    "Yeah, um, so, crack-head. What you do you want to waste your time with?" Asked the tabby, turning her eyes in the direction of her sister.


    Aphrodite didn't seem to feel offended, as she simply replied, "Frolicking through a field of daisies, finding some catnip, and spreading the looove."


    Sighing, Strider shook her head. "So, Brody, I take it you run the place," She said to the serval.

  • "I will," Aphrodite replied to Brody, winking.

    "Brodeclan?"
    Repeated Strider in a mumble, tilting her head to scan the horizon past Brody. There were many colored shapes in the distance, the other cats, she guessed. "How many cats live here?"

  • Brody's hazel eyes just lit up. "Aw, we got like the best shit in the land, babe. Cmon I can like, take ya there now.". He started right over to the catnip patch, which had fared better this year than any other he recalled.

  • Strider watched as Aphrodite eagerly skipped after Brody, while she slowly followed them. She didn't like catnip, it made her dizzy and she didn't like it.


    When they arrived at the patch, Aphrodite's eyes widened. She dove into the green, breathing in it's delectable scent. Sitting up, the black and white she-cat had leaves tangled in her fur, making her look silly. "Whoa."
