"No, no, no! Bad kitty! Bad!" Emily's saviour reprimands.

Emily's eyes shine with the light of a thousand stars as she turns to hero-worship the one who had saved her life. Emily bends down to kiss the hem of her robes-- err, the bottom of her jeans.

"Oh, thank you for controlling that beast, Catherine!"

"Aurgh! Don't touch me!" Catherine kicks Emily away and picks up her werecat minion, who had reverted back into it's cat form.

Emily tumbles away, reverse somersaulting and crashes into the wall, with spirals for eyes (think 'anime' for unconscious).

Everyone's attention is diverted with a loud, "OI! What was that for?!" from Diya, who was rubbing the back of her shoulder angrily. Anna was jumping up and down, continuously thumping Diya on the back, while pointing to someone outdoors.

"Damn it, making me resort to this," Diya mutters to herself, reaching into her pocket.

With a sudden convulsion, Anna falls to the ground, asleep.

Everyone else looked confused. A cartoon question mark appeared above Emily's head.

"Temporary neurotoxin. Lasts for a few minutes in this dosage," Diya explains, extracting the dart from Anna's neck.

"But, but... we didn't even see you stab her with it..." Emily asks, having woken up.

"Exactly," Diya responds, smirking.

"I don't get it..." Nicole scratches her head.

"Nicole?! When'd you get here?" Maria asks.

"Huh? What are you talking about, I've always been here," Nicole waves.

"Well never mind that now, we have more serious matters to discuss," Diya interjects.

Catherine crosses her arms, "Such as?"

"From when Maria dropped her cigarette, that guy running around on fire down there," Diya points.

"OH SHOOT!" Maria yells, running downstairs.

"Hey, wait up!"

Emily, Nicole, and Catherine run after her.

Diya waves at them angrily, shouting, "Hey, hey! What about this?!" She points at Anna, who was snoring gently, a trail of drool escaping from her mouth.

Catherine turns and yells back, "It's your problem, deal with it!" She turns around again, hiding a snicker.

"Argh, damn it, why does this always happen to me?" Diya grumbles, dragging Anna up the stairs. "Guess I'll take the elevator..."

The others shoot by Jessica and John, walking hand in hand down the hallway.

Jessica peers down the hall after them and asks, "Hmm, I wonder who they're chasing after this time?"

John flashes his sparkly whites, "Well definitely not you, because I've caught you already." He leans in closer for a 'reward'.

Jessica gives a light giggle, but pushes him away, "Not now John, we've got to go see what they're up to. Come on!"

With a sigh of resignation, John hangs his head and follows as Jessica heads down the hall.
