"It's so nice out tonight, huh Meggy? Let's have dinner outside. What d'ya say?" Megan looked at Katie for a second and smiled. "Sure, it is a rather pretty sunset we're in for. At least let me get the table set up out here though?" She looked at Katie and poked her in the belly. Katie giggled and twirled around heading quickly into the house. She could smell her bread which was a pretty good indication that it was about to burn if she didn't hurry up and get it out of the oven.

A few minutes passed and they were both in and out of the house, taking things from the kitchen to the table and so on. All the while telling each other little things that had gone on during their day. Katie hadn't done much out of the ordinary. She planted some new flowers and tended to her vegetable garden. She tidied the house and did the wash. It would appear dull to anyone else, she thought, but to her it was her happiness.

"I think that's everything, shall we?" Megan said to Katie as she pulled out her chair. Katie smiled and sat down gently. Tucking her napkin onto her lap, she felt content. "So, did you catch the bad guy?" She asked Megan. "Bad guy?...oh, oh, yeah. Well I sure did. It took a little longer then I would have liked it to have but I think Mr. Shoin will be free of thieves for the time being." She was going on and on about the intricacies and Katie, bless her heart, she was trying her best to pay attention but there was a strange movement in the bushes and she couldn't help but wonder what it was.

"Megan, love. Do you see the bush moving over there?" Megan turned around and peered over her own shoulder. Quickly she stood up and rushed to see what was going on..

Katie s q u e e l e d!

"Oh Megan! Don't rush over there! What if it's a monster!?"
