Angelina returned Ambrose's kiss briefly and watched him leave. She settled ino the couch and watched Colche carefully. In one way it was almost haunting to see a nearly grown woman so facinated by somethig as common place as a movie.
But on the other hand, it was kind of touching.
"You're learning how to read?" she asked Colche.

Ambrose picked up a tray in the cafeteria and began piling finger-foods onto it - a half dozen Hamburgers, a few hot dogs, a pile of potato chips, and he popped a bag of microwave popcorn into the microwave as he grabbed two big pieces of chocolate cake and put them on the tray.
Finally, he careuflly ladeled several spoons of soup into a big bowl and gathered up the popped bag of popcorn, carrying it in his mouth while he he carried the tray that was precariously heaped with food and spillable soup back to the entertainment room.
His ears pricked and his tail wagged as he slowly walked back in, setting the trya down on the nearest flat surface, glancing up as he saw he hadn't missed much in the movie.
He carried the bowl of soup with the spoon over to Angelina, and then slid the small end table with the pile of food over to the couch, where he plopped down next to them, snuggling in close and snatching a hamburger.
"Ahh, this is nice" He said, his tail wriggling behind him in the coushins.

Colche looked at Angilina and smiled "reading fun" she stated still smiling happily thoughher attention was stolen once again by the screen. She was amazed, to say the least, how did the story get on the screen? How did it move like that? Why didn't books move? All these questions and not one of them managed to make it past her mind. The arrival of ambrose though made her bend and scoop for a ham burger. She wasn't particularily hungry but she was double sure she was always full up now. Two months outside had not been good to the little cheetah girl. She had eaten some things but the weight she had put on since coming to the island had dropped off again, perhaps this was partially due tot eh syrum taking affects but being hungry for two months hadn't helped. Hunger was one of those bad things.
For a moment her attention was set upon the burger, making sure it was eaten in as short a time as possible. She had to stop ehrself from pawing at Ambrose's tail, it looked like something fun to chase but one of the songs in snow white suddenly caught her attention and she gave a giggle "Song!" she puurred happily. She loved to sing and any oppertunity to learn a new song was immediately taken. "Snow white purty voice" she smiled in a contented fashion nestling in to the cushions a low puurr eminating from her chest.

Angelina made eyes at Ambrose, a silent girly-maternal 'squeee!' at Colche's cuteness. A hand instinctually went to her stomach as she snuggled into Ambrose, opening her mouth like a baby bird, eyeing the soup.

"Yes she does have a pretty voice. Most of these disney movies have singing, Colche. They are a lot of fun..." He smiled. "Especially when you don't want to watch things that are that sad.... and have a happy ending."
He snaked an arm around Angelina, and dipped a spoon of soup into her mouth with a quirk of a smile, and a second Hamburger clenched between his teeth, which was consumed not too soon afterwards.
"Chicken soup should hopefully help you beat this cold, Angelina." He said comfortingly after finishing the second burger.
"It really has been ages since I watched this..." He mused nostalgically, really enjoying seeing the wonder in Colche's eyes, and helping Angelina hopefully feel more comfortable.

Colche smiled brightly peering at Angilina with a smile "like" she stated looking back at the screen before gazing at Ambrose "like songs" she gave a little puurr and gigled "dwarves!" her kitty face scrunched up in an adorably cute manner as she nabbed a handful of popcorn and tried to grin before she swallowed loosing a kernol or two to the floor though she didn't seem to notice as she tried to immitate the dwarves "hi ho..work we go" she attempted to make the whisteling sound too though she only came out with a sort of rasberry "how?" she looked at Ambrose expectantly, big brother would know he knew everything.

Ambrose's heart seemed to melt, just a little bit as he watched her attempt to whistle.
"It's ... a little tricky." Just put your lips together and blow THe age-old quote came to his mind - though that was far less than accurate
"You pucker your lips... like this" Ambrose made a comically exaggerated face.
"And then you put your tongue tip to the roof of your mouth."
He opened his mouth to show where his was, also displaying his very canine dentition.
"Put the both together, and then blow."
A weak whistling sound came from Ambrose. It was tougher with his forming muzzle and slightly less flexible lips... but it still happened.
He grabbed a pawfull of popcorn and munched, watching the witch casting the spell on the apple and disguising her appearance on the screen, marveling at the art quality that was over seventy years old.

Colche giggles watching ambrose, he looked so funny but she wanted to learn. The screen wa sof course still her main prioriity but she was attempting to whistle at the same time "pbbb" she giggled but bit her tongue in that determined manner she had when she wanted to do somehting. Scrunching up her brow she tried again, this timea small whistely sound escaped her lips and she grinned "Colche wis..tul" she smiles settling comfortably again.
She knew the ending to this story of course. Snow white got a kiss from the prince and she lived happily ever after. She had asked Aubrey about princes, she wanted one they seemed to nice.
Still the movie was more important than those thoughts right now and it was nearing the all important climax "No eat apple!" she shouted hiding her face under Ambrose's arm though she did peep out just to check only to hide her stubby muzzle again until the witch had fallen off the cliff. Her big blue eyes watched the screen and she sniffled a little, playing snow white was fun but she was definately against poisen apples.

Angelina also latced onto Ambrose's arm, watching Colche with delight. And kept shooting AMbrose not-so-subtle looks about just how cute she was. And other things. Angelina's biological clock started ticking rather loud watching Colche, something AMbrose's new canine senses would be able to pick up on.

Ambrose laughed at Colche's attempts - but not spitefully so. "That's a good try - keep it up! You've got the basics." He grinned.
He also laughed as she tried to instruct Snow White - he knew that she knew the story, and thus knew the outcome... but still. His tail wriggled behind him again, confined by the cushions and his two couchmates.
He exchanged a look with Angelina, hugging her tighter. For some reason... the prospect didn't terrify him nearly as much as it should have, until he thought again to the island itself.... the experimental nature... he shook his head. He wouldn't think on it - especially not now. He was exposing Colche to Movies and Disney, Angelina was sick, and they were all back inside, with food, with television.
All too soon, the movie reached the ending. The budget for animation and old movies indicated much shorter movies than most modern theatrical live action movies resulted in.
With a ruffle to both of their hairs, Ambrose bounded out of his seat and nipped the DVD as the movie came to a close.
"What did you think, Colche, of the movie version?" He beamed. "We should watch a story you're not familiar with.... and... one of my favorites."
He picked "Beauty and the Beast" from the shelf and stuck that one in. "This one is newer... and.... rather appropriate given our situations "
He plopped heavily back down on the couch, nibbling at some of the remaining snacks. "I needed a day in like this." He mused happily.
"You feeling any better, Angelina?" He asked hopefully.

Colche smiled and nodded happily "Colche like prince" she stated with a puurr nestling in a kiddish manner against Ambrose as the next story began. It facinated her that they could put the whole story on a screen, on a magic little disc. She puurred happily, waiting for the first frames of animation. She of course, instantly took a liking to belle, mainly because she was singing from the start. "Like movies" she settles in to a gentle puurr which rolls off quietly as she once again falls in to this magical world on the screen finding the songs even betetr than the snow white movie. She'd be humming the beggining song fo days for sure, it was so nice, she wanted to be like belle.
Looking up at Ambrose she smiled, once again turning that sad cheetah face in to a grin "I..wanna..be..belle" she grinned looking at Ambrose, belle was pretty andshe had a nice voice and she sang lots, it was a simple request, and her sentence, for once wasn't in third person.

Aneglina felt her head, frowning when it still felt warm. "Not really. But being here with you and Colche just chilling out is certainly making it bearable."
Angelina sang along with Belle, half because she loved the musical, but also half to impress Colche with knowing the words.
"Every girl wants to be Belle kinda" Angelina said, planting her rear in slightly suggestively in Ambrose's lap, gazing up at him. "I certainly found my 'beast' that I got to fall in love with." Angelina pinched Ambrose's cheeks.

"The prince is very nice, Colche." He lookd to her, after the end of Snow White. "This movie has a prince, too - but it's very different. Maybe more like the princes you'd find around here." His ears flicked.
His eyebrows lifted as she formed the sentance and his eyes softened. He nodded with Angelina. "A lot of the disney movies have different princesses - all of them different. Some of them rich, some of them poor, some of them smart, some of them sweet. Some of them, like this movie... like Cinderella... aren't even princesses to start out with."
Ambrose couldn't help but hum at the first songs. He had heard them too many times not to.
Ambrose's mouth twisted - trying to make an expression of offense, but it failed miserably as it broke into a smile and his tail wagged again as Angelina pinched his cheeks. "Beast. I never." He huffed in feigned protest.
"Speaking of." He pointed a clawed finger to the screen as the beast, gruff and unapproachful at firt, made his appearance into the movie, shortly after the pack of wolves chase Belle's father.

"Bad doggies" Colche watched quietly, the beast was big and scary and very hairy. She flinched a bit when he shouted and clung to Ambrose for a minute. She hadn't quite linked the wolf pack with Ambrose, the rest of the story just seemed more important. Colche smiles "Aubrey says..I..find prince..one..day..maybe" she was trying hard to say I insetad of refarreing to herself by her name, she knew everyone did that it was just a difficult habbit to break.
"beast mean" she pulls a tongue at the screen. buther anger at the beast didn't last too long as the be my guest song arrived and she giggled. How did angelina know all the words? She makes a little puury sound and looks at Angelina with hope in her big blue eyes "Angalina teach..words, like songs" she smiled broadly, she liked to learn if only people were willing to teach.

Angelina smiled at Colche. "I've watched this movie so many times... thats why I know the words. Kinda like when you read your books alot you'll learn the story."
She looked back to the TV. "I can write down the words for you, Colche, so you can practive singing with the movie."
