♬ Rhapsody Skysong ♫  The ride was short thankfully. The doors opened and the first thing that greeted her eyes was the red haired owner Crimson. There were cages of all sorts varying from hamsters to dogs. She stepped out of the elevator and began walking towards Crimson and stopping at a respectful distance. On the bed was the cat girl Catrina from what Rhapsody had read." What do we need to do here?" Rhapsody asked letting her strange colored eyes rest on Crimson's. Curse her height, she had to crane her neck to make eye contact with him. This was going to a weird one since Rhapsody was at a loss as to how to diagnose a cat girl without making a complete idiot of herself.

♫Crimson watched Catrina hop onto the table with a grin and was rather happy once Rhapsody stepped off of the elevator. He turned his head from her back to Catrina and smiled, "Good kitty. Now, you wait here, mate." He pat her head gently and then walked over to Rhapsody and motioned her to follow behind him. He turned to her and crossed his arms to bend over. It was a flaw to being so tall, so hard to inconspicuously talk about someone. "Thank you for coming up, lassie. I honestly don't know what we're going to do, mate. She's a girl. As I'm sure you can clearly see, and I just don't know, lassie. I'm thinking a physical and make note of all symptoms, lassie. I'll try to call the human clinic and see if they have dealt with the family before, mate. For now, please do a thorough check-up. I'll keep you informed, lassie." He nodded to her, but not as confidently as he normally did. His tone was wavering, he really had no idea what to do that wouldn't hurt the girl's feelings. He shook his head as he began walking down the stairs. He was old, he needed exercise.
He arrived back down in the lobby and looked at Celeste. He knew he looked completely confused at this point, and she was the closest thing to a real friend he had on this island. The island that seemed to get crazier and crazier with the passing days. He walked over to her, hoping for some comfort. Maybe she would know what to do. "Oy, for the first time in 10 years... I don't know what to do, love." He leaned against her desk and just kind of stood there. Flabbergasted.

Bright eyes moved rhytmically across the screen as they touched on each word. Her fingers moved confidently on the keys, years of practice making it easy to type without actually having to look at the keys. She nibbled on her lip a few times, her fingers coming to a stop as she thought over something. Then they would pick up again and she would leave her lip alone, not even concious of the habit.
She had gone back to the computer after watching Rhapsody get in the elevator and head up to the exam rooms shortly after Crimson and Catrina had disappeared that same way. She was basically starting all the records from scratch and though it would take some hard work at first, once she had everything all set up... and loaded onto the new computer when it got here... it would make life so much easier for her. Being so completely caught up in her work, it was no surprise she didn't hear Crimson step off the stairs or even notice him until he spoke.
At the sound of his voice she sucked in a breath on a gasp and looked up at him, eyes wide, hand rising to cover her rapidly thumping heart. As soon as she realized it was Crimson though, she lowered her hand, her lips tilting upward in a small smile. "Holy wow you scared me." She said, laughter at herself in her voice. Shaking her head she clicked the save button before pushing her chair out and standing, automatically stretching, then turning to lean against the desk next to him. "Ten years? Sounds like your about due then." Her teasing smile matching her tone of voice. "I don't think anyone would know what to do." She said honestly. Seriously, what did you do with a girl who so obviously believed she was a cat. Heck, even Neil thought she was a cat. "For what it's worth, I think you are handling it well considering even Neil seems to believe she is a cat." She gave him a smile, thinking his confused look was rather endearing. "Maybe we can convince Neil that she needs to see a human doctor?"

♬ Rhapsody Skysong ♫ " Will do, I'll call you up once I am finished" Rhapsody said to the retreating form of Crimson. Now she was alone with the cat girl. Honestly, Rhapsody did not know how to proceed. She sat down on the ground, pulled out a pen and began writing on the paper. Rhapsody though animals as her equal, so she never sat higher or below them." Can you tell me your symptons Catrina?" Rhapsody asked as she waited for the neko to answer her question. From there Rhapsody could proceed onward once she had a better idea as to what she was dealing with.

♥ ♥ ♥ In the few hours that had passed since Amanda had left she had been rather busy. When she had seen how nasty the storm was on the horizion she had made a beeline back towards her house to make sure everything was all closed up. While there she had grabbed her large umbrella, changed shoes, pulled a lightweight sweater on, and grabbed a photo album she had forgotten.
Pulling back up in front of the Cat's Meow, Amanda was happy had changed her shoes from sandels to her orange striped Tom's. The whole closed toe shoe thing was good because when she opened the hatch to let the dogs out, Jet took off on a small sprint towards the door. "Jet I know you want to go back in there but were going together!" Smiling she led him back towards the car in order to get Abby as well. Once all were together again they made their way back into the office. As she opened the door Amanda smiled in small relief that their wouldn't be a problem this time with dogs and cats. Smiling she walked over towards the desk with Jet and Abby. "Well that was an interesting afternoon for the two of you I'm sure." Laughing slightly she let a bit of the leash loose so Jet and Abby could go sniff at Crimson again. "Once they've been looked over, would you like to review my past photos so you can figure what kinds of photos you would like for around here? And my offer to help paint still stands if you want my help."

Crimson stood there, too wrapped in his own problems to even notice the fear in Celeste's voice. "I'm glad we are on the same page, mate. I was thinking about calling over to the clinic, love. Y'know, I kind of don't feel right shoving her on Rhapsody on her first day, love." He finally turned his head to look at Celeste sitting at her little desk. He smiled at her, something about her optimism always brought him up.
But, before he could go all Austalian gentleman on her, he noticed amanda enter. 'Ello there, love." He looked down with a rather large smile at the dogs. "'Ello to you two, too." He knelt down and rubbed both of their heads. He then straightened his vertebrae again and nodded his head, gently scratching his neck in his usual nervous manner. "Oy, it was rather awful. Catrina's being examined upstairs now, mate. She's quite a handful, lassie." He traced his eyes from her down to the dogs once more, "No problems with 'em, right lassie?" He smiled at their chipper faces. "If not, I'll take 'em up to a room and you can have Celeste look over the pictures while I'm up there, mate. I trust her judgment fully, lassie. " He turned his head at that moment to shoot Celeste a smile. "But, for the paint, we still don't have it yet, mate." He nodded and then smiled back down to the dogs, waiting for her okay to commence with the check-up.

♬ Rhapsody Skysong ♫ " Like how are you feeling right now?" Rhapsody replied noting that she was starting to look drowsy since she was on a bed and had just eaten which was not good since Rhapsody had not even started the examination yet. But she wrote down some stuff on the clipboard and smiled at Catrina.

Catrina shot a dirty look at the woman. How did she think she was feeling?! She was feeling horrible and now some random woman was busy giving her an interrogation! She picked up the fish and stuck it in her mouth, sucking on it as though it were a lollipop with a continued stare at the woman. Ah, fish tasted so yummy~! She could just live off of it! ..Which she did. Mice, birds, and fish! Maybe a bit too much protein for a young girl, but it wasn't like anyone could get her to eat her fruits and veggies! Plus, she looked fiiine, sickness aside. Finally, after she had gotten a good taste of the raw fish head, she popped it out and licked her chops, “Good, mjau.” She lied outright with a narrowing of eyes to dare the woman to try and say otherwise. Like she would tell some stranger what she refused to tell her brothers! Her resolve broke as she coughed into her paws, sniffing after the fit was over with in irritation. Ah, she hated this!!

♥ ♥ ♥ Torn between going with her babies and looking through the pictures with Celeste, Amanda sighed slightly. Addressing Crimson's comment though she made up her mind. "Both seem healthy to me, they just need check up's. The only thing is that although Abby's friendly, she hates going to the vet's. She seems quite taken with you though, usually she's not so calm around new people. I have no problem looking at pictures with Celeste while you check them out. How about I give you these two and if Abby starts to be a bit panicked I can come up and keep her calm? I don't really think there will be though." Smiling down at the dogs Amanda told them to be good and then handed both leash's to Crimson. Turning slightly Amanda looked at Celeste and smiled, "Let's look at some pictures then!" Smiling she pulled the photo album she had out and handed it to Celeste. "This is an assortment of photos. The majority are from photo shoots that I've done with normal people - meaning no models. Some are people and pets, some are children. Like I said, it's a mix."

Celeste could see understand Crimson's worry over what to do with the catgirl currently ensconced upstair with the new Vet. She had a feeling Rhapsody would get through it all right though. The woman seemed to know her way around animals, Catrina shouldn't be too hard. The girl thought she was a cat afterall. Celeste looked up at Crimson in time to see him smile at her and her own smile widened in return. She was about to tell him she had faith in rhapsody, and that his idea to call the clinic might be better than calling Neil, when Amanda came back.
Celeste unobtrusively slid back into her chair and back to her computer to let Crimson talk to Amanda. She was just getting back into her records when the sound of her name brought her head up. "Mmmm?" Oh. She couldn;t stop the smile that lifted her lips and and her mood believe it or not, when he said he trusted her. She looked back to the computer until Amanda came over with her book. Celeste got up and retrieved a chair from one of the back offices and offered it to Amanda. Celeste smiled at Amanda. "Thanks for helping out earlier." She said gratefully as she looked down at the book and started flipping through it.
The pictures were very good, and she had a feeling Amanda would be perfect for the kind of shots Crimson would like, and that would make the clients comfortable. She looked up at Amanda after a few minutes. "So what do you have in mind then? Are there any in here specifically? Or do you have other ideas?" The interest was clear in her voice. She was much for being in pictures, or taking them, but the creative part of it was always intriguing.

♥ ♥ ♥ Smiling as Celeste grabbed a seat, Amanda thanked her as she sat down. "It was no problem making myself the my troublemakers disappear earlier, I wish I could have helped some but we were just making things worse instead. I hope that things calmed down after we left though." As Celeste flipped, Amanda remembered the different shots that were in the album and what she hoped was the right idea for a photoshoot for the clinic. At Celeste's question Amanda smiled and flipped to a set of pictures from a trip she had taken to a horse and cattle ranch. The first few in the binder were photos for their brochure and then the one's after were for a magazine shoot she had been nominated for. "See how these one's allow the animals in their natural area's or where they are comfortable? I think taking pictures of the staff and animals they treat or their own animals is something that could show how well the animals are cared for, and that the staff knows what they are doing. And that they love their own pets as much as the one's they treat!" Flipping to another set of photos Amanda let out a small laugh, "These pictures are a set that I did while traveling overseas. Whenever I saw an owner and their pet that looked a little alike I would take their photo. Think this would be a good idea for Crimson?" Smiling again she let Celeste flip through some more photos, the woman was definatly interested in the whole process and Amanda wanted to share whatever knowledge she could. As well as persuade her to be in a photo or two. "Is there any ideas that you might have? You and Crimson seem to know each other pretty well, anything you know he would like to see? Or something you think would be perfect? I'm open to any suggestions."

She flipped through the picture book as Amanda spoke, a light smile on her lips. As she flipped through the book, and back to the ones Amanda had pointed out specifically, she was more and more confident that these were exactly what Crimson had in mind. The ones with the patients would have to be worked on slowly, seeing as they were just beginning to work up the client base, but the others could be worked on soon. In fact, Celeste thought the ones of the employees and their own pets would be some of the best ones they could do. It always seem to calm other pet owners to know that you were one yourself.
Celeste finally looked up from the book, at Amanda's comment about her and Crimson knowing each other well. She looked a little surprised but it was quickly gone and she pushed the thought aside. Smiling she said, "These look great Amanda. I think your ideas would be perfect for the clinic and I'm pretty sure Crimson would agree with me." She leaned a little closer to Amanda, dropping her voice, her smile turning mischievous. "I definitely think you should take on of Crimson that shows how much him and Rally look a like... but let's not tell him about that one. I'd like to stick it in his office once it's done as a surprise." She laughed and pulled back, getting back on track. "But I think just comfortable stills, and possibly action shots of the vets with their own pets and with clients... as we get them... would be perfect."

♫Crimson smiled at the dogs and nodded to Amanda. "I'll take good care of 'em, mate." He turned to smile at Celeste, "You be good, lassie." He let out a gently chuckle and gladly took the leash from her hand. He nodded about Abby, "I'll be sure to let you know if I need you, mate." He smiled at her enthusiasm to show Celeste and his eyes couldn't help but trail back to his receptionist. He then realized that he needed to get upstairs and began the walk to the third floor. He figured the dogs and his health would enjoy the stairs so that's the path he took.
Once there, he made sure to sneak around so that neither Abby, Jet, or Catrina was away of the opposite party. He then stood in the room and patted the beds gently for each of them to jump up on. He grabbed two doggy biscuits and gave one to each and scratched their heads gently, making sure they were calm and happy with him before he began the examination. He checked their heart rates to see if there was some panic that he couldn't sense, but everything seemed fine. So, the normal routine it was. This didn't take longer than around 10 minutes per dog, being extremely thorough since this was the first time. He always felt it was best to get to know the pets in good health so he could tell more easily in bad health.
Within 25 minutes since he left, the three were back in the lobby and Crimson glanced at the girls just in time to watch Celeste seemingly whisper about something. Maybe it was just that he was old, but he couldn't hear her. He stepped a bit closer, with a wide grin on his face. "Were you talking about me, love?" He shot Celeste a playful angry stare before looking down at Jet and Abby. "They did great, mate. I think it was that we were done so quickly, or maybe the biscuits, either way, mate. They didn't seem to mind, lassie." He smiled at her and placed the leashes in her hand before leaning against the counter and looking down at the pictures. "Get anything decided on, lassie?"

♥ ♥ ♥ Amanda laughed at Celeste's comment about keeping the photo of Crimson a secret. Who knew she could be so sneaky! She laughed and nodded in agreement as she saw Crimson come back downstairs with Jet and Abby. She also noticed that as he addresssed both Celeste and herself, he used love versus lassie. Something to think about. At his question Amanda smiled and let her honey soaked accent (think country accent (; ) answer him. "Well hun why do you think we were talkin' 'bout you? Smiling, she continued. Celeste and I have been figurin' things out for a bit here and I think she see's my idea and I get her's as well. How about some photos of your client's and their pet's with each other, comfortable. As well as some action shots of you and the other Vet's working with the animals. As well as some shots of ya'alls pet's and you together to show that you know what your doing, and you have a love for it. As far as an idea for paint, we hadn't talked about that yet." Looking down, Amanda kissed both dogs heads as they sat calmly near her. "Looks like they might be mighty fond of you Crimson. You too Celeste, they usually arn't so calm around people they havn't met before." Turning back to look at Celeste, Amanda wondered if the woman would be up for a girls' night. "Hey Celeste, have you ever been to the Grindhouse?"
