It was a glorious day, the sun was shinning, the birds were singing and the fish were flopping... Flopping? Puff wandered about the halls of the aquarium, he minded to keep away from the said humans that roamed the place during the day. Ducking behind a trash bin here and there, he was spotted by a young human, but was easily forgotten as their parents pulled her along and pointed towards the fish they were going to see. Most other times he wasn't even noticed. Making his way back to the larger tanks, there were less people here and he could smell the scent of dead fish back here. It seemed to be feeding time. And it was his feeding time! Slinking around the back, he didn't think he had entered into another cat's territory, then again, he didn't think there would be any other cats around. He didn't smell any... Maybe they were all in hiding like he should have been, not hopping up a few steps to the box of fish that had been left out in the clear for all to see. Mouth watering, Puff Looked the box over all starry eyed. How could this get any better? He had no idea...

Shamar stepped out from around the corner where she had been hiding waiting for the dolphin trainer to leave so she could grab a few fish. " Well, well, Well.... What do we have here?" She asked looking at Puff. She unlike most of the cats was able to wonder from territory to territory with out getting in any trouble, " You, my friend don't belong here." She told him crossing her arms over her chest. " If i were you, I wouldn't let Rave catch you here. Or any of the other cats that reside here." She muttered waving her hand a little. " Either get out." She said pointing her thumb over her shoulder and sucking on her teeth, " Or Join the territory." She told him with a small smirk. " and your in luck. I'm here and I can help you do that right now. Or I can always leave and you can wait a few days to join the territory. And possibly get your a** handed to you by a more capable cat." She told him, still watching the male, " You don't look very big." She added as an after thought.

Puff just about jumped out of his own fur as another cat appeared on the other side of the box. Taking the most ridiculous pose, arms somewhat in the air, on foot raised and eyes bugging out a bit. Shesh, were ALL cats in this place quite? Then again he supposed they all had to be in order to get anything in a human filled building. Calming himself and flattening out the fur of his tail, Puff gave Shamar one of his cheesy grins. "Oh come now, I don't there's anyone in this place that could mess with me." Though he had no idea that she could probably make him shark chow before he could blink. "But I was looking for a place to call home and this place is just FILLED with fish. So I figured, oh what the hell, why not." Puff shrugged some folding his arms bahind his head uncaringly. "So in other words. Can I PLEASE join?" Gets all pleading, with the big cute eyes and sobby expression. Oh yes, work up the mood to get your a** kicked, he was really asking for it.

Shamar laughed, the laugh came from somewhere deep down in the small female. " Mmm yeah cutie. You are not getting in that easy. you have to go threw a rigorous test first." She told him with a smirk. " First." She muttered drumming her fingers against her chin as she thought. "First you need to close your eyes and spin around on one leg 12 times." She said with a smirk. She knew that this was kind of off the wall to make the other do but she liked making people look like idiots in they're territory inciations She couldn't help but smile as she thought back on what she'd made poor Roxy do. "Quickly now, I don't have all day." She said drumming her finders against her hip.

Well, that had ALMOST worked, had it been a little cuter, he might have gotten in scot free, but he supposed his boyish charms didn't work on everyone. Shrugging a little to himself and scratched the back of his head. He could have sworn it had worked, ears twitching he heard the first test and just stared at the female before him. Was she serious? Come on, that was child's play. But he wanted into this place and if he had to act like a lunatic, then that was what he had to do.
Closing his eyes, he set himself to spinning, though he didn't know how many times he had spun, his ears flapped some as he knew his hair was waving wildly about his head as he did. Arms raising themselves over his head he just kept spinning until he thought he was at or over twelve spins. All he knew was that his head was starting to feel funny and he was getting really unbalanced standing only on one leg. Surely he could stop now and not possibly fall into the box of fish that was now not smelling so appealing...

A delicious grin crossed Shamar's face. " Alright now. I need you to go over to the sharks tank." she muttered to him crouching down towards the box of fish and picking out two very small fish. " and I need you to feed these to the hammerhead, you have to carry me on your back all the way to the tank as well." She said with a nod. She was far to tired to walk all the way across the Aquarium under her own power. "You don't have to hand feed him. but you have to make sure he gets them, no other shark can get them or else you have to carry me on your back all the way back here and pick up two more fish carrying them in your mouth AND me on your back and you have to try it again." She said with a nod and a small smirk. " You picked such a difficult territory to get into I hope its worth it." She said motioning to him to turn around so that she could get on his back and he could carry her.

Puff stopped spinning and collapsed on his back, eyes all screwed before shaking his head comicly and looking up towards the other. Why was the world spinning? Shaking his head again, he sat up and rubbed the spin from his eyes and blinked up at the female. He heard bits of what she had said. There was something about feeding a shark, and carrying her 'all' the way to the tank? Was she serious? Ears flicking a little he scowled as his own belly growled at the sight of the small fish she was holding. There what was that? If he failed he would have to carry her back here and back to the tank? Also with the first in his mouth? Man, he would eat them before even getting to the tank in the first place.
"I picked this place, because a friend lives here. You might know her, her names Roxy. So it is worth the pain and strain." Scratching at a shoulder he hauled himself to his feet and turned around, crouching some. "So lets get this show on the road. I want to meet up with her before the sun goes down." He was serious about making it into the territory and meeting up with Roxy soon after. But first things first, he had to pass no matter what.

Shamar frowned and shook her head " Oh Roxy." She muttered before she slipped her legs around his waist and wrapped her arms around his neck, the fist dangling just a few inched from his mouth. She was slightly taunting the other with the delicious fish. " She and Rave are both here." She told the other cat waiting for him to start walking, " I think they Might have a thing going on." She said with a small smirk, She was big on gossip. " She was pretty down when she joined here. But she seems to smile alot." She said with a small shrug. " alright giddy up." she muttered to Puff with a smirk on her face.

Puff stood again shifting the female on his back a little before setting off at a good pace. He wasn't exactly moving slowly, nah, he was moving a bit faster. Being young as he was, he was strong, the smell of the fish wasn't exactly helping either. He could only hope he could get to the right tank quickly so that the fish wouldn't be hanging under his nose and within munching reach. His ears twitched when he heard of Roxy being with another? Surely not, but he didn't seem to care at the moment.
"We're only friends at the moment, but there's something building, ya know? But that doesn't seem to be much of your business." Though he had the arms of another around his neck, and her legs about his waist he didn't seem to think much of it. "So if I feed this hammerhead shark these two fish, I can get something to eat right?" Yes he was hungry and was all too tempted to just eat the fish that were hanging just about under his nose.
Passing many tanks, his yellow/green eyes shifting from each one as he looked for the one with the sharks within it. There were many fish around, but he didn't seem to.. Ah! There is was, he spotted a sign that shown where the shark tank was located, turning sharply, minding not to throw the female off his back, though would be glad to be rid of her after all this. Coming to the shark tank he looked up at the imposing glass wall before heading for the feeder's overhang up top.

Shamar laughed lightly, " Maybe I dunno. I'm kinda hungry myself..... I might need a strapping young guy like you to get me some of the fish I"m craving." She told him giggling softly as they flew around the corner she handed him the fish standing at the glass to make sure the shark she'd told him to got the food. She laughed slightly this task was pretty much impossible. There was no real way to make sure one shark ate while other's didn't.

Puff glanced back towards the female before bounding up the steps towards the feeding platform. He didn't know what to say about that, looking forwards he didn't want to trip, though going as fast as he was, something was bound to happen sooner or later. He hadn't carried anyone on his back in a long time. The last person he had carried was Blackie and that was a long time ago and she wasn't looking too good at the time. Shaking the thoughts from his head and looked to the fish in his hand, he thought more of the task at hand.
Looking down into the tank at the sharks that were swimming round and round. Well this was going to be a hefty task, just the scent of dead fish would send the creatures into a frenzy. He had seen it on the tv back when he was a house cat. His owner always watched animal planet and was drawn to the shark week special. "So just feed the hammerhead huh? You know the scent of these will send them into a frenzy..."
Standing still on the over hang, he took a breath and plunged into the tank, fish in hand, he watched the sharks swimming about, some turning sharply as he had once seen on tv and headed in his direction. Peachy, diving deeper, and through a small passage in the fake column in the center of the tank to the other side. Now where was that hammerhead...

Shamar couldn't help but laugh as Puff dove into the tank. She bit her lip watching him. She prayed he wouldn't get eaten by the sharks. Her heart nearly stopping as she watched the carnivorous beasts swim around the car. She held her breath, Okay maybe if he didn't finish this task but if he came out alive she'd let him into the territory anyways. She watched as the sharks swam around him a few snapping at him. It was then that hammer head appeared swimming towards the small cat. Shamar couldn't help it she covered her eyes peeking slightly threw her fingers waiting to see what was going to happen.

Puff drifted amongst the predators, ones higher on the food chain then himself. A few snapped at him, swaying a little he whopped one in the nose, though it was a mere tickle for the most part before he turned towards the hammerhead that was swimming his way. Ears flaking back even farther then they already were. He swam forwards, avoiding the other sharks the best he could until he was just about underneath the hammer head. Digging his claws into the shark's underbelly, he remained there for a moment as the other sharks seemed to circle some as the hammerhead thrashed about, trying to get what ever it was off. Tossing the fish close to its mouth, though they just barely brushed against its sensitive skin. Puff released his hold and swam for safety, not looking back to see if the sharks were behind him or not. His lungs screamed for air and he could feel like he were going to pass out right there in the tank. Also, he wasn't hungry anymore, not after almost being a meal himself.
Breaking the surface of the water he swam to the feeding platform and hauled himself onto it and collapsed coughing and sputtering a bit. Shaking his head, trying to get the water from his ears, he looked back to the water that was still alive with sharks, some cresting the surface, others remaining below, but all were looking for their own share, maybe even fighting with the hammerhead, but for all he cared about, was that he was out of the water and back on dry land...

Shamar could only clap for the cat. She hadn't ever seen anything like what he'd done. "Ya know. I didn't think you'd actually do it." She told him beginning to crawl her way up towards him. She sighed softly trying to think of either something else to have him do or to just let him into the territory. It was clear to her that he could take care of himself and that he could be here but she wasn't sure if Spinner would let her get away with something like this. She had to think this one over for a few minuets. "you still alive?" She asked him standing over him.

Puff was still alive, very alive. Remaining still for a moment, he soon was on his feet and shaking himself dry. Though his hair and tail fluffed out most unsightly. Shaking his head he grinned up at the female, scratching the back of his head as if he had done something foolish.
"Did the hammerhead get the fish?" It didn't seem like he cared that he was almost killed in there. By either eaten by shark, or drown then eaten by shark. "What's next?"
Perky as usual, he sat on the platform, ears twitching a little as he listened to the movements behind him. Well that hadn't been too hard. Risking life and limb to join a territory, but he had a feeling that there was something else, stomach growling again he remembered that he was hungry.
