I'm having nothing to do with trendy modern eating irons!

There! Fixed it!

EEeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuw!

*Blows anchovy crumb dust and tumbleweed off the unusually quiet bar*

*Gets out of the pool and finds herself all alone in the alley. Calls out for anybody.. but hears only echoes from the murals. Goes back into the Pub and sees Kes sitting by himself drawing in the dust on the bar with his finger. The two cats are by his feet. Tucks the coverlet around Pandora's bare feet while she still slumbers on the Blue Goo Couch.

They are so gorgeous though!
