An unlikely freindship (Private rp with Abbster)

[Abbster]

Autumn was crouching low in her cat tree. Where it was dark and cozy. She had her ball with her and she was slinking further back against her hiding spot each time a clap of thunder would hit. She poked her head out of her hiding spot, and looked around for a moment, and then lightning lit up the sky and Autumn slunk right back into her cat tree again. Trembling. She would hiss every now and again, her eyes darting around. Her cat tree made her feel safe, mostly because it was big, and there was a lot of different places she could hide in if she wanted to. Autumn suddenly felt thirsty, so she slowly crept out of her cat tree and made her way towards her water dish.

Rusty got to his paws he knew how scared Autumn must be normally the humans would be there to reassure her everything was alright this time it was his turn, he walked over towards Autumn's water dish but stayed out of her way he knew how scared Autumn was by the way her fur was laying on her spine and her tail was slightly fluffed up, he then rolled onto his back a few feet away from Autumn's water dish he was trying to comfort her by being a goofball, his tail kept wagging as he laid on his back he couldn't see Autumn very well upside down, but he knew that Autumn was probably looking up from her water dish thinking he looked ridiculous on his back with his tail wagging.

[Abbster]

Autumn finished drinking her water and she looked up and over at Rusty. Tilting her head to the side at the way he was laying. "What are you doing?" She asked him, as she trotted over to him. Her eyes then sparkled. She saw a chance to attack. She smiled and jumped, leaping onto his belly, and batting it lightly with her paws. She purred happily as she walked along his belly, knowing her little paws tickled his belly fur. She let out a little morrow of laughter, waiting for his reaction

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty would wag his tail really hard the sound of it thumping on the floor could be heard, "I am trying to cheer you up I see it is working" Rusty said well playfully trying to nip her with his teeth as she walked across his belly which caused him to make a panting sound that sounded like he was laughing as her paws tickled his belly, which caused his tail to wag faster as a result of his panting laughter, he found this very enjoyable as it helped to reach some itchy spots he couldn't easily reach himself.

[Abbster]

Autumn purred. "Thanks" She said, jumping off his belly a while later and sitting down, curling her tail around her paws. "I know the storm will end soon...but I don't think thats what I'm most worried about" Autumn admitted. "Have you heard our housefolk talking about the recent break ins around the neighbor hood?" Autumn asked. "I heard them saying that dogs and cats have been stolen from houses!" She whispered, her fur standing on end.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty would look at Autumn after getting to his four paws "I have heard the other dogs in the neighborhood talk about it but no I don't think their interest is in us thereafter expensive goods like electronics and fine jewelry" Rusty said, he knew that the thieves would eventually strike there home but for now, he was on high alert this was there home they would have to protect it until their masters/house folk returned from the thing called vacation they would be so proud of him and Autumn for defending the home from threats.

[Abbster]

Autumn nodded. "I heard some of my friends talk about it too" She said. "Remember that calico?" She asked. "Her name's Mapleflower." Autumn said. "Yea, anyway, she said that the thieves waited until it was night time to strike her house" Autumn said, with a shudder. "I really hope that doesn't happen while our housefolk are out." She said, with a look to the ground and then back up at Rusty. "what are we going to do if it does?" She asked. "We can't protect the jewelry, we're just a dog and a cat" Autumn said

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty looked at Autumn no longer afraid of the storm he had a determined look in his eyes "We will defend the home if the thieves dare to strike" he said as he looked around the room they were in for supplies they could use to distract the thieves, "I have noticed that most crooks seem rather easily distracted maybe we can use that to our advantage" Rusty said as he spotted a silver fork on the counter and started to think of a plan in his head, he knew Autumn was right that the thieves could easily steal jewelry but he wasn't going to let them not without a plan.

[Abbster]

Autumn tilted her head. "And how do you plan to do that?" She asked, as she saw him looking at a sliver fork. "If you're suggesting I jump on the counter to get that fork, think again" Autumn said, as she let out a morrow of laughter. "There is NO way I would even be able to get up there, even if I wanted to" She said, beginning to think. "Well....I suppose I could just jump on the chair stool by the breakfast bar...and then jump from there to the counter" Autumn said, as she thought over the plan. "But I still think its a bad idea, I mean if I fall, I could get hurt" She said.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty shook his head "No I am not going to use that fork but it did give me a idea maybe we could create a trap for them one that will make sure they leave our house without stealing a thing" Rusty said as he looked around for any item at a safe enough height for them both to grab, he then saw a bag of flour sticking out from a unsecured pantry "Find any item you can reach safetly maybe the items we grab will help us come up with a trap" Rusty said as he walked over to the open pantry and grabbed the bag of flour carefully in his teeth and brought it into the kitchen, then he went back for some smaller items like a can of soup and a bottle of vegetable oil which he placed beside the bag of flour on the floor.

[Abbster]

Autumn titled her head. What was a bag of flour going to do? She wondered. Shrugging she padded around the house and looked for something to use. She sniffed the corners, but knew she wouldn't find anything there. It was a corner. What was that gonna do? Thinking hard now, Autumn pads up to the second floor of the house and goes into the housefolk's bedroom. She sniffed around and then found a hair brush. That could do something! Autumn picked up the hair brush and then trotted back down stairs. "LO-OK! I FO-UN-D A HA-IR BR-U-SH!" Autumn said to Rusty with her mouth full of a hair brush.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty would look at Autumn trying not to laugh at the way she was carrying the hairbrush, "Nice if only we could find some kind of string or rope" Rusty said as he looked at all the items they had found so far, he knew they needed some heaiver items but they were not within reach of either of them and would need a creative solution to get to them, "Can you see if you find some kind of string or rope I will see if I can get some heavier objects" Rusty said as he pushed a chair with his front paws towards the open pantry, and jumped up onto the chair he looked for anything that he could carry easily without falling off the chair, but it wasn't easy as big tins of food weighted a lot so he had to be careful.

[Abbster]

"SU-RE" Autumn said, dropping the hair brush on the floor and then racing back up the stairs. Autumn sniffed hard and she looked around. She knew the housefolk's had a daughter, who was named Felicity. Felicity probably had a bunch of string or rope lying around her room as she loved to pull pranks on her brother, Oliver. Trotting into Felicity's room, Autumn looked around. The bed was made nicely, so that wouldn't help. Autumn looked under the bed and found nothing. But then, she remembered that Felicity kept all her pranking things in her closet. Autumn purred to herself and then trotted over to the closet door. Dang. It was closed. She jumped onto Felicity's side table and then landed on the rope that was hanging down from it. Unfortunately, her claws got stuck and she was unable to get them loose. "Little help, please" Autumn meowed as loudly as she could for Rusty.

(will add pics of what Felicity, Oliver, the parents, and all their rooms look like in a second)

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Rusty grabbed two heavy tins of food and dropped them before heading upstairs towards Felicity's room to help Autumn get her claws lose, he grabbed her arms gently and pried them free of the rope as he grabbed it with his jaws he then dropped it for Autumn to grab before heading back downstairs to finish the job he had started, in the end he had about five diffrent tins of food that had diffrent weights which he brought back to the pile one at a time because of how heavy they were.

[Abbster]

"Thanks" Autumn said to Rusty as the closet door swung open with his help. She pushed the door open more with her nose and padded inside. It was a bit dark in the closet, but she could still see from the glow of the light coming from the window. Of course, the housefolk usually left the lights on for Autumn and Rusty when they went on vacation, and if they didn't then the house sitter would. Autumn found a thing of string laying on the ground and she let out a satisfied meow. Picking it up in her teeth and then trotting back downstairs with it.
