[Firox]

*that fire fang also caused him to faint*
*tie, win, or loss?? for ? that is*

   *Happy Easter* 


*next day*
*I get up, looking around*
*Grace fell asleep all the way in the top row of the cat tree, with the empty box of cream filled chocolate eggs* 


*I head out to grab something*
*I returns with six boxes, smelling good*
*inside are three large orders of sesame chicken and three orange chicken*


*I shares and spend time with the sox, Fi, and Ethan, nomming and watching videos*

[?]

* yawns and relaxes*

[Firox]

*first thing you sees; in on back, pawing at air, with Kev pouncing on head fur, Matt rolling near chin, Ethan pawing at my left ear*


*looking around: rest either asleep or nibbling*

[?]

*looks over and greets, mostly relaxing*

[Firox]

*can't answer to greet while getting pounced as three laugh and growl playfully*


*next to you is Grace watching and nibbling some sesame chicken, drinking lemonade*


*Firox and Flower mixing dough*


*rest getting up from nap*

[?]

*giggles and watches*

[Firox]

*to ?'s right, a loud yawn heard, followed by some stretching, and growling stomach - its Jyo getting up too*
*Grace turns to loo, laughs*
"mormmmmffffmmmff" *speaking with maw full of chicken*
*trying to say* "how are you"


*three get up from me - now Enis leaps on my head fur, asking* "can we getz rematch at chess?"
*I nod* "after meal we can"


*Firox and Flower pass the dough through a machine that stretching dough,, another to cut it into long strands*
*once Vay is up, she starts making a tasty sauce*
*Arval arrives with various cuts of meats, pass them through the grinder along with seasoning to form 'ground meat' then forms them into meatballs*
*Vay cooks them in the sauce*


*from the looks of it - its turning into spaghetti meal*
*after den time almost 30 minutes later, pasta nearly ready, Firox and Flower just waiting on the meatballs and marinara to be ready*


*I go out with Enis to pick up two loafs of garlic bread*






*from looks of it, I guess your gone again, see next time if you decides to come, seems to be shorter and shorter every visit*

[?]

*giggles then happily watches as the food is cooked*

[Firox]

*two of us come back with garlic bread, as the younger Vee on me, is nibbling a small slice of one, getting crumbs on me*




*once the meatballs are done*
*Arval made two sizes, small size and the larger sized meatballs*
*Vay to ?* "would you like bigger sized or smaller sized?"

*as Firox and Flower are cooking the pasta for each bowl*
*once the pasta ready, they toss it with some sauce before adding to bowls, spoon over meatballs on desired size*
*add two big slices of garlic bread*


*as usual the first ones to get the meal are the six smaller Eevees, followed by Ethan and Fi, then ?*


*all sit by the TV screen to start watching a comedy movie*
*many get silly stains from the sauce, or pieces of meat around cheeks or muzzle, or pieces of pasta by paws, all enjoy it*
*Vay passes all fresh juice to drink, this time mango juice*


*the rest of us have to wait for more pasta to be cooked, good thing it doesn't take long*


*den time about an hour later*
*after the main spaghetti meal, Grace made an ice cream cake for dessert, as Jyo cuts it into shareable pieces for all*

[?]

*happily thanks for the food n starts to enjoy*

[Firox]

*even if still messy, all six of the Vees now get messy with the ice cream cake*
*as I finish up the spaghetti, watching the comedy movie, I did promised Enis the Vee a rematch*


*we get back on the chess board, while Zoran and Iordan watch us as they enjoy the meal*




*Vay gets all  the sleeping areas ready before she starts on dessert*

[?]

*sits up to watch the cheese match while some of the ice cream cake* 

[Firox]

*before starting, we toss a coin to see who gets to move first*
"yes!! I won the toss, now will win the game too"
*I taunt playfully, making the first move*
*young Vee giggles, making the second move*


*some come to watch*
*others like Linette, Grace, and Flower stay with the other younger ones watching the movie in case they want seconds, or a warm place*


*about 30 minutes den time later - I seem to be on top, so I start feeling 'over confident' that I'll win it, that was until the young Vee found a way,  is setting up the pieces for it*

[?]

*stretches while watching the game* 

[Firox]

*I make my move next, falling "into the trap" once the younger Vee makes the next move, I catch the piece, but I leave the 'king' exposed, two quick moves later, I see mistake a bit too late*


*younger Vee makes the last move... happily says out loud*
"Vee wins again" 


*I has to admit it, won fair and square*
"I'll get my rematch and win next time"
*all watching applaud the Vee, and for winning, it announces*
"howz about pizza meal next time"
*nibbles the last of the ice cream cake*
