July 4th, 2006
Vix is in the bathroom, light off, door closed, brushing his fur as it air dries.
"Vix!" Alaric calls out.
Vix looks at the door. "When did they get home?" Vix mutters.
Alaric runs upstairs. "Vix! Are you up here?"
"I'm in the bathroom." Vix says.
Alaric goes to the bathroom door, knocking.
Vix continues brushing his fur dry. "Come in, Prince."
Alaric opens the door.
"Hey! We get to have a picnic and watch fireworks today!" Alaric exclaims.
"Why? What's today?" Vix asks.
"Indipendence day!" Alaric replies. "Or, the fourth of July is what some people say!"
"Alright?" Vix says, confused.
"We get to just sit around on the ground, eat, and watch fireworks!" Alaric exclaims.
"Do I have to go with you, Prince?" Vix asks.
"Please! Everyone else there besides Cathie is boring! Plus, you know how much Cathie loves seeing you every time!" Alaric replies.
Vix sighs. "Alright, for Princess I'll definitely go."
"Yes!" Alaric replies.
"Could I finish drying off first though? Do you know how annoying it is to have wet hair when you have to be somewhere outside?" Vix asks.
"No, I don't." Alaric replies. "People always dry my hair for me."
Vix speaks. "Yes, but I am not royalty, unlike you, Prince."
"I could ask them to dry your hair!" Alaric replies.
"No, but thank you. I would prefer my fur drying instead of just hair, it seems weird to have wet hair, unless I'm at a beach, then it's alright." Vix says.
Alaric shrugs. "Ooh! Can I please pick out an outfit for you?!"
"Depends if I'm alright with the outfit." Vix replies.
Alaric goes to his own closet and gets a yellow suit, he then goes back into the bathroom, giving the suit to Vix.
"How about this? Will you wear this?" Alaric asks.
"I suppose." Vix replies.
"Cool! See you downstairs!" Alaric exclaims, he then goes and runs downstairs.
Vix appears human then changes into the suit. "This is really fucking tight for what I'm use to…" Vix mutters as he brushes his hair and styles it.
Vix walks downstairs, fixing the tie.
"You look amazing!" Catherine exclaims. Alaric excitedly nods, agreeing with Catherine.
"Thank you, Princess." Vix replies.
"Let's go!" Margaret says.
Vix grabs Catherine's wheelchair, pushing her out to the van and helping her inside the van.
-They go to a hillside area with a lot of people-
Alaric and Margaret put a red and white plaid cover on the ground. Vix puts the baskets of food on the cover and everybody sits down.
Vix tries some spaghetti. "This is pretty good."
Alaric nods. "Chef Emily is a great chef!"
"She is!" Catherine replies.
"Yes, that's pretty obvious." Vix says.
They continue eating.
