TLC

Kai13 stood nervously playing with his fore lock. He had no idea why he was there. The call had come earlyer. Kai13 bite his lip, wondering if he had done something wrong.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Kai13 almost jumped out of his boots.

Remma smiled at him, seeing just how on edge he was. "I'm sorry for dragging you out this late, but I had to talk to you."

"What about?" Kai13 stamered.

"You know that it's Heather's turn tommarow." she said matter-of-factly.

"Yes." said Kai13. He wasn't quite sure how he felt about his mistress, Fields of Heather being the recipeant of this weeks Tradition. Part of him was happy for her. But another part wanted to lash out at the original. How dare he move in on his mistress even for one day. Kai13 unconsously ground his teeth together at the thought of another Kai feeding chocolate to his delicate flower, his sweet Heather.

Remma's voice caught Kai13's atention again, "I called you here because there is a slight problem, Kai can't make it, he won't be there tommarow."

"But... but what about the Tradition?" asked Kai13, shocked.

"It's still on, we haven't missed one yet and we're not gonna start now. That is way I called you, YOU are going to fill in for Kai." said Remma.

"But... but I'm.."

"The perfect choice." interupted Remma, "You already know all of Heather's likes and dislikes, and who else but you could make this Friday the best she's ever known?"

"But what if I mess up?" said Kai13.

"You won't." smiled Remma.

Kai13 snuck back into the house. Peeking in the bedroom, he found Heather still asleep. Silently he sliped into bed, pulling Heather close to his side. She stured in her sleep but didn't wake, snuggling agenst him.

Kai13 gently ran his fingers threw her hair, wondering just how he was going to make this the best Friday Heather had ever known. Slowly, he began forming a plan.

*****

Heather stuck her head under the shower head, letting the hot water run down her head and back. Silently she wished that this Friday was over already. It had not started out well.

First she woke up to the phone ringing, one of her coworkers was haveing fits cause she couldn't find the box to a particular figuren. It took ten minutes to get her to understand there was no box. Then she burnt breakfast, the shirt she had wanted to ware had a stain, she lost her brush, the washer went up, she broke not one but two glasses while trying to wash them.

Misty was giveing her dirty looks for no good reason, even thought she had plenty of cat food and water and her litter box was clean. Jade was being bad today, she had chewed up a throw rug, raided the trash, had spent a good hour barking at nothing, and to top that, she was ignoring Heather. Ignoring her!!!!!

Thinking a little gardening would help her mood, she had gone out back only to find a large, ugly, thorny plant trying to smoother her rose bush. It had taken a while but she had gotten the horid thing out, only after getting numerous scratches from both plants.

But the thing that made it almost unbearable was that Kai13 wasn't there. He had gone out shoping that morning and still wasn't back. He did check in regularly, calling ever two hours so she wouldn't worry.

Heather turned the water off, winceing. He hands were covered with little scratches that were gonna need lots of bandaids. Although, with her luck, she was proabably out of them. She wrapped a towel around herself and stepped out of the shower.

Heather froze, looking around. Someone had turned the lights off and lite small candles, scattering them around the room. Her clothes were gone, replaced with a thin pale violet nightgown and wrap. She picked up the nightgown, she didn't have anything like it. As she wondered where it had come from a pair of hands touched her shoulder.

Heather almost jumped out of her skin untill she heard Kai13's voice in her ear, "Do you like it?"

"Yes." she said softly.

"Good, put it on." said Kai13 softly agenst her neck before stepping back. Heather spun around in time to see the door close behind him. Realizing she was standing there in only a towel, she quikly changed. The nightgown was her size and the lenth she liked, just below her knees.
