Actually, I am thinking of something like that happening in the sequel...

Hehe, yes, they definitely seem to be working out that way now.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awww, thank you...

Penelope and Harrison should be very happy together!

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Awww, thank you!

Thank you. He is a bit unsure. I think he's becoming comfortable enough to talk with and be around them all now, but if he thinks he could be in trouble he may feel worried about being punished somehow.

Well, because of several reviewers hoping to see Penelope's reaction, I actually stopped yesterday to write it for you all! That's the beauty of GA, the readers and reviewers are so inspirational and just make me want to keep on writing. So thanks!

Of course, if I didn't have readers and reviewers like you and everyone here I wouldn't be so inspired to write, so thank you very much!

Hehe

So glad you enjoyed it!

As always, thank you for taking the time to read and review it as well.

Thank you! Your comments about wanting to see Penelope get her gift inspired me to write it! Hope you enjoy that one too!

I'm so glad you liked it. I actually had not written him giving her the fan until I read the comments here like yours and realized you all might want to see that! So thanks, you inspired me to write more!

Hehe, yeah, my mom used to have one, and that's all I thought it did when I'd see the dust motes floating in the air.

So glad you liked it! Figured it might be cute it Kayden was actually doing something with the feathers he was collecting.

Thank you! I really try to imagine what my cat would have done when I think of ways Kayden might react to things.

Prompt # 340--First Line: "There's no way that I'm going in there!" Nuptial Dinner "There's no way that I'm going in there!" Kayden hissed, backing up into Ysmenia. "Yes, you are," she insisted. "You know that Lord Damien would want you with him." Kayden stared at the group of people gathered in the parlor. There were several people he didn't know, like the vicar and some musicians that were apparently supposed to play at the wedding and reception. Damien was standing with the vica

Prompt #368--First Line: "You'll get it back over my dead body!" Stupid Feather Duster "You'll get it back over my dead body! I just made this one." Kayden cringed back at the shrill voice as the older woman swiped her dust-smearing contraption out of his hand. He didn't understand her attachment to the stick with Azule's feathers attached to it. It's not like she ever actually played with it. She just used it to scatter dust back into the air. It was a waste of Azule's perfectly

Okay, so just wanted to let those who want to see the sequel to the Tears of the Neko soon know that I have actually started writing it. I've written the first chapter and I'm in the middle of the second. I think the beginning of stories can be hard to write since you have to set things up. So it's a little slower going than others I've written. I also just wanted to let people know that the Neko Shorts are not keeping me from writing the sequel. I know it may seem like because I am posting a lot of little neko shorts that I am avoiding working on the sequel. I assure you, this is not the case. Most of the neko shorts have already been written. I have been using the wonderful writing prompts here as a jumping point to get me back into thinking about the Neko Universe (as Cia called it ). So I'm not writing the neko shorts instead of writing the sequel, I'm writing them in conjunction with it. So, depending on how much I can get written, I plan to send at least part of the sequel to my betas (Cannd and Faxity) probably after Christmas. It's a busy time for everyone, so I wouldn't expect to start posting the sequel until January. In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the neko shorts; there are probably only two or three more coming... Thank you to everyone who has reviewed All In, Tears of the Neko, and the Neko shorts. It is very inspiring to read them, and there would never be a sequel coming if it hadn't been for all the great reviews and inspiration from my readers.

My youngest is more my writer. When she'd have to use spelling words in a sentence, she would come up with these long, elaborate ones. Which would be fine, if we weren't in a hurry to finish homework so she could get to gymnastics on time--the oldest, would be like 'what's the minimum number of words I can use?' She's always seemed to want to write more and actually is very good at story writing for an 11 year old. She knows how to portray a dialogue and develop characters, but her spelling is horrendous--thank goodness for spell check for her. And they both at least are doing pretty well with the typing. But of course, the younger one hates to read. It's like my genes were split between the two or something, hehe.

I really enjoyed this story. It was rather chilling to read about the massive infection and deaths, and then to watch the development of all three of the main characters, especially Jessie.

hehe, most definitely be careful what you say!

Thank you so much.
