A Night Out
Alex was excited and nervous at the same time. Mel and he were going out to dinner. Out. At a restaurant. Alex hadn't been out to eat at a restaurant since he was twelve. Tonight not only was he going out in public, but with Mel. That was the part that made him nervous.

Jordan's planning had arranged all of this. Alex wondered what he had done to deserve such good friends and teammates.

It was silly, but he looked at himself in the mirror. He wanted to make sure his fur was clean and he was presentable. He wouldn't embarrass Mel if he could help it. A quick look at the clock told him that if he dallied any longer, he'd be late and that wouldn't be a good thing on his first night out.

He ran out of the room.
