This is soooo boring!" Ember moaned. She lay upside down in one of the bowl chairs. The tips of her ears brushing the floor.
Ash was busy coping the book that was in front of her and trying her best to ignore her sister.
"Why is there a french fry howling at the moon?" Ash paused in her writing. French fry?
"Are you almost done, yet?" Ember whined.
Ash twitched her antenna but refused to stop her work. "If you are bored you could go do something more exciting to do. " Ash stated. She turned the page in the book and got a clean sheet of paper from the stack and continued writing.
Ember got up from her upside down position and came to where her sister was working. She reached across the table and grabbed the book.
"Ember! You can't just take the book I am copying!" Exasperated with her sister she grabbed the book from her sisters white paws.
She quickly thumbed through the pages until she found the page she had been and placed it on the table where she had placed it before.
"So it wasn't a french fry." She heard her sister mutter.
Ash looked at her sister as if she had grown a second head. "Of course it's not a french fry! Why would anyone put an image of a french fry on the cover of a book!" She sat down heavily in her chair and picked up the pen she had dropped when she grabbed for the book.
It was then that they heard a small thump from the closed library doors. Ash looked at Ember then started to once again work on her book. She heard Ember sigh. She was half way through the first sentence when she heard another thump then some grunting and a small chirped "A little help here?"
Ash could tell that she was probably not going to get done today so she closed the book and walked over to where her sister and a very tiny blob were standing. The wings on her back fluttered angerly. The only outward sign of her emotions.
Now that she was closer and her sister was not blocking the sight she saw that this blob was not only tiny but covered in thick fur not unlike the meowlers. It had four legs and the two tails ended in black tips.
"Oh thank you, thank you." came the squeeky voice. "Now I need to speak to the Librarian! It's of utmost importance!"
"I am a Librarian." Ash stated.
"What? No, I mean the real librarian!" The little blob squeeked.
"The Librarian is busy right now but I assure you that I also am a librarian." Ash said calmly. "If you want I can relay your message to her for you."
The little brown blobs floppy ears went down. "But, but I need to tell her that my book was stolen!"
