"Call it paranoia I guess. Maybe I just am. Oh what the hell.". And
the lion gulped it down in one swig.

He then saw Lori standing there with a big evil grin on her face.
"The bathroom was tied up at the moment, I guess I shouldn't have
drunk all of that grapejuice," she said sarcastically. "And the moral
of this story is, don't leave your drink unattended.".

retching sounds were heard.
Several minutes later, Stanley is walking down the stairs, wearing
his jacket, a scowl on his face. The first one to see him was Ari.
"Where are you going?" the vixen asks, before noticing the scowl on
the feline's face.
"I'm leaving, that's what. I don't like being embarrassed in front of
people liked that. I came here to have a good time, not to be the
butt of someone's stupid prank. I had enough of that foolishness when
I was a little cub back in West Philly. Call it pride if you will,
but I refuse to stay in the same place with a practical joker." The
feline looks at Lori, giving her the evil eye. Looking back at Ari,
he adds, "Sorry Ari, but I don't stay in places I don't feel welcome.
Don't worry, I've already called for a cab to take me to the airport.
Goodbye." With that, the lion storms out the house and closes the
door with a loud bang.
The other looks at Lori.
"What?!?" says the skunkette.
"That wasn't very nice," says Ari.
"Nice going scaring away one of the guests," adds Scrapper.
"Sis, I think you should go out and apology to him while he's still
in the neighborhood," says Natasha.
"I concur," adds Onyx.
"And if I refuse?"
The others just gave Lori nasty looks. Deciding that if would be
better not to find out what the others might do, Lori says, "Alright,
I'll go apology to the lion. Not my fault he was stupid enough to
leave his cup there." As Lori mumbles a few swear words under her
breathe, she walks to the door and opens it, just in time to see a
cab drive off to the west.
"Ahhh, hee hee, it might be a little hard to apology to Stanley,
guys, his cab had just left. I guess we have to forget about it..."
"Oh no, you're going to go after that cab and apology to him, NOW,
even if it means going all the way to the airport," says Ari, with a
low snarl.
"Okay, okay," says Lori, obviously realizing that her prank wasn't
worth this hazle, starts walking towards the end of the street,
hoping to catch the cab, when she and everyone else hears, "Gee,
Lori, what's your hurry. You can apology to me right here."
The skunkette turns around, and sees leaning against the wall a
smiling lion. "So, how does it feel being on the other end of a
pratical joke?"
"But, I saw that cab..."
"Oh that. Hee hee. I did call a cab, but I'd paid the driver to leave
the very moment he saw the door open up. It was priceless to see your
face when Ari snarled at you. I wished I had a camera on me to record
it."
"But, how were able to pull that off?" asks Ari, who stood in the
doorway.
"Very simple, if you knew the bunch I'd run around with nowadays, you
knew you have to be very fast on your feet with a reply to one of
their pranks." Now looking at Lori, he says, "Moi am waiting fer zee
apology, mon cherie." The lion grinned as the others laugh at the
feline's faux Pepe le Pew accent.
"Okay, here's your apology, I'm going to get even with you, mister."
With that, Lori walks back into the house.
"I accept your apology, madame," says the lion sarcastically, as he
bows before Lori, as she walked by him.
The lion straightens up, he heard Ari asks, "Aren't you worried?"
"Nope," he says, as he heads back inside. "I just hope she'll come up
with something a little more elaborate than what she did earlier. I
mean, how sophmorish." He then closes the door behind him.
"Beside, if I had really leaving in a huff, I would've taken the
package with me."
Stanley
