Two dazzlingly beautiful women, and one ugly duckling hamster...
----<Snip>----
Allie cocked her head, pretending to think over what
to say. She had decided what to say hours before.
"Well, I dunno-Just kidding. Of course I will, Wolfie!" she squealed.
She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"You know, I never thought I would get married," she admitted
suddenly. "When I was younger, I just didn't want to. Then, I died
and just thought it was impossible." She kissed him again. "I love
you so much."
----<End Snip>----
"Yeah, I love you too, Allie." Replied the overgrown hamster, "Did
Holly also tell you I made 7 o'clock dinner reservations, and
preordered your favorite, Crab & Pretzels?"
"No, he didn't.", said Allie smiling happily, "Where are we going?"
"La' Regal Mckenzies." replied the Hamster.
"oh my, very formal... I'll need some time to get dressed up. I hope
you won't mind waiting." Replied Allie, giving him a final hug,
before breaking away and heading for her closet.
"Oh, that's alright, Allie. I've got a few administrative things I
can wrap up before our dinner date, How's about I drop by at around
quarter to 7 to pick you up?"
"That'll be perfect, Wolfie. I'll see you then!" called back Allie
from inside her closet.
"ok, see you later!"

A short while later, the big hamster walked by Dean and Amber as he
approached Katrina's living quarters.
"How's it going?" He asked politely.
Dean and Amber just mumbled something and fixed him with a glare as
he went by.
As the huge hamster stopped in front of Katrina quarters he muttered
to himself, "If looks could kill, I'd be cripier than bacon bits by
now... Ahh, the burden of command.", then he door chime, Katrina
called him in.
"Hello, Commander." Greeted Katrina.
"Ahh Katrina! It looks like the R&R is certainly doing you some good.
Is your leg mending well?" greeted back the overgrown hamster.
"Oh, yes - my leg isn't sore anymore. Though, I sorta wish I didn't
have to have such a nasty scar
on my thigh...", Katrina paused, seemingly at a loss for what to say
next and then asked, "But, I'm probably wasting your time - you came
here about by annual performance review?"
"Yes, I did. I'm here to inform you that I'm sending an exemplary
report rating into the JMC. Not only because of the surprising
cleaning job you've done without any help under some *pretty trying*
circumstances that the Blue Dwarf's endured over the last year - But,
more importantly, was the fact that you've shown plenty of dedication
to your job. Especially, since your supevisor's been a mouldering
corpse in the breifing rooms loo, since before his last performance
review..." The huge hamster paused, and then held out his paw to
Katrina, "And so, because of all that - I'm promoting you to the
Chief Sanitation Officer of the Blue Dwarf! Congratulations,
Katrina."
