Sitting on the bed, laughing at her shocked reaction, he replied, ''I know it wasn't polite. I'm a very rude person. Also, trust me, I have plenty of money.'' He says, thinking about the fact that he has more money than many humans are likely to see in their lifetimes.

Kirsty rolled her eyes "I can tell" She said with a small smile. "And that may be but what if you think its pleanty when it isn't really that much" She said looking at him in his eyes her own showing sadness and guilt about taking his money.

((fail i am so sorry)

[[Sorry! This ti
tle doesn't jump out at me for some reason. =/]]

''Trust me, it's a lot.'' He said, before moving on to what she said before that. ''And, hey, what's that supposed to mean? I'm not openly rude all the time...'' He trailed off, before standing up and walking to her window. Looking out, he opened it up, and began chirping, an incredible imitation of a starling.

((Its ok XD i thought it was becaus eof my epic fail))

Kirsty looked at him and laughed. "If you keep making them noises Rosie might attack you" She told him laughing dropping the subject about money for now knowing that they would argure about it till they where blue in the face. She stood up and walked over to the calender she had in her room looking at a date on the calender that was not circled or marked but was a sepical day for her. She knew that to everyone else in the world it would be normal as well but its the day she turned a year older. She wouldnt tell anyone about it because she didn't see any point in telling them not even her parents remembered it so why tell others.

She walked down the stairs to see a letter on her table addressed for her. She remembered picking it up the other day but she had yet to open it. Sitting down she opened it and began reading it. She was shocked with what it said.

The letter:

Dear Kirsty

I am writing this letter to inform you that we need your help. Me and your father are having money trouble and because of the money trouble your father has taken up drinking his problems away but really it doesnt help. If anything it puts us more into dept, I am begging you to leand us some money till we get back on our feet. We need $1000 to get rid of all our depts but we can only afford to pay off $200 of it please send us the other $800 when you can. Please i beg you Kirsty to help us.

Lots of Love

Your Mother.

Markus, slightly ticked off that she left, increased the volume of his whistle, and several little birds came and rested on his arm, so he kept it outstretched as he went downstairs. He walked into the room she was in, saying at the same time, ''Hey, Kirsty, you like birds, right?'' He stopped talking when he saw her standing over the table, and sensed she was little... off. Standing behind her, he asked, ''Hey, Kirsty, you ok? What's up?''

[[Naw. 'Sides, I fail a lot. XD]]

Kirsty looked at him smiling while hiding the letter. "Oh im fine" She said smiling and laughing before looking at the birds smiling at them. "Awwww their so cute" She said putting the letter in her pocket as she reached out to pet one of the birds.

She liked birds but didn't like the idea of keeping them locked up in cages when they where meant to be free to fly. So if someone was selling one she would buy it to set it free if it came back then that was good but she would never lock one away.

Walking over to the back door, Markus lifted his arm into the air, waiting for the birds to fly away. Instead, about a dozen or so more birds came and perched themselves on his shoulders, head, and the remaining space on his arm. One even flitted inside, to Kirsty, and sat on her shoulder, chirruping up at her lovingly.

He wondered what that letter was, if it was something to do with money again. He considered reading her mind, but thought better of it. ''Y'know, if you don't tell me what's up, I'll just read your mind and find out that way.'' He said.

Kirsty looked from the bird on her sholder to Markus. "It's nothing really just a letter from my parents. They never write and it was a shock to see a letter from them." She told him it was partly true but she couldn't belive they only wrote because they needed more money. They had done it in the past and she had gave them money but it seemed to be a habbit not and even though she doesn't want to give them the money she has to becuase they are her parents.

She looked at the bird before smiling again. "i will be right back i'm just going to write a letter back." She told him before going into her room and writing them a letter back before she put it in the envolope she put the money they needed in there as well leaving her with $100 left making her need to get a job even more now then before. Walking back down she smiled at Markus and walked to the door. "I am just walking to post this i'll be back it's not far" She said going outside and posting the letter luckily the mail man was here and took it from her.

Shaking his head, Markus gave a deep sigh and watched her go. She wasn't telling him everything, of that he was sure. There was nothing he could do though, so he just waved his arms upwards and watched as they flew off, along with chirping back to their chorus.

He went inside after she left to post the letter, and decided to mess around with he water again. He made shapes with it this time, doughnuts and cubes, along with more complex shapes, such as dolphins, fish, wolves and cats.

Kirsty watched the water wolf run in amazement. "That is great" She said smiling as she walked closer to it tilting her head as she watched it. She wanted to pet it but knew that was stupid.

Rosie walked in and hissed seeing two things she hates mixed together water and a dog. Why did you make that thing She hisses at Markus knowing he would be reponcible.

Rosie hissed at Markus again before walking up to Kirsty giving her a small mew making Kirsty pick her up and cuddle her.

Kirsty laughed while holding Rosie. She knew Rosie wouldn't go for the bird on her sholder because she was too old to chase it. She looked at Markus and laughed again. "You two really don't get along do you?" She asked him again while petting the now sleeping cat.

((my cat does that XD i pick her up she give a small meow then falls asleep in my arms purring XD))

[[lol.]]

''No, we don't. I think she has as much personality as a brick. Not even a classic red brick, either, a brown brick.'' He said, making a sharp, shrill, whistling sound to disrupt her sleep to tick her off. He closed the back door, and stretched his arms above his head, before leaning on a wall.

Kirsty watched as Rosie's ear twitched but she made no other movements. She then looked at Markus with a small smile "She had a great personality to the right people." She told him while petting Rosie slowly making her purr in happyness. She then walked over to Markus and lightly hit in playfuly "And let she sleep shes old." She said to him before walking into the living room and putting her on a soft pillow to sleep on and walking back into the kitchen.

She then looked at the bird on her sholder that hadn't flew off yet and stroked its head. "why hasn't He or She moved from my sholder? all the others are gone so why?" She asked himhoping he had a better idea then what she had.

Leaning over her shoulder and examining the small bird carefully, Markus made a few soft chirping sounds, very quietly, almost like a whisper. Satisfied, he replied, while still looking the bird over. ''It's an orphan, it's hungry, and it's winter.'' He said. ''It-sorry, he-expects you to feed him.'' He continued, walking away from her and going back over to the wall.

Kirsty looked at the small bird and smiled. "Well then on" She said with a small smile as she began to thing what this type of bird ate. She looked at Markus and tilted her head. "What do they eat?" She asked him hoping he knew more then her.

She had only ever had rosie and even then it was easy but birds like the one on her sholder she didn't know if it ate seads bread or worms. looking around her Kitchen she remembered having sunflower seeds and took the packet out incase the bird liked then.
