"I wouldn't smell any better," he said with a smile, "Now that I thnk about it, you never told us your name. Would you mind me asking?"

She stops and looks at him, "Under one condition. If you can beat me back to the colony i will." She darts toward the colony.

"It's going to be that way huh," he said to himself before getting down on all fours and darting after her.

She travels quickly, and flawlessly through the buildings and the streets.

Climbing into the trees, he began jumping from limb to limb, not having to bother going around obsticles.

She gets into the lighting area of the colony.

"You're pretty good," he said landing next te her, "Haven't had a good run like in a long time."

"This was the first.... one in............ years," she says panting. She leans against a wall and looks at the sky. "My names Jasmine."

"Considering that you had been in suspention for who know how long, that was still pretty good," he said noticing Sasha against the wall, "Wonder why she's just sitting out here this late."

"I don't know... Let's go see," she walks over to her. "Hey are you OK?"

"I'm fine," she said quietly as she looked up to Jasmine, he eyes a little red from her crying.

"Tell us the truth," she says sitting beside her.

"My children are nothing but dried up husks, killed but whatever destroyed this city," she said placing her head back between her knees, "I was foolish to think they would have lived this long."

"Sasha, i'm so sorry," she says hugging her.

"I wish I had never been caught, then I could have been with them on that day," she said bringing her tail around to rest at her feet, "Why did I have to be so slow?"
