Phase 1

Mallory awoke to the soft sleepy purrs of Stella cuddling up next to her on the couch. The small smile that had curled onto Mallory's lips proudly displayed her emotions to her current situation. However the numbness of her right hand would probably say otherwise. Utilizing her left hand Mallory gently poked at Stella's cheek until she began to stir awake.

"Hmm what's wrong Mallory."

"Well first you're drooling on my numb arm and second we got stuff to do today."

"Oh right!" squeaked Stella as she hastily wiped the gentle silver threads connecting her to Mallory's arm.

Mallory couldn't help but giggle as Stella tried to make herself presentable which immediately grabbed the panicking girl's attention. In response Stella surprised Mallory with a lick across her cheek that left a glistening trail.

"Ewww~ Stella what was that?"

"Hmph!" replied Stella while crossing her arms and turning her head away.

"Okay I am sorry Stella."
