Tony woke up and tried to remember where he was. This didn't look like his apartment... oh yes, the house in the woods. The hollow. Wow, what a ride. This magic stuff was exciting, never a dull moment.

Tony got up and stretched, looked at what he was wearing. Ugh, his suit was getting a bit more wrinkled and dirty. Like to head to his apartment and get some real clothes. First he'd go down to the porch and try to relax, it wasn't easy for him but he was going to have to get used to it.

Tony walked downstairs, waving off an offer of breakfast and headed to the pourch and sat down, closed his eyes and relaxed. Tony had his eyes closes for a couple minutes then frouned, something wasn't right. Tony opened his eyes and looked at the woods, what the heck, why were there broken branches all over? Tony walked to one of the trees and layed his hands on it and opened himself to it's condition and felt it's pain. Most people thought that plants didn't feel pain, but they do. Tony cast another spell and made it all better, feeling the tree smile. Tony smiled and looked for another hurt tree and saw Kassidy with her hands on one. This would go much faster then...

...an hour later the trees were happy again, Tony could just *feel* it, and with an armful of broken branches walked back to the house and put the branches on the side to dry. Then he sat back down on the porch and closed his eyes and tried to relax...

"Meow?", Tony felt Fluffy settle on his lap and pet him a bit trying to relax...
"Bark!", Tony opened his eyes and saw one of the foxes looking at him questionly. Tony sighed and cast the spell allowing him to communicate with animals.
"What was that?", Tony asked.
"I said Are you going to eat that." Tony looked at where the fox was staring on his lap.
"Oh, no, I'm not going to eat Fluffy.", Fluffy gave him a distainful look.
"Well, can I have it then? I haven't had a cat in a few months.", the fox looked hungry.
"No. Please don't eat Fluffy. Fluffy is the pet of a lady staying here now and it would be very immpolite to eat them. Fluffy is a guest. It would upset Kassidy and I also.
The fox nodded, "I'll spread the word" and walked into the trees.
Tony closed his eyes again then felt claws dig into his lap.
Tony opene his eyes and looked down, "Pet? She is my pet. I'm not hers. And it's Omnipotent Fluffy, thank you very much." Fluffy got off his lap and walked into the house.
Tony shook his head and closed his eyes...

After two hours Tony stood up and stretched, time to head into town and get some clothes. After a quick trip into town Tony returned wearing blue jeans a tee shirt and leather jacket with more clothes in the trunk of his car.

Tony spent the rest of the day studying the book munching on celery sticks.
