Lisa and you face to face, with a rock face.

Lisa is facing you laying next to you the bed, she just watches your face and ears as you watch hers. She seems very happy, she pulls herself a bit closer to you and wraps herself in your arms for which you untangled when she had rolled over. She nuzzles her muzzle into your neck and licks lightly at the back of your ear.

You feel as if she does not wish to talk as she does this, your worried maybe she is wondering why your not doing the same. So you press your muzzle against her cheek and start to lick the side of her face til you work your way behind her ear. Lisa seems to be happy you had copied her and so she now light nips at your ear, you instead decided to whisper random things into her ear til she stops nipping at your ear it does not take long.

Lisa looks at you funny and asks " What was that about?"

You smile and say " I felt maybe you could stop nipping at my ear like a puppy, and I figured the easiest way to do that was to confuse you."

Lisa groans and then says " I guess that is right, thou some of the things you said are not even words."

You smile and say " They happen to be sounds I use to say to my dog when I was a kid, the sounds use to always get him all worked up. I would say the sounds I was making in your ear are or would be related to what I felt it would sound like to speak in tongues."

Lisa smiles and says " It did have a strangely alluring affect, thou it made no sense at all."

You smirk and say " You are taken by my spell and now you will do my bidding."

Lisa laughs and then says " I am taken by your spell and I will do your bidding, wait? what spell am I taken by? Are you kidding? If you want me to do something just ask."

You kiss her on the nose and say " My point is made, I think you are just giving me a hard time now. What would your mother think if I sent you back to her?"

Lisa starts to sniffle and says " I don't think she would be to pleased to see me back when she expects me to spend a few days with you."

You laugh and say " Don't worry I was only pulling your leg." With that you reach down and lightly pull her leg.

Lisa starts to laugh again and says " You really are able to have fun doing almost anything, it was one of the things Max had told my mother. I was not one to believe it thou."

You smirk and add " Well why do you think I turned Abby and Petra to human besides the fact your mother needed measurements? I thought it would be fun!!"

Lisa scuffs again and says " The horrified look on their face when they realized they had ended up naked in front of strangers did not look like fun for them."

You shrug and say " It was for me, and it helped me learn something about both of them and them about one and other. So clearly it was in good fun."

Lisa gets serious for a moment and then asks " What are the odds of me being able to do what Petra did?"

You shrug and say " I got no idea, I have no idea why she was able to do it. let alone really why I can or Abby."

Lisa pouts and says " Really that is a bummer."

You shrug to her and say " Well, I don't know if Petra will end up aging like a human now or still like an Animorph. So with that kinda of question open in the air why would you want to be able to do it too."

Lisa nods again and adds " You know as well as I do that it would make mother happy, she even said so before she left."

You nod and say " We should not mess with things that should not happen, again at least til we understand it. You got plenty of time Lisa as does your mother, for us to figure it out and do it safely."

Lisa nods and says " I guess it's for the best since as you said it was a bit of an accident that it happen to Petra."

You nod in agreement and say " It was strange and since she is not here to explain how she felt or anything and we don't have recordings of anything since I asked for them to stop or delete anything that is not of importance. I guess there is no way of knowing right?"

Lisa agrees and gives you a kiss anyway, and says " We could go get something to eat or we could go check on others. Or I could show you some of my favorite places in the shop. You know there is more to this place then the quarters and swimming pool and excise room, and cafeteria."

You nod and say " I know a whole lot more, but it's so much that I have taken to just sticking to what I know for now and Max slow introduces more pieces to me."

Lisa smiles and says " can I please show you a small piece I like a lot?"

You shrug and say " I guess it's fair to say it's a good way for me to get to know more about you as you have about me."

Lisa smiles and gets up from the bed grabs your arm and starts to lead you out the door. You do not resist her but just follow her in the direction she is going, before long she leads you into what looks like a cave. It seems like a remote part of the shop.

Lisa comes to a stop and says " This is the expanding face of the shop, but because they struck location with water they have to change the plans because even the reports they had on construction before they got here did not include it. Or at least that is what mother told me after I found it and they stopped construction here. You will notice they reinforced the room but if you look over this way I know there is no light but your eyes should adjust soon."

You look on to see that there seems to be an underground waterfall in this room and start to wonder if they plan to expanded this room for everyone to use. You look at the water fall and realize it's cooling off the room greatly, you also notice that the waterfall looks more like a running river. Your a bit confused about it but figure it's to stay over here.

Lisa then says " I asked Max about the room at some point, it seems it's a new water source. It's a different source then the spring water and hot springs, this water might be what helps feed the other water source Max is unsure."

You nod and ask " So why is it you like this room so much?"

Lisa says " If you listen carefully you will notice all you can hear is the breathing of yourself and another person in this room and the water. I realized this when I showed it to Margret, it seemed very romantic even with the darkness. Considering it is one of the few places in all the shop with out recorders or video cameras as well as one of the few where a wolf or dog Animorph does not need to hear the sounds of the shop."

You listen to the sounds of what you honestly understand you hear and notice that Lisa is pretty much right about it. You can only hear near by sounds like breathing of others and the roar or pulse of the water as it flows as if its unending. You start to consider the things you might tell Lisa you like about this room and realize finally what they are.

You add " I can't smell anything in this room, the water humidity or content of the room is very high keeping smells down. It might also help that the water keeps the room cold so smells also have a harder time raising with the air since cold air sticks to the ground so to speak. I also enjoy the sound, it sounds almost like a howl as I listen to it. I can honestly say I can feel it. The other thing I enjoy is the fact that this room is quite a few degrees cooler then the rest of the shop."

Lisa nods and says " I had not noticed the fact that the water it's self sounded like a howling wolf, til you pointed it out to me. And it is quite a bit cooler in here. Thou the water content makes my fur stand on end and that bothers me a little."

You shake your head and say " Well, I got heavy fur so it does a good job of cooling me off in less I take finer or sorter fur in a change I make to myself you know. But this feels good standing here."

Lisa nods and says " I am happy you like it."

You then say " I need to talk to Max thou about this room, so if you could lead me to where you think he is please do so."
