Quick was lying on a couch in her neighbor Aella's apartment.

"I'm booooaaaard," Quick moaned in annoyance. She quickly sat up and jumped onto the back of the coach and perched there, looking like a cat ready to pounce. And pounce she did. She launched at Aella with the intention of knocking her over, but she jumped wrong so she landed painfully on the hardwood floor.

"Oooooowww," she whined, holding her elbow in feigned agony. "Aella! Aella! Help! I think I'm dying! Call an ambulance! Wait, there's not enough time. Come close. I can feel myself fading. I have to tell you something...I've always hated you. I'm just friends with you *gasp* because *gasp* your cat is cute." Quick then made a bleh noise and stopped moving, feigning death.

 Aella just laughed at her friend's overdramatic "end" and took a sip of her hot chocolate out of her "I'm a Hippy" mug. 

"It think you need to work on your acting...and your pounce." 

"Hey! I am a top class gymnast! *mumbles* However, I just sometimes don't do it properly."

"I am too silly, so shut up and drink your hot chocolate before it gets cold," Aella chuckled. 

"Fine," Quick said while reluctantly dragging herself off the floor. She picked up her mug and took a giant swig only to spit it out in the sink. "Are you trying to kill me?! Why is it hotter than if I was standing in the middle of an exploding volcano!" Aella nonchalantly took a sip of her cocoa before saying smugly,

"Because it's name says "hot." Would you prefer it if I dumped it in liquid nitrogen? That would solve your problem right quick!"

Quick was about to retort when the apartment building violently shook.

"Earthquake, get under the doorframe! Now!" Quick yelled while dragging Aella away from the counter. However, after the initial shock the building didn't shake anymore.

"I don't think that was an earthquake Quick." Aellas said while peering out the window before her face blanched.

"Aella, what's wrong? What do you see?"

"I think - I think a bomb went off across the street."

"What?!"

"You know that bar we suspected to be a front for a drug operation?"

"Yes..."

"The one we were going to raid later this week?"

"Just spit it out already!"

"There's a gaping, smoking hole in the side of it."
