"Amy, it's for you!" Mrs Lancem called. Amy turned off the TV, pushed Stripes off her lap and headed down stairs. As she picked up the land line she heard a gruff voice say, "Is this Amy Lancem?" "Yes," said Amy nervously. "The King of Sugi has requested that you and Prince Corpse the 3rd come stay with him for the summer. It is urgent" the voice said.

"OK, first of all, who is Prince Popcorn the 3rd or whatever his name is?" Amy asked.

"Prince Corpse the third," the voice said.

"Yeah, whatever. So who is he?"

"He has not told you?' he asked.

"No," Amy replied.

"Prince Corpse has taken the shape of a cat, so I'm told. I believe that you call him Stripes," the man said.

"Stripers? No way is he human. He's my stripes and he's not some stuck up, loud mouthed, Prince Popcorn!" and with that she hung up the phone.
