II.17: Father Fluffybottom the Cat

pastel on Jan. 7, 2008

I wanted to try a cool technique in the top panel, but I failed. Blah, so annoying.

But I guess for some people, this chapter hasn't been too clear. So… SUMMARY!
Nate invites Lila to his house. Lila goes to Nate's house and meets Cole there. I was hoping it was assumed that Cole was invited too. They're like a trio. Cole says Nate's missing and uses the directions in an alien note he found to lead everyone to… Sara and Tim's house. These two siblings are their classmates. In this page, it appears Sara was the one that wanted Lila and Cole to meet her, meaning she is probably the one behind the note and possibly Nate's disappearance. The latter two points being speculation.

Does that help? :( If you're confused about who Tim and Sara are… I mentioned them in the cast page and they've shown up a few times throughout the story.
