At that moment, there was a hushed stillness that fell upon the girls. Mint was their exotic, gentle, beauty. She wouldn't hurt a fly, much less another cat. What in the world did she mean? Who was this lover that she abandoned and why did she leave him? What did he do to drive the lovely queen away?

Just then, the girls of Brandy's Place finished their performance and trotted to the backstage where the Sweet Shoppe girls awaited their turn. The woman Tange had been watching earlier, jogged toward the orange cat and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

"Hey, pretty girl." she sang, then skipped off with her team.

Tange giggled at the gesture of affection and shouted, "You were great Ginger!" as she watched her dash off.
