(The sun has long since set and a light fog is slowly drifting in.  Autumn
 is here.  A soothing, cool breeze is blowing and the smell of rain is in 
 the air.  A single lamp post casts its beacon of light on the street.  There
 is not much activity in the town tonight.  Families are settling down for 
 their evening dinner.  The gentle stirring of the leaves and branches in 
 the nearby trees can be heard.  A cat meows in an alley as a trash can is
 toppled over.  Only to the one who is looking for it, can the movements of 
 a figure be seen lurking in the shadows.  The figure is on her rounds making
 sure all is well for the night.  She has seen no signs of trouble yet.
 
 "It is good to see that all is well in ARC land and that there has been no
  injustice to a human heart while I've been away."  --She says.

 She decides to unlurk for a moment and steps into the beam of the street 
 light.  It is no surprise who it is........The Shadowette is back.  Her black
 cape and hair lift gently in the breeze.  A huge smile is on her face and 
 her eyes sparkle behind her mask.)
 

 Hi Rip!   *wave wave wave*
     --Glad to see you made it out of that candy mountain safe and sound.

 Hi Catguy!   *wave wave wave*
     --Glad to see your fur is not full of Mississippi Mud Cake anymore.

 Hi Rat!   *wave wave wave*    *pat on the shoulder*
     --How is my fellow dark dweller doing?  Have you been holding down the
       fort? 

 Hi Cheshire!  *wave wave wave*  *hug*
     --How are you doing my romantic feline?  Are we expecting a strong
       storm?  (She smiles slowly with a twinkle in her eyes)


 (Shadowette leans up against the street light)

 Boy, those two weeks sure went by fast.  Isn't that just like vacation....
 to be over before you are ready for it to be.  *ho hum*  Well, mother finally
 let go of my ear long enough (*smile*) for me to slip off to Florida for a
 while.  It was a very relaxing vacation.  I could have _easily_ stayed a
 little longer,.....but duty calls.   
 
 Congratulations to Julie and Steven on their wedding!

 (Shadowette stands up straight and looks to the left, then forward again)

 I guess I should probably get back to business and lurk back into the 
 shadows.  I need to find The Shadow.  Haven't seen my cus for two full weeks.
 Just thought I would unlurk for a moment to say hullo.

 "Hullo"

 See you guys around.

 (With that, the Shadowette steps back into the shadows and disappears
  quietly.  No footsteps can be heard, only the gentle stirring of the leaves
  and branches in nearby trees and the soft calling of the breeze itself.)
