24th works. Terra's in heat now and doesn't know it
Stretching out of her mattress Terra smiled, her tail thudding lazily on the window. Life was good. Everything was falling into place, except for that dratted feeling that she needed something, and Terra still hadn't figured out what it was. It was driving her a little crazy, but being around everyone, and the attention and smiles made Terra feel beautiful. It seemed that everything she did was perfect. Stepping out Terra shifted into optime, and looked in her closet. It had rapidly filled with various items Terra had nicked, including a purple skirt and a yellow cloth she'd used as a silk scarf. Deciding she didn't need such things today, Terra pulled on a bright silver necklace with a giant green emerald at the bottom. A set of leather bracelets was slipped on as well.
Hearing a howl at the border Terra cocked her head curiously. It sounded familiar, the cry a little shaky. Realizing that it was Belle Terra tore open her window and leaped out. Hitting the ground she flew across the snow until she reached her friend. Belle stood there, still a little shaky and frightened, but beautiful in a black strapless dress. Terra grinned happily as she approached her strange friend. Hello! Ready to go somewhere? The sky people haven't called for you, have they? Terra knew that the sky people were important to Belle, always checking to make sure they wouldn't interfere. Her tail wagged as she took in the scent. There was less fear there, though as always it followed the hybrid like a perfume.
