RICEball - A new fruits basket rp

When I was little my mom told me a story about the zodiac. The tale went like this....


"A long long time ago, God told the animals, 'Tomorrow I'll invite you to my banquet. You must not be late.' After hearing the news, the rat, who likes practical jokes... told it's neighbor, the cat, that the banguet was the day after tomorrow. On that day, the rat rode on the ox, and jumped off into get to the banquet first. The ox followed, then the tiger and everyone else. The celebration lasted until the next morning. Except for the decieved cat...

What happened to the cat made me so sad that I cried. When my mother asked me why all I could say was "the poor cat..." Afterwards I made a promise to myself that no matter what happened. Since no one else seemed to love the cat, that I would.
