ALL NOVEL Loop 255 - Completely Average Bus Passengers
“Are you sure this will work? I don’t think you look exactly like a human,” Trashcat said to Bart as they stood in line for their bus ticket.
“Hey, I managed to get the money we needed from that guy who looked just like this. It should be fine!” Bart sounded mildly offended. He was wearing what looked like an overly expensive suit with a matching top hat, which Trashcat had tried to explain to him wasn’t the normal way most people dressed. She was reasonably sure they had robbed someone in a costume, but Bart refused to believe her.
This meant that Trashcat was entirely shocked when, shortly after they were comfortably seated, the bus sped away on the first leg of their journey. She just had to keep her mouth shut as the people asked to pet her. That was what the dogs had relayed through Bart. They needed to blend in as much as possible. She wondered how Uncle Andrew was managing to handle all of that himself, she loved him, but he didn’t exactly have the patience for this. She hoped Bug was okay.
As the worrying thoughts ran through her head one after the other, the stress of the day took its toll. Exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she fell into a much-needed sleep, purring on Bart’s lap.
