A pet store on the mainland- Monday night

[throughaphase]

Sometimes when you had terrible weeks, you just had to go and look at kittens and other small furry creatures. So after group therapy, Kitty and Allie headed for a pet store- definitely not a pet store and not a shelter so it'd be easier to leave without taking all the pets- with that adorable goal in mind.

As soon as they got close enough to see the kittens in the window, Kitty said, "I'm really glad I left my credit card at home."


[For she who be named!]

"Yep. And I figure it's good situationally. Like, you know, go go through a trauma and you can go there to talk it out and get some input," she said.

"Does this guy Sam realize what he's getting himself into?" Individual trauma was one thing, island wide might be a little overwhelming.

"I warned him about some of the stuff when I met him. Showed off my powers so he'd believe me and all," Kitty replied. "I think he got the point when people started talking about their histories."

Unable to resist, Allie scooped up the kitten and rubbed her cheek against his head. "Again, knowing the people on the island, I can only imagine some of the histories," she said. "But hopefully it helps them."

"I'd cross my fingers, but I have a kitten," Kitty explained, holding up the cat, which immediately started mewing. "Oh, poor baby, I moved you. What a tragedy."

"A terrible tragedy," Allie snickered. "Emergency cuddling is required."

"So do you have any exciting plans for the summer?"

"I'm still going to be teaching, but otherwise... Probably camp out at Clint's a lot, and hope this summer's better than last year," she said. "How about you?"

Allie shrugged. "Other then harassing the Portalocity office on a regular basis, I don't plan on doing much. Except taking Nick up on his offer of unlimited motorcycle rides up to Baltimore and wherever else we decide to go."

"Okay, that sounds like fun," Kitty told her.

"I'm kind of getting addicted," she admitted. "It's like flying."

"If you're gonna get addicted to anything, that's a good one. And maybe you can get him to teach you," she said.

"I know how already. Kind of." Because she was smart enough to realize there was a huge difference between driving on a deserted highway in a post apocalyptic world and Interstate 95. "Back before I first came to Fandom, Zeke and I were trying to catch up with the raiders that had taken his family. I took a dead raider's bike and taught myself to ride. It was the only way we could get to them in time."

"Good incentive to learn," Kitty said, actually impressed she'd been able to teach herself. "Here I just had one of my teammates teach me as a 'just in case' type of thing."

Learning was easier when you didn't have to worry about accidentally killing yourself.

"For those times when you need to make a quick getaway? Does that happen a lot?"

[throughaphase]

"You'd be surprised how often it happens," Kitty said, making a face at her kitten.

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Maybe once, but now I know I better." She had too many friends with interesting/complicated lives.

"I think I might have to learn how to drive here. I can't let Nick have all the fun."

[Zzzz...]

"There's enough free time here. You might as well," Kitty said, putting her kitten back down when it seemed like he was getting squirmy. "You never know when it might come in handy."
