im here

 

The sound of expensive wood cruising across the soft teal surface of the vast ocean filled the back room of the recently “borrowed” boat. It was calming to hear, the room was extravagantly filled with sunlight from a window, the room was small with an expensive carpet, one seat sofa and fainting couch that sat hero Kitty soft paws talking to her great friend and therapy dog Perrito, in the single seat.

 

“Kitty what’s wrong?”

 

“I don’t know, I’m finding it hard to just talk..”

 

“Well.. you have felt alone for a while Kitty it’s going to be a little hard”

 

“Its just frustrating sometimes Perro, not being able to trust people”

 

“Well… on the bright side you are growing every day! I dont think the past you would be talking to me?”

 

“.. I guess not”

 

“Then you're improving, ill help you  focus on the positives!”

 

“Ha yeah.. I don’t know how you do it”

 

“What about you and Puss? You finally trust him! Maybe not fully, but you do, I see you’ll take cat naps all the time without the need to guard your stuff! You guys will always figure it out, what you need to be is strong by yourself”

 

“Thanks Perrito”

Kitty got up stretching her arms and ruffling Perrito’s fur, receiving a hearty chuckle from the dog 

 

“Now, I’m starving. I think Puss has prepared the food let us go!”

 

Perrito hopped down and they left, Perrito got distracted by the waves and went up to the decks gunwale, leaning his front paws and head 

 

He’s entranced by the almost even sloshing of the foamy teal water that was calming to stare at. He thought to his new friends and how he tended to be too trusting, too needy, he barely knows these people but how does he know they wouldnt drop him in the ocean the moment a mistake was made 

 

Perrito jumped slightly when a ginger paw laid on top of his

 

“Ey you alright Perro?”

 

“Hm?”

Perrito turned to the apron wearing ginger hero 

 

“You okay? You want to, how do you say, talk?”

 

“Oh I’m fine Puss !”

 

“You're sure?”

 

“Yep!”

 

“Well the food is ready, can you have gazpacho?”

 

“Sounds great!”

 

They walked down to captains quarters that was renovated into their dining/sleeping/living room 

 

They didn’t see the need for dividing the little space on the boat they had, especially when there was only one fireplace that Puss had nearly set the room on fire with. 

 

The center of the room held the medium sized wooden table that they regularly used, since its creation from a thick red barked tree it obtained scratches,dents and discolourations, alongside its wooden triplet chairs.

 

They ate, talked and laughed and Puss took a picture with a black and white film camera he had bought from a far far away market recently

 

Kitty paused her eating and turned to the end of the table

“What is with the pictures Puss? I’ve been meaning to ask”

 

“Well mi amor, it is to remember our time at sea! We usually aren’t in such a location!”

 

“Just don’t have your thumb in every photo hah!”

 

“Ha.ha. Everyone quickly together”

Puss gestured with his hands 

 

Perrito and Kitty gathered around the table posing for the photo 

 

“Alright! One, two, three! Click*”

 

“Now, we can feast!”

 

There was plenty of food made, tamales, gazpacho, fluffy rice, chicken, and plenty more warm delicious food with greens as well, fit for the heroes and their newly discovered icebox

 

Night came and Kitty had been the first to sleep on the top bunk bed that was carved into the wall, followed by Puss but shook awake being startled by a bad dream, rubbing his crusted eyelinerless eyes he heard whimpers from the deck 

 

Puss worriedly rushed out from the middle bunk, dazed and confused to find Perrito resting his head on the bannister looking towards the dark purple sea. 

His face illuminated by one of the many lanterns that hung up, Puss  was wondering where the handheld one had gone. 

 

“Perrito?..”

 

Perrito turned to face Puss , his cheeks covered by tears that balled at the bottom of his eyes; shocked to see his friend. 

 

“Puss !”

Perrito rubbed his eyes with his paws 

 

“Are you alright, did you have another nightmare?”

Perrito questioned already changing the subject as to why he was up and not asleep and clearly upset 

 

“Um, yes? I am alright but why are you so upset?”

Puss  asked with a more concerned voice that still kept its roughness and emotion 

 

“Oh it’s nothing! Don’t worry, let’s go back to bed, don't want to wake Kitty haha!”

 

Perrito attempted to walk in and Puss  stopped him looking down at him worried 

“Puss .. trust me I’m fine!”

Perrito said still smiling 

 

“Please..”

Puss knelt down putting a paw on Perrito's shoulder

 

“I-I’m fine. just a bad dream..”

Perrito attempted to trot back to bed 

 

“Perro…If you aren’t okay, you can tell me..”

 

Perrito paused, his pupils contracting looking back at Puss  

 

“I'm fine Puss please, let's just go back to bed!”

 

Puss’s mouth hung open slightly as he watched Perrito's smile falter tremble as he walked past Puss

 

They got back to bed, Perrito nestling back into his bottom bunk  

 

“Goodnight Perrito”

 

“..night Puss !”

Perrito hesitated and excitedly whispered 

 

Kitty stared at the ceiling concerned from her bunk, awoken by the lack of Puss, but she heard everything.

--Chapter 2–

Cave Problems

 

Morning came, Kitty was up early manning the ship begrudgingly, she in no way is or was a morning person

 

She was good at steering and it was relaxing. With Puss’s job being mapping, something that Kitty  entrusted in him that made her feel so much better, though… there was a feeling that he would steer them to an alternative motive was still there 

 

Kitty’s POV 

 

I need to steal some gafas! The sun is so bright! 

“Ey Puss! Give me your hat hermano!”

 

“Juuust one sec!”

 

(That tip we picked up from that priest better be true,this breeze feels good on my fur, it’s nice spending time not by myself, But gold is definitely a plus)

 

“Kitty?”

 

“Hmm?”

She looked to see Puss holding an origami swan 

 

“Ohh how cute? This isn’t the map right?”

 

“Of course not, I’m going to buy you the best stuff when we get to markets! All of my money to you”

Puss put his hand on her shoulder 

 

“I don’t want you to do that.”

 

“What? Why not?”

 

“Puss what are you doing? why are you being weird?”

 

“Whaaaaat??” Weird I-Im not being weird”

Puss said awkwardly resting his elbow on the wheel  

 

(I obviously didn’t buy it I’m glad he knew that)

 

I turned back to steer 

“Okay, it’s,  just about Santa Coloma”

 

My eyes widened I tied a rope around the wheel and turned to face him setting my eyes on his majestic green ones I took a hold of his hands 

 

“Puss … I wasn’t there either”

 

“But because of me”

 

“Puss …”

 I put my hand on his cheek as he held it there 

 

“I don’t want you to feel bad, none of it’s your fault, and to be honest, I can’t marry right now”

 

“What? Why?”

 

“Because…J-just because okay!”

 

“If that is what you want Kitty, It’s just I don’t want to lose you”

 

“Pff being married or not doesn’t change that, you’ll never lose me, even after all that time I never stopped thinking of you, how you would respond to things, or how you’d dance with me or how you’d probably get me out of something with a stupid plan”

 

“Ha heh I’ve missed you too Kitty ”

 

“Mi Amor I never forgot you I think we could value moments like this”

 

Puss moved my hand around purring 

 

All of a sudden I heard Perrito's worried voice

 

“Uhhh guys!”

 

Then we fell over so quick it was like we were never standing and a loud crunching and crashing sound stopped the ship slowly in its tracks 

We got up looking around 

 

“We’re here!”

 Perrito screamed 

 

I hopped down to hot sand, crunching underneath me, and caught Puss as we all laughed happy to start our adventure I helped Perrito down and we walked by all the people in their swimsuits, under their care free umbrellas

 

Puss POV 

 

We walked through the majestic foliage 

“Everyone, be careful not to hurt the plantas!”

  Perrito shouted back to us 

 

I looked back to see Kitty holding her sword 

“Kitty !”

 I whispered back to her 

 

“Why can we not cut the plant's Perrito?”

Kitty  groaned a little as she put her sword away

 

“Because we don’t want to mess up their cute ecosystem!.. also they could create poison”

 

We continued on, no fear on this mission as we’re looking forward to our riches 

 

We had been eating at a restaurant sitting on some barrels. The three of us overheard a priest talk of his recent exorcism here, Perrito had asked him of it he told us of a temple lost to time, in a cave that no one dared to set foot in. Their superstition will fail them as team

 

“-Friendship!”

 

“Huh”

I snapped out of it 

 

Kitty and Perrito had put their paws in the middle 

“We still need to workshop that”

 

“I’m actually getting used to it”

 

“Really Kitty!”

 

I put my paw in the middle and we all parted jumping down a crack in the floor, I caught Perrito and we looked around the vine filled area down a tunnel to the first room, it was mossy cracked stone bricks and bones luckily it didn’t smell bad 

 

We easily got past traps though setting some off and finally made it to a big room filled with jewels, shiny accessories, clothing and money the entire floor was covered in gold coins 

 

We started packing all that we could carry, we even found a gold clip on earring, one with a star and chain i gave to Perrito and I turned to see Kitty placing a crown upon his head 

 

“There! A king among the people”

 

“Wow thanks Kitty !”

Perrito went to go pack more 

 

I saw flash of light on Kitty’s paws, noting the linked golden rings going from the tip of her fingers to her knuckles, with a gold claw on the tip of her finger from the ring 

 

I held her paw and took them off slowly, questioning if i should’ve said something, to not alarm her 

 

“What are you-“

 

“Please, you’re perfect without them”

 

“I-i Hm fine but I’m keeping them to wear to something fancy”

 

“I found this for you instead”

I held up this amazing pearl necklace with layers that went down the chest with an emerald green bow in the middle, im surprised by how well preserved all this treasure is but I’m sure Kitty will have us wash some of it

She dropped the rings still affixed on the necklace 

 

“I checked it’s clean”

 

“It’s beautiful..help me with it?”

Kitty turned around and I fixed it on for her

 

She turned to show me and bit a pearl 

“Oh real to!”

 

She hugged me tightly not to be unexpected I am the legendary PUSS IN BO-

“Thank you Puss”

 

Puss, I’m Puss right now, that’s all I need

 

“No problema Mi Amor ..”

I held her too resting my head on her shoulder 

 

“Ey Perrito! How do I loookk~”

 

“Ooooo what a great find!”

 

I took a picture of us and we got out to turn around and see the crack seal up 

 

“Huh”

I shrugged 

 

“Guess it does that”

 

We walked around to see it now evening and i walked in front only to turn around from their silence to see them gone  

I turned around searching 

It reminded me of the time I ran away from his friends seeing Death everywhere he went

 

“Kitty! Perro!”

He spun in circles, his breathing becoming more erratic and heavy he got turned around in the jungle and felt weak, he felt true fear. 

 

“Okay gasp* o-okay gasp*”

Puss ran to a tree and put a paw on it bending over trying to catch his breath 

 

What did Perrito say! Deep breaths count back to 1 from 10

 

“Ten-n-nine This-this isn’t gasp* working I-I’m gonna die!”

 

I layed against a root once again to have Perrito lay his head down on my chest and tell me I’m alright. I felt an immense weight on my chest still, as though I could lose my lunch, but my breath steadied as I became more aware of my surroundings. Only when I opened my eyes he wasn’t there, never was, I calmed down and drank water from a stream, I looked around to find them by using their tracks 

 

I met up and told them, at least they were proud of me but I’ll admit I was shaken up I’d much prefer Perrito actually be there 

 

We made it to the town, it was different to home, built very different, different atmosphere more market places, more people filled the streets less colour besides the vibrant orange and the green of the majestic plantas 

 

We reached the market looking to spend and stock up the boat, thankfully we paid for people to carry our stuff back to the boat 

 

Perrito POV 

 

We all went to this amazing market that had everything! Candles, Fruit, Weapons, everything! 

 

I stuck with Puss , I didn’t want him to get too worried, that and I didn’t want to get stepped on heh 

 

“Here Perrito”

Puss bent down and gave me this pretty leather bag, I strapped it on quickly and it was great. I can't wait to put stickers on it!

 

“Thanks Puss! How do I look?”

 

“Great Perrito, let's get movin”

 

We walked to a tiny yellow brick ice cream parlour and Puss was acting different 

 

“Hey, can I go order! I wanna ask them about their chocolate policies”

I think Puss picked up on my words and smiled and let me go

 

I asked and payed getting a birthday cake for me and a vanilla for Puss, we were gonna wait for Kitty to get one for her I walked back with both and gave it to Puss  

 

“This is great! I've never had ice cream before!”

 

Puss was pretty silent just enjoying ice cream 

 

“Puss do you wanna talk?”

 

“Sighh* im having a bad day Perrito, i dont know why”

 

i just patted the floor next to me and he sat next to me 

“I'm sorry but that's okay! Everyone has bad days, but that doesn't mean that you’ve wiped away your healing progress, it's just one tiny thing, i have bad days all the time, so does Kitty ”

 

"How do you make the best of it!”

 

“Just think of the best parts, what you’d describe to someone”

 

“well I guess me and Kitty have improved, and so have i, and getting the treasure heh that and icecream, and…you… thank you Perrito”

 

“No problem Puss”

I finished my icecream wiping some off my face 

 

“You.. would you like to talk?”

Puss questioned

 

“Heh just sometimes I guess it feels like I'm drowning heh, maybe it's the ship! it's just I don't want what happened to happen again, y'know? It was pretty funny tho, just a joke isn’t as funny 36th time around”

 

“Perrito.. you can always talk to me, but that's never gonna happen again i won't let you get hurt again”

 

“Heh thanks Puss ”

I smiled back at him and Kitty  returned

 

Puss got her a vanilla too and she gave me this really cool knife to use

 

We got back to the ship to unwind a little getting the fire going and Puss was stitching some damaged things and Kitty was tinkering with a clock, she said she enjoyed a problem 

 

I slept near the fireplace to warm what was left off me

—Chapter 3–

Memento Mori

 

Puss had awoken again, it was raining out and the sea was more turbulent, they had the fireplace going but Kitty and Puss slept side by side as they had been enjoying each other's comfort and company. 

 

They were half asleep hearing the sounds of waves crashing on the big wooden boat as it had dropped anchor almost finally home as a raging storm prevented them

 

Puss awoke hearing Perrito, only to peer down realising he was gone again, he had awoken Kitty  as his worry of getting his eyes plucked out by waking her up was outweighed by the worry of their friend. 

 

They walked out to see Perrito crying once again too close to the edge. Lighting cracked 

 

“Perrito! Get away from there!”

 

Perrito turned and it was like slow motion as the ship rocked and the dog toppled into the Great freezing sea

 

They rushed to go help only for Puss to see he’d been engulfed in shadow, turning around to see a cloaked figure, dressed in widows black and standing at a menacing height, 

 

Death's ears twitched as he walked closer with nothing but his paws and his cracked sharp black claws, his palms were extended to the sky as if praying and his hood wasn’t on his head. 

 

Puss breathed as tears ran down his face, luckily he had his sword as Kitty yanked some sharp daggers from a wall she’d thrown them at

 

“You get Perrito, i-I'll stop him!”

 

Puss lunged forward, but missed as death evaded him, halting him.

 

Puss tried with all he had to strike him, he couldn’t tell tears from rain at this point as he put all effort into stopping him by plunging his sword with one calculated blow and shoved it straight into Death's hand between his knuckles

 

Puss looked at him and Death's head snapped to the cut, of course he wouldn’t bleed, there’s no stopping him. Death turned his hand and threw Puss to the side, Puss  rolled and looked to him at the edge, Puss expected him to do something, gone were the games, the fear tactics, the facade the whistle played. 

He just watched he didn’t snap kitties neck, he didn’t throw her in, he just watched as Kitty helplessly tried to pull Perrito in

 

“Puss !”

 

Puss was already breathing hard but he had to save his friend, he and Kitty jumped over and used their blades to slide down the side of the ship and eventually dive in with rope tied around Kitty. They saw Perrito clung to his knife which he dug in the ship however was slipping away, kitty  grabbed him and puss pulled kitty out by the waist 

 

“I'VE GOT HIM!”

 

Kitty got to her knife left in the boat and used both daggers to help Puss and her climb up 

 

They got to the deck panting 

 

“Perro!”

 

“Flip him over!”

They went to check for heart rate only to be stopped as the big gray wolf picked him up 

 

They clung to his poncho pleading 

 

“Please! You can’t do this!”

 

“He doesn’t deserve this please!

Both of them sobbing and begging to Death to spare their canine friend, stopping their pleads as death's voice crawled out like fog on a midnight street

 

“I know of what he deserves, I was there when I had to meet him the first time, even as a pup he had a fighting spirit, I played no part whether he survived or not, though his family are viewed with new eyes by me”

 

“So why kill him now!”

Only to respond by the halting cold voices of the damned

 

“I T  I S  N O T  H I S  T I M E, I am glad to see that he has found those who care”

 

Death put Perrito down on the deck

 

As Kitty started chest compressions as Puss could only watch death, wondering what the game was, if there even was one to begin with only to turn to his friends, sobbing even more through blurry eyes. 

 

He started coughing water out of his lungs 

Kitty and Puss on their knees moved to check on him

 

Puss looked up on the verge of a panic attack, not by the wolf, but of the situation 

“Ś̵̨̜̌͘ë̵̻́ͅĕ̴̥̥̆ ̶͕̥͊̀ỷ̶̡̖̝̋o̴͉͖̽̏u̷̻̍̽ ̵̪̹͑ǫ̵͒̉ͅn̴̥̎͊ ̵͚͈̒m̵̹̈́y̷̮̆̀͛ ̷̞̆̕d̷̡̘̭̿͘a̴̹̺̓͋y̷̻̬̓́̅”

 

They rushed Perrito to their homemade infirmary that Perrito himself mostly set up with their help, they moved to bandages and blankets along with towels. 

Drying and warming and patching was nerve racking 

They found medicine bottles and read them, they checked his heart and it was steady. It only took a minute for Perrito to wake up.

 

“Cough* guys!”

 

“Perrito!”

They warmly embraced him 

 

“How are you feeling?”

 

“Pretty good just tired”

 

“Perrito, please, talk to us”

 

“I.. I don’t know guys, I’m just.. for the longest time I was unwanted, I knew that heh, and I finally am wanted and I’m still scared I’m still sad I just, I-I’m so scared that you guys will snf* leave me too and I-I don’t want that to happen! I'm just not good and no one wants me! I-I should have died!”

Perrito sobbed and Kitty and Puss joined in

 

Sure, they were all in different pain, but it was all pain, that’s something they knew 

They made sure he knew they were here and they weren’t leaving 

 

“Perrito, don't believe that, you're here for a reason and that’s for you, you have to live for you not others.”

 

“We aren’t leaving anytime soon, cuz we’re a strong team huh?”

 

“Team friendship, and you know better than us that we were all, ehhh different?”

 

“You don’t always have to be strong for your friends”

 

“Thanks guys”

 

Perrito returned their hug and they finally cheered up 

“Now c'mon let’s go get cleaned up”

 

They joined in the common room to lay together on a bunk, specifically just the middle one trying their best to get their sleep

Chapter Text

The next evening they awoke was beautiful, they had almost thought it was a gift from Death to see the painting of colour that floated across the sea ranging from the beautiful rosy pinks to the majestic blues

Kitty had fallen asleep late as usual and was up sitting next to Perrito as they looked to each other
She found him sitting just staring at the sky, he looked tired he wasn’t randomly smiling just staring, the life in his lake like aqua eyes wasn’t lost

“I brought you some chilaquiles,Perrito, I’m…sorry for what happened”

“ thanks Kitty! it’s not your fault I know that, not to mention you saved me”

“Yawn* yeah I guess I did, I want you to talk to me more, about you”

“Like what?”

Kitty looked back out to the vast colourful sea
“What’s your favourite colour, Perrito ?”

“I think today it’s yellow, what about you?”

“I like Green anddd teal! okay.. what about your sweater, why don’t you get a new one?”

“It’s a nice reminder of how much I’ve been through…Ynow?”
Perrito barked out happily, while kitty felt hyper aware of her

“Hm yeah I know what you mean, Did Puss tell you where he got his boots from?”

“Nope but I’d love to know! Do you know!?”

“When he was a tiinny little orphan his mama gifted him his boots, of course he grew into them, so they never left”

“Aww! Little puss! No wonder he’s such a mamas boy! I'm sure he misses his mom”

“He can honour her soon”

“Kitty, do you miss your claws?”

“I couldn’t tell you, I like my, ynow soft paws, but once in a while I miss my claws”

“How does declawing for cats work?”

“They uh, they cut off the tips of your paws and sew them together, in my case i couldn’t choose to keep them”

“It’s good your not with your old people anymore, or haven't gone back like I did again and again”

“Its okay to miss them”

“I think I’ve finally let go of them, no more seeking; I’m really sorry you had to go through that Kitty ”

“Thank you Perrito”

“I think your great without them”

“Thanks, i believe you are too”

Kitty POV

We’re finally back home in Del Mar today, so we have to figure out our outfits for Dia des los muertos

Me and Perrito went together and Puss went by himself
Me and Perrito bought our flowers, body paint and makeup and he actually helped me with my eyes

I got dressed up, I wasn’t going to wear a big dress but I got a vest and bag to go along with my new gloves and boots, it was a little colder than when we left but it wasn’t bad, I dressed in varieties of blue and purples, wearing my skulls and jewellery, I definitely wanted my new pearls to be on display

Me and Perrito walked out he wore a lot of pink and purple with flowers and a sombrero on his back, to go with his puffy sleeves

We walked into the street, avoiding the parade, we grabbed some drinks as we waited for Puss , everything felt so fresh and fun, it was the right amount of loud

The street was lit up by candles and lamp posts, they gave off a warm glow, everywhere was an array of roses. I sipped from my bottle and looked to the street once again and the sound went muffled. Puss stood there looking back at me, he was wearing a different hat covered in flowers with a knife sticking out, black teardrop beads hung from it, he was wearing a maroon shirt that was poorly laced at the front with ruffles from his collar and, he had similar skeleton marking on his boots with red lace at the tops, he looked, amazing

I got up walking to him like approaching a deer and held his face with both of my paws

“Kitty ?”
He held my paw looking at me softly and confused

“You showed up looking so handsome”

“Of course I did!”

Perrito ran up to us reaching into his bag

“I got us these!”

He pulled out some macrame bracelets
Two orange ones
Two black ones
Two brown ones

“They’re like all of us!”

I took a orange and brown one and put it on an my wrist

“They’re great thank you Perrito”

We walked to a fountain eating and eventually dancing picked up, I took Puss’s hand leading our dance as we had fun moving and partying

We had eventually moved to the graveyard sitting by our shared ofrenda. We had me and Puss’s past weapons there to honour our past lives and a small imprint of Perritos paw to appreciate how he’s survived life, and the little people we knew who passed, like Puss’s mother.

We sang a little, prayed, laughed and talked we were walking out of the graveyard to hear a deafening whistle to all of us, looking towards the entrance we met face to face with Death himself

“No! What are you doing here lobo! Puss! Perro! Behind me!”

“It is my day is it not?”

“What do you want?”

“To pay my respects, have nice lives you three”
He pulled a pan de muertos out of his cloak offering it to us

We took it reluctantly as he pulled another one out while walking away handing it to a child, he had dressed up as well with red jewels and gloves, he brought us to the fountain again gesturing us to sit with him

We sat looking at him as i kept one paw on my daggers
“You know my job is complicated, I take joy in taking the lives from those that don’t deserve them, you cats don’t really deserve all of them, so I tested you specifically Puss”

Puss looked down I could tell he was anxious so I gave him my paw and Perrito put his on puss’s arm

“I see now how much you guys value life”

“T-thank you”

“I hope you all are having fun, celebrating me and everything, HAAHAA heh”
The wolf's laugh was unsettling and cracked like lightning, but no one around us reacted to it

“We are here to honour you Mr Wolf!”
Perrito barked out seeming more angrily passive aggressive, but still kept that ray of sunshine

“I hope you aren’t too afraid of me, especially you soft paws”

“I-I want to know about my old culo owners!”

“K-kitty?”

“Them. Why.”

“Did you kill them?”

“You don’t deserve to know”

“WHY NOT”

“Kitty ”

“NO! FOR THE PAIN THEY PUT ME THROUGH, WHERE ARE THEY!”

I was crying and it stung at this point, i tried helplessly wiping at them, my face was burning up as a wave of shame past over me, i dont know why it hurt so bad

“You shouldn’t care about them, pay no mind to those that don’t deserve it”

“But because I like you guys, they have some pretty bad luck, I’m not saying they didn’t or did die, but your doing much better than them”

I wasn’t feeling better, I don't know why, but…my life has been…great

We all looked back at Death and he was gone with his whistle fading into the beautifully coloured night

“Y-you guys okay?”
Perrito asked us

No pov

After a long time of dancing Kitty finally was tired out to return to her favourite thing

“Puss! Kitty fell asleep!”

Puss looked over at Kitty sleeping at a table
“I guess we should go, do you wanna come Perro?”

“Yup! I’m sooo tired”

Puss picked Kitty up bridal style and walked them to the ship

“Puss?”

“Yes Perrito?”

“I had fun with my new best friends! What about you?”

“I know I definitely did”

“I’m glad you were able to see Death without having another panic attack,”

“Thanks perro I guess I’m growing, but my heart was definitely beating out of my chest”

“Heh me too, i cant wait to just go lie down”

They got home and Puss dropped Kitty on her bunk taking off all her flowers and accessories that could disturb a comfortable sleep, then tucking her in and kissing her paws

Puss went to wash his face, Perrito was also washing his face in a tub and went to sleep, Perrito reading and Puss drinking his heaviest leche.
