"Hey... Twit... Katz!" Katz woke up suddenly after hearing someone yell his name. He looked to his left and saw Computer who had been standing next to his hay bed. He groaned and rubbed his head before asking, "Is there any reason you've decided to wake me up so abruptly," he started before turning towards the open window to his right seeing the moon was still partially visible, "At what still looks like night?" Computer spat at the feline in response. "First, it's Winter, you twit. Longest nights, remember? Besides, it's about 6 a.m right now," Computer told the cat. "Second, we need to get food, like you said yesterday," he added.
Katz growled, hating the fact that he was being told off like this. Katz was known, by Courage, at least, for being a scammer, and got away with it on other people. No matter what Katz was scheming up, most people would turn a blind eye to his tricks. He could probably get away with pretending to be a god if he really wanted to, but when it came to Courage, and now Computer, they would catch on to everything he did almost instantly. Even the littlest phrases of speech he would say would tip them off. "Oh, don't give me that, it's too early for it," the husky said, belittling Katz as if he were a child. "Listen, dog," Katz growled, sounding extremely annoyed while getting up, "I don't appreciate the sarcasm spewing and belittlement you've been giving me." Computer responded with lack of care for the threat. "No one's forcing you to be here, you know."
"By the way, 'Computer' is the name I go by, twit," the husky informed. He had begun to climb down the ladder that lead to the second floor to go back to the house. "Hope you brought money!" he shouted in somewhat of a sing-song like tone. Katz continued to growl as he got up from his bed of hay. He then breath in and out to relax himself. "Courage is what's important and killing his friend won't do anything to help," the feline said reasoning with himself. "But if I do snap, I'll be enjoying death way more than I should," he added. Katz sighed to himself before saying, "I better get down there...," as he looked through the window at the farm.
Computer had returned to the house and was talking to Courage, who was tired from having to wale up so early. The pink dog was sitting in Eustace's sofa chair and turned to the door to find Computer walking through. "Where's Katz?" he asked softly, noticing the red cat wasn't with him. "He'll be here," the husky answered as he leaned onto a wall. "Did you give him a hard time?" Courage asked. He grew a worried face when didn't respond for a few seconds. "I still don't know why you trust him," Computer started. "You know that he's only done you and your family wrong, yet after it all, you let him live in the same household as you. Why? he questioned. "H-he was... misguided... that's all," Courage argued, not very assured of his own response.
"Misguided?! You really believe that twit's lies? Courage, every time you two cross paths, he tries to kill you and the others," the husky commented. "And for what? The sadistic fun or for some other selfish reason. So why trust someone like that?" Computer fiercely asked. Thankfully, for Courage, Katz had entered the room, before he could answer. "Alright, since you wanted to get up so early, let's get a move on. Computer was frowning at Katz while Courage was giving a saddened look. However, Katz didn't pay it any mind since they had been like this ever since he arrived yesterday. He went outside to head out to Eustace's truck. Computer lightly sighed and said, "Just take what I said into consideration..." He walked out leaving Courage alone watching him leave. His thoughts ran through his head for only a short time because he knew that Katz and Computer wouldn't want to wait on him forever.
He went outside and got into the front passenger seat of the truck while Computer sat in the cargo area of it, since the truck didn't have any backseats. At the wheel was Katz who was still trying to figure out how to drive the old bucket of bolts. I think it's best we just let Courage drive," Computer said sticking his head through the back window of the truck. Both of the front riders turned toward the husky's head. "He's done this enough times to get us going," he added. Courage now realizing Katz couldn't drive the car, he asked, "Wait, so you can drive a boat, but not a car..." Computer was also confused by this too. "Isn't that illegal?" he asked. "Do you not know of the stuff I've done before...?" the feline asked in response to their confusion. "...He... has a point there," Courage said, feeling somewhat dumb for not noticing that.
Courage and Katz switched spots and the pink dog was able to start driving immediately. The whole ride was pretty silent, not counting the wind and the many sounds of the truck as it moved down the lonesome roads. Courage was focused on driving so he didn't mind it. Computer was left with his own thoughts, so he more than likely didn't notice. But Katz couldn't feel anymore awkward then right now. He kept a straight face, but he only looked out the side window the whole ride. He decided he might as well say something. "Before we arrive, I need to tell you something.
Computer heard this and started paying attention. "What is it?" Courage asked. "We need to find a chef to live with us..." the feline confessed. "You mean to say that someone like yourself is a lousy chef?" Computer snickered. The husky couldn't help but find that hilarious. The only reason he didn't burst out laughing was because he knew Courage would have had a problem with it. "No... I can't... dog..." Katz replied, gritting his teeth at the display Computer was holding back. "Well, huh... that's going to be hard..." Courage admitted, "But, we should be able to hold out until then." Courage was the only optimistic one out of the three, as was his nature, while the others were more realistic about the situation.
"We won't find someone who will cook for us, in a single day," Katz said. "As much as I don't want to admitted it, the feline isn't wrong. No one's going to work for free, as I assume is all they will really get out of this, whoever decides to work for us, if that happens," Computer added. "I just hope we get someone that's willing to do this," the driving dog said to the passengers. It didn't take long before they entered the city of Nowhere and arrived at the grocery store.
