The next day, Xani got into
his car and drove to the store where he got the fish.

Kit was reapplying
Mr. Tinkles' makeup spots, when she heard Anthony's car outside. "Damn it!"
Kit exclaimed, before she found a pen. Carefully drawing a symbol on her
hand, she took Mr. Tinkles' paw into her hand and waited for a few seconds,
before she repeated the operation on all of the paws. ~I hope that works.~
Kit thought, before she finished applying the makeup, just before Anthony
walked in. "I'm sorry, Kit. But I'm afraid I couldn't find a home for him."
"That's okay. I have a home for him, anyway. At the school." "Okay."

Xanatos marched up the the customer service counter, waiting in line behind
a woman with a child that was screaming for ice cream.

When he was three
places from being helped, he saw that one of the clerks was-"Kit! Oh shit!"
He popped an altoid in his mouth so he wouldn't hear any of her roadkill
breath cracks. He had to deal with Kit as the clerk to ask. "Hello, sir."
Kit said in her business attitude "Wha can I do for you?" "Yes. I would
like to get a refund." "I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I can't do that." What?
Why not?"
"Because it's against store policy to compensate for fish
being dead by
either exposure, loss, theft, or act of cat."
"That wasn't a cat! That
was your stupid brother!"
"There's a difference?" "Yes. One is small and
has
soft fur and the other looks like a person and is my evil roomate."
I tell
him that he has to buy the fish like everyone else
"You
people
had better give me the damn fish or I'll sue your asses." "Do you have your
reciept so I can do an exchange?"

"No, but you people owe me." "I'm sorry,
sir, but we can't compensate unless you have written proof."

He glared
at her, before he left the store in a huff.
When Kit's shift was over,
she took Mr. Tinkles back with her. Kit cleaned him up just before she let
him loose in the Spider House. "I got Mr. Tinkles from the vet office for
you." Kit told him. Xanatos stroked the cat, when he said "Why is my cat
wet?"
"I decided to give him a sponge bath before we got out." "Oh. Okay.
Come here, Mr. Tinkles. Kit," Xani said as he pointed to her. "I'll need
to borrow your hair dryer." "Can't you use a towel?" "No. Not for me! For
Mr. Tinkles." Kit picked up D.T. and started to pet him. After she brought
him to a different corner and fed him, she looked up at a very impatient
Xanatos and said "Oh. You need the hair dryer." "Yes." "For your cat, I'll
be glad to hook you up." Kit pat his shoulder and walked upstairs. When
she came back, she was holding the blue get quiet hair dryer. "Oh, and if
you mess up my hair dryer, I'm messing you up." He rolled his eyes and went
upstairs.
Kit picked up D.T. and took him for a car ride. "Okay, kitty."
Kit said to the calico kitten. "We're going to get you a tag and some stuff."
