Sammy
Hey girl… whoa…. What’s that!?

Belle
My human. And a thing that makes noise. It’s making noises I don’t appreciate. It’s small but it sounds really overwhelming…

Sammy
I can hear! I literally jumped to a different place! Your human looks like it’s ignoring you.

Belle
It is, but that’s okay for now. It picked me up a while back and that’s not okay. Anyhoo, I called about something else.

Sammy
Go on….

Belle
This appeared. It has toys but they’re in this annoying vessel. My human says it’s a “bag”.

Sammy
That’s not a bag, it’s an impediment. Are there toys in there?

Belle
Yes! And they’re attached to something! I keep trying to pull them out with my mouth, they smell DELICIOUS, but I can’t!

Sammy
WHAT!!?? That’s just WRONG! Try to get one out and then use your feet.

Belle
At 16, I shouldn’t have to! I’m sitting near my human in protest but as you can see, it’s just touching my head! I mean….

Sammy
Have you tried hissing?

Belle
I have. Multiple times. Not working. Wait! My human is getting them off whatever that is but it’s putting them in something.

Sammy
OMG! I’ve been through this. Wait until it gets bored and moves away. Then investigate…

Belle
I will. I’m pretending I’m resting. Then I’ll jump down.

Harry
Hi Belle! Sammy heard a noise and went to see what it was. I understand you’re going to investigate? Did I hear something about toys?

Belle
Doing it now. Stay tuned.

Harry

Harry

Belle
It was just as I thought! They were in fact toys! My human set them free and placed them in some kind of prison!


Harry
Of course it did… Sammy’s coming back. I’ll let her know.

Belle
First there’s all these strange things with toys on them but I’m “not supposed to touch them”, then, the disturbing thing right on my relaxing point, then toys in a bag, then THIS!?

Sammy
I hear you Belle. Harry filled me in. Humans can be so selfish! I would remove myself if I were you. Go somewhere small like a closet, or under something.

Belle
Oh I definitely will! I’ll play with this toy and then, NO HUMAN WILL FIND ME FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE!! Thanks girl.

Sammy
I got you. Real quick, notice how mature Harry is? He turned 10.

I didn’t. Going to hide now. See you in 2024!
