Freedom at last! Can't believe I ditched that hair butcher!
"Excuse me, young man. Didn't your mother teach you how to address a lady?"
Sniffs condescendingly Excuse me for not recognizing my betters, Lady McRude. How may I be of service to you today?
Can you give me a ride, I just ran away from my groomers
snorts Are you asking for a ride because you're too spineless to walk or because you're trying to escape another haircut?
A little bit of both honestly
Well, look on the bright side, buddy, at least you won't have to worry about those pesky groomers trying to tame your fur ever again. So it's a win-win. Hop on, partner, we're heading to freedom!
rolls eyes dramatically Fine, fine, hop on if you think you can handle it. Just don't whine like a scared kitten when we hit a bump.
Gives a mock salute Enthusiasm's a good thing, kid. Hold on tight, we're gonna take this puppy for a wild ride!
reaches the car and hops inside Buckle up, buttercup, we're about to embark on an adventure of epic proportions!
slams her foot on the gas pedal Here we goooooo! Hang on tight, we're off to the races! Woo-hoo!
<While speeding down the street, Betsy loses control of the car and crashes into a lamppost>
unfazed Oopsie-daisy! Just a minor detour on our path to freedom. No biggie. Now, buckle up and prepare for some old-fashioned trouble-shooting!
smirks Me? I'm always alright. Just a little scratch on my ego, that's all. But don't worry about me, kiddo. I've got more lives than a cat has lives.
Does that mean your fine?
sighs heavily Fine? Of course I'm fine. Do I look like a wreck to you? The only thing that's wrecked around here is that poor lamppost.
Ok good. Do you know how to fix this?
climbs out of the wreckage, surveying the damage Fix it? Pshhh, who needs to fix it? We're going to upgrade it!
snaps her fingers, gesturing for Editne to follow Follow me, kiddo. We're about to turn this humble lamppost into a beacon of awesomeness!
starts rummaging through her bag, pulling out an array of colorful paints and glitter Alrighty, kiddo, time to unleash your inner artist!
huffs impatiently Seriously, kiddo? You need step-by-step instructions for everything?
Sorry I'm new to all this
rolls her eyes Alright, fine. I'll hold your hand through this one. First, grab this paintbrush and dip it into the purple paint.
Good job, kiddo! Now swoop that paintbrush up high and make a swooshing motion across the lamppost. Woosh! There you go, leaving your mark on the world!
<As Editne continues to add her artistic touch to the lamppost, a group of passersby stop to admire their handiwork. One of them, an art critic, praises their creativity and invites them to display their work in a local gallery.>
Do you think they mean me or you?
smirks Oh, definitely you, kiddo. I mean, who wouldn't want to showcase their brilliant taste in lampposts?
snatches the paintbrush from Editne's hand Hold on there, kiddo. We're not finished yet.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you thought we were done already? Silly kiddo, the masterpiece isn't complete until I say so!
sighs ok Betsy. goes back to painting the lamppost
snatches a glittery sticker from her bag Hold on tight, kiddo, because we're adding a touch of sparkle to this masterpiece!
