The next morning, you and Catnap wake up. You sigh and you smile saying, "That was a good night. I sure as fuck enjoyed it.~" He grins and chuckles saying, "Anything to hear you moaning and screaming my name, my Kitten. Ooh, you were fucking amazing, baby.~" You blush and you smile.

He gets up and he says, "I do believe we should get dressed, go downstairs and eat, then come back up to get our things. We'll be back on the road." You say, "Agreed." You see Catnap turning around and you look down at his ass. You smirk and you crawl over.

Catnap feels a kiss on one of his cheeks and his eyes widen. He blushes madly. He hears a giggle from you. He smirks and says, "H-hey. Kitten. I like where this is going. Dirty little vixen.~" You say, "Not much time, lovey. I would do that for you, but we need to get going. Get a move on." He says, "I love you so goddamn much.~" 

You get up as well and you both grab your clothes. You get them on and you say, "We really need to get to a thrift store once we keep moving. Have more clothes with us." He says, "Yeah. I hear you." You grab his hand and he takes yours. You both head out of your room and downstairs.

********************************************************

A moment later, you and Catnap are down in the lounge eating breakfast. It's hashbrowns, bacon, eggs and toast. And some milk to drink. Catnap's got the same thing you do. He chugs his milk and you say, "Easy there, lovey. I know milk gives you calcium, but it can make you sick if you drink too much of it." 

He puts the milk down, sighs and says, "I was thirsty. And I guess it's because it's milk... and I'm a cat." You say, "You do make a good point." You eat your food and so does he. He says, "Oh boy, I was hungry." 

You say, "See, Catnap? I knew you would be. Like I said yesterday evening... I don't want you driving on an empty stomach, lovey." He says, "And you were right." He eats his food. You smile and you eat yours. 

He says, "Man, you sound like any good wife would." You say, "Too bad I'm not your wife..." You look away mumbling, "Yet." He grins, hearing that last word. It's as if he's got something planned, soon.

**********************************************************

You and Catnap are back on the road. Once again, he's the one driving. You have just left the hotel and you're twenty miles from it. You're still driving through Kentucky since the state's pretty long, horizontally like Tennessee is.

(Btw, since it's 1995 this is what Catnap's car possibly looks like.)

You're both going down the road and the song playing on the radio is Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. You say, "Ah, great song." Catnap says, "Isn't this Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell?" You say, "Yes. And I love Soundgarden." 

He says, "You have a favorite song in particular by them?" You say, "Yeah. Rusty Cage." He says, "You and I have the same taste in music, Kitten." You sit back and you sigh. He says, "We'll be alright. I swear to you." You say, "No no. It's not that, lovey. I'm just... I'm relieved we got away just in time. The cops could've already showed up at your place right after we left." 

You look at the gas tank level and you say, "Oh, hell." He says, "What's wrong?" You say, "We're almost out of gas." He sees this and he says, "Ah shit. Next exit, we'll hit a gas station." You smile. The next song to come on is I Alone by Live. You sing to it a little bit.

It doesn't take long for you guys to find an exit just four miles later. Catnap drives up there and he gets to the gas station close by. It's an older gas station. You say, "This gas station's rather old, isn't it?" Catnap says, "Shit looks like it came from the 1940s." You say, "Oh well. We've got access, right?" He says, "Yeah." 

He parks right by a gas tank and he gets out. You do too. He gets to his gas tank and he opens the little door. You say, "I'll be back out, lovey. I have to tinkle." He says, "Alright." You say, "I'll get the gas, too. Hmm." You look and you say, "Pump number 2." He says, "There's only two pumps, babe. This is an old gas station that still happens to be up and running." You say, "True." 

You walk inside and you look around. You go to the counter and you say, "Hello there. I'd like to put this ten-dollar bill on pump 2 please." They turn around and you gasp. You recognize a blue fuzzy man standing behind the counter. 

Turns out it's Huggy Wuggy from school. One of the popular guys who was cocky back then. Now he looks kind of washed up. A bit chubbier. And so on. You say, "My god. H-Huggy Wuggy?" He says, "Wait a minute. I recognize that accent anywhere. I..." He gasps as he realizes it. 

He says, "(Y/N) (L/N)? Is... that you? The one Mommy Long Legs was jealous of?" You say, "Jealous? Of ME?" He says, "Oh yeah. She was completely envious of you because everyone thought you were prettier and loved your Australian accent and she was the queen bee. Oh, that bitch is such a user. She was manipulative and just straight up twisted. I was done with her the moment she dumped me. I feel bad for dumping Vicky for the skank." You say, "Well, Vicky's with Dog Day, now." He says, "I see. She did always like nicer guys." 

You hand your money and he takes it. He puts it in and he says, "Alright. All set." You say, "Thanks. How are you these days? It's been ten years." He sighs and says, "Not so well. I'll tell you all about it when you're done." You nod and you say, "I'll be right out. I've got Catnap waiting for me outside." 

He stops in his tracks and he says, "C-Catnap? That strange guy with the red smoke breath from high school?" You say, "Huggy. It's alright. He's better than you think. He was the way he was because everyone saw the worst in him." He sighs and says, "Alright. I'll talk to both of you when you're done." You nod and you say, "I'll be right out. I'm using the restroom." He says, "Go right ahead. It's in the back." 

You walk to the back of the store to find the restrooms and you go into the women's restroom. You go, flush, wash then leave the restroom. You walk to the counter and you see Huggy walking out. He says, "Lead me to Catnap." You say, "Come on." 

You head outside. Catnap says, "There. Full tank." He grins. You say, "Catnap. I've got someone you should see." He looks over and he sees a blue fuzzy guy. He recognizes him and his eyes widen. He thinks to himself, "Good god. Is this Huggy Wuggy? That bozo from high school that ridiculed others like the asshole he was? Jesus. He let himself go." 

Catnap faces Huggy and says, "Huggy Wuggy... Hey." Huggy says, "Hi, Catnap. Wow. Y-you're doing great, buddy. You look good. Handsome. And I'm not even gay... How are you?" Catnap says, "Can't complain. I've got my dream girl with me. My Kitten." You giggle and you say, "Lovey. Shh." 

You look at Huggy and you say, "You wanted to talk to both of us, right?" Catnap looks at you and looks at Huggy. Huggy nods and says, "You two come sit down with me. Right on the bench outside the station." You and Catnap follow Huggy.

You sit on the bench with him and you say, "So, tell us. What happened?" Huggy sighs and says, "My life is... not so good. As you can see. I've... I've put on weight from a lot of beer and junk food. Some cocaine at times, too." 

Catnap says, "And you were the popular guy." Huggy says, "Yeah... But I regret the way I was then. Even dumping Vicky. (Y/N) here tells me she's with Dog Day, now." Catnap says, "Well, pal... It's true. She told me herself. She was living with them." 

Huggy says, "I left Baltimore for reasons." You say, "So did we." He looks at you. He says, "Why did YOU two leave?" Catnap says, "(Y/N) and I reunited ten years after my absence. We saw each other while I played our song. What about Love by Heart." Huggy says, "That's a good one." You say, "Very good." 

Catnap says, "A day later, she came back to the same place we reunited and, well... I chloroformed her and brought her to my place. A bit of kidnapping. I couldn't risk losing the woman of my dreams again. But just a day or so ago, I was found out. We left before the police could get to us." 

Huggy says, "So, you kidnapped her and nearly got caught, huh?" You both nod. He says, "That's nothing." You say, "What do you mean? What could you have possibly done that was worse than that? Not that I care. I love Catnap." 

He says, "Oh boy. How do I put this?" You both look at him. He looks at you guys and he says, "The next girl I was with after Mommy Long Legs. Her name was Sandra Manson. At first, things were going smoothly. She was nicer... at first. Then it all went downhill." 

You say, "Oh god. What happened?" Huggy says, "I caught her cheating on me... With my goddamn sister, Kissy!!" You gasp. Catnap looks away and gives a single whistle. Huggy says, "I let my sister go because I love her... but Sandra. Ooh ho no. I didn't let HER get by with it." 

Catnap says, "What did you do, Huggy?" Huggy says, "I kind of... forced myself onto her and she screamed for somebody. I-I couldn't risk getting caught, so I grabbed a knife nearby and repeatedly stabbed her. I did it until... she stopped moving." 

You're in shock and you say, "Blazes, Huggy! That's messed up, mate." Catnap says, "I've done some fucked up shit, Huggy. But Jesus... Then again, I'm not one to judge getting back at others. There are far worse people than both of us combined." 

You say, "A horrible individual I want to see meet with a fate worse than Catnap's red smoke would be... Well, let's just say that it starts with the letter P and ends with E." Catnap says, "That one I can agree on." Huggy says, "Same. That's fucked up right there." 

You look at Huggy and you say, "Huggy. How would you like to leave with us? We're leaving further away than this." Huggy says, "I would, but I still need to keep up my job here. I'm the one who's here most of the time. I'm the general manager. But... I will give you my address. I'll write it down and give it to you." You smile and you say, "Great." 

You all head inside the station. Huggy goes and grabs a piece of paper and pen and writes down his address. He hands it to you and Catnap takes it. He looks at you and says, "Guys... I'm sorry for how I was before. Things change. You come to realize a different way of... things. You know?" You and Catnap nod. 

He says, "You guys are great. Even if you two are also running for a reason. Mine is still a bit worse. Take care." You and Catnap hold your hands out and Huggy takes them. You all shake hands and you pull away. You say, "Huggy. It was great seeing you again, mate." 

Catnap says, "You're not as much of that popular bozo as I thought you were then." Huggy laughs a bit and he says, "Good luck with your destination. Goodbye." You all say your goodbyes and you and Catnap head out. You get in his car and he starts it. You both take off.
