You saw him walking by and you took the opportunity to use one of the gold coins in his little pouch of gold you took from him, and shined it on the wall. He instantly got attracted to it and began pouncing on it, till you put the coin back in its pouch.

"Someone forgot his money~" You teased, throwing the pouch back at him. He looked around himself, and checked that it was his pouch.

"You are dangerous." He smirked, putting the coin pouch back in his boot.

"Well, Humpty says you like danger~" You said, jumping down from the window ledge, walking closer to him.

"Just think of all the trouble we can get into." You sighed, walking around him slowly in a circle, your tail brushing past the tip of his nose. He took a small whiff and looked at you. "The two of us together, we can steal a lot of golden eggs." Your face moved closer, your whiskers about to touch one another. "Hmm?" You raised your eyebrows, now wearing his hat. Puss suddenly sees you wearing his hat and quickly grabs his hat back.

"And you owe me." You continued.

"I owe you?" He asked with a small smirk.

"Mmhmm. You hit me in the head with a guitar." You said, rubbing your head.

"I regret the guitar." He spoke softly, smiling a little and crossing his arms across his chest.

"Okay, I forgive you. So, you're in?" You asked, with your most convincing eyes. He chuckled a little, his arms still crossed.

"Well there is one teeny tiny itty bitty problem." He smiled, leaning closer to your face.

"And what is that?" You asked, also, leaning closer.

"You work... for the egg!"He suddenly yelled, and began to walk away.

"Oh, come on, Puss! What happened between you and Humpty that was so bad?" You asked, starting to get a little desperate.

"I am afraid with me and Humpty the scars are too deep. It all started a long time ago." He began, as if to tell a story.

"Oh, no, no, no, no! You really don't have to tell me your whole life story, please!" You said desperately, hoping he would get the point and join you, Kitty and Humpty.

"You may want to sit." He instructed, pushing you by your shoulders and sat you down on the stairs. "It is at times quite...painful."

"Okay, here we go." You grumbled. "Gotta deal with his dramatic ass."

~Time Skip~

"The egg betrayed me. His lies cost me everything." Puss finished. You silently snored, and he noticed. "Hey!" He nudged you.

"Wha? I'm awake, I'm awake.." You said sleepily, looking at him.

"You don't think I wanna fix the past?" Humpty asked, Kitty behind him. You looked at Humpty, confused, till you remembered the mission. You stood up, along with Puss. " I can't get down." He said quietly. Kitty came over to help him down, and turned him around. "Listen, a day...a day doesn't go by when I don't think about what I lost. I lost my best friend, my only friend." Humpty says sadly, walking closer to Puss, but he walks away, facing the other direction. "And I get it now, I got greedy and desperate and I let you down, I let myself down. All I'm asking for, Puss, is a second chance. Give me that second chance and I'll help repay you back San Ricardo. Please, Puss. Let me show you what our friendship meant to me." Humpty pleaded.

"I will do it." Puss said, turning around to face him.

"Oh, that's great." Humpty let out a deep breath.

"I will do this for my mother and for San Ricardo, not for you. We are not partners and we're not friends." Puss confirmed. You yawned a little, twirling your dagger. Kitty nudged you to put it away.

"Okay and I...I promise this time I will not let you down. Yes! I think we got our bean club back!" Humpty said, his voice full of excitement.

"Now, where shall we rest for the night?" Kitty asked.

"I have a wagon that's all ready to go. We can sleep there, and set off in the morning." Humpty suggested.

"Or, we could set off now." You commented.

"Okay, um, sure. That works. But, uh, who's driving?" Humpty asked.

"I'll do it." You grumbled. You four walked together until you reached the wagon. Kitty helped Humpty up, and laid down on the floor. You looked at Puss, before hopping on the driver's seat, clutching the reins tightly. He looked at the back of the wagon, before deciding to hop on the driver's seat next to you.

"W-why are you here?" You asked.

"We can take turns señorita." He said. "I'll take the first shift." You smiled at him and instead of going into the wagon, you laid your head on top of his shoulder. He flinched at first, but slowly relaxed. You drifted to sleep, the air cool and the surroundings quiet.

~Time Skip~

"Wake up señorita." He whispered, nudging you.

"Huh, what? I'm awake..." You mumbled, almost drifting back to sleep.

"It's your turn." He whispered.

"Ohhh. Sorry." You whispered back, taking the reins. Puss' eyes drooped, and he leant against you, his soft purrs sending shivers down your spine. You looked at him through the corner of your eye.

'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep, almost adorable.' You thought, then chuckled at your ridiculous thoughts.
