Catnap and Dogday had returned home after visiting Kickin once again, Crafty needed some company since Hoppy would be spending more time training. The puppy sat on the couch and took a deep breath, before that he was very excited but after taking a deep breath, he lost that look, becoming a little... sad.
His father noticed this, he yawned a little and threw the car keys on the counter;
— Tell me, why were you happy a few seconds ago, and now you're kind of sad? And look, you didn't even play much with Crafty — he sits down next to Dogday.
— Ah… hehe, it's just that I want to project a good image to whoever sees me, people like people who are happy and cheerful, especially when they are children… and I'm not sad hehe — he said smiling a little.
— Oh boy, be yourself, not what others want, after all, if being neutral is your way, then you don't need to change — she caressed him and quickly stood up — for a long time I pretended to be someone I wasn't, and well, I regretted it... — she went behind the counter and grabbed a glass.
Dogday thinks for a while and then sighs once more, he goes back to being neutral and then picks up his cell phone. Catnap watched from afar what he was doing, and was a little impressed by the content he saw on “YouTube”, not childish things like animations or the infamous “coco something”, much of it was about economics, another part was about behaviors and the rest was just common questions.
“Hmm… he’s not such a normal child… he must have something special… autism? Nah, I can’t go around making diagnoses just because of a different behavior” as he finished drinking water.
The day went on normally, but the purple cat kept an eye on what his little boy was doing, he even asked Ten Zero Six for help, after all, watching what Dogday did was not something the cat thought of doing.
Result? The puppy doesn't live anything other than educational content or life advice — Catnap even agreed with some of this advice.
Late afternoon, Catnap had a brief idea, but it would cost money, after all, he and Kickin chose a simple cell phone model for Dogday, and Cat had the brilliant idea of taking the puppy to choose one;
— Hey boy… let’s go? I want to take you somewhere — said Catnap, who didn’t even seem to have gotten ready to go out.
— Of course! And… umm… you look a bit disheveled… — he said, looking his father up and down.
— Tsc… naahh, it’s not something I care about much — he took the car keys — speaking of which, I’ll need to stop somewhere first, then we’ll go where I want to take you.
— Okay! I think I'll go like this... I didn't even change my clothes or sweat, so I'm safe, hehe — he jumped off the couch showing energy.
— Okay, let's go — he walked out the door;
They would go by Viper once again, Catnap headed to an area near the city center, it didn't take long and the two arrived at a dealership;
Inside, Catnap talks to the attendant, saying that he is interested in a certain car, and in the meantime, Dogday walked around the place, seeing and appreciating the vehicles, that is, until he ended up being enchanted by one of the models, it was a BMW, kind of square, long, that specific model was orange.
— This is a BMW M3 E36, a beautiful rare piece — said an attendant who noticed the boy.
— Ah… oh, I was just looking, but it’s a nice car anyway — he said a little nervously.
— I know, some kids are glued to the dealership window because of the cars they have here, they're all good and the kids go crazy — he said.
— Yeah, mine has a car too, two actually, they’re noisy but I ended up liking them…
— Do you want to get in?
Dogday is scared and asks if this is really possible, the attendant said yes and approached that car, opening the driver's door and calling the boy, who soon approached, and with a little nervousness, he sits on the seat;
He sees everything differently on this side of the car, he wasn't used to it but he liked it, his paws almost reached the pedals but there was still a little bit left. His tail wagged a lot while his imagination ran wild.
They took a while as Catnap watched Dogday from afar with a smile, but there came a time when they had to go, so they left, and went to that huge mall.
The pair headed to a cell phone store, Dogday found it strange;
— Hey… let’s buy a new cell phone? But we already have one… — he said, walking hand in hand with Cat.
— Hehe, calm down boy, the new cell phone is a gift, Kickin and I chose your current cell phone because it's simpler and still has buttons for better interaction with you... hehe —
— So it was a way to get used to the device, and now that I'm used to it, I'll get a completely different interface as a prize? Cool — he said smiling.
— You know too much, but yes, that's exactly what happened, hehe — Saying that, Dogday got a little scared, but soon returned to normal.
Inside the store, Catnap told him to look for one that he liked, whether in appearance or other aspects, Dogday gets nervous but soon sets off to look for one that he likes.
After a long search, he found one in particular that caught his attention, not because of the screen, the size of the device, or the memories, but because of the shape of the rear camera: it was a huge circle at the top, and the camera lenses were underneath the glass.
He even thought it would be a camera, but no, it was a cell phone, he even considered looking through the others but this one recorded in his mind, soon the puppy calls for his father, who sees the choice and is impressed by the model;
The price wasn't too steep, but it was bought anyway.
With the device in hand, paid for, the two returned home. But, still in the car;
— Mmmm… dad, real quick, can I take the wheel? — she asked innocently.
— Hmm? Huh… for what? — Even though it’s a cat, its tail wags strangely.
— I wanted to learn how to drive, I can't reach the pedals but I can see over the steering wheel! — he said excitedly.
— Hehe, it's okay boy, thank goodness the street is completely empty — he pulled over the car, and quickly picked up the puppy to put on his lap.
Dogday's tail wagged cutely when he was picked up, and when he was put on my lap, it didn't stop at all - what did you think? That it would stop? I think you're wrong, you idiot!
Catnap explained exactly how the steering wheel of that car worked, the boy understood and immediately moved the steering wheel, the cat noticed that the wheels were now aligned and congratulated the boy, who immediately gave the signal to press the clutch;
He stepped on it, and Dogday engaged first gear, Cat drove off and Dog steered the vehicle, while changing gears without looking at the gearshift. The empty track was good for high speeds, the little dog was happy to get a taste of driving.
They turned around Incript and headed home.
