Chapter 11

“Come on, let’s get home. I’m sure the guests are going to be wanting dinner before too long. And I need to check in on them, anyway,” I told Luna. She trotted after me as I retrieved my broom. I was still reeling from the adrenaline rush of sneaking into the police station and getting caught. By Chief Forsetti, no less. How come every time I did anything even remotely illegal and risky, he was the one who caught me?

Maybe because he was the head of law enforcement in town.

“Good. I need to take a bath,” my familiar announced as she hopped up onto the broom and then up to my shoulder, where she curled up and got comfortable for the ride home. I raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.

“A bath?” I repeated incredulously. She shrugged.

“Yes,” she said simply.

“You. You want to take a bath. Like, with water? In a bathtub?” I spelled out, still dubious.

“Yes! Ugh, how dense are you? You know what a bath is, don’t you?” she said, groaning in exasperation, as if she was having to explain the simplest thing in the world to the dumbest person in the world.

“Luna, the last time I suggested giving you a bath you broke a vase and wouldn’t talk to me for five days,” I told her, trying not to giggle. “So, forgive me for being a little surprised that you’ve suddenly had a massive change of heart on the matter.”

“Well, normally, I can clean myself just fine, thank you. But I can tell that with that new bratty, spoiled princess cat in town I’m going to have to step up my game. I’m talking shampoo. Conditioner. That weird pet-perfume you told me about. I want to smell like a sugar cookie fresh out of the oven. And lilacs. And strawberries,” she rambled. “I need to be the best, Arti!”

“Okay, okay, I get it! You’re going full beauty pageant on me, aren’t you? Luna, you know you’re already the best cat, right? You don’t have to prove yourself to anybody,” I assured her. But she was too far gone, wrapped up in a confusing combination of her own ego and insecurity. I could see the cogs in her little head turning, churning out new ways for her to improve her likability and prestige. I sighed.

She finally answered in a quiet voice, “I know I’m the best cat. You know I’m the best cat. But I need everybody else to know it, too.”

“Okay, Lu. Whatever you say. You want a fancy bath, you got it. If it will make you feel better about yourself,” I relented. “Now, let’s get out of here before Officer Forsetti arrests me for loitering or whatever.”

I kicked off the ground and propelled us up into the air. We zoomed out of the area, leaving the police station far behind as I picked up the speed. I shivered in the cool evening air. We were deep into autumn now, nearly into winter, and the nights were getting darker and colder every day.
