Pee Wee was dressed as the nurse. 
     For some reason, it looked creepy 
to me, and I even cringed a little when
he came over.                          
     Pee Wee slapped me on the back,   
and asked, “Are you ready for the big  
moment?” and the spell was broken.     
Right then, his costume seemed like the
funniest thing I'd ever seen, ever.    
     “Sorry,” I said in between tears, 
“nice get-up by the way,” and then     
realized what he'd said.               
     “What big moment? The             
Cat-napping?”                          
     “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking    
about.”                                
     The way he said it, didn’t sound  
right, but I let it go. Instead, I got 
them both up to speed on what happened 
today, and they didn't seem concerned  
* either, but unfortunately, that’s when   
I remembered their Cab Company.        
     “Isn’t tonight a big night for you
guys? Shit! I’m sorry. I forgot all    
about that.”                           
     “This’ll be worth it,” Pee Wee    
said, “and besides, Rico will make us  
some money, so no worries there,       
buddy.”                                
     “I wouldn’t miss this for the     
world,” Mouse added, and then excused  
herself to go hang out with Rhonda and 
Beth.                                  
     Not that I cared, but it sure     
looked like Beth had met everyone      
already, and not just from talking on  
the walkie either.                     
     I could've sworn that Mouse just  
gave Beth a hug and also congratula-   
tions. Congratulations for what, I     
wondered. Our up-coming wedding? Ok,   
that made sense, I think? Maybe, that’s
what Pee Wee really meant?
