                                            Chapter Two: Daily Routine




[T.U.F.F. Headquarters, Several Days Later]



Kitty was at her desk, typing something at her Office Computer. just then, she felt something tug at her pants leg.

She looked to see Andy looking at her.


"Miss Kitty.."


Kitty sighed. "Yes, Andy..what is it??!"


"Will you play with me??"


Kitty sighed. "No, Andy, I'm busy working. why don't you go ask Dudley?, I'm sure he'll play with you."


"he's not here."


"What!!? then, Where IS He!??"


"He's trying to get snacks out of a vending machine. he's been gone for hours."


Kitty sighed. "Okay, FINE. I guess I could take a break."


Kitty got out of her chair a stood up. she then took a moment to stretch her stiff back.


"Okay..what do you wanna play??" asked Kitty, sternly


"Uhhh.."


"I KNOW what we can play." Kitty reached into her pocket and took out a rubber ball. "I play THIS game with Dudley all the

time."


Kitty threw the ball. "GO GET IT!!!"


Andy ran after the ball. Kitty smiled to herself. "that should keep him occupied."


Kitty turned to return to her work.


"AGENT KATSWELL!!!" Kitty saw a device roll to her. as always, a screen with Chief Dumbrownski was seen.


"CHIEF!!"


"Where is Maxwell??"


"Oh, he's..AROUND."


"He's suppose to be WITH YOU!! DOOM could have spies here, ready to attack at any moment!!!"


"Uhh..."


At that moment, Andy came back. "I got the Ball, Miss Kitty!!" exclaimed the human child. "sorry it took so long..it bounced

into a trash can, so I had to crawl in to get it."


Kitty smiled nervously as the Chief eyed her. "You're just LUCKY a DOOM Agent wasn't in that trash Can."

The Chief "rolled" away. Kitty the eyed Andy.


"Did I do something wrong??"


Kitty sighed. "no...you didn't. but, I AM going to give a few "words" to Dudley next time I see him."


Kitty returned to her desk.


"Miss Kitty??"


"YES, Andy."


"I'm bored."


Kitty groaned stressfully. "Then, go watch some TV."


"Okay."


Andy walked off. several minutes passed..then, an ALARM sounded.


(("WARNING!! SELF-DESTRUCT HAS BEEN INITIATED.")) Said the Computer Voice


Kitty looked to see Andy at a Console Mainframe. "ANDY!!!"


Kitty immediately ran over and quickly typed some codes.


(("SELF DESTRUCT CANCELLED."))


Kitty sighed with relief. she then glared at Andy.


"KATSWELL!!!!"


Kitty froze at the Chief's bellowing voice. "oh, great..."





[Meanwhile, at DOOM's "Not-So-Secret" Base]


"I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!!!!" Exclaimed Snaptrap as he pounded on his table "Our attack on the Human Government Facility was a

TOTAL FAILURE!!!!"


"Well, maybe it wouldn't have been, if you didn't pack so much explosives, and blew everything up." Said Larry, Snaptrap's

"Brother-In-Law"

Snaptrap eyed him. he then drew out a laser and blasted Larry, frying him.


"Anybody else got a comment??"


the other criminals shook their heads.


"So..whut's da' plan, Boss?" Asked Francisco


"I..have no idea."


"Well, maybe we should capture that MAXWELL Kid. he IS the only son of those Government Scientists that we blew up by

accident." Said Ollie


Snaptrap smiled.


"YES!!! we shall capture this KID, and suck all the information locked in his TINY, LITTLE HEAD!!!"


"But, he's under TUFF Protection. worst yet, Kitty Katswell and Dudley Puppy are guarding him!!"


Snaptrap crossed his arms.


"Sheesh!!, your a Buzzkill, Larry. and, you know what I do with "Buzzkills??"..I THROW THEM IN SHARK TANKS!!!"


Snaptrap pressed a button on a remote. the floor behind larry opens up, revealing a pool full of sharks.


Larry just sighs. "not again.."


Larry`s chair jerks down, tossing him into the pool. Snaptrap smiles to himself.


"OH, I NEVER GET TIRED OF THAT!!!"


"We know." Said all of Snaptrap's henchmen in union




[Later, Somewhere in Petropolis]

Kitty was driving her Spycar at full speed. Dudley was in the car, as was Andy.


"Yo, Kitty..I think you should slow down." Said Dudley.


"I CAN'T, Dudley! Birdbrain is robbing an Electronics store as we speak!!"


"But, Andy is getting Car Sick."


Kitty glanced at Andy (who looked pale.) she sighed sharply as she slowed down.


Andy eventually relaxed.


"GREAT!! Andy's looking better, already!!" Said Dudley


Kitty saw a bluebird fly ahead of her car..she then sighed.




[Hours Later]


Kitty pulled her car up to an Electronics Store. she leaped out of the Car (along with Dudley), wielding Laser Guns.


"FREEZE, BIRDBRAI-" Sadly, Birdbrain wasn't there.


"Uhhh..are we in the wrong place??"


"NO, We're in the Right Place..JUST THE WRONG TIME!!!"


Kitty and Dudley looked up to see Birdbrain in a helicopter.


"HA-HAAAAA!!!! Now, with these all this stolen electronics..I shall soon construct a DOOMSDAY DEVICE and DESTROY

Petropolis!!!!"


"BRILLIANT, BIRDBRAIN!!!" Chirped Zippy the Hummingbird


Birdbrain laughed out loud as his helicopter flew away. Kitty glared at Dudley.


"Great, Dudley. WE LOST THEM!!!"


"It's no big deal! it's not like we don`t know where to find him..he`s in the yellow pages."


Kitty sighed. "it can't get any worse than this..."


Andy suddenly got woozy. "ohhh...I don't feel so goo-" Andy covered his mouth, then threw up in the car. "Oops..."


Kitty slapped her hand onto her face.




[Later]



Kitty drove the car out of a Carwash.


"Okay, Let's go. while the car was getting washed, I got word from Chief that The Chameleon is robbing the Natural History

Museum." Said Kitty


"THEN, LET'S GO KICK HIS TAIL!!!!" Exclaimed Dudley


"I'm HUNGRY." Said Andy


Kitty groaned. "Andy, WE DON'T HAVE TIME!!, The Chameleon is robbing a museum!!!"


Dudley's stomach soon growled.


"Kitty..I think the little dude onto something!"


Kitty sighed. "Fine.." Kitty quickly turned the car around, and pulled up to a Fast Food Restaurant.


"Welcome to BURGER QUEEN, may I take your order??" Said an Employee


"Yeah, I need one Kids Meal-"


"KITTY!!!"


"(sigh) make that TWO kids meals."


The employee typed something in. "That`ll be "$10.95", Ma`am."




[Much Later]


The doors to the Museum burst open..and, a Chameleon (in a black, Techno-Suit) rushed out with a wheel barrel full of jewels.


"HA-HA!!! all the pretty, sparkly things are ALL MINE!!!!"


Just then, Kitty drove up and leaped out of the Car, aiming her Laser gun at Chameleon. "FREEZE, CHAMELEON!!!"


Chameleon smiled. "Kitty Katswell....we MEET AGAIN." Chameleon morphed his arms into cannons..which shot goop at Kitty,

binding her like ropes.

she fell down, unable to move.


"DUDLEY!!, GET OUT HERE AND HELP ME!!!!"


"I CAN'T, KITTY!! My fries are getting cold!!"


Chameleon snickered as he ran off with his wheel barrel.





[Later]

Kitty was once again, driving the car.

she had ONE MORE chance to catch a villain..and, she WASN'T planning on losing, this time.


"Okay..we're almost to the Bank that Doctor Rabies and Madame Catastrophe are robbing."


"I need to go to the bathroom!!" Said Andy


Kitty stopped the car with a screech. "Can't. you. HOLD IT!!?"


"I CANT!!"


Dudley looked at Andy as he twitched around. "Kitty..I THINK HE MEANS IT!!!"


Kitty groaned, then pulled over to a curb.


"THERE!! Now, go near that bush!!"


"KITTY!, Andy can't just go in a bush!! He's not an ANIMAL!!!" Said Dudley


Kitty sighed. "Alright, fine."


Kitty drove off to a Gas Station. Andy ran out the car..and waited.


"What??"


"Someone needs to go with me."


Kitty sighed. "Fine."


Kitty got out of the car and walked with Andy. Andy ran through the Convenience Store, and into the Restroom while Kitty

followed him.

Kitty soon stood outside a stall in the Boys Bathroom. she tapped her fingers stressfully (as well as smiling nervously to

every man who walked in and out.)


"(sigh) how LONG is this going to take??" Muttered Kitty


Kitty creaked the door open.


"GAAHH!!!"


"S-SORRY!!, SORRY!!!!" Stuttered Kitty, who closed the door




[Hours Later]


Kitty marched out of the Gas Station with Andy right behind her. once inside, Kitty slammed the door shut, and narrowed her

eyes angrily.


"now..does ANYONE ELSE need to take a "Potty Break!??"


"Uh-"


"YOU CAN HOLD IT, DUDLEY!!" Kitty stomped on the Gas Pedal and sped off.


She soon drove up to the Bank..where she saw Rabies and Catastrophe (who were the very spitting image of Dudley and Kitty.)


Dudley and Kitty leaped out and aimed their guns at their "Dopplegangers" "FREEZE, YOU KNOCKOFFS!!!"


Rabies and Catastrophe smiled, then dropped their bags of cash. they then drew out THEIR weapons and aimed them at Dudley and

Kitty.


"Been waiting a long time for dis!!" Said Rabies in a Russian Accent


"Yes, Daw'link." Added Catastrophe, who ALSO had a Russian accent


Both Cat and Dog duos started firing their lasers. Andy soon crawled up to the front an watched.


"DON`T WORRY!!, I'LL HELP!!!"


Andy began to press some random buttons.

this caused the Spycar to do all sorts of things..EXCEPT help Dudley and Kitty.


"Darn. which one of these fires a weapon."


Andy then saw a BIG, RED BUTTON. "Hmm..this looks promising."


Andy pressed the button..which caused a laser to appear.
the Laser fired at the battle (but, the flash made it difficult to see.)


Andy looked ahead. "DID I GET THEM!??"


when the dust settled..Doctor Rabies and Madame Catastrophe were still standing.
(and, Dudley and Kitty were on the ground..fried, and paralysed.)


"Gee, THANKS KID!!! we REALLY should be doing this again, sometime!!" Said Rabies


The two villains left with their bags of cash, laughing evily the whole way.


"oops."




[T.U.F.F. Headquarters, Later That Day]


Kitty marched into TUFF Headquarters with an angry look on her face. as she approached her desk, Dudley stopped to look at

Andy.


"You'd better stay here..I should talk to her."


"Is Miss Kitty angry with me??" Asked Andy innocently


"Angry??, WITH YOU!?? No, don't be silly..sh-she isn't Angry with you."


Dudley then struggled to think up an answer. "She's just..really stressed out. you know what this job can do to a person."


Dudley walked off, leaving Andy alone.


Kitty took a sip of coffee as Dudley approached.


"hey, Kitty."


Kitty grumbled.


"Your..not still mad about today, are you??"


Kitty's fur stood on end. she clenched her fist, then turned to face her partner.

"of course not, Dudley. I ALWAYS feel "cheerful" when Villains get away from me." Said Kitty with a "creepy" smile


"Oh..well, that's a relie-"


"OF COURSE I`M STILL MAD!!!!" Shouted Kitty


Dudley flinched.


"I hate it when ONE Villain gets away..but, losing THREE VILLAINS IN A ROW!!?"


"Oh, come on!! it's not so bad."


"NOT SO BAD!!!??? Dudley..Three of the MOST WANTED criminals in Petropolis got away from us ALL-IN-ONE-DAY!!"


"Actually, FOUR villains got away when you count Doctor Rabies AND Madame Catastrophe."


Kitty crossed her arms. "Yeah..and, that's ANOTHER problem." began Kitty

"I can understand it if BIRDBRAIN and CHAMELEON get away..but, RABIES AND CATASTROPHE!!?
 They're our EVIL Counterparts from a Parallel Universe!!, we should of EASILY captured them!!"


Kitty sighed sharply. Dudley then placed his hand on her.


"Oh, don't worry Kitty..so we're having an "Off Day", it's not your fault."


"Your right, Dudley: It's NOT my fault. and, FOR ONCE..it even isn`t yours."


Kitty finally turned and face Dudley. "Its HIM."


"Him, who??"


"MAXWELL!!!"


"WHAT!? Oh, COME ON!!..that's crazy."


"CRAZY!!? Dudley, ever since that kid came along, it's been one disaster after another!!

 Not only does he drive me CRAZY at my own house, but HE is the reason we failed to capture ANY Villains and Criminals

today!!!"


"Come on, Kitty..he's just a kid. and, besides: it's our job to protect him from Snaptrap."


Kitty sighed. "Dudley..SNAPTRAP ISN'T AFTER HIM!!! We have NO PROOF that Andy even KNOWS any Classified secrets AT ALL!!!

 For all we know, Snaptrap may have given up on that failed plan of his..LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES!!!"


Kitty growls as she crossed her arms.


"I`ll be glad once this whole thing is settled..Then, that kid can have his OWN family, and be OUT-OF-MY-LIFE!!"


"KITTY!! that's kind of MEAN..even for you."


Kitty eyed Dudley. "I'm Sorry, Dudley..but, that kid DID Zap me with my own SPYCAR!!!!"


"Hey, he zapped me, too!! but, you don't see me angry."


Kitty sighed. "whatever. I have a TON of paperwork to do."


Kitty sat down at her desk. Dudley just sighed as he walked off.


Unknown to BOTH Dudley and Kitty..Andy (who had secretly followed Dudley, despite his orders) had seen and heard EVERYTHING.
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes as he hid from view. he finally wiped them from his eyes and silently walked off.




[Later That Day]


Closing Time soon came, and all the Agents whose Shift had ended got ready to leave for home.

Kitty turned off her computer and soon got up from her chair. "Dudley??"


Kitty looked around, but saw that Dudley was NOWHERE to be seen. "Hmm..must of gone home, already."


Kitty soon walked off. she eventually found Andy, who was sitting quietly by himself.
she sighed sharply as she remembered her and Dudley's "Argument" ("maybe Dudley is right, maybe I 'WAS' being to hard on the

kid.")


Kitty soon approached Andy, who just looked up at her. "Hey, Andy..ready to go??"


Andy sighed. "yeah...I guess so."


Kitty raised an eyebrow in confusion. Andy was normally more "Energetic"..like Dudley after eating TOO MANY donuts.

Andy's sudden "Calmness" was odd to her.


"Are you..feeling alright??" asked Kitty, in a kinder tone


"S-sure..I'm just tired."


Kitty smiled.

"Well, I can relate. I'm pretty tired, too. It's been a LONG DAY, and right now..I just want to relax."


Andy looked away. Kitty then helped him up. "Come on..let's go home."


Andy nodded weakly. "yeah..home."


Andy walked out of the Main Office with Kitty. the two soon reached the garage where Kitty's car was parked.

The two got inside and Kitty drove off into the city.




[Later, at Kitty`s House]


Kitty and Andy walked into the house. the cat turned on the lights, and exhaled deeply.


"what a day..."


Andy walked off.


"Where are you going??"


"To bed."


"But, it's only "Eight Thirty-Seven."


"Yeah, well..I'm REALLY tired."


Kitty shrugged. "Okay. do you want a snack or something??"


"no..i'm n-not hungry."


"oh..okay, then."


Andy soon left, leaving Kitty alone. as Kitty approached her couch and sat down..her phone rang.



BRRRRRING!!!

BRRRRRING!!!

BRRRRRING!!!



Kitty sighed. she reached over, and answered it.


"Hello??"


(("Kitty??"))


Kitty instantly recognized the voice.


"Mom??, is that YOU??"


(("Yeah, Kitty..it`s me."))


"Well, HI. how are you doing??" Said Kitty in a pleasant tone


(("Oh, nothing..I was just looking through my old photo albums. and, found your old pictures."))


Kitty sighed sharply. ("oh, boy...")


Kitty heard he mother`s voice break a little. (("You know, you were such an ADORABLE kitten..your father loved you SO MUCH

when he was alive."))

Kitty sighed sadly. like herself, her was an agent at TUFF. he was so good, he was transferred to another agency in the human

territories (one so secret, even it's NAME was classified.)

sadly, he was deemed "missing in action" shortly after Kitty's birth (so, she never knew him. all she had were old pictures,

and her mother's stories.)

Naturally, Kitty joined TUFF mostly for her father. and, despite hardly remembering him..she still missed him.


"yeah...I know." Replied Kitty


there was a silence..then, Kitty's Mother spoke again.


(("You know...it was HARD raising you by myself. god knows you were quite difficult as a child..

   But, I loved you..and, the Smile on your face made it all worth it."


Kitty's mother then sighed.


(("I just wished I could of given you a BETTER childhood."))


"You did FINE, mom."


(("I know, Kitty..but, I feel I could of done better.")


Kitty sighed sharply. she didn`t want to admit it (Especially to her mother), But, she DID wish her childhood was better.

Since she was a Five Year Old Kitten..she was lonely. she hardly had ANY friends, those she DID have..Didn't stick around very

long.

It was because of her lack of friends that she became so "Anti-Social" later in life.
Kitty mostly blamed the BAD HABITS she had as a child..habits that she (Thankfully) grew out of as an Adult.

But, still...Kitty wished things could of been different.


(("Anyway, I just called because I wanted to speak to my Daughter..AND, because I'm wondering if you've given me any

Grandchildren, yet."


"MOM!!"


(("Well, I AM!!! I'm not getting any Younger, you know! AND, I WANT SOME GRANDKIDS!!!"))


Kitty sighed.


"Mom, I'm..I'm working on it. I just haven`t found the right guy, yet."


(("Well, what about that PARTNER of yours?? That "Dudley" person seems like a Nice young fellow."))


"D-DUDLEY!!? but..But, he's just my Friend!!"


Kitty heard her Mother chuckle. (("yeah..and, so were me and your Father, once."))


Kitty sighed.

"I'm..not sure, Mom. I've been so busy with work, that I've never thought about stuff like that."


(("Well, find some time! you won't be a TUFF Agent, forever..and, you need to consider your future."))


Kitty sighed sharply. realizing her mother was RIGHT.


(("Well, I'd better go. your uncle will be visiting with your cousins, and I STILL haven't cleaned the house, yet."))


"Oh, okay. bye, mom"


(("Goodbye, Kitty..I love you."))


(("love you, too, mom."))


Kitty hung up her phone. she took a deep breath, then EXHALED sharply.



*****


Several Hours Later, Kitty was now in her bed Asleep. as she slept, her door creaked open and Andy snuck inside.
he approached her silently..then took out a piece of paper, and laid it down at the table next to Kitty's bed.

Andy then sighed sharply as he looked at Kitty.


"i'm sorry.." said Andy sadly, tears in his eyes


Andy quickly left the room. once in the hall, he put on his back pack and walked towards a window.

he managed to open it and crawl outside the house. after closing the window with some effort, he quickly ran as fast as he

could into the city.





[The Next Morning]


Kitty soon awoke to the Alarm of her clock. she groggily turned it off, and sat up to stretch.
She got out of her bed and walked out of her room. Kitty went into the Kitchen and began to make some coffee.


"ANDY!!! GET UP!!, IT'S MORNING!!!"


Several minutes soon passed..and, Kitty got no answer.


"ANDY!!?"


Kitty finally marched out of the kitchen. she walked over to Andy's Room, and opened the door.

Kitty expected to see Andy in his bed, still sleeping. but, INSTEAD..she found a bed that wasn't even slept in.


"Andy??"


Kitty left the room and began to look around her house.


"Andy??! ANDY, WHERE ARE YOU!!?"


After half an hour of searching, Kitty became frantic.


"ANDY MAXWELL, if this is your Idea of a Joke-"


Suddenly, Kitty stopped. she spotted something in her room that she didn't recognize.

Kitty immediately ran in and grabbed the paper. as she read the crude writing, her expression slowly changed from

aggravation..to Fear, and Dread


"no..."



         'DEAR MISS KITTY.

          I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE TROUBLE I CAUSED.
          I DIDN`T MEAN TO MAKE YOUR LIFE HARDER.


          SO..I'M RUNNING AWAY.
          IF HAVING ME GONE WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER..THEN, I'LL LEAVE.



                                                       -ANDY MAXWELL



           P.S. I'M SORRY ABOUT ZAPPING WITH YOUR CAR`S LASER.
                I TRIED TO HELP YOU..BUT, I GUESS I`M NOTHING BUT A JINX.




Tears welled up in Kitty's eyes as guilt swept over her. Andy MUST have heard what she said about him at TUFF..and, he had ran

away because of it.


Andy was gone because of her.


Kitty quickly grabbed her TUFF Communicator Watch. "DUDLEY!! DUDLEY, COME IN!!!!"


After several minutes, Dudley appeared on the small screen. he looked tired, so..he must of been sleeping.


"(yawn) what is it, Kitty??"


"Dudley, we have an Emergency!!"


"What is it??"


Kitty tried not to cry as she spoke. but, her emotions were TOO MUCH for her.


"It's..IT'S ANDY." Began Kitty, her voice breaking "He's..gone."


"Gone??!"


"He RAN AWAY!!, Andy ran away from me!!!"


"Calm down, Kitty!! now, when did this happen??"


"I don't know..last night, maybe. I'm not sure when, he was STILL HERE when I went to sleep!!"


"Well, DON'T PANIC. Look, I'll meet you at HQ so we can make a plan to find him."


"Okay..that sounds good."


"Later."


Kitty turned her communicator off. after a few minutes..she finally broke down in tears, and cried.


"what have i done??..(screaming) WHAT HAVE I DONE!!?"
