Chapter Thirty Four
3rd Person's Point Of View
"Nick!" Elisa laughed, lunging over Jameson to try and grab his fish from Nick. "Give it back you brat!"
Nick laughed and moved the fish out of Eisa's reach.
"Never Kitty!" Nick teased, dodging Elisa's arm.
"I'm never sitting between you two again!" Jameson shouted, shoving Elisa away from him.
"You're fine Bunny Boy!" Elisa ruffled Jameson's hair and reached across him again.
"Elisa!" Jameson shouted.
"That's it!" Nalla shouted. "Sammi, trade spots with Jameson! Now!" Nalla commanded from the front seat, looking back at the three sitting in the middle.
"God damnit." Sammi cursed as she climbed over the seats, making sure she kicked Elisa in the face in the process. "Give me this." Sammi yanked Elisa's fish from Nick's hands and threw it in the trunk.
Elisa's jaw dropped.
"No." Nalla grumbled as she grabbed Elisa's arm, stopping her from climbing to the trunk to retrieve the fish.
"Sit down Kitty." Nick joked, trying to annoy Elisa.
Elisa put her claws out and hissed at Jimin, her yellow cat eyes shining, scaring the poor dog
"Elisa." Lyla warned, glancing up at the rear view mirror to look at Elisa.
Elisa relaxed.
"We'll get your fish back as soon as we are there." Lyla smiled at Elisa.
Elisa nodded, sticking her tongue out at Nick.
"How much longer?" Ben whined from the back, trying to lay his head on the unwilling bunny.
"About five minutes." Lyla said.
"I'm hot." Peter complained, tugging at his scarf.
"Oh I'm sorry." Lyla apologized and turned on the cold air in the back.
Peter sighed in relaxation.

"Alright, Ben and Sammi, out of the cart." Lyla stopped the cart.
"But why?" Ben complained as Sammi grumbled as she got out.
"Because we need room to put the groceries in." Lyla explained, stretching her arms.
"Fine." Ben got out.
"Thank you." Lyla smiled and continued to push the cart.
"How do you think Nalla is doing with everyone else?" Nick nudged Lyla's shoulder gently.
"I dunno-wait. I thought I had you go with Nalla and Elisa was with me?" Lyla asked in surprise, noticing Elisa wasn't with her.
Nick smiled evilly. "We agreed that if Elisa annoys Nalla today, I'll sneak him five cookies." Nick announced proudly.
"Poor Nalla." Lyla sighed. "I hope she is doing alright."
"She'll be fine." Sammi sighed as she plopped some chips into the cart.
That's when Lyla heard a very familiar squeal and a laugh following it.
"That was definitely Elisa and Jameson." Ben laughed, grabbing some peanut butter.
Lyla bit her lip.
"Sammi do you think you could go find them and send Elisa over to me? I don't think Nalla and Elisa should be together. They'll murder each other." Lyla told the annoyed cat.
Sammi rolled her eyes and placed the cereal in the cart. "Elisa will be here in a little bit if he doesn't get lost." Sammi walked off.
"Thanks Sammi!" Lyla called out.
"Yeah yeah." Sammi grumbled.

"I will rip your tail right off you if you don't shut up Elisa!" Nalla held Elisa by her collar, glaring at the little cat.
Elisa only grinned. "Oh scary." She taunted.
"Alright three year olds, shut up." Sammi strolled over to them, her arms folded behind her head.
Nalla turned to Sammi with a glare.
"Save me." Jameson whispered from the cart.
"Elisa, Lyla wants you." Sammi said with a monotone.
"Peace out losers." Elisa ran away.
"Dumbass didn't even let me tell him where she is." Sammi sighed.
"Nalla, you can calm down now." Peter patted Nalla's shoulder.
"That cat knows how to push my buttons." Nalla's nose flared.
Peter continued to pat Nalla's back until she got annoyed.

"Lyla Evans, please come to the Store Manager's office. Your friend is looking for you." The intercom announced through the store.
The boys and Lyla sighed, knowing it was Elisa. Nick started laughing.
"What dummy!" He giggled as he followed Lyla to the front desk.
"Lyla!" Elisa cried out, running to Lyla with her arms wide.
"Hi Elisa." Lyla hugged Elisa.
She dragged her over to the front desk to talk with the manager
"I'm so sorry about the disruption she may have caused. She doesn't get out much." Lyla offered a nervous smile, trying her best to explain a lie.
"It's quite alright Miss." The manager waved his hand, denying Lyla's apology.
Lyla smiled and dragged Nick and Elisa away from the manager.
Nick started laughing again, leaning on Elisa.
"Nick." Lyla sighed. "Elisa, didn't Sammi tell you where I was?" Lyla asked the distraught cat.
Elisa shook her head. "I ran away before he could."
Nick cracked up again.
Elisa crossed her arms and pouted.
"Hey, I think we have about 30 more minutes left of shopping before we can go shop for clothes." Lyla nudged Elisa with her hip.
Elisa smiled. "I love clothes."
