Kipo knew two things about being part Mega Mute:
One: She looked cool as hell in all of her forms (Though she had a soft spot for her half mega form)
And Two: She definitely can get The Zoomies.
Which brought to her current situation, where she felt like she was about to explode if she didn’t move or run or just do SOMETHING!
Unfortunately, the Timber Cats were talking about the Dos and Don’ts regarding hairballs, (and yes, they had a whole chapter called “NOT ON FLAPJACKS!”) and other parts about “How To Cat” ever since she gained full control of her Mega Jaguar Form, but Kipo wasn’t really listening, more focused on not letting her tail thump too loudly and interrupt the Timber Cats.
“-po, KIPO! Whoa, you spaced out hard there. You good?” Molly said, waving one of her paws in front of the energized pink girl.
“WAH! Oh, uh yeah! It’s just that this is SO BORING… No offense, it’s just that I’m feeling super energized, like if I don’t run around like crazy to burn off some energy I’ll EXPLODE!” Kipo said, arms now slightly covered in fur with said fur raised as high as it could to prove her point.
Molly looked thoughtful for a moment, before Yumyan burst into the room yelling “IS THE LITTLE KIT EXPERIENCING ZOOMIES FOR THE FIRST TIME!?!”
“Yes Yumyan, I think she may be experiencing her first case of Zoomies, was hoping I’d have more time before having to explain that but I guess it makes sense that she’s having it now.” Molly said, motioning for Kipo to follow her.
Once they were outside Molly finally explained what was happening. “So, because of how little you’ve been doing, well, anything really, outside. Your body has been holding onto all that extra energy and is now looking for an out for all that extra energy. That’s what you’re feeling, Zoomies is what we call them. Soo, go wild.” Molly gestured to the Timbercats forest, “Normally we’d restrict you to one area, but as long as you don’t break too much stuff, you can go wherever you want in the forest. I’d recommend not going full Mega since you apparently don’t know what holding back means in that form.”
By that point Kipo was barely hearing the cat, vibrating too hard to focus on her. She called in her jaguar paws, all four of them, tail, eyes and ears and took off to the skies.
She felt herself hitting the side of a tree, but she couldn’t process it as she immediately bounced off towards another part of the forest, she barely processed where she went, just letting her instincts take over until she felt a sharp tug on the back of her shirt.
Turning around, she found an angry Wolf staring at her while holding Kipo from the back of her shirt with her spider fang grappling hook that had taken the place of “Stalky”, the deathstalker staff, since their run in with Dr Emelia.. “Do I even want to know what you’re doing?”
Whatever Kipo said was far too incomprehensible as her energy levels were too high for her to slow down even a tiny bit. Even to just talk. “sorrywolfIwasjustgoingaroundandtryingtoworkoffsomeextraenergydoingthis!”
“What?”
“KTHANKSBYE!” Kipo said, dislodging herself from Wolf’s staff before flying off deeper into the forest.
“... I didn’t even understand a single word she said, but I think it wouldn’t have helped anyway.” Wolf said, deciding to head back into the hut she had just left, not even halfway ready to deal with whatever the hell Kipo was having at that moment.
The pink ball of energy continued its rampage around the forest, only stopping when she had to catch her breath, before continuing her race against no one but herself.
When Kipo finally started to feel her extra energy start to run out, she made her way back to Molly, who was still waiting where Kipo began.
“Got that out of your system kid?” Kipo only managed to weakly nod, her energy at a very low point after running so hard for so long. “You still up for those lessons or do you want to go take a nap?” Kipo made a gesture of the number two, saying she preferred the nap over more lessons.
Molly chuckled at Kipo’s burnt out state before with one swoop of her arm she scooped up the jaguar kit in one massive arm. Kipo couldn’t hold in a soft “weh” beep as she was lifted over Molly’s shoulder.
Molly marched through the treehouse until they got into a small sunbathing spot for catnaps and a small dark spot for regular naps. Kipo’s locked on one of the sunbathing spots before she let out a soft beep of interest. Molly chuckled at Kipo’s emerging cat instincts as she placed the girl in one of the sunny spots. Kipo flopped down like a wet sack of flour before curling herself into a comfortable “Shrimp Pose” before letting herself be dragged into dreamland.
If she said “goodnight mom” before she completely fell asleep, neither she or Molly commented on it the next day.
And if Molly answered with a “goodnight Kit” then nobody will ever know.
