The bouncy, dyed-pink hair girl came barreling down the hall towards the kitchen holding a small box. Her dark blue eyes were wide and she was grinning, eager to show the martian whatever it was she was holding in the box. Her very long, uncut hair whipped behind her and her skirt shifted with each step, but came without her white cat backpack she usually only wore for battle. Then, at that moment, the alarm started blaring, causing Bit-Girl to stare at the ceiling in a mix of childlike wonder and eagerness. A job right now? She hadn't stopped running, and she had nearly passed the alien when her heel found its way onto that last bite of chocolate pudding the martian had sadly dropped.

She slipped backwards in slow motion with the grin frozen on her face, her pupils shrinking as she realized that she had just made a terrible mistake. As she fell, the box slowly left her hands and her hand dramatically stretched out to grab it... and then the world went back to normal speed and she landed with a loud 'OOMPH!' as she smacked her head against the linoleum floor, scrunching up her face in pain. The box landed right beside her with the lid jostled slightly off. Poking its tiny head out of the box was an orange tabby kitten with a large pink bow tied around its neck, no doubt from Bit-Girls room. Bit-Girl looked at the kitten and smiled, then smiled up at the martian, giggling as she sat up and rubbed her head. The kitten jumped out of the shoebox, obviously unharmed as it mewed and tried to jump and bat at the floating martians legs.

Funny, because the last mission happened last week, meaning she'd been hiding this kitten in her bedroom for that amount of time.
