3.7 backwards cat

3.7
Circling around the so called Nimlok, they were looking for a possible entrance. Having gone all the way round to the opposite side, The Ball called for Hopigan when he saw a door a long way up the side. Hopigan started bouncing as high as he could and eventually was level with the door. On his next bounce, he stretched out a hand, and knocked on the door, before making his journey back towards the ground, where he managed to stop his bouncing instantly. After about 15 seconds, the door opened and a meercat poked its head out and looked down at the group gathered around the bottom of his spherical hideout. The meercat laughed and said, in a high pitched squeaky voice, “I wondered when you might be here to rescue your Pooey Cakey Woman or whatever she is called. I’ll tell you what, if you can beat me in racing to her over there, on that spiometer, I might think about letting you have her back, but I don’t see that you will be able to beat me”. At this point, Bean Boy gave a subtle look to Bean Cake Kid that suggested that he was going to rescue her.

Feeling sorry for Brian, Mr Mike knelt down towards him and said "But I helped you out, you were stuck in and endless cycle of events that had no real meaning ... ". Brian managed to get up onto his feet and replied back to Mr Mike, "You didn't help us out at all! We were all quite happy doing what we needed to do to keep everyone going. Now you've ruined that and completely ruined the whole system". Mr Mike tried explaining to Brian that what was happening here didn't need to happen and it could not have any effect on anything. He told him that it was just a random load of events all somehow connected in obscure ways. Brian countered this argument with "But we were told we had to keep doing those specific things, otherwise something bad would happen". Mr Mike asked Brian who had told him this, and Brian said "I don’t know, he wouldn't let me or any of the others see him, and some of the sentences he spoke .. didn't really make sense".

Before they had a proper chance to prepare, the meercat had said "The race begins NOW" and jumped on his penny farthing and was off on his way towards Poo Cake Woman. Bean Boy reacted instantly by jumping on the back of Bean Cake Kid's bike and telling him to get a move on. Bean Cake Kid was fast on his bike when not using much energy, but when he was really going for it, traveled exceptionally quickly, therefore had no problem in catching up and overtaking the meercat, even with the added weight of Bean Boy on his bike.
