Timmy's Winterfest special

Winterfest is approaching, but... Well, it doesn't feel like it at all. So I eventually reached that point? I went so close to this scenario so many times before, is it the year when I'll really end up spending the holiday alone?

Well, at least I have Betsy. I mean, it's just a plan, but doesn't it look a bit like a cow? I have to check online, it may be an alien plant species, the proof aliens are really invading us!

Fascinating, this plant seems to want to play with me. May it be some kind of pet to aliens? I definitively have to investigate this... But that's tomorrow's problem.

As for today, instead, I'm better going back to my original plan: selling as much junk as I can. After all those weeks spent cooking and gardening my inventory is becoming a bit too chaotic, getting rid of some of that stuff could surely help me. And I also need to make some money to pay my bills, which is quite urgent too.

I wonder if Betsy is scaring possible customers, no one has shown up for so long... 

"Don't you have anything cute? I have to find a last-minute present for my niece!"

"Where are those red fruits from? They look dangerous!"

"Are you sure you have a licence for this?"

How boring, why don't they just buy something and leave?

And it looks like someone even called the cops to check on Betsy. Why is everyone so scared of it? It's just a (possibly alien) friendly plant!

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Wow, I don't feel very well... What am I doing here? I'm... confused."

"Bad plant! That wasn't nice, the cop lady got mad!"

And all my customers too, everyone ran away shouting for help. Today was totally wasted, in the end I made just a few §§. What Winterfest can I hope to celebrate like this? I won't have enough money for any presents, nor for cooking anything fancy. 

With this bad prospect in mind, I returned back to my trailer. At least sleeping is free, isn't it?

A few hours later, while Timmy is trying to sleep...

"TĦ€ MŐŦH€Ř Į$ ČĂŁŁING, Į MŮ$Ŧ Ř€$PŐNĐ!"

"TĦ€ MŐŦH€Ř Į$ ČĂŁŁ-.... Wait..."

"No way, I was sleepwalking again!"

Sleeping shouldn't be so difficult, why do I always wake up on the opposite side of the neighbourhood? I always waste a lot of time walking back home, how annoying...

"At least my bed is still ther-  Hey, what are you? A cat?"

"Get down, now!"

"Grrrr......"

Getting closer, I couldn't avoid noticing how cute that kitty was. Was it cold outside? I'm actually freezing too after that unplanned walk, the desert at night in winter is surprisingly cold in general. 

"Are you hungry, too?"

"Hihihihi prrrr!"

"Good kitty! You know what? You'll remain here for Winterfest!"

"Cheers, kitty, Merry Winterfest!"

"Prrrrr!"

Thinking about it, this was actually a better company than the one I had last year... Now I'll have to find it a name, and make a bet for it, and... do pets even need doctors? For sure pets are a lot of work, I'll look into that... but that's tomorrow's problem.
