Royal Mutt and Panda Bear (Chapter One: Time)

Royal Mutt sat in the car waiting. He looked at his car clock, it was 6:58 in the morning give or take 3 minutes. Panda Bear came out of his house with a small duffel bag and bamboo plant in hand. "Hey, sorry 'bout the wait," Panda Bear said as he got in through the passenger side door and put his stuff in the back.

Royal Mutt: It's cool.


Royal Mutt checked to see if any cars were coming on his left side, then he made a U-Turn and a left out onto the main road. In a matter of minutes they were on the 5 North.

RM: So we got a lot of free time, what we going to do?

Panda Bear: Time has always been free man.


RM: What do you mean?

PB: Well, I mean time is what we make of it right?

RM: Right.

PB: But before we make time anything, it's free.

Royal Mutt looked to the left, the small valleys of Southern California were getting their breakfast of morning sun. These indentions in the earth tucked away on the side of the highway were to him small beds of flora and fauna just waiting for their chance to explode onto the next evolutionary stage.

RM: (ruminating on what Panda Bear said) Hmm, never really thought about it that way.

The two continued north.
