Page 64

Rambling and apologetic, Rico returns to the diner's owner with his tip jar full of ride home money and offers to pay for the damages. The owner looks the jar over, takes a few of the chips from it, but refuses to take the full amount.

Rico looks down at the jar confused and she pats him on the head. "Maybe it's time you moved on, honey."

The scene shifts to a bit later. Rico hugs the owner, cook, and waitress good-bye and thanks them for helping him get on his feet and for teaching him. They wish him luck and to be safe. Despite being tiny, Rico has proven to be a useful member of the Cosmos. And their diner.

Rico shoulders a shiny new alien duffel bag, looks down the road and then back at the city once more, and finally heads down the road.

Author's Notes:

As with most restaurant jobs, Rico's time in the industry ends quickly and with him hugging monster cat aliens. At least they're kindly ones!
