the bus ride and the hardware store

The bus driver doesn't raise any fuss as you pay for both your and Molly's fare with a tap of you phone. In fact, the bus is rather spacious and the standing area gives plenty of room for Molly's huge bee-butt as she hangs onto your arm while you hold onto a pole.

Even though it isn't the driver, it is a group of rowdy teens in the back. "Look at that perv, cuddling that freak show. He must really be an ass man to love a butt like that. Gross!"

"Ignore them. They don't deserve the pleasure of our company." You say.

"Hey you three." The bus driver intervenes, "Monster girls are welcome on my bus. You don't have to like monster girls, but as long as you're riding, you'll keep it to yourselves or get off my bus. They can even ride alone, but she's obviously both with her sponsor and much more well behaved than the likes of you."

The kids simmer down and mutter the word "Freak" before going quiet under the threat of being ejected from the bus. Thankfully, the rest of the ride goes without incident and you exit the bus at the hardware store.

"Sorry about those jerks. You'll always be beautiful to me." Your say as you cup her face and run a thumb over her smooth cheek. "Come on, these flowers will cheer you up." You say as you lead Molly over to the outdoor gardening section of the store. Beautiful flowers of all shapes and sizes already in pots line the rows.

Molly perks up and buzzes over to the flowers, sticking her face into nearly each one. "Mmmm! So fragrant! All these are great choicez!" Molly buzzes and flies one to each flower, visiting them in kind. She really looks like a bee like this, and you can't help but smile at the scene.

You give Molly some time to herself to look and smell all the flowers while you look at a couple planters. There's really only two viable options with you and your backpack, a smaller rectangle that'll hold around three flowers, or a longer one which will stick further out of your backpack and will hold four. You are mindful to keep an eye on your busy bee girl from time to time as she excitedly visits flowers.
