Big Cats AU:
Cheeta!Ruby is overcome by a big case of the Zoomies. Normally this isn't much of an issue as she'd be contained by her enclosure. This time she had managed to get out and go on a stroll before the Zoomies struck her.
Now she zipping to-and-fro, challenging everything and everyone to a race and just expending a metric tonne of energy, chittering and meowing away at a mile-a-second.
Aaaaand she's tired now. Good night.
Love it! Let's go!

Cheetah!Ruby and Tiger!Yang are leisurely walking through the streets of Vale after breaking out of their enclosures to properly stretch their legs. Tourists scream and run in terror. Locals nod at the danger kitties as they pass. Some even give them treats.
Cheetah!Ruby: Thanks for coming with me, Yang. My legs were really starting to cramp up.
Tiger!Yang: No problem, Rubes! Last time you came into the city, you got into the middle of a robbery.
Cheetah!Ruby: Hey! That is so not fa-
Tiger!Yang: ...Ruby?
Cheetah!Ruby: (stopped dead in her tracks and giving off a thousand yard stare)
Tiger!Yang: (waves her massive paw in front of Ruby's face) Helloooooo, Vale to Ruuuuuuby.
Cheetah!Ruby: (starts vibrating)
Tiger!Yang: Oh....
Cheetah!Ruby: (vibrates harder)
Tiger!Yang: Oh, no....
Cheetah!Ruby: (vibrates violently)
Tiger!Yang: Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, don't. No. Remember your breathing. Take deep, calming breaths.
Cheetah!Ruby: (blasts from a complete stand still like a cartoon down the street, leaving behind a smoking, black trail on the pavement in her wake) WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Tiger!Yang: (fur whipped in the direction C!R ran) ......Yeeeaaaahhh, that's not ideal....
Cheetah!Ruby: (sprinting as fast as she can through the streets of Vale) I'M THE WIND!!! I AM SPEED!!! NOTHING CAN CATCH ME!!!! (speeds passed a car) SUCK LESS, CAR!!! GO FASTER!!! (sprints passed a bus) YOU MAY BE NAMED AFTER A FAST DOG, BUT I'M FASTER!!! (runs alongside a train for a surprising chunk of time) COME ON!!! THAT ALL YOU GOT!?!?!?! I CAN STILL BEAT YOU!!! I'LL PASS YOU BEFORE YOU GET TO THE EMERALD-
C!R's Internal Gas Tank: (blows a gasket and fuel gage plummets to E)
Cheetah!Ruby: (pauses mid-air and slams into the ground, sliding across the grass until she finally skids to a halt, completely passed out and snoring) hoooooonk-mememememe.... hooooonk-memememememe.....
Tiger!Yang: (rides up in the bed of Old Man Shopkeep's truck) Well... at least the road rash is minor this time....
