Our fearless she-ro (someone I know HATES that word! tee hee) expands her urban living experience into her work commute. We find her anxiously awaiting part 1 of the 2 bus ride to work. After equipping her "please leave me alone" smile-shield in an effort to defeat the villainous cat-callers, she gingerly steps onto the bus trying to look cool, like she does this all the time. But then her secret identity is quickly uncovered when the bus driver loudly informs her that she is sticking her bus pass in the wrong device reader. DRAT, FOILED AGAIN! Scoping out her fellow commuters, she evaluates future weapons to aide her in her adventures. "Shall I spend all the money I'm going to save by riding the bus, and buy a Kindle to entertain myself? Should I invest in good headphones like the lady whose bright red Princess Leia-worthy musical ear cuffs just scream, "I do NOT want to be bothered with y'all today!". Such advanced weaponry to fight off the commuter fiends! Much to be considered...

Next we find our heroine has safely arrived at the transit center. Part 1 is over. But unfortunately she embarrasses herself further (although she played it off really well) when she walked past the bus hub even though she'd already scoped it out the night before. Donning her, "I meant to do that" deflector hair flip, she turns around and plops on an empty bench realizing her part 2 bus that was to leave at 8:07 had indeed just left at 8:07. DOUBLE DRAT! But wait, what's that in the distance? Huzzah! Our heroine sees arriving over the concrete horizon, the next bus! What luck....our adventure continues.

The rest of the way to work, her resumed incognito "I do this all the time" disguise remains intact. JUST THEN, she exits the bus and walks across the parking lot. Now realizing that the most harrowing leg of her commute is managing to get inside the building, she makes one fatal turn and walks through a cloud of toxic smokers behind the back of the building. COUGH! COUGH! Has her journey ended after she's come so far?! COUGH! COUGH! Will the Pottery Barn doors open in time for her to escape the fumes?? Has everything come to an end??? Oh no!
Tune in tomorrow to find out if our heroine actually made it to work! And what happens to her when she DUN DUN DUN tries to take the bus back home again! ... DUN DUN!
