'That's a wrap, folks!' Flannigan called through his loudspeaker.
'Thanks, sir!' Danny and Sawyer walked off stage. 'Wanna go get some coffee, Sawyer?'
'Hold it, you two!' Flannigan called before they could get to the exit door. 'I just remembered. L.B. Mammoth wanted to see you both in his office'
'Is it something bad?' Sawyer asked.
'Oh no! Not at all' Flannigan said, laughing. 'He just wants to discuss something'
So Danny and Sawyer headed to L.B's office.
Danny knocked on the door. 'Ah, there they are! Come on in!' said L.B.s voice from inside.
They entered to find L.B behind his desk. Pudge was in there too, along with a male camel.
Danny and Sawyer took seats next to each other.
'Ok. We're all here' L.B. said. 'Now let's discuss your work. I've heard you just finished Moulin Rouge, right?'
'Oh yes!' said Danny. 'Pudge and Sawyer enjoyed it too'
'Oh, Danny..' Sawyer blushed.
'Wonderful!' said L.B. 'Now that you've finished, it's time for your vacation'
'Vacation?' They all asked.
'Yes' He gestured to the camel. 'Cameron over here has just finished his part in Total Recall as Benny so-'
'You're not firing us are you?' Sawyer asked with a worried expression. Had Flannigan lied about this not being bad news?
'Woah! No way!' L.B. said in surprise. 'We'd never do that! No no no. I've just been thinking. I know how much you all love your jobs. But you've all skipped 4 vacation times. You've only taken one vacation, Danny'
'That was so I could visit Kokomo. I missed my family' Danny explained.
'We can't help it, sir' Pudge said. 'We just love our jobs so much'
L.B. laughed. 'I know, sonny. But I think now is the time to take a break. All your friends have taken more vacation time then you. So now it's your turn. Take at least a month off and come back all refreshed'
'But what can we do for a month, sir?' said Cameron.
'Anything!' said L.B. with a smile. 'You've all got plenty of money now. Go shopping, sleep in, travel the world'
'Travel the world?' Danny repeated.
'Of course!' said L.B.
Danny thought for a moment.
Cameron spoke. 'I'd actually like to visit my family in Arabia'
'What's it like in Arabia?' Sawyer asked out of nowhere.
Cameron was silent for a second. Then his eyes lit up. 'Why don't you guys come with me? We can spend our vacation time there!'
'Why not?' Danny agreed. 'I've actually always wanted to see Arabia'
Pudge hopped off his chair. 'Me too!'
'How bout you, Sawyer?'
'Hmmmmmm' Sawyer's tail flicked with thought. 'Arabia...Well as long as I'm with Danny, I guess it would be alright'
'Then's its settled!' L.B. exclaimed with excitement. 'We'll organise a private plane to leave this Monday'
Two days later, Danny, Sawyer, Pudge and Cameron had packed, said goodbye to their friends and were all gathered at the airport.
L.B. arrived in a limousine along with Flannigan. Farley Wink, Danny and Sawyer's agent had also arrived.
'Hello my good people' He greeted them in a friendly way. 'I promise you that this will be a great vacation. Nothing better than to cool off from hard work'
'Yeah...I'm still gonna miss this place' Danny smiled a little.
'Cheer up, Danny' said Farley. 'This will be just what the doctor ordered' He patted Danny on the back as he said this.
'Oh and you guys won't be the only ones either' said Flannigan.
'Really?' asked Pudge.
'Who else is coming?' Sawyer said.
'Ah there he is now' said L.B., pointing to a cop car that had just pulled up.
Out of the driver's side emerged a female human cop with blond bangs. And from the passenger's side came another cat, holding two large suitcases. He had orange tufts with black spots on his cheeks, antenna like ears and a striped tail like Tigger.
'Bonkers!' Danny said in surprise. 'You're on vacation too?'
'Yeah' said Bonkers. 'I guess I skipped much vacation time too'
'This should be fun' said Sawyer with a giggle.
Bonkers had also starred in Moulin Rouge. As the evil Duke. Who'd ever thought that a comedian cat could play such a dastardly role?
But Bonkers was nothing like that. He hugged Danny, Pudge and Cameron and placed a light kiss on Sawyer's paw. Sawyer had no problem with that. She had acted alongside Bonkers in Drop Dead Fred and they had to kiss in that movie.
'Well, your plane's ready' said L.B. 'Go and explore Arabia!'
'I'm coming home!' Cameron said excitedly as he ran with his suitcases to the plane. Pudge followed with his own.
'So long, Bonkers. And don't worry about me, ok?' said Miranda, hugging his partner.
'Ok. I'll do my best' Tears had formed in his eyes.
'Go have fun'
Bonkers turned and headed towards the plane.
'Ready guys?' said Pudge to the other two cats.
'Ready as I'll ever be' said Danny.
'I'm with him' said Sawyer. Danny smiled and kissed her.
'Sweethearts! Celebrity darlings!' Flannigan said.
Danny and Sawyer smiled and waved to him and the rest of the humans.
They got in, sat down and after two minutes the plane's engine rumbled to life. It made its way down the runway, turned and finally took off.
Danny watched below as L.B., Flannigan, Farley Wink and Miranda dissapeared from sight.
