Episode 1: Curse of the Were-Rats

One night Garfield was asleep having a terrible nightmare that Pooky and he were getting attacked by vicious blood sucking sharp toothed giant RATS! (Man what has the world come to?)

Nightmare would go something like this:

Garfield was in a dark, lonely, deserted and misty alley when he heard vicious growling and people sreaming "NOOOOOO!" in blood-curdling shrieks of terror, like something was attacking them, then he saw what no cat wanted to see ever in all it's nine lives, it's cuddly bear lying on the ground...WITH IT'S HEAD LYING A FOOT AWAY FROM IT'S BODY!

"Pooky!" Garfield shrieked in terror.

Before Garfield could reach his ever so wounded bear, another shape came into view, a rat with big teeth who was as big and FAT as Garfield (amazing) though worst of all IT HAD POLYESTER WADDING ON IT'S TEETH! It lunged at Garfield and hit the ground once it hit his stomach and bounced off.

"You, YOU HURT POOKY! You're gonna pay" Garfield said shaking his fist at the pug-ugly rat.

The rat jumped again and bit Garfield with it's razor sharp teeth, though one thing it was on the neck, Garfield realised in that second that it was a vampire rat!

End nightmare:

Garfield woke up screaming "Pooky NO!" he realised that it was all a nightmare though he had a horrible itch in his neck.

He ran out onto the street, Nermal and Arlene were also there talking to each other.

"Why are you out here did you have nightmares to?" Garfield asked, stumped to why they were out there.

"Yes Arlene and me both had nightmares about giant rats with razor sharp teeth" Nermal said looking more scared then a 4 year old childwatching the boogeyman steal all the birthday cake.

"It's true Garfield, but worst of all they chewed up our cuddly bears yet they're right here safe and sound" Arlene said holding up her cuddly bear.

"Yeah same with me, though the wierd thing is those rats were as big and FAT as me!" Garfield said holding out his arms.

"Hey Garfield what's that on your neck?" Nermal asked pointing to what looked like a vampire bite.

"You've got one just like it Nermal, you to Arlene! Something weird is going on and we've got to get to the bottom of it" Garfield said before he farted.

"We'll just pack it in for the night, if not, I'm still going to bed" Nermal said before he walked off.

"Sounds like a plan goodnight Garfield" Arlene left as well.

"Night-night" Garfield dragged Pooky back to bed.

Nermal started tossing and turning during a horrible nightmare.

Nightmare starting from where it left off:

"OW!" Nermal screamed as the rat opened it's jaws and released his neck "cuddly bear I'll save you!" Nermal yelled running to his headless cuddly bear.

The rat pounced on top of Nermal and started clawing at his back and roaring, Nermal started crying and he covered his head.

End nightmare:

He ran out to the street crying and using his cuddly bear as a tissue, he saw that Garfield and Arlene were there also, he hugged Garfield and cried onto Garfields thick, warm fur.

"It's ok Nermal we were all crying" Arlene tried to comfort Nermal.

"I'm not going back to sleep I bet they'll kill us next!" Garfield said hugging Nermal as he stopped crying.

"I don't wanna die!" Nermal said as he started blubbering again and kept hugging Garfield "We should just go down there and kick their big flea-bitten butts!"

"That is a good idea!" Arlene said.

"Lets make weapons to beat them!" Garfield said.

"My owner has lots of metal and power tools in his shed" Nermal saidwhile he tried to stop crying.

"Cool lets get them and make them into weapons!" Garfield said before he ran off to Nermal's shed.

"Are you sure that you won't wake my owner?" Nermal asked puzzled at how they were even going to find the vampire rats.

"I'm sure this plan is full-proof!" Garfieldreplied forgetting to turn on the light.

Garfield crashed into one of the power-tools and made a loud noise when the power-tool set off a chain reaction.

"GARFIELD!" Arlene yelled "Try not to wake up Nermals owner!"

"Yeah dude, lets get the power tools and metal and lets go" Nermal agreed with Arlene.

Garfield got all the metal and power tools he could carry, they all rushed outside, Garfield ended up having lasagne based weapons, Nermal had brain surgeon weapons and Arlene had make-over based weapons.

"Garfield, how are we going to find the rats?" Nermal asked.

"Well rats always like to hang out in sewers, so I guess we'll find them there" Garfield replied.

They all headed to the sewers and boy it stank like Pooky's breath in the morning, they could hear roaring, growling, snarling and squeaking everywhere.

"I'm scared, they'll kill us!" Nermal yelled.

"Well, well, well! Look what the cat dragged in!" the leader of all the vampire rats said approaching them.

"Vampire rat...kind of...um...YOU!" Nermal yelled pointing at the leader rat.

"You have been cursed by the were-rats, the only way to remove the curse is to remove the bites, and the vampire venom from your neck! Too bad I'm not going to tell you how! HAHAHAHAHA!" the rat choked out.

Some rats ran towards Nermal and he created little cuts on their heads, it seemed to turn them dumbfounded and they all ran into walls, some otherones charged at Arlene, she gave thema very quick and ugly make-over, the rats were scared and ran around, and around, and around in circles it never seemed to stop, all the rats were taken care of, Garfield used his lasagne guns to trap the leader and and he started begging for mercy.

"I'll do anything! Please this smells like two week old lasagne!" the leader rat cried for mercy.

"Ok just one thing...tell us how to remove the curse" Garfield said.

"You have to bite me on the neck! Now let me go" the leader continued.

Garfield, Nermal and Arlene all bit him on the neck and were cured, they went back to bed, all comfy and warm (aww what a happy ending)
