Naruto & Garfield

Tail 1

A New Member of the Family

All was normal in the house of Arbuckle for Garfield. He woke up, ate, kicked Odie off the table, ate, threw some potted plants off the shelves, ate, chased a mouse and did I mention ate.

Now he was looking at Jon in curiosity.

Jon places a large animal carrying cage on the floor. A cell phone in his other hand.

"Thanks again, Liz." Jon said. "I hope he likes it here."

Jon puts his cell back into his pocket, just as Garfield walks over and sniffs the cage.

A soft snore comes from the cage.

"What's in here?" Garfield asked, walking around the cage. "It's not that dreaded Vet Day... definitely not bath day." He pauses. Eye's widen. He quickly grabs onto Jon's pants leg. "You've finally came to your senses... no more Odie! I'm so happy!"

"Now, now, Garfield." Jon said, shaking the large feline off his leg. "I brought someone I want you to meet."

Jon bends down and covers the cage from view.

Meanwhile, Garfield turns to Odie, who tilts his head.

"Please don't let it be another dog! Please don't let it be another dog!" Garfield continued saying his little mantra. He suddenly goes into a praying stance. Paws together. "Oh god of Lasagna... I know I haven't been praying much... but don't let it be a dog! I'll even go on a diet..." He pauses. "I mean... Odie will go on a diet."

While Garfield was doing his, um... thing. Jon removes the animal from the cage.

Jon stands up and smiles. He walks away to put up the cage for future uses.

Garfield and Odie slowly walk over to the pile of yellow fur.

Odie sniffs it and pokes it with his nose.

The fur moves.

Odie pokes it again.

Then...

A yellow paw slams into his nose, causing Odie to hide behind Garfield. A whine escapes his muzzle.

Jon runs back into the room at hearing the whine.

Only to come to a least expecting sight.

Garfield in a matrix style pose. Leg in the air, ready to kick.

Odie hiding behind the large cat, paws covering his eyes.

And the yellow pile of fur...

Lets out a large yawn. It's sleepy blue eyes turn to Garfield. It takes a paw and rubs it's eyes.

Jon gives a smile to the cute creature.

Said creature is revealed to be a...

Fox!

Garfield lowers his paw, as Jon scratches the back of the Fox's ears.

Said Fox gives a yip.

"Jon, isn't it illegal to have a pet Fox?" Garfield asked. "Has he even had his rabies shot?"

Jon pats the Fox on the head and stands back up.

"I know what your thinking, Garfield!" Jon said, turning to the cat. "It's okay to have a pet fox... as long as he doesn't destroy the neighborhood... has paperwork filled out... has rabies shots... ugh." He shakes his head. "Anyway... meet the new member of the family... Naruto."

Said fox, lifts his head as his name was called.

He stretches as he stands, making him look like a cute little furball.

He sits on his hind legs and lets out another yawn

Garfield walks over to Naruto and sits in front of him and...

Both stare at each other.

Still staring...

Odie moves over and sits next to them. Staring at the both of them at the same time.

When...

Both animals slams their paws onto his head, and...

Go back to staring at each other.

Blasphemy!

Garfield wakes up, only to see another cat bed near him. And a yellow fox, laying on his back snoring. A large bubble comes out of his nose as he breathes in and out.

Garfield shakes his head and walks to his food bowl.

After eating, we find Naruto just waking up. A smell drifts through his nose. Not just any smell, a smelly smell that makes your mouth water. A smell that only gods can create.

Garfield stands in the kitchen, wondering what Jon was cooking. From the looks of it, it looks like noodles. Pasta, maybe? No, couldn't be. Doesn't have the smell of it.

Before he can wonder, a yellow blur speeds by him, causing him to spin.

Now a dizzy Garfield looks at his new housemate, only to see him slurping the noodles. Juice flies everywhere.

Garfield walks over to him and watches him eat in awe.

Before he can say anything, Jon places some Lasagna in front of him. His eye's widen before he digs in.

Now we find Jon and Odie watching in morbid fascination as Naruto and Garfield consume their foods at a pace only seen in myths.

A few seconds later finds Garfield laying on his back with his stomach stuffed, while Naruto pats his stomach with a small belch.

Turning to Naruto, he asks the question that's bugging him.

"What is that stuff?" He asked.

Naruto whips his head around and stares in shock.

"What...?' He said. "You've never had ramen?"

"No..." The plump cat started. "All it is, is noodle's in a bowl of water. How good could that be?" A balloon pops up over his head. On it, is tomato sauce being poured on some cooked noodle's. "Nothing is better than some delicious tomato sauce... poured over some boiled noodles... and add some cheese..." His mouth starts to water, despite the fact he already ate.

"That may be... but tasting the delicious juice after you eat the noodle's are... are... like having a party in your taste buds." Naruto said, mouth also watering.

Garfield turns around and walks away. His tail in the air.

"Lasagna is better." He simply said.

Naruto sits stunned. Mouth open. Tongue hanging out.

A Few seconds pass...

Naruto suddenly points at the retreating cat, eye's turning to stone.

"That's Blasphemy!" He yelled, completely offended.

Meanwhile, Jon watches with a raises eyebrow as his pet fox yips and jumps around, before chasing after Garfield.

"At least I have one normal pet." He said turning to Odie, only to see him chasing after his own tail. "Maybe I should of bought a goldfish..." He pauses as Odie finally catches his tail and bite's it. He lets out a holler. "Yeah... fish are good pets."

Curiosity Killed The Fox!

Naruto walks through the grass in the back yard. His four legs moving stealthy as he follows a creature.

Said creature floats in front of him. It's blue and black wings flap back and forth.

Naruto's tail swishes back and forth. His butt in the air, as he prepares to pounce.

The creature lands on a yellow flower, it's antenna swaying in the breeze like it's mocking him.

Naruto glares, then with a yip. He pounces...

And completely misses the creature and lands face first in the dirt. A lone flower sits on his head.

Naruto grumbles and shakes his head to get rid of the dirt. His eyes watch as the creature flies by. With another angry yip, he chases it.

After a while of chasing it, he stops in front of what seems like a field of flowers. Each different colors.

"I don't remember Jon having this many plants." His eye's widen as some of them move. Slowly all of the flowers begin to move. The creature from before lands in the middle of the flower and... blends in? His eyes become dinner plates as all of the creatures suddenly take to the air. The Butterflies start to charge toward Naruto, and the leader is... the creature from earlier. "Uh-oh..."

And with that said, a chase of epic proportions takes place within Jon's backyard. And where was Garfield at during this, well... fast asleep... and you had to ask!

Another creation from my mind. This story will be written in segments, like the comic strip. I'm also a huge Garfield fan. And I couldn't think of a better title.

I originally wanted Iruka as Naruto's owner, but I've read some stories that usually leads to Yaoi moments.

What do you think? I'm taking ideas on what type of segments I should use.

Who else should appear? Who should Naruto be paired with? And what type of animal should she be?
