Author's Note:

Time for the second chapter in the Garfield series. Get ready to see everyone's favorite fat cat in action once again with three fantastic new tales with all of his friends!

Our story opens today where we see Garfield on Jon's purple chair sleeping. Now, we see Jon and Lyman chatting and having coffee.

"I just don't get it Lyman." Jon sighed.

"What is it Jon?" Lyman asked Jon.

"I just can't get a date." Jon sighed "I've tried for years and yet no girl wants to go out with me. Nobody's desperate enough to date me."

"I know," Lyman said "Why don't you sign up for online dating? They match up desperate guys all the time."

"Great idea buddy." Jon said.

A few minutes later, Lyman and Jon went to Jon's computer and got him into a dating chat room.

"Alright Jon." Lyman said "Here it is! The future of dating! Just type in something about yourself."

"Okay." Jon typed into the computer "My name is Armando. I am very rich and muy macho. Anyone want to chat?"

And in less than an instant, everyone left the chat room.

"Whoa." Both Jon and Lyman said.

"Nobody can empty a chat room like Armando." Garfield looked at Jon.

"Well we'd better get going Lyman." said Jon "Garfield's checkup is today. We got him a new vet."

"Oh yeah." Lyman said "That reminds me. Odie's due for his checkup too. Let's get going."

As soon as Lyman left to get Odie, Jon came to Garfield, who was still lying down.

"We're going to take you for a checkup Garfield!" Jon said "So come on. Your new doctor is waiting for us."

"And Odie's doctor needs to see him as well." Lyman added "Plus, we only have once carrier."

Jon grabbed Garfield and put him in the pet carrier with Odie.

"Oh-no!" Garfield shivered "My Uncle Barney went to the vet once, and he came back as my Aunt Bernice!"

After a few hours, they arrived at the vet's office. They were in the waiting room with Garfield and Odie.

"Mr. Lyman, Dr. Drew is ready to see your dog." said the receptionist.

"Thanks ma'am." Lyman carried Odie to Dr. Drew's office. "Come on Odie."

"Mr. Arbuckle, the doctor will see you in a moment." said the receptionist.

"Thanks." said Jon.

Just then, a beautiful vet with short black hair came to the door and Jon quickly turned around and couldn't believe what he saw.

"Who's next?" She asked.

"I think I just died and went to heaven." Jon gripped Garfield.

"I think I just died." Garfield felt a little pain from the clenching.

Jon and Garfield went into the vet's office. Jon was really lovestruck by the vet's beauty, he had seen some very attractive women before, but not any like her.

"Anyway doc," Jon made a sly look "What's your name?"

"It's Liz." She put a thermometer in Garfield's mouth.

"What a cute name, is it short for Elizabeth?" Jon raised his eyebrows at the vet.

"No." She said "It's short for Lizard."

Jon was left speechless, but Garfield was intrigued.

"Liz must not much for small talk." Garfield smiled.

After the checkup, Jon tried once again to flirt with Liz.

"I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot, doc." Jon chuckled "Garfield gets sick a lot. Don't you Garfield?"

"Ka chew." Garfield fake sneezed. Liz didn't buy it at all and Garfield saw it coming.

"Well Mr. Arbuckle," said Liz "Basically your cat's in good health. But you'd better take care of him."

"Listen to the doctor Jon." Garfield smiled at Jon.

"He's too fat." Liz said.

Garfield jumped onto Jon's head "This woman is a quack man! Cover your ears!"

"I just need to check his legs again." Liz looked at Garfield's legs.

"So tell me Liz," Jon made another sly smile "Haven't we met before? Like at a rice paddy in Hong Kong?"

"Listen buddy!" She pointed to him "I'll be the vet for your cat, but I won't be the woman who falls for your stupid lines! You understand?"

"So long doc." Jon picked up Garfield and left the room.

"That's what I thought." said Liz.

As soon as Garfield and Jon left Liz's office, they met Lyman and Odie in the parking lot.

"So Jon," Lyman said "How's Garfield? And what do you think of his new vet?"

"She's an angel Ly." Jon sighed "She's an angel."

"Casanova Arbuckle." Garfield pointed to Jon. "Desperate and pathetic."
