And now, on with the show!
Our story opens today as we see Garfield lying down on the countertop.
"Oh Garfield," Jon walked with something behind his back "Guess who mom and dad have brought over for us for a visit?"
"I'd better not be Nermal." Garfield looked at Jon.
"Your favorite niece, Nermal." Jon showed Nermal in his hands.
"My worst nightmare has come true." Garfield rolled his eyes.
"Nermal, you stay with your Uncle Garfield." Jon told the kitten "I'd better get to work on my cartoons."
"You know why I hate Nermal?" Garfield looked at the readers "It's not because she's tiny, cute and young, it's because she reminds me I'm not any of those things. I'm fat, old and ugly."
"Let's play Uncle Garfield." Nermal jumped onto Garfield.
"Okay, let's go get a snack Nermal." Garfield walked to the kitchen.
"Right behind you my favorite uncle." Nermal followed Garfield.
Garfield and Nermal walked into the kitchen and saw a pie on the table.
"Oh boy, a pie." Nermal looked up "I want it Uncle Garfield."
"Okay Nermal," Garfield looked at Nermal "I'll get it."
Garfield stood up on two legs to grab the pie, but couldn't reach it.
He then dropped back on four legs "Nermal, give me a boost."
"Sure Uncle Garfield." Nermal held out her front legs.
Garfield climbed onto Nermal's front paws and was nearly squishing her. Luckily, Garfield grabbed the pie.
After eating the pie (Garfield ate most of it), Nermal and Garfield licked themselves clean.
"Let's go listen to what's on the radio, Uncle Garfield." Nermal smiled at Garfield.
"No Nermal" Garfield lept into his bed "I'm gonna take a nap."
"Please uncle?" Nermal begged.
"No." Garfield pretended to ignore Nermal.
"Please?" Nermal got into Garfield's bed "Please, please, please, please."
"Fine!" Garfield walked to the radio "Follow me."
Garfield used his front paw to turn on the radio and some music played on.
"I love this song." Nermal started dancing on his hind legs.
Garfield looked at his niece "Maybe if I dance, I can become the center of attention like Nermal."
Garfield stood on his hind legs and tried to dance, but one of his bones cracked.
"I think I pulled something." He slowly went back on four legs.
Garfield walked over to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"At least I can get some food from all that dancing." He walked to his bowl.
Garfield saw Nermal over at his bowl full of cat food.
"Hey!" He hissed "That's mine!"
Nermal started eating out of Garfield's bowl.
"Never mind." He walked away "You can have it. I'm not eating anything that you touched."
"Thank you Uncle Garfield." Nermal happily ate the food.
Garfield went back to the couch and lied down.
"If there's one thing I hate more than living with a dog, it's having Nermal as a niece." He curled up. "I need to think of a way to get her out of my fur."
After thinking for a moment, Garfield got an idea. He went over to the door, jumped to the door knob and used his front paws to twist the door.
Nermal walked to Garfield "What's going on Uncle Garfield?"
"Sorry you have to leave so soon Nermal" Garfield smiled at her.
Nermal was confused "But I wasn't..."
Garfield picked up Nermal with his front paw and threw her out of the door. He then used his hind legs to close it.
Garfield looked at the audience "I'm not afraid of her staying her welcome, I just don't want her to break a new one."
Author's Note:
Well, Nermal had just come for another visit and that means that Garfield had to put up with her annoying, cute ways. But hey, that's Garfield, he just hates cute things. Anyways, get ready to meet the last two new residents of US Acres in our next chapter. Stay tuned folks!
