(A/N: Look what we have here! A new "T.U.F.F. Puppy" fic in time for New Year's! In fact, this is a "T.U.F.F. Puppy" New Year's fic! You guys are probably anxious to read it, so I'll get it started!)

It was the day after Christmas in the city of Petropolis. The people were kinda sad that Christmas was over, but they knew that after Christmas came the arrival of the new year. And every time New Year's Eve came, there was a huge party, and everyone (except for the villains) would attend. One of the people attending this party was none other than T.U.F.F. agent Kitty Katswell, and I'm thinking we should go check up on her.

At Kitty's apartment, Eric, Jerkbait, and Dudley were in the living room, asking Kitty if she'd like to attend the New Year's Eve party with them.

"Give me some time to think about this." Kitty said. She went to the kitchen for a glass of milk, and to figure out who she wanted to go with. Well, she already knew that there was no way she'd go with Jerkbait, since he was a jerk and would make the party no fun for her.

"So now I'm stuck between Eric and Dudley. Which one should I go with?" Kitty thought as she sipped the milk. Kitty and Eric had been on several dates, but Kitty found that they really hadn't been as enjoyable as she'd hoped. Things were more enjoyable when she was on a mission with her partner, Dudley. Dudley always seemed to liven things up for her.

"That settles it." Kitty said. She finished her glass and went back to the living room, and she said, "Okay, I've made my decision."

"Who's going with ya?!" the anxious group asked.

"I'm going with..." Kitty started.

"Me! I knew you were smart enough to pick me, 'cause I'm the greatest guy you know!" Jerkbait interrupted, grabbing Kitty and trying to force a kiss on her.

"Get off me!" Kitty said, shoving the jerk off of her.

"You didn't pick him, did you?" Eric asked.

"Why would I?" Kitty asked.

"You didn't pick me?" Jerkbait asked.

"No! And even if I did, I would've changed my mind after that stunt you just pulled!" Kitty yelled.

"So who did you pick?" Dudley asked.

"I'm going with you, Dudley!" Kitty said.

"Hi-gee-gee!" Dudley cheered, and he gave Kitty a big hug.

"Sorry, Eric." Kitty said to Eric.

"It's okay. I'm sure I can find someone." Eric said. And he did. Later that day, he went to the bank, and that was where he met Becky. They hit it off pretty fast, and before they knew it, they made plans to go to the New Year's Eve party together!

Meanwhile, Jerkbait went back to his rat-hole, and he was insanely jealous.

"How could she possibly choose the idiot that calls himself her partner?!" Jerkbait asked himself, madder than a hornet. Of course, Jerkbait knew that he screwed up his chances of ever having a relationship with her, but he would never admit that it was his fault, because he thinks he's the greatest guy on the planet.

"She knows I'm the only guy for her! But how am I ever going to make her see it?" Jerkbait wondered aloud, trying to come up with a plan.

"I know! I'll kidnap that mutt and kill him. Then I'll take Kitty to the party, and she'll have such a great time with me, she'll forget all about him! Yes! That'll work great!" Jerkbait said, laughing evilly.

Uh-oh! Now Dudley's life is in danger! What's going to happen next? Stay tuned!
