Garfield: You've got us confused. I'm real and you're in a story!
Our story opens up in Jon's bedroom where we see him in his underwear?
"Hey Garfield," Jon looked at himself in the mirror "Guess what?"
"You finally got a spine?" Garfield looked at Jon.
"Did you know that muscles earn respect?" Jon told him while flexing. "Did you know that chicks go crazy over girls who have muscles?"
Garfield stood on his hind legs and started flexing and he had huge muscles. Jon gasped at the very sight of Garfield's muscles.
"Did you know you can flex muscles?" Garfield looked at the readers.
Jon went downstairs to the kitchen to have a cup of joe with Lyman.
"I don't believe it, Lyman" he said "Garfield has more muscle than me and he's a walking earthquake."
"Maybe we should start working out?" suggested Lyman. "Maybe we'll get some muscles."
"That's actually not a bad idea, Lyman" said Jon "We all can work out."
"Hear that Odie?" Lyman pet Odie "We're gonna get big and strong!"
"Ruff!" Odie barked.
Jon and Lyman went to the sports store and bought some exrercise stuff; dumbells, flexing stuff and other exercise stuff that I can't name. The very next day, Jon, Lyman and Odie were gonna take a morning jog.
"Morning Jon" said Lyman.
"Morning Lyman" Jon said back.
"Ready for our morning jog?" Lyman asked.
"Yep" said Jon "Be right with you!"
Jon went upstairs and saw Garfield sleeping in his bed.
"GARFIEEEEELLLLD!" he shouted and kept patting his head "Rise and shine buddy! Time to go jogging!"
Garfield hissed and showed Jon his razor sharp claws. A few minutes later, Jon came back downstairs all scratched and messed up.
"Where's Garfield?" Lyman asked Jon.
"I think I'll let him sleep in" Jon said in a dizzy manner.
Lyman and Odie went outside and started jogging all around the cul-de-sac, Jon however, couldn't keep with all those scratches Garfield gave him. After making a jog to the pharmacy for some adhesive medical strips and Neosporin.
After recovering, he was ready to lift up some weights. Garfield was watching him to see how this would out.
"This is it little buddy!" Jon bent down to lift the weight "Time for me to start weight training and take my step into hunkhood."
Jon kept trying to lift up the weight with both of his hands, but he had no success whatsoever. Finally, he lifted it up.
"HYAH!" Jon lifted up the weight, which was a weight only 13 inches long. "One."
"My hero" Garfield rolled his eyes.
After a few hours of working out (or least attempting to get fit), Jon came back to Garfield to lecture him once again.
"You know Garfield, exercise really pays" he began his lecture.
"Not enough" Garfield thought.
"Wanna know what I got from lifting weights?" he asked.
"A herina?" Garfield thought.
"Rippling biceps!" Jon showed his new "muscles".
"That reminds me," Garfield looked at Jon flexing "Are you making spaghetti?"
Jon kept trying to flex his "muscles" really hard more times, but ketp failing. Garfield got annoyed (as usual) and flexed his tail, which had a large muscle.
"Very funny!" Jon shouted.
A couple of days later, Jon came back with once again, another lecture for Garfield.
"Weight lifting has really helped me Garfield," Jon told him "Just look at all this muscle."
Jon showed his arm and flexed his muscle at Garfield.
Garfield was shocked "Oooh. Let me feel."
He pinched the muscle which instantly fell the moment it was touched.
Jon gasped "You killed it!"
"It was sick anyways" Garfield looked at the muscle.
Author's Note:
