Kitty was putting up the last of the decorations for the party. It was Dudley's birthday and she decided to throw him a surprise party in exchange for the best birthday she ever had last year. Hopefully it would go better than her party the first time. She also hoped to get some time alone with Dudley to tell her how she truly felt about him. They had been through a lot but she really liked him. She was deep in thought when Keswick came in and scared the living daylights out of her.

"Agent Katswell have you finished the last bit of the d-d-d-decorations?" he asked.

"Yea I got to go get Dudley. When I send the signal everyone hide." she replied and was off to get Dudley. While she was driving she got nervous about how she was going to break the news to Dudley that she really liked him, what if he just laughed at her and told her it was never going to happen? She wouldn't blame him. There were two reasons why it would be strange for them to be together.

She was a cat, he was a dog, that usually doesn't mix

They had just been friends and partners for a long time and it would be strange for her to suddenly drop the bomb now

She just decided that she would suck it up and tell him anyway. When she got to Dudley's house the first thing she heard was crying. Not normal crying, bawling. She listened for a second and she heard a voice she knew was Dudley's mom's.

"Oh, come on Dudley, it's not that bad."

Kitty was about ready to knock on the door when it slammed right in her face. Dudley ran outside crying. Kitty pushed the door off her face, feeling like she had a concussion but she ignored it and ran after Dudley who was crying as if he broke every bone in his body, his mom died and he lost all his chew toys all on the same day.

"Dudley what's wrong?" Kitty asked feeling worried. Dudley was reluctant to tell her at first but finally between sobs, he got out the words, "I'm moving."

Kitty nearly fainted. Could it possibly be that her partner was moving away? "Where?" she asked. Dudley barely got out the words "Puppy Town." Kitty was shocked and felt like she was going to die. Puppy Town was practically 2000 miles away!

"How are you going to keep your job at T.U.F.F.? she asked. Dudley didn't say anything. He didn't have to. The look on his face said it all. He wasn't.

Kitty didn't say anything either. But inside she was thinking too many things. She was thinking that she was going to lose the best partner she ever had and possibly never see him again. She was thinking that she was going to die; she was wondering who would be her new partner, she was thinking she didn't want a new partner, she was wondering how she would fight crime and she wanted to just grab Dudley and run. But she just stood there, thinking that she and Dudley (if he even liked her) would never be together.

When they got back to T.U.F.F. (Kitty had already called Keswick and told him) they threw a goodbye party instead of a birthday party.

When no one was looking Kitty went into her office and looked for the goodbye notes everyone had written for Dudley. She suddenly came across a letter she was planning to throw out where she had written her feelings for Dudley. She put it down and started to cry.

After a while she helped Dudley pack up his office. She was dying to scream to Dudley that she liked him, maybe even loved him. But she kept her mouth shut. When Dudley wasn't looking she slipped the goodbye notes into Dudley's things.

The next day Kitty came to the train station to tell Dudley goodbye. They were both about to burst into tears. After a lot of goodbyes and what seemed like forever Dudley left.

Later that day back at T.U.F.F. Kitty was trying as hard as she could not to cry. She wished she could only see Dudley one last time to tell him how she felt.

Eventually she went to throw away the letter she had written Dudley. But then something happened. When she found the letter she realized it wasn't the letter at all. It was the goodbye notes for Dudley. Kitty nearly fainted. She had given him the letter! What was going to happen?

Actually at that same second Kitty found out she gave Dudley the letter, over in Puppy Town, Dudley found it.

What will Dudley think?
