Our story opens at the Arbuckle house at night where we see Garfield lying down on the couch, all curled up as usual.
"Boy," he stretched "Am I bored."
Yep, Garfield was indeed bored. Normally, Garfield would raid the fridge or do have a nap or try to steal milk from the milkman, but tonight he was all alone. Odie and Lyman were both out for a walk and Jon was too busy working on his cartoons.
"I'm lonely" he leaped off the couch "I think I'll go and see if I can find Arlene."
Garfield went right out of the doggy door and walked to the alley fence to find Arlene. He climbed up and sat down.
"Okay," he sat down "Now, how am I gonna find her?"
Just then, a blue cat with a pink bow came right towards Garfield.
"Hi, there" she waved her front paw at Garfield.
"Um...hi?" Garfield looked at her, bored.
"YOU TWO TIMING SWINE!" someone pointed at Garfield.
"Huh?" Garfield turned around and saw Arlene, hissing at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I'll just leave" the blue cat leaped right off the fence.
"Hello Arlene" Garfield walked over to Arlene, who was glaring at him.
"Don't telepathically speak to me, you two timing swine!" Arlene hissed at him "I saw you with that other woman!"
"Look Arlene, baby cakes," Garfield calmly smiled at her "Do I look like the type of guy who would easily attract women?"
"You're right" Arlene sighed.
"And just what do you mean by that?!" Garfield hissed at Arlene.
"Nothing" Arlene rolled her eyes.
"It's what I thought" He glared.
"So, what do you want to do Garfield?" Arlene looked at Garfield.
Just then, some music was playing from a house down the block.
"Ballroom dance music" Garfield looked at the house "Playing on that record player at the house down the block."
"Dance music?" Arlene beamed "Why don't we dance, Garfield? It would be so romantic."
"Yeah, if you are a biped." Garfield rolled his eyes "But what's stopping us?"
"Then, let's dance." Arlene smiled.
Both Garfield and Arlene stood on their hind legs and started dancing like humans would do in a ballroom.
"You dance like you have two left feet." Arlene kept dancing.
"We do." Garfield dipped her.
"Oh yeah" Arlene rolled her eyes "We're quadrupeds."
Just then, the music stopped and Garfield and Arlene sat down on their four legs.
"Are we ever gonna have a relationship Garfield?" Arlene looked at him.
"Nah" Garfield shook his head "I don't see that happening."
"Why?" Arlene looked at him.
"We're too different" He sighed "You're neat, I'm a slob. You're refined, I'm just a run of the mill guy. You're kind, generous and giving..."
"And you don't wanna share you're food" Arlene looked at him.
"Bingo baby cakes!" Garfield snapped his fingers.
"Well, whatever" Arlene turned around.
Garfield and Arlene turned around and saw the full moon, glowing into the night.
"Look at that moon, Garfield." Arlene stared at the moon.
"Yep." Garfield looked at the moon as well.
"Does that give you any ideas?" Arlene looked seductively at him.
"Sure." Garfield smiled.
Garfield used his hands to make shadow puppets at the moon.
"No Garfield," Arlene put his hands down "What I was thinking of was something like, howling at the moon."
"I see," Garfield smiled "My key or yours Arlene?"
"My key." she cleared her throat.
They both cleared their throats and started to sing.
"RRRROWWWW!" they howled "RRRROWWW RRRROWWW!"
However, the neighbors didn't take so kindly to this.
"Shut up you stupid cats!" shouted an old lady.
All the neighbors started throwing food at both Garfield and Arlene.
"Now this is what an audience feels like" Garfield started eating all the food thrown at him.
"Do you love me more than you love food Garfield?" Arlene watched him eat.
"Do chickens have lips?" He turned around to Arlene.
"No" Arlene rolled her eyes.
"Bingo baby cakes." Garfield went back to eating.
"Now if only I could compete with that belly of his." Arlene looked at the readers.
