A/N: Though Hunter, Kate and Larry's son, is ten years old, two years older than Harry, he is very immature for his age. So Harry could easily manipulate him.

And I revised Mrs. FAUFI's name. it sounds like her name is Faufi. Not Fafi.

Chapter 3: Catnip and Trust Part 2

Larry and Kate are lying in bed together. Larry was reading a restaurant menu, while Kate was reading Raising Your Child. A child psychology book.

Kate put her book down and sighed. "Larry-"

Larry cut her off."Someday, when the kids are out of the house. You and me, we're going to this place." He said eagerly tapping the menu with his paw pad.

"I feel bad about how we handled things with Harry." The lioness said with a guilty tone, "Were we right not to trust him?"

"I think so." Larry said. "I mean, he is almost a teenager. Plus he's really smart for his age. That and he hangs around Sierra a lot."

"Let's at least tell him we still love him and he's a part of our family still." Kate suggested.

"Good idea." Larry agreed and the two lions made their way to Harry's room. "Harry." He said as he flicked on the light switch. They saw a whimpering lump under the covers of the feline bed. After all, Sigfried and Roy would get suspicious of a human bed in a feline house.

"Honey." Kate said to the whimpering lump. "We need to talk about earlier." Larry pulled the covers off.

"Hunter?" Larry asked in shock. "What are you doing in Harry's bed?"

"He said if I didn't pretend to be him he'd hire mafia hit men to kill Santa." Hunter said with a whine.

Larry chuckled as he sat down. "Don't worry buddy, there's no Santa." He patted Hunter's back.

"W-w-what?" Hunter asked in stunned disbelief as he scratched his arm.

They interrogated the ten year old for a while.

"Hunter, I'm not going to ask you again, where is Harry?" Larry asked firmly.

"I don't know." Hunter insisted.

"Come on honey, where did your brother go?" Kate asked kindly as to not upset him further as he had anxiety issues.

"Um." Hunter said, thinking. "Doozledorf (Spelling?), the Powerhouse of Industrial Germany."

"Hunter come on, I helped you with that Geography report." Kate said calmly.

"Okay, so you wanna play hardball." Larry said confidently. He suddenly found a spray bottle next to a rose bush in a pot on Harry's desk. "Oh, what's this?" He asked sarcastically, picking the bottle up. "Oh water! As I recall little kitty cats don't like water." He said hoping his son would catch on."

He did. "I don't know where he is!" Hunter said, panicking a little.

"I've cracked harder nuts than you mister." Larry said as he twirled the bottle like a human would a gun. Then he sprayed himself in the face accidentally. "OH! I'm hit! Oh! Officer down!" He fell backwards onto he floor. Kate shook her head.

"Um." Hunter said, thinking. "Maybe he went to the Rave?"

"The rave?" Kate asked.

"I heard some older kids talking about it."

They enlisted the help of Snack to find this Rave.

"I didn't know there was a Rave scene in our community." Kate said as the lions and gopher walked up to a place that had upbeat techno bursting through the walls and laser lights flooding the sky.

"Oh yeah." Snack said. "They throw down once a month. You see all the craziest kids here." He walked up to a monkey. "Hey man, what's up?" They did a special handshake and the monkey ushered Snack to go ahead. But put up a paw at Kate and Larry. "Its cool Ping Pong, their with me." He pointed to himself. Ping Pong told them to go ahead too. "Oh. And if you need to chill, check out the Morrockin' Room. Happenin'." The gopher left the two lions at the door.

"Harry!"

"Harry!" The lions called as they entered the room of dancing animals.

"Hey baby." An alligator on roller skates chuckled to Kate as he rubbed his belly while dancing.

"Its gonna be tough to find him in this crowd." Kate said as she ignored the alligator flirt.

"Just stay behind me." Larry said as he moved on.

The alligator moved in front of her and threw off his sun glasses. "Oh yeah," He said as he poured oil on himself. "I'm on FIRE." He said in a sexy voice. Kate merely pushed him away and followed her husband.

They called Harry's name again. Then spotted Snack at a DJ's table.

"Hey party people!" Snack called. "What comes before Part B?" He held up a record. "PART A!" He put the record on and started rubbing the disks with his feet.

Larry put a finger on one the disk he was rubbing and he was thrown to the floor by the stopping. The music stopped. As did the dancing.

"Burning up." The alligator said as he rolled backward, rubbing his belly.

"Uh, excuse me." Larry said. "We're looking for our son. Have any of you seen him? He's human, you may have noticed him around the neighborhood lately."

"No." Someone said in the crowd.

"Kid, its okay, we love you." Larry said out to the crowd.

"I love you too Daddy." Came from the crowd. Suddenly a female flamingo attatched herself to Larry. She started sobbing. "I don't wanna live with mom anymore." She sobbed again.

"Uh, okay." Larry said picking her off himself and showing her the speaker.

"I love you speaker!" She continued sobbing.

"Uh, I'm gonna go home now. Heh, sorry to interrupt." He started to leave. "Oh and by the way, if any of you who go to school with my daughter Sierra touch her, I'll rip out your intestines and eat them while you watch."

"Woah." Someone said in disbelief.

"Have fun everybody." As soon as the music was back the party was back. Even Blake and Victoria, the white tigers, where there.

"He's not here let's go." Larry said. But before they could leave a teen white lion flung a ring of sausages around Kate.

"Congratulations. I crown you Miss Most Likely to Make Out With Me."

"Henry Davis?" Kate asked the teen pushing him away. "I'm in a book club with your MOTHER."

Henry gaped. "Abort, abort abort." He backed away doing the robot as they left.

They stayed up until dawn waiting for the human. Even Sierra came back at One from her study session with her friends. "Ugh, this is our fault." Kate said in distress. "He ran away because we didn't trust him." She sighed. "God I'm exhausted. And starving."

"Have one of these." Larry said, plucking one of the sausages from the rope. They both ate a sausage just as Harry walked in the door.

"Harry. Thank god your all right." The lioness said as she hugged the messy haired child. "Where have you been?

"That's right-" Larry started before he was cut off.

"Your father and I are very upset with you." Kate said.

"That's absolutely right and you-"

"You are going to learn a whole new meaning for the word punishment."

"You got that right. When I was-"

"When I was your age I would have NEVER done something like this."

"Kate, let me shout something your taking all the good stuff." Larry complained.

"Where have you been?" Kate asked as she crossed her arms angrily. "And don't say the rave because we where there."

"Why should I tell you? You won't believe me anyway." Harry said walking between the lions toward his room.

"Hold it young man. Your not going anywhere until you tell us where you've been all night." Larry insisted making Harry stop and sigh.

"I was with Grandpa okay?" He said.

"Huh?" Kate asked in confusion.

"Sarmoti?" Larry asked.

"Yeah. You guys where so heinous for not believing me that I needed to talk to someone. I had to find someone who knew where he went after he went to the Watering Hole. By the way, NEVER ask the Snout Brothers for ANYTHING after they've had more than twenty beers." He shuddered. "They tried to use me as a dumb bell after hitting on me. Homophobes my butt." He rubbed where they slapped him repeatedly.

Larry looked shocked at the dumbell and flirting with him comment. "Can we go back to when you where maybe on drugs?"

" I guess I lost track of time cause I woke up in his "girlfriend's." He made quote marks. "Guest room."

"Well this is unacceptable. Your father and I where very very furried about you." Kate said. Then she giggled. "Hey Larry, check it out. I just said "Furried."

Larry chuckled. "'s awesome. Who are you?" He asked dumbly.

They both started giggling madly.

Harry stared at his adoptive parents. "Are you guys okay?" Sierra came into the room.

"What's going on?" She asked the young human.

"Now aren't you glad I didn't say banana?" Larry laughed.

"I don't get it." Kate laughed.

"Me either." Larry laughed some more.

"They just started acting weird all of a sudden." Harry said in confusion..

"Ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba!" Larry semi sang.

"Oh my god. Have you guys lost your minds?" He asked in concern.

"Larry, can I talk to you?" Kate asked, ushering her husband into the other room.

"I feel funny." Kate said.

"Me too. I haven't felt this way since...oh my god it just hit me! There must have been Nip in those sausages!" Larry said suddenly.

Kate gasped. "What are we gonna do?"

"Oh my god it just hit me. There must have been Nip in those sausages!" Larry repeated dumbly. The Nip affecting him harder because he had a whole sausage.

Kate growled in frustration.

There was a loud knock on the door. Sierra answered it.

"You must be Sierra." Mrs. Faufi said as she walked in. "I'm Mrs. Faufi from the Gifted and Talented program. are you ready for your evaluation?" She then saw Harry. "Are you all right dear?" Mrs. Faufi asked the young human she recognized from the previous night. "You just up and left."

"Yes ma'am." Harry said. "I just realized what time it was and that I needed to get home."

"He-hey!" Larry called. "I know you! Copper kettle. Co-opper Kettle!" He stood up like a rocker.
