The next day, after breakfast, Furrball and Terry have just finished helping their mother to wash up the dishes. Terry would then go to the gym and Furrball would go to the beach to meet up with his friends. But before they leave, the phone suddenly rings and Mrs. Cat goes to answer it.

"Hello? Yes. This is Mrs. Elizabeth Cat." She pauses for three seconds, then smiles and continues "I've what?" Furrball and Terry look at each other surprised, before Mrs. Cat continues to speak "Why that's wonderful! Thank you!" And with that, she hungs up the phone. Then Furrball and Terry turn their attention back to her.

"Who was on the phone, Mom?" Furrball asks.

"It was the man from the grocery sweepstakes. I've won a free dinner at the McDaniels restaurant tonight."

"Hey, that's really great!" Terry exclaims.

"It sure is. So once you two come home, we will have lunch, take a nap and then we will prepare ourselves to go."

"Alright! Can't wait!" Terry says anxiously. "But at what time is dinner?"

"At 6:00 PM."

"Plenty of time."

Just then, something crosses Furrball's mind. "Mom, you said the dinner you won at McDaniels is free, right?"

Mrs. Cat nods, before replying "Yes, Ryan."

"Well, I was wondering... Can my friends come too?"

"Of course they can."

"Yes!" Furrball is so happy in which he runs up to his Mom and gives her a hug. "Thanks, Mom. You're the best."

Mrs. Cat chuckles before hugging her son back. "You're welcome, honey."

After Furrball lets go of his mom, Terry says "Well, I'm off to the gym. I will be back before lunch. Goodbye, you two." And she walks away.

"See you soon, sis."

"Bye, Terry."

"I have to go too, Mom. I mustn't keep my friends waiting at the beach. I will be home later."

"OK, Ryan. Have fun."

"Thanks." And Furrball leaves the apartment.

Meanwhile, Buster, Babs, Plucky, Hamton, Shirley, Calamity, Little Beeper, Fifi, Cosette, Pepito, Sweetie and Sneezer are at the beach, waiting for Furrball. Before long, Furrball finally arrives.

"Hi, guys." Furrball greets them. "Sorry I am a little late."

"Furrball, there you are." Pepito tells him.

"Like, we've been waiting for 10 minutes or some junk." Shirley says. "What took you this long?"

"Sorry about that, but something came up and Mom, Terry and I were talking about it."

"Is it something bad?" Babs asks worriedly.

Furrball smiles, before replying "No, it's something wonderful!"

Little Beeper holds up a sign that says "What is it?"

"Do tell us." Sneezer adds.

"My Mom has won a free dinner at the McDaniels restaurant tonight!"

Upon hearing that, Furrball's friends smile too. Sweetie says "Why, Furrball. That is unbelievable."

"It sure is."

"And you will go with her and your sister?" Plucky asks.

"That's right, Plucky." Furrball answers back. "But that's not all. Here comes the best part: You guys can come too!"

"What?!" the others exclaim in surprise.

"I asked Mom if I can invite you guys too and she said 'Yes'."

The others yell with joy, jumping up and down. Fifi hugs Furrball and gives him a kiss on his cheek. "Oh Furrball, zank you for inviteeng us."

Furrball chuckles and blushes. "Anything for my friends."

"And it is great to have you as our friend." Calamity says with a grin to which the others nod.

"I must be one of the luckiest cats in the world to have friends like you guys."

"We couldn't agree more." Cosette says.

Just then, Furrball puts his hands on his abdomen and groans, feeling a weird pain. His friends become worried.

"Furrball?" Hamton asks. "Are you OK?"

"I don't know." Furrball answers. "For some reason, my abdomen is hurting."

"You're not sick, are you?" Babs asks him.

"No, I don't think so."

"Wait a minute!" Buster exclaims. "What did you eat for breakfast?"

"Scrambled eggs. Along with orange juice and toast with jelly spread upon it."

"Zat seems normal." Cosette says. "But eef breakfast eesn't makeeng vous sick, zen what ees eet?"

"Maybe you should see a doctor, Furrball?" Little Beeper's sign says.

"Maybe..." Furrball groans. But after a few more seconds, the pain goes away and he heaves a sigh. "It's gone. Just a simple pain."

The others heave a sigh too. "For a minute there, you had us worried." Pepito says.

"Hey, I was worried myself." Furrball replies.

"So anyway, at what time is dinner at McDaniels, Furrball?" Sweetie asks him.

"At 6:00 PM."

"We will all be ready. Again, thanks for inviting us." Calamity says.

"My pleasure! Now come on, let's play some beach volleyball!"

"Alright!" the others yell and go to play.
