They arrived at the destroyed truck where the other cats were giving Mudbud evil looks.

"Is THAT our lunch? It's filthy!" whispered a Siamese cat.

An older Himalayan cat, Drest, came in front of them. "Phoenix you know better than to bring intruders here" he scolded.

"Sorry, sir, it's just well...this pup is very sick and I figured it was only right that we help this lost one" apologised the tiger cat.

"He does look rather poorly, very well, take him to the truck with the others while we prepare some medicine" allowed Drest.

She led him to another truck which was stuck in a pond. The other Buddies were trapped in the front seat of the truck.

"I've always wondered if i could drive" said Budderball.

"Mudbud thank goodness your ok!" exclaimed Rosebud. "Your looking even more sick".

"It was wrong of us to enter the woods and even more foolish to bring you with us in this state" admitted Buddha.

"Dawg's these cats are gonna s-sacrifice us just like in that movie!" panicked B-dawg.

"Chill dude, these cats don't seem that bad; that female one said she was gonna give me something to make me better" said Mudbud.

"Mudbud's correct, B-dawg, try to calm down" agreed Buddha.

"I hope they give us some food" wished Budderball.

"Shh! I can hear them talking" hissed Rosebud.

A tom and black cat were talking outside the truck.

"What about the grown dogs?" asked the tom cat.

"They fled" replied the black cat. "What did Abzak say about the pup's?"

"He said..." whispered the tom, saying something that made them both laugh.


After a while, the cat's bought the puppies towards the middle of their camp. Their leader, Abzak the cat they saw earlier standing on top of the truck, came down to see them.

"Greetings I am Abzak leader of the cats of Oakfield and rightful ruler of the alley's of that town" he introduced. The Buddies nervously looked at his scars.

"Hi my names Rosebud" greeted the female puppy, who was more braver than her brother's.

"My names Budderball and this is Buddha, Mudbud and B-dawg" added Budderball.

"What brings you here?" asked the cat leader.

"W-we were just exploring this new area of the woods we had no intention of disrupting your bonfire" apologised Buddha.

"Bonfire? No no no, you see we use the fire to create medicine for us and the other stray's who ask us for help. You see we have been living in these woods for years and so we have been made to create our own means of survival" explained Abzak. "I'm sorry this must be the most unusual thing you small pup's have ever seen".

"Nah we've seen much more unusual things" replied Rosebud.

"It is raining and late, you will not be safe with the wolves out at this time would you like to stay the night here?" offered Abzak.

The tired Buddies agreed and were taken to a tree which had lots of food in a hammock attached to it. Other cats were there to and they didn't seem to happy about having to share their food with dogs. But after Abzak talked to them they all welcomed the puppies.

Abzak went over to the black cat, Gust, and the Himalayan cat, Drest.

"Hmm, maybe Abcat will appreciate dogs keep an eye on them and meet the other leaders in the truck in an hour for a meeting" he ordered.

Budderball began eating the fruit. He didn't like being so high up but he was so hungry he didn't care. "Do you guys have any burgers?" he greedily asked.

"Wow you eat a lot!" exclaimed one cat.

B-dawg was keeping his distance. "What's wrong B-dawg, not hungry?" asked Buddha.

"Yo, did you dawg's forget what Lark told us" stammered B-dawg who still had a bad feeling about these cat's.

"Try to relax, B-dawg, this is a good opportunity to get along with other animals, besides this high tree looks like an excellent place to meditate and be one with nature" advised the Zen pup. Buddha went to one of the top branches and began meditating. Other cats came over to him, intrigued by what he was doing and some even joined him.

One black cat, Midnight, and a slightly lighter cat, Luna, noticed B-dawg keeping his distance and decided to go over to him, as Abzak told them to make the puppies feel welcome.

"Not hungry?" asked Midnight, making B-dawg jump.

"Nah I'm not hungry" he lied. "No offense. I'm sure it tastes nice".

"So...do you like dancing?" she asked.

"Fo'shizzle I'm the best!" boasted B-dawg.

"Would you like to prove it?" Midnight challenged. Luna went over to the destroyed truck and inserted "Years" by Dex Arson into the music player.

"I recognize this tune from a game" realised B-dawg, before he showed of his dance moves to his new "audience" who cheered him on.

Rosebud was telling a group of young cat's about their adventures in Snow and Space buddies. Mudbud spotted an area with a lot of mud and begam rolling in it, trying to ignore his ill feeling. After shaking it all off, Gust came down to him. "So you just wandered in here, willingly, into these woods?" he asked suspiciously.

"Well.. we um..you see" mumbled Mudbud. Phoenix then came over to them.

"Leave him alone Gust, trust me if they were up to something I would've known" she told him. Gust walked away to listen to Rosebud's story.

"Please continue, I did not mean to disturb" he told her.

"So what's your name?" asked Phoenix.

"I'm Mudbud" he answered.

"Hmm I can see why they would call you that" she smirked. "My name's Phoenix, and I can see your still ill. Here, Drest made this medicine for you". She pushed a small wooden bowl with some medicine suitable for animals in. Mudbud slowly drank it. Phoenix looked at him closely.

"Er..what are you doing? " he asked.

"Just seeing if you really are a spy for Oakfield" she replied.

"So what are you dudes and dudettes doing out here?"

"Were waiting for our leader, Abcat, to return to guide us home. We use this medicine to protect ourselves and other strays from diseases, you don't get vets out here. They work to because those cat's are allowed to return home. Once we help enough cats Abcat will return and end these feuds" explained the female cat.

"Wow-za's that sounds like a totally epic movie idea!" exclaimed Mudbud. "But do you ever watch these rituals?"

"No no I'm to young only our elders can watch them" said Phoenix. "Well, nice talking to you". She ran of to join her friends.


The Buddies regrouped near the outside of the camp.

"These cats are like amazing friends!" cried Rosebud. "Look Luna gave me this flower bow, she's an awesome cat"

"They understood and respected our doggie characteristics" added Buddha.

"The food is delicious!" drooled Budderball.

"I-I'm not so sure about this I think we should leave" said a worried B-dawg.

"Dude, remember the wolves and besides these cats aren't bad, they were driven out of their home by other cats" explained Mudbud.

"That's horrible!" cried Rosebud.

Just then Blaze and the others jumped out from the trees.

"Have no fear Blaze is here" he announced.

"Come on cat's I'll take you all on!" challenged Lark.

"Er I said only do that if you see them their clearly not here so don't alert them to us you fool!" scolded Blaze.

"Guys your just in time the food's almost finished" said Budderball.

"You idiot's were all food!" shouted Syndero.

"Syndero be nice" glared Spot.

"Oh sorry. Please you fools we must go as we are all food" Syndero corrected himself. His new reply wasn't any better though.

"Chillax dudes these cats are nice their not murderers" said Mudbud. The Buddies explained everything the cats had told them.

After Syndero said "Let me get this straight, if they help enough cats with this medicine, randomly and magically out pops their crazy, dead leader. Also they just send the cats they 'cure' home?"

"That's the most insane, stupid and nonsensical thing I've ever heard!" laughed Lark.

"No really, look they gave me this bow" Rosebud showed off.

"I have never seen a more ridiculous looking item on top of anyone's head ever" retorted Lark.

"We've found a path that seems right quickly we must go" said Spot. "Your folks are probably worried sick".

"We have?" asked Syndero.

"I have anyway but don't worry you wont get lost following the fearless Blaze" boasted the Labrador.

"Everyone run for your lives. Yeah so fearless" mocked the English Mastiff, repeating what Blaze screamed earlier.

"Ok let us say goodbye to the cats first" decided Rosebud.

"Talk? Talk to a cat?" questioned Syndero. "You complete weirdo's. Fine, go talk oh and when you get eaten, remember to vouch for us".

Abzak said the Buddies were allowed to visit them again but only if they kept it a secret.
