Chapter 7

"So…while we're walking, how about you tell us about some of your Hyper Force adventures, Muffin Top?" Tiger said as they walked across a fence.

"Well, where should I start?" Gibson asked.

"Anything you think we might like?" Fur Ball suggested.

"Well, there was this one time we were on this planet called Kathori. It was inhabited by felines who were threatened by these huge insect creatures called Mantadons."

"We catch bugs all the time here. They're fun prey to catch." Tiger exclaimed.

"Ew, I despise bugs."

"You've never eaten a bug before?"

"Well…yes, I have. But it's not something I like to…"

"How can you not like bugs! You ate one for meow's sake! What kind of bug was it? Did it fly? Was it fast? How did it taste?"

"EW!"

"Tiger, Gibson, hush!" Frost said. "You both can go catch some bugs for lunch later."

"Oh, you're having bugs? Catch me one!" Fur Ball smiled.

Gibson made a sour face and shot a glare at Tiger, who just chuckled.

"Alright. Up here!" Frost jumped on top of a garbage can and then over a gate. The other three followed suit and they dashed through someone's yard. Then they hopped out and continued down another alleyway.

"Phew. We made it past the hardest part." Frost said. "The rest of the way should be a walk in the park."

"I'd say that was pretty easy." Fur Ball said.

"Yes, but that's because nobody was home. Normally there are always kids playing in the backyard."

"Pff…I doubt those kids are that scary."

"I agree Tiger. But kids are rough on us cats."

The felines continued down the alleyway. Frost looked back and forth.

"The coast is clear. RUN!" They all dashed across the street and leaped onto a dumpster.

"WHOO! No kids! No cars! Not even any dogs!" Tiger jumped for joy. "Easiest escort ever!"

"Y-Yeah, no dogs! But there is a dog catcher!" Fur Ball cried out. Everyone turned to see a man in a forest green uniform. He had a big net and a camouflage hat on. Another man walked out from behind him.

"More like a couple cat catchers! RUN!" Frost yowled. The four felines ran away in different directions. Each one jumped and tried to hide, but the two men were watching their every move.

Tiger growled and jumped on one, trying to scratch him and scare him off. The man just shook the cat off and swooped him into the net.

"You guys go on without me!" The cat yelled. "I'll be fine!"

"You heard him! RUN!" Fur Ball exclaimed. They jumped over a nearby fence and made a sprint for any place they could hide, but the two guys threw a large net at them. Gibson and Fur Ball ended up stuck underneath. Frost turned around.

"AH!" She tried to claw them outside of the net, but then the dog catcher grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and tossed the two boys into a truck.

"So, little lady, it looks like you're without your collar again." He said to Frost and then put her into the vehicle.

Gibson and Fur Ball stared across the room. They were both put in a cage to share. They looked at Frost and Tiger, who were sharing a cage in front of them.

"We're doomed!" Fur Ball pulled Gibson into a hug. "We're gonna be separated! Adopted by some humans! Or worse! We'll be put down!" He began to bawl.

"Fur Ball!" Gibson gagged. "You're about to put me down! I can't breathe!"

"It's okay, Fur Ball! Don't cry! We'll get out of this." Frost said.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Alright darling. Go find your kitty and then we'll go back home."

"Okay daddy!"

Frost went wide eyed.

"Oh no…it's her! Hide! Get in the corners and close your eyes! The shadows will hide us!" She exclaimed and went into the corner. Tiger and Fur Ball followed suit. Gibson sat in the corner but kept an eye open to see the threat. A little girl with orange curly hair came into the room. She had on a yellow dress.

"Oh Sugar Snowflake McSparkles!" She said. "Come out! It's me! Mama's here!"

The dog catcher walked in.

"She's in this cage." He said and opened the door to Frost and Tiger. Frost hissed as the girl squealed and jumped up and down.

"Oh Sugar Snowflake McSparkles! I missed you so much!" She grabbed Frost and gave her a tight hug. The cat tried to break free from the death grip but failed.

"Alright darling. Let's take Sugar back home." A skinny man with curly black hair wearing a suit came in.

"Wait!" The girl replied. "Sugar Snowflake McSparkles is lonely! We should get her a friend! Please daddy?"

"Alright. Get Sugar a friend. Anything for you, princess." The man said.

"YAY!" The girl turned around and faced the cage holding Fur Ball and Gibson. She grew the widest smile and went up to the cage. "That one!"

"Which one? The fluffy one?"

"No, he smells like feet. I want the blue one."

Fur Ball pouted and Gibson backed up. But the dad grabbed Gibson and handed him to the little girl.

"Hmm…what should I name him?" The girl said. "I KNOW! Muffin Top!"

Why must the world be so cruel?

"Sugar Snowflake McSparkles, meet Muffin Top. Your new friend!"

After filling out the adoption papers, the girl and her father hopped into a white limo and they drove off. Gibson and Frost sat in the back. The white cat curled into a ball and whimpered.

"What's wrong?" Gibson asked.

"Get ready to go into the world of nightmares." Frost replied. "This girl is the most spoiled brat on Shuggazoom. She lives with her rich father and with her mom and baby sister in a private mansion separate from the city. And trust me…she loves cats, but cats don't love her."

The blue cat looked out of the cage and saw they had pulled up to the large white building. The girl came and grabbed the cage and pulled them into the house. It was fancy with a beautiful red carpet on the white marble floor. It had many paintings and vases and fancy glass chandeliers on the ceiling. The girl took them up a flight of stairs, bouncing the cage around with each step, shaking up the two felines, and then dropped the cage down in a different room. It had cream colored walls, a pink carpet, a bed with matching pink sheets and comforters and a bed curtain, a large pink toy box, a white dresser, a light blue play table with little blue stools, a cream colored shelf holding dozens of books, and stuffed animals and dolls everywhere. The door of the carrier opened and the two cats tumbled out.

"It's PLAY TIME!" The girl exclaimed.

OH NO! It looks like our two feline friends have been taken by a little girl! What will happen to Tiger and Fur Ball? How will Frost and Gibson survive? Will Gibson ever get a better nickname than Muffin Top? Will I stop asking pointless questions? Leave a REVIEW and find out in the next chapter! Please? :3
