So while Fievel and his group were busy parading through the upbeat and lively town and likely about to make a huge mess of things,the saloon was perhaps the most boring and lifeless part of the town which is usually highly unexpected from a town like this. On the surface it was your typical saloon with a small bar for potential nonstop binge drinking,a few tables spread out throughout the building for people to sit at and get a view of the stage,a windup piano with a man playing some very boring and dull sounding synthesized music,a couple small bedrooms upstairs for people to stay at for the night or even a week in Jon,Garfield and Odie's case,and last but not least a trio of very old showgirls performing a song and dance up on the stage.
Garfield and Odie were sitting over at a small nearby table for two while Jon was busy talking to the bartender and trying to get them into their room,Garfield was busy living down his boredom by chugging down mug after mug of root beer,heck it was getting to the point where he was creating a stack of empty mugs that was gonna hit the ceiling sometime soon. Odie however was just accompanying Garfield and didn't get anything to eat or drink for himself as he only constantly smirked at the cat,Garfield soon noticed this and remarked in his thoughts "Odie don't look at me like that,you'll give me nightmares." only for Odie to merely quietly bark and go back to staring at him.
"I do not understand this madam,I'm literally offering to pay you for our stay now instead of at the end of it,and you're still not letting me check in. Why?" Jon asked the bartender/bar owner as he was quite frankly being denied their room at the last minute to which she regretfully replied "I'm sorry Mr Arbuckle,but we only have one room available left and those fellas over there already called it."
"What fellas?" Jon asked since he didn't know who she was talking about to which she pointed over behind him to a bigger table where none other than Snoopy,Spike,Andy,Woodstock,Lucy,Patty,and Marcie were sitting with some drinks.
Jon was mortified at the idea that he was promptly denied his hotel room because of a group of kids and their pets as he stammered out of disbelief "Them? But-but-but they're only kids?" to which the bar owner replied "Sorry,but more people in there means more money per person which means more pay for me. That's business for you." Jon was left absolutely speechless as his jaw was now hanging out wide open to which the bar owner sighed and replied before she went back to tending the bar "Hey if you can work something out with them,okay. But if they're staying here,you're out of a room."
Speaking of the group of kids,they had all tried their absolute hardest to find someone who could possibly adopt Andy,Spike and Olaf,but each and every time they failed either due to someone already having a pet,or them just not being interested in the prospect. And honestly if you asked the candidates up for adoption,they were kinda glad they were turned down because the living arrangements did sound a little lacking,even for Spike.
The girls and the animals continued to lounge and sip on their root beers while they patiently waited for the boys and Olaf to get back,and soon enough they came walking through the saloon doors absolutely exhausted and sweating bullets due to the scorching heat as they sat down at the table.
"Hey there guys." Charlie Brown greeted the others in an exhausted tone of voice as Marcie handed him a mug of root beer they got him on standby before Pig-Pen noticed the lack of enthusiasm on their faces and asked "So I take it you guys had no luck?" to which Lucy sarcastically replied "Wow you guys are so smart,how'd you guess?"
"Man,trying to get people to adopt dogs is hard. Why is that? Who wouldn't want one,they're dogs!?" Patty asked out of frustration and annoyance that no one would adopt the dogs as Snoopy thought to Spike "These guys out here are really hard to please." to which he replied "I can say the same for this saloon here,it's dead."
The gang sat at the table for a few more minutes and finished off their drinks until Charlie Brown took a deep sigh and suggested "Ok so,I guess we'll stay here tonight and head over to Green River tomorrow. Maybe Wylie can give us some tips." as Linus replied somewhat enthusiastic "I suppose it would be nice to see those guys again." before Lucy stood up and crabbily retorted "Listen here Charlie Brown,if we have to travel around the country for more than a week,I'm high tailing it back home. I'm not spending my whole summer looking out for these dogs." to which Charlie Brown got red in the face and reassured her nervously "We'll find them a home before then Lucy,I know we will."
"Hi there,do you guys have a moment?" The voice of a young adult man suddenly called out to them from behind as the gang turned their heads around to see Jon ecstatically waving his hand at them with a slightly nervous look on his face to which Charlie Brown politely greeted the man "How can we help you sir-"
"Do you want any of these dogs?" Lucy interrupted Charlie Brown's greeting and asked the man anxiously as she yanked the dogs out of their seat and shoved them in his face to which Jon politely declined "No thanks,I got my hands full enough with Garfield and Odie,I actually wanted to talk to you about that room upstairs-"
Jon suddenly stopped his rambling and pre-negotiation to get them to let him have the room upstairs when he heard and felt the ground and saloon start to faintly vibrate,it didn't take too long for the others to notice it too as Patty asked nervously "Uh...what is that?" to which they directed their attention to the stage when they saw three dairy cows with one of them having two field mice on her back,and an orange cat in a purple t-shirt invade the stage.
"What the?!" Lucy asked rhetorically as the three show girls screamed at the sight of them as well as did the cows,the cat,and the two mice to which some of the other bar goers started to laugh hysterically at the display. Charlie Brown however soon noticed that the cat looked oddly familiar to him until it hit him then and there like a lightning bolt as he yelled out of shock "Tiger?!" to which Patty remarked in awe and excitement "Whoa!" before Snoopy,Spike and Woodstock spit out their root beer.
Garfield and Odie also directed their attention to the stage due to the showgirl's loud and obnoxious screaming that had thankfully stopped as Garfield thought to himself "Oh finally,some real entertainment." before Wylie and Mrs Kitty rushed the stage as well to which Wylie angrily lamented his companions "What in the world is wrong with you varmints?! Do y'all have any idea-"
Wylie suddenly stopped his inane scolding when he noticed that the entire crowd was staring at him and his companions as he whimpered "Oh poop." to which the bar owner angrily yelled "Get those cows and those varmints off the stage!" before the show girls angrily glared and growled at the group.
"Maybe we came at a bad time?" Grace asked in a surprisingly calm tone of voice as they slowly backed away from the increasingly getting angrier show girls to which Mrs Kitty angrily asked sarcastically "Oh you don't say?!" before Tiger whimpered "Ladies and gentlemen,it's been an honor serving with you today."
"Charge!" The showgirls shouted before they quickly dashed towards the group as Mrs Calloway and Tiger jumped off the stage and into the crowd,with Wylie,Maggie and Mrs Kitty taking the girls head on as Fievel and Tanya held onto Maggie as tight as they could,all the while with the piano playing an upbeat tune perfect for a saloon brawl. It was an absolute mess now,Mrs Calloway was crashing into and knocking over many tables including Charlie Brown's and Garfield's,but the former was too busy trying to comprehend the fact that they just saw Tiger as his group tried to hide from the chaos.
"I can't believe this,what is Tiger doing here?!" Charlie Brown yelled in confusion admits all of the unfolding chaos as he and the others managed to hide under a table that wasn't knocked over to which Linus added as he saw what appeared to be Wylie and Mrs Kitty helping out Maggie through one of the open spaces "And look,I see Wylie and Mrs Kitty too!"
"What?!" Patty and Charlie Brown yelled in disbelief as the former crawled over to the empty space to see Wylie slapping one of the show girls with his paws,Mrs Kitty slicing at her clothes with her claws,and a brown cow kicking her in the gut over and over again to which she laughed hysterically "Ah man,this is like the best family reunion ever,and we aren't even related." before Snoopy asked his brothers and Woodstock "Do you think I'm just drinking too much or is this really happening?"
"This is really happening." They all replied in unison as Charlie Brown got a concerned look on his face and asked the others "Wait,if Tiger,Wylie,and Mrs Kitty are here,could that mean that Fievel is here too?" to which Marcie calmly replied "Well I guess we'll have to wait until this whole thing blows over."
"Garfield! Odie!" Jon anxiously called out to his pets as he hid and cowered behind the bar counter in the hopes of them either responding to him or joining him behind the counter,unaware that Garfield and Odie were actually sitting at the top of the staircase and sharing a bag of popcorn as they watched the whole thing unravel.
Grace was now being chased by one of the showgirls up on the stage as the latter yelled "How dare you!" and Grace soon had her head stuck in a painting as all the stage props were now falling apart and were making an even bigger mess than there already was,this included a giant moon with a creepily drawn happy face,a Greek pillar,and even a prop of Rapunzel's tower.
Maggie,Wylie and Mrs Kitty had also finally managed to finish off the girl they were fighting as Maggie threw her up high in the air with her horns and Mrs Kitty kicked her over to the bar where she slid down the table and knocked over all of the glasses and cups onto the ground,as well as a man that was sitting at the far end and it turned out that the show girl wasn't a show girl at all and instead an old man as the other man asked out of shocked "Daddy?!" to which he replied just as shocked "Son?!"
One of the bar goers was in fact laughing so hard at the whole display that he slapped one of the other men in the neck he was sitting with,however he slapped him there so hard that he knocked his golden teeth right out of his mouth and into Mrs Calloway's as she spit them out promptly and into a full mug of beer.
"I say!" The man who the mug belonged to remarked out of confusion before another man suddenly walked up to him and punched him onto a nearby table where the men at that table started pounding the life out of him,with one of them even biting his leg like a chicken wing as the victim yelled in pain "What did I do?!"
It was now a full on bar fight and it seemed that the chaos would go on and on,never ending or slowing down one bit until the bar owner finally had enough of this and angrily yelled "That does it! Hoof it on out of here varmints,go on!" as she threw the cows,Wylie,Tiger and Mrs Kitty out of the saloon and onto the street. With one of the bar goers even going outside with them and desperately yelling "Oh come back! That was the best dang show we ever had!" to which the bar owner dragged him back inside as she retorted "You've been on the trail too long you old colt."
The bar was an absolute mess from top to bottom and every corner and inch was filthy,many of the bar goers were in unfathomable pain and it seemed like this would be a day to remember for them that's for sure. However Charlie Brown and the others were thankfully unharmed by the rampage and were merely just highly confused by the sudden return of their old friends as they crawled out from under the table and Lucy asked "What...just happened?" to which Charlie Brown replied somewhat woozy "I think we just got into a bar fight."
"Oh come on Chuck,that was mighty fun to watch! And I thought these kind of fights only happened in the movies!" Patty however ecstatically replied as she patted Chuck on the back before Marcie remarked "Well,it seems that Wylie and the others may be in town. You wanna go see what they're doing here?" to which Linus agreed "Yeah,and also so we can so what that was all about. That was nuts."
"Ok. So the bar owner threw them all out due to all…..this,so let's see if they're still out there. I also wanna see why they were with a bunch of cows." Charlie Brown suggested before they quickly headed outside to look for Wylie and the others as Jon lifted his head from behind the counter and frantically called out to them "Wait guys I wanted to talk to you about….the…..room?" but stopped when they merely ignored him and continued to look for the others.
Garfield and Odie slid down the stairs and were highly entertained by the whole bar fight that had transcribed from a few minutes ago,and Garfield was surprisingly happy for once as he ecstatically told Odie "That was absolutely amazing Odie,we have to got to give those animals our compliments. Think of this as a way for you to learn some manners." before Odie happily barked and they headed outside to look for the animals as well.
