Okay I definatly know now that Chapter 10 and 11 will probably be the hardest chapters to write for me! Hopefully it will turn out ok! I apologize for not publishing this sooner! Lots of bad stuff was going on since its Friday the 13th. In fact this is the first Friday the 13th this year! WE GET THREE FRIDAY THE 13THS THIS YEAR AND THEY'RE 13 WEEKS APART EVENLY! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT! (I heard it on the radio btw)

Anyway enjoy chapter 10!

The two cats reached the entrance of the alley way. A few trash cans, giant green dumpsters and bits of litter were spread along the alleyway.

"Come on Vodka!" said Hero as she entered the alleyway with Vodka close behind her. Even though he lived in the same area, he had never gone into the alley way before.

"Yes, this alley way is perfect!"

"What game are we playing this time, da?"

"Well theirs two games we can play here. Since I picked last time, you can pick the game ok!"

"Sure, da."

"Let's see…The first game is 'hide and seek'. One of us counts to ten while the other hides. When you finish counting you try to find them and when you do it's their turn to count. The second game is called 'Lava' or something. We have to pretend that the ground is lava. Then to escape the lava we have to climb over these trash cans and other junk to get to the other side without touching the floor even once or we'll die. The first one to reach the other side or is the last to touch the lava wins."

"Hmm…I think we should play the second game, da. It sounds much more fun."

"Yeah it is a fun game! I tried to play it with Scone once but he only likes to do boring stuff."

At the mention of 'Scone', Vodka suddenly felt angry again but refused to show it.
"Scone? Who is that, da?"

"Scone? Oh, he's a tom cat who lives a few houses down from mine. We're friends but he treats me like a little kitten all the time and drinks icky tea."

Once she told him he was just a friend he found himself strangely feeling relieved.

"Come on Vodka! Let's play!" Hero shouted as she climbed to the top of a nearby dumpster.

Not wanting to disappoint her, Vodka immediately climbed up after her. He could sort his confusion later.

"You ready, Vodka?"

"Da."

"I'll take that as a yes! On your mark…..Get set…GO!" Instantly the two cats began to race to the other side of the alleyway. Hero started out at front but nearly fell off a trash can, allowing Vodka to take the first position. 'Aw man! He's going to win again!' She thought as he got farther and farther away. Then unexpectedly he stopped. 'What? Is he waiting for me to catch up or something?' Confused she called out. "Hey Vodka what's going on?"

"I'm not sure, da."

"What do you mean?" As soon as she reached him he pointed down below them with his paw. Hero looked down and almost couldn't believe her eyes. Below she could see three cats bullying that kitten she met while visiting Scone yesterday. What was his name again? Myrddin? Yup, it was definitely Myrddin. Hero looked at the other three cats and recognized them too. They were La'mour, Churro and Awesome, otherwise known around the neighborhood as the 'Bad Friends Trio'.

None of the three cats had noticed her or Vodka, seeing as they were too busy with their latest victim.

"Let me go you Jerks!" yelled Myrddin as he tried to escape. "Let me go so I can show you whose boss!"

"There's no need for you to show me, pipsqueak. I already know I'm the boss."

"Que? Since when!"

"Since I was born awesome, Churro!"

"You two are acting silly since it is clear that I am the boss, for I am the best lover of all!" said La'mour. He then caught Myrddin with his paw "Besides…we must figure out more important things, like what we should do with this trublion petite." Myrddin shuddered as he gave him a weird smirk.

"Yeah I agree! We can argue how I'm really the boss of the group later! Right now we got a small fry to deal with. Seriously kid, did you actually think you could get away with trying to steal our turf?"

"Shut up, jerks! I'm the top cat around here and you better recognize that now before I beat you all up!"

"Awww. .. He's so cute! He reminds me of mi tomate!"

The two cats looked at churro in disbelief.

"What! You're still with the crazy chick? What the heck is so special about her! All she ever does is hiss at you every time you get near her!"

"Don't be so judging! Is just her way of saying, te amo!"

Suddenly the three cats froze as a loud voice cried out, "HEY LEAVE MYRDDIN ALONE YOU BULLIES!"

All three cats turned to face the voice and saw Americat in an offensive position. "AS THE HERO I DEMAND YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE! NOW BEFORE I TEACH YOU A LESSON!"

Translations:

Que? = What?

trublion petite = Little Troublemaker

mi tomate = My tomato

te amo = I love you
