As the bouncer(the big, burly ox from Chapter 2) let Otis and his friends in; they were amazed at the club itself.
Music blared over the speakers with the tabby cat DJ running the music selection.
At the ba, a plethora of drinks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic, were being served by the Saint Bernard bartender.
And there was the buffet table that read, "All You Can Eat!(Within Reason)!"
"I'm hittin' the dance floor! Anyone wanna come with me?" asked Pip, grinning.
"I will Pip-ster! I need to show off my sweet moves anyhow," bragged Otis.
"You guys go on ahead. I'm starving. So I'm gonna head on over to the buffet table," Pig explained with a smile.
As Otis, Pip and Pig went to their respective areas in the club, this left Peck and Freddy alone.
Peck looked over at Freddy and could tell his best friend was anxious. The rooster knew that the big crowd and pounding music was getting to the ferret, so Peck decided to get Freddy a drink.
"C'mon Freddy. Let's get you some cold water. Maybe that'll calm you down a bit," offered Peck.
"O-okay," Freddy timidly replied as Peck led him to the bar.
Both Freddy and Peck sat on a cushioned barstool and waited for the Saint Bernard bartender to take their order. The bartender finally took notice of the rooster and ferret duo, giving them an odd look. Yet didn't comment on the two friends being together.
"What can I get for you gentlemen?" asked the dog bartender.
"My friend here would like some water with plenty of ice. And I'd like a Shirley Temple please," Peck ordered politely.
"Sure thing. Your drinks will be ready in a jiff," replied the Saint Bernard.
"Thank you," said Peck, handing the canine bartender a few dollar bills; tip included.
As the bartender fixed Freddy and Peck's drinks, Peck looked over at Freddy, who still seemed a bit tense.
"Freddy? You sure you're okay?" asked Peck with a concerned look.
Freddy smiled nervously and gave a half-hearted thumbs, but was a complete mess on the inside.
Peck though didn't look too convinced, but kept his beak shut. When their drinks finally arrived, Peck and Freddy sat in awkward silence, despite the loud music and chatter amongst themselves.
