REVIEW RESPONSE

Rock Raider: I have to admi, I did considir the iidea of Aaooga throwing up inside Sylvester but I couldn't thinmk of how to write it. About the Timesplitters' cameo you sugggested, I'd rather limit it to Looney Tunes or Coolcat Cameo's but thanks for the idea anyway.

PurpleCobra247: Yeah, all that matters is that they succeded in their mission. You'll see what happens regarding Sylvester's feelings very soon.

Nightw2: Glad you liked it. Writing the quest in the stomach was one of the hardest things I've ever written, partly because it goes against my normal thinking.

acosta pèrez josè ramiro: Nice name that. I like it. Interesting point about Sylvester and Hector although Sylvester does fight back sometimes, usually by making some machine attack him. It would be interesting material though, thanks.

The Castle

During the night, soon after Tweety and Aaooga's little adventure, Sylvester fell asleep on his watch. He was simply too tired to stay awake and he eventually curled up on the floor fast asleep. Because the statue had been fished out, he was feeling no more stomach pains. He stilll had no idea of what happened. While he was asleep, a couple of masked figures entered the room. They were both human but there were no meansd of identification. One of them was carrying a large sack while the other had a small torch and a slip of paper. He shone the torch around the floor and quickly saw Sylvester. He completely missed the birdcage and the statue.

"Is this him?" The figure asked.

"Yeah, he's the one who ate the statue." The other replied.

"Why did he do that?"

"Who knows. Let's get him and take him away."

"What's the note for anyway?"

"Just incase someone else around here has the statue."

"Oh." The man with the sack leant down and grabbed Sylvester by the neck. He suddenly awoke and was able to see the two figures. He let out a quick yelp but one of the figures clamped his mouth shut and taped it. Sylvester tried to struggle but it was all in vain. He was placed in the sack and it was tied. The figures dropped the slip of paper on the floor and quickly fled the room. They had no idea that the scuffle, Sylvester's yelp in particular, had awoken Aaooga. She was looking out of the birdcage in shock. Because of the torch, she had seen the whole incident. When they were out of the room, she went over to Tweety and shook his shoulder to wake him up. He slowly oppened one eye and looked at Aaooga.

"Aaooga, is this important?"

"Yes. I just saw two figures enter the room." Tweety jumped awake and grabbed the torch he had when they went inside Sylvester. He shone it around the room but saw nothing. The statue was still in front of the door, completely unseen by the catnappers. However, it didn't take long for Tweety to realise that Sylvester was missing.

"Well they're gone, but so's Sylvester."

"Those intruders abducted him." A sudden wave of shock, horror and surprise hit Tweety at the same time. He suddenly began to worry for sylvester's safety. He had felt worried about him a few times before but nothing extreme.

"They abducted him?"

"Yes, I saw the whole incident. They dropped a slip of paper on the floor." Tweety shole the torch around the floor and eventually saw the piece of paper himself. Tweety unlocked the bnirdcage and they went over to have a look. The slip of paper contained a message. Tweety shone the torch light onto the paper so they could read it.

"If you want to see your cat again, bring the statue to the castle montre by noon!" Tweety and Aaooga read the note, both of them were sharing a feeling of horror. Although neither of them showed it openly, they both saw Sylvester not as an enemy, but as a toy to constantly outsmart. With him captured, they could have no fun.

"Tweety, what do we do?" Aaooga asked.

"Come on, we're going to the castle."

"What about the statue?"

"We'll leave it here for granny, and the note. She should figure out to go to the castle."

"Are you sure it's wise to leave Granny? She'll worry about us."

"Hmm, perhaps. We should let her know where we are."

"How do we do that?" Tweety dug through the cage and pulled out a small pen. He used it to scribble a note on the same piece of paper as the ransome note. He wrote 'Gone after Sylvester. Meet us at castle'. He then lifted the statue up and placed the note underneath it, also plucking one of his own feathers and polacing it there so Granny knew that he had left the note. Aaooga smiled while she watched him do his stuff. When Tweety was done, he went over to Aaooga and hugged her. She was a little surprised but gave in and hugged him back.

"Ready Aaooga?"

"Yeah, let's go." They let go of each oother and gave a very quick kiss before heading to the door. They carefully opened the door and flew out of the in and after the catnappers, leaving Granny and Hector still asleep.

That morning, Granny awoke to the sound of birds just outside the window. They were chirping to the morning sun. Hector pretty much slept through the chirping, only waking up when Granny began moving. She went into the en-suit bathroom to fresen up, not noticing that Sylvester and the Canaries were gone. While Granny was freshening up, Hector stretched and walked around the room. He eventually realised that Sylvester was gone. He cheched the birdcage and found it empty. On instinct, he began barking as loudly as he could. Granny immediately came running out to find out what was going on.

"What is all the noise Hector?" Hector pointed to the birdcage. Granny looked inside and found it empty. She quickly glanced around the room and saw no sign of Sylvester either. After looking around, she gasped in terror.

"Oh gracious, I hope Sylvester hasn't harmed my birds." She was thinking that Sylvester had eaten Tweety and Aaooga duringb the night and then made a run for it so he would't be caught. She never thought he would so so low. She started running around the room in a hurry and in a panic. Hector just watched her run around the room trying to change to go out. When Granny was changed, she went back to the birdcage.

"Don't worry Tweety, wherever you are. Granny will…" Before granny could continue, she noticed the statue outside the birdcage. She instinctively picked it up and saw the piece of paper underneath. She read the ransome note and the note Tweety had left. She was horrified, concerned and amazed all at the same time. Worried about Sylvester, Concerned about Tweety and amazed at Tweety's courage. She took another look at the statue. Ahe was about to put itin her handbag when she nkocked the head against the desk. As a result, the head turned a little. Granny didn't notice as she was in a hurry to get to the castle.

"Come on Hector, we have to get to a castle." Granny opened the door and ran out. Hector followed her out. Granny had left the birdcage in the bedroom because she was in such a panic.

Sylvester woke up in a dark and danky room. The walls were made completely of stone and there was a masked person at the door. The room was pretty much empty. Sylvester could feel a huge pain in his stomach. He looked at his chest andf saw a square patch of missing fur and some stitches. There was also a large bump on his head. He felt it with the tip of his finger and a jolt of pain ran thorough his head. The masked figure at the door was holding a pistol. Without warning, the figure walked over to him.

"Ok cat, your owner has until noon to bring that statue or…" The masked figure said, running his ffinger along his own neck. Sylvester began to tremble with fear. He had never been so terrified in his life. The figure walked out of the door and slammed it behind him. Sylvester then heard a key turn coming from the door. He immediately realised that the door had been locked. He ran to the door and tried to open it, but with no luck. There were a few holes in the door but nothing large enough to help. He finally gave up and slumped in front of the door.

"Why is everything going wrong for me? This is probably the worst case for me ever!" He beggan pacing the room, trying to figure out what to do. He came up with no ideas on how to get out and the more he tried to think, the more his head hurt. He eventually gave up and leant back against the wall, accidentially knocking a loose stone. The wall he was leaning on caved in and crushed him under a immense pile of rubble. He eventually climbed out from under the rubble and saw a corridor behind the collapsed wall. The corridor was very plain, but there were loads of doors running along it. Sylvester peeped around and checked both directions

"Phew, all clear." Sylvester began to creep along the corridor to the oleft. He decided in his head to try the doors. He opened the first door to his right and had a look inside. Inside he saw train tracks coming towards the door and a forest on either side. He looked for a moment before noticing an express train coming towards him. He quickly shut the door and moved away.

"I'm sure we've done that joke before." Sylvester walked to the next door and opened it. He saw an open savana. He also saw Colonel Rimfire tied to a rocket. The rocket was facing the door. Soon after, Coolcat came along with a lit match. He lit the fuse and took cover. Sylvester quickly slammed the door and pressed his back to it. Within a few moments, there was an explosion which blew the door off it's frame and slammed Sylvester into the opposite door. This room was also very plain, with only a picture of what looked like a farm. Sylvester recovered from his daze and saw the picture.

"That farm looks familiar." Sylvester climbed to he feet and had another look around. There was nothing else in the room. He was about to move on when he heard a shaking. He looked to the floor and saw that one of the stones on the floor was moving.

"YIKES!" Sylvester ran to the other side of the room and watched the stone. Eventually the stone lifted from the floor and slammed back down the opposite side. There was a secret passage underneath, and someone was inside.

"Who's there?"

In another part of the castle, Tweety and Aaooga were in another room. Unlike most of the others, it wasn't empty. It was filled with a number of printing machines. There were stacks of paper in the corner and boxes underneath each machine. There were also boxes in the corner of the room. Some of them were full of money and some of them were full of tins. Tweety and Aaooga were in one of the boxes looking at the tins. The tins were full of paint. Tweety looked at the label. It was grass green paint.

"These tins look very familiar don't they?" Aaooga asked.

"They sure do. I think this is a printing press."

"So the fake monbey was printed here then."

"Yep, we've come across a major counterfit operation here."

"But who could be behind it all?"

"I don't know. I wish I had a clue." As Tweety said this, a piece of paper dropped from a nearby air vent. It fell into the box and landed on Tweety's head. Tweety grabbed the paper and looked at it.

"What is it?" Tweety looked at the paper and kept tilting it, trying to make out what it said.

"I don't know what it says, I can't read the handwriting."

"Let me have a look." Tweety gave Aaooga the piece of paper but she couldn't make it out either.

"Any idea?"

"Sorry, I can't make it out either."

"come on, we need to find…" Before Tweety could finish, they heard the door opening. They then heard footsteps enter the room. They both huddled together instinctively. Someone was in the room with them, and they had no idea who it was.
