Chapter 3

"I can't sleep agh!" Garfield tossed and turned. Just as he was about to get up and kick Odie for a better sleep, he thought of another idea.

Carefully and quietly, he sneaks into the kitchen and kissed the triple locked fridge. "Ah, Jon, you can never stop me!" Garfield went around to the back, where he had made a door yesterday. "Ah…how thoughtful of me to make myself a walk-in fridge!"

When he was almost finished with his 'little' night snack, he felt sleep came over him. "Uh oh! Race for the door!" But he never made it, sleep attack came and he curled up with a half-eaten turkey in a soup and a thumb in his mouth.

The next morning

"Garfield is missing!" Jon yelled. "Odie, go hunt down Garfield, I don't want him to burn someone else's house today because I got up too late to make coffee!"

"Woof!" Odie gladly agreed, he bound to Garfield's bed with Jon followed closely at his heel.

"Garfield, where are you?" Jon called without realizing which part of the house he had came upon.

Odie suddenly stopped and barked twice. Jon stared down at Odie with a puzzled expression on his face. As far as Jon had checked his morning, his locks were not tempered with.

Odie barked again. "Okay, okay, boy. I'll check the refrigerator." As Jon unlocked the last lock and opened the door wide. His eyes almost popped out from his socket. Eggs smashed, his prize sandwich eaten, donuts were glue to the back wall that spelled 'FOOD HEAVEN' with his lovable strawberry jam, and all the bowls are empty. Most of all, his turkey was missing.

"GARFIELD!" Jon screamed. As if on the cue, a pack of reddish ice slid down from the fridge and landed on the floor. Odie licked it. Jon realized that the reddish ice was the soup from the last night's dinner. Frozen in place was the well-rested Garfield with a turkey in his embrace.

Jon was filled with relief that Garfield didn't burn someone's house down because he slept in and forgot to make coffee in time. Then anger filled his face as he acknowledged fact that he had to go shopping again today. Horror came last as he realized that Garfield might be like this for a long time already and he might freeze to death.

Quickly, he told Odie to bring the huge ice cube, then he went ahead to start a fire on his Barbeque rack.

Odie had no idea how to move a thing that was as big as him and a lot heavier than four times of him. He scratched his head and looked around for an answer. Finally, he lifted up his hind legs and pushed with all his might. The ice cube moved a bit. Using this method, Odie finally got Garfield into the yard. Jon picked him up with great difficulty and lifted him onto the barbeque rack.

"Hiss!" Sounded the BBQ as the ice melted.

"Owwww!" Garfield cried as fire licked his now burning tail. He let go of the turkey and jumped into the swimming pool that was near. "Ahhhhh!"

Grabbing the fire extinguisher, Jon put out the fire that was raging on this favorite BBQ.

"It's Monday morning I see, why do world even bother have Mondays when it was so horrible!" Garfield muttered unpleasantly. Then louder, he said. "Jon, I can't walk with my tail half burnt, carry me to the kitchen and there better be a cup of coffee waiting!"

Helplessly, Jon glanced around and saw his only choice was to face the glaring Garfield. With a loud sigh, he picked Garfield up and hoped that his arms won't go to sleep on him or Garfield scratching him once he realized that there will be no coffee waiting.
