Chapter 4: Gordon City
Gordon landed in an urban city.
Gordon: Ow! (sniffs) What's that smell? It's gross! Oh, man, I gotta find someplace to stay or...(rain falls down) great.
Gordon runs on four legs this time like a horse. He stops when he bumps into a huge dog. Then, Gordon runs and dodges from him. Eventually, the dog couldn't find him anymore, but now Gordon is lost in the rain with no shelter and cold.
Gordon: I wished I was back at home. And just a wee little rain stopped. (sneezes)
Meanwhile near where he is Arnold and Gerald find Gordon cold and hungry. Arnold picks the cat up.
Arnold: You know Gerald, I'm gonna take this cat home. Just for a while.
Gerald: I don't know Arnold, after all, it is fat.
Arnold: Gerald.
Gerald: What?
Arnold: I better take this guys home. I mean, it's not like something bad is gonna happen if I take this cat home.
Gerald: Whatever, Arnold.
Gerald and Arnold go back to their homes with Gordon in Arnold's hands. He went up to his bedroom and grabbed the fluffiest blanket that Arnold can find. After a few minutes, Gordon's eyes squinted so he couldn't see much, but saw a football headed kid about 9 years old having food in his hands.
Arnold: I know your probably sick from the storm, but it'll be alright. My grandpa and grandma said a can take care of you for a few days. Man, (petting Gordon) I wish you can really talk so you can understand me and I can understand you.
Gordon: (snaps) Of course I can talk!
Arnold: (shocked) You can?
Gerald: (knocking on the door) Hey Arnold! Is there someone else in there? How's the cat? Uh, Arnold?
Arnold: Just a minute Gerald! (to Gordon) Look, I don't have that much time, but are you sure I'm not dreaming?
Gordon: Of course you're not dreaming, lad.
Arnold: Great.
Gerald: Arnold, can I come in, now?
Arnold: In one more minute, Gerald!
Arnold tries to shove Gordon under his bed, but it won't work, so, he pushes a button on his remote and puts Gordon in the closet.
Arnold: Gerald was right, you are fat.
Gordon: I'm not fat, I'm big mouthed! And this is no way how to...
Arnold: Since no one ever saw a talking cat before, just get in the closet and don't say anything! (finally shoves him in and opens the door)
Gerald: Hey Arnold.
Arnold: Hey Gerald. (to the friend handshake)
Gerald: Was it just me, or did I hear another voice in here? And where's the cat?
Arnold: Um, he got into the closet. Yeah, that's right.
Gerald: OK. Do you remember that we needed to go to Phoebe's house for her "latest invention"?
Arnold: No.
Gerald: Well, it's now! The sun has finally cleared up! And bring your cat, too.
Arnold: Right. (goes into his closet and whispers to Gordon) Just don't say anything to anyone else.
Gordon: But I'm so hungry!
Arnold: Shh!
Arnold covers Gordon's mouth as them and Gerald go to Phoebe's. She is in her backyard working on something. Also,
Helga and Harold are there, too.
Phoebe: I have gathered you all here for my greatest invention.
Harold: Yeah, yeah, just get on with the point.
Phoebe: I introduce you to...(pulls up the curtain) the portal.
Helga: Wow, what does it do?
Phoebe: You see, Helga, this portal can take you anywhere in the world.
Harold: Even the land of ice cream?
Phoebe: Yes, even that.
Gerald: (whispers to Arnold) If that was possible. (him and Arnold snicker while Harold makes a fist)
Helga: So, now what?
Phoebe: I guess we can go and buy some Jolly Olly ice cream.
Harold: Sounds good to me!
Helga, Phoebe, Harold, leave the scene.
Gerald: Hey Arnold, are you coming?
Arnold: Um, no Gerald. I'm not that hungry.
Gordon: I am. (Arnold covers his mouth)
Gerald: Right. (leaves the scene)
Arnold: Look, who are you? How did you get here? And why can you talk?
Gordon: First, I am Gordon Quin of the Quin Clan. I got here when my brothers and I were fighting on a portal, like the one your friend made. Somehow, we got sucked into...I think...different universes.
Arnold: Universes! No wonder. I guess from your world, you animals can talk, but not here in Hillwood City.
Gordon: Eye. So, Arnold, is it, how is life here?
Arnold: Well, I do try to help other people, but sometimes it can get outta hand, however at the end, it all turns well.
Gordon: Well, this is odd.
Arnold: What do you mean?
Gordon: I do just the same, only with my brothers. True, we fight a lot, but at the end, everything is swell.
Arnold: I know how you feel, man.
Gordon: Yep. Well, I better get home.
Arnold: What?
Gordon pushes and pulls some levers and buttons while Arnold tries to stop him.
Gordon: Arnold! I know you want me here, but I really need to get home! What if my brothers are already there?
Arnold: Well, I guess I can't stop you.
Gordon makes the portal work and sees home. Then, Arnold trips on something and falls back. This makes him fall into the portal instead of Gordon.
Gordon: (yells) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What now!
Woman: Will you shut up! (throws something at Gordon) Stupid cats. (leaves)
