Somewhere in Suburbia
Odie raced out the pet door, panting hard. He dived behind the tree, dodging the things Garfield chucked at him.
"That'll teach you to 'slurp' my Pooky!" he yelled as he flung a book Odie's way, but missed. He turned around and slammed the door shut.
Odie's ears drooped; he was only trying to be nice… Garfield doesn't like it when Pooky is mistreated, so there shouldn't have been a problem with kissing his teddy bear.
It's not fair… Odie thought sadly. Garfield always treats me like a moron… Just because I don't talk like he does. He doesn't care about me; He probably won't care if I'm gone… more food and attention for him he'll think…
Odie turned tail and trotted slowly down the street, tears falling down his snout.
Back in the house, Garfield stormed around the living room, mopping slobber off of his bear with a towel.
Why did Lyman leave that dumb mutt with Jon, anyway? He thought furiously. Prob'ly 'cause he was too stupid to be more than an existant nothing
Garfield amused himself by laughing at his statement, but a moment later, he felt angry with himself.
You know that's not true… said a voice in the back of his mind. Odie's not a nothing. He's done far more for you than you give him credit for. Who saved you from drowning, and the evil ghosts that one Halloween? Who handmade you a backscratcher out of a wooden board, a spaghetti spoon, and string for Christmas that year? Whose always there to make you smile? Join you in your pranks? Odie. Hid did so much for you, and all you do, in return, is tease, punt him around, kick him off the table and eat his food.
Garfield went to his bed box to set the, now, dry Pooky down. He then picked up a picture frame with Garfield's favorite photo in it: Him and Odie dancing to "Count On Me", the both of them had signed it with their pawprints, and Jon had wrote " Best Bud Forever" for them in the bottom right corner.
" Maybe I should go apologize…" He told himself.
He stepped outside to tell Odie "Sorry", but he was nowhere to be seen.
Oh, No! Garfield thought franticly. Odie must've left!
Garfield then heard an echoing howl come from down the street. There was no mistaking it; It was Odie, and he needed help!
Garfield ran as fast as his legs would allow him. The howl had come from the ally, which wasn't far.
When he got there, though, it was empty. But something told him it wasn't a moment before. Searching the ground, Garfield found a pool of drool; meaning Odie was there not long ago. Dented overturned trashcans told Garfield that someone had jumped on it. Boxes scattered across the ground showed that someone ran through them.
Garfield found a disk-like object by the trashcan. It was orange with a black, stylized "S" on it. Garfield gasped sharply; he knew where it came from. But it made no sense to him. Why would he be after Odie?
I need help… He said in his head, as he turned around and sped back to the house. I need to get the Teen Titans.
Garfield's only chance to get to them was to travel to Jump City, but it has at least 6 miles away. Plus, he was a cat, they won't be able to understand him, except for maybe that green changeling; he could turn into animals. However, he decided the best bet was to write a note.
He tore through a drawer, and grabbed paper and a pen. He put the paper on the ground and scribbled down the following:
Dear Teen Titans,
My Best Dog Pal has been dog-napped by your greatest foe,
I need your help. His name is Odie and he's a yellow,
brown eared dog that has a black spot on both sides of his
body. Please help me find him.
Garfield D. Falene
He rolled up the note, picked up the disk and placed them in a carrying pack. He placed some snacks in there, too, and made sure to get some that Odie liked; in case they took a while to find him, and the poor pooch could be hungry. Garfield placed the pack on his back and left out the door.
He had been walking for ten minutes when he realized that he would never get there in time at the pace he was able to walk.
Almost as if it was meant to be, a bus pulled up to a curb across the street, and Garfield saw it was travel-bound to Jump City.
"What luck!" he cried happily as he slinked into the crowd, right past the driver, and under a seat. The bus started forward and toward Jump City.
Hang on, Odie! Garfield thought. I'm coming to get help, Buddy!
