"I just… I don't understand. Why can't you two agree on something for once in your lives?" Gidget demanded, her sky blue eyes moving left and right to glare at the two animals she was talking to. Sitting next to his girlfriend, Max leaned over and whispered to his pal Duke, "Well, they both agreed that they hate each other, right?" The Newfoundland mix nodded his head quietly in agreement to the Jack Russell terrier before returning his attention towards the pair they had been talking about. In the left corner of the imaginary ring was Ozone, the Sphynx cat and leader of the Alley Cats. In the right corner was Tiberius, the domesticated red tailed hawk and Gidget's best friend.
"Can someone please remind me what they're arguing about this time?" Mel begged, practically howling his question. Buddy, his best friend in the whole wide world, opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by Chloe, "Isn't it obvious? One of them provoked the other into a fight."
"HE STARTED IT!" Ozone and Tiberius shouted at the same time, accusing the other.
"I don't care who started it! I'm gonna finish it right here and now!" Snowball retorted without hesitation. His sudden shout caused everyone to jump with fright. Sweetpea was so startled that he actually fell off his perch on Leonard's head. Taking a deep breath as he smoothed his ears back, the white rabbit mumbled apologetically, "I'm sorry. Let's try this again. What were you two arguing about this time?" He was quickly pounded by replies from both.
"I was rudely shoved!"
"I barely touched you!"
"Yeah right ya stupid alien!"
"Look who's name calling now cannibal!"
"Enough you two!" Gidget barked, her fur bristling. Her teeth bared, she growled at Ozone and Tiberius, finally getting them to shut their mouths for once. Looking at them both in the eye with a serious look on her face, the Pomeranian went on, "Can you guys at least TRY to get along with each other?" She put a lot of emphasis on the word try. Glancing sideways at each other, the hairless feline and the old red tailed hawk grumbled at the same time, "No."
"Great, another rare thing that they agree on…" Pops muttered to Leonard and Sweetpea.
"Okay, here's an idea you two. Get along or I'm locking you both in a room for a week," Snowball declared. His eyes widening when he heard that, Max leaned over and whispered to the white rabbit, "Don't you think that's a little too harsh?" Rolling his blue eyes in annoyance towards the Jack Russell terrier, Snowball corrected his statement, "Alright, fine. Get along or I'm locking you both in a room for twenty-four hours."
"You wouldn't dare…" Ozone hissed, his long tail lashing side to side. Crossing his arms, Snowball replied curtly, "Try me." Sighing heavily, Tiberius muttered, "I would much rather die."
"That can be arranged still…"
"I think this cat just volunteered for flying lessons."
"Just get along already!" the gang shouted.
