"Where the heck were you?!" Snowball demanded once Ozone rounded the corner into his alley. Nitro was next to the white rabbit, a look of concern on his face. The black feral cat bounded over to his boss and was about to give him a big ol' hug when he stopped. Sniffing the air, a look of disgust was quickly carved into his facial expressions. Holding his nose, Nitro muttered, "Man, you reek! What the heck did you do last night?!"
"If I remember correctly, you and I went to the club last night. You left early while I stayed for a few more hours," Ozone replied, sitting down. He quietly began to lick himself like he didn't have a worry in the world. He truthfully didn't. The leader of the Alley Cats couldn't see why his second in command was so worried about his well being. He was a full grown cat, he could look after himself. He didn't need a bodyguard. Yawning and stretching his sore muscles, he mumbled sleepily, "I think I'm gonna hit the hay here fellas. Wake me up if the world is ending."
"How much catnip did you have?" Snowball questioned, crossing his arms. His foot thumped against the cracked pavement. Flicking his ear and biting his lip, Ozone murmured, "I only had one packet of that stuff."
"Oh thank goodness," Nitro meowed, sighing with relief.
"After Nitro left, I tried this new product they had called catnip wine. Oh that was amazing! I had like eleven bottles of it and five shots of their liquified mint."
"Oh dear lord…"
"Man, you need to stop doing that to yourself. You know what happens when you get that stuff," Snowball grumbled. Rubbing his forehead with one white forepaw, he mumbled, "You slept with someone again, didn't ya?" Before Ozone could protest his innocence, the rabbit leaned forward and sniffed the air between them. Just like Nitro had seconds earlier, he wore a face of disgust. Trying his best to hold down his breakfast, he muttered, "God you are so sick at times."
"Hey man, I can live my life the way I want to live it," Ozone insisted without any hesitation. Raising one eyebrow, Nitro piped up, "Have you considered how this might affect your relationship with Clara?"
"She's not gonna find out. And I plan on keeping it that way."
"You take one wrong step Ozone and you're gonna be in hot water."
"But she's not going to find out."
"I pray that you're right. May God have pity on your soul."
