Screaming in terror, Gidget burst out of the bushes and barged past Clara and her friends. Glancing over her shoulder, the Pomeranian shouted, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! IT'S COMING!" Confused as she watched the dog race off down the grassy hill, Clara called out to her, "What's coming?" Gidget didn't answer and continued running. However, the brown and white tabby didn't have to wait long when a large red tailed hawk swooped down from the sky with a mighty screech and landed in front of her, eyes blazing red and talons glistening in the sun. The stuff of nightmares, truly a terrifying sight.
About as horrified as Gidget had been, Clara's friends screamed and ran. Being much braver than them though, Clara stayed where she was. As the hawk came closer, she merely raised one paw and flicked him in the beak. Yelping, Tiberius covered his beak and dropped the scary act. Seeing she was about to do it again, he cowered at her feet and pleaded, "Oh please, don't do it again! I'm sorry!" In the meantime, Gidget was leading Clara's friends back up the hill while explaining what was going on. Deeply confused by this whole situation, Clara finally figured out the puzzle just as a familiar but unwanted voice called out, "Did I hear someone call for help?"
"I should've known…" Clara grumbled as she turned around to find Ozone wearing a cape made from a trash bag and holding a trash can lid like a shield while standing upon a large rock. Standing in the best heroic pose he could pull off, he flashed a gleaming white smile at her. Rolling her yellow eyes in annoyance, she glanced over at Tiberius and the animals climbing up the hill. Pointing at the red tailed hawk and Gidget, she asked, "Was this his idea of getting me back?" The two solemnly nodded their heads simultaneously. Shocked that he had just been ratted out, Ozone exclaimed, "You guys were supposed to stick to the plan!"
"Seriously Ozone? The plan was stupid from the very beginning!" Gidget shouted angrily. Next to her, Tiberius muttered,"And ya didn't say she was gonna fight back herself."
"Ozone, this is not how you try to win a girl back. This needs to stop, we're never getting back together! Period!" Clara shouted. Turning towards Tiberius, she gently scratched him under the chin. Relaxing, the hawk purred loudly as he practically fell over onto his back, leaving his stomach exposed for a belly rub. Laughing softly to herself as she gave the red tailed hawk one, Clara looked up at Ozone and added, "Besides, if you want this trick to work right, ya might want to find a tougher bird. This one is a total sweetheart."
"Please baby! I'm running out of options!" Ozone cried. All eyes turned towards the hairless cat with a question glistening in them. Glancing up at Clara, Tiberius murmured, "I'll be right back. I have some trash to get rid of." A second later, the old hawk took to the air and swooped down towards Ozone. Before the cat could run, he was grabbed by the neck and carried off towards the nearby pond, where he was promptly dropped. He didn't get a chance to scream before he disappeared underwater. By the time he resurfaced and dragged himself onto the shore, Ozone saw that Clara and her friends were talking with Tiberius and Gidget like they were lifetime pals or something. Huffing, Ozone muttered, "Of course she digs the old bird, why wouldn't she? This is just a bunch of bull-"
Just then, a marvelous idea popped into Ozone's head as he murmured, "I got it!"
