Laying on a trash bag, Ozone stared off into space. He felt absolutely miserable. His heart was broken right down the middle and it was probably gonna remain that way for the rest of eternity. Hating himself, the hairless feline burrowed his face just as Nitro came over. Seeing his friend in this state, the black cat gulped nervously before asking, "Uh, Ozone? Are… are you okay?"
"Everything is just peachy Nitro…" Ozone mumbled sarcastically. Lifting his head, he gazed up at his friend with sad eyes. Sitting down, Nitro murmured, "Alright, what happened this time? What did you do?" Tears brimming in his eyes, Ozone broke down as he cried, "I messed up so badly man! I just lost the love of my life and it's all my fault!"
"I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that, strangely, you're not talking about Clara and that you're talking about someone else. Unless you do mean Clara," Nitro commented. Looking over at his best friend with narrowed eyes, Ozone hissed, "No, I'm not talking about her! This person is the one. They were the most important thing in my life and what did I do?! I gave them a reason to hate my guts! I feel like I lost all purpose in my life and my heart is broken in two! I need to win them back but… but I just don't know how!" Bowing his head, the Alley Cat leader sobbed his heart out.
Crying, Ozone didn't notice that Nitro had come closer until he felt a small paw rest on his shoulder. Hiccuping by now, he looked up. Patting his sad friend on the back gently, Nitro murmured softly, "You really want this person?"
"More than anything in the world."
"I know how you can win them back."
"You… you do?"
"Yes."
"Help me Nitro, please."
"I have to warn you, the path is often crossed with challenges."
"I can take them. I have to do whatever it takes," Ozone insisted, holding his head high. He was determined to win Tiberius back, no matter what. Smiling softly at his friend, Nitro bowed his head as he purred, "Let's begin."
Just then, the Rocky theme song started playing at full volume. Covering their ears, Ozone and Nitro turned their heads to find a black and white cat dancing next to a boombox. Heading over there and turning off the music, Ozone sighed heavily as he grumbled, "I understand you like that song Rocky but never play it again."
"Why?!"
"Cuz I said so Rocky! Do not play it again. Understood?"
"Yeah…"
"Good."
