"Man, you should've seen the look on Tom's face when I threw him in the van!" exclaimed Joey

Joey was telling the tale of how he threw Tom in the back of an animal catcher's van, Tom was embarrassed and Toodles was cross.

"That's so mean! How could you do that?" exclaimed Toodles

"Ah come on doll, I had to toughen him up" replied Joey cockily

"WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME DOLL!" Toodles angrily thought to herself

Tom just sat there all embarrassed at all the tales Joey was telling, he told of the time that Joey trapped Tom in a trashcan and the time he told Tom that he [Tom] was adopted and other embarrassing moments in their lives.

"So Tommy buddy what's for dinner?" asked Joey

Tom was puzzled...

"Where the heck are your manners, you got ya cousin and ya gal over at ya place and you ain't cooked nothing? Didn't I teach you better?" exclaimed Joey arrogantly

"I'm not really that hungry..." said Toodles

"Nonsense, it's common courtesy to feed your guests! Now come on Tom, in the kitchen let's go!" exclaimed Joey as he grabbed Tom by the ear and dragged him into the kitchen, all Tom saw was a worried Toodles before Joey dragged him into the kitchen and closed the door.

"Now let's get cooking shall we?" asked Joey

All Tom could do was look by the door, he wanted nothing more than to go out that door and run to Toodles but he was too intimidated by Joey, so all Tom could do was go to the fridge and grab some tomatoes and some onions.

"Alright, you're gonna make sauce and don't worry I'll supervise" said Joey cockily as Tom grabbed a saucepan

Joey's said idea of "supervising" Tom was Joey pulling out a chair and sitting at the kitchen table and yelling at him. Meanwhile Toodles was just sitting in the living room worrying about Tom;

"Tom really needs to stand up to that jerk" Toodles thought to herself

Back in the kitchen Tom was busy mixing the sauce, chopping onions and celery and cooking pasta, all while Joey "supervised."

"What the heck is the matter with you? You're supposed to stir it constantly...CONSTANTLY!" exclaimed Joey

Tom nervously stirred the sauce and kept an eye on the pasta which began to bubble...

"The pasta's bubbling, TAKE IT OUT!" yelled Joey

All the while Jerry was watching from his hole and he felt bad for Tom, it was one thing for Jerry to torture Tom but seeing the way Joey tortured him, Joey was treating Tom like a slave.

"KEEP STIRRING!" exclaimed Joey

Tom kept stirring all while he was trying to drain the pasta in the colander and all this made Joey cross;

"Move over, let me taste the sauce!" exclaimed Joey as he pushed Tom aside

Joey grabbed a wooden spoon, dipped it in the saucepan and tasted the sauce Tom made, Joey quickly spat it right in Tom's face;

"I wouldn't even feed this garbage to a dog and you're gonna feed it to your gal? GET OUT AND LET ME TAKE CARE OF IT!" exclaimed Joey as he shooed Tom out of the kitchen

"I gotta do everything myself!" Joey angrily thought to himself as he chopped vegetables and drained the pasta

Tom sulked into the living room where Toodles was sitting on the couch all concerned about him;

"Tom...you really have to stand up to him" said Toodles as she took out a tissue from her purse and began to wipe Tom's face. Tom really couldn't stand up to Joey even though he really wanted to but Joey was just too intimidating!

Joey walked out of the kitchen, sauce stained his white shirt but that's all he was wearing because after he shooed Tom out he took of his leather jacket.

"Dinner is served...no thanks to Tom who should be lucky I only stained my shirt and not my jacket!" exclaimed Joey as he set the pasta with sauce on the table

"Only one thing that's ticking me off right now, you ain't got bread...who the heck eats pasta with no bread?" exclaimed Joey

"Oh really, then why did you make pasta?" retorted Toodles

Joey went silent because he knew he was wrong but hated to admit it...

"Ah what do you know? Now get over here before it gets cold!" exclaimed Joey

Tom and Toodles sat at the dinner table, eating their pasta and Tom and Toodles did enjoy it

"Not bad" said Toodles

"Not bad?" scoffed Joey

"Yeah, like I said not bad" replied Toodles

"It's way better than what Tom was gonna make, jeez it tasted like tomato cement!" exclaimed Joey cockily

"I would've eaten it" replied Toodles

Tom smiled a little because of Toodles standing up for him, he was so tempted to tell Joey off but he just couldn't at that moment.

Meanwhile Jerry had left the house looking for a personal friend of his to help Tom out with his "Joey" problem.

(A/N) Wow Joey is a real jerk, I wonder who Jerry's friend is? Well...actually I do because I know how it's gonna end, but don't worry all will be revealed when I put up the next chapter so I hope you R&R that would be awesome and you're awesome for reading this. So until next time!
