When I got down from the tree I noticed a very cranky group of animals standing in the clearing. I get on all fours and run over to them before rising onto my hind legs and standing behind RJ and Verne.

"What Verne is trying to say is…I mean, it's hard to really sum it all up in just one word…but-" RJ tries to help but Verne hold his arms and out stop RJ from talking.

Verne looks at everyone and smiles weakly, "I'm sorry."

The others exchange looks and slowly smile over at him.

"Aw! Come here!" Hammy says running over and hugging Verne. The others follow behind him and hug.

RJ backs away a few steps awkwardly and rubs his arm.

I sidestep a bit closer and nudge him with my elbow, "Hey, RJ?"

"Hm?" He looks over at me.

I smile and nod towards the group, "You wanna get in on that?"

He rolls his eyes, "Thanks but no thanks."

"Aw, come on! You know you want to," I giggle, poking him in his side.

He chuckles and swats my hand away, "Stop it."

"Oh, someone's ticklish, huh?" I grin, raising my paws up.

"N-No, don't you dare!" RJ says in a sharp whisper but I am already poking at his sides. His little chuckles turn into laughter as he swats at my paws, "N-No! S-Stop! I…Ha! I can't breathe!"

"No way, I'm having too much fun," I grin, tickling his sides.

After a few moments he's on the ground, rolling around as he tries to pry my paws off him, "N-No! Please! S-Stop! Hahahaha!"

I giggle and pull my paws back, staring down at him with a curious expression on my face.

His giggles die down and he looks up at me, one ear up, one ear down.

I roll my eyes and nudge him with my foot, "You're so weird."

"I know," He grins and I help him to his feet. Then I noticed how close he was and my ears drop submissively as I felt his breath wash over my face.

Then I notice the others were staring at us and I clear my throat awkwardly, "So uh…everything's all good between you guys?"

"Yeah, we're all good here, eh," Lou says before looking over at RJ with a confused expression, "You feelin' alright there RJ? You're redder than a ripe tomato, there."

I look over at him and indeed his face was bright pink and it only darkened a few shades when Lou said about it.

RJ laughs nervously and waves everyone together, "N-Never mind that, uh, okay, stay in the huddle. Here's the plan."

We all stood around a replica of Gladys's backyard. RJ look a golf club and began pointing around the replica, "Okay the traps a set up here… here… here… here… here… here… here… here… here… here… here… here… and here…here…here…here…here…big one here…here…and maybe a few over here."

"Gee…is that all?" Stella chuckles.

"No," RJ says and I giggle, rolling my eyes. He gestures all around the yard, "There's a bunch of red lights all over here." He pauses a moment before adding, "Any questions?"

I nod toward the replica, "Yeah, how much free time did you have on your hands in order to build this?"

He glared and me before looking over at Verne, "You alright there Verne? You're lookin' a little green."

He stares blankly for a moment and then blinks as though he'd just come out of a trance, "I blacked out for a second there but I get the idea. There's lights, traps, I…might need to change my shell…" He cowers back from the replica.

"Okay…" RJ says, dumping a bunch of Monopoly pieces onto the replica, "This is us."

"Wait, so you had enough time to make the replica of Gladys's yard but not enough time to make clay models of us?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He sent me another warning glance.

My mouth turns up into a crooked grin, "You know I'm just teasing."

"Can I be the car?" Hammy bursts out.

"I wanna be the car!" Quillo yells.

"I wanna be the car! You be the shoe!" Spike whines.

"The shoe is lame!" Quillo pouts.

"Why don't you be that snazzy looking iron, there?" Lou asks, pointing at the pieces.

"Hey! It's not important!" RJ says before grabbing the car piece, "Besides, I'm the car. I'm always the car."

I roll my eyes and laugh.

"Now the plan works in three simple steps," RJ says, waving his paws over the replica, "Stop one, kill the lights. Step two, get inside. Step three, get out with mountain of food."

"But this place is like a fortress, walls so high, doors impenetrable…how we gonna get in?" Ozzie says, cutting off RJ.

"The collar is the key," RJ says, whipping out a cell phone and pointing at a video with the cat from the other day on it.

Everyone stared at him in confusion including me.

"Literally," RJ says, rewinding and replaying the video, "The collar, it's like a key that opens the door and-"

"And what?" Stella asks, cutting him off, "You think he's just gonna hand over his collar to you?"

"Not to me my fem-fay-tal . To you," RJ says, pointing the phone towards Stella.

"Her?" Vern says, wide eyed.

"Me?" Stella asks, equally shocked.

"You Stella, will get that cat to give you his collar, by using," RJ starts but Stella cuts him off.

"My stink," She grins.

"Your feminine charms," RJ finishes, tilting her chin up with his paw.

Hammy bursts out laughing but quickly puts his paws over his mouth, "Was that out loud?"

"Look racoon, maybe that mask you're wearin' is obstructing your view, but if you haven't noticed…I'm a skunk," Stella says, holding up a CD to use as a mirror.

"On the outside, maybe! But I'm looking inside, Stella. And I see a fox, and all we gotta do is get her out," RJ says, looking into the CD with Stella.

"She's already out, and she's standin' over there," Stella says, pointing at me.

My ears prick up out of surprise, "Me?"

"We already got ourselves a fox so why make another one?" Stella asks, putting down the CD.

RJ hesitates but grins and rushes over to me, putting an arm around my shoulders, "Because we need Rebekah on the inside! She's knows a lot more about humans than a lot of us do so we could use her for her knowledge. She's the brains of the operation."

"Yeah, yeah, you don't want your girlfriend flirtin' with that puffball, why didn't you just come out and say it?" Stella rolls her eyes.

"Not my girlfriend." "Not his girlfriend." We speak at the same time.

"Whatever, just hurry up and make me a beauty queen before I change my mind," Stella mutters, walking over to join the others as they gathered up things that they may need.

I look over at RJ and smirk, "I'm the brains of the operation, am I?"

RJ glared at me and went to open his mouth to say some witty comeback.

"I'm kidding," I giggled, cutting him off.

"You know what? I think you're insaner than I am," He says.

"I don't think 'insaner' is a word," I say, tapping my paw on my chin.

"Sure it is. You know, like uh...it's when something is more insane than something else," RJ says, trying to elaborate.

"No, I'm certain it isn't a word," I say, giving him a crooked smile.

"It totally is," RJ says, looking at me as though I were stupid.

"…And in any case, you'd be insaner than me," I point out as we walk over towards the others.

"See! It is a word," RJ responds with a grin.

I roll my eyes, "Whatever you say."

I take a seat over by the triplets and watch them as they work on Stella. I noticed a small but constant beeping in the background.

"Scissors," RJ says, holding out a hand and Hammy hands him a pair of scissors and he begins cutting at her shite fur.

"Scissors?" Stella says, partly frightened, "Hey, watch the-"

"Charcoal," Penny says, putting her off.

Someone hands Penny a bucket of charcoal and she dumps it on Stella.

"Airfreshner," RJ says, grabbing some fre-breeze.

"Tomato juice," Ozzie says and Heather hands him a can.

"Cork," Verne says as someone hands him a large cork.

"Don't you dare!" Stella yells but Verne shoves the cork towards her.

I cover my eyes before I see anything that would mentally scar me for life.

Then the beeping I heard earlier quickened until it became a constant sound. I opened my eyes and for a moment I thought we lost her and then I looked over my shoulder to see the kids playing a video game, and by the looks on everyone else's faces I would say they were thinking the same thing.

RJ looks back to Stella, "One more thing…" He pulls out a white hair.

"Ow!" Stella snaps.

"Whoa, stop!" RJ raises his arms and grins, "That's it. Ladies and gentlemen…our work here is done."

I help Stella to her feet and stare at her in shock, "Wow…"

"Oh my…" Lou says, a smile on his face.

"Big jeepers," Penny smiles, clapping her hands together and holding them over her chest.

"She's all like…wow!" Heather grinned.

"What?" Stella asks, looking at herself.

RJ pulled out a mirror and Stella gasped at her reflection before grinning down at herself and wagging her tail, "Meow."

Everyone grinned at each other and started commenting on how beautiful she was.

Verne smiles at RJ with approval before going over to join the others.

RJ smiles at them and relaxes slightly.

"You did a good thing," I smile before turning my head and looking at him.

He smiles back but it falters.

"What?" I ask, giving his shoulder a squeeze.

"Thinking about what happens if this doesn't work," RJ mutters.

"Don't think like that. It's going to work," I say, a determined look on my face.

He gave a small nod and smiled before turning back to the others.

"Alright Gang, this is it," RJ says, walking over in the middle of the group of others with me at his side.

"We're going in," I say, clapping my hands together in excitement.
