Odie fell out of his seat, Garfield covered his ears. The wall tumbled down, the rest of the house falling with it. The scent of lasagna leaking into the air. When the dust cleared, Jon was nowhere to be seen.
"Arf!" Odie called out. And it was clear Jon had been snatched by one of the president's robot cats.
"Help! Garfield! Odie! Ahhhh!"
He couldn't budge from the android's metal claws.
"Lasagna.. Detected." Beeped the feline. It sent out a laser shot and the lasagna turned to ash right on impact.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Garfield echoed.
The robot threw Jon over its shoulder and its rocket boots shot out fire.
"You will be.. Terminated."
The robot flew away and took Jon with it.
"Helllllp!"
Jon's last cry for help echoed, and he was carried away far, far off into the sky.
"Odie, we may never get to eat lasagna again. No Jon means no one to cook, and that means no food!"
This was a nightmare come true, it would only be worse if today was a Monday.
"Arf arf, bark."
"We should make a plan" Garfield agreed. "That's not my strong suit though, I'll let you come up with it."
He sat in the rubble of the house, and Odie took over thinking duty. Of course, they needed to rescue Jon.. How? What would someone smarter than the two pets do here.. That's it!
"Arf arf arf!" Odie barked out
"Liz and Arlene?"
"Good idea. They probably have this all thought out by now."
