The Garfrooms - A Garfield Fanfiction

Level 1

After Jon fell, from the yellow maze he woke up to see Garfield and Odie beside him, Jon initially expected to die from falling, but he was proven wrong. "Where am I?" he asked the two surveying the area around him. "Welcome to the warehouse, Jon," Garfield told him with a sarcastic smile.

"Garfield is right, it is a warehouse." Jon thought to himself, the warehouse was made from concrete from the floor to the walls, there was also exposed rebar along the walls, there was some fog in front of the three, and there were puddles that were inconsistent, most likely because of the fog condensing, Jon was no longer worried about sensory deprivation unlike with the previous level.

"Where should we go?" Jon asked the two, and Garfield responded, "The only way to go is forward." Odie yipped in agreement, and Jon agreed, saying "Yeah, you're right." soon the three walked forward to the first flight of steps. they made a banging sound that was similar to when Jon played with the metal playsets in the park that he went to with his family.

As soon as the three went up the stairs, they saw a base that was just in front of them, with people standing by it, Jon was confused and shocked at this discovery. "There are people here in this place?!" he thought to himself, trying to keep a calm demeanor. as soon as they were about to walk, one of the people beside the base exclaimed "Halt! Who are you?", Jon was shocked by this and tried to muster a response "M- m- m-..." Garfield tapped the guard's leg "Give the dipwad a chance to speak." he suggested, the guard read his mind and agreed with his suggestion "So... what is your name, wanderer?" the guard asked Jon, Jon managed to muster a response "My name is Jon Arbuckle, I am glad to meet you. This is Garfield, my cat, and this is Odie, a dog of my friend, Lyman." "Nice to meet you, Jon. My name is Gerald." the guard loosened his harsh demeanor "Would you mind telling me how you got here?"

"Okay... where to start?" Jon thought to himself, and he soon came up with a story. "So, It was a Monday when I woke up and made my pet's food, Lasgana for Garfield, and a Bone for Odie. I placed the food a little funny and then it started shaking, which led to us being here." Jon explained. Gerald recognized this and understood what Jon was talking about. "Well, Jon, I work for the M.E.G., We protect wanderers like you and your pets. We help with survival and how to escape. Would you like supplies like food and water?" Jon was shocked at this generosity "Of course! How could I turn it down?" "Sure thing, Jon." Gerald responded "Let me get some information for you." he gave a Jon futuristic-looking tablet and told him that this was the data for the "Backrooms" "It seems you have managed to get past Level 0 somehow. I am impressed!" Gerald exclaimed, "I am really confused about this...  what are the 'Backrooms'?" Jon asked him.

Gerald went on a little speech about the Backrooms and how each of the levels is more dangerous and safer than others, there are also things called "entities" that either was mostly harmless or were out of your blood. Jon shuddered at this thought, Gerald continued saying that were a lot of levels, and the backrooms would most likely go on forever. "But I don't want to stay here forever, I want to get back home!" he exclaimed in a panic when it dawned on him. "You might get out of here, Jon." Gerald did his best to assure him.

"Oh, Boy, I am hungry I want some Lasagna!" Garfield thought to himself, rubbing his tummy to indicate his hunger to the three, "I see your Cat is starving." Gerald commented to Jon, and Jon responded with "I am quite hungry as well like Garfield, Do you have any place that we can eat? like a restaurant or something? You did mention giving us supplies." Geral understood what Jon was talking about.

"I understand Jon, fortunately, we have Tom's diner, I think you will enjoy the food!" he told Jon, Garfield was shocked at this and demanded where Tom's diner is, it was just a flight of stairs away, Garfield ran up the stairs very quickly that Jon and Odie couldn't keep up after Garfield saw Tom's diner he was exhausted yet proud of his achievement.
