"I Puss In Boots, am the greatest dodger ever! Ow!" Puss got hit with a dodgeball by Cleevil.

"Hahahaha! Your out!!" Cleevil laughed and then Puss did too.
The orphans were looking from a far smiling and laughing at Puss getting hit with the ball.

"You would think you would be good at dodging a ball since you dodge lots of things in your life time!" Cleevil laughed.

"Well I've never played games like this before!" Puss said as he caught the ball Cleevil tossed.

"Really!? You've never played games like this when you were younger? How old are you Senior Puss?"

Puss opened his mouth to answer, but closed his mouth not knowing the answer. He stared at the ball in his hands.

"Oh...I get it...making suspense, but come on just tell me!" Cleevil said.

"Actually, I have no idea what age I am honestly, I could be 30? 40? 9? No defiantly not 9 that wouldn't make sense."

Cleevil looked at Puss confused, so did the other orphans.

"How do you not how old you are? Like don't you know when your birthday is?" Toby asked.

"Nope! Only a maybe birthday which is not accurate! But it doesn't matter, Cleevil just show me how to play Dodge ball the correct way Tomorrow. I have to meet up with Dulcinea by her flower garden. Puss then tossed the ball back to Cleevil but it was pit of bounced.

"Heh, sorry good day Amigos!" Puss then ran away.

Dulcinea was sitting on a picnic mat at her flower garden reading. She then saw Puss who had one arm behind his back. She pleaded her book aside and Puss sat next to her.

"¡Hola Dulcinea!"

"Heheheh hello Puss, what is behind your back?" She asked.
Puss smiled wider and he pulled out a rose that was red. Dulcinea gasped happily and took it from Puss's paws.

"Thank you Puss!" She said and smelled it.

"Your welcome Señorita, anyways how was your day?"

"Oh you know, same old, helping the orphans with there activities. I saw you and Cleevil  playing Dodgeball, she kept on getting you out!"
She started laughing. Puss's face was scratched up and then laughed.

"Psssst!"

Dulcinea looked over over and saw the Orphans gesturing Dulcinea to come over.

"Uh, Puss give me a second!" She said, Puss nodded.

"Children? What's wrong?"

"Dulcinea do you know how old Puss is?" Cleevil asked

"Why no, why?"

"Well Senior Puss doesn't know either! And get this! He hasn't even played dodgeball before until we played it earlier!" Cleevil shouted.

"Really? I never knew that he was that much of an orphan."

"I have an idea..." Dulcinea said and she started whispering in the huddle.


THE NEXT DAY
Puss woke up to a noise of a Gobflute. He groaned and sat up, he grabbed his hat and placed it on his head and grabbing his sword. And went down to the cantina to see no one.

"What? Where is Pajuna? And isn't it rush hour this early?"

Puss walked out of the cantina and saw everyone staring at him.

"Uhh? Is everything okay?"

"Hey Puss! Catch!!" A ball was thrown and Puss caught it.

"We were thinking. Of maybe of all of us having a game of dodge ball!" Dulcinea said.

"Really?" Puss asked confused.

"Yeah! How about it Laddie!? Want to play a big Dodgeball game for the first time?" Pajuna asked.

Puss nodded with a smile.
