The Garfrooms - A Garfield Fanfiction

Level 10

After clenching his eyes closed for a while, Jon opened them again to a large field of wheat stretching as far as the eye could see, he looked around seeing Garfield, Odie, and Liz standing around him. "Where am I? am I in heaven?" he asked the three.

Liz giggled as Garfield thought "Well yes, but actually no." to his owner, however, that was quite a bit shaky considering his record with Jon. "Oh, Jon." Liz told her boyfriend "You are with us, just look at how much there is to explore!" she pointed to somewhere far away with more wheat than in the distance could see.

Jon realised where he was, he was on Level 10, and he was quite happy that he somehow made it to the 11th level of the Backrooms, he looked around, and he saw a dirt path under his feet, he looked at where it was going, he saw nothing but wheat as Liz said, he was happy that he managed to escape from the hell that was Level 9.

Jon got up by clutching onto Liz's hand, Garfield decided to roam around the fields playing a little bit of hide and seek together, Odie could almost see his feline fellow through the wheat and the bulge he made.

"C'mon, boys," Jon told them "We can finally relax and not have to worry about anything." Garfield looked at him with the usual monotone look "You are going to lie aren't you, Jon Arbuckle?" he told him in a monotone thought.

Jon and Liz decided to hold hands for a while, strolling through Level 10 and going through the wheat fields, Odie tried to play some hide and seek but Garfield also found him, mainly because he could hear him running as if he were a horse with a very long neck and ears.

Jon and Liz looked around Level 10, Jon was certainly glad to be walking the wheatfields he saw a puddle of almond water and decided to drink it. Liz was uncertain but she also drank it, the Almond Water tasted very sweet as if they were eating chocolate.

"Y'know Liz, me drinking the Almond Water with my hands reminds me of something." Liz looked at her boyfriend with a slight tint of confusion "What does it remind you of, Jon?" she asked him.

"This reminds me of that time Garfield and I went to Irma's diner, and she talked about how the health department came and took away their glasses to drink and she served water to me in her hands. I was quite shocked." Jon explained to his girlfriend. Liz looked quite shocked hearing this information "I wonder why the health department would do such a thing, why would they take away the diner's glasses?" she asked him, Jon had the same questions as Liz "I have no idea either." he told her.

Meanwhile, Garfield and Odie decided to go find a pool of Alond Water for themselves, Odie could smell the sweetness of another Almond Water pool far away from Jon and Liz, Garfield followed his canine comrade and soon they stumbled upon a pool of Almond Water the depth of a kiddie pool.

Garfield and Odie agreed to jump into the kiddie pool deep Almond Water pool with a splash, they both went back quite far away and ran towards the Almond Water pool, the two jumped into the Almond Water pool with a huge splash that Jon and Liz could see and hear the noise.

"Well, that was fun, Odie," Garfield told him as he was slurping up the ALmond Water and clearly expressing joy at drinking it, Garfield didn't want to be left behind and so he drank some Almond Water as well.

Jon and Liz soon found Garfield and Odie and were surprised to see them playing around as if it were a kiddie pool. "Well Jon, I guess Garfield and Odie really like each other." Liz pointed out, Jon was also interested in this, Garfield and Odie soon came over to the two and the four planned to walk.

Jon, Liz, Garfield, and Odie walked through the fields of wheat and grass, Jon also saw a river that he thought was also Almond Water flowing through the Level, Liz decided to harvest some of the grain and make some bread, and the wheat turned quickly into bread. Liz immediately scoffed through the newly made food.

Jon saw a person in the distance who was approaching very quickly, Jon soon realised that this was the first time that the four had ever seen a Faceling, the face showed itself to be devoid of anything human, it was just a smooth layer of skin that was running towards with a weapon.

"Stand back, everyone!" Jon yelled in a panic, Garfield didn't listen to Jon's command. "Not if I can help it!" he thought to Jon, lunging at the Faceling in the same way as the Skin-Stealer, the Faceling crashed to the ground under Garfield's weight wiggling in the same way as the Skin-Stealer.

The Faceling wiggled around obviously in a desperate attempt to break free from Garfield's weight. "What do you want?" Jon and Liz asked the Faceling in a hostile tone, the Faceling had no mouth and there was only silence when it spoke. "Is there any way to tell him not to do what he does?" Garfield asked them, despite not being able to read his cat's mind Jon understood what his cat was saying. 

"If you don't attack us, we won't do anything to hurt you as well," Jon told the Faceling who now was still knowing that there was no way to break free from Garfield's weight as if he was a piece of paper and Garfield was the paperweight, the Faceling nodded, seemingly in agreement with Jon's demands.

Garfield decided to get off the Faceling after Jon told him to get off of its body, the Faceling was grateful that they weren't crushed by Garfield's weight, Jon, Liz, Garfield, and Odie moved into the slight fog that lay before them, and the Faceling stood there watching the four walking away into the distance.

After a long trek, Liz saw a little village in the distance, she soon realised that it was one of the many civilisations that were in Level 10, she ran over to the village. Jon, Garfield, and Odie followed suit just behind her, Liz started to slow down, and the three also slowed down. they were all confused each other at why they were matching the same speeds.

After the confusion the four made it to the gates of the village, Liz soon realised that this was part of the B.N.T.G. She looked around for the chief, and the three managed to hold their breath and enter the village. Jon, Garfield, and Odie looked around, there were a lot of small shops just like the B.N.T.G base back in Level 1, except for the fact they were smaller, seeming as if they were little huts, Garfield ran around looking for any refreshments.

Jon and Odie followed Garfield, Liz looked behind her and saw the three going into the shops, she decided to no longer search for the chief and instead see what her boyfriend with his pets was doing, Garfield was looking around for shops when he saw a sweet shop, he barged in.

The owner of the shop was shocked to see a fat orange cat on the premises, just as he was about to say something Jon soon came in and explained what was going on.

"Ahh!" The shop owner exclaimed, "I just have the treat for Garfield." He threw an odd-looking treat at Garfield which he caught immediately. "This is a 'Silver Tongue', eat it and you will speak." He explained.

Liz came in as Garfield ate the treat leaving a slight silver layer on his tongue, "Hello, Liz" Garfield told her in a monotone voice "How are you doing?" Jon didn't expect the Silver Tongue to work the way the shop owner said it would.

Jon was not the only one who was shocked. Liz and Odie were amazed and terrified by what just happened. "I told you it was going to work." He told the four smugly. Garfield realising that he could talk with people asked the shop owner how they could get out.

After much talking, Garfield finally got the answers he wanted and told them to the other three, Jon, Liz, Garfield, and Odie exited the village and walked far and wide through the fields of wheat and puddles of Almond Water.

Garfield and Odie jumped into each puddle of Almond Water with a splash, Jon and Liz soon saw a piece of grey in the distance. Garfield and Odie saw the grey bit as well.

"Hooray!" Jon and Garfield exclaimed with glee, dancing, as Jon was dancing the same way he did at the disco club a long time ago Garfield was also dancing in delight.

The four congregated at the road. "Well boys, We are going to go to Level 11!" Jon exclaimed.

The four walked on the road.
