The Garfrooms - A Garfield Fanfiction

Level 18

After Jon, Liz, Lyman, Garfield, and Odie found the exit from the naval craft, they found themselves in a kiddy place that had a ball pit and other relics from their childhood, Jon was not expecting to be in such as place and nor was the other four. 

"I wonder where we are?" Jon asked the other four "any ideas?", after a bit of thinking, Liz was the first to reply to Jon's question saying "I think we are in our childhood memories." she explained to her boyfriend, Jon was really thankful for Liz's response replying back "Thank you, baby."

"I would prefer if didn't call me baby... ever," Liz explained, Jon felt a little embarrassed by this slipup that he committed, but he thought to himself that the past was the past, and for better or for worse there is nothing he can do to change it. "What should we do now?" Lyman asked Jon and Liz, and by extension Garfield and Odie.

"I think we should leave." Garfield thought first, the rest were not in the same position as Garfield however, Jon, Liz, and Odie decided to stay here for a while to take a break and relax for a while to prepare for Level 19.

Garfield was quite frustrated but he knew he couldn't do much, but when he saw the ball pit he had an idea, "Why not challenge Odie to a ball pit duel?" he thought to himself running towards it, Oide realised what was going on and followed suite, Jon was captivated by the two compete for who would get to the pit first.

Not wanting to feel left out, Jon and Lyman decided to run into the ball pit as well, Garfield and Odie were not expecting such actions, to Garfield, it was almost like that time when he entered the kiddie pool with a splash that terrified Jon, and now the tables turned.

As Liz watched from a distance the four ought each other by throwing plastic balls at each other's faces, Odie, Lyman, and Jon were facing the most fun while Garfield was lying there as if he was floating above the water, Jon was still perplexed at how he was about to float on the water despite the fact that he could pin an entity like the Skin-Stealer down.

After a while, the four were bored after playing in the ball pit and they got out. "What else to do?" Lyman asked Jon and by extension Liz, after thinking for a while, Liz saw a basketball ring that she remembered seeing. "Wanna play Basketball?" she asked the four.

While Garfield was not really enthusiastic about playing Basketball, Jon, Lyman, and Odie were fine with the suggestion and the four played the game of basketball with Garfield being a spectator, with Jon and Lyman competing against Liz and Odie.

There was very little competition, Liz and Odie made a very great team against Jon and Lyman, Jon and Lyman only scored a one-to-five ratio in terms of points, and after a while, the two were exhausted and the game ended with Liz and Odie winning the game.

Jon wanted to engage in some conversation with his girlfriend, so he asked how she managed to get into the Backrooms. "Well..." Liz was about to start "As I said, I hit myself against the table that I treat Garfield and Odie and I fell through into Level 0."

Jon and Lyman were quite engaged with Liz's story and she continued "While I have heard and read about the Backrooms, I always thought that it was a piece of fiction, and as a result, I was not expecting to be here, I thought I would just get a slightly damaged hip but not some liminal space."

Jon agreed with Liz's sentiment about how he thought it was going to be just a small inconvenient and not snowball into this, Liz continued her story "I was trying to remember how I could get out of Level 0, I heard a lot of monster noises... and as you can imagine I was terrified." Jon sympathised with his girlfriend's situation, and Lyman also felt a bit of sympathy, especially the part where he thought it was a piece of fiction, he never expected it to also be real.

"I, fortunately, made it out of Level 0 by no-clipping out of Level 0 and into Level 1, and Level 1 was a blessing, it was the level where I got the tablet that you and Lyman got, and I ate some food at Tom's diner, I ate a salad with some meat.", Jon decided to join in the conversation with his own take on the events that happened to him, Garfield, and Odie. "I really enjoyed the food at Tom's diner, I also went to the B.N.T.G base and collected 20 bottles of Almond Water."

Liz realised that Jon was talking about "I also went to B.N.T.G base, but they weren't as generous with giving me supplies, they gave me five bottles of Almond Water and seeing that I was a vet, they gave me a first aid kit." she responded, "It's better than nothing." Jon told Liz.

Liz nodded her head in agreement with Jon and she continued her story "I was walking around Level 1 until I somehow ended up in Level 2, I checked the tablet and soon realised that I just had to walk across a corridor to get to Level 2." she told the two

"How was Level 2?" Lyman asked her who was slightly exhausted from the basketball game, Liz still continued her story in response to Lyman's question "It was quite difficult but it wasn't hard to traverse to, Level 3 was something else." he ended her story.

"And then I found you," Jon concluded the story. "And then you four found me!" Lyman truly concluded, Liz looked at the both of them with a smile, Garfield and Odie were sleeping when Liz was telling the two her story.

"I wonder how we get out," Jon asked the four, Garfield and Odie woke up, and they ran towards the door that they entered the level into, "Garfield! Odie!" Jon exclaimed chasing them into the darkness, Lyman and Liz followed suit.
