CatNap had been in his house for almost a week straight. No one not even DogDay has been able to convince the feline to come out and talk to them. At first they assumed the worst, until he spoke to them.

"I'm planning on moving away."

That broke DogDay's heart. He tried to convince CatNap to stay in the neighborhood with everyone. No one besides Kicken, Hoppy, DogDay, and Bobby knew why CatNap felt as of he could no longer stay with everyone.

Kicken knocked on the door, "CatNap, listen man. I'm sorry that I pushed you to tell me and Hoppy everything. That was wrong of me. To make you feel better do you wanna know why I moved here?"

"No. Go away." CatNap hissed

The chicken frowned, "Please man. Everyone is worried about you, especially DogDay. The poor guy is barely taking care of himself."

CatNap looked at the door. He thought about opening the door and running off to see DogDay, but he just couldn't. He heard Kicken sigh and walk away.

Every single day for a week straight, everyone in the neighborhood tried to convince CatNap to stay. DogDay was their only hope.

The canine softly knocked on the door, "CatNap.'

The feline jumped down from his bedroom balcony and stood at the door.

"I don't know, how to convince you to stay here with everyone. All I can think of is begging and that's something I don't do. Please don't leave. We all want you here. I want you here. It will never be the same without you. Please don't leave me."

CatNap his behind the door and opened it. DogDay slowly walked in feeling out of place inside of the feline's home.

CatNap looked at him, "Why haven't you been taking care of yourself?" CatNap asked him

"I have been. Who told you that I wasn't?"

"Kicken."

DogDay remained silent for a moment, "I won't lie to you, Kitty. In the beginning when you said that you were leaving, I just couldn't function. So around that time it was true. Picky, Bobby, and Bubba helped me out of that little funk."

CatNap hugged him, "As long as you're taking care of yourself."

"I meant every word I said. I don't want you to leave."

"I've been thinking... Maybe I won't... If everyone will still accept me."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to tell them the truth. The real reason as to why I moved here."

"You don't have to."

"I want to. Can you get everyone and meet me in the middle on the neighborhood?"

They pulled away from the hug and DogDay nods. Before he left he kissed CatNap on the forehead. CatNap smiled knowing damn well how DogDay feels about him and he feels the same way. Neither of them have said the words to make their relationship true, but they don't have to say a word to know how the other one feels.

...

After getting everyone in the middle of the neighborhood. CatNap walked up and told in front of everyone.

"I've decided to tell you all why I moved here. This is the truth, nothing will be fabricated." CatNap said

"You don't have to tell us anything. Like DogDay has said, everyone has their reasons." Bubba told him

"I want to. If I move or not, I feel like you all deserve the truth." CatNap told him

"Whenever you're ready Kitty." DogDay said

CatNap took a deep breath, "So first things first. I'm actually pretty famous. Back home not a lot of us have our own unique scents. When people started to find out I was taken to multiple doctors to find out why I always smelled like lavender. They could never find out why. Because of that reason I became famous. I was out into shows, movies, commercials, I even had a few camoes in video games. I was everywhere.

"Soon the fame was starting to get to me. I didn't get caught up in it, more like I wanted it to disappear. It had gotten so bad that I had been kidnapped a few times. I was held for ransom and at gunpoint. I just wanted everything go stop. Then things had gotten bad. A fan had ran up to me and wanted to to sign a CD case for an album they had me make. So I did without a problem. Soon enough I was swarmed, people wanted pictures, they wanted me to sign things. I was getting overwhelmed.

" Next thing I know someone is screaming and my claws are coated with blood. I had scratched someone across the face. I ran away like a coward and his from everyone. The police found me and took me home. The person didn't want to press charges or anything. They just couldn't believe that the damage wasn't that bad. I decided to love away. My parents didn't want me to and locked me in the basement for weeks.

"Eventually I broke out and ran away. The police couldn't do anything cause I'm an adult. I still make income due to all of the stuff that I did. But yeah... That's why I moved here. To get away from everything and everyone. And it all started with my scent."

The others remained sent for a while until Hoppy broke the silence, "Thank god! I thought you were going to say that you murdered someone."

"No, I hurt someone. I don't even know why they didn't press charges. They're half blind now because of me." CatNap told her

DogDay walked up to him, "Can I hug you?"

CatNap hugged him, "You don't have to ask."

"So why are they staying that you're still producing music and everything?" Kicken asked him

"That's easy, CGI and you can use clips of someone's voice to make them say anything." CatNap explained

"Can you sue them for using your image without you're permission?" Picky asked

"He can actually and I would suggest that he does." Bubba pointed out

"I would rather not. That too much work and I don't want to be in the spotlight again." CatNap explained, "I'm glad that you all aren't mad at me for hiding that from you all."

"Why would we be mad? Me and Hoppy started this whole things just because we are nosy little assholes." Kicken laughed

Hoppy punched him on the shoulder, "You're the nosy asshole. I just wanted to know if the article was true. You kept on pestering the poor guy!"

CatNap broke the hug, "Looks like I'm staying then."

Everyone hugged him causing him to smile and let out a little laugh. He snuggled into DogDay since he was pushed closer to the feline causing him to purr.
