The Secret Life of Pets: Max x Gidget

Chapter 23: Babysit?!

Max's Pov

"Man I love this show!" Duke said, laughing.

"I know right!?" I said, catching my breath. "This is one of the funniest shows, if not, the funniest show I've every seen!"

"Oh man! I haven't laughed so hard in forever."

"Like I said, it will have you dying."

"Well, I didn't expect it to be this good!"

"Bro, whenever would I lie?"

"For dog treats, or Gidget?"

"...Okay maybe for those."

Right now Duke and I were watching a very funny show called Blackish. I've heard of it before, and when I first saw it, I was on the floor laughing my tail off.

The show finally went off, letting Duke and I catch our breaths.

"Well I gonna go out with the guys," Duke said. "We about to find us some girls."

"Alright," I replied. "Good luck."

Then he left, leaving me alone.

I continued watching TV. It's a nice day right now. I have nothing to worry about. I have all day to do whatever. Now I can relax. Just, relax.

Well that's what I thought until someone knocked on the door.

"Who can that be?" I asked myself.

I know it can't be Katie, because it's early for her to come home, and if she did, she would have walked in like she owned the place, which she does. So it must be another human.

Someone knocked again, but I heard an animal noise.

Okay​, now I'm curious, I thought. Who is it?

I looked at the lock. I can try unlocking it. I reached for the lock and messed with it, until I heard a click. I opened the door, and what I saw was weird, questioning, and confusing.

There was an ape with a shirt, pants, a helmet, a pencil banana, and a diaper on the outside of his pants.

"What the?" I said.

"Hi, wanna see my banana?" the ape asked.

"Wha-? Who are you? And where did you come from?"

"Oh, my name's Jeffy. You see, it says it on my shirt. Jef-fy."

"Okay, Jeffy, but..." I noticed a sticky note on his shirt. "...wait what's that sticky note on your shirt say?"

"Oh, it says I'm a good boy."

I took the sticky note an read it.

"Please babysit for the day. We'll be back. Sorry!?"

"It says I'm a good boy."

"No! It says to babysit you! But...where are your parents!?"

"They had to go somewhere."

"Then why didn't they take you with them!?"

He didn't even answer me. He slowly raised the banana and asked, "See my banana."

"Yeah, but-"

"I'm gonna put it in my nose."

"No! Don't do that!"

"Why?"

"Because that's not even a banana, it's a pencil that looks like a banana."

"Why?"

"I don't know, but don't put it in your nose."

"Why?"
