Chapter XXII

                                       A Close Shave

It was early morning at the Starsky burrow, and Mozart had awoken first,
and had done all the morning duties.De La Soul, and Kinkajou soon got up
to.Infact the three were the only ones that came out.With Carlose's death,
and Kinkajou's litter being killed by Sudan the rest of the group had
either died, or left.Kinkajou had turned out to be a downright failiure of
a leader, because she only ever thought of herself.But De La Soul had a
secret weapon.Having been evicted so many times had prepared Mozart for a
dangerous experience in the wild.

"Kink, I think if you hadn't of taken control of the group we'd all still
be here,"said Mozart.

"Well who cares about the others, atleast I'm still here,"said Kinkajou.

The two kept arguing.

"Quiet!"Yelled De La Soul, and she started attacking Kinkajou, until
Kinkajou ran behind Mozart like a Springhare being chased by a Jackal.

"If were all gonna survive we've gotta work together you two no matter how
much you hate each other, now let's go foraging so hopefully a roving male
will come by, and one of us will become dominant female,"said De La Soul.

"What a exellent idea so glad I thought of it, come on rats," ordered
Kinkajou.So the three set of trying to turn their luck around, but will
they find success in the places they look.

Meanwhile the Whisker's were out foraging, or atleast trying to.Pups are
never easy to teach foraging to, especially if they belong to the ever
competitive, and very, very mean Maybeline.Rocket Dog's position was still
not secure enough for her to be a full dominant, but each day she was
getting closer to putting Maybeline in her place. Then all of a
sudden...........

"A Owl!"Yelled Axel.

A huge Eagle Owl was pearched in a nearby baobab.This predator was to weak
to pick up a adult meerkat, but could easily devour a pup.

"Let us mob this predator!"Yelled Larry (wich was Mc Murphie's real name,
and what we'll be calling him from now on).

So the group started mobbing the predator until she flew away.

Back at the Starsky burrow Mozart was sitting alone.While they tried to
forage (with only three members) Hanibal had spotted them, and chased them
of.But only Mozart made it back to the burrow.De La Soul, and Kinkajou
were missing.Mozart felt sorry for them (even Kinkajou, because Mozart is
very loving), but she was glad she'd made it back safe.It really was a
close shave.

Chapter XXIII

                                      The Last Starsky

While Mozart was battleing the Kalahari, Kinkajou was battleing a stupid,
lattea loving Bat-Eared Fox named Stimpy.He had stolen her radio collar,
and was now wearing it around his neck.Kinkajou had chased him for over a
hour all around Kalahari County.

"Give it back you lattea lovin, bat-eared freak!"Yelled Kinkajou.

"Yah gotta catch me first Kink!"Yelled Stimpy.

Soon the cahse had gone on for so long that Kinkajou couldn't remember
when they even started anymore.Then when Kinkajou thought she was going to
get her collar back, Stimpy held out half a empty watermelon, and Kinkajou
ran into it.Then Stimpy got out the other half, duck taped them together,
put air holes in it, and sent Kinkajou flowing down the Big River in it(we
call it the Okavango Delta).

"Bon Voyage Kink, it was nice playin tag with yah!"Yelled Stimpy.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!"Growled Kinkajou.

Eventually she managed to break free, and soon got back to the Starsky
burrow, where Mozart was waiting.

"Where were you, and why are you covered in watermelon seeds?"Asked Mozart.

Kinkajou told her about what Stimpy had done, and that De La Sould was
probably killed by Hanibal.The two meerkats then went underground to
sleep, but only Mozart felt sorry for her good friend De La Soul.

The next day Mozart was once again up first, and did the morning
duties.Kinkajou woke up half a hour later.The two then went out foraging,
but if they thought foraging with three was hard, foraging with two is
nearly impossible.Then........

"Thunderstorm!"Yelled Mozart.

A big thunderstorm was heading towards them.The two ran into the burrow,
with only each other to keep them warm.

The Whiskers however had it alot better.They had a nice big burrow, and
the it was all nice, and warm inside thanks to Einstien's newly invented
Meerkat Burrow Heating System.

The next morning Mozart awoke up first, again.Infact she was the only one
who came out of the burrow that morning.Kinkajou didn't make it through
the night.She had died from the very feared meerkat disease called
Tuberculosis (called TB for short).Mozart tried to rejoin the Whiskers (as
she had been one once), but she was mistaken for Kinkajou, and was chased
of.Mozart was the last Starsky

  Chapter XXIV

                                   Wilson Ventures Out

Summer had ended in the Kalahari.The lions, and hyenas would be relying
mostly on animals like meerkats for food until spring.However the way the
Comandos were acting, you'd have thought it was the begening of
summer.They were still gloating over the land they had stolen from the
Whiskers in the blood battle last winter. Wilson however had hated the
things his father Hanibal had done, so he decided to leave the Comandos to
seek out a new, and more peaceful life.

Meanwhile at the Whiskers burrow, Rocket Dog had the morning duties
running like clock work.Since she was doing so well leading the group, it
didn't hurt to rub Maybeline's nose in it.

"You are the most successful leader we've ever had Rocky,"said Sophie.

"Oh well, I couldn't do all I do right now without the help from the best
helpers ever,"said Rocket Dog.

All of a sudden Rocket Dog  smelt a Comando.She was about to raise the
alarm, when she saw it was a roving male.Though the Whiskers didn't share
such a good relationship with the Comandos, but seeing the chance of being
able to mate was to much to resist.

"This could be my chance to get rid of Maybeline,"thought Rocket Dog, and
it was.

If she was able to mate with this mystery male, it would give her another
excuse to evict Maybeline, and a good one.As she got closer she saw it was
the new dude, Wilson.He was Hanibal's son, but being so eager to get rid
of Maybeline for good, she didn't care who her knight in shining armor
was.

After two hours, Wilson was humping Rocket Dog.But just then another
roving male appeared, but Rocket Dog could tell who this one was from the
start.It was Zaphod.He had lost his looks, and his charms after getting a
scar as a present from a jackal.Wilson did not want to start a fight, so
he ran of before Zaphod raised the alarm.Zaphod had come back to regain
dominance, but because Wilson may have mated with Rocket Dog, he could be
to late.

Chapter XXV

                                    Loving to the End

Wilson had know idea of what to do or where to go now, so he just started
walking into the Wastelands.The only meerkats that lived here were some
small isolated groups, a few evicted females, and some rovers.

"I don't think I'll find anyone to mate with here, this place is so dried
up!"Yelled out Wilson.

Infact he yelled so loud that birds started flying everywhere.Then a
stampeed of African Buffalo came charging towards him.He quickly dashed
for cover into the nearest bolthole, and he started to slide down.But all
of a sudden.....

"Ouch!"Yelled Wilson, and another voice.

Wilson had bashed into a lone female meerkat.But this female was no
ordinary female.It was the Kalahari's queen of love Mozart.

"Mozart, oh great, lovely Mozart, let us mate now, oh beautiful
Mozart,"proclaimed Wilson.

Of all meerkats that shared a good history with the Comandos (wich were
few), Mozart was absolutley not one of them, but being so eager to rebuild
the Starsky she said.....

"Oh yes dear, and handsome Wilson, let us mate."

So the two went above ground, and mated like no meerkat ever had before
(for four hours).Then after all the pressure of mating Wilson, and Mozart
went underground to have a romantic dinner (even though their parents
hated each other).But then the two heard a huge lightning strike.Lightning
had struck a acacia tree, and had started a wild fire.The two just stayed
underground.

The Whiskers however were having troule.Maybeline was lost in the fire,
and Axel had gone out to find her, and Bad Boy Bubby was putting some fire
on a candle, and naming it Hubert.When everything had been done they ran
into the burrow.

The next day Wilson, and Mozart awoke to see that the once plentiful
feeding ground they had found yesterday, had turned into the land of
nothing at all.Wilson set out to see what his father was doing now.He
wanted Mozart, to stay back, but she insisted on going so eventually he
had to get in.When they finally got to Comando Territory, they saw they
were in war with the Whiskers.

"Hey Wilson we need you get over here,"said Grog.

Wilson didn't know what to do, but he had to go.He did what looked like he
was fighting Rocket Dog, but was actually only pretending to (he winked at
her before he started).Mozart decided maybe she should've stayed home, so
she went back to her bolthole.

When the war was over Wilson went to see Mozart, but she wasn't there.She
was back at he burrow.The two each spent a lonely night apart.

"Wilson, oh Wilson, where for art thow Wilson,"said Mozart gazing at the
Moon.

Wilson was also gazing at the Moon as he sang his love songs.

Next morning the Whiskers heard a knock at their burrow entrance (wich is
hard to hear when someone is knocking on sand).Einstien went to the door,
and found Wilson.

"Oh fancy seeing you here,"said Einstien.

"Yah, well I have something to tell you Smartstien,"said Wilson.

"That you almost killed my sister,"said Einstien shuting the door.

"No that Mozart is dead,"said Wilson.

Einstien opened the door again, and let Wilson in.

Mozart was burried in a gold coffin, and a gold tombstone was put over her
(both made by Einstien), and there was a glorious funeral for her.

This occasion marked the end to the glorious story of Mozart.A meerkat who
was loving to the end, and put others above herself.She was one of the
most unfortunate meerkats in the Kalahari, but may now also be one of the
most well remembered. Mozart was a glorious leader of the Starsky while
she regined, and a loving, and caring mother.The Kalahari has lost it's
favorite rose, Mozart.Mozart was one of the greatest meerkats in history,
and was never to be forgotten.

Chapter XXVI

The Sun shone over another glorious morning in the Kalahari.All of the
Whiskers (except Maybeline) were planning a suprise for Rocket Dog.While
Axel distracted her Einstein, and the others prepared a beautiful cake for
her.Then after Axels tenth round of ninja chess with Rocket Dog, he told
her he had something to show her outside.When she opened the door the led
outside the burrow.........

"Supise!"Yelled everyone.

Happy Season Finally Rocky,"said Axel.

"Oh, how sweet of you all, and you made a cake, let's eat it now,"said
Rocket Dog.

So everyone had sweet, delicious cake for breakfast.

After the big celebration, the Whiskers did the morning duties, and then
went out to do some foraging.Maybeline was very upset.It was clear Rocket
Dog's position as dominant female was secure so she had little chance of
taking over the group. However she decided to try one more time.

"Come on Rocket Dog, let's see who's dominant now,"said Maybeline.

There were three fights, and Rocket Dog won them all.

"Einstein, I've dealed with Maybeline long enough, and if she keeps
battling me we'll never get anywhere in life, so since you're so wise I
would like to ask you what should I do?"Asked Rocket Dog.

"I don't know, you could allways evict her, or kill her pups, but I would
choose evicting her,"said Einstien.

"Exellent idea, but Maybeline only wants to be a dominant,"said Rocket Dog.

"I suggest, you see who's loyal to you, and who's loyal to Maybeline; the
ones who are loyal to you can stay here, and the others can leave with
Maybeline,"suggested Eisntien.

"It would make the group weaker, but I believe that's the only way we can
finally have some peace, and get on with more important buisness like
finding a roving male,"said Rocket Dog.

So Rocket Dog climbed up on the Big Rock, and said a speach that changed
the coarse of Meerkat History.

"May it be so that they who are loyal to me remain in this safe haven, and
may it be so that they who are loyal to Maybeline go with her, and be cast
out from our group forever more," announced Rocket Dog.

It was clear that Maybeline was evicted.She want to rule the Whiskers, ut
she ahd no choice.Rocket Dog was the clear aporpriate ruler of the
Whisker's, and had won every fight the two had had.So Maybeline took
several adults, her pups, and she kidnapped one of Daisie's pups, and left
the Whiskers, never to return.

Chapter XXVII

                          The Grand Finally

Soon after Maybeline's new, vicious, war like group the Aztects had left
the Whiskers for good, Rocket Dog, and the 32 members that stayed loyal to
her went back to the main burrow.

Daisie's pup that didn't get abandoned (we'll call him George), missed his
sister ( we'll call her Olivia) who had gotten kidnapped by Maybeline.

"Hey Rocket Dog, how competitive is Maybeline?"Asked Axel.

"Competitive enough, to leave a leader's only choice is to separate the
group," answered Rocket Dog.

"Like Kinkajou, and Hanibal?"Asked Axel.

"Yes, just like Kinkajou, and Hanibal, worse even,"said Rocket Dog.

"Um, Axel I was wondering, the two pups we have left are very frightened,
and I was wondering if you could watch them while I make dinner?"Asked
Sophie.

Axel, knowing what it was like to be frightened, after being abandoned by
his group, went to cheer up the pups.

"It looks like this'll be a sad endin after all,"sighed Axel, after his
sixth round of ninja chess with the pups.

Meanwhile the Aztects were foraging on the Kalahari's emergency food
supplies, Ants.Maybeline had not only got her group lost, but she had
forgot one important thing.She hadn't prepared a burrow for her group to
sleep in, so she just took them to the nearest bolt hole, and made themm
sleep there.It was ver uncomforatble, but not all the animals there where
unhappy.Stimpy the lattea, loving Bat-Eared Fox had found a chance to have
some fun.

"Man, I gotta admit, tha does look comfy!"Laughed Stimpy.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr!Growled Maybeline.

The next morning the Aztects awoke only to find a familiar group staring
at them.It was the Zappa.This group was a complete enemy of the Whiskers,
and their relations, and with Punk having newborn pups, Maybeline has lead
her group into the lions den.

"Attaaaaaack!"Yelled Houdini.

"Ruun!"Yelled Maybeline.

But just then the rest of the Whiskers came.The two groups worked
together, and successfully defeated the Zappa.Punk, Houdini, and their
group ran away, never to return to their old territory.This was the last
war the two groups won as a complete family.With the Whiskers, Aztects,
Comandos, and other groups all fighting for the best land, it seems like
things in the Whiskers will never be the same.





Through Season 3 the Whiskers fought tough battles, and won great
victories.The unfortunate did not make it.Season 3 was a Season of
happiness, triumph, and sad to say tragety.It was fun writing this story,
and thank you everyone who said you liked it. I'll be back to write next
season.Good Bye.

Part 3 By Flower Whiskers

Chapter XIV

                             Sadness turns to happiness

Meanwile the rest of the Whiskers were trying to find a food.Rocket Dog
had heard of what the Zappa had done, and was furious with them.

"Come group we must move on there's no food here,"said Rocket Dog."Okay
sis, let's move,"said Columbus,"theres food to eat, and new lands to
discover."So the Whiskers set of.Rocket Dog had put Einstien in charge of
making sure Daisy, and Maybeline new their place.

One hour later the Whiskers still hadn't found a feeding ground.Rocket Dog
was pooped, and stopped to rest.Then something happend.She gave birth.Her
pups were premature though.Everyone did all they could to help them
(except the two competaters), but soon it was clear they wern't gonna make
it.Daisy, and Maybeline were happy.Now one of them might become dominant
female.Then something happend.....

"Rain, it's rainin yahoo!"Yelled Spud.The bugs crawled out of the sand.The
time of plenty had come.But before they started foraging, the meerkats
burried Rocket Dog's pups.Lots of food was the very thing Rocket Dog
needed to feel better.What was once a place of nothing, was now a lush
feeding ground, and the Whisker's owned it.

The next day the Whisker's awoke to a glorious morning.Life had had come
back to the Kalahari, and now that there was bigger prey to hunt the lions
wouldn't be as much as a threat as they were during the dry season.Then
Einstien saw something...

"The Comandos!"He yelled."Now's your chance Rocky if you can defeat
Hanibal you can defeat anyone,"said Sophie in her English acent."Okay
everyone charge!" Comanded Rocket Dog.The to groups quickly war danced
towards each other.But soon war dancing turned into happy scent
marking.What was thought to be the Comandos, was actually Mitch with the
rest of the Whiskers.Flower charged at Rocket Dog to regain dominance, but
Rocket dog didn't want to be dominant female anymore so she just let
Flower be dominant.She didn't want to fight anyway.

"Um I see you two rule brakers are gonna have to have some
punishment,"said Flower pointing to Daisy, and Maybeline.The two were not
so happy now.Flower will have to decide wether to evict them, or let them
stay.Most likley it'll be the first choice.

Chapter XV

                             From Zappa to Whisker

It was a glorious day for the Whiskers.They had arrived home early from a
good days foraging.Einstien had stayed home to work on a walker for
Flower's soon to come pups.While he was still working the rest of the
Whiskers were getting on with the evening duties.Everyone one was glad,
except Daisy, and Maybeline.They had never dreamed that their so
competitive spirits would possibly cause them to soon get evicted.Flower
was still deciding what to do with the to trouble makers, as she was due
to give birth tonight, and two pregnant females might do exactly what that
sneaky fat kat Kinkajou had done.Soon the group went into their burrow to
rest.

Meanwhile at the lion territory Sudan had removed Jenina from the throne,
and chose Kenya her neese to be his wife.Jenina left the group, and was
now a lone female.Only time will tell if she'll start a new group.

The next day the Whiskers had woken up to a glorious new day.Flower's flat
stomach was proof she had given birth.Daisy, and Maybeline were now as
worried as ever, but for some reason Flower let them stay.Einstien who had
been working all night had found a easy way to get out of working.He
decided to just rest.Mitch decided it would be better if Einstien went to
the burrow to rest.Einstien agreed, and went to his room to go to sleep.

Meanwhile at the Zappa Punk, and Houdini were planning to raid the
Whiskers again seeing how successful they'd been the last two times.Infact
they felt so sure they'd win they took their newest pups Axel, Rose, and
Slash out to forage with them.But all of a sudden.........

"Attaaaaaaaaaaaack!"Yelled Zaphod.The Whiskers war danced towards the
Zappa. The Zappa were so scared that they ran of to their home.Lola was
told to carry Axel, but she was so tired after her Puff Adder bite that
she just left him right were she was.The Whiskers had won over the Zappa.

But Axel was scared stiff.All around him there was danger.He saw a
snake.Luckily it didn't see him.But then all of a sudden he saw a Goshawk
swooping towards him. Having only been on the surface once before he
didn't know what to do.

"Help, help!"He cried."I yah,!"Yelled a meerkat who had just jumped out
from the grass.Was it a brave Zappa.No it was Mitch.He was fighting the
eagle with karate.

"I yah pow zip!"Yelled Mitch.The eagle flew away having thought Mitch was
a serval.When the eagle was gone Mitch picked up Axel, and brought him to
the Whiskers burrow.Flower saw Mitch with carrying Axel.

"Bring that pup over here he must die!"Ordered Flower.Mitch had to obey so
he brought him over to Flower.Flower picked him up, and dropped him on his
head.But just as she was about to drop him again.

"Mother no don't kill him let me keep him!"Begged Rocket Dog.Flower didn't
want to, but she let Rocket Dog keep him.For the first time in history a
Zappa, had become a Whisker.

Chapter XVI

                                      Journeys End

Soon the Whiskers (even Axel the newest member) were relaxing under a bush
while Spud, and Sophie were watching Flower's pups.With such expirence the
pups couldn't have been in better paws.Buster, and Suggs hated silence so
they started ruffing around.Soon the other Whiskers (even Flower) joined
in the game.All except Axel, and Einstien.They were both tired so they
decided to rest.The two soon became good friends, and started doing about
everything together.

After all the play was over the Whiskers set out to do some foraging when
they saw Collindo the Cape Cobra.He was famous for his talent of killing
meerkats, and his taste for meerkat pups.The Whiskers quickly tried to get
him away.Axel watched from a safe distance.It seemed like they'd never get
him away.Then Mitch bit his tail wich was very brave for a teenager.

"Ahhhhhhhh, grrrrr you'll pay for this you oversized rats, one day you'll
all be extinct, and cobras will rule the desert!"Yelled Collindo as he
slitherd away.

The Whiskers went on with foraging, but when they returned they saw
Collindo slithering into the exact place they were trying to protect.The
babysitting burrrow. They tried to get him out, but soon he had gotten so
deep in the burrow the only way to get him out was to kill.For the first
time in a long time Flower actually did something not many meerkats ever
attempted.She charged into the burrow to kill Collindo.She killed him, but
had recieved a painful bite on her head.

She rested for one day, but she still didn't get better.Soon she began to
feal sorry for all the females she'd evicted so she wrote letters to all
of them saying she was sorry. They all forgave her, and sent letters
back.After she read the last letter she died, and was burried in the
Meerkat Graveyard.

The next day Liz Flower's pup emerged from the burrow.She, and Axel
quickly became friends.Maybeline, and Daisy were happy tha Flower was dead
because now they might not get evicted, and might even become dominant.And
were was Collindo put.Einstien kept his skeleton in his lab, as a display
item.With so much competition only time will tell who becomes the new
dominant.

  Chapter XVII

                                         A New Day

Five weeks had passed since Flower's death, and those weeks were anything,
but peaceful.Some of theWhiskers wanted Rocket Dog to be leader, and
others thought Maybeline, or Daisy would be better.Anyway there was a big
war of wh should be dominant.Suprisenly Rocket Dog won with only seven
meerkats on her side (Einstien, Axel, Mitch, Jogu, Sophie, Liz, and Mango
on here side), plus Einstiens pet Groud Squirrel Edison.So once again
Rocket Dog was chosen to be leader, and was restored of her collar.

But the fight was not over yet.No it was just begening.Maybeline, and
Daisie's pups had just emerged from the burrow, having been born two weeks
ago.Rocket Dog in her kind spirit sparred the pups lives, but she made it
that they would have to be servants for as long as they live.So Maybeline,
Daisy, and their pups were treated as Omegas, and had to do whatever
Rocket Dog said.So their competetiveness didn't pay off after all.

Zaphod was most upset.Now that he couldn't mate with the dominant, there
was little reason for him to stick around.He spent his time chasing of
unrelated males like Wilson.But Rocket Dog needed a unrealated male so she
could mate.Somehow she had to find a way to get Zaphod out of the
group.But she had something else she wanted to do first.Since there old
burrow was getting old, and crappy, Rocket Dog decided to move to the nice
new burrow Einstien had found for her on his 3D screen GPS.

"Okay everyone, it's time to get moving!"Announced Rocket Dog through a
megaphone.But Maybeline refused to move.She had a plan to make Rocket Dog
look like a failure of a leader.

"Why won't she move?"Asked RocketDog.

"Aint know,"answered Spud.

"Maybe she's broken!"Proclaimed Axel.

"Possibility,"said Rocket Dog.

Just then two meerkats came up, and tried to take Maybeline's bratty pups
away.But Maybeline bit them on the feet.Soon the whole mob was in
confusion.Rocket Dog had to think of something to do, and fast.Then......

"Quiet!"Yelled Zaphod.He forced Maybeline, and Daisy to move.Soon everyone
was at the new burrow.Rocket Dog went inside to see if it was safe, and it
turned out to be inhabitedby Ground Squirrels.These creatures were so
fierce unless tamed they've been known to defeat a Cape Cobra with one
stare.

But these Ground Squirrels (whoose names were Jane, Jim, and Jeremy) were
friendly, and let the let the Whiskers own the burrow, if they promised to
dig a burrow right next to it for them.Einstien dug one with his ultra
powerd lazer that was very beautiful.So now everything was peacful.Or was
it?

Chapter XVIII

                                     A Good Leader

Rocket Dog's burrow move proved to be a success.Right next to the new
burrow was a irrigation trough wich would be useful in a famine so they
could replace the moisture they would useually get in their diet.But one
meerkat was to curious for his own good.Jogu had fallen in the
trough.Curiosity didn't kill the kat, this time.

Soon the Whiskers set of to do some foraging, leaving Zaphod on
babysitting duty, wich he hadn't done in four whole years.

"Oh yah leave Zaphod to babysit the little bratty rats,"he grumped.Not
only was he now babysitting, and a subbordanant, but their new burrow was
right next to a nest apartment of Weaver Birds, and those birds would not
stop singing.

"Oh hello Zaphooooooood!"They screached."Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"Yelled
Zaphod.Now he knew what his old partner felt like when he sung Oh Flower
where ya goin.

Meanwhile the rest of the Whiskers were having better times.Zaphod's
nightmare, was one of Rocket Dog's best moments.If a roving male just
happend to walk by there'd be no Zaphod to chase him off.But so far the
only unrealated male in the group was little Axel, but he was now
Einstien's assistant, was to young, and plus I'm sure he had no intention
of mating with his foster mom.He was just sitting on a high log on sentry
duty, when he saw his old group.Unfortunatly Mitch had forgot to tell him
to sound the alarm at a time like this.Then.....

"The Zappa, run everyone!"Yelled Mitch.Rocket Dog didn't know what to do,
so she just ran, with the rest of the group following her.Punk had come to
kill Axel. She had heard that he was now a Whisker, and she thought of him
as a traitor.All of a sudden.........

"Got ya!"Yelled Punk.Rocket Dog turned around to see Punk  holding Axel up
by the neck.Rocket Dog now didn't care what happened to her.She lead the
group back to fight the Zappa.It was a brave move for a young kat seeing
after she got to them there was no going back.Mitch, and Mc Murphy had
pinned down Houdini, and Rocket Dog, and Sophie had Punk in their
grasp.Axel quickly fled for his life, the Einstien picked him up, and
brought him back to the saftey of the burrow.

Seeing their leaders defeated the Zappa retreated.Rocket Dog had won her
first battle.

That night there was a celebration for Rocket Dog.Quillcalloss even came
to interview her.Rocket Dog was pleased.Now that she had proven she could
win a war without any help from Zaphod, it was one more excuse for him to
leave.and that was exactly what he was afraid of.

Chapter XIX

                                Zaphod's Departure

It had been six weeks since Flower's death, and Zaphod was still hanging
around.Having been the original dominant male, he would've been expected
to leave shortly after Flower died.He even started becoming uneeded.There
was less work for him to do to make himself useful in the group, and even
when he found work that wasn't being done, another young meerkat like
Mitch, or Mango would get there before him.But Liz, who was the only of
Flower's last litter that survived from the cobra attack, allways seemed
to have time for the old timer.Zaphod had never felt so uneeded, but I'll
let the Meerkat Girls (a choir of evicted singing female meerkats)
explain.

Hit it Kats!

Zaaaaphod, you are down, you wear a frown, because your lady leeeft yah.

Yah may be old, but you solid goldd, get on with liiiiiiife
Zaaaaaaphoooooood.

Oh yah, Zaphod, Zaphod you the man.

Can you attract the ladies, coarse yah can.

                           Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaphooooooooooooood!

"Ah nice girls, yah can leave now, um how many jobs has Zaphod been on
since mom died?"Asked Mitch.

"Calculating, the theory of the Workological Probabilities written by me,
we must count the number of days since Flower died, and if we divide that
by the Workological Numeral that we have here, the number of jobs Zaphod
has been on since Flower's death is, one,"said Einstien.

The next morning, a lone figure sat gazing at the sunrise.It's Zaphod.

"Ah, to leave, or not to leave?"He thought.

But time was running out.There were only two months left of summer.If he
wanted to find a mate he had to leave now.So of he went into the
sunrise.He went to play the lady market.He wanted to mate with as many
females as possible, and this old timer knew exactly who he wante to mate
with first.

Zaphod had been roving for three days, and he'd been having the time of
his life.He had seen many sites like vervet monkeys grooming each other,
and gemsboks migrating across the big river.But he hadn't left the
Whiskers to enjoy the scenery. No he had left for one thing, and one thing
only, to mate.Who was his first target. Lola Zappa.

Meanwhile at the Whiskers, Rocket Dog was trying to get Maybeline to let
the new bratty pups out of the burrow.Even though she had no liking for
them, to be nice to keep te peace between her, and her sisters she had
spared their lifes, for now atleast.

"Rocket Dog, Maybeline not coperating,"said Axel.

"Why that's absolutley right Axel, you are so smart, Maybeline get out of
her, before I send Badboy Bubby to make you get out, and that won't be
pretty,"said Rocket Dog.

Maybeline still refused.

"Listen May, I don't know who you think you are, it was Rocket Dog who
spared you little brats life, you should be thankful, so May you get out
of that burrow!" Yelled Axel.

"No I, Ooooow!"Yelled Maybeline.

Rocket Dog had bitten her paw, and was now scent marking her
furiously.Maybeling eventually had to give in, and the pups were finally
aloud to get out of Rocket Dog's nice clean, parasite free burrow.Rocket
Dog was a very good leader, and maybe even better than Flower.But if she's
going to be succesful she's going to have to get all the group to follow
her, including Maybeline, or there could be another Kinkajou in town.

Meanwhile Zaphod had found the Zappa, and Punk was doing the easy way of
getting food, stealing wich is not what a leader does.Lola, had gone away
for awhile to eat in peace.Zaphod had climbed up a baobab to get a better
look.I'll let the Meerkat Girls explain to you how it goes.....

Zaphod was a very charming meerkat, and a charming meerkat, and a charming
meerkat was he.

He climbed up in a baobab tree for Lola he wanted to see.

And as his feoncay passed that way she looked up in the tree, and said.

"Zaphod you get down, for I want to mate with you today.

With hearts in his eyes, and love in his heart, Zaphod ran down the tree
without even a fart.But then Houdini spotted him.Zaphod ran away as fast
as he could to escape the ever so powerful Houdini.

As Zaphod settled in for the night it seemed he was a failiure, but he had
gotten Lola's attention wich is proof that this old timer's still got what
it takes.

The next day catching Lola's attention seemed to be mear beginner's
luck.He had been waiting for over a hour, and he still hadn't mated yet.

"Hello females, it's me Zaphod, come over here to mate with me, I don't
like to be kept waiting!"He yelled.

But being impatient could be fatal to a rover.If he ran out to soon, he
could be killed.

The next morning Zaphod was very sad.He had spent the night in a Zappa
bolt hole. He had almost mated with Lola, while Houdini was spending some
wuality time with Punk, but he had been caught red pawed by a sentry kat.

He seemed like a failure, but with so many more females to mate with out
there, it looks like this rover won't be returnong to the Whisker's
anytime soon.

Part 2 By Flower Whiskers

 Chapter VI

                        Ruler from the Dark Side

Let's go back in time to the night when the Whiskers were reunited after the pups, and Sophie almost died from the Zappa attack. But if you go to the Starsky group you'll see a meerkat pacing outside the main burrow thinking very hard. It's Kinkajou. She was thinking of a way to become dominant female of the Starskys. Then at last she got a idea. When morning came, and the rest of the Zappa woke up. Then..........

"Hey everyone I found a tree with lot's of tasty caterpillars!"Yelled Kinkajou." Wow," said a meerkat."Cool," said another."Let's go there," said another. So they all followed Kinkajou. They didn't even do their morning duties. All went except Mozart. Instead she stayed behind, and did all the morning duties. Little did the rest of the group know that Kinkajou was playing a trick on them. When Mozart was done the duties she went to see what the rest of the group was doing. When she found them Kinkajou was taking them in a far away direction. Mozart didn't know that Kinkajou told the group that she knew where a very fancy burrow was that they could spend the night in. The group was so full with caterpillars that they forgot to get Mozart, so they just followed Kinkajou. Mozart was surprised. She was due to give birth that night, and her group hadn't even helped her get to where Kinkajou was taking them. So she decided to just follow them.

At last she caught up with them. The group apologized greatly. All except Kinkajou. She had expected to loose Mozart. But she had another idea of how to become dominant female.

When the group finally reached the burrow they found out that Kinkajou had tricked them. They arrived at a burrow alright, but it was a old abandoned burrow that hadn't been used in a hundred years.

"Wait a go Stinkapou," said the group to Kinkajou. None of them wanted to, but they had no choice, but to spend the night in that burrow.

The next day Kinkajou ordered the meerkats to get to work."How could we have been so foolish," cried the meerkats. If you hadn't known meerkats lived in groups you would've thought that Kinkajou had made slaves out of them. Finally Mozart emerged from the burrow. She had a flat stomach. It was clear that she had given birth. But she had no milk to feed her pups. It was risky leaving the burrow, but she had to get milk for her pups. Everyone (except Kinkajou) gave Mozart as much food as possible.

When Mozart arrived back at the burrow she went underground to nurse her pups. But she couldn't find them. When she went above ground at last she saw a little paw of a meerkat. It was clear that Kinkajou had eaten her pups. All of the group (except Kinkajou of course) spent three days mourning for the poor little things.

So Kinkajou got her wish as dominant female. To herself she was the greatest ruler ever, but to everyone else she was nothing but a friendless tyrant.

But would Mozart just give up. Nope! Not a option. Sometimes the biggest falls, can one day turn into one of the biggest victories.

Chapter VII

                           A new Casanova

The Starsky were doing bad. Mozart had lost her place  as dominant female and she still felt sorry for her pups, Kinkajou was afraid that one day the group might try to kill her in revenge of killing Mozart's pups, and Carlos’s wound from Hannibal had become infected. He wished he had chosen Mozart to be dominant female, but now he was too weak to even forage. He knew his life was nearing a end.

At the Whisker's burrow things were going much better. The seasonal rains had brought some life back to the Kalahari, the Whiskers had gained a lot of territory through fighting Frank Zappa and his 13 meerkat army, and Flower had given birth to two pups. Both were boys. The older one was just like Buster (bratty), and his name was Len. But the younger one was different. He had a deformed leg and had trouble walking, so Einstein suggested Squiggly. Flower suggest the great Squiggle Da Whisker, but soon everyone started forgetting his name so Squiggly it was.

"What are the chances of a meerkat pup having a deformed leg?"Asked Zaphod. "One in 5,"said Flower proudly."Closer to one a million Flower," said Einstein."Whatever," said Flower, "Oh I forgot I've got to go and forage so I can nurse the pups."Don't worry I'll babysit the pups Flower," said Einstein. So Einstein stayed and taught the pups Roman Numerals, Astronomy, and the Laws of Gravity, and Motion while the rest of the group went out foraging. But Zaphod wasn't exactly in the mood for eating. He had his eye on roving male Houdini. He was afraid that Flower might choose him to be dominant male instead of him as he was very charming. And that's exactly what Flower was thinking. Zaphod decided to follow Flower wherever she went and give her extra attention. But taking parts of Flower's food isn't exactly the kind of attention she wanted.

"Stop it Zaphod your being irritating," said a very annoyed Flower."But Flower a but a........What’s the matter ya got ants in pants," said Flower. Zaphod was going to answer but just then............

"A eagle!"Yelled Big Will."More specifically a large bird of prey that feeds upon one foot tall living organisms like us," called out Einstein from the burrow."Oh I'll tell you what it is Mr. Smarty Pants dangerous," said Mitch, "run to the bush."And everyone ran to the bush. But just then Zaphod realized that Flower wasn't with them. He wanted to go look for her, but he couldn't. He waited impatiently for the eagle to leave. He even put a sundial up to time it.

"Come on, come on," said Zaphod impatiently."Be patient Zaphod, "said Big Will. But just then Zaphod saw that the eagle left. He dashed away faster than a lightning bolt trying to strike a falcon. It took a little while for Zaphod to find Flower though. He even searched a few feet outside Kalahari County. When he finally found Flower he didn't like what he saw. Houdini was leaning over Flower. Zaphod knew they were mating. He dashed toward Houdini.

"Get away from my lady!"Yelled Zaphod."Go find your own."Gotta go," said Houdini, and he dashed away. Zaphod chassed him away, but it was too late. Houdini had mated with Flower. He franticly started scent marking Flower. She wasn't exactly happy with that."Grrrrrrrrrrrrr, stop it Zaphod," said a very  angry Flower. So Flower just went back to foraging. But Zaphod just followed her. He didn't want a replay of what just happened.

"Oh Flower where ya goin," sang Zaphod in a of key voice."Grrr stop singing, stop singing," said a very irritated Flower.

    Chapter VIII

                                  Farewell Carlos.

While Flower was trying to nurse her pups Kinkajou had really woken up on the wrong side of the burrow. She made the group go out in search for the perfect burrow for her to give birth in at 6:00in the morning. They didn't even get to forage before they left. They still hadn't found one yet (as Kinkajou was very picky).Just then Mozart found something out of the ordinary.

"Lush feeding grounds!"She yelled. The whole group turned around to see  apiece of ground that was filled with scorpions, geckos, snails, centipedes, millipedes, caterpillars, and everything a meerkat could ever dream of. But just then Kinkajou saw a meerkat who she hoped she'd never see again. It was none other than Mozart's brother Shakespeare. He was the owner of this land and was now called Shady. When he saw Mozart they hugged and kissed each other. They told each other about what they where doing.

"When I heard you were coming this way I decided to welcome let you live here with me," said Shady."Why thank you," said Mozart. Kinkajou said no but soon she was out voted, and the group decided to make this there knew home. After the foraging was done Mozart went to take care of Carlos by grooming him. But a few minutes later......

"A snake!"Yelled Shady the others turned around to see a large Puff Adder in the tall grass. All the meerkats tried to get it away except Carlos, and Kinkajou. Carlos was to weak, and Kinkajou was to scared (she was to proud to admit it though. She just said it was too easy for her).But the meerkats couldn't get it away so they just went back to working. Mozart went back to grooming Carlos. But Kinkajou shoved her aside and bit Carlos on the neck.

"Ouch!"Yelled Carlos. He tried to forage, but he was to weak so he went back to the burrow to enjoy the rest of his life in peace. When the day was over the group went to search for Carlos, but they couldn't find him. The next day they found him dead outside the burrow. They had a funeral for him, buried him in the Meerkat Graveyard. He really was a meerkat to be remembered.

   Chapter IX

                                     Flower's Disappearance.

The death of Carlos struck sadness into the hearts of all the meerkats in Kalahari County. All except Kinkajou. She was happy that she could rule the Starsky the way she wanted to. But thankfully this story isn't about Kinkajou. To tell this story we have to go to Whisker territory three weeks after Carlos’s death. Here you'll see the Whisker's helping Flower's newest litter out of the burrow. Len had no trouble doing it, but Squiggly did. Because he had a deformed leg it was a little hard for him.

"Help, help please!"He cried. His big brother Mitch went to help him. Buster and Sugs (who were now four months old) didn't want to loose their attention to Squiggly. So they started wrestling which just led them falling into a thorn bush. Everyone laughed.

"Buster and Sugs we all expect you to act your own age," said Sophie."If that's even possible, “snickered Jogu.

Soon the group went out to forage leaving Sparkle to babysit the pups.

"Oh I sure hope the Zappa don't come here," she thought.

Soon the Whisker's arrived home with no luck finding food. Their once land of plenty had turned into a arid wasteland. And if that wasn't bad enough something else was going wrong. Flower, Zaphod, and few other Whiskers’ were missing.

"Can you please feed me Daisy I'm hungry,' said Squiggly. Daisy was surprised of how polite this pup asked so she gladly fed him, and his brother Len. Buster tried to get some milk, but Daisy wouldn't let him.

"Didn't Sophie tell you to act your own age ya big baby?"Asked Daisy."Humph, it's not fair why can't I nurse," said Buster. And with that he walked away.

With Flower missing Einstein said the throne should go to Rocket Dog. Rocket Dog said she was to inexperienced to do such a thing, but at last she agreed and became the new ruler. Then Rocket Dog thought of something she never had before.

"Which one of those handsome males should I mate with first," she thought. Her thought was broken by a terrifying roar. She looked up to see a whole pride of lions. She had never seen all of those females, but the big male looked very familiar. It was Mike. Once a lone lion he had now established a pride of lions. And he was here to eat meerkats.

"Now you meerkats will surrender into our paws!"Roared Mike."Not today," said Rocket Dog, and all of the group ran into a bolt hole. Everyone got in. Well everyone except Squiggly. He was being attacked by the Mike's mate Jenina. Just then Quillcaloss Jone's ran in the way of Jenina and shot porcupine quills at her nose. She ran away along with all the other lions. Squiggly was safe. But in order to survive the weather now they needed the rest of their group. But could Mike, and his pride have already killed them.

Chapter X

                            Squiggly the Great.

A week after Flower's disappearance the Whiskers seemed to be doing okay. Because there were less mouths to feed it was easier to find food. Len seemed to get more food than his brother, but Squiggly always seemed to get enough food to keep him healthy. Rocket Dog led the group out foraging, but a little meerkat was having trouble keeping up. It was Squiggly.

"Help, help!"He cried. But his voice was so faint that only Mitch heard it. He ran back to get Squiggly back with the group.

"Thank you so much," said Squiggly who was exhausted after trying so hard to keep up with the group."Your welcome," said Mitch. While they were foraging Rocket Dog spied a handsome male. It was Houdini, and he was using his magic Houdini stare so he might be able to mate with Rocket Dog. In the end it worked.

That night though the group saw Houdini again, and this time he wasn't alone. He brought the Zappa with him. Daisy, and Maybelline ran up to them trying to get the males to mate with them, and they were successful.

The next morning during the foraging party Spud spied a goshawk.

"Run!"He cried. And everyone ran into the burrow. Well everyone except Len, and Squiggly.

"This is all your fault Squiggly," said Len."Why?"Squiggly."Because if you would've been faster we wouldn't be…but just then Len was picked up by the hawk. He tried to catch Squiggly to, but somehow Squiggly escaped. Yes Squiggly was now a great meerkat.

A week had passed since Len had died. Einstein had tried to make a potion to make Squiggle’s arm unreformed, but Buster, and Sugs called him a failure when it didn't work. Then Squiggly told Rocket Dog what had happened. She was so mad at Buster, and Sugs that she made them Omegas in the group (they were very high before). From then on they hated Squiggly.

The next day when Squiggly had returned home after fixing Einstein’s satellite, he heard Buster, and Sugs saying bad things about him.

"Squiggly is such a bug, I wish head be faster," said Buster."I know," said Sugs."Well at least he'll be hung tomorrow," said Buster."Oh thank goodness,' said Sugs.

Squiggly was shocked. Was he really that much trouble. Then he remembered that he had trouble foraging. Because he liked his group so much he didn't want to slow them down so he ran away into the desert. Luckily he stumbled upon the Kalahari County News Station, and Quillcaloss let him live with him, his wife, and his kids. Squiggly was happy.

Of coarse Rocket Dog would never hang Squiggly. It was just something Buster, and Sugs said to get rid of Squiggy. And with there maybe being a boom of half Zappa, half Whisker babies in the group there maybe called the Whappa soon. The next day the group saw something. It was Flower, and the rest of the group.

With two groups, Flower leading one, and Rocket Dog leading the other there's due to be trouble in store.

 

Chapter XI

                                   Goodbye Old Times

The next day Houdini had finally found the Whiskers.He was overjoyed to see them.But some of the Whisker males wern't happy to see him.Everytime he came to mate with their sisters he would tease them, and allways made the ladies forget their morning duties.And every time he arrived the females made them roll out the red carpet for him.So when he got close enough...........

"Charge!"Yelled Mitch.And the males charged at Houdini at full speed.Houdini was startled, and ran away.But soon he ran out of breath.So he used his magic to transport him to Zappa territory.Because of what just happend he decided to stay with his own group.But he didn't want to be a plain old meerkat though.No he wanted the position of dominant male.

Meanwhile at the Whisker's the males were feeling pleased with themselves.The females were mad at them at first, but then realized that they had been treating the four males who had chased of Houdini (Columbus, Mitch, Jogu, and Einstien) a little strange so everyone appologised, and everyone was forgiven.It was a happy day at the Whisker's.

It was also a happy day for the Zappa.They had helped themselves by feeding off the Whisker's pantry.When they finally arrived home they saw that Houdini had arrived home.The Zappa ran over and started to hug, and kiss him.But all of a sudden......

"Get away!"Yelled a voice.The rest of the Zappa turned around.It was Frank, and he knew exactly what Houdini planned to do.Frank franticly started dancing to show he was boss.But whatever he did Houdini did too except better.

"I win!"Yelled Houdini when the dance off for dominance was over.It was clear Houdini was the winner.He chased Frank off away from the Zappa.

"I'll get you yet Houdini, because I am Frank Zappa!"He yelled as he ran off into the night.

The next morning Lola was alowed back in the group, but her Royal Collar was taken and given to Punk.Again the Zappa helped themselves to the Whisker's food. There are 4 things a female needs to be dominant.Hygene, Poise, etticute, and Anal Marking, and Punk only got the last one right.As we close this chapter it seems like things in the Zappa will never be the same.

Chapter XIII                               

                                     Hanibal Returns.

It had been a month since Flower, and the rest of the Whiskers had disapeared.It was clear Rocket Dog wasn't the best leader, but the other meerkats obeyed her because she was nice to them.All except Maybeline, and Daisy.They were so jeallous about the fact that Rocket dog had been chosen leader tha they were willing to do anything to ge rid of her.Mitch had grown tired of the three sisters fighting so secretly he ran of to find the rest of the Whiskers so the fighting between the three would stop once and for all.He searched at Starsy territory, but Mozart said the only thing they saw, or heard in three days was Kinkajou singing.

"Oh ah lah bah doopy do do plac plac racity rac!"She Sang loudly.Mitch quickly left to get away from the awfull sound.But he still couldn't find the Whiskers.Then he thought that they might be at there old territory in the south.But that was now Comando territory, and their leader was Hanibal.When he finally got to Comando territory he found the rest of the Whiskers.

"What are you doing here?"Asked Mitch."We've gotten tired of the Comandos pushing us around so I've decided to chase them of,"said Flower proudly."You can't do that, their to strong!"Said Mitch."Well after we've all had a drink we'll be able to defeat them,"said Flower.Flower went last at the water through so she could have the most water.Little did she know the Comando's were watching there every move.

Hanibal could not believe his eye.

"I can not believe my eye!"

He was most angry.

"I'm most angry."

That was Flower he was looking at.

"That's Flower I'm looking at, come my army we must get revenge for Ozzy, kill Flower."

Hanibal, and the rest of the Comandos quickly charged at the Whiskers.Flower, and her Splinter Group charged at the Comandos.Mitch was almost killed, but managed to esacpe.Soon Flower had to retreat so she called her group and lead them away.They decided to stay in their old burrow for the night, and head for home the next.Flower's plan to take over the Comandos had failed.

FRI 29 FEB

Story Part 1 By Flower Whiskers

Okay before I put the thing on here, I DID NOT WRITE THIS STORY. REAPET. I DID NOT WRITE THIS STORY

 

Chapter I

         The Interview.

It was a nice morning in Kalahari County. The sun was rising, the birds were singing, and the Whiskers were busy.

"Okay everyone gets up," ordered Flower."Yes ma," said Mitch. "Hey boss," said Sophie, "this afternoon the reporters from the Kalahari County News Station want to ask you some questions since Season 3 is tomorrow."Oh well I can't wait," said Flower.

That afternoon the boss of the new station Quillcaloss Jones the Crested Porcupine arrived with his reporters (bat eared foxes, golden moles, other meerkats, ect). Then he started interviewing Flower.

"Tell me Flower what's it like to be dominant female of the Whiskers?" Asked Quillcaloss."Oh not hard at all like it is for Cazanna," said Flower. "Well what do you plan to do this season," said Quillcaloss."Expand our territory by fighting the Zappas, and the lions," said Flower."You lan to fight the lions!" Said Quillcaloss in a surprised voice."Yup I sure do," said Flower."But the're...."No more of it just get on with the interview, "demanded Flower."Uh okay last question why did you let Hanibal take over your territory?" Asked Quillcaloss. "Um a," said Flower. 'Tick Tock Tick Tock," said Quillcaloss."Well um I have to go take care of the pups so I can't answer any more questions, but thanks for coming Quillcaloss, 'said Flower."But ah..."get out," demanded Flower. Then she shoved him and his reporters out of the burrow and slammed the door. But before she did she got porcupine quills stuck in her nose."Ouch," said Flower.

That night Flower saw the Commandos saw she was getting ready for bed."Ah!" Yelled Flower. They were chasing her. She ran, and ran, and ran as fast as she could, but then she fell into a big black hole."Ahhhhh!" Yelled Flower. Then the Commandos lifted her up and tied her to a post to watch her pups be served as dinner to the lion judges on the show Kalahari Cook Off."Ahhh no no!" Yelled Flower. Then she saw all that the adult, and teenage females in the Whiskers were pregnant."Ah no no!" Yelled Flower. Soon all her pups were eaten. Then she was thrown into a huge pit of elephant dung. 'Nooooooo!" Yelled Flower. Then she heard the deep voice. 'Floooower, Floooooower," it said. Then it started to get lighter, and lighter until.....

"Flower, Flower wake up it's season 3,"said Sophie. "Ah!"Screamed Flower. Then she saw a spy camera. She looked at the other Whiskers grumpily."Uh that was Quillcalosse's doing," said Zaphod."Oh this is gonna be a long season I'm not sure I'll live through it," said Flower.

Chapter II

                                   Babysitting Blues.

Flower soon forgot about her dream and told everyone to start foraging. Everyone obeyed her. Well almost everyone. Her partner Zahpod was taking it easy while she was working. He was more relaxed than a sleeping dog, and lay more still in his easy chair than a muddy, old, log.

"Zaphod why aren't you helping?" Asked Flower."Well," said Zaphod," now that my nutty brother Yousarrian is gone I don't have any competion for dominant male."I could send troops out to find him so he could be the new dominant male so help unless you want to loose your position!" yelled Flower."Okay, okay don't tear my paw off," said Zaphod.

When the morning duties were done the group went out to try to find food. Sophie and Jogu stayed behind to babysit Flower's latest litter Buster, Izzy, and Sugs. But it wasn't easy.

"Sophie give me milk," demanded Izzy."Izzy I've told you a gazillion times I'm not old enough to give you milk," said Sophie."Do you think I'm gonna let a small fact like that stop me from getting what I want when I want it," said Izzy."Uh yah," said Sophie."Don't you talk to me like that, I'm the future of the Kalahari, you weren’t even supposed to be born," said Izzy."It's Kalahari Izzy, and stop teasing you don't know what it's like not to have your mom around," cried Sophie. Then she ran into the burrow to be alone."Give me milk," demanded Izzy. And she chased after Sophie. Things were no better for Jogu.

"Ouch, Buster stop bitting my. Ouch, ear, and Sugs stop , Ouch, bitting my ,Ouch, tail," said Jogu."You don't tell us what to do," said Sugs. "Yah," said Buster."You two are just like your moms," said the pups to Sophie, and Jogu," Stupid ha ha."The two babysitter snuck into the burrow while the pups were laughing.

When they were finally alone they started talking."Oh Jogu I wish we could see our uncle Shakespeare were here he would show those poor excuses for pups who's boss," cried Sophie."Me to," said Jogu," but we have no idea where he is, what he's doing, or even if he's alive."Then they looked at the wall. On it there was a portrait of their uncle Shaksepeare. It was painted with the finest berry juice, the finest paint brush, and the finest easel in all of Kalahari County. How they wished to see him again. Eventually they got over their sadness. Just then...........

"Come on out babysitters take us somewhere we're bored, and hurry up," said the pups."I guess we better take them somewhere," said Sophie. Jogu agreed. He had a idea how to teach those pups a lesson.

Chapter III

Sophie and Jogu made their way out of the burrow.

"Grrrrrr hurry up looser," growled the pups."We're coming braggers," said Sophie." We're aloud to call you two names, but you're not aloud to call us names," said Buster. Little did the meerkat know that a large eagle owl was watching their every move.

"Ha ha I may not be able to pick up the adults, but a pup would taste just as good," he said.

Soon the meerkats were far away from the burrow. Then....

"Owwww oh ouch ei ah owwwwwww," yelled Jogu."Pups wait there I'm going to see what's wrong with Jogu, 'said Sophie. But the pups didn't want to wait so they ran of into the tall grass when Sophie wasn't looking.

"What's the matter Jogu?"Asked Sophie. "Nothing I was faking it, and it's a good thing I did the pups are gone, "said Jogu."Jogu, what are we gonna tell Flower, "said Sophie."Hi guys what's up?"Asked Mitch who had just come home. Sophie told him all about what Jogu had done. After arguing a little the three friends went out to find the pups.

Little did they know that the pups were playing hide and seek in Commando territory. Then the eagle owl picked them up.

"Gotta ya you little rats, "laughed the owl."You don't say that to the future of the Kalamari, "said Izzy."Meerkats the futures of the, Ouch, "screamed the owl. Buster had bitten one of his toes and the eagle owl dropped them."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," screamed the pups. Then they fell right next to a sleeping brown hyena. Luckily they didn't wake him up. Then they heard a rustling sound in the grass. Was it lion, a puff adder, or a rival meerkat group. No it was the babysitters.

"Yahoo you're here, ah I mean it's about time, "yelled the pups. But because they yelled so loud the hyena woke up, and he looked hungry."Ah six scrumptious little meerkats, "he said as he liked his lips."Run!"Yelled Mitch. And all of the meerkats ran into a bolt hole before the hyena could get them."No ho ho I'm hungry!"Cried the hyena.

At last the babysitters, and pups made it back to there burrow. Then the rest of the Whiskers came back, but they had no food.

"We ventured across a half square mile area, but our luck of finding scrumptious invertebrates, and small vertebrates was negative," said Einstein."What?"Asked the babysitters."Um what Einstein means is we found no food," said Zaphod."Oh," said the pups."Well we have to try again," said Flower, and she lead the group out to find food. But Izzy had a hard time keeping up.

"Help, help!"She Yelled. Sophie came and rescued her. Then the Whiskers found it. Lush feeding grounds. But then the Zappa group showed up.

"This is our feeding ground, "said Frank Zappa (the leader),"but we shall have a fight."Yes, "Said his partner Lola, "the winner keeps the feeding ground, and the looser has to forage somewhere else."Flower agreed, and soon the two groups were fighting. Before the battle had started though Sophie, Jogu, Mitch, and the pups ran away. At the ended of the battle the Whiskers won.

"Yahoo we get the half square mile area of lush invertebrates, and small vertebrates which are full of fiber, and vitamins!"Cheered Einstein."Uh yah," said Zaphod. But then the Whiskers realized the pups were missing. They wanted to go search for them, but it was to late so they had to go back to their burrow.

             But the question is.......

           Where are the pups, and babysitters?

    Chapter IV

                        The Rise of Heroes.

The Whiskers were very determined to find the pups, and babysitters tomorrow. Little did they know that the pups were struggling for there lives. When the babysitters took them away from the battle they ran of and fell down a Zappa trap. It was a tunnel that shot them into the mouth of the Big River. Unfortunately the big river was filled with the largest, most ferocious crocodiles in Africa.

"Help!" Cried the pups."Hang on, "said the babysitters who had just arrived. They made a chain of meerkats to get the pups out of the river. Then Jogu saw a African giant millipede."Sorry gotta go,' said Jogu. Then he let go of Mitch, and he made Sophie let go of him. Then Mitch splashed into the river.

"*Cough, cough* help.!" Screamed Mitch."Mitch can you swim over, and grab the pups?"Asked Sophie."*Cough* I'll try," said Mitch. He swam towards them. At last he got them. But a crocodile was heading towards them. Then Mitch, and the pups jumped on the crocodile and then jumped to another, and another until they were at the bank of the river. Then Jogu came back with a millipede in his mouth. Sophie, and Mitch didn't look to happy.

"Oh sorry guys," said Jogu."Ah that's okay," said Sophie."Um well it's getting late, and the pups are tired so maybe we should go, and spend the night in that burrow," said Mitch. The others didn't want to, but they didn't have a choice so they went to the burrow to sleep.

The next day the Whiskers searched for missing members, but after they'd searched their whole territory they knew the pups must be in Zappa territory.

"Oh well we tried let's go home," said Zaphod, and he turned in the direction of their burrow."Come one everyone," demanded Flower, and she pulled Zaphod back. Then they all went to find the pups.

Meanwhile Mitch was heading off to find the Whiskers. He tracked the Whisker's scent, and set of to find them."Yah think we'll see him again?” asked Sophie."I don't know, but I think so," answered Jogu. But soon Mitch was lost.

"Oh now where am I?"Asked Mitch."Why you're right here bro,' said a voice."Mitch turned around to see a very familiar looking pregnant meerkat."Is that you Mozart?" asked Mitch."Yah,' said Mozart. She told Mitch that she was dominant female of a new group called the Starsky, she was married to Carlos (who had a scar on his face from Hannibal), and her trouble with her half sister Kinkajou. But then some meerkats from Mozart’s group who Mitch didn't know chased him off. Again Mitch was lost.

At the babysitting burrow Sophie, and the pups were under attack by the Zappa. Jogu had once again abandoned his post to mate with Melanie (a evicted female from the Zappa).Just then the Whiskers showed up."Retreat!" screamed Lola Zappa. And all of the Zappa ran away. Sophie, and the pups were safe.

"Let's make this are new home," said Flower after she finished scent marking the pups. And they did.

That night Jogu and Mitch came home. Both came home with great news. Jogu was now a adult because he had mated with Melanie, and Mitch had found Mozart.

That night there was a party. A really fun party. There was music (which was partly Zaphod snorring),games, and food.

But the Zappa weren’t happy. If they didn't do something soon they'd loose their territory.

"I'll get revenge on them because I am the mighty Frank Zappa," said Frank Zappa.

Mozart also had problems. If she didn't keep a eye on Kinkajou, she could loose her position.

Chapter V

                      Revenge of the Zappa

At Mozart's new group the Starsky Mozart's tyrant half-sister Kinkajou was still as stubborn as ever. Carlos didn't care who was dominant female as long as he got to mate with someone instead of going back to roving so he left it to the two sisters to decide who got to lead the group(though he was hoped Mozart would win).

Meanwhile at the Whiskers Columbus and Daisy were babysitting Izzy, Buster, and Sugs. But the pups got bored quick. They had no intention on going on another nature walk seeing how bad the first, and also the last one had turned out. So they decided to count the number of rocks around their burrow, but the highest they ever got to was six. So then they decided to bird watch (around the burrow of coarse).Izzy spied a sparrow, Sugs spied a hornbill, and Buster spied a bunch of tall, strange birds.

"Izzy, Sugs look!"Screamed Buster."Ah!"Yelled Sugs."What are those things?" Asked Izzy."Oh they’re just ostriches guys," answered Daisy."Well, I don't care what they are they look freaky," said Izzy."Hey who you calling freaky yah rat, "said the Ostrich."Ahhhhhhh, how dare you say that to the future of the......"Um ah what she means is that your neck makes you look impressive Mr. Ostrich," said Daisy covering Izzy's mouth."The names William, but whatever,“ said the ostrich. Then he leaded his flock away."Oh well nice talking to yah Will," said Daisy.

Little did the babysitters know that the Zappa were surrounding them determined to get some of their land back. Not only had Flower taken their feeding ground, but their home to."Attaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!"Yelled Houdini. Then all the Zappa charged. The pups, and babysitters scampered into the burrow. Then the Zappa started to widen the burrow entrance trying to kill the pups. It looked hopeless. Then.........

"Aloha Lola Zappa who is also the wife of the number one arch-enemy of the Whiskers," said a voice."What?"Asked Lola. She turned around to see Einstein, and behind him were the rest of the Whiskers."Retreat!"Yelled Lola. Then all the Zappa ran away. But were the Whiskers to late. Nope. Soon the pups, and babysitters emerged from the deepest part of the burrow. Frank Zappa's plans of getting revenge on the Whiskers had failed............
