After everyone managed to calm down from that small incident, the meeting began. Snowball had held it for the simple purpose of learning about his new neighbors and friends cuz, turns out, he was a pet again. That fact seemed to unnerve Max and Duke a little bit but they got over their shock eventually. For the next three hours and a half, everyone introduced themselves. Pops even went into great detail with his life story.

Something nobody wanted to hear right now, let alone for three hours.

"...there I was with the first girl of my dreams," Pops stated, glancing over at Chloe. The tabby cat, along with everyone else, looked like she was gonna fall asleep. Sweetpea had already fallen asleep. Poor Norman could barely keep his eyes open as he tried to listen. The elderly basset hound continued on with his grand tale, "It was just Bella and I, with no one to stop us from making our love official-"

"Oh would you look at the time! I'm supposed to go to a vet appointment in ten minutes!" Snowball exclaimed, interrupting Pops. Looking devastated, the basset hound cried, "Come on youngster! I was just getting to a good part-"

"I also have a vet appointment!" Buddy lied, jumping to his feet. Grabbing Sweetpea, Mel nodded his head rapidly as he added, "Me too."

"Me three!" Chloe meowed as she ran towards the window. Just like that, everyone left the apartment through the window or, in the case of little Norman, the air vents. That left Pops with Max and Duke. Clearing his throat, the old dog was about to pick up where he left off in his story when Duke grabbed him and placed him outside. Max quickly shut the window and locked it before he could get back in. Huffing, Pops left.

"Finally..." Max and Duke sighed as they flopped down on the floor, relieved to not hear the rest of the tale.
