“This is Felicity,” she said.

“She’s beautiful,” Danny said.

I had to admit, he was right. Felicity was all white, with long, silky fur and big blue eyes. Even Bert seemed mesmerized.

“Does she do any tricks?” Carl asked.

“Does she really have to?” Danny said.

“Not really,” Nina said. “My dad says her superpower is that she throws up a lot of hairballs because her fur is so long and thick. Which reminds me, I really should go and brush her.”

“I need to get Mudge his cuttlebone,” said Owen. He walked off, lugging the birdcage, the bird still rustling and squawking inside.

“I should go and check on Chunk and Rizzo and Ratatouille,” Carl said. “See you later, losers.”

“Ugh,” I said when Nina and Carl and Owen were all out of earshot.

“What?” said Danny.

“Nina’s cat is so beautiful, it could win just by sitting there,” I said. “And Carl has four rats. And who knows what Mudge can do?”

“Yeah, but you have Bert,” Danny reminded me. “You’re always talking about how special he is. You two know these tricks forward and backward. In my opinion, there’s no competition.”

“Okay,” I said.

Danny took me by the shoulders and looked right at me.

“Repeat after me: There is no competition,” he said.

“There is no competition,” I said.

“Mrow, mrow-ow,” said Bert.

“Sometimes I feel like you really understand me,” I told Bert.

He blinked at me. I blinked back.

“I think we’re ready,” I said.
