The Secret Life of Pets belongs to Illumination.

It was evening in New York city. Everyone was either out on the streets or in their homes. Inside a red apartment, on the second floor, a young girl and her mother were about to head out on their day.

"Okay bunny, I'll see you later!" yelled out the little girl to her white rabbit who was kept in her room with the door slightly opened.

"Alright, Molly, we gotta go sweetie!" Molly's mother told her as they headed out the door.

Snowball quietly watched them leave while chewing on a carrot. Once he heard the door shut and click, he got out of his 'normal-rabbit' act. He chewed on his carrot with concentration until it turned into a small key.

"A-ha!" Snowball claimed in victory.

Sticking the carrot-key into the lock of his cage, Snowball pushed open the cage door and hopped out. He looked at where the window had the fire escape. Hopping towards the desk that sat by the window, Snowball climbed onto the top and opened the window.

"Time to pay a few visits." Snowball told himself as he jumped out of the window and started heading up the ladder, searching for a certain small dog. "Okay, I'm on the second floor so TD has to be a little further up." Snowball thought to himself has he reached the third floor.

Peeking inside the large window, all he saw was Mel, who staring out the other window, enjoying the view outside. Shaking his head, Snowball kept going up the ladder.

Reaching the fourth floor, he peeked inside the window again. He noticed Buddy enjoying his time with the mixer in the kitchen. Chuckling, Snowball kept going.

"Definitely not Max." Snowball told himself out loud. Hopping up the ladder once more, he reached the fifth floor. Looking inside the window, he noticed Duke playing with a blue rubber ball. "Here we go!" Snowball happily said.

Knocking on the window to attract the big brown dog's attention, Snowball yelled out, "'Ey! Big dog! Over here!" Duke dropped the blue ball for a moment and turned towards the window. Noticing the white rabbit who was jumping and waving at him.

Duke smiled and ran towards the window.

"Hey Snowball! How's it going, man?" Duke asked as he opened the window to let the white rabbit in. Hopping from the window and landing on the floor, Snowball took the time to look around. "Well, I'm getting used to this life 'gain, if that's what ya mean." Snowball responded back.

"Good to hear that!" Duke happily said. He walked back to where his blue ball had been dropped. Before picking it up, he turned to Snowball who seemed to be looking around for something. Or more importantly, someone.

"Oh, and if you're looking for Max, he's by the door doing stuff." Duke told Snowball and turned back to play with the ball.

"Thanks for telling me, BD!" Snowball told Duke, hopping to where Max was. A muffled "uh-huh" was all he heard until he turned to the corner where the door was.

"Aw, thank you, Max! You're so sweet!" Snowball slowed down for a moment. He remembered that voice, it belonged to that white pom who he had kissed on the bridge a few days ago.

"It really does look good on you, Gidget." Snowball heard Max reply.

Slowly peeking out from the corner, Snowball saw Max sitting by the window, facing where Gidget lived across from him.

Just when Gidget was about to reply, Snowball hopped out, interrupting their chat.

"What up, TD!" Snowball yelled out happily, hopping next to Max. "Talking to your fluffy girlfriend over there, I see." Snowball teased the brown and white terrier. Max looked down at him in surprise before smiling and wagging his tail.

"Oh hey, uh, Snowball! You actually came!" Max happily said. Snowball chuckled before reply the terrier, "You know I would, TD," Snowball began, that is until he turned to look at the white pom who had been silent the whole time.

"You're girlfriend there seems a bit surprised to see me," Snowball told Max. "But of course, every girl I meet does that too." Snowball said, smirking at the white pom. Gidget stared in disbelief upon what the rabbit said.

Shaking her head, she moved closer to her window.

"Well of course I'm surprised! I thought you were still in the sewers!" Gidget yelled out to the white rabbit in confusion. She looked at Max, "Max, why didn't you tell me he was a pet?" she raised a eyebrow at him. Max looked at her with a worried look.

"Well I just kinda, sorta, forgot to tell you uh," Max stumbled with his words. "I mean just, uh," Snowball suddenly interrupted him.

"Look, tiny dog here just forgot to tell you, 'sides," Snowball began in a smooth voice. "I believe I may have heard some of my boys calling me." Snowball hopped away from Max, but not before turning back to look at the couple.

"I'll be seeing you two later!" Snowball hopped his way past Duke, who seemed to be eating, and hopped up the window that led to the fire escape.

"Later my dogs!" Snowball hopped onto the railing, sliding down up on them. Making it easier for him to get back to his floor quicker.

"Bye Snowball!" was the last thing he heard before sliding down the railing.
