Last chapter now.
After this only the epilogue to go.
Enjoy
The day came and went; nothing much happened; people went to work, laughed, complained, watched TV like they always did. The Sphere Calvary never came, no one remembers that dark future which never existed, but for those who did, it still existed, like the echo of a dream. No one even remembers any reference of the spheres, Atized took care of that; Henry Nosax (who was under the influence of Atized by Sirius too during that horrible time) did his best to remove all records of it, trying to help the world for the better, of course it only lead to more conspiracy theories, none of them even came close to the truth. The only proof you can have of it actually happening can be found in his Book of Secrets or by asking a small group of the Dearly dogs (if you can understand what they’re saying).
As for the pups; returning to the farm didn’t need much explaining, in fact; nobody even knew they were gone. But still; it was good to see everyone again, Kit, Nuke, Ace, Drake, Belchic, Tac (much to Lucky’s disappointment), and Marcus, all living alive and well, and all with no memory of what happened (that what comes from not being in the eye of the storm).
Like all the other creatures on Earth, they played their day out normal, sometimes taking things for granted; but for those who knew what hell 4 years can be treated it will every last respect they could give.
On one part of the farm, a small pup who had marks over his eyes which came in the shapes of an O & an X, while on top of his head, three flicks of hair with the tips dyed black, sat on the bank of the lake known as Hiccup Hole. It was one of those rare occasions where he actually left the shed he could usually have been found him, however; he was only out to run his precious experiments of his. At his side a little red cart stood, in it; many glass phials containing many different colored liquids that all bubbled in proportion.
Tac held one of the phials in the grip of his paw and dipped it into the water before lifting and observed how the powder he had within the phial responded to the water. He continued to watch it for a few seconds before he felt two arms rapped around his body from behind and giving him a tight squeeze. When the grip loosened, he fell over, knocking over his red cart and spilling all the phials which it was carrying.
Tac looked up to see the figure which had hugged him; the figure was female, she had blue eyes with a pink collar and along her back seemed to be the shape of a dragon.
“What’s you’re problem Kendra!!?” Tac snarled “Can’t you see you just ruined my workings here!!?” he pointed to the tip over cart in which use to contain all his chemicals but were now spilt all over the ground.
Kendra on the other hand just smiled and told Tac “I just want to say…I don’t blame you.” She then nodded at the genius pup and instantly ran off.
Tac just rolled his eyes before bending over and started to pick up any few remains of his experiments and putting them back on the cart.
On another part of the farm, a small female pup sat alone beneath the tree outside the barn, she had been told that someone wanted to talk to her but she wasn’t told who had called her. Dipstick watched her from a distance; he took a deep breath before walking towards her. “Dottie?”
The female pup turned in the direction which called her name. “Oh hey Dipstick.” She nodded “Are you the one who asked me to come here?”
“Yes it was.”
“Well, what do you want then?”
In the house, Anita was on the phone to Dr. Whittaker “Yes Doctor, I’m sure that the pups will be ok for their check ups next Friday. Ok…Thank you.”
Dr Whittaker put the phone down and wrote the date on her clipboard. While she was doing this, another doctor approached her, his hair was a golden blonde while his eyes shone with a blue texture, he spoke “Dr. Whittaker, can I ask you something.”
“Yes Dr. Splendid.” Dr Whittaker nodded “What is it?”
“What you want Dipstick?”
“Errrrr…”
“Er…Um…”
“I just wanted to say that…errrr.”
“I’m just asking whether…You would…”
“I.errr.”
“Would you…Mind coming to…”
“Oh forget it.” Dipstick turned his head and walked away from Dottie, his head hung in shame.
“Oh forget it.” Dr. Splendid waved his hand to the side and ran away, pretending somebody had called him.”
Over by the Chow Tower, Doc, Clayton & Lucky ate some of the kibble which had been filled into the trough.
“Boy” It’s good to taste something decent after all these years!” Clayton smiled “Cause once you tasted what I was fed on The Odyssey, anything would taste nice. Some hotel that was, last time I book online.”
“Years?” Doc grinned “It’s only been since lunch yesterday anyone would think you last ate.”
Lucky took his muzzle out of the trough and gave a small chuckle “You know, time was; every last person on this planet knew our names…Now they’ve all just forgotten.”
“Good.” Doc nodded. While they talked; Kendra walked over and started eating out of the trough. While she did this she gave a sigh, the boys turned to look at her “What’s wrong Kendra?” Lucky asked.
“Oh…It’s nothing.” Kendra shook her head, Clayton however took a guess “You’re upset about what happened to your friend; Alex, aren’t you?” Kendra gave a small nod.
“The future is never written Kendra.” Doc tried to comfort her “It’s all a bunch of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff. He may not choose to go with Sirius, he just needs to be responsible with his choice. Does that help?”
Kendra gave another small, yet uncertain nod.
“Well…” Lucky took a deep breath “Back to work.” He was about to turn away however Clayton asked “You alright.”
“Yeah.” Lucky shrugged “It’s just, during that time, the time that never was, I had time to think; and I kept thinking about that gang of mine. Rolly, Cadpig, Two-Tone, Spot (I actually did think about Spot at some points). Like you said Doc, Responsibility.”
“Protecting the farm.” Doc continued grinning “Can’t argue with that.”
“Saving the farm’s nothing compare to what you guys did.” Lucky pointed to the trio “You guys saved the world.”
“No.” Kendra shook her head “It wasn't [b[just[/b] us three. It was all of us, every single Dearly there was, without them; I’m not sure I ever would of made it one quarter around the world.”
“You know…” Clayton rubbed the back of his neck “I always thought that some of the pups here say they’re the one and only heroes for this farm, but there just as good as each other. You will never be victorious if you always stand alone.”
Lucky grinned “Just in case you’re interested…Me, Rolly, Patch and Sanka are thinking of starting a team of male heroes. We’ll be calling it ‘The Heroic Harem’. I’m sure we’ll be ok with you guys joining.”
“We’ll be there on opening day.” Clayton gave a wink.
Lucky chuckled, he turned away again before turning back once again “But I keep wondering.” He told the others “Since that I’m going have to repeat 4 years of my life and going into adulthood, might…you know…may effect my interest in other people. What if I grow up and my mate is a Gay?”
“I’m sure Two-Tone will be very happy with you.” Doc nodded, Lucky chuckled “Ok, Vanity sorry…Can’t help it. I mean, I love Two-Tone. Want to grow up together and have kids, we’re already thinking of names. If we have a some, we’ll call him Lucky Jr. If we have a girl we’ll either call her Clover…Or Beyonca.” When she heard that name, the smile on Kendra’s face seemed to vanish.
“I’ll see you.” Lucky gave the three a thumbs up before turning around and running off to a group contain 1 male pup, 2 female pups and a chicken.
“Can’t be…” Kendra gasped.
“What?” Doc and Clayton looked at her, “What can’t be?” Doc asked.
“Beyonca was a resistance member, I met her on the day Sirius took control, she looked so similar to Two-Tone, she even had a brother, peculiar name; Locks Funoy.”
“Locks Funoy?” Clayton raised his eyebrow “You do know what that is don’t you?” Kendra shook her head.
“It’s an anagram.”
“Of what?”
Clayton paused, he turned back to look at the horseshoed pup before turning back and answering “Son Of Lucky.”
The eyes of all three of them widened.
“No. Defiantly not, No.” Doc waved his paw about, trying to deny it, before he, Clayton and Kendra burst out into laughter.
When they finished laughing, Kendra asked the boys “So, Nanny’s taking some of us for a walk in the city later. You fancy on coming?”
“Nah…” The boys shook their heads “Roger’s finished a new game.” Doc told Kendra “And he’s been able to put it on the console in the barn.” Clayton nodded.
“Alright then.” Kendra turned away “See Ya.”
Kendra was soon on her leash and walking around Gruteley, the city was fully restored, well; nothing even happened to it, shops and businesses were open with many staff members walking in and out of buildings and in one street, Kendra saw that little mustard house she use to call home being sold. She walked amongst a group of other pups who wanted to go out as well, all of them tugging on their leashes’ which were held in the firm grip of Nanny’s hand.
They soon reached a store in which Nanny stopped to talk to some kind of Jamaican guy sweeping outside (Nanny usually calls him Harris) while next door was a bike shop. Usually Kendra always saw a small chubby Husky which always looked down at her from the bike store window, however today, she wasn’t there. Kendra just simply ignored it.
She then heard a small scruffily noise coming from the alleyway next to the bike shop, she caught a small glimpse of something within it and on that she started tugging on her leash until it was able to be pulled out of Nanny’s hand, she ran into the alleyway and a while later; Nanny realized Kendra was gone and went in after her.
In the alley, a dog sat underneath a piece of cardboard, his gut was aching like hell as if his body was telling him that it officially hated him and his vision seemed to of gone off to the right side.
He had gone to this gig the previous night held by these two guys, what were they called again? Oh yeah, Hat and Lon. Well they got hold of some sort of water which tasted nice, but after a while of drinking it, their minds just seemed to turn off. They lost any sense in their diction and sometimes said stuff they didn’t mean, started doing some sort of ridiculous dance that involved them acting as if they had invisible hula hoops and then later they puked all over the pavement. He even saw a dog like him of the opposite gender at the party as well, however to his disappointment; she was more interested in that Hat guy, she got into a right strop when he fell asleep.
The dogs head continued to ache like a million hammers hitting all simultaneously, he couldn’t bear life any longer. Even his ears were against him; every sound seemed to be multiplying to the brink in which his ear drums might burst. Even the footsteps which seem to approach him sounded like a car dropping.
Wait a minute? Footsteps? He heard the noise of tapping of feet which seemed to of been coming nearer and nearer to him. He looked up.
At first his vision seemed a bit blurry (thanks to Hat & Lon’s so called ‘Water’) but pretty soon; the image became clearer and what he was a feminine pup looking down at him, her appearance seemed so what familiar; she had blue eyes, blacks ears (with a white mark on her right one) and upon her body seemed to form t a spot shaped like a dragon, she spoke “Hello Alex.”
Alex instantly snapped out of his drunken condition and instantly gave a huge smile “KENDRA!” He sprang up and wrapped his arms around her. Kendra stayed still, Alex did smell bad, however she gave a small smile “Come on.” She told Alex “I’m taking you home.”
Nanny was soon able to find Kendra; the small female pup seemed to of taken a liking to some Retriever she found in the alleyway. At first Nanny felt unsure with taking the stray home, but after some puppy dog eyes from Kendra, she finally gave in.
Alex was taken back to the farm. He was given a flea bath as well as a haircut and a green collar which had his name ‘Alex’ on it (That’s the thing with humans. They’re always able to figure out your real name). He was then placed on the patio step where he took a long look at the farm in which he can now call home. This was the sort of thing he had been looking for; all the possibilities of adventure and excitement, and it was his for the taking. He took a deep breath and a smile before jumping off the patio and into the great wilders of the farm.
As he ran off, Kendra watched him from within the barn. She gave a proud nod before coming up to Clayton & Doc (still playing Rogers new game). While they played; they talked to one another.
“So Doc?” Clayton asked “If Lucky & Two-Tones’ kids were able to current day. Tell me. Is it possible it could happen again?”
“Nah.” Doc shook his head “Beyonca & Lucky Jr. were probably just a leak in the time stream when the Paradox Machine activated. I don’t think that anything like that cold possibly happen…”
Before he could finish, he gave a hard pull on the joystick. The room instantly started to shake and rock about along with its occupants (which were only Clayton, Doc & Kendra).
Outside the barn, you can hardly tell anything was happening, however inside; it felt like a roller coaster.
It soon stopped, by then; the barn seemed to of been filled with some kind of fog. The pups inside felt dizzy as well.
“What was all that for eh?” Doc tapped the controller; he picked it up and shook it about, seeing if it had anything to do with it.
While he did this, three new pups seemed to of walked past them. At first the two trios just gave small nods as they past, however the both stopped and turned back to look at one other.
With this new group of pups, something seemed different. One of them seemed to of had ears which looked like dots you would normally expect to see on a domino (and to support that, a domino hung from their scarlet collar.) Another looked a lot like Dipstick only along with his tail looking like it had been dipped in black paint, his front paws seemed to look the same. The third one was female, he had a pink spotted colour and a feature that would really make her stand out in a crowd is the fact she had no spots at all.
And with all the confusion, the six could only bring themselves to say three words.”
“What?” “What?” and “What?”
The End
After this only the epilogue to go.
