Before long, Rico had looked back up, but yet, Tac was still in his shed "Man, when is he ever going to leave?" he thought out loud "But looking at this definitly reminds me of that time I found that Playboy magazine in the trash can, because it's all dirty" He chuckled o himself at his own joke, though no one else would've found it funny. Instead of sticking around, he decided to leave and head back to the barn.
"Hey Rico, did you find out anything?" asked Lucky. "Nah, all he had were charts and a suitcase" replied Rico. "Did you get to look in the suitcase?" "Nah man, I was still outside, that Tac dude was still there, but my best guess is that suitcase was full of Playboy magazines, ya know?" Lucky just looked at Rico for a few second before speaking again "So, you never went inside?" "Nah, couldn't get in ya know? All locked and what have you" "And...did you try the lock at all?" "Why would I? I mean, he was still inside, and if James Bond has taught me anything is to never got in there without a weapon to kill them with, which I didn't have, so I had to stay low man" replied Rico.

Aria was out cold. She didn’t dream, or even think anything while her wounds were healed, and her body began to try and produce the missing blood. She’d need to eat and drink, but she’d be fine. No, she didn’t have the worse of the confrontation. Her body was plush, and would almost mold into Rip’s as he carried her; even with the extra weight she carried, it probably wouldn’t be anything for the cyber enhanced pup. It would be during his trek to find a donor for his brother that she’d finally stir, giving a faint yawn against the back of his ear. Realizing that they were moving, but not trying to stand herself, she remained flopped parallel on his body.
“Mn..?” Her mismatched eyes glanced at the bubble, then down over to the side, where she saw his puppy paws trekking along the farm. Remembering what had happened, she sighed faintly and simply rested her head against the back of Rip’s, her eyes closing once more. She was still too weak to do anything, let alone put up a fight while being helped. She pressed her slightly dry nose into the back of his ear, letting him know that she was at least conscious, but still unable to really do anything. Her arms wrapped around his neck faintly, just to make sure she didn’t fall off; but her grip was pathetic.
”…thank you…”
It’d be the only noise she’d make against the back of his ear, trying to gather up her strength.

"Hm?" Rip felt her shuffing around a bit. That was a good sign. At least she was already conscious. Not expecting a "thank you" or anything of that nature, he was pretty shocked when she did give him appreication. That pretty much drove all the doubt he had for her and he instantly forgave her for everything. Not one to really hold a grudge anyway. He kept a straight face but smiled mentally. He knew she wasnt a mean pup all the while, though only kidding himself.
The barn doors were open and he pushed Razor inside stopping every now and then to strengthen the hold on Aria and himself. Once fully inside he scanned everyone nearby and noticed Crystal had the same type. Rip sighed already knowing what was about to happen.
"Hey Crystal, I need to..." It was too late. She freaked out. Seeing your boyfriend bloodly, and in a bubble was the last thing you'd expect. But at least she wasnt trying to hit on Rip...or Aria's weaken state...yet.
"Omg what happened!" She asked.
"I'll tell you in a sec." Then he went on telling her how Razor needed a blood donor and she volunteered instantly. So Rip proceeded with the procedure after undoing the bubble around him.
"He'll be better in no time." Rip told her but now saw the way she was looking at Aria.
"Her name's Aria, a new pup to the farm of course." Rip tried to walk away but she followed.
"She's cute." Crystal smiled. "Reminds me of Two-Tone...almost.
"Yeah she is cu..." He almost said it. Though, he didnt deny it either. He just continued on.

She kept quiet, simply staying on Rip’s shoulders and not causing a big fuss. When she heard Crystal’s voice, she didn’t look up, or even act conscious. Maybe if she stayed quiet enough, they’d think she had passed out again. She listened to Rip explain to this unknown female pup what had happened, her ears lowering. Well, no… none of it had really been her fault. Rocky had attacked her for no reason. And that other puppy, she hadn’t asked for his help, it wasn’t her fault any of them had gotten hurt.
Her ears perked at the mention of her being ‘cute’. She was just about to snap at Crystal for saying such a thing, when she heard Rip almost agree. Ears lowering faintly, she gave a confused little look, before lifting her head with a grunt. “Nng. Jus’ find a spot of hay for me n’ I’ll be good.” She muttered, finally glancing over at Crystal. Great, another one that was larger than her.
Aside from that malnourished puppy with the big head she saw earlier, Aria would bet she was the smallest one on this farm. Giving the other female puppy a sort of blank stare, she didn’t even have the strength to act like her little grumpy self.

Rico noticed Rip bringing Aria into the barn "Hey, it's that new chica, whatever her name is, ya know?" Lucky just shook his head, mainly cause he wasn't sure of her name at all. "Hey, tombstone!" Rico called out to Rip, as he wasn't all that good at some names. "It's Rip dude" Lucky reminded him. "It is? Oh yeah, Rip, she's not dead is she?" he asked curiously, as to him, she looked rather dead.

Crystal still proceeded to follow and Rip continued to ignore her for the moment. He felt Aria's warm moist breath up against his ear as she spoke softly.
"Alright, I gotcha a nice spot." Crystal noticed her mixed eyes staring back at her. She only smiled. Rip stopped when a really small dog appeared asking who the mystery character was he holding was.
"Her name is Aria and she needs rest." He continued on, eventually teleporting along with Aria to a nice lonely spot. He gently settled her down on his own makeshift spot of pillows, as hay had the tendency to poke one's soft underside.
"There ya go..." From his chest, a compartment opened up and a small clear collar fell to the floor. He was about to place it around her neck but stopped and decided that he'd explain first what it was and then she could decide if she wanted it or not.
"This is a temporary cloaking device. Only works three times and each lasts about 5 minutes. I thought you might want this since the other pups seem to be buggin you around every corner. Just put it on your neck or arm and it'll self adjust then press down on it and you'll go invisible to everyone. I'll bring you some food and water. You must be starving." Then he left for a bit gathering everything he needed.

"Aria eh? Now that's a good name man, ya know?" he asked at first as he glanced at her with a quick shudder "Man, she definitly reminds me of that other fat chica, but she looks like one of them vampires ya know? Kinda reminds of Barney, just plain creepy"

Aria glanced up at the small dog when he got in the way, trying to summon a growl from her throat, only to let out a soft ‘Rrnn’ sound. Just letting Rip do the talking and all, she gave a soft groan when he finally let her off his back, stumbling some before flopping into what she assumed was hay. Instead, her little body sunk pleasantly into the pillows, half lidded eyes glancing up at Rip and giving a soft murmur of thanks. One of her ears, the one with the treble shaped spot on it flopped over her half of her face, and she nuzzled into the bedding even more.
It had his scent, the tired and dormant smell; compared to that when he was awake, at least. Glancing at the clear collar, she wriggled her little nosepad at it, and hung onto his words as he explained it. “Thanks.” Was all she’d say, reaching out with a paw to slide the ring onto her arm, watching it fasten itself around her wrist-area like a little bracelet.
Pulling her arm back, she only nodded and curled up into a plush ball, her head half-hanging off of a pillow as she watched him leave. He wasn’t so bad, she’d decide silently to herself. Food and water would be good. Then maybe another nap, just to gain her strength.

"Hey!" It was Crystal. She hadnt like the fact that Rico was comparing Aria to Twotone and the usual name calling.
"TwoTone isnt fat! Unlike you, ya little skinny runt." Then she went back over to Razor, hugging him and laid there till he was conscious again.
"Gotta find something of her liking." There wasnt much to choose from cept for the goodies that lied inside the Dearly's fridge. Making his way inside by his usual means, he managed to avoid the pets, Pongo and his mate. Once there, he raided the fridge and took a nicely sized slab of steak.
"Too easy..." He thought and even chuckled to himself till a pair of human hands picked up him. Darn that Nanny. How could he forget about her?
"Hey! What are doing in the fridge?" Nanny spoke, not actually expecting Rip to respond back.
"Feeding a weary friend of mine..." Rip said using his collar to translate his barks and yips from the side of his mouth while holding firm to his stolen good. The shock of a talking dog took her by surprise and she dropped him by accident but before he could hit the ground he teleported out the house with the meat.
"Close, but no cigar..." Now for the water. Luckily there was a hose outside and some unused bowls nearby it. He gathered the needed water and went back to the resting Aria setting everything near reach for her.
"Hope ya like steak. It was hell gettin it, almost." He sat down in front of her but turned his back to her as it was naturally rude to stare at someone while they ate.

"Man, that comeback was as lame as President Bush giving one of his speeches" replied Rico, though he gave another quick shiver at Aria before glancing over at Crystal "But man, this place is as boring as the Playboy Mansion when it's empty, I'm gonna go find something else to do, ya know?" Though, he didn't even expect a reply as he decided to just leave the barn anyway.

Aria had begun to doze off some while he was off getting food and water; what she had assumed was some spare kibble. She didn’t dream; she hardly did anyway so it was no shock to the curled up ball of a puppy. When Rip returned, her little nose gave a twitch or two at the smell of something much more delicious than just kibble. Glancing up at him as he spoke, she then noticed the water and steak, ears perking suddenly.
“Uh… y’didn’t have too…” She wasn’t really the type to complain when something good happened to her, so she cut herself off before scooting herself off of the pillows weakly. Lowering her head, she lapped at the steak a few times before opening her jaws and beginning to gnaw on it. Once she got the first bite, she realized how hungry she was and began to tear into it a bit more.
Pausing only to take a drink of water, she put away a lot of the steak, having plenty room and needing it all to help recover. “Hey, uh, Rip. I can’t eat all of this… you want some?” She offered in a soft mutter, licking her chops after she had her fill.

Rico took off, but stopped Zoe and came to a halt before speaking to her "Hey, did you check out that new chica on the farm?" Though, Zoe didn't even reply, so Rico spoke again "Hello? Are you there, ya know?" Zoe glanced at him and spoke in a sort of annoyed tone "What?" "Man, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, ya know?" he added in as he decided to head off, leaving Zoe alone. Zoe only shook her head and went back to what she was doing, having a glance through a book on curses.

Rip smiled as Aria ate and replenished her strength and stability. He looked over his shoulder breifly then noticed she hadnt finished. She offered him the rest but he really didnt want to take it though it looked really tasty.
"That's alright Aria. Save it for later. I dunno if i can get anymore of that stuff anyway." She was quite still worn out, but no matter, the food was to surely make her better in no time. Rip stood up and walked away deciding to leave her to be when he stopped for a second.
"You want anything else? Blanket? More water? A back massage?" He chuckled at himself for making such a comment. Was he really that serious? And if she for some reason said yes, then what? He decided he should go anyway but stayed just to see her answer, whatever it may be.

Aria blinked and nodded, glancing down at the half eaten steak when he refused it, nodding. “Uh, kay. But y’know you didn’t have to get me the steak. Kibble woulda been good enough.” She tilted her head and gave a few weak and off-balance scratches with her hind leg. Giving a sigh, she stuck her maw into her water bowl and began to lap up a bit more water. Licking her chops free of any droplets, she began to turn back around to the pillows.
His words caused her to freeze, and the puppy looked over her shoulder at him in confusion. Arching a little brow, she suddenly burst into laughter and continued onto the pillows, flopping down onto them. “Yeah right. Sorry bud, not on the first rescue.” She snickered softly, teasing him.
”But seriously, I’m good. Don’t worry ‘bout me. I’m a tough lil’ witch.”

Rip smiled brightly.
"Yeah, its cool and you're no real witch. I can tell." He laughed.
"Well, you enjoy yourself and if things get hectic, be sure to use that clear collar." With a little wink, Rip hopped down from the top layer of the barn and vanished in mid air. ----
With Razor finally awake, Crystal was the first he saw in his face.
"Man...that was crazy." He rubbed his eyes but didnt bother to get up still feeling a bit dizzy. Crystal kissed him on the nose and laid back down next to him.
"Rocky really did a number on ya. You really should do something about him." She yawned, fairly tired herself.
"Yeah, I know. That pup is something else." Razor sighed and stretched out all his limbs then placed his thick arms around Crystal's side. ----
Rocky was up on his feet. Looking around and only seeing alot of water. He was still at hiccup hole. Though he didnt remember ever coming here in the first place. Whatever. He didnt care. He was alone, just like he liked it. He sighed and walked into the thick bushes and grass in a somewhat direction toward the barn. For some reason, he felt good. No, not good. Just...content. Why? It was unknown. He thought about what had happened before. It was all blank. Oh well. He stopped a moment to scratch an itch on his neck with his left hindpaw. Then for some reason, he smelled blood. He touched his neck with a paw and saw small specks of drying blood. It wasnt his. At all. The smell was familiar but unreconizable by name. It then hit him and the reason he couldnt remember anything. He growled. He knew Rip must've done something to him, that, or the smell of medicine gave it away. He'd find Rip, hoping to get answers. True answers, and not false ones like normally. This he hated. He hated having to consult to Rip. The only one he'd be force to talk to. Even if he didnt want to talk, Rip would force him to. And there wasnt much he could do, but submit. With that being the only reason he hated Rip so much, he be okay with him if he was normal...though not likely. There were plenty of normal pups. More like, if Rip was his old self, before the sudden transformation.
