Crosswise felt like hyperventilating as Tic Tac and Two Tone walked out of the barn together, nuzzling each other’s heads as they went. Lucky went off in his own direction, but not before shooting Tac a wink.
Clearly, something went horribly wrong. While Crosswise knew he was far from perfect he couldn’t believe himself to be this completely stupid either. “What happened?” He asked himself as he climbed down from the loft. “Okay, okay. Backtrack: I went to the shed, found the vials, got surprised by Dipstick, got the right vial, left, came back and—Dipstick!” Crosswise growled.
Okay, so he knew what went wrong: Obviously Dipstick got the vials mixed up. Instead of Lucky mistrusting his friends and close ones, Tac and Two Tone were all lovey-dovey and Lucky and Tac were the best of pals! This was all wrong. Still, knowing what went wrong and why doesn’t solve the problem of how to fix it.
“I need some help with this…” Tac was straight out. “Maybe I should ask Dipstick to help…naah.” Crosswise shook his head. He was desperate but he wasn’t THAT desperate.
So who else could he turn to help? When the answer came Crosswise couldn’t help but groan. Crosswise—seeing no other choice—ran off to look for his only hope for Tic Tac. He found them standing outside the barn apparently waiting for Lucky.
“Cadpig! I need your help.” Crosswise panted as he ran over to her, Spot and Rolly.
“Oh hi…um…” She tried to remember his name, failed, and coughed to cover the awkwardness. “Well my office hours are always open and I can schedule therapy appointments to work around whatever activities you have previously planned.”
“It’s not for me!” Crosswise snapped.
“Don’t tell me, it’s for ‘a friend.’” Cadpig guessed sarcastically. “Now, now…” she petted his paw gently. “The first step in getting cured is admitting that you have a problem and need help. Coming to me was a good start. Denial only sets you back.”
“I am not in denial!” Crosswise shouted.
“Denying denial is still denial!” Cadpig chirped.
“I didn’t come here for therapy!” Crosswise groaned.
“Acupuncture then?” Cadpig asked as she picked up a box of needles.
“NO!” Crosswise yelped and shied away. “There’s a problem with Tac. He’s not behaving like himself. He’s being all nice and friendly and—”
“Aww, he’s finally broken through the walls of anger and guilt and started to rejoin the world. Trust me, it’s a good step.”
“He’s kissing Two Tone and behaving like Lucky’s his best friend.” Crosswise pointed out.
“Oh he’s just a nutter-butter then.” Cadpig noted. “What happened?”
“Well…” Crosswise sighed. “I may have sorta doused Tac and Two Tone and Lucky with a powder that—wouldn’t you know it?—alter their moods and feelings towards one another?”
“Is this one of Tac’s stupid plans that went and backfired on him?” Rolly groaned.
“No, this is MY stupid plan that went and backfired!” Crosswise snapped. “I mean—argh! Never mind! The point is we have to cure them!”
“Why?” Spot asked. “If Tac isn’t out to get everyone anymore, shouldn’t we just accept it?”
“I can give you three good reasons why you should help me.” Crosswise told her. “Number One: Because it’s not natural, not normal feelings, Number Two: Because the constant displays of affection between Two Tone and Tic Tac are so nauseating that no one will be able to stand it, and Number Three: Because I will turn you into drumsticks if you DON’T.”
“Persuasive arguments.” Spot gulped. “So what’s the plan?”
“I’m not that good with plans.” Crosswise admitted.
“Trust me, we’ve noticed.” Cadpig said. “How does this powder of Tac’s work? Is there an antidote?” Crosswise shook his head.
“No, since the effects are temporary a cure is kind of pointless.”
“So it’ll wear off. That’s good.” Cadpig noted.
“Unfortunately this dosage won’t wear off for almost a day.” Crosswise pointed out.
“That’s bad.” Spot winced.
“There shouldn’t be any lasting effects though.” Crosswise added.
“That’s good.” Rolly said.
“The powder contains potassium benzoate.” Rolly just looked confused so Crosswise elaborated. “That’s bad.”
“Can we just get to the point?” Spot groaned. “How do you get the powder out of their system?”
“Well we’d have to wash the powder out of their fur. It’s absorbed through the skin and through breathing it in.” Crosswise mused. “Drinking some liquids should help too.”
“Sounds simple enough, just get them wet!” Cadpig said. “What’s the problem?”
“Well we need a special kind of soap Tac developed and scrub it out of their fur…and in case you guys haven’t noticed we’re not really equipped to hold down three puppies and give them a good scrubbing.” Crosswise explained.
“Hmmm, that is a bit of a poser.” Cadpig admitted. “But with creative thinking and high hopes nothing will stop us! And besides,” she continued. “What’s the worst that could happen in one day?”
“Like oh my gosh have you all heard?” Jewel asked in excitement as she ran up to them. “Two Tone and Tic Tac are like, in love or some junk!” Crosswise felt a cold shiver and gulped as if someone had just walked over his grave.
“Um, you aren’t going to tell anybody what you saw right?” He asked in desperate hope. Jewel just looked at him.
“Like, you’re the last people I have to tell. I mean they started kissing, like, right in the middle of the farm: Everybody saw!”
“Everbody?” Crosswise whimpered. Jewel nodded.
“Like totally! I have to get the pictures ready!”
“Pictures?” Crosswise felt a nerve above his eye twitch.
“Gah! They wanted to like, plaster the farm with proof of their love, so we got a camera and took some pictures and junk. It’s like totally romantic or some junk, right? Now we’re going to make posters of them and hang them up all over the farm!”
Crosswise moaned and covered his face. “I’m screwed.”
