Dante begged when T.J. came to the door and panted, wagging his stubby tail. When T.J. asked if he was hungry Dante leaped up on him, almost knocking him over. He lapped at T.J.'s face and danced around when he saw him come out with some scraps. Dante gave a loud bark of approval and scarfed down his food. "Okay", said Dante, between bites and swallows. "Being a house dog isn't so bad. If you live like Donny that is!" He noticed Britany over by Nicky and Recks and called out to her. "Hey Britany!", Dante called. "You're missing the free eats! Hurry up or Donny'll eat it all!" Dante went back to eating then looked inside, almost choking on his turkey. There, sitting at the table, was his owner Curtis. "What the?", said Dante. "When did Curtis get here? Was he here this whole time?" Dante snorted. "He's gonna take me home for sure!", Dante wailed. "I'm having fun! Not only does Soapy ruin my fun but so does Curtis!"
(OOC-Really hate how this came out. T'was rushed.)

Don pondered the moment. He wasn't shocked that Curtis was there, he knew that already. He just didn't want to tell Dante. "You could hide somewhere... Jack has plenty when hes hiding from me when hes in trouble..." Don suggested. He looked around at the large garden he had. "Theres a good one over here..." he said, taking across the garden. He came across a fox hole. Jack had dug at it several times, so it was big enough for just about anyone to get through. "Its an ole foxes den. Not much civilisation, but its a really good hiding spot. Plus T.J should be clearing off his guests right now, so you won't stay h ere for very long. I'll keep checking, just in case, and if Curtis comes your way, I'll stop him. I can scare alot of people" Don said, digging up a hole and taking out shaving cream he had hidden. "Spray this over my mouth at it'll scare everyone. Of course I always give hints away to T.J its only shaving cream."
Britany stole a glance at Recks and Nicky. She watched them make thier moves and stuff. She was well afraid of doing anything wrong with these two. She gulped down silently and looked at the road again, watching the cars roll by. She wasn't sure what Don, Dante, Jack or Soapy were up too, but she heard Dante complain about his owner being here. She chuckled silently. Surely Don wasn't hiding him in that bush Jack always hid in? Or maybe that great foxes den Jack dug up? "Um, Recks have you been here very long, or have you been called here?" she said, trying to start a friendly conversation with these guys, so she won't end up like Jack. "Yenno... on a mission?"

Dante gave a sneaky smirk at Don when he mentioned Dante hiding and followed him to the fox hole. When Don showed it was uninhabited Dante took a walk towards it and took a sniff. "You sure there aren't any foxes in there?", said Dante, his head under the bush, looking in the hole. "I heard about this brotha who encountered one and it gave him rabies, ya know, the disease everyone thinks I have? Only this brotha had it for real!" Dante stepped back a little when Don reached inside. "Don't do it Donny!", said Dante. "You have a wife and a kid.....and a gang!" Dante was a little embarrassed when all that Don pulled out was a can of shaving cream. "You keep a can of shaving cream in a fox hole", said Dante, more of a statement than a question. "There's somethin wrong with you brotha!" Dante sat down, lifted his fore paw, and nudged the can with it. "You realize it's probably 20 degrees out here", said Dante. "It probably won't work because it's frozen solid! One spray and all you get is air I bet". Dante put his paw down and rolled his eyes up. "This idea is getting worse and worse", Dante sighed. "And won't T.J. stop you before you can do anything? I mean Curtis is an old friend of your family." Dante looked at Don and glared. "A slave", said Dante. "But a friend nonetheless. What with him working for them at the power plant." Dante sighed and tried out the hole, only half of it covering him to his stomach as he sat down in it, the top half of him all caught in the bush above, his ears sticking out of the bush. He had himself hunched over so that his head wouldn't stick out of the bush. "Uh...Donny", said Dante. "We have a problem. My ears. How will you explain this one? Wild gigantic rabbits? And I swear I just felt something move under me. Oh! There it is again". Dante tried to look down but he was caught in the bush. "I'm stuck!", Dante moaned. Donny I'll...." Before Dante could finish a voice interrupted him. "DANTE! HERE BOY!" Dante's eyes became as big as dinner plates and he shoved his head through the bush to see Curtis standing out front. "Oh blast", said Dante.
"I can't thank you enough", said Curtis, shaking T.J.'s dad's hand then T.J.'s. "I had a good time. Thanks for inviting me. And thank you so much for the present. I could use one of these. Hope Dante likes his. I hope you get everything you want for Christmas T.J." Dante saw him walking down the sidewalk, turning back to wave. "Have a very Merry Christmas", Curtis called. "Come, Dante!" "Woah wait", said Dante. "Presents? For me? Really?!" With that Dante leaped out of the bush and ran towards Curtis. "There you are!", said Curtis. "I hope you had just as nice a night as I did". Dante jumped up and down, smelling a bag Curtis was holding. "So you heard me talk about your present did you?", laughed Curtis. "You'll get it when we get home ok?" Dante barked and wagged his stump of a tail as Curtis clipped his collar on and looked back at Don, nodding his head up in a goodbye then walked with Curtis to his car and hopped inside.
(OOC-Yes, sadly Dante is gone for now but don't worry. Soapy will come back. And look! Curtis does talk! Its a miracle! LOL. And whew! Longest post I made on here. Fingers....falling....off.....pain)

Don laughed, watching Dante get into the hole and he fell back onto his back and gasped for air. "I never laughed that hard since the time Jack came home with a rabbit saying he caught a wolf!" Don saw his ears and his eyes welled up with tears, as he laughed even harder. "Relax, its nothing... just a few frogs I thyought were dead" Jack said, coming around the corner. He laughed when he saw Dante stuck in the hole. Finally both father and son stopped laughing when the heard T.J's voice and they ran over as fast as they can. Christy just stood by and watched. She wasn't much of a owners doggie. Don watched Dante come over, and heard the mention of presents. He looked up at T.J hopefully. "Don't worry boy, theres something specail for you too, for all three of you. But you'll have to wait for christmas day to get it" T.J said, ruffling Jacks gigner tufts playfully, even though he was talking to Don. Don knew T.J had this owner thing for Jack, but he couldn't blame him. Jack was just that adorable. Jack panted happily. "It was our pleasure Curtis" said T.J's dad. "Plus we're happy to have your dog here too. Taking him home then?" "Wait... hold this van... your going home?! I thought you hated the indoor life!" Don exclaimed. He didn't get an answer, but only a nod and a walk away. "Hey wait! Dante! WAIT!" Don ran after the doberman as fast as he could but the door closed just in time before Don could reach it. He started barking afterwards. He knew what this could lead to... "You can't go! You'll end up like all em sissy's! WAIT!" he screamed after the car. He quickly got his mind into one of a lost puppy and ran after it. "Wait! Donny!" Christy yelled, and took after them. Jack watched both his parents run away and shrugged. "If you can't beat em..." he muttered, and took after both of them. Jackw as quick on his feet and soon overtook his mother but he couldn't catch up with his dad. "Wait a sec... JACK! get back here!" Christy yelled. But Jack has having too much fun to stop and continued to run after his dad. Christy skidded to a stop and watched them both run after the car. "You can't leave! What happened to friendship and all that stuff?!" Don yelled, trying his best to yell and run at the same time. It didn't succeed, as Don tumbled over his paws and yelped in pain when he landed on his left back paw. Jack skidded past his father and stopped. "What happened?!" he asked. "Think I sprained something..." Don muttered, trying to get up. The fall defintly shook him up, as he had shakey legs as he tried to get up. "See? I knew this would happen!" Christy said, catching up with them. "Someone always gets hurt if you chase after a car!" Don watched Curtis's car roll off into the distance. He barked after it once and only once. "Aw, let him go!" he snarled, getting up unsteadily. "Jack, help me back up to the house." "Yea course. Dante must be a loyal pal to you there Don... I MEAN DAD!" Jack said. he didn't know what got him into saying that. (OOC-Bad? Yea I know. I needed some sort of thrill, so Don chased after a car... ... )

Over the loud rap music Curtis had blasting in the car, he not only heard Don's barks but also saw him running after the car in the rear view mirror. "What in the world?", Curtis mused, stopping the car. Dante, who was in the back had looked out the back window, and among seeing Don, started barking and whimpering like mad. Curtis tried to calm him down but it was no use. Dante punched at the back window with his paw, causing the whole car to shake. Curtis came to a stop and opened the front door to get out but was shoved aside by Dante, who ran back towards the house. "Dante", called Curtis, shutting the car off. "Come!" Dante ignored him and ran up to the front door, howling and barking, beating on the glass door with his massive paws. When Curtis caught up to him he pulled Dante away and held him back. "Dante!", Curtis scolded. "That's a bad boy! No!" Dante ignored him and tried to break out of Curtis' grasp by wiggling and shoving his head against the door. "You'll break the glass Dante, stop it!", Curtis yelled. Dante just whimpered and wiggled, hoping Don would come to the door soon to help him.
(OOC-Someone better do something before Dante breaks the glass door.)

"The cars stopped dad-" Jack said, looking back. "I mean whop is he to ditch me anyway!" Don drowled on. "Dad, the car has stopped." "I was supposed to be his best friend and-" "THE CAR HAS STOPPED!" "Sorry Jack, what was that?" Don asked. Jack took a deep breath. "Dad... the car has stopped..." "Oh! Well why didn't you SAY so!" "I DID!" "You did? Sorry..." Don said. He just sat down and watched the car. "Thats it?! I could've had a proper voice if it that was it, I mean listen to tis! My voice is THAT hoarse!" Jack growled. "Jack! Don't talk like that!" Christy yelled. "Hey hey... I'M the injured one! I could've DIED here! Have you all forgotten?!" Jack yelled. "Having dad lean on me, is not making it ANY better!" "Oh stop your drowling Jack, whats the matter?" Britany asked, walking downhill. "See Dante?! He's in that car-" Don wailed "Doghunter?!" "No, he's being tooken in by Curtis again-" "And?" "Don't you SEE it?! He's broken the promise or whatever! He said he didn't wanna be a house dog, and now he is!" "So dad? Whats the big whop? Anyone can change thier minds" Jack said. "Yea but... but... I know what happens when something like that turns the corner." "Whats that dear?" Christy asked. "They are never allowed out of thier territoyrs!" "Tony's always out of his territories" Britany said. Don growled so Britany immediantly shut up.

Dante continued to shove himself and Curtis along with him, into the door. "Donny!", Dante yelled. "Donny I came back! Donny I'm sorry! Help!" Curtis dragged Dante back and picked him up. "That's enough barking!", said Curtis. "You'll see Don tomorrow pal, relax." Dante couldn't relax. He was shaking all over. "I broke the code", Dante howled. "Dante", said Curtis. "Its time you settled down." Dante wiggled and leaped out of Curtis' arms and ran over to where Don and the others were, causing Curtis to fall back, right through the glass door. "I'm back", Dante yelled, running at Don like a bullet. He skidded a little on the ice and panted. "I got away from-", Dante started but was soon cut off by the glass breaking and a string of curses Curtis was yelling. "DANTE!", Curtis called. "Oh blast!", Dante moaned. "I think I'm in trouble. It's the pound for me!" Meanwhile, Curtis was laying on the floor of T.J.s house, gripping his head which had a big cut on it and held his nose as a nosebleed started.

"Ah shoot, DON!" T.J yelled. Don trotted over, and he knew he was in SOME sort of trouble and he put his ears back and was in a sorry sort of postition. "Do, did you do that?!" "NO!" I DIDN'T!" "Theres no use barking over it Don!" Don continued to bark, hoping that T.J would get the basic point. Unfourtunatly, T.J could not understand. "We're sorry, he just... um... is a bit dazed what with all thestuff happening now-a-days" T.J said, grabbing hold of Dons collar. Jack ran up and grabbed T.J's shirt in his jaws with a pleading look. "Please, it wasn't dads fault!" Jack barked. "What is it boy?" Jack growled. He just told him! He barked frantically. "C'mon... C'MON! You gotta understand!"

Dante cowered behind Jack when he saw T.J. coming. He knew he was in hot water. But to Dante's surprise T.J. reached for Don instead of him. "What?", said Dante. "Why does T.J. think your old man did it Jack? It was my fault Curtis fell through the door." Dante watched in shock as Don was pulled away by T.J., Jack carrying on. "Enough Jack", said Dante. "Save your strength. I have a plan". With that said Dante leaped in front of T.J. and knocked him over, letting go of Don in the process. "Donny run!", said Dante. "This is all my fault. I have to lead T.J. to Curtis so he can yell at me". Dante danced around T.J. and pulled on his sleeve, running towards the front door. When he reached it, he saw Curtis. Curtis picked himself off the floor and reached into his pocket, bringing out a tissue for his nose. "I do apologize for the door", said Curtis. "I'll fix it if you want, no charge." Dante leaped through the broken door and danced around Curtis, trying to get him to yell at him. Curtis looked down at Dante and glared. "Dante!", said Curtis. "You're a bad boy! Bad boy!" Tell T.J. I broke the door instead of Don, Dante thought. Please...it was me! "You're in big trouble when we get home Dante", said Curtis. "You know it was you who caused me to fall through the door and not Don. How dare you make him take the blame!" Dante barked and looked at T.J., praying he heard Curtis. "I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding T.J.", said Curtis. "But it was Dante who made me fall through the door". Dante jumped up and down and ran around T.J.'s feet as if to show him it was his fault. Meanwhile, Curtis gripped on to an end table by the shattered front door, putting the tissue from his nose to the very bloody cut on his forehead. "Can I get some help please?" said Curtis. "I feel very dizzy and my head is pounding." Dante started barking again, leaping all over like a wild animal. "Dante hush!", Curtis scolded. "Oh my head. I think I'm gonna faint. T.J. go into the kitchen and get your dad please. I think I need stitches. And please get me a rag of some sort to hold over my cut. I don't want to get blood all over your house." Curtis dropped the soaking wet tissue in a small garbage nearby and took off his glove, holding it to his nose. He bent over and gave a groan as the dizzy spell worsened and hung his head on the small desk nearby.
(OOC-Sorry it sucks! I woke up not to long ago and I'm still sort of sleepy. Bleh....)

T.J watched Jack and Dante look at him, and watched Dante make a charge for him. He let go of Don in the process. Instead of running, Don took a sharp hold of Dante's collar and hauled him back. Hey! Half of this was my own fault, I was the one that tripped! I was the one who ran after the car, lemme take SOME blame for it!, Don thought, looking at Curtis. "DON! Let go of Dante NOW!" T.J yelled. Don let go of Dante gently, and slowly made his way over. "Jack, c'mere boy!" Jack loyally made his way, his head held high like a good little puppy. That wasn't very Jack-like, so Britany scoffed silently to herself. Britany was only a tad bit older than Jack, but she liked to play the older and teaser big friend towards him. "Don't worry bout that door, we were gonna get rid of it anyway, cause we thought someday Jack might run through it" T.J said. Jack glared up at in owner in disbeilf and accussion. Britany started laughing after that. "And lets not be too hard on Dante" T.J added, ruffling Dante's ears. When Curtis mentioned getting T.J's dad, Don was already running towards the kitchen. T.J's dad was called Joe. "Whoa Donny, whats the matter?" Joe asked, ruffling the collies ears. T.J followed Don in. "The guy you work for fell through the glass door, dad. His dog pushed him through I think" T.J said. Joe nodded and got up off his seat. When he got it, he saw Christy trying to hold Curtis up as much as she could. Goodness, humans are heavy!, she thought. She saw the feild fox looking at her, with a wide smirk over his face. "What are you smirking at, Tails?!" Jack growled coming out. "That dude is hanging 'round my feeding place! Clear him off would'ja?!" Tails hissed. "We can't, he needs help!" Christy said. Don ran up to help Christy. "Oh goodie" Tails growled. "But if he doesn't clear off soon, I'll end up eating Jack's food!" "I'm eating inside today." Jack smirked proudly, only to be greeted by a nasty glower. "Get over here and help us Tails!" britany said, helping Christy and Don. "I would, but with dog and fox, that just don't mix! I would personally love to help-" "No you wouldn't, don't LIE, Tails!" Jack snarled. Tails laughed, and with a flick of a gingery orange tail, he took off across the feild. "Hey, not so fast!" Jack barked, taking after the fox. "Jack! get back here!" T.J yelled. "Stop chasing that fox! We're sorry for the inconvience sir..." "So sorry Curtis, we knew a glass door wasn't the best of ideas..." Joe said, helping Curtis away from the dogs. As soon as Curtis was away, Don took after the two, fox and dog, as fast as he could. Britany held Christy back. "What harm is it Christy, its just a fox!" Britany said. Christy nodded and sat back. (OOC-Yea, I did get the foxes name from Sonic X! Sorry bout that, but I think we'll see alot more of Tails from here )

Dante didn't notice Tails at first. He was too busy trying to hold up Curtis with Christy. "Joe", said Curtis. "If it's not a bother could you take me to the hospital? I swear there's a piece of glass in my head." Curtis tried to stand up and walk, letting go of the dogs, giving Christy a smile and Dante a scratch between his ears. It was then Dante turned around to see Don chasing after a fox. "I got him!", Dante yelled, taking off after Don. He rushed through the snow like crazy, his tongue lolling out. But something made him come to a complete stop. He looked ahead and saw Soapy in a harness connected to a sled with Toby and Maria on it. ".....Jingle all the way", Maria sang, then Toby pitched in. "Oh what fun it is to ride in a one dog open sleigh!" Dante snorted, not with anger but with laughter. He watched Soapy as she trotted and raced along the side of the road, a pair of fake antlers on top of her head. Dante stifled a giggle and ran after Don. "Don", Dante called. "Chase 'im later. You gotta see this!" Dante took off and ran onto Don's front yard, right where Soapy would be passing and ran over to Britany and told her the same. "Hurry up you'll miss her!", Dante called back to Britany. Dante sat eagerly by the curb of Don's house, looking like a parade was about to appear. He could just see Soapy come into view.
(OOC-Short and stupid. Yes, and rushed)

Don caught up and stepped hard on his sons tail. Jack yelped, lurched foward, and fell flat on his stomach. "Ow! What the-" Jack said. He watched the crafty fox run out of sight, and he struggled in his fathers grip. "Lemme go!" Don heard Dante yell for him, but before running to join him, he grabbed his sons collar. "That fox with threaten you and lead you somewhere were you'll never see light again, so don't DARE follow it!" Don said. Jack nodded and Don released him and ran over to join Dante. Britany caught up too, as did Jack. Don looked around. "What is-" he suddenly noticed Soapy and made a chocking sound with laughter. "What the heck?!" Don roared with laughter. Jack laughed, only silently to himself. Britany couldn't help a smile curl through her lips. "Hey Soaps! Wheres the other nine reindeer?!" Don called, through laughter.

Dante laughed at Don's comment and fell back in the snow. "Yea Soapy", Dante added. "Which reindeer are you? Rudolph? You look ridiculous!" He rolled in the snow and laughed harder as Soapy came into full view. "I'm just doing something nice for Toby and Maria", Soapy snapped. "Of course you guys wouldn't know. You don't do anything for humans." As she passed them she ran the sled into a snow drift, making a wave of snow hit the others and walked away until Toby told her to stop. She did so and looked at Toby. "See that house there girl?", asked Toby. Soapy looked towards the house which was right next to Don's. "That's where our friend lives", said Maria. "We're gonna visit him." They both jumped off the sled and Toby gave Soapy a pat. "We won't be too long", said Toby. "In the meantime, why don't you go play with your friends". Toby unclipped her from the sled, a small harness on her now. As Toby ran to the house with Maria Soapy trotted towards Don's house, antlers and all.

Don spat out the snow that had gotten in his mouth impatiently. "Stupid... BLAH... Soapy!" he said, Luckily, Britany had jumped out of the way. "Soapy, the quite odd reindeer!" he sang, seeing her come up his lane. "Had a very dog-like look! And if you ever saw her..." Don paused in the middle of his tune, trying to think of some words. Luckily, Britany shut him up, by knocking him over. "Shut up Don! She's only doing something nice!" Britany said. "Alright, alright, I suppose" Don said, getting up and shaking off the fur. "I could'nt think of any more words anyway." "Lucky, coz you can't pick up a tune!" Britany said. Jack tried his hardest not to laugh. Don shot his son a look. "I'm laughing, cause its so ridiculous!" Jack said, putting on a straight face. "Soapy, don't you feel a tad bit... whats the word..." "Used?" Don said, looking at her. "Thats not what-" "Its what I'm saying son!" "Ok then..." "Don! She doesn't feel USED! Toby treats her ri- like a house dog!" Britany said. "Yea, you wouldn't say 'right' cause he tied some sticks to your head and made you pull a sled down the street!" Jack pointed out. "No! Thats not what I was about to say!" Britany said.

Dante shook the snow off his fur, laughing at Don's song. "And if you ever saw her", sang Dante, picking up where Don left off. "You would even say 'what the fook?'" That caused Dante to go into hysterics. "Something nice with a price", said Dante, cracking up again. Soapy listened to her friends fight and talk about her like she was an alien. She stayed silent for a little while but couldn't for long. Anger burned inside her chest and a sob tightened up her throat. She swallowed the sob then spoke up. "All of you shut up!", Soapy snarled. "Right now! I don't care how I look ok? What matters is how I feel. And I don't feel used! I feel good! I mean look, I just helped out two humans get somewhere. And you four, who haven't done anything like that make fun of me for doing this?" "Did he have to put antlers on you though?", Dante asked, stifling a giggle. "You don't shut shut your mouth they're going in your face", Soapy snarled. Dante gave her a look of both surprise and anger. She had never said anything so cruel. Dante looked at Don then back at Soapy. "We're just worried that he's gonna take you in and we won't see you as much", said Dante. Soapy gave Dante a hard look. "Look Dante", said Soapy, advancing on him, causing Dante to scooch back. "Even if he does take me in it doesn't matter." Soapy looked at Don and Jack. "Don and Jack are house dogs", said Soapy, glaring at Dante. "As well as you! And we see Jack and Don all the time. Toby told me that I could leave whenever to see you guys. That is, if he were to take me in". "But the code!", said Dante. "Take the code and shove it up your nose", said Soapy. "It wont matter. Because I'll still get to see you guys." Dante looked at Don. "She does have a point", said Dante. "Your a house dog, yet you come and go as you please. As well as me". Soapy nodded. "And while we're on the subject of Toby," said Soapy. "He treats me like a friend. A human friend." Dante looked at Jack, Don and Britany, a little speechless at Soapy's choice of words. In his mind, Dante knew they would lose her, one way or another.
(OOC-Whew! Sorry for the long wait. I felt uninspired. But its all good. BTW, I talked to Nicky online last night and he says he's very very sorry for not posting as of late. Hes busy with school and stuff. I told him to post when he can and that we all miss him.)
