"I didn't have much of a choice... it was either that or I starve to death!" Britany said. They knew everything about training... I didn't." She looked down at her paws, ashamed of herself. "Scott said he'd help me on the condition I work for him..." Britany said.
Even though BlachDeath treat everyone like thier followers, they were her family. Scott, ginger and the rest. They didn't single her out just because she was nicer than everyone else. They didn't treat her like they treated other, infact, they treated her quite well! But BlackDeath played a rough game...
No... I don't want you to get hurt, Shadow! Don't face off Scott!" Britany pleaded. When he changed the subject Britany lightened up. "Sure... I'll spend the night with you" she said.

(Note: I tried to keep the 'other charecter use' to a minum so please, have mercy xP I couldn't really continue without doing so, but I hope you enjoy this post)
Shadow smiled upon her reply, he bekoned her over to his bed, when she got in, he pulled down the sheets then pulled them over her, sliding down into the covers himself. When they lay down together, heads on pillows, Shadow nuzzled her neck with his nose, and rested it there - gently. Silently Shadow closed his eyes, but opening them every so often to check on Britany, finally he fell into a gradual, snoreless, and dreamless sleep. It was the most magical night of his life. The stars were twinkling above, through the window on the ceiling, the house was lovely and warm, and there he lay with the girl of his dreams... nothing else mattered, he was so happy and content. He felt safe with Britany... and hoped she felt the same if not, he hoped he could change that. He wanted her to feel safe in his arms. The night passed swiftly, but all Shadow wanted was to be safe asleep with Britany by his side. He felt, for the first time in his life, loved, cared for, appreciated, content, and fearless.

Britany also fell asleep soon after she lay down. She had a different dream... something soooo different...
"Briiiiitany!" someone called. Britany raised her head abruptly. She had a fancy collar around her neck... and the weather was beautiful! Unlike San Fracsisco and stuff like that... "Where am I?" she muttered. She regonized the voice that called her, but couldn't figure out exactly who it was! It called her again, and then someone leaned down to pet her. "Hiya girl!" said a sweet voice. Britany was shocked, delighted, surprised and dumbstrucken all at the same time to see Miley Cyrus petting her. So she merely panted. This was a good dream....
Britany then woke up in the middle of the night, after a few more sleeping hours with her dream owner in her sleep. She yawned. "What time is it?" she whispered, in mid-yawn. She looked around, but couldn't see a clock. "Just great..." she muttered, trying to get back to sleep.

When Britany struggled to go back to sleep, Shadow whispered in her ear and nuzzled her lovingly, "Are you alright, can't you sleep?" He paused, "It's six o'clock in the morning if you want to know... when I can't sleep around this time, I take a walk along the peer, its so lovely at sunrise." He paused again, nuzzling her closely, trying to comfort her.
"If you would like to go, I'll cook us breakfast when we get back, what'd ya think?" he smiled warmly, every second he fell deeper in love with her.
after her reply he added, "I wish you could stay here longer.... would you, I enjoy spending time with you." He said, softly.

Britany smiled up at him. "Its hard to face reality when you wake up from a great dream!" Britany said, remembering Miley's laughing when she was taking Britany out for a walk. She yawned and pushed her front legs outwards. "Ah well Shadow... no night is perfect" Britany added. She thought a walk in the peer could do her good right now... "Yea... a walk could be good for a lazy setter like me!" Britany giggled, yawning again, and jumping out of the bed. She looked out the window. The sun was just creeping up from the end of the sea.

Shadow escorted Britany to the peer, slowly and taking every second in, the golden-red sun was sparkling off of the sea like a diamonds of crimson. The waves softly lapped and breezed over the rocks and sand below. The seagulls weren't even awake yet. A few lonely sparrows and crickets were providing nature with thier songs.
"It's so beautiful..." shadow sighed, "A beauty like that makes you feel so alive, so fresh, so special."
He paused for a moments reflection, and oppurtunity for Britany to reply and said, "The same effect you have on me. A special someone that makes me feel so alive and special. That air is so pure and fresh at this time of the morning."
He lay down on the edge of the peer, urging Britany to lay beside him,. His head between his paws, but not rested on them. His head was errect and upright, but calm and peaceful. "It makes me want to be at one with that magic - be one with all of nature all at once...It must sound silly, but... it's something I feel and find hard to explain and describe. My friend and I used to come down here all the time... before the accident... She was the best friend in the world to me... my ownly friend in all honesty... It wouldn't matter what I did, she was always supportive of me.... Like the mother I never knew...." Shadow paused, "I'm sorry, Britany..." He whispered, "I didn't mean to ramble on there. He blushed, looking up at the sky, a forced smile on his face, but a sharp pain in his eyes that told of great sorrow...
"The sea calms my anxious heart, the crickets and sparrows soothe my soul...your presence does the same. Ever since I met you, I knew that you were different from all the other girls, I knew when I first looked in your eyes, that I wanted to spend the rest of my days with you." He smiled.
He reached for her paw, and gently touched it. "A dream I hope we can fufil." He said softly, at this he stopped conversation, and waited on a response.

Britany lay beside him and listened to his story about his friend. Its kinda what happened with her and John... even the mention of his name makes her heart sink at times. Sometimes, he could hear his voice... "Yea... I get how you feel..." Britany said, in almost a whisper. "The same thing happened to me... his name was John... boy, was he something! He'd sing, dance and try to woo any girl off thier feet..." Britany looked up at the clouds, her eyes starting to sting with a few tears. "And he'd sing to me when I'm alone or sad... no matter what I did, John would stick along and help me along the way... then... then... Don showed up..." Britany lay her head in her paws, and her eyes were a picture of pure sorrow and pain. "Sometimes I can hear him..." She sighed, putting John out of her mind, but it was difficult... always, in her mind, she'd hear him say "Don't give up on me! Don't forget about me!". And that was the words that were choursing in her head exactly then... "The sea... it makes me think yenno... when it roars and spits, it makes me think where did he really go, and is he still alive? When it's calm I... I go through the memories of him. Right now... its doing something else... its relaxing me... making me feel happier" Britany replied to Shadow. "It making me think about you..." She nuzzled him. She suddenly looked up when he touched her paw, jolting the soft singing out of her head. She looked at his paw, and then up at him. "Please Britany,,, do it, go on!" That was different! She had never heard John say THAT to her in her head before! But, she took is advice and smiled at Shadow. (Wow, that was some deep message you have there, Shadow! I hope mine is just as deep... or maybe thats too much to ask for

(ty actually im impressed very deep work - well written: sorry this one's so short.)
"Lets go home, and gets some breakfast."
Shadow walked right beside her, there bodies unsepartated as they walked towards shadows house. The sun was almost risen, and the birds were singing more loudly.
The smell of cooking, baking, food drifted down the street, making Shadow's stomach rumble loudly, he blushed and smiled sheepishly at Britany.
Shadow then lead her back to his house for a rather large breakfast. and not a moment too soon, they were very hungry after all.

(just thought I should tell you... but your Shadow reminds me of Shadow from Sonic X for some crazy mixed up reason Britany's thoughts jumped out of her head as Shadow's voice choursed into her head. She looked up at him and smiled. "Yea, lets. I'm ravished!" Britany said, getting up and walking along side Shadow. Although she did look back once, feelinglike she had left something behind... even though she clearly didn't, because she was a dog. Although the thoughts of John always made her feel like that... She giggled as Shadow's stomach growled. "Hungry, are we?" she said."I don't blame you, I'm starving too..." She followed him all the way to his house, feeling happier than she did back at the pier as she watched the cars speed by.

[ apoligies for the late reply, probs with my internet ]
Shadow was cooking hurridly in the kitchen, not because he was being clumsy but because when he started doing something he wanted it to be 'on time' as he called it. However 'on time' to other people was 'on early' ^^
Shadow brought through a large breakfast fit for a King and Queen ! Eggs. Bacon, Sausauge, French Toast, Baked Beans.
"I know we're in America, but I thought i'd make you a Brittish Breakfast, make you feel more at home." He smiled, "I hope this is okay for you, I'm not sure about you food tastes just yet..." He paused with a nervous smile hoping that britany didn't have a dislike for this kind of food. He originally came from Scotland, but being transported when only born, he didn't remember anything of it.
The mother and father shadow thought where his flesh and blood, were not. They were two nice people who took him in for a short time before tradically losing there lives when Shadow was still a pup, but old enough to eat for himself.
Oblivious to this fact, Shadow had no idea, his real parents were alive at this very moment. Gorge and Thistle, his parents, didn't know what happened to Shadow, there humans dumped him somewhere foriegn, he was washed away by the river and sea, and ocean to San Fransisco, It was a miracle he was still alive!

"Ah yes, the British!" Britany giggled, putting on a posh English voice. "Yes, I know. The British food is for me! Well... even though I'm an Irish blood." Britany licked her chops when the food was planed in front of her. She loved every bit of food in front of her, as she had got it all before, being Northern Irish. "Looks heavenly!" Britany said, enjoying the wafting smell of it all. She looked at the large amount of food... and the more she looked, the more hungery she got.
Britany was transported to San Fracsisco ages ago by accident, when she stumbled onto a crate which was to be flown across seas. Being stuffed in a box with wild racoons wasn't exactly Britany's perfect travel. Although, the racoons were quite pleasant, and showed sympathy for the poor setter puppy.
Britany didn't know her dad... infact, she doubted she even had one. When she was born all that she saw around was her dear mother, Terri, the setter and retriver mix. Terri was murdered by a mysterious dog that Britany found out, but failed to defeat. It was Don, the rich dog of the streets over there. No one knew why.
Britany shuddered when she thought of when she heard her mothers screams, as she had been hiding behind a dustbin the whole time. Her screams sometimes haunt her sleep, but it was always the mysterious singing in her mind which sent her into nicer dreams.
"So... did you know much about your family?" Britany asked, feeling cold at the memory of her mothers tragic death.

[ Quick reply Britany lol - i only posted 10 minutes ago, good timing us lol ]
"Ireland huh," Replied Shadow, "One day me and you shall go there - just the two of us!"
"I remember my parents... but somethings odd, They never felt like...." Shadow felt stupid, but looked at Britany's now curious eyes, "It didn't feel like they were my real parents, I remember them bringing me home for some kind of ship-yard, I dont remember much else, I dont remember feeding from my mom, or having brothers and sisters, and its extremly odd for a mother and father to have just one pup. I only knew them a short time, they got old, and sick, and I was left behind. The house was emptied, and I was taken to the pound. I was a lucky dog... A Policeman bought me, taught me the ways of the bloodhounds and sniffer-dogs. I was eventually promoted to FBI Dog. It's so cool being a Police Dog and so exciting - when your called out to a dangerous case your so terrified but excited at the same time, but I guess I'm just an adrenline junkie!" he chuckled
He paused for response and added, "What's Ireland like, do you remember it at all?" Asked shadow, taking another bite from his toast. "Do they really have leprocorns there? I've always wanted to meet one!!" Shadow said honestly and excitidly, not knowing that leprocorns didn't exsist.

Britany looked at Shadow with interest. He really had such a story behind him. Britany had a veeeeeery long story behind her!
"Wow... ever considered you might have been adopted, Shadow?" Britany asked, softly. She brightened up when he asked her about Ireland. She loved her homelands and could go on for hours about it....
"Oh the views there are WONDERFUL! you could sit upon mountain tops for ages and gaze on the horizon there... you could run for ages on the beaches, and as for the Giants Causway... well, I've been there once or twice with friends. Everytime we got to the top, we used to sing a song" Britany chuckled at the memories. then there was the sad memories... "John died in Ireland..." Britany added, sadly. She hide her sadness behind a flat, meaningless smile. "But he died happily... we were all around him when he died..." "Anyway... theres also alot of countrysides in Ireland! The stretch out for miles, and I used to run across the feilds all the time! It just made me feel so free!" Britany sighed, starting to start in her eggs.

"I-- All I know, is a feeling of -- that is what i mean to say, theres a huge gap in my past, and I cannot figure it out, just an empty, hollow space. It torments me so..." He replied, with a puzzled look on his face.
He shook it off, "I wonder..." started shadow, "Could you and I go to ireland....maybe today?"
He paused, "I think it will be a good break for both of us. And.... " Rolling his eyes, he went over to a side drawer, and pulled out two plane tickets carefuly with his teeth. He walked over to the table and sat them beside her plate. "And... I'd be very sad if I had to go alone." He winked, eegerly waiting her response.

Britany stared at the tickets, and visions of her friends came into her head... now is her chance to find out if her good friend was really killed... she can actually talk to her old friends. Espically Taylor.
"I.... I... I really... I'd love to go!" Britany said, happiness swelling up in her heart and body. Then, the panic kicked in. Theres always the bad stuff that could happen if you go back...
What if her friends didn't remember her? What if Don got invovled? What would happen then? That would spoil the whole holiday... what if all her friends were dead? What if all the hills were replaced with large cities? All the "what ifs..." were flooding her head. No... she was going to enjoy herself. And if her friends were dead, she'd like to find out if they were...
She took the ticket eagerly and smiled anyway. But then a question came into her head. "Hey Shadow, how do you expect to get into the plane exactly?" Britany asked, thinking what the security would do if they saw two dogs walk right into the plane.
