It was a Saturday morning. The day was fresh with the song of birds. SunFlash was on her daily run through the streets of San Francisco. She was just going to pass the Flea Bite Cafe, when a blast of flames streaked through the open door. The fur around her face was singed black. She looked inside

SunFlash~*cough* Whoever did that, I swear I would tear limb *cough* by limb!

Charlie’s shout was easily heard in the cafe

Charlie~Don’t practice here you moron! I think you got someone out there!

Charlie threw a towel to SunFlash. SunFlash caught it, and engulfed her face in it

SunFlash~Thanks Charlie. Is the furnace busted? Or are you keeping some dragon in the closet?
Charlie~*sigh* Ninetales is practicing his magic acts for tonight. He was suppose to hit some flying discs blindfolded using his fire. He missed, and...ended up hitting you.

SunFlash finished cleaning her face. She spoke sarcastically

SunFlash~Terrific...

She walked in, and put the towel on the counter. She looked on the stage, and tilted her head to the side, seeing Ninetales and Bess.

Bess~I’m telling you Ninetales, this isn’t going to work. It has never worked.
Ninetales~Just work with me. All I need is the right situation, I swear.

She sighed, and Ninetales stared at her, trying to concentrate on getting her hypnotized.

Gerta~He just doesn’t give up. He’s been at this since six in the morning, and still he hasn’t given up on this stupid hypnosis thing.

The small mutt padded up to SunFlash.

Gerta~Can I get ya a drink.
SunFlash~Huh? Oh ya, sure. Just a water please.

Gerta nodded, and walked off. SunFlash approached the stage

SunFlash~Ninetales, I don’t mind that you practice your little ‘Mind-Game’ thing, but honestly. Tell someone when you’re going to chuck flames into the outside.

Ninetales was keen on getting this right

Ninetales~Shut Up, I think I might hit a break-through
SunFlash~The only thing you will ‘break through’ is the floor if you stay on it long enough.
Ninetales~I’ll worry about that later. Just go off for a few hours. You’re distracting me.

SunFlash sighed, and walked out. She was oblivious to the fact that Gerta got her drink on the counter.

Gerta~*sigh* Border Collies. Do they sit for one second?

[SunFlash]

It was 6 PM. SunFlash returned to the Flea Bite to see Ninetales’ show. She sat up at the front row with Charlie, Sasha, and Bess

Sasha~This should be an...enlightening show

The group laughed until Ninetales stepped upon the stage with a magician’s cape

Ninetales~Ladies and Gentlemen, and pups of nearly all ages. Tonight, you are going to be mystified by the works of psychic abilities, practiced in a mere 24 hours.

Charlie whispered in Sasha’s ears

Charlie~That tells alot
Ninetales~Silence. I need silence for my first act. Sight Hypnosis.

He looked at the audience

Ninetales~I want I disagreeistant Bess to come up from the audience

The spaniel sighed, and stepped up, sitting erectly

Ninetales closed his eyes, focusing his thoughts. He then stared directly at Bess’ eyes

Ninetales~You are in my power. Don’t look away from my eyes, or else...

A small stream of smoke came from Ninetales’ nostrils. SunFlash looked at the others.

SunFlash~She won’t have a choice sooner or later

The group laughed quietly. Ninetales adverted his eyes from a blankly expression Bess, and looked at the group. His eyes were glowing

Ninetales~Could you guys be supportive at least ONCE in your lives?

They started to be the same as Bess, and spoke in unison

SunFlash, Charlie, Sasha~Yes
Ninetales~Thank you
SunFlash, Charlie, Sasha~You’re Welcome

Ninetales looked back at Bess

Ninetales~Now. I command you. Chase your tail three times

Bess did as she was told, and chased her tail three times.

When Ninetales’ eyes stopped glowing, he stood with pride when applause was heard. The only ones that didn’t applaud were Sasha, Charlie, and SunFlash. Gerta sat at the counter, cleaning a glass

Gerta~Something doesn’t seem too right about this. He actually did it. Why didn’t his friends clap?

The tan mutt walked behind the stage, and pulled in the bowing Ninetales

Gerta~Ok hot-shot. How was it that you weren’t even able to hypnotize Bess this morning, and now you did it
Ninetales~Can’t you admit that I can cram?
Gerta~Oh yes, and how about your friends. They spoke in unison, they didn’t really seem happy, and they seemed so polite. Fess up. You hypnotized them.
Ninetales~I did not. Anyways, Bess was only pretending. Before the show, I told her to pretend she was hypnotized.
Gerta~Oh really. Call her then.
Ninetales~*sigh* Ok, if only I can go back on stage. Bess, come here for a sec.
Bess~Yes master...

Bess obediently came to Ninetales, and sat beside him.

Gerta~Normal huh? Honestly Ninetales, admit it?
Ninetales~Can’t I just do the show

Gerta poked Ninetales’ chest

Gerta~I can’t trust you. I’m betting 10 bones that you hypnotized the others aswell. Would your audience appreciate a mistake like that.

She grinned. Ninetales sighed

Gerta~Besides, I want you to prove that you are a real magician. I’ll let you go back on if you put them out of these trances. Got it?

Ninetales nodded, and pushed Bess on stage. Gerta then pushed Ninetales back on, and went back to the counters.

Ninetales~Before I get on with my next act, I want Sasha LaFleur, Charlie Barkin, and SunFlash Comet to come on stage.
SunFlash, Charlie, Sasha~Yes master...

They came on obediently, and sat beside Bess

Ninetales~While I was behind the curtains, I was uhhh, psychically sending messages to these three dogs, and got them under my power.
Gerta~Oh give me a break
Ninetales~From the snap of my fingers, they will go back to their normal selves.

He gave a snap, nothing happened. He thought for a moment, and stared at them

Ninetales~I command you, go back to your normal selves!

Nothing happened. Stressing out from the situation, he slapped Charlie on the muzzle.

Ninetales~WAKE UP!

Nothing happened. Gerta was getting restless from his ‘performance’. She went back-stage, and pulled Ninetales in

Gerta~Well...
Ninetales~I can’t get them awake again. Everything I do, I can’t get them awake. We could always...
Gerta~No, you aren’t going to set their tails on fire.
Ninetales~What makes you think that they aren’t going to-
Gerta~No fire!
Ninetales~Then what do you think I’m suppose to do before they turn this cafe into a scrap yard?

Gerta thought for a moment.

Gerta~Ok, I’m relying on you to find a book, magician, anyone to get them out of this trance. Don’t screw up.

Ninetales nodded, and stepped back on stage

Ninetales~Ok, it seems that there is some plumbing problems in the building next to us. We will be gone for a bit, so...bye

He started to push the four off the stage. He turned back to the audience

Ninetales~And starting now, there will be no refunds for all admissions.

Quickly, he slunk out, away from the booing crowd

[SunFlash]

Ninetales was walking through the streets, pushing the dogs. Panting, he looked at them

Ninetales~Ok, this isn’t going to work. Can I trust you guys to keep together?
SunFlash, Sasha, Charlie, Bess~Yes...
Ninetales~Good. Keep with me.

Ninetales brought them to a busy street

Ninetales~Where do people keep their phone books?

When he looked back, he saw that Sasha was gone

Ninetales~What the... Aw great...

He saw Sasha going into a store in hopes of getting a phone book. Ninetales ran from the group, and into the store. He was too late. Sasha already took a phone book from someone’s shopping cart. The setter dropped it by him.

Sasha~Here you go, Master

He saw the owner of the book coming at him

Person~That Giant Fox took my book.

She took out her cell phone, and called the pound

Ninetales~No...YOU keep it. AND I’M NO FOX!

Ninetales pulled Sasha away from the store, and back to the others. He panted heavily.

Ninetales~I’m never going to take magic ever ag- Where’s SunFlash?

Ninetales saw SunFlash chasing a car with a kid’s Ninetails sticker on a window. He slapped his forehead, and chased after her

Ninetales~STAY, HEEL, HALT!

The noise from the cars was too loud for SunFlash to hear.

Ninetales~STOP!

The car was about to turn to a different road. SunFlash heard this, but stopped in the middle of the road. With an approaching truck approaching straight for her. Ninetales quickly ran through the traffic, dodging cars. He then took a leap and grabbed SunFlash by her bandanna. He then took her on his back, and slowly got to the sidewalk. Wearily, he put her out of danger’s way. When he did, a car ran over one of his tails. Ninetales yelped in pain, and went fully on the sidewalk

Ninetales~It’s official. I HATE THIS. SunFlash. When I meant that you have to follow me, I meant follow the REAL ME. Not some sticky paper on a window.

He pulled a hair from his head.

Ninetales~DNA, follow the Ninetales with hair this DNA. Not any wannabe sticker. Understand?
SunFlash~Yes, Master
Ninetales~Good. Keep with me

SunFlash followed Ninetales back to the others.

[SunFlash]

Ninetales and the group walked down further into the city. He was the only one seeming to be tired.

Ninetales~We’ve been wandering around for hours. I give up

He flopped down on the sidewalk. His head was on a newspaper. He turned his attention to it.

Magic Lessons
Larry Roudini
Golden Gate Apartments
Floor 3
Apt # 708

His face lit up. A magician! He can help

Ninetales~Golden Gate? YES, That’s only a few blocks away. Come on guys

Ninetales and the others ran as fast as they could to the apartment where the magician was suppose to live. Ninetales pushed open the doors, and looked around. Seeing a clerk in the lobby, he pushed them all behind some large curtains.

Ninetales~Ok guys, here’s the plan. Stay close. We can’t afford ANY mistakes. Got it?

They nodded, and huddled close together.

Ninetales~That wasn’t what I...oh nevermind

Ninetales saw an elevator. He quickly went inside. He saw an approaching Bellhop

Ninetales~Come on. RUN!
SunFlash, Charlie, Sasha, Bess~How fast?
Ninetales~REALLY FAST. JUST GET IN!

In a hurry, he pushed a button that made the door close, and another to get to the 3rd floor. Panting, he looked around, and did a head count.

Ninetales~Ok, SunFlash, Charlie, Sasha. DANG IT, WHERE’S BESS?

Bess was left at the lobby. Since she was shorter in leg, she couldn’t get on in time. When they got to the 3rd floor, he quickly pressed the ground floor button. In a few seconds, he came back down, seeing Bess put on the desk.

Bellhop~Sir, I found this spaniel by the elevator
Clerk~Keep her in the basement for now

Ninetales heard those words. He turned to the group

Ninetales~Ok, stay. Don’t move, don’t go anywhere

After the pep-talk, he rushed to the Bellhop and the clerk

Ninetales~Take this

In an instant, he made a flamethrower to the Bellhop. With the boy rolling around on the floor to get rid of the flames, Ninetales grabbed Bess, and carried her to the elevator.

When they arrived at the floor, He shoved them out. He remembered from the newspaper, it was #708

Ninetales~Ok...700...702...704...706...Ah ha, #708

On the door, it had a sign that said

Out on Vacation. Will return in 4 weeks

Motionless, he stared at that sign. His eyes twitched every 10 seconds

Ninetales~No...no...NOOOOOOOOO!

He started slamming his head on the door. The hypnotized dogs just stared at him.

[SunFlash]

Ninetales returned to the cafe with the group. His tails were down as low as his head. He sat up in a stool, and laid his head on the counter.

Gerta~You fixed things?
Ninetales~I’m worse off than before. Not only are they the same as before, I’ve been running around town for something to help. I almost got in the pound, run over by a car, collapsed from exhaustion, and some magician was out on vacation. All that for nothing. Anyways, how did you get the audience from not destroying the place?
Gerta~I gave them a refund on their admission

Ninetales widened his eyes

Ninetales~You...did...WHAT! That was the only thing I was looking forward to when I returned
Gerta~Yes, but you would have to pay for damages if a riot broke out

In frustration, Ninetales sent an ember to Charlie’s direction. In a wailing bark, he seemed to snap out of it. He put out the fire in his tail, and glared at Ninetales

Charlie~What did I tell you before! Watch your flames, idiot!

He kicked a hind leg at Ninetales’ muzzle, and walked off. Although it hurt, Ninetales’ eyes lit up

Ninetales~I’m a genius! And you said I shouldn’t put their tails on fire

Amazed, Gerta looked at Ninetales

Gerta~I admit it, I was wrong. But, I wouldn’t recommend doing it for the others. I mean, Charlie was just one dog, Imagine 3 more
Ninetales~Your other ideas are...
Gerta~*sigh* Go ahead. They aren’t the only ones that will feel pain. I can just see it

Ninetales looked at Gerta, and the rest of them. He took a breath, and shot an ember at each of the dog’s tails. They all snapped out of it. SunFlash was the first to find out that her tail was on fire. She yelped. After she put it out, SunFlash glared at Ninetales

SunFlash~What the...Ninetales...I swear, you’re a flea’s length away. A FLEA’S LENGTH I TELL YOU...

Ninetales slowly inched away from SunFlash’s gaze. Bess and Sasha looked at Gerta

Sasha~Gerta, what happened around here
Bess~I felt like I had some sort of nightmare
Gerta~Don’t worry about it girls.

Gerta spoke when she was helping put out the small fire and burns on their tails.

Gerta~It was only Ninetales that had the nightmare. He still owes me 10 bones for our little bet

She chortled at the thought of the epidemic

[Ninetalesuk]

Heheheheh.... that was GOOD!

Although, one small flaw... Ninetales IS a fox!
