A Lesson in Tolerence...

[SunFlash]

is currently being created. I'm nearly halfway through it right now. Sit tight, by next week, it should be finished ;D

~WARNING~
This would be my 1st FF, so don't expect Jack London abilities

[Killer]

Eh...Jack London's style of writing always confused me anyway.

[SunFlash]

Oh, then.....uhhhh....don't expect David Clement-Davies abilities

[Killer]

Never heard of him. LOL! Wait...did you say..."David"? Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! *goes stark-raving mad*

[SunFlash]

No, he's english. So far, he wrote 2 books THAT ARE AWSOME. Firebringer(Deer) and The Sight(Wolves)

[Sasha La Fleur]

I look foreward to your story. I don't read much, but have any of you ever read any Mary Higgins Clark books?

[SunFlash]

Nope, I highly doubt it

[Killer]

Nope. Saw a MHC novel-based film once though.

It was a sunny, quiet morning in the city of San Fransisco. A melody of chirping birds was broken when a cheerful bark rang. An adult Border collie known as SunFlash padded by the Flea Bite Café. Remembering that Sasha was on shift, she decided to pay a visit to the Irish setter.

SunFlash: Hey Sasha.
Sasha: Oh hi SunFlash. How’s it going with Jay?
SunFlash: Great. Tonight I have a date with him. We’re going to Central Park.
Sasha: I hope things run smoother.

SunFlash grinned

SunFlash:Ya.

[SunFlash]

{Singing}
Does he love me, I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so?

Sasha: Is it in his eyes?
SunFlash: Oh no, you'll be deceived
Sasha: Is it in his eyes?
SunFlash: Oh no, he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss

Sasha: Or is it in his face
SunFlash: Oh no, it's just his charm
Sasha: In his one embrace
SunFlash: Oh no, that's just his arm
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

Sasha: How 'bout the way he acts
SunFlash: Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
Sasha: That's where it is
SunFlash: Oh yeah, it's in his kiss
SunFlash and Sasha: That's where it is
{End Singing}

Sasha heard the cries of customers that wanted service, and turned her back to SunFlash.

Sasha: Hold on a sec…<br>
She made her way to the customers. When Sasha returned, she found the Border collie gone.

Sasha: What the…where did she go?

Sasha looked out the door, finding her staring at a hot dog vender, and steadily approaching.

On the other side of the street, Cresent Moon the Belgian Tervuren was sniffing his way to a better lunch. Trash was his former food, but that would soon to be change. He saw the same hot dog vender that SunFlash saw. With a lick of his lips, Cresent went on stalking.

The vender dropped a few coins that he got from the last customer, leaving the door on his cart open. The 2 dogs knew that it would be a perfect set up. When they stalked close enough, at the same time, they both sprung at the same time at the same time.

Cresent and SunFlash: You’re MINE!

They ended up bashing their heads together when their heads entered through the door. After, the door closed, pinning them to the cart. When the vender turned to see that 2 dogs tried to raid his hot dogs. Immediately, he phoned the dog pound to get rid of them.

Sasha took the event into more interest when a truck arrived at the scene. She dashed from the café to try to get her out of her mess.

2 men came from the truck, and opened the door, carrying the 2 dazed dogs into cages. Sasha skidded to a stop when the truck got going.

A Border collie called Jay made his way to the Flea Bite Café to get some breakfast. When he saw Sasha watching the truck leave, he knew that something must’ve been up. In a dash, Jay came up to her.

Jay: Sasha, what happened here? Who got hauled away?
Sasha: Oh, no one. It’s just your girlfriend and your girlfriend’s enemy.

Jay’s eyes widened as he watched the truck leave with SunFlash, not really caring about Cresent though.

Jay: Sasha, get help. I’ll follow the trail.
Sasha: I know who can handle something like this

Jay and Sasha ran their separate ways


At the dog pound, Cresent and SunFlash were getting hauled through the isles.

Pound Person #1: Any spare cells?
Pound Person #2: Just 1. You gotta stuff’em in there

The 2 people opened the crates, and chucked them into the cell.

The 2 dogs shook their heads, and looked at each other with fire in their eyes

SunFlash and Cresent: You again, what do you want!

As they growled, and yapped on, a Deerhound called Lexus, turned his attention to the 2 arguing dogs

Lexus: Excuse me, but-
SunFlash and Cresent: WOULD YOU JUST STAY OUT OF THIS!

Lexus brought an annoyed expression, but a Basenji put her paw across, and gave her sign language way of saying ‘Let me handle this’<br>
The little dog gave a yodeling kind of howl, interrupting their argument.

Lexus: Ok then, what’s happening here?

SunFlash pointed a claw at eachother, as if the other was the problem.

Lexus rolled his eyes

Lexus: Oh please, and that’s a reason for waking every single dog here?
Cresent: Look, I wouldn’t be here in the 1st place if ‘Lassie’ over here hadn’t come for MY breakfast.
SunFlash: Hey Moon, I don’t take up as much as a poofy wolfish dog!
Lexus: SILENCE, BOTH OF YOU!

The 2 dogs quieted down

Lexus: Look, we’ve been up all night. The office has been open for hours. One of us is next. If you don’t shut up then I will MAKE YOU!

They gave a hard stare at each other, and then lied down. But when SunFlash did, she nudged the Tervuren’s tail.

Cresent: Do you mind? I would like to be at least one inch from you!
SunFlash: Why may I ask?
Cresent: It WAS your fault in the 1st place.
SunFlash: Can you give it a rest Cresent. I’m trying to get some shut-eye

Cresent kicked her to the side, and drew a line with his claw

Cresent: Listen ‘princess’, see that line, stay on your side, and I’ll stay on mine. Fair?
SunFlash: Fine with me

Lexus glared at them both

With the little ‘encouragement’, they both went to sleep


At the front, Jay wandered side to side, looking through every window

Jay: I hope Sasha’s getting help. I can’t get in with humans on duty

He continued to sniff around for SunFlash’s window. He finds it on the end, a bit out of reach. Jay rolled his eyes

Jay: Why are there always obstacles in a life or death situation that are just out of my reach?

Jay rolled over a trashcan, and brought it to the window. He leaped on it, and peered in, seeing a Border collie and a Tervuren sleeping. He pawed on the window to get SunFlash’s attention.

Jay: SunFlash! You ok down there Flash?

SunFlash stirred, and looked up. She flipped over their water and food bowls in order to get up high enough

SunFlash: Jay! Am I glad to see you! Look, get me outta here. Cresent is REALLY getting on my nerves.
Jay: You mean him down there?

SunFlash nodded

SunFlash: If you were down here too, then you would understand aswell. Just make with the breaking in already!
Jay: The window is too hard to break. Sasha is getting help as we speak.

SunFlash’s ears lowered. She hoped that Jay would bring in some help now, and leave Cresent sleeping. But, she would have to wait.

Cresent started to stir, and watched as SunFlash looked out the window, speaking. He took out the bottom bowl, letting the tower fall underneath SunFlash.

Cresent: What are you doing, talking to your ‘imaginary friend’?

SunFlash landed on her hinds, and glared at Cresent.

SunFlash: Actually, that was going to be our way out. That’s Jay, he’s got Sasha looking for help.
Cresent: Look, we don’t need YOUR friends to get out.
SunFlash: Well genius, how do you think we can get out?
Cresent: Wait for someone to fetch us food, then, we break for it.

SunFlash’s eyebrows rose.

SunFlash: For you, that’s a good idea. How are you sure that they would open the door to give us supplies. Have you thought of that Rin Tin Tin?

Cresent stared, and sat, looking out the cage

[SunFlash]

Sasha: Jay!

Sasha ran up with a box in her mouth. Jay sighed with relief

Jay: Thank God. Things are getting tense in there.

Sasha nodded, and put down the box.

Sasha: It’s in the box…<br>
From the box, Itchy sprung out, gasping for air.

Itchy: What ever happened to leaving the top open a crack huh?

Jay looked inside the box
Jay: What’s that?

Itchy fully opened the box.

Itchy: Tools. If you want to break into a pound, you need some heavy-duty tools. Let me see. We need a chisel, hammer, and a drill.

He took out the needed tools.

Itchy: Now, most pounds have concrete. But, we can dig our way under until we hit a wall.
Sasha and Jay: Fair enough.
Jay: It’s over there.

Jay pointed to the place where he saw them. Itchy grabbed a headlamp, and started to dig. He looked back to Sasha and Jay frustrated.

Itchy: You know, I do need help here.

Seeing Itchy’s frustration, they started to dig as well.


SunFlash and Cresent waited for hours for the humans to give them food and water. A pound worker passed their kennel.

Pound Person #1: It’s your own fault mutts. You’re the ones that spilled it. You have to wait like the others.

SunFlash rolled her eyes.

SunFlash: Well, looks like your plan won’t work will it?
Cresent: Shut up.

The Deerhound looked at them again.

Lexus: Oh please you two. Maybe you should focus on escaping, not fighting.
Cresent and SunFlash: Me? Work with that mutt?

They pointed at each other when they spoke.
Lexus: Look guys, you might spend the last parts of your lives here. I can’t escape with Alex the Basenji since I’m too big to lift the latch, and Alex can’t reach. Are you gonna be stuck in here, or will you call a truce?

SunFlash and Cresent looked at each other, and shook paws

SunFlash: Truce?
Cresent: Truce.

They paced back and forth, thinking of what to do. They were both tall enough, but the mesh was a bit smaller then their paw width.

SunFlash: I got an idea. You have stronger jaws, so pull the mesh wide enough so I can put my paw up there to lift the latch.

Cresent nodded, and started to pull at the highest, closest mesh piece. SunFlash got her paw through, but was a centimeter too short. She lifted her claw, and managed to push it up. Cresent heard it’s click, and pushed hard, opening the door. When they got out onto the floor, it caved in, showing Itchy’s tunnel. SunFlash fell onto Jay, while Cresent fell onto Itchy.

Sasha: This might be controversial, but it’s nice to see you two drop in.
Itchy: Ain’t kiddin’ controversial, now GET HIM OFF.

Sasha pushed Cresent off Itchy, and dusted off his vest off.

SunFlash looked down at Jay, and instantly hugged him with thankfulness.

SunFlash: You came; I was almost going on the brink of insanity with him around.
Jay: Ya, well, Sasha brought Itchy, who made this tunnel.

Feeling a bit left out, Cresent spoke up.

Cresent: You know, before the humans find us, we should get out. Like NOW!

SunFlash got off of Jay, and they all walked through the tunnel, and back out.

SunFlash: Cresent, I am a genious.
Cresent: Well princess, you might not have noticed, but I was the one that made the mesh big enough for your chubby paws.
SunFlash: Ya, but it was MY idea. Wait a minute, CHUBBY!

The two started to argue over the credit, until Itchy stood between them both.

Itchy: Oh would you both just say you both did it?
SunFlash and Cresent: Why should we?

Jay and Sasha sighed.

Sasha: Looks like the chances of those two agreeing is 1 to 100.
Jay: Maybe it’s for the best.

While SunFlash and Cresent argued, the 3 had to shove them all out of the Pound’s property. It shows that although someone might work together, they still wouldn’t have learned a thing about co-operation.

[Cresent Moon]
