[ Act i]

Beth is your friend and Betty's her nickname, so they will be used interchangeably!!

' Names '

The two girls stared at each other in horror when a fight broke out. Getting over their initial shock of how the puppies looked, the girls decided to open the other box. Not surprisingly, there were also other puppies in there but something happened they didn't expect to. A black and blonde puppy along with a white one charged over to a small blonde one. It happened so fast the girls couldn't process it but that didn't mean the other puppies didn't process it. The puppies from each boxes broke into a fight, the ones that were from the originally opened box to the ones who just got out of the second box.

The fight between the two boxes weren't as bad as they thought. Judging by the age of the puppies, the nails weren't that sharp and their teeth wasn't that pointy fortunately so it was easy to separate them. Grabbing them apart, both girls put them in their respected boxes. " What do you think we should do with them?" Beth asked glancing at the girl beside her on the couch. It made her think, Beth couldn't take them in. It was fairly a lot of puppies and the apartment they lived in didn't allow animals. " Maybe take them to an animal shelter?" [ Name] suggested which caught a yip from the box from her side. She peeked in to see the small blonde puppy that was previously attack by the two others in the opposing box yipping at her. Lowering her hand in the box, she grabbed the small blonde before the larger blonde puppy could bite her. She heard growling from the other blonde in the box until the small puppy in her hand barked and it stopped.

The puppy in her hand was a breed she couldn't identify, which wasn't abnormal since she wasn't so interested in dogs to learn them but she knew a few breeds. The small blonde puppy jumped out of her hold into her lap, licking at her hands. " I don't think the puppies would let you." Beth said, snapping her attention away from the dog in her lap.

" Huh, what you mean?" The brunette pointed at the other box. It seems the mention of the animal shelter had most of the dogs glaring. At her. She couldn't help but sweat and chuckle, who knew dogs could be so intimidating. [ Name] let out a hum facing forward as her best friend turned the TV on. It was around 8 p.m and they both knew her friend, Beth, had to leave at ten. Flipping through the channels to find something interesting the girl with the puppy in her lap decided something.

" I guess I'll take care of them." The sudden declare made Beth turn her head at her friend. " Taking care of a pet when you can't even take care of yourself?" Beth wasn't wrong, her friend was all over the place. She had a fish not to long ago named "Nemo" and [ Name] lost him. It went over her head how someone could lose a fish but her friend sweared she didn't do anything and as true as the movie they found Nemo. Dead as hell. Poor Nemo was outside in the backyard. It made her worry about how [ Name] would fair with actual puppies and a bunch of them.

" They will be fine. They won't end up like Nemo." The sudden sentence caught all the dogs attention that were in both boxes. The piss colored one let out a bark and whimper until a black dog barked at him to shut him up. The blonde dog in her lap started jumping up and down trying to get the [ Hair colored] girl's attention making her look at him. "I guess we should name them." [ Name] giggled, running her hands through the small one's fur.

Setting the remote down in between them, the blonde dog leaped out off of [ Name]' s lap and onto the remote control changing the channel. The dog ran across the living rooming sniffing at the carpet there. She guessed the dog had a lot of energy and liked to explore so she let it be. Glancing up at the changed channel, she was about to change it until it caught her attention. " I guess you will be the first one to get a name, right Mickey?" The name caught Beth off guard. Was she gonna name a dog after a talking rodent? But seeing the blonde dog roll on his back made her hold her comment back.

[ Name] looked inside the box beside her. It seems she was gonna have to name all of them, a shot ton of dogs. She knew it was gonna be a long night but she didn't mind. Going through each dog inside the box, she got snapped at a few times by certain ones but she didn't let that demean her. Getting to the last one she notice it was the dog who was whining earlier. Trying to grab him, the dog kept running into the edge of the box making her groan and her friend laugh. The other dogs were already on the carpet of the living room and outside the box but this one was the last one in this box. " Why won't the piss one come here?" [ Name] asked to no one but being her best friend Beth couldn't help but add something.

" Maybe it knows about Nemo?" Beth laughed holding her gut, this just made the piss one whimper even more. Finally getting him in her grasp she looked at the dog and thought of a name. " Piss fur." The name broke her friend, " What the fuck? Piss fur?" The name was odd at most but it suited the yellow of his fur. It looked like piss. " If the names so bad what do you think we should name him?" [ Name] questioned looking at her friend. Beth was thinking hard before getting an idea.

" American Cheese." [ Name] couldn't help but have a disappointed look on her face. American cheese? That's even worst then my name I gave him. The face must have shown since Beth threw something at her face. " Ow, what the fuck was that for?" The groan caught the dogs attention, staring at the two amused. Her nose throbbing, she was sure to choke her until she looked at what was thrown at her. A bag of Sunflower seeds. There pillows on the couch but she threw a bag of seeds, she was about to say something about it but the name came to her mind.

" Sunflower. Your names gonna be Sunflower."
