Jenna repeated, "A dog?"

"She wants to get a pug and name it Benji," Jeremy said.

Jenna asked, "Like the movie or the guy from Good Charlotte?"

Jenna hesitated, "I don't know. A dog is a lot of responsibility..."

"Fine," Jenna said, "But you two are taking care of it."

"Fine by me," Juliana replied.

Elena looked over, "What do you got there?"

"A dog," Juliana said with glee.

"What breed?" Elena asked.
