Brotherly Love

Chapter 4: Bonding

Dawkins' POV:

I can't believe that Dimitri Trio actually beat DJ up. I was sitting outside of the nurses' office waiting for my adopted brother. Dimitri Trio went to the principal's office, probably getting chewed out as I speak. Suddenly DJ walked out the door, with a tissue up his nose. "You Okay?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah. Broke nose and bruised eye. One question. Why did you help me?" I frowned that he even asked that. I might not like him, but I hate watching people get beat up by the Dimitri Trio. "I helped you because someone told me to protect you. Now, are you ready to go? It's past three." He nodded as we walked to the principal's office. Dimitri 1, 2 and 3 were sitting on blue chairs. They looked at us and got up. 

"Finally," Dimitri 1 spat.

"Took you forever," Dimitri 2 complained.

"What took you so long?" Dimitri 3 growled.

"I took my time making sure that our brother is fine and healthy. If he wasn't, it would be your guys' fault!" I yelled the last part. Dimitri 2 mumbled something. "What was that?" I asked him. He stuttered. "Sorry." I was surprised. Neither one of them has ever apologized before. And now the second oldest of the trio actually did. "Thank you. You guys ain't so bad, other than the fact you don't like me," DJ commented. Dimitri 2 let a little smile across his face. Dimitri 1 and 3 scoffed. "C'mon, Dimitri. Let's go." Dimitri 1 said to D3 as they headed inside. D2 gave an awkward smile and headed inside with his brothers. DJ and I sat on the stairs that led to the front door. Without warning, DJ wrapped me in a hug. "Thanks for earlier." He whispered in my ear. I forcefully made him let go of me. "Your welcome. Now just leave me alone, okay?" I told him. He whimpered. "Okay," he said and walked inside. Or at least tried to. I never put in his paw prints on the scanner. I walked up the stairs and put my paw on it. The door opened. DJ went to our room, while I stayed downstairs. About and hour later, Mum and Dad arrive. Dad announced his presence and a wave of pups covered him in hugs. I walked over to Mum. "Hey Mum, Dimitri Trio beat DJ to a pulp earlier. He had to go to the nurse's office and Dimitri Trio got suspended for the week." I told her, watching the 3 Dimitris playfully wrestle each other. Mum gasped. "Is he alright? I'm going to talk to him, but not before I talk to them." She walked over to the Dimitri Trio who looked down at the floor in shame. While she was scolding them, I walked upstairs and bumped into Deepak. "Oh, sorry. I should watch wear I'm going." I said to my Guru Meow brother. His face pattern was the yin and yang symbol. "Don't be sorry. Your just in a rush to talk to DJ. Sad past he has." Deepak said and walked away. Wait, sad past? I opened the door to my room and found DJ sound asleep, listening to sad music. I frowned and covered him up. I sat beside him, rubbing his back. "Goodnight, DJ."

The next afternoon

We walked into the store, looking for some gifts for Dizzy and Dee Dee. DJ had no idea what to get them except probably a pair of headphones for each. We arrived in the sports section and something caught my eye. A blue skateboard and a red skateboard. DJ and I exchanged glances and grabbed them off the shelf. Dizzy and Dee Dee always wanted to be like Dolly, so why not get them a skateboard. DJ chuckled. "So our little sisters wanna be the next Tony Hawk?" I laughed at his comment. We were close to the checkout when DJ suddenly stopped. He walked over to a silver stick looking thing, filled with holes. A flute. "Whoa, that's lit. I'm getting that too." He looked at the price tag and his ears went down. "Man, it's fifty bucks? Looks like it'll be a while before I get that." He continued to walk sadly. I looked at him and then the flute. I grabbed it and walked with him to the checkout. After purchasing the skateboards, I asked him to wait outside real quick. I then purchased the flute and walked out to join my brother. We walked through Regent's Park, trying to kill time. We sat under a tree. I looked at him, and pulled out the flute. DJ gasped. "Is that for me?" He asked happily. I nodded and handed it to him. He gladly accepted and started playing it. He was actually really good. He stopped and looked at a nearby frisbee lying on the ground. "Wanna play with me?" He asked as he put the flute away. I never played frisbee, so I declined. He frowned and picked up the frisbee. Then a memory came to my mind. Spend time with him. I sighed and got up. I put my hands out. "Alright, how do I throw it?" DJ chuckled and we spent the rest of the day playing frisbee.

The next chapter will be Dizzy and Dee Dee's party. Explode that star and I'll see ya in the next Chapta!
