(3.5 months after)
(Narrator)
With Holidays closing out, it's time for our favorite anthropomorphic dogs to go back to school! Let's see what shenanigans they get up to before and after school...
One of the first dogs to get up in the morning in the entirety of Australia was the Heeler family. Bandit's alarm went off, waking both parents up. They dug out the first Chattermax they could find and chucked it into the girls' bedroom, waking them up. They decided to look for brekkie. Bluey and Bingo got to the Pop-Tarts before their parents, leaving them to find an alternative food source. Chilli found some granola bars and called it a day. Then they had to get ready. Bluey and Bingo went upstairs and brushed their teeth, brushed their fur, and got any homework stuff they needed for school put in their backpacks. Bandit and Chilli's process was almost the same, but with a shower. They then had 3 hours before they had to leave. Every other dog was getting up around this time, so the young Heelers talked to their partners until it was time to go.
At the Maltese, Border-Collie, and Russel it was your regular morning. Get ready, brekkie, out the door. But at the Kelpie house, it was like the purge. Kathy Kelpie yelled into their room, "REMINDER, THERE IS ONE HONEY BUN LEFT! YOU WANT IT, FIGHT FOR IT!" It was war. Dusty seemed to have the advantage in the race as she had the bottom bunk, but Rusty jumped down and got into a position similar to an Olympic track runner and took off. Dusty was easily overtaken. He raced to the kitchen long before Dusty arrived. The honey bun was acquired. Dusty stared down Rusty. "YOU WANT THE HONEY BUN? TAKE IT FROM MY DEAD BODY! EAT MY CRUMBS!" Rusty yelled, running to the bathroom, planning to lock himself in. But Dusty pulled an action movie slide to Rusty's legs and the honey bun flew into her hand. It was a chase, with many turns but she did make it to the bathroom long enough to devour the honey bun. "I dfid dit!" Dusty said victoriously, mouth still full of honey bun. The larger red kelpie groaned as he walked back to the pantry, honey-bun-less. They all went to school, which was pretty uneventful, and they all went back home. Bluey took Bingo to the sleepover and went back home to wait for her parents to return from the store
(Bluey POV)
I was texting Mackenzie about nothing really, ignorance is bliss, when Bandit stumbled through the door, sat down at the table, and bawled harder than I'd seen anyone do before.
"D-dad? What's wrong?" I asked, scared of something I don't know.
"Bluey... She's not w-with us..."
"Who isn't?!"
"... mum ..."

Author's note —— I read the book "Ripple" by Incoherent6 and knew I had to do something with that idea in this book. No one can be happy for too long.
