Forward. Upward. Onward: A Bluey Story.

Kitchen Gloves

A/N: Quick reminder this was supposed to be a tragedy, turned comedy.

The Present;

"Uh-hum..."

Bingo had a phone pegged to the side of her head with duct tape with the torch on. She was moving stuff around the back of the family TV. "This goes in this connector..., Then we plug the HDMI cable into the TV..."

Her paw came out into the rest of the living room, where Chloe and Winnie lied in wait.

"Phone charger."

Winnie handed her a USB cable. Bingo would plug it into her contraption.

"Phone."

Chloe handed her the phone. "Be careful, you could cut a finger"

Bingo plugged it in as well. The TV screen illuminated itself with Mackenzie's lockscreen. "Oven glove."

"What?"

"Give me an oven glove."

Winnie nodded and ran to the kitchen, from where she came out with a purple kitchen glove. "What's this for?"

"So we don't cut our fingers when operating the phone." Bingo said as she put it over her right paw.

She would turn on the phone, and the TV would illuminate itself with the lock screen once again. Bingo would slide up to find his phone has a PIN. "Anyone know Mackenzie's password?"

Chloe would guess. "Try 'SHEEPDOG' in all caps"

"Sheepdog... in all caps..."

The phone would unlock itself, revealing his homescreen.

"Oh, it's that picture. How sweet." Bingo snarked before entering Instabark and going to the Inbox. "Let's see how ba- OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS-"

She covered her eyes and turned around. "Now I see why she chose to be with him, haha", she awkwardly chuckled.

"Hang on..." Chloe said. "Bingo, can you zoom in?"

"Chloe! What?!"

She frowned. "I meant on the messages, dirty-minded"

Bingo did as she was asked.

"Those are from tonight!" Winnie exclaimed. "Can you scroll up?"

"Yep." she replied as she scrolled all the way into the beginning of the chat.

"6:56!" Chloe exclaimed. "Go into the girl's profile"

Bingo did so. "Clean. Created yesternight."

Winnie took out her phone and snapped a picture of the chats. "We have to show this to Bluey."

– – –

There was a knock on the door. "Bluey! Are you there?"

"N-not now, Chl-Chloe..."

"Bluey, I'm coming in."

She bursted through the door to find Bluey sitting on her bed, crying, holding Polly Puppy. Affront her was Mackenzie's birthday gift, rolled up, chopped into 3 pieces. "I-I c-an't believe that bitch would do th-that to me..."

"Neither could we." Chloe said calmly. "Come with me"

"Wh-why?"

"Just come with me"

– – –

Chloe held Bluey's hands while they went down the stairs so she wouldn't trip or anything. Once they made it into the living room, they found Bingo and Winnie standing in front of the screen, waiting for her.

"Gee, this explains why you never get any slee-"

"Shh! Bingo!"

"Sorry." She'd say awkwardly, "But st-"

"We!-" Chloe interjected. "-didn't quite buy the whole cheating thing, and Bingo lended us her TV plug thing so we could verify."

"Look at the message sent times"

Bluey looked at the screen. "6:56..."

"Do you remember what we were doing at that time?"

She stayed silent for a bit. "He was in the bathroom..."

Her eyes widened. "But he didn't bring his phone!"

"Also, the profile is empty and was created yesternight"

Bluey's eyes were filled with regret. "Oh biscuits, what have I done!" she said before running towards the table where her phone sat.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to call him to apologise!"

All three of her friends -slash sister- deadpan stared as she dialled up. Eventually, the Call Incoming screen would pop up on the TV.

"Oh." Bluey would say as she noticed 'Blues -blue heart emoji-' had popped up.

"Don't worry Bluey, we'll find him."

– – –

Winnie was an outlier, she didn't know any of these people for more than a couple hours, so she couldn't judge or anything. But she did come to realise something.

If Mackenzie was in the bathroom, and they were in the kitchen... then how did those messages and pictures get in his inbox?

Kelpie household;
10 minutes after the meltdown.

There was a knock on the door, the same door which was opened by an 18 year old red kelpie wearing a hat.

"Rusty! They're looking for you!"

The almost 15 year old Red Kelpie looked towards the door after this comment. "Mackenzie! Come in!"

The border collie entered the house.

"What brings you here?" asked the middle kelpie who was sitting on the kitchen table, having dinner with his siblings.

Mackenzie sat down and was about to begin his explanation before Digger put a plate with a grilled cheese sandwich in front of him. "What's the plate for?"

"For you to eat. You're our guest tonight."

Mackenzie took a bite off the sandwich. "Thwankphts"

"So Mack, why are you here?"

"Uhm, well, the girls came over to finish up our project-" He took another bite. "And i went to the bathroom, and when i came back-" He took a third bite. "Bluey shoved my phone into my face with some chats with a girl from NZ" He took a fourth bite. "And with like nudes and stuff, but you know something? Those pictures were fake! Like mate i've never taken any pictures of that sort! I wish i was that well endowed!" He took a fifth bite. "And she swore at me and told me to kill myself!" Tears started to form as he took the sixth bite. "But i didn't do any of that! I would never cheat on my blueberry!"

All three kelpies stared at him, wondering how their calm dinner somehow turned into a vent about Mackenzie in lewd pictures.

"I've never, ever heard her swear! something so horrible at that!"

He stopped for a moment as the dam broke down again. "Why?! Why does the universe take everything I love from me?!"

Digger handed him a can of beer. "Here you go dude."

Dusty then looked up from her Tailpad and attempted to intervene "Dig, that doesn't seem like a goo-"

Too late. Mackenzie opened it and took a looong sip.

And another... And another...

...and another.

A/N: Digger is an idiot, but so is everyone so idk.
