Virals Adventure Book

Busted

(A/N: Just something short and cute to start it off.)

Frostbite's Pov

I moved slowly and silently, focused on my target. Fuzzy and gray, it sat in front of me, unaware that it was in danger.
Almost there. Almost there. I just have to-

Something slammed into me from behind, rolling me into my target who moved. Next thing I knew, I was on my back with a paw on my chest. Staring down at me was a pair of vibrant green eyes, sparking with amusement.

"That's how you stalk up on prey!" My attacker boasted
"Aww, come on," I whined. "I was so close to catching my prey!"
My attacker gave me a light cuff around the head. "Next time make sure you aren't the prey before you start hunting."
I gave a wicked grin. "Next time take your own advice."

My attacker blinked in confusion just as my older brother Burn tackled her off me. I rolled onto my paws and stood beside my brother as he sat on my attacker's chest. "Really Auntie Shadow, you should have seen that coming."
Beneath Burn, our Aunt Shadow huffed in laughter. "I really should have. But...."

Before I knew it, I'd be tackled again. This time when I looked up, I saw a pair of mis-matched eyes staring down at me. Shadow laughed, "you should have seen my back up!"

Smiling I giggled out, "get off me Whip!"
"Hmmm. I'm going to have to think about it," Whiplash said. She plunked her full weight down on my stomach.
I gasped. "Blargh. Why are you so heavy?"
She poked me with her paw. "Why are you so tiny?"

All of the sudden she squealed as she was flung upwards. My father caught her scruff in his mouth as she came back down. "Why are you both such rascals?"

I bounced to my paws. "Thanks Daddy!"

He laughed around Whip's fur. "Don't thank me yet."
I tipped my head, confused. Next thing I knew, my paws were off the ground and over my Dad's head. I looked up and saw a different pair of green eyes, accentuated by fiery red hair. "Aunt Tory!"

She gave a wicked grin, much like the one I had just given Aunt Shadow. "You little miss, are so busted."
Looking around, I saw the rest of my pup-mates being gathered in a similar fashion. "What's going on?" I asked.

You're probably wondering how Tory and her friends can understand us without flaring. Well, the way that they see it is that after so much time flaring so that they could understand us, it came as a sixth sense. Therefore, they don't have to full out flare to understand us, they just do. It may sound cool, but Uncle Hi had to go see a therapist because his mother caught him talking with Cooper.

"We found your little prank," Tory explained.
"And it was not funny," Uncle Ben grumbled.
I took one look at him and broke out laughing.

His hair was dyed blue, courtesy of moi and my three musketeers. Shelton's hair was dyed rainbow colored, not exactly in the stripes I was prepared for, but funny non the less. Hi's hair and hands were covered in Hawaii print colors. I looked at Tory and frowned.

"Why is your hair, you know, normal?" I asked.
"Because Ben texted me in time to warn me," she responded.
"Beeeeeeeeeen," Whip whined.
"It's Uncle Ben to you, you little-"
"Uncle Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen," Whip interrupted.
He sighed.

Anyways, our "prank" was to put food coloring inside their shampoo and conditioner bottles. Aunt Tory's hair would have been green and purple. Uncle Ben's hair was blue, Uncle Hi's was colored off of his favorite Hawaii print shirt- blue, yellow, green and red- while Uncle Shelton's hair was supposed to be rainbow striped. We had gotten help from Aunt Ella and Uncle Chance.

Of course it wouldn't have been fair to prank just Tory and her friends, so while Ella was over here, Auntie Shadow had gone over to Ella's house. Apparently, she had taken all the possessions from Ella's backpack along with some from her room and scattered them around her yard and house. Shimmer, of all hounds, had agreed to help as well. Let's just say that Chance is going to have to do a lot of laundry AND grocery shopping.

I was honestly surprised when Mommy helped out. It wasn't like her. Under interrogation from me and Burn, she said that she didn't get along well with Chance's new dog and wanted to get a message across about who was in charge.

"So what are you going to do to us?" Burn asked, trying to squirm out of Ben's grip.
"We're going to give you a taste of your own medicine," Tory said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Quake asked. He was calmly regarding us from Shelton's arms.
"Well, Christmas is coming in just a few days isn't it?"

~~•~~

"Say cheese!" There was a bright flash.
"This is humiliating," Burn grumbled.
"Are you kidding? This is hilarious," I wheezed. My brother just looked so silly.

As revenge, Tory and the gang had prepared us for Christmas. All four of us were wearing fuzzy green and red elf boots with a white fringe and little bronze bells. Matching vests and hats added to it. Whip and I had big Christmas ribbons tied around our hats like bows, while Burn and Quake's ribbons were tied around their necks like little bow ties. For participating in the events, all four of our parents were decked out in Santa outfits, beard and all.

It was hilarious.

I couldn't stop laughing my head off, especially at Burn who didn't like his booties. And Tory looked ridiculous as well.

"This is going to go inside the album," Hi said.
"Along with a selfie of our hair," Shelton added.
"You mean your hair," Tory corrected.
"Take a second look," Hi laughed.

Tory turned her phone camera into selfie mood and gawked. We all broke down laughing. We figured that something was bound to go wrong, so we added food color to everyone's back up bottles as well. Cooper had added something else that delayed the color change, so it wouldn't change colors until a good time after- courtesy of something he had learned after listening to Great-Aunt Brennan teach Tory about being a criminal tracker.

Tory shook her head and grinned. "You guys are way too smart."

All of us got close together and said cheese as Hi took our Christmas selfie.

Oh yeah. This was an awesome prank. I can't wait until April Fools!

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the first story of the virals adventure book!

I know that it's out of season, but hey, who doesn't like Christmas puppies?
