----------------------------------------------
      Watching the news, Barry and I sat at the counter eating our breakfast.
      "What a City? They have 2 superhero speedsters running around and still people commit crime."
        "But those small crimes the police handle. Metas are our main job and we can't solve everything."
         "I know, you're always right. How did I get so lucky to have you?" Barry asked me.
        "I don't know. What are we gonna do today?" I asked Barry.
         "Well, Captain gave us the day off and they don't need us at S.T.A.R Labs. What should we do?"
        "I've been thinking. We're at a good point in our relationship and I think we have everything steady in our lives for now. How about adding a new addition? And by that I don't mean child, but a furry one."
        "That's a great idea! That will give us something to have at home to take care of and to love.......other than you of course."
         "Aww Barry......finish your pancakes and we'll go."
         "But your not even-" Barry said before I sped up to my room. I sped around my room getting ready, and sped back in less than 3 seconds.
        "Ready," he said as I sped infront of him ready to go. He scarfed down his pancakes and sped upstairs to get changed. He met me at the door wearing his usual jeans, button up, and converse, and we were out the door.
      When we arrived at the shelter, it was a mix of different sounds. High and low pitch barking, growling, grumbling, and howling. We walked up the aisles of cages, asking and observing each dog. All of them were different sizes and colorings. We took some dogs out to play, but none of them were the right fit for us. We were about to walk out the door, when a man came in with a dog. The dog was black and he was a puppy. He had crystal blue eyes and his paws made sounds across the floor as he walked.
       "Excuse me? Is that dog up for adoption?" I asked.
        "Yup, he just came in. Suffered from an abusive home life before we found him and he's only a year old," the man said. He walked past us to put the dog in his cage but the dog wouldn't go.
      The man tried pulling on the leash and eventually tried picking him up. The dog was too quick and he slipped out of his collar. He came running over to Barry and I and we crouched down on the floor. The dog tackled me and began giving me kisses on my face. I couldn't stop laughing.
      Barry picked him up with ease and the dog began giving him kisses as well. Barry and I both exchanged glances before exchanging smiles.
        "We'll take him."
