"Shouldn't you be wearing an apron?"

This Lizzie girl has more sense than I do; in my hurry to wash Luna and get it over with I had completely disregarded my new clothes. She must have seen the realization dawning on to my face because she giggled at me.

"I'll go get one." She offered kindly, I smiled gratefully and she hurried of. I stood with the hose in my grip and Mika beside me. She was done tying Luna to basketball hoop stand and was waiting patiently for her sister to return.

"Aren't you worried about getting your clothes wet?" I asked looking down at the small child; she shook her head rapidly from side to side.

"Nope." Simple and to the point, I approve. I looked to Luna and couldn't help but smile. I was expecting her to put up more of a fight when I dragged the long hose, but she didn't. She still stood there sniffing at the air and waiting patiently, guess she needed a wash more than I thought.

After Lizzie had returned with an apron for me, her and her little sister—who did everything she could to avoid wearing the piece of clothing— I turned the little knob on the hose that kept the water at bay. I wasn't expecting the sudden high pressure of water that blasted out and shot Luna in the thigh, startling her. The girl laughed delighted by my befuddled state as I furiously tried to control the water.

Good thing I wore an apron.

I sighed in relief when the water poured in a normal, steady flow. My hair was effectively wet and Luna was trying to get away before I attempted to give her another heart attack. After a few doting pats I managed to calm her down and began to wash her.

Soap suds covered her entire body, bubbles floated into the air above us. I scrubbed my fingers through her heavy coat, squeezing and scratching away at the dirt on her back. The girls were a lot more delicate than I was being. They were scratching and petting at Luna's head fondly, being careful not to get any water into her floppy ears.

They were giggling and openly enjoying themselves in such a menial task like washing a dog. I was a little hesitant to let them too close to Luna, afraid that their presence would bring up too many unwanted memories of her own mini human, back when she had a family. Luna showed no such disdain and silently accepted their caress listened to their cooing soft voices that showered her with compliments.

I rolled my eyes at the attention whore, but expression grew serious when I caught the way Mika's stubby fingers were inching down to the base of Luna's throat.

"Be careful, Luna's a little sensitive about her neck." I warned walking over to their side; the girl froze instantly, their smile wavering for a moment and concern taking over their clear eyes.

"Oh okay, sorry about that Lu-Lu."

Lu-Lu? My god it's started. Next thing I know Lu-Lu is going to find me one day wearing a freaking bow on her head. If I stay here that long that is.

I washed off the soap and instinctively took a massive step back. I forgot to warn the kids because in the next moment Luna's entire body shook off skin deep layer of water, effectively drenching the unsuspecting children. The screamed in shock at first but soon laughed at the predicament.

Their abrupt shrieking pierced my ear drums, I had to clench my fists to stop the urge to clamp a hand over their mouths, afraid of the danger they would attract.
