Puppy Love [Max x Gidget]

Chapter 4

Gidget giggled as she walked around. Life was great now that she wasn't in a relationship. No problems. No worries. No heartbreaks. No Max. She could get used to being single and free. She didn't need a boy. She didn't need love. She didn't need anything or anyone.

She was like Taylor Swift. She didn't need to be in a relationship to be happy. At least, to her she didn't. Max could just live his life with this other terrier and his new pups. What did she care? It's not like she'd have a say in this. Max made that pretty clear at his apartment.

Still, she did feel a little incomplete, but she chose to ignore it. It wasn't something that was going to nag at her until she did something about it...right?

Right. It wasn't going to bother her.

She was walking past an alley way when she felt something hit her ear. Turning her head, she lifted her snow white paw and rubbed it. "Ow.."

"Hey, you. Fluff ball."

Gidget dropped her paw back to the concrete once she heard a voice. "Huh? Who's there?"

"Over here. Near the sewer top."

"Um...okay...?"

Taking a deep breath, the little Pomeranian made her way into the dark alley, suddenly hearing all the bad sounds that New York City had to offer.

Now at the sewer top, Gidget looked around confused. "Okay, I'm here...but where are you?"

"Under the top," the voice started. "Open it up and I'll come out."

Gidget was about to open the top, but then she hesitated, remembering a similar encounter up on the roof when she was looking for Max.

Retracting her paw, she gulped. "Are you...are you going to eat me?"

The voice beneath her chuckled. "I don't think I can eat you, why do you ask?"

Gidget shrugged even though no one could see her. "I kinda was in this same situation except it was with a hawk, and when I took off his mask, he tried to eat me."

"What did this hawk look like?"

"He was sorta red and brown, but mixed together, brown eyes and his name is Tiberius."

"Wait a minute," the voice said. "Hawk, girl who is fluffy...you're the little dog who had beaten up my crew."

"I'n sorry," Gidget replied confused. "Your crew?"

Gidget only nudged the top open, and she stepped back once the animal came out, who was also white."

"Yeah, my crew," the animal stated. "The Flushed Pets."
