Chapter 17

          "Where did you get a puppy?" Alex asked.
          "I grew a little impatient waiting for you to return-oh, I see you got the scepter!"

(Time skip)

Goldilocks looked down at the small dog and then back up at Red with a smile. "He's very cute, congratulations."

The others did a double take. They had never seen Goldilocks collect herself so effortlessly before.

          "Thank you," Red said. She climbed the steps back down to the lower deck, rocking her new pet as she went. "Oh my, Clawdius (the puppy) what cute little paws you have! Oh my, what precious little eyes you have. Oh my, what pointy little ears you have......"

           Goldilocks began unloading all her weapons, chuckling as she did.

          "That was big of you," Conner said to her.

          "What's so amusing?" Jack said.

          "Red is in for a rude awakening," Goldilocks said.

          "Oh, dear," Froggy said. "Why is that?"

A sly smile came to Goldilocks face.

           "I'd recognize one of those anywhere. That's not a puppy- it's a wolf cub."
