Ancient Evils, New Heros

Part 15

Alyssa closed the door as Ash brought Mr Sparkles into the house. Ash went and laid on the couch and Mr. Sparkles jumped up and sat right on her stomach. He just stared at her while wagging his tail. Alyssa walked over and watched the two have a staring contest.

“Is this actually happening?” She got no response as they continued on. Mr Sparkles started to lick her face and Ash looked away.

“Stop, I don’t want to be licked!” He continued on as Ash started laughing. Alyssa started tickling her. “Stop!” Ash continued to laugh as she tried to get them off of her. Her headache started getting worse. “Please stop, my head is pounding!” They both stopped. When they did Ash held her head in pain. She groaned and Alyssa sighed.

“Sorry, I didn’t know.” Mr Sparkles put his head down and his ears fell. Ash held him close.

“I’m sorry for yelling, don't be sad please.” He picked his head up.

“Bark!” He started wagging his tail.

“Alyssa, I really am sorry for yelling. My head was just bothering me.” Alyssa smiled.

“I know, and I'm okay with that. But I hope your headache can't get worse, cause it's Monday.” Ash picked up a pillow and groaned into it.

“I hate Monday.” Her voice was muffled because of the pillow.

“I know, but we do have to go to school.” Ash took the pillow off of her face.

“Achoo!” She did a fake sneeze. “I think I'm sick.” Alyssa was not amused.

“If you don't get up I will hit you with that pillow at full force and I will make Mr Sparkles attack you.” Ash glared at her.

“You wouldn't.”

“I would.” Ash got Mr Sparkles off of her and she got up.

“I need a shower.”

“Alright.” Ash went to the bathroom and Mr Sparkles followed, Alyssa stopped him.

“Sorry, but she needs to get a shower. I can play with you.”

“Bark bark!” His tail was wagging. Alyssa got a small ball and threw. He went right after it. Alyssa smiled at it. She then heard the water turn on.

5 minutes later

Ash walked out of the bathroom in new clothes. She was wearing a black shirt with the Nightwing symbol on it and was wearing black sweatpants. She had on old shoes. Ash noticed her red hair was starting to fade and it was now pink. She walked back into the living room to see Alyssa talking to her mom.

“Mom, I need you to watch something for Ash and I.”

“Well what is it?” She was confused, especially since Ash and Alyssa had nothing that had to be watched before. Mr Sparkles ran out from behind Alyssa.

“Bark!” His tail was wagging. Her mom looked at him in surprise.

“When did you get a dog?”

“This morning actually. He was sitting in a basket at the front door. He had no collar and we saw no one running away from our house, so we decided to take him…” Her mom sighed.

“Will you two actually take care of him?”

“Yes, we will. We’ll do whatever we can to take care of him. We just don't know if he's potty trained so that's why I want you to watch him.” Alyssa gave her best puppy dog eyes. Her mom gave in.
