The birds were singing, the cars were honking, and Dave was snoring.
Marlene took in the fresh lovely morning air. Then let it out not so fresh anymore not even the same.
"Wake up. We've got a long day ahead of us."
Dave opened his eyes for a split second and closed them.
"Marlene it's too early for this. Let me sleep. Besides the birds aren't penguins yet." Dave yawned.
Marlene laughed at his words.
"Dave penguins are birds silly. But not all birds are penguins and they don't just turn into penguins either."
"But that's not what Darwin said alpansj..."
"Who is Darwin?"
"I saw him before you woke me up. You party pooper!""Tell Darwin he is stupid if you see him in your next dream. Now wake up it's early I will admit but the sun is out. And you have to pack now."
"Why? Where are we going?"
Marlene smiled. "That's the surprise. Now if you want to see it today I suggest we leave now. Now make sure you get washed. Cause you stink. Love you Dave.""Love you too! Okay! Hm...do I really stink?"
"Yes you do now go! We need to get ready! I am not so sure about packing anymore though. Nevertheless we'll be fine we are dogs."
Marlene smiled at how her little plan was already going so well.
"Ha! He is so dumb he won't even see it coming.""Are we there yet?"
"I don't know David you tell me.",Marlene took a deep breath,"David you are walking and seeing everything. You are not in a vehicle,We are traveling by foot."
"YOU DON'T KNOW? THIS WAS YOU'RE IDEA YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING I DON'T! OH MY GOSH! ARE WE LOST? "
"NO! CALM DOWN DAVID JESUS! No we are not lost.",Marlene took a deep breath,"No we are not lost...yes this was my idea well is my idea."
"Okay...then. Hey Marlene I have an idea lets play truth or dare!"
"Sure lets play let me find out your secrets or tell you to do stupid stuff cause that's definently fun."
"Yeah exactly...though you could have called it truth or dare."
"Cut it Dave I am not stupid."
"I never said you were."
"Dave don't play dumb. Cause you're not good at it."
"Wow...that's just mean if I wanted someone to be mean to me I would have just went next door to the street filled with cats."
"Dave you were going to try to get me to pick truth to try to guess where we were going, or get me to pick dare to just tell me to tell you."
"Wow...you really have been observing my behavior haven't you?"
Marlene's face turned red. Don't go soft Marlene this is not a romantic comedy that you see on television.
"What? No! Dave not just your behavior everyone's in general. Stop trying to flatter yourself Dave I am a observer of everyone." Marlene replied frostily."Okay geez Marlene stop being salty to the sugar." Dave laughed as a dog does.
Marlene attempted to stop herself from laughing, yet failed.
"What? Oh geez what am I going to do with you?""Two simple words...love me."
Marlene was happy to see they were already there.
"Are you hungry Dave?""No. Why?"
"Good because I don't feel like eating nor stopping to eat not right now."
"Oh okay wow are we in the woods?"
