Scamp and Atticus's Adventure

chapter 4

They even came across a fountain that had a cupid with a bow and arrow. Angel and Scamp shared glances at each other, but looked away when the other would look at one another. Mo even seemed to enjoy Atticus and was messing around with him in a teasing way to show that was how she showed affection. And where Atticus began to show his affection for her. Scamp, Atticus, Angel, and Mo then ran over a small bridge together as fireflies came out to lighten the mood.

And where scamp then began to fill his mouth with fireflies without swallowing them. Angel giggled and the flies around her appeared to make a necklace for her as she smile fondly at Scamp. Mo was catching some of the flies with Atticus and opened her hands up to let them fly away and decorate the summer atmosphere.  The four of them had passed a heart in the sidewalk that had Lady and Tramp's paw-prints in them.

They continued down the path until they came up to a restaurant. Scamp barked and allowed Angel to come too. Atticus and Mo were waiting and wanted food too. The owner of the restaurant Tony looked out and smiled to see the dogs and the kids and gave them a spaghetti dinner for free. Atticus and Mo shared a table and Scamp and Angel shared a table. 

Scamp did a move reminiscent of his father and allowed Angel to have one of the meatballs. Mo was eating her spaghetti quietly while Angel dove into hers like a real wild dog with no manners. Atticus did the same thing Scamp did. Scamp and Angel started to lick each other, nuzzle and have their tails wag. 

"Mine!" Mo beamed and snatched it and licked her fingertips. 

There was a full moon out as Mo and Atticus followed Scamp and Angel as they were chasing a squirrel together in the neighborhood.

"Tonight's been the best night I've ever had." Atticus said to Mo.

"Yeah, me too, tonight was so precious," Mo smiled back, a little bashfully. She then noticed the neighborhood they were going into. "Snob Hill, it seems."

Cherry was coming with James, Lady and Tramp down the sidewalk. Atticus and Scamp saw them coming.

"Oh no." Atticus said.

"We gotta hide." Scamp said.

Atticus and Scamp hid.

"Why, what's wrong?" Angel asked, wanting to meet the family.

"Yeah." Mo joined her.

Atticus and Scamp held the girls back into the bushes to hide with them. 

Tramp thought he smelled Scamp, but the bushes let out a bird and he hung his head low.

"Don't worry, we'll find them...." Cherry said to the dog.

"Yeah, you were the best street dog there ever was," Lady told her mate. "We still have faith in old Tramp."

"If only the old Tramp was here right now." the adult male dog said.

James whistled and called for his dogs. 

"Come on, we'll find Scamp and Atticus tomorrow." Cherry told the dogs and went inside with them as Scamp and Angel watched in secret.

Atticus and Mo also watched in secret.

"The Tramp is your father?" Angel looked at Scamp.

Scamp tried to explain to Angel, but she and Mo just went up to the Brown's house. Atticus and Scamp joined them. Angel and Mo looked to see the family together by the warm, crackling fire. Elizabeth was trying to settle Junior for bed and James told her the sad news. Lady and Tramp hung their heads. Even the triplets seemed sad, starting to really miss Scamp now, even if they were kidding about missing him earlier.
