The Parents of Fleegle !

Love at First Sight

On a nice sunny day in 1969 , A black , tan , and white beagle wearing a big baby blue bowtie exits his house , fixeshis bowtie before he shuts the door and tskes a walk along the sidewalk , waving and saying hello to almost each and every fellow citizen he passed. His name is Benjamin.

He sighed as he makes it to a nature park and sits on a nearby bench . He stares at the huge fountain in front of him.

Ben- Well today's a lovely day.

He looks up and sees two white doves flying with each other and landing on a tree branch before they cuddle and nuzzle each other lovingly. Ben smiles.

Ben- Well... I guess I found a pair of " Love Birds" !

Ben chuckles at his own joke and sighs . He thinks about if he'll ever find a special someone . But he shakes it off and get up from the bench.

Ben- Oh , who am I kidding ? I probably won't even find the right girl .

Ben somberly walks off for several minutes until he stopped in front of a small ice cream stand. He walks over to it and grabs a 10 dollar bill out of his bowtie and hands it to the man.

Ben- Strawberry icecream on a cone please. And two scoops .

Man- You got it.

Not even a minute , the pwrson gives him his icecream and walks off but not before he thanks him and wishes him a nice day . only 5 minutes and he almost finishes his icecream as he walks around aimlessly . Once he finishes , he gets on and walks on a high and nearby bridge.

He stares at his reflection on the pond whilst he walks up the bridge. He gazes at it for a while until another but blurry figure appears by his side. He raises his brow.

Ben- Huh ?

Ben turns to his left and gasps at what he saw.

He saw a young and beautiful female golden retriever looking down at the pond. She appears to be walking on all legs and wears a red ascot on her neck. 

Ben- ( Quietly ) Whoa.

Ben's eyes widened and he even blushed a little as he kept his stare on her. But the blonde canine notices him staring and looks at him. She looks at him and raises a brow amd she speaks in a smooth lovely voice.

Retreiver- Who are you staring at ?

Ben- Huh ?

Ben shakes his head rapidly and snaps out of his trance. He stops blushing.

Ben- Oh um. I'm sorry. I-I'm Benjamin. But call me Ben. D-do you come here often ?

Retriever- Hmm... ( Looks down at the pond ) Sometimes.

Bem looks down at the water below them.

Retriever- It's my favorite place to go.

Ben- I see. How come I haven't seen you around before.

Retriever- My owner and I just moved here a couple weeks ago. She thinks today it'll be a perfect day for me to adjust to new surroundings and at least make new friends.

Ben- Well , say no more. You already made one friend and he's right in front of you.

The gold canine looks at him and chuckles softly , making the beagle blush again . After she stopped laughing she looks at him with a fond expression with half lidded eyes and a warm smile , making his whole face heat up.

Retriever- Then ,  I'm happy I've found one.

They gaze into each other's eyes before they hear a whistle , followed by a voice from behind the female. The fem retriever's head perked up at the sound and looks behind her.

Retriever- Oh ! It's my owner ! I gotta go ! I'll see you later !

She turns aroumd to take off but Bem stops her.

Ben- W-wait ! What's your name ? You never told me your name.

The golden retriever looks back at him with a smile filled with warmth.

Retriever- Goldie.

Then she ran off the bridge , on her way to her owner. Ben stares on as she left , absentmindedly muttering her name.

Ben- Goldie. Goldie. Goldie...
