101 Dalmatian Street: Crush Landing

Family Talk

  Once Rosalind had gotten some time to (at least somewhat) recover from Delgado's compliment, she and her wheelchair-bound partner started exiting the park and making their way over to Winston Churchill University, where Franklin's dormitory would be. As they started exiting the park, Delgado turned his muzzle over towards his fluffy-furred date and asked, "So, uhh... did you have a good time tonight?"

  "Well," Rosalind replied, "the term 'good' feels like somewhat of an understatement. I think that 'great' and 'magical' would be much more appropriate. I mean, this was probably even better than pinning the Dimitris in wrestling!"

  "Oh, that's good to hear," Delgado responded in relief, "I was kinda worried that I might've seemed weird and awkward back there."

  "What, with those moves?" Rosalind commented with a trace of skepticism in her tone, prompting her wheelchair-bound date to blush and modestly say, "Well, I have kinda learned a few tricks from watching my big sis in action," to which Triple-D and DJ all nodded in agreement.

  "She sounds pretty cool," Rosalind commented, to which Delgado immediately continued, "Oh, she totally is! Her name's-"

  "Dolly?" Rosalind finished Delgado's comment, "I know, Dawkins told me."

  "Oh, o-okay," Delgado responded sheepishly, "hey, do you have any siblings?"

  "8, " Rosalind answered, "4 older, 4, younger, and I'm just smack-dab in the middle of 'em all."

  "Huh. Which ones do you hang out with most of the time?"

  "Well, to be honest," Rosalind started explaining, "ever since I started living with Franklin, I don't really see any of them that much anymore."

  "Oh," Delgado uttered out while thinking to himself, No wonder my fam's got such a problem with getting humaned up. 

  "But back when I did live with them," she continued, "I spent a lot of my time with Alex. They were always quite a hothead, but also an excellent hunting partner."

  "Ooh!" Delgado's interest was piqued, "What were your other sibs like?"

  "Well, my eldest brother was totally full of himself, and part of that might've been because our parents had always favored him most. In their eyes, he could pretty much do no wrong."

  Upon hearing this, Delgado immediately thought to himself, Sounds like they didn't deserve a daughter like her.

  Meanwhile, DJ and Triple-D were continuing to follow the two love-pups when Destiny whispered, "Those two are so gonna get married someday."

  "And we'll be the bridesmaids!" Deja Vu cheered dreamily, and Dallas immediately added, "With moi as the matron of honour!"

  "Hey!" Destiny was quick to respond, "what makes you think you'd be the matron of honour?"

  "I'd look best in the bridesmaid dress," Dallas answered smugly, to which Destiny quietly shouted, "We all look the same!"

  Hearing an argument starting, DJ instinctively took the two pink-wearing diva triplets by their collars and pulled them away from each other. "Are you two trying to get us caught?"

  "No," Destiny and Dallas both whispered before looking towards each other as if to say, "He'll definitely  soundtrack the wedding."
