"Take care of Princess Positron for me, Dawkins. She's my favorite toy."
"All right, Tesla...I...I promise."
Dawkins frantically searched the house high and low, desperately looking for his beloved doll. Although he was trying to keep his usual cool composure, his little heart was racing faster in his chest the more the minutes passed. The inventor was beginning to panic and turned his attention over to Deepak who was calmly positioned on his yoga cushion. He tapped the meditating pup's shoulder but it was as if he was a statue. This wasn't helping the genius at all, he needed another pair of eyes to aide him in his search and Deepak was far too gone in his happy place.
He looked over to where Da Vinci was painting a beautiful picture of a pastoral meadow, "Excuse me, but have you seen my Princess Positron doll today?"
"Sorry, Dawkins." Da Vinci replied, "Haven't seen it and I'm afraid I'm a bit busy at the moment."
With an annoyed sigh, Dawkins rushed down the hallway where Dante emerged from a shadow at the end of the corridor, "DOOMSDAY!"Dawkins turned to Dante and glared at him, "You wouldn't have happened to seen my doll by any chance, have you Dante?"
"Sorry, man. I've only seen the abyss." Dante shrugged, "Besides, why do you like that ugly doll so much anyway?"
"PRINCESS POSITRON IS NOT UGLY, SHE IS A RAY OF BEAUTIFUL SUNLIGHT!" Dawkins screamed as he violently shook the goth's shoulders.
"Whatever, man. Take a chill pill. Jeez, and people tell ME I have to tone it down!" Dante rolled his eyes and started to help search
"Hi, my name is Dawkins. What's your name?" The adorable dalmatian puppy asked, wagging his tail.
"My name is Tesla." The saluki pup replied, wagging her own tail, "I love building things like rocket ships and stuff!"
"Really?" Little Dawkins gasped with joy, "So do I! Wanna be friends?"
"Of course I wanna be friends!" Tesla replied, giving Dawkins a big hug. And with that, the two genius pups rolled about the grass, giggling.
Dawkins and Dante ran all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen where DJ was practicing his percussion skills on some pots and pans, "Hello, DJ. Have you seen my doll by any chance?"
"Sorry, dude. I don't keep track of your things. You may wanna ask Delgado, though." DJ smiled calmly at the tense genius, "He's a pretty helpful guy."
Nodding, Dawkins ran off to the living room where Delgado was zipping back and forth in his wheelchair. Immediately, Dawkins jumped in front of him and held out his paw, signalling him to stop. Delgado came to a screeching halt, just inches from running the inventor pup over. Dawkins cleared his throat a bit and spoke up, "Delgado, have you by any chance seen my doll?"
"As a matter of fact, YES! I have." Delgado nodded with a grin on his face.
"REALLY?" Dawkins gasped with joy, "Please tell me where she is!"
"The Dimitris have her. They've been playing catch with her for the last hour or so." Delgado replied.
Immediately, Dawkins' jaw dropped and his eyes grew wide in horror, "Where...are...they?"
"In the backyard." Delgado said, pointing in the direction of the backyard.
Dawkins immediately ran as fast as he could to the backyard and Dante tried to keep up and he stared with a shocked look at the terrible sight before him. His paraplegic brother was telling the truth and the Dimitri trio were using a dirty and muddy Princess Positron doll to play catch with. Worse yet, they were playing dangerously close to Clarissa's yard. If his beloved princess fell over the fence, she'd be as good as gone.
