The New Pup

Ch 5

Mornings....

What a wonderful thing! That is until the yelling came...and the sound of something breaking....wait! Something broke?!
I jumped awake and what greeted me was....a broken vase and the boys fighting.......AGAIN. They also woke me up.....

"Well. Well. Well. Looks like I'm awake...."

Max's POV:
Duke is SNORING extremely loudly. And CLOSE to my face! I couldn't get any sleep last night, so I stayed up all night! Not one wink of sleep! I just want him to shut up! So I did a rational thing......I kicked him in the nose.....and he woke up of course....also furious.

Duke's POV:
Ahhhh, what a nice morning....that is until I felt a great amount of force on my nose....I was kicked in the face. And when I opened my eyes. What greeted me was the smug face of Max....he's dead. So with that thought, I lunged at him...we fought and argued. Said some hurtful things but we forgot about the consequences....Betty...and we faced those consequences...

"Well. Well. Well. Looks like I'm awake....."

I was scared and so was Max.

Betty's POV:
I was done.....so done! And with that thought...I joined in the fight....yeah you heard that right. I joined in the fight. There was a lot of biting and scratching. We also may have broken some things but that doesn't matter....why? Simple, I won~

I feel victorious! Completed! I feel good....as I stood proudly before my defeated foe, I noticed that Max wasn't here. Huh....I wonder where he went and hopefully he won't do something stupid.

Max's POV:
Oh man! She's mad! Everybody run! And like the smart dog I am, I ran. As for Duke...he stayed behind. That is saying a lot about his intelligence. Looking around, I hurried to the window, and climbed out. Okay, I'm safe....for now. I'll just hide here until Betty calms down. While I wait I need to find a way to get rid of my "brother."

Does he really want to do this? Yes. Yes he does. Okay just need a plan. A plan....I need someone who has no attachment to him to help him. Someone who doesn't care that much......Chloe? Yes! Of course! Chloe! She doesn't care about my roommate but she does give some good advice. Up the fire escape route!

Betty POV:
Where could he be?

Max isn't back still. Where did he go? I really hope he won't do something stupid. While I was waiting I noticed Katie also woke up and saw the broken vase. She just looked at it and sighed. I guess she expected this happen. She cleaned up and went to get ready for her job.

"What's she doing?" Duke asked.

"She getting ready." I responded.

"For what?" Duke asked again.

"For her job" Short and simple.

"What's a job?" Duke asked. He doesn't know what a job is?

"A job is a place the human goes to to get money to help with their living condition." I responded.

"Oooooh I see!" Duke says. Huh. He accepted that better than I thought....unlike Max.

I like Duke. He's sweet and kind. He's also a wake up call to Max. A wake up call that says "your not the only pet." Over the years, I've notice Max has been getting cocky and arrogant that it reflects in his actions. With Duke here, Max will know when he's grown too arrogant.

I just hope they get along. I really do like Duke and I care for Max. I don't want them to get rid of the other but than again they are kind of acting like siblings already. I think.....I don't have any littermates so I don't know anything about family relations that pack mates have.
