Hi everyone. Just want to make 2 things clear. 1) this is my first story, so to help me improve feel free to leave a comment. Just don't be too brutal. 2) I'm making this up as I go along. Bear that in mind.
Oh, and one more thing, do u think this chapter is too short? It just doesn't look as long as some of the others. Could just be me.
Anyway enjoy
Chapter 1: Intro
New Old England town
The sun was shining hi in the sky, with oranges, reds and yellows mixed into the background. In the back garden of a big house, 4 excitable pups ran around the grass and through the bushes and flowerbeds playing "it" with each other while two adult dogs lazed in the sun on the porch.
One of these dogs was a pure-bred cocker spaniel with different shades of brown fur and floppy ears. The other was a shaggy grey mutt, allot taller than the spaniel. His fur, once tangled and unkempt was now clean (but retained its shaggy appearance) thanks to proper care off the streets.
"Don't you just love days like these tramp?" asked lady. Tramp smiled back at her "Yeah. Clear skies, warm sun, who could ask for any more?" His smile wavered for a second, but long enough for Lady to notice.
"What's wrong dear?"
"Well. It's just days like these sometimes make me miss my old life, you know? No responsibilities, all the time in the world to do whatever you want, hardly any worry's." Lady looked upset "But I thought you liked it hear with Jim dear and Darling and the pups, and me?"
"I do. I really really do pige, and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I just get a bit reminiscent sometimes. But I love every minute of it, and I love you even more." Tramp licked Lady's nose. "I love you to tramp." They snuggled together watching their children play. As the sun was setting to a orange, purple and blue sky they heard the sound on Darling calling them in. "Common everyone-" Said Darling "-We've got a long journey ahead of you tomorrow and you need your rest."
The pups came bounding in, one of them, Annette blurted excitedly " I can't wait till tomorrow! I'm so looking forward to New York." Lady laughed "It will be a big adventure, but you will enjoy it. Maybe it will give you a new lease of life." Giving tramp a smile side glance while also addressing her daughter.
The next morning all the bags were packed and in the car, then the dogs, then Jim Jr and lastly Jim dear and Darling in the front. The drive from New Old England town to New York would take more than one day; so about two thirds of the way into the journey they stayed overnight in a hotel. As the dogs were cooped up in the car for a long time (despite three stops to stretch legs) they were taken on a walk. During the walk Jim dear and Darling decided to have some dinner, so they all sat outside an Italian cafe. While the humans ate, all but one of the pups strained at their leads to try and experience all the new sights, smells and tastes of their surroundings.
"Wow! Look at that" said Scamp
"Did you smell that man? It was so wearied" exclaimed Annette
"Smell that air-" said Danielle, taking a deep breath in. "-Like nothing I've smelt before, almost... Dirty! That's it! It smells Dirty!" Lady also looked about in wonder, but tramp couldn't hep having his attention drawn toward Collette, the youngest of all the pups and the only one not having a good time.
"What's the matter Collette?" tramp asked, laying down next to her.
"I Don't like it here," she said sulkily. "It's loud and smelly and unfamiliar. I want to go home."
"Yeah, it is a bit more active than what you're use to. But you should at least give it a chance." Tramp rolled onto his back and stretched his legs in the air "Start making some memories."
"But what if something bad happens?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know, what if a gang of dog tries to eat me cos I'm so small? Or I get lost?" Tramp rolled onto his front. "Then they'll have to get through me first," He raised his head proudly, almost looking regal, "The best street dog in New Old England Town." This got a laugh from Collette.
"Were not in New Old England Town dad," chimed in Annette. "Yeah. and you're not a street dog any more dad. You gave it up to be with mum." Tramp's head lowered a little bit, "Yeah I did." His head raided again even higher and he looked at lady, "And I don't regret a single second of it." Lady and Tramp shared a warm look with each other. He turned back to his daughter, "Nothing bad is going to happen to you, just enjoy yourself."
This brightened Collette up. The Darlings finished their dinner and they all took a slow walk back to the hotel. "Such a wonderful night Jim Dear. And the hotel's very nice, don't you think?" Asked Darling. "Indeed it is, but I'm looking forward to my brothers mansion, and seeing my brother for that matter. It's been at least two years since we saw each other face to face."
