It was on our way from school on Friday that it hit me. The one thing that our family missed. That other families had.
A pet.
There was a little girl out in her yard with her dog. It was one of the cutest I had ever seen, a little fluffy black thing with a white streaks on its chest and muzzle. It also had brown tufts of fur above its eyes and on its paws. And in the center of it all was beutiful turquoise eyes that shone like jewels in a necklace.
The little blonde headed girl was rolling with the puppy, play fighting with a chew toy. "Boss!" she giggled as he licked her acros the face.
I turned to Chase. "We should get a pet!" my eyes gleamed.
"No way! Davenport would never let us!" He exclaimed.
"Is that your favorite saying, or what?" Leo glared at him.
"No, it's just a true one." he said proudly.
"Stuck-up." Adam muttered.
"Bionic hearing here! I can hear EVERYTHING!"
I rolled my eyes.
"It's a good thing you can't read minds..." Leo snickered.
"We should get a pony! A purple one name-" Adam started.
"Named blue! Pretty close to mind reading..." Chase finished exasperated.
"It's Adam! That's as predictable as the moon cycles!" I exclaimed. "By the way, genius, what kind of dog is that?" I jerked a thumb over my shoulder.
"An Austrailian Shepherd. That's a puppy. They were bred in Austrailia back in-"
"She said what kind of dog, not the whole scoop!" Leo interrupted.
Chase was quiet.
We had just about reached home by now, and Leo, Adam and I had decided to team up to find the perfect pet, and convince Davenport to let us get one.
**An half hour later**
"Please Mr. Davenport?! We could so find the perfect pet!" I pleaded.
"Yeah! You wouldn't even know it was there!" Leo backed me up.
"Like a purple pony named Blue!"
"A definate no to the pony, but how about you go bug Tasha for a while?" He exclaimed.
"Yeah, Mom's always wanted a dog!" Leo said gleefully.
"Wait what?!" Donald exclaimed, but we were already speeding upstairs.
**Fifteen Minutes later**
"How about a Yorkie?"
"Or a kitten!"
"What about a Labrador?"
"I'm telling you guys, a pony is always there for you!"
It was the four of us on Donald's computer in the living room looking for the perfect pet.
Davenport's great idea to throw us on Tasha was really backfiring - she had been ecstatic when we told her.
"How about a bionic guinea pig?!" Douglas walked into the room with a maniacal grin on his face.
We all gave him a weird look. Except for Adam.
"That would be...AWESOME!"
"I know, right?!" Douglas and Adam continued to discuss their pet.
The three sane people in the room turned back to the computer.
"I think we should get a hamster to start." Tasha said. "It says right here that they are the perfect beginner pet."
I zoomed out the door and returned a minute later with a hamster in a cage. "Straight from Syria!" I exclaimed. (Hamsters don't live in Syria anymore, I know, but bear with me! Just act like they do...)
"That is never going to be normal." Tasha mumbled. She then looked in the cage. "Oh, what a cutie!"
She reached in, but was quickly attacked. "Ahh! Take it back, take it back!"
So I raced back to Syria with that monster, which I dubbed Scrat, like the squirrel on Ice Age.
"Next pet!" Leo exclaimed.
**Author's Note**
Ever since I started watching Lab Rats, I've thought of an episode where they decide to get a pet. Thus, this fanfic was born! The hamster was based off of my brother's hamster, who was also named Scrat. But for the record, I have had nine hamsters in my life and all of them have been tamed with training. Exception of Scrat. My sister's hammie, Fluffy is an absoulute ANGEL! As is my current hammie, Dunkin Doughnut.
Constructive criticism welcome! Please R & R! Any pet you would like to see the Davenports try, you can leave in a comment! Till' next chapter!
