Hi everyone. If you are reading the story Love with a Side of Malcontent just know that it will be updated shortly (I hope). So my beta won't be updating until I get my brain sorted out. Everything else is planned out. This is just something I came up with one day while reading another fanfic so if you do not like it please be kind!

Disclaimer: No matter how much I may want to I know that I do not own the magnificent characters of Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse…or the soon to be coming (in about a year) Breaking Dawn. If I did Jake would have gotten his butt kicked by Edward for kissing Bella.

Chapter One

--------Bella's POV ---------

I was extremely pissed off and had just made it through a horrendous day. First of all I was almost late because there was some random moose on the road and I had to call Edward and get him to scare it off. The moose must have been pretty dense because it just kept standing in the road, not realizing it was feet away from a vampire that could possibly turn it into a meal. It took Edward ten minutes to get the moose to budge and all it did was move to the other side of the road. Talk about one dim-witted animal. Then Edward said that he and his entire family were going to go hunting and wouldn't be back till late. Just great. There goes my life.

Going to work today had been a total and complete waste of my time. There was not a single bloody customer the whole day. I seriously wanted to shoot Mike after only a short time alone with him. No matter how many times I say that I am in love with Edward and only Edward he still tries to get a date with me. I am seriously beginning to wonder how many times he was dropped on his head as a baby, probably a whole lot. Why can't he just get a clue!

Trying to calm myself down I decided to visit the local animal shelter. I had wanted a pet ever since I was little, but every time I managed to convince Renee that I needed a fish it would end up dead within a week. Maybe something with actual legs would be a bit sturdier. But knowing my luck, it could be even worse.

I walked in and could immediately hear dogs begin to bark. A dog would be nice and sturdy and Charlie wouldn't mind as long as I didn't get a Chihuahua or something that resembled and I quote 'a giant rat that won't shut up'. Therefore, anything small that yaps is out. Okay so I still had plenty to choose from. Cats were out because it would become one of Emmett's freaky experiments and go something like can a vampire turn a cat into a vampire cat, or some other horribly cruel thing.

The lady behind the counter told me to go ahead and go in to the area where the kennels were. As I stepped into the room my eyes fell upon the perfect dog. Actually puppy. Oh My Carlisle was he gorgeous! The same shade of black as the eyes of Edward when he had denied his thirst for too long from head to toe and the cutest floppy ears that refused to go down. When he saw me he started to wag his tail and it made the cutest loud thud like noises as it made contact with the wall. His eyes were the exact shade of warm brown as mine and he made just the most perfect whining/talking noises. It was like he was saying "Pick me, pick me!". I just had to have him!

"Excuse me," I said "but I would like to adopt the cute puppy that is completely black."

"Oh, you want Blackie? I am so happy someone wants to adopt him because he has been here for far too long and my superiors wanted to have him uthenized tomorrow." Replied the lady. Her nametag read Susan. She seemed pretty nice.

"It's a good thing I decided to come today I guess. Do you know what breed he is?" I asked

"The man who brought him in said that he was half Black Lab and half German Shepherd. He's been a dear and I am so pleased he can go to someone nice like you." Answered Susan

"Perfect. My dad can't complain about a dog that will probably love to go fishing with him. Do you know how old he is.?"

"About seven months probably. He will most likely live for eleven to twelve years so he will be there with you for a while. And being a puppy he will have extra energy."

"Don't worry about me," I said, "I'm pretty sure he will be no trouble. He's just a puppy after all, how much trouble could he actually cause?" Then I was allowed to actually meet Blackie. He ran up to me and jumped up onto his hind legs. He had the most adorable face! And his tail was pretty powerful too. He started to lick my arms so I bent down so I could be at his level. Then he pounced.

He jumped onto my back and grabbed my hair with his teeth. Then he jumped off and sat on my feet. I knew we would be great friends. He was my kind of dog. Maybe I could even teach him to scare the shit out of Mike Newton anytime he came near me. That would be hilarious!

"Well, I can certainly tell that Blackie likes you and I am sure you two will get along great. You just need to sign some papers and then you will be free to go."

I dealt with the paperwork easily and Susan even gave me free puppy food, some toys for Blackie, a collar and a leash! She was beyond caring and I would have to come back again just to say hi.

Now it was time to tell Charlie. I was pretty sure he wouldn't mind Blackie. I mean he had the cutest eyes that could just melt your heart. Now Edward however would be a different story. I'm not completely sure how he will react to having to share me with a puppy. He would probably get jealous, Edward, not the puppy.

The car ride home was…interesting. Blackie would not sit still for more than ten seconds at a time. He was constantly trying to either sit in my lap or lick the window or lick his 'family jewels'. He was definitely going to be fascinating to say the least.

When I pulled up Charlie opened the door to welcome me home. Instead of me he got a thirty-five pound black furry puppy missile jump onto him and knock him over.

"Bella, may I ask whose dog this is?" asked Charlie.

"Ours or more appropriately mine dad. I always wanted a dog and now I have one. Except that Blackie is a seven-month-old puppy. And just look at those ears." I replied

"Well Bells, you sure can pick 'em. This guy is gonna get bigger and stronger and will probably cause a heck of a lot of damage, but we will deal with that when it comes." Said Charlie with a smile. I could tell that he liked Blackie already.

Blackie was sniffing the carpet of the living room with his tail wagging when I walked in the door. I could just picture him lying at Edward's feet. Then, he peed on the carpet.

"Bad puppy! Bad, bad puppy! No going potty on the carpet!" I said in a firm and somewhat loud voice. I hooked him up to a leash and decided to take him outside. That way he could find a nice tree to continue doing his business on and find some interesting smells. I mean, come on, Vampire and Werewolf are pretty unique smells for an animal.

"Well, looks like Blackie has struck." Said Charlie, "Go ahead and take him outside. I will deal with this and order some pizza."

"Thanks dad." I replied

The minute Blackie made it out the door he started to pull me really hard. He ran around the entire yard sniffing and peeing. Guess he was marking his territory. Then suddenly he stopped, turned towards the woods, and took off running. Unfortunately since I was the one holding the leash, I went too. Talk about painful.

Blackie was extraordinarily fast, much faster than I thought a dog of his size could be. It seemed like he was looking for something because every so often he would slow down and sniff some more before taking off running again. I could barely keep up at all so I was mostly being dragged. If Emmett saw me he would make fun of me for eternity. All of a sudden Blackie started to run even faster. I was caught off guard and his abrupt acceleration caused me to lose my grip and be left behind.

I attempted to stand and was glad to discover that nothing was broken, but my right wrist hurt a bit and it felt like my shoulders were dislocated. I also seemed to have bruised my butt and I sprained my left ankle. Great, now how was I supposed to get back?

"Blackie, Blackie!" I called. This was not good. He was gone and now I was lost. I wish Edward were here!

Hahaha! There is the of chapter one. I really hoped you like it. Just so you know, many of the things that will happen in thjis story involving Blackie will be based on true events. I actually own a Black Lab German Shepherd mix dog named Blackie. He is now almost 11 months old. Please review because they make me feel all high like I just had a whole lot of caffeine!

Luv ya,
