A brief intro to Vignettes Of Our Lives:
You may know me as Jonathan Test. But you know me better as Johnny. This is the story of me at the age of 5 after I saved my buddy Dukey from the pound. When Susan and Mary gave him the ability to speak, it was the beginning of a journey that would for the next 6 years lead to us becoming the best buddies we are today. Before those days when I'm often grounded for an experiment with my sisters, failing in school or blackmailing my peers, there were those boy and his dog moments with my only buddy in this world. Having a friend taught to be one and Dukey found love within me in a home away from a dog gone world and through a series of adventures, he would become the world's best dog.
Another beautiful summer morning in Porkbelly. After eating breakfast with my sisters, The 5 year old version of me found Dukey sipping a cup of coffee on the porch. Why is he drinking that stuff? It was a week since the first time he talked.
"Dukey? What are you doing?" I said
"Enjoying a cup of coffee with sugar. The girls convinced me I should try one after all I can talk now." Dukey said I said in response.
"I'm surprised," Then I fed Dukey a juicy piece of steak and gave him a gentle hug and rub on his belly as my way of saying "I Love you". Then, he gave me a lick on the cheek telling me "I love you too" just as he did when I first hugged him at the pound. I said
"I guess turning you into a talking talk was a great idea after all huh, boy," Dukey keep me a happy smile and kept licking my cheek. Boy I sure love my dog.
"We'll do tons of fun things together now that I can talk Johnny and I'll always be your smelly dog." Dukey said.

Later that day, after I was shoved out of the house by my parents to get some fresh air after I'd stuffed myself in my room playing video games all morning, I came across Dukey's favorite blue ball and got an idea. I grabbed it and threw it across the yard, in Dukey's direction. I laughed as I watched Dukey run wildly after it.
When he brought the ball back and dropped it into my hand, I smiled and threw it again. Dukey once again chased after it excitedly, and once he got back, took me by surprise and jumped on me, making me fall over. We laughed together, and as we calmed down, Dukey licked my cheek.
"Dukey, you're my best friend." I said with a smile.
"I always will be, buddy," Dukey responded.
Well, there we have the first short oneshot! I have been requested by manuelmusical14 to do a series of vignettes between Johnny and Dukey. Therefore, I'll post a new one each week. They probably won't be too long, though, because even though I really only have 3 stories going right now, it takes me a couple hours at a time to complete a chapter because they require a lot of thought to plan out the characters next moves. And plus I've done so many stories by now that it's getting a little tougher to squeeze ideas outta my head. But anyways, enough blabbing,…review!
