I have not been updating Littlest Pet Shop: A Day Off Work for a while, and I apologize. I have just been through some depression and stress with things, so I took a break. I'm back to writing normally though. While I'm writing new chapters for Littlest Pet Shop: A Day Off Work, I also want to write chapters for this story.
This is a Russell x Zoe story. Ironically, this story has a history (or story) of its own. Basically, this story already exists… in Russian, on a Russian fanfiction website. After getting permission from a good friend who originally wrote the story and goes by Russell_03, I offered to translate the chapters and finish the story as it is unfinished. So, the main credit goes to Russell_03 for writing the story.
I don't know Russian though, so I just used an online translator. Honestly, I still think I did a great job. I have translated chapters 1 to 4, and continued the story onwards. We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for the seventeenth chapter of Littlest Pet Shop: A Day Off Work.
It was a moonlit night. There was complete silence, as if somebody had muted all sounds, like on a video recording. But something then broke this piece: someone's quiet whisper, along with crackling bushes.
"I cannot do this anymore!" was heard from the bushes on the right. It sounded more like a howl rather than someone's speech.
"Be patient. We're almost home," another dry voice answered stiffly. Apparently, the person with this voice was very irritated with this whining, "Plus, don't forget this was all your idea! If it wasn't for you, we would've been sleeping peacefully at home!"
For a moment, there was complete silence again. But then from the glad came out two silhouettes, resembling a hedgehog and a dog. But look at the state of them! From head to toe was dirt, and they were plastered with burdock! And indeed, they looked very tired and hungry judging from the looks and motion. The moonlight lit them, and they were much more visible now. Both the hedgehog and the dog were covered in scratches and scuffs, and the violet (yes, it was purple) dog had fur torn off from the ear.
"I seem to be dying!" the dog howled again. For believability, she fell to the ground and closed her eyes. The hedgehog wasn't convinced though.
"Are you kidding?" he responded, rolling his eyes as usual, "Zoe, we're almost there. We've overcome mountains and many obstacles! And when we only have a couple of blocks to go, you want to give up?!"
He abruptly picked up this purple dog named Zoe. But she then gave a scream of pain as a result. It seems the hedgehog, lifting her, had touched one of her numerous wounds.
"I'll get up, I'll get up!" she snapped rudely.
Good, thought the hedgehog. He also thought about something else, but when he heard "Are you coming or not, Russell?", he set out on his way to his companion.
"Soon, we'll find the others. We haven't seen them for so long… I wonder if they forgot about us. What did our owners do? Well, we'll finally find out."
