-Puppy Love Chapter One-

I walked outside with a plate of fresh baked sugar cookies, on my way to bring some to Pops and his friends in the fields. They always like my cookies and it makes me feel a teensy bit helpful giving them some sugar to work off of.

And whom do I see on my porch but the blonde bombshell sitting next to Sammy. Moved over and held a cookie out in front of him with a small smirk. "I know you want it," I teased him. He sat patiently, his big dopey eyes staring up at me. The smartness of this dog-oh did I forget to mention he's a dog? He's a yellow lab with the prettiest brown eyes ever and next to him is Sammy, our black lab. "Oh no…" I said aloud, forgetting his name. It's always on the tip of my tongue. "Kah-kih-ker-ker!" I began to get a little excited about slowly remembering his name that I hadn't even noticed him take the cookie from my hand. "Ker-y…sorry boy, I forgot again."

Looking down at them I noticed Sammy eating half of the cookie and him (I'll call him Kay until I remember his name again) with his head cocked to the side and licking his lips. I looked at my hand and smirked, pointing at Kay, "You sneaky dog, you." I chuckled at my own words. "You aren't getting anymore treats from me today." Oh did this dog know how to use his true puppy eyes.

Labs were cute, ditsy and all about the ball until you made them stop. But this one was different. He was strong (all about fetch when someone played) and he stared at you with such knowing eyes. And when he stared up at you intently, his "eyebrows" creasing upwards it was scary and unbelievably my downfall.

"Okay," I sighed and grabbed another cookie.

Setting the plate on the railing of the deck, I broke the cookie in half and gave a half to each of them. "You two are too cute," I muttered, petting them as they scarfed the cookies. Sammy sniffed the deck for crumbs while Kay merely leaned into my touch. "I bet you two will make adorable puppies." The thought of these two having puppies was exciting. Not because it was an idea but because Sammy was round in the belly. And the only one who seemed to come around her was Kay here. "I can't wait, Sammy," I said, flopping her ears as I pet her head. She licked my nose with a doggish smile.

"Would those happen to be a fresh plate of cookies?" A gravelly voice asked.

I stood up with a smile, turning to look at my Pops. "Of course they are. I was about to bring them out to you when I saw these two sittin' on the porch. Gave them a couple as treats."

He chuckled and walked up onto the porch, patting Kay on the head and taking a cookie with his other hand. My dad was a tall, lean man (I call him old but forty-seven really isn't that old). He's got black hair with speckles of grey all over in it. He keeps it fairly short but sometimes, like now, it'll get too long and he'll tie it back in a pony. Right now he had a bit of stubble growing on his chin, adding shadow to his sunken cheeks. He had soft, green eyes with thick crows feet that made him look a little older whenever he smiled. His skin was a mix between a brown tan and a red one from burning up in the sun some. I always tell him to put on sunscreen but he never seems to hear that…

"Their good dogs. Now, you should go bring 'im back to the Kents farm before they start ta worry." Kay perked up at the name, looking out across the field in the direction of our neighbors-his home.

They were some acres away but watching him day to day and knowing how smart he was, I had no doubt he was looking directly at the house. He was a special dog, Kay was. Ugh! Why can't I remember his name? It was simple and easy too.

"I'll walk him over but I'm sure they know exactly where he is," I replied with a small shrug. "And 'sides, I should give the other men a couple of cookies too."

"They went home a couple of minutes ago, Pumpkin," he told me. "They would have loved them though. Why don't you give some to their boys if they're there? What's the young one's name again? Con-Conner!" He smiled, pointing at me. "That's the one, Conner."

I blushed lightly, grabbing the plate of cookies. It bothered me how easily my cheeks colored at the mention of his name and dad knew it and so did Konner's parents. They all just gave me smiles and knowing looks.

Dad walked down the steps to me and gave me a hug, moving the cookies out of the way and holding them off to the side for a moment. "Thanks for the cookies Pumpkin. I love them and I love you." He kissed my forehead and I could feel his stubble brush my skin. "But you also have to look out for yourself too, not just this old man and his farm hands. You're my daughter, not… Not Eleanor." He pulled back, keeping hold of one shoulder. "Mom would have encouraged you to go after such a fine young man as him so I have to fill in a little, despite my fatherly duties, and tell you to go after him if you'd like to. But," he said, holding up a finger. "Only if you want to. Your choice, not his. Don't let no man take advantage of you, you hear?"

I laughed at how little "motherly" attributes he could hold up. At least he tried though. "I got it, Pops. I'm not a little girl no more. I've grown out of my chubby cheeks," I stated with a laugh.

He pinched a cheek with a bright smile, "You're still my little girl no matter how much you grow."

I smiled and gave him another cookie. "Thanks, Pops." I backpedaled slowly, patting my leg with my free hand. "C'mon Kay, let's walk you home." And like a good boy, Kay hoped off the deck in a single bond and began to walk besides me. "Be back soon," I called over my shoulder.

"It's Krypto by the way," Dad called.

And then it clicked and I beamed down at Krypto. "That's right! Krypto. Aw I'm sorry, I promise I'll remember it this time," I told the lab beside me. Mouth open and tongue lolling, he looked up at me. It looked like he was grinning too.


This is just something that came to mind the other day and I instantly began writing it! Right now, I'm not even sure where it's going so for now it's just fun drabbles about Krypto and the Kent's (Supers included). There will be a growing story to it and I've a few ideas (it's going to be set in Vol.2 of Teen Titans before new 52). Okay...nevermind I guess I know where this is going X) But if you guys have any thoughts, throw them out there and by all means-

-Enjoy! R-R-F-F :)
