It was like any other day in Pupsville, the sun was shining, birds chirping, not a cloud in the sky, so, what could go wrong? Shadowjumper, a cute soot black cocker spaniel, with her favorite necklace around her neck, silver chain and rainbow colored gem in it, walks out of her small red house. She smiles up at the sky, her way of greeting the new day. "Always greet a new day with a fresh breath and a smile on your muzzle!" She exclaimed. Walking down the path and checking the mail. She gets her utility bill, and puts it away. "Ill pay it later when I get back." She shrugs it off. As personal friend to the mayor, he usually is lenient with her. "I know, ill go visit Wilbur, he's always fun to be with!"

She smiles, making her way to the local ranch, where there is a small space, and a single cow. Wilbur, the Shetland Sheepdog, is in charge of watching the cow. She walks over to him, yipping and smiling. He smiles and they rub noses, showing a sign of friendship. After about five minutes, she gets bored and walks away, whistling the 'Super Mario Bros.' theme. "Im getting hungry….Ill go see Le Palpa Rohme!" She walks into the restaurant, to see a shiba inu, the chef known as Palpa. "Hello, Mr. Rhome!...Ill have the usual, please." She lays down 4 bones, the currency of the place, called 'Woofs'. He smiles and sits me down at a table. I smile as I await patiently for my usual, a big bowl of vanilla pudding, home made!

I start greedily licking and nipping at the bowl, slurping it all up, when, in my greed, I tip the bowl over. I yip loudly, as my head get covered in pudding. "Oh no…I just had a bath too…my fur…its…its ruined…!...I…I need a hug…." She whines, and starts to cry over the warm pudding now seeping into her glossy fur. When out of nowhere, Xander, the beautiful gold colored cocker spaniel, wearing a Arabesque Scarf, walks over. He sees me crying and frowns, his blue eyes locking with my red one. Without a word, he gets up on his hind legs and licks me clean. She smiles and sniffles slightly, climbing down from the chair. Xander sits and they kiss, a long, deep one, about ten seconds long.

Then, a newcomer arrives, Cømmander Stárscréam, a gorgeous gray cocker spaniel, walks into town and rents the house next to hers. Just as she walks out of the restaurant, he sees her and watchs her from the distance, sighing softly to himself. They had crossed paths before, but she never knew how he really felt for me. Later, the mayor sends them, together, on a mission. To go to the lake, and collect fresh berries, fruit, and wildflowers, to get ready for the Star Carnival. All is well, as they ran, raced, and gathered together, he even saved her from a grizzly bear! As they left the lake, baskets full of what they reaped, something strange befalls them both.

"Shadowjumper…I love you…" Starscream said calmly, as they both walked home together. She looks slightly surprised, but smiles. "I love you too…and always have.." This maks him the happiest dog in Puppsvile, as he runs circiles around her, getting excited, yipping happily. His celebration was cut short though. "I don't feel so good, Star….my tummy hurts…" She complained, slightly whiny. When shes in pain, her voice gets whiney, but its not intentional. "Me too….I feel really sick…like…like im running a fever and my stomach is about to blow up…." He replies, in both pain and worry. "We need to get to the doctor!..." She exclaims, in a panic. But, after a few steps, they both fall over and pass out, whining from the pain. Luckily, the doctor saw them and brought them both in for major surgery to cure them of whatever virus was infecting their bodies.

The surgery, for both, took 7 hours…14 in total. As Cømmander Stárscréam awoke from his place on the cot, the doctor, Dr. Potan, a beagle with a diagnostic mirror on his forehead and glasses, is by his side. "My apologies, sir…im…im sorry…." He motions to Shadowjumpers dead body, lying on the cot next to him. "You were able to survive the virus cause you had a strong immune system…..Shadowjumper did not possess that…and…in the middle of surgery…she just…stopped breathing…im sorry…" Without another word, the doctor leaves, leaving Starscream to cry his little red eyes out, to the point where his eyes were blood shot and dark circles formed under them. He stays the night there, unable to leave her behind. His eyes never left her body, as he drifted off to sleep, lonelier than he has ever felt.

The next morning was the burial, the service was short, tears shed with regret, it seemed that Starscream, was the one most upset. They lower her down, Starscream was the one to carry the body, but he couldent watch them lower her into the ground, nor could he watch them fill the hole. The tombstone read: 'Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn's rain.'

They all cried together over the loss of their friend. But, the pain was too much for Starscream breaks down and walks to his home that night, when everyone has gone to sleep, grabbing a revolver he kept under his pillow, as a safety precaution against burglars, and puts the barrel in his mouth, his paw on the trigger….
