Author's Note: Hello dear readers. This is my first fanfiction based on the Pound Puppies. I DO NOT OWN any of the Pound Puppies characters. They belong to their righful owner(s). The rest, which are ocs, belong to me.
"Hey, boss, you sure about this?" a small australian terrier with long black fur said as he followed a medium-sized rottweiler through a deserted street.
The rottweiler sighed and turned to the small dog. He had short black fur with a brown underbelly and light brown at his paws.
"Fred, if you don't feel comfortable about this, why'd you come?" he asked.
"Because I need to gather as much information as I can." Fred, the australian terrier, answered his boss and took a look around the street. "The only thing that bothers me is: why didn't you bring the entire gang? What if we need them? I don't trust this place and especially not it's residents."
The rottweiler rolled his eyes with a smile on his face. "They've already been given an assignment. As for us, we are more fit into this mission." He turned and continued walking down the same path they were headed.
"Alright, but if something happens to us, I'll have every right to blame you for eternity." Fred followed his boss.
"Trust me. We'll be fine. The last thing we need is a puppy to ruin our plans." The bigger dog chuckled with full confidence.
Meanwhile...
"Rebound!" Agatha called her fun-loving puppy from the door. She was wearing a small pink purse on her left arm and a large yellow hat with a white flower tied to one side on her head.
Small barks were heard as Rebound came running to her owner and jumped to her arms. As soon as Agatha catched her, the cute little puppy started licking her face causing the old lady to laugh.
"Rebound..." She said between chuckles. "Time to go shopping. We can buy you a cute little hat for the sun. It's really sunny out there." She placed Rebound on the floor and opened the door. Rebound barked out of excitement and headed outside with Agatha following and closing the door.
They arrived to their destination and walked into a store where Agatha bought Rebound a new squeaky toy shaped like a bone that is color blue, a small yellow hat with a white flower on one side just like her own, and a red ribbon that she used to make a bow around Rebounds neck. The young puppy barked with happiness. They continued their shopping spree throughout various stores. Then they came across a store they haven't seen before and decided to check it out.
"Right here Rebound." Agatha opened the door of the store for her puppy. Rebound walked right in and then Agatha.
Next to the store, outside was a medium-sized beagle hiding in the bushes. He wore a red and small scarf tied around his neck. His black, brown, and white fur was filled with dirt. He looked at the people walking through the sidewalks with their pets.
"Pfft!..." The dog exclaimed, "Look at all those hoity-toity civilized dog bags, walking down the street with their so-called 'owners'. Blech!" For a moment it seemed as if he was talking to himself but then turned back to someone else. "What do you think, Silky?"
A dachshund poked his head out of a garbage can and jumped down from it landing on his short feet. The dirt made his fur black while the spots that werent covered were brown. He wore a pirate-like eyepatch on his left eye.
"What do I think?" He said in an irritated voice. "Stop looking at humans and their pets, we need to keep a look out for 'him'."
"I know, I know..." The beagle rolled eyes and turned back to the streets looking at everyone.
Inside the store, Agatha was checking out perfume and Rebound stood next to her on the floor when a lady arrived.
"Excuese me, ma'am." The lady called Agatha who turned to look at the lady. "Is this your dog?" The woman pointed down at Rebound.
"She sure is. Her name is Rebound. A precious little thing." Agatha picked up Rebound and held her in her arms.
"Thats really nice ma'am." The lady said in a nice way. "But dogs aren't allowed in this store."
"Oh.." Agatha exclaimed and Rebound lowered her ears.
"Im sorry ma'am. Your dog can't be inside the store."
"I understand, we'll be heading back and I'll come to this store next time by myself. Because today, Im spending time with my Rebound." She lifted the puppy up to her face and Rebound responded with licking her face.
Outside the store, Silky, the dachshund, and Buster, the beagle, looked hard into the crowd. Silky growled and hid in the shadows. "Guess he didn't show up today."
"Yeah. You think he heard about our plan and-"
"Shush!" Silky reached for the beagle with its long body and covered its mouth with both paws. "He's right there." The dachshund whispered and looked to his right. They both looked at a medium-sized golden retriever. "Let's teach him a lesson now." Silky said and both sneaked closer to the dog in a slow pace but kept hidden from the dogs view. The golden retriever couldnt notice them for he was busy looking at his owner buying some kibble.
"Well, Rebound." Agatha walked out the stores door and placed Rebound on the ground. "We heard the lady. No dogs allowed. That was a pretty good store though."
Rebound barked in agreement. Agatha thought for a second and placed a leash on Rebound's collar and tied her to the pole. "Be right back." Agatha headed back to the store.
"Oh well, atleast I get to see what a nice view this is. Pets and their owners together. I can say that the Pound Puppies have done a great job." Rebound smiled as she looked at everyone past by. She was caught in her own thoughts that she didnt notice the man in the roof of another store painting with a bucket full of blue paint that was left dangling over the edge.
Rebound then smelled something delicious. She tried to follow the scent but only got as to far where her leash could reach, unaware that she was standing below the same store that had the bucket of paint. A soft breeze blew past softly and the smell of cinnamon bread made fresh out of the oven filled her nostrils. She started slobbering at the convincing scent coming from the store. However, the small wind was enough to drop the bucket that was dangling on the edge and fall down where it landed on top of Rebounds head and surprised the young pup.
"Hey, who turned off the lights?" Rebound asked and tried to pull off the bucket. She started barking and kicked the bucket off with her back legs but also got her collar off and the force of it caused her to roll down the sidewalk. She was heading towards the beagle and dachshund who were already close enough to the golden retriever.
"Ready?" Silky asked his partner with a grin.
"Ready as ever!" Buster answered. They both where getting ready to pounce at the retriever, unaware of the small grey sheepdog rolling down towards them.
"Now!" Silky said.
"Whoaaa!" Rebound exclaimed as she started to slow but bumped into the dachshund who barely made a jump towards the retriever and sent him down with her. Both Rebound and Silky exclaimed in fear as they rolled down the sidewalk and past a street where both crashed into a stack of tomatoes. Shocked by the sudden crash, the few people around the tomato stack scattered off running.
Rebound lifted her head up and was covered by blue paint and tomato sauce. "Wha- What just happened?" She asked a bit dizzy.
"'What just happened?!'" The dachshund poked his head out covered with tomato sauce as well. "You ruined our mission! You dumb little-!"
"Silky!" The beagle called as he came running to his friends aid. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah." Silky answered but turned to Rebound with an angry glare. "For now. Imagine what the boss will do to us after he found out we failed!" His words were directed at his friend Buster but he kept his entire glare on Rebound.
"Come on. We can still-" Buster tried but got interrupted.
"Buster and Silky." The same golden retriever walked to them. "What a pleasent surprise. Thinking you can sneak up on me, huh? This must've been Colton's plan. To ambush me even when I'm with my human."
Rebound looked as confused as ever but kept quiet.
"Goldy!" A human called to the retriever.
"I'll take care of you later." The golden retriever said and ran back to his human.
"Youre right. The boss is gonna be sooo mad." Buster whined and sat down.
"Yeah... And it's all your fault!" Silky barked at Rebound.
"No it wasn't." She tucked her ears out of fear.
"If it wasn't for you, we would've handled that guy! Who do you think you are interrupting our mission like that, huh?!" The dachshund continued to yell at Rebound. "The boss will be mad and it's all thanks to you!"
"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. I promise." Rebound said as she was already trembling in fear.
"Silky, calm down. The pup already apologized and better yet, she owes us." Buster said trying to convince his friend to accept Rebounds offer.
"I suppose." The dachshund thought about it.
"What's your name, kid?" Buster asked in a nice way with a smile, which made Rebound feel safe.
"Im Rebound" She smiled and got off from the stack of smashed tomatoes and looked at the beagle.
"Say Rebound, you really made us fail at our mission..."
"I know. I promise I'll pay you back." She said with innocent eyes that said she wasn't lying.
"Its okay, kid. I accept the offer unlike Grumpy-Puss here." He gestured to the dachshund who only scoffed and looked away. "Are you a stray?"
"No. I'm a pet. I belong to someone." Rebound smiled even more. She began talking in her usual form of communicating. "My owners name is Agatha. She is a really nice lady. Me and her are so close!-"
"Yeah, yeah! Whatever." The beagle interrupted for he didn't want to hear about the relationship of humans and dogs. "Bottomline is... you owe us, big time."
"Yeah..." Rebound seemed unsure now. "I do."
"Good. See us at the junkard by the Springsville Alley tomorrow night. No excuses. We'll see you there." The beagle winked and started leaving along with his friend.
"But, I don't know..." She tried but the dogs just left.
"Oh! Rebound." Agatha arrived and picked up her puppy covered in paint and tomato. "How did you get all the way over here? Oh. You need a bath. And I know just the place." She took Rebound back to the car and both headed off.
"What was that about?" Slinky asked, really annoyed.
"Trust me, Slinks. The boss is gonna love this." He answered and both continued walking along the sidewalks of the city.
