Chapter 1 (Revised after getting a Review from Luna. She knows how she is.)

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

This room was straight white, only to show the hues of the rising sun, through the cracks of white curtains, to the white walls, and white chairs. To be accompanied by the sounds of a metronome keeping a steady heartbeat, to play in tune with orchestra of machines whisting breath to one who could not breath, and rushing liquids to the one who already bleed. But it was left to the maestro of such a heartbreaking symphony, it was all up to him should he play the bitter melody of life or the ever so sweet melody of death.

God, I'm sorry... this... this... is all my fault. I... never meant... I don't know if. Forgiveness... no... I don't deserve it... I'm... I'm... so... sorry.

"DAMN IT!"


"OW! Why did you pounce on me?" Chase the beautiful German shepherd, with eyes as amber as his fur, was lying on the ground. He turned his head to a Dalmatian, with a red ball stuck in his mouth contrasting his sky blue eyes.

Seasons were changing from beautiful petals in the wind, to heavy rains, and humid heat. It was the end of June and the beginning of July. Adventure Bay was getting people to come in from the left and right, to come for the fourth of July firework show that they were hosting.

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to look out." Marshall the dalmatian, gazed at the German shepherd staggering to get up, from the ditched that they were pushed in, near the lookout surrounded by a thick forest.

"Well I was asleep. So-"Chase showing a pain in his face, to be accompanied by annoyance

"You were asleep, in the middle of the afternoon? When it's bright and sunny?"

"Yeah."

"What were you doing last night than?" Chase started to blush as he recalled the events from last night. "So it's your fault." A grin showed on Marshall.

"No! You should have known, and saw me." Marshall just shrugged it off. "But anyway what were you doing before you so rudely crashed into me?"

"Well, me, and Skye, and Zuma, and Rocky, and Rubble where playing a game of catch with Ryder. Why, you wanna join?" The face of the Dalmatian changed to inquisitive grin, only to receive a sigh from the German Shepherd.

"Skye is playing with you guys?" Chase had a slight grin on his face.

"Yeah. what are you going to try to ask her out?" Marshall just threw on a smile.

Everybody knew that Chase had a thing for Skye, no question about. Ask a person in foreign country if they knew the TV show "Apollo" they might say no, but about Chase liking Skye. Oh yeah, you bet they knew it. Marshall, of course knew it first before anyone else ever did. It should have to be like that, considering they were best friends since they were pups doing, and sharing almost any and everything together.

"Maybe." Chase said

"Well you better make a move pretty soon." Showing a bit of concern, Chase could only blush.

"Yeah, I know. I'm trying" Chase said

"Hey Marshall you got the ball yet?" The two pups looked to a little Cockapoo standing up over the ditch, overlooking the two.

"Yeah, we're coming Skye." Chase took the ball, walking up the hill to Skye, as she walked off. Chase turned to Marshall and gave him a raised eyebrow, only to be received by a smile from the Dalmatian, before following lady of his dreams.

Alone, Marshall was. Only to be accompanied by the scattered light through the tree tops, with his thoughts being each one of those little lights.

"Hey Marshall, you coming?" Marshall looked back up top of the hill to see Chase staring down at him, with a smile on his face.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry I'm coming up. I was just thinking."

"What were you thinking about?" Marshall walked up next to Chase, crouching down, for a running start.

"Nothing important. Let's race."

"Fine, but when you get beaten you have to tell me what you were thinking about." getting down in position next to Marshall

"If you beat me, but if I beat you, you have to tell me what you were doing last night." They looked at each other eagerly. "Agreed."

"Okay. You count us down Chase."

"Ready... Set... GO!"
