Author's note...This is just a little story of my dog and King Caspian the Seafarer. More movie verse than anything.


A Dog, A King, and Some Chickens


A medium sized dog suddenly burst out from a room on board the Dawn Treader. She had orange-brown colored fur, a brown snout, pink nose, and brown floppy ears.

"CHICKEN NUGGETS!" she cried, running toward the hen coop. She barked and ran as her black speckled tongue hung out to on side of her mouth. "Whoa, whoa, whoa," she yelped, skidding along the polished wood boards. She collided in with a human and knocked him to the ground with a thud.

"Oof," the man gasped, as the dog landed on him. The dog realized who he was by his Spanish accent.

"Sorry, Your Majesty," she said, getting off of him. The man stood up.

"It's fine," he said. The dog bent down as if to stretch her back and stayed their. "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I am bowing." The young King laughed.

"Get up," he laughed, "You don't need to do so."

"But, King Caspian," she protested.

"Tell me your name, Furry."

"Reeses."

"Reeses? What a strange name."

"Look, I'm not from your world and that is my sister-er-mistress's favorite candy."

"Candy, like you mean how King Edmund likes Turkish Delight?" asked Caspian.

"I heard that!" called Edmund. Caspian snickered.

"Any way," said Reeses, "Can I have a chicken nugget now?"

"You mean one of the hens?"

"Yeah, sure."

"No."

"But I'm hungry."

"No, we need them," said Caspian, bending down to the dog's eye level. She licked his nose. "Eew," he spluttered.

"Sorry," she said, giving him a good sniff, "You are what my mistress says you are."

"And what does your mistress say I am?" asked Caspian with a laugh.

"She says you're hot." Caspian burst out laughing.

"And who is your mistress."

"You wouldn't know her."

"I'll take your word on it."

"But you'd like her."

"I'll take your word on it." A young teenage girl wandered around the deck and ran over to the dog.

"REESES!" she squealed, hugging the dog.

"No touchy, no touchy, no touchy," the dog puffed.

"Sorry. Oh, uh… wait, IT'S CASPIAN!" Caspian looked at her.

"It seems that this is your mistress who thinks I am hot." The girl turned red.

"You told him that?"

"Yep. Did you bring a treat?"

"Yes," she sighed, digging into her pocket. Reeses jumped up and snatched it from the girl's hand.

"Yum," the dog sighed. Caspian touched the girl's hand.

"Why don't you tell me about everything and about Reeses."

"The dog?"

"The candy."

"Ooh, um," said the girl following him, "It is made up of peanut butter and chocolate." Reeses watched as her mistress followed Caspian under the deck.

"Wow, now, hello chicky nuggies," she said, putting her nose against the wire, "Which one of you should I chase first?"
