The sun had just began to set on our favorite angel dog Charlie Barkin. Charlies was sitting on a roof top watching the sun set on his own, he then heard a voice speak up behind him say.

"Charles,I need to tell you something" Spoke Annabelle, Archangel of Dog Heaven, a nice looking pink whippet with white hair.

Charlie then asked.

"What is it another mission, come on Annabelle not another one me and itch..."Annabelle then quickly cut him off.

"No Charlie!"

Charlie thought this was strange she had never called him by Charlie, she always called him Charles. He had always thought that it was too formal, for his tastes anyway.

"Annabelle what do you want to tell me?" Annabelle then said nothing,she threw herself onto him and kissed charlie with the passion of a dried lake bed finally receiving rain for the first time in forever. The kiss lasted for only a short while, but when the kiss ended Annabelle said the most shocking and surprising thing Charlie could imagine.

"Charlie,I love you" Her declaration was honest, and she blushed ever so slightly. Allowing herself to be open towards someone was ever so slightly embarrassing for her.

If Charlie's eyes weren't already wide enough this certainty made them go wider. He deep down had always had some small feelings for Annabelle. She was quite beautiful, and had a nice personality to match; sometimes she could be a bit too formal, but besides that she was perfect to him. He had never really dug into these feelings before, but that kiss had brought up many repressed feelings that he never knew he had. Then the next thing he said next was only natural and completely honest.

"Annabelle I love you too"

The two then reengaged into a passionate embrace and wrapped themselves around each other. Enjoying the love between them, little did they know a certain hell hound was spying on them.

(Watching from Hell on a screen was Belladonna)

"So my goody two paws cousin is having a love affair with one of her angels,how sweet. I'd hate to ruin their fun, oh wait no I wouldn't"

She picked up the remote to the VCR, and using her hellish powers recorded the whole make out session for the world to see. But first she would send it anonymously to a certain Judge in Heaven.

(Back to Charlie and Annabelle)

"Charlie,you know no one can know about us" said Annabelle putting emphases on us part.

"I know Annie dear, but we can keep it secret. We'll be okay" Charlie put his arm around her shoulder and then snuggled against each other.

(Up in Heaven the Judge was being woken for his sleep)

"Who is waking me at this hour?!" he asked one of his assistants.

"We don't know sir, all we know is that a package was dropped at the pearly gates and it had your name and urgent stamped on it".

The Judge grumbled, he could never get a good nights sleep.

The package was sitting on his coffee table, it was a normal brown package, nothing on it except the stamping.

"Well let's just get this over with" said the Judge as he reached for the package and with a claw sliced open the top and sides. He looked inside only to find a lone VHS tape, with no name on it.

"A VHS tape?" said the Judge

The Judge decided that it was best to watch it now and get it over with, but what he would see next would boil his blood so bad, he wouldn't get another wink of sleep.

Their on the tape was the sight of Archangel Annabelle in an impassioned embrace with one of her own angels, this was disgraceful in every sense of the word.

"Get them here, NOW!" At the sound of his thundering voice the assistants scrambled out of his home and to their office building. This was going to be a long night.

(The Next Day at the Heavenly Court)

They all sat nervously in the court room. Annabelle had been on earth with Charlie when she got a call to return to heaven with him. They knew this could go one of two ways, either no one found out and they were fine; or someone did find out and their gooses were cooked. The Judge entered and they all rose to their paws. After the Judge was seated they all took their seats as well.

Annabelle looked over to the other table, sat behind it was another angel dressed in a suit looking quite serious; she had a gut feeling this wouldn't be good. So looked over to Charlie and saw the nervous look on his face, it only made her nerves more strained.

The bailiff read off his usual lines.

"This court is now in session, Honorable Judge Chief is presiding". With that the small brown dog put on his reading specs and looked at the case file. He then looked up and straight at Annabelle and Charlie.

"This court is here to hear a case of the most serious matter. Annabelle,Archangel of all the dogs in heaven; you stand accused of being in a relationship with one of angels, which is quite a serious charge. Now usually this thing wouldn't matter so much if the angel you have gotten together with wasn't already in a committed relationship, which in the eyes of the lord is adultery and a sin, which makes this all the more serious".

Annabelle looked over at Charlie with a look of near pure hatred, well at least as close as she could get. She had known he had affections with Sasha, the Irish Setter. But she had been watching here and there just to check up and they certainly in her eyes didn't seem like an item of any sort. But maybe she was wrong, maybe he really was with her and just forgot to tell her. Which made her even more angry.

Charlie caught her look. He didn't like to see her angry, it just brought out unpleasant thoughts of all the times she struck him with lightning in order to quell him of any un-holy acts.

"Annie don't worry, me and Sasha broke up a few months ago; there's no way anybody's got anything on us".

"You better be right" came the bitter reply from Annabelle.

The Judge then pointed to the dog in the suit at the other table.

"Counselor, your opening statement please".

The dog got up and walked to the front of the court room.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to assert right now that this trial is not a smear campaign against any of the heavenly administration, this is simply a trial to make sure my client gets what is owed to her, thank you".

He the sat down, shooting Annabelle and Charlie a discrete smug look. To say Charlie hated him a little bit would be a huge understatement.

"Annabelle your opening statement" said the Judge.

Annabelle got up from her seat and proceeded to the front of the court room like the man before her.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like all to state how sorry I am to have this whole thing dragged into public. Over a simple misunderstanding, but I will not let my reputation be besmirched by this show pony lawyer, thank you"

This got a light chuckle from both the jury and spectators in the room;as well as a light grumble from the suited dog.

"Okay, here's the deal. Mr Smith's client is pressing adultery charges, claiming that when you two got together was still a relationship with his client" explained the Judge.

"May we ask who this mysterious client is?" asked Charlie

But before the Judge could answer him the suited dog answered him.

"No you may not know, that's attorney-client privilege, and my client wishes to remain anonymous".

Charlie got a frustrated looked on his face, he and Annabelle were being accused of something that wasn't even true and the bitch wouldn't even come forward and show her face; that's what really pissed Charlie off, that she was such a coward that she wouldn't come forward.

Annabelle could feel his frustration building, so she put her paw on his and he turned and looked at her. She had a look which told him to be calm, that all would be okay. So for her benefit he took a deep breath and calmed down.

"That's enough, now this isn't the main trial this is just a preliminary hearing in order to make sure everything is in order. Now we have a lot to get to".

Over the next couple hours they settle several matters including jury selection, whether or not Annabelle's heavenly powers and title were to be restrict; in the end they decided not to. Afterwards they were released and told that it would be a few weeks before the real trial would be on. But as they walked out Charlie couldn't help but feel irked; even though the "client" wouldn't show her face he knew who it was. It was the only female he had ever had a serious relationship with, well besides him and Annabelle right now.

"Annie honey, I think we need to take a little trip down to earth; I have something I need to check on".

Annabelle gave him a look with told him she was suspicious of what his intentions really were.

"What ever for Charlie?".

"Well I figure we could go and relax while we wait, maybe go on a proper first date and all; plus I need to check up on itchy, you know how much trouble he can get into" said Charlie.

Annabelle's eyes narrowed, she had figured him out.

"You think Sasha's the one behind this don't you" said Annabelle.

Charlie flinched, he was hoping to sneak that one by her; well she was the Archangel of all dogs so his chances were slim at best, but he had hoped the was good enough. It wasn't.

"I was kinda hoping you wouldn't notice, but yes I do think she is the one behind this; I mean besides you she's the only other female I've ever been in a serious relationship with" replied Charlie. Annabelle sighed.

"Okay Charlie, we can go down to earth and relax a bit; but you just don't go around accusing people of doing things they might have not, okay?" said Annabelle.

Charlie nodded his head, and with that Annabelle transported them down to earth.

Both of them knew it was going to be a difficult time for the both of them, but in the end they also both knew it would be worth it.

(A/N Hey guys, so yes I decided to come back to this story and rewrite the frankly awful chapter I did when I was young. So yes new and improved, that goes the same for the second chapter which I'll be completely re-writing. But in the mean time enjoy this newly refurbished chapter. Ta Ta For now, Mastfic)
