Wally entered the shelter with a smile on his face. It was 6 A.M. on Christmas, Artemis usually wakes up at 7, so he definitelyhas time.
He waved to the woman at the counter, she was old, and half asleep. He wondered why she was even working on Christmas, but didnt ask.
He looked at the puppies, some were interested in him and others were nervous. Most barked, and some stayed silent.
He wished he could rescue them all, but that would have to wait for another day. He stopped and looked at one small pitbull puppy. He stayed in the end of the cage, his ears down and eyes beady.
Wally put his hand out, and the puppy looked up at him and they just stared at each other for a moment. The pitbull slowly limped up to him and sniffed the redheads hand.
The dog started licking it, his little tail wagging. Wally smiled and knew that this was the dog that he was rescuing.
What seemed like hours of paperwork later, the pitbull was officially his. He's never driven so fast in his life, the only thing that stopped him from superspeeding was the poor puppy, he didnt know how he would react to it all.
He got back at 6:55. In the 5 minutes he had Wally downed a bag of chips and put the puppy in a basket, the pitbull sat down on the blanket and looked at the redhead with confusion covering his face.
Artemis suddenly walked out of their room, running a brush through her now straight hair. "Hey babe, why are you up so early?" she questioned him, and he sped up to her, landing a kiss on her lips. "Merry Christmas." she smiled and opened her mouth to speak, until she heard a small snore.
She raised an eyebrow and moved her head and looked under the tree. "Is that a-" she was in pure shock. Artemis looked over to her favorite redhead, he was smiling ear-to-ear, like her.
She had a hand over her mouth, and tackled him into a hug. The blonde looked down as she felt something pull at her to see the puppy tugging at her sweatpants.
She crouched down and picked the pitbull up, giving him a kiss on the head. "Brucely." was all she said, and Wally breathed out a laugh.
"Brucely it is."
Sorry its short! Merry Christmas guys!
