Ch 4 Betrayal
It was morning and Oliver work up feeling very happy and pleases with himself. He felt a lot better after that talk with Georgette, and felt they both made up the fight.
Georgette woke from her room feeling better as well. She was glad Oliver was here and gave her another chance, she now realize that Oliver wasn't a bad kitty after all, she felt some changes were going to be made between her and Oliver. They were now going to act like a family to each other and try to get to know one another as well. She was just almost done getting all clean, when she heard a knock.
Georgette: Come in!
The door open reveling Oliver, he smiled and he gave Georgette a hug, Georgette smiled and hugged back.
Oliver: Morning Georgette.
Georgette: Morning kid, sleep well?
Oliver: I slept a lot better after what happen today.
Georgette: I did too, thanks for coming and talking to me, I really needed it.
Oliver: Hey, what are brother and sisters for right?
Georgette smiled brightly at that.
Georgette: You're right, and that's the first thing that's going to be changed, for now on we're going to try and get along, so if you have any problems come to me, and I'll try and help you.
Oliver: I promise as long as you do the same.
Georgette: I'm not so sure.
Oliver gave her a consider look, when she play with his fur and chuckle.
Georgette: I'm just kidding, of course I promise.
They hugged, when they heard a dog barking at front of her balcony. Oliver was worried; Georgette pushed him back a bit.
Georgette: Stay here kid I'm going to go check.
Oliver stayed while Georgette went out to investigate, she looked around when she heard someone called her name.
Dog: Georgette, down here!
She looked down and saw a face she hadn't seen in two months.
Georgette: Rita; is that you?
Rita: It can, and it is, it's been a while, but you still look like the same-old you from the last time we met.
Georgette was a bit in different in Oliver's friends, although she don't hate them, she doesn't really considers them friends, but for some reason she still accepts them enough.
Georgette: Look not to sound rude, but what you doing here, aren't you suppose to be with your friends?
Rita smile, she didn't care too much for attitude, but as a dog that was willing to give anyone a chance.
Rita: Oliver told me about you and the fight you two had, I told him I can come over and talk to you for a bit, because he was scared on making you mad, can I come in?
Georgette looked at her with a confuse face, then she turned and looked at Oliver, although she didn't care for his friends that much, she wouldn't mind having another girl to talk to, Oliver still didn't know who it was, Georgette smiled at him then turned back to Rita.
Georgette: Sure just come to the front door, and Jenny or Winston should be able to let you in.
Rita went around to the front, as Georgette turned and looked at Oliver, Oliver was still confused.
Georgette: Seems you forgot to tell me that you were going to bring a visitor over.
Oliver looked a bit worried.
Oliver: Oh was that Rita, I'm sorry, I just didn't know how to explain myself to you, cause I didn't want you to still be mad, so I thought Rita would come to help out.
Oliver was expecting her to be mad, but she just sighed.
Georgette: It's fine, honestly I rather it be her then the others.
Rita scratch on the door, and Jenny opened in and found her.
Jenny: Rita! What are you doing here?!
Rita jumped up to her and licked her face.
Jenny: Nice to see you too, are you here to see Oliver?
Rita barked.
Jenny: Okay come on in, I'll call Mr. Fagin and let him know you're here.
Rita went in and went to Georgette's room. Oliver ran up to her and hugged her, Rita chuckled a bit, with made Georgette smiled a bit too.
Georgette: Still looked the same as ever sense the last time we met.
Rita: Same here how's it been with you?
Georgette: Going fine, I should let you know that me and Oliver has made up our fight, and now we're brothers and sisters.
Rita smiled at that.
Rita: That's great news I'm very happy to here, though I think Dodger might get a bit jealous now that he knows Oliver's got a new sister.
They all chuckled at that.
Georgette: Speaking of Dodger, how is he and rest of your friends doing?
Rita: We're all doing fine, Dodgers the same; he's leader and street wise too. Einstein okay, thought he's starting to become too old to move or work properly, so we try our best to take care of him. Francis and Tito still fight, and it's either me or Dodger that as to break up the fight.
Georgette: So you guys are just the same as ever?
Rita: Very much. Well it's great that you've two had made up; I guess you don't need me then.
Oliver: Rita wait!
Rita stopped and turned to Oliver.
Rita: Yes, what is it?
Oliver: Georgette was going to tell me the second part to her story, do you want to here? I mean you didn't come here for nothing.
Rita: Oh, I don't think that's a good idea, I mean, I don't want to but in or anything.
Georgette did remember the promise she made to Oliver, but now she wasn't sure about Rita though, I mean she's nice and is a wise dog, but she didn't fully trust her yet, but she did come here to try and help her out.
Georgette: Actually I don't mind telling you the story, the kid right; you didn't come here for nothing you can stay if you want.
Rita thought for a moment, she wanted to leave, but she could tell that Georgette as changed sense she last met her.
Rita: Okay I'll stay; beside I don't think Oliver giving me any choice.
Georgette: Okay, before we start I want to show you something.
Georgette went to grab a picture frame and showed it to Rita.
Georgette: Rita; do you remember this?
Rita looked and saw a picture of a dog with a green bowtie.
Rita: Yeah, I remember; that's the one I asked you about, but you said it was none of my business.
Georgette: Well, now it is you're business, because he used to be my boyfriend.
Oliver and Rita looked at her with wide eyes, while Georgette looked angry.
Georgette: Before I start, I want you both to promise me that you don't tell this to anyone else.
Rita and Oliver looked with wide eyes again.
Georgette: I mean it, I don't want you telling this to your friends, if they want to know I'll tell them, promise?
Rita though for a moment, but she could tell she looked dead serious.
Rita: Promise.
Oliver looked at her before he said the same thing, and Georgette began her story.
Georgette sighed.
Georgette: It all started when I moved to New York City and I came to live here with the Foxworths'. I was around 2 years after I moved I was still nervous and didn't know what to expect. When I enter my new home my first thoughts was this looks nice it remind me a bit of my old home so I was okay at first, then they gave me a bath and they took good care of me, my nervous was gone for the most part, but I still didn't know what to expect.
Flashback
Mr. Foxworth: And this is where you'll stay, it's not much, but it'll have to do till we make you your own room.
Georgette looked around and found out that she'll be sleeping in the parent's room.
Mr. Foxworth: Do you like it?
She turned back and try to smile, but she was still not use to this yet. Mr. Foxworth notice and spoke kindly to her.
Mr. Foxworth: Hey, I know this is still new to you, and you probably miss your family don't you?
Georgette wimped a bit in agreement, Mr. Foxworth continued to speak kindly to her.
Mr. Foxworth: I know it's hard, most people don't like being separated by their love ones, but it's a part of growing up and it's a start of a new chapter for them. It might be good, or it might be bad it just how they live with it and yours is going to be good I can tell you that.
Georgette looked up and smiled a bit.
Mr. Foxworth: We have a daughter named Jenny who should be back from school soon, I'm sure you two will get along great. Come on, give me a paw.
Georgette looked at him.
Georgette (Thinking): He seems like a nice man, he reminds me of my father; maybe this won't so scary after all.
She leant out a paw and they shook.
Mr. Foxworth: Good girl, I think you'll like it here.
Just then they heard a sound of a vehicle and Georgette look out the window and saw a yellow school bus, Mr. Foxworth smiled.
Mr. Foxworth: Jenny's home, come on let's go meet her.
Georgette followed Mr. Foxworth.
Jenny: Mom, dad, I'm home.
Mrs. Foxworth: Hello dear, how was school?
Jenny: It was great; I got an A at spelling!
Mrs. Foxworth: That's wonderful honey.
Mr. Foxworth: Hey princess!
Jenny: Hi Dad!
Mr. Foxworth: Guess what; I got a surprise for you.
Jenny: What is it?
Just then she saw something on top of a stairs and smiled brightly. Georgette looked at her, and was about to go back, but decided to come down anyway. She looked at the girl and started to sniff her; Jenny giggle and smiled while she did, forcing Georgette to smile herself and lick the girl. Her parents smile.
Mrs. Foxworth: I think she likes you.
Jenny: Mom, dad, she wonderful are we goanna keep her?
Mr. Foxworth: Yes dear we are she's part of the family now.
Georgette barked happily at that.
Jenny: Does she have a name?
Mr. Foxworth: Her original name is Georgette, but we can call her something else if you like.
Georgette looked nervous she didn't want another name.
Jenny: Actually I like that name, let's keep it.
Georgette barked and jumped and lick Jenny's face some more, when she notice a magazine she was holding and grab it.
Jenny: What's wrong?
Mrs. Foxworth: What have you got there dear?
Jenny: It's a magazine, my friend let me borrow it for a day, but what are you looking at Georgette?
Georgette saw an advertisement for a dog show coming in 2 weeks, and barked happily. Mr. Foxworth looked at it and then looked at Georgette and smiled.
Mr. Foxworth: She looking at this, she wants to be in a dog show.
Georgette jumped up and down and kept barking.
Mrs. Foxworth: Well this is all so sudden, I mean we haven't trained her yet, and she just got here.
Mr. Foxworth: Well its two weeks, we have enough time to train her until then, and she really wants to do it.
Georgette looked at them with pleading eyes, till Mrs. Foxworth gave in.
Mrs. Foxworth: Okay, call the number and have her sign up dear.
Georgette barked happily, causing Jenny to smile.
So for the past two weeks Georgette trained herself to get ready for the dog show. Her new owners try to teach her some tricks, sometimes she do them, other times she try the tricks she already knew and improve them some more. During the time she was still getting use to her new house, and her new owners did everything they could to make her happy, although she was still not use to them yet, she was slowly starting to like them.
At last the day came when she was getting ready for the dog show. She was in her dressing room and Jenny was there to give her a brush and some grooming.
Jenny: This is it Georgette your big day on competing in a dog show.
Georgette looked herself in the mirror feeling happy and proud of herself, but then she felt nervous as this was her first time where her family couldn't see her in the dog show, she felt rather lonely. Jenny petted her softly.
Jenny: Hey everything will be alright, just to your best. I'm so you'll do fine; you've practicing a lot to get yourself ready for the big event.
Georgette looked up to her then she though on what her mother would say, she smiled and walked to her place at the dog show.
Georgette gave it her all; she did every trick that she knew to help her with the obstacle course, she was tried at the end, but felt strong and proud. The show was over and they were ready to announce the winner.
Announcer: And the winner of this year dog show is… Georgette Foxworth!
Georgette couldn't believe her ears when she heard the news, then she saw her new owners cheering and clapping for her. The won a blue ribbon, some flowers, and she got her picture taken. She felt so proud that she almost cried.
Georgette (Thinking): Thanks mom, thanks dad.
At home the Foxworths gave her a stake as a reward for her hard work and as time went on, whenever a new dog show would come up she would enter it, trained herself to get ready, and every chance she would win 1st place, so much so, that the Foxworths made a new room all for Georgette where she can keep the blue ribbons she's won, and a mirror for herself, and because she and the Foxworth were growing famous, they didn't have enough time to spend with Jenny or Georgette. They felt real bad about this, so they hired a butler name Winston to keep them busy and to check on them every day.
Georgette felt like the happiest poodle on earth. She has lots of fun at the dog show, and every time she would look at her ribbons she would wonder what her mother would say, although she liked being famous, she was still glad to do that a lot people was caring for her, boy did she learn that the hard way, when he came.
Later in the afternoon, Jenny and Winston was taking Georgette for a walk in the park. They stopped by the bench and Winston sat for a bit, while Jenny played fetch with Georgette. She threw the stick a little far, and as ran to get it, she accidently bumped into a dog.
Dog: Hey, watch it!
Georgette looked a bit nervous.
Georgette: I'm sorry, I…I… d…di…didn't see you.
The dog turn around and notice her, then she mood change.
Dog: Oh, hey I'm sorry for snapping at you, I didn't know you were this pretty.
Georgette blushed a bit when she her that.
Georgette: I'm a really that pretty?
Dog: I'll say you're a beautiful poodle that's for sure.
Georgette: Um, thank you, that's, that's really sweet.
She looked into him, she something was beating in her chest.
Dog: Excuse me, but do you have a name?
Georgette: Georgette.
Dog: Georgette? Wait a minute, the same Georgette that won three blue ribbons at the dog shows?
Georgette: That's me.
Dog looked at her in amazement.
Dog: Wow, it's an honor to meet you.
Georgette: Thanks, what's your name?
Frank: You can call me Frank.
Georgette: Doesn't sound romantic, but it's a nice name.
Frank: Thanks, hey when's your next dog show?
Georgette: Well I don't know yet, but my owners said it should be here soon.
Frank: Well if you're not busy why don't you come down here and we can practices together.
Georgette: You mean like a date?
Frank: Well not really, but it can be if you want.
Georgette blush a bit some more, she felt the thump getting louder.
Georgette: Okay I'll see you tomorrow then?
Frank: Sure, same time?
Georgette: Of course.
Jenny: Georgette it's time to go!
Georgette: That's my owner I'll see you later.
Frank: Bye.
After their first meet, they spent most of their time at the park getting her ready for the dog show. He ran with her, played some games with her, and even taught her some tricks that he knows. During those days, they loved each other more and more, and every night Georgette would keep thinking about him, it seems he was just right for her. She one two dog shows thanks to his help, everything was going well, until that day, when it happened.
It was another day for Georgette to do some training to get ready for the next dog show, she was racing some laps around the park, and Frank was there timing her.
Frank: 14mins
Georgette: What?! I minute over my last record, this is getting stupid now!
Frank: Well it's not that bad; maybe you're just having a bad day or something.
Georgette: But I'm fine, are you sure it's not just my paws or something, maybe I sprang them.
Frank: Georgette, calm down you're doing just fine do want to stop early and just the two of us walk?
Georgette: Sure.
They went on their walk, then two weeks later the dog show came and Georgette was really nervous about it. Jenny went to get her some water, when Frank entered her room.
Frank: Hey are you feeling okay?
Georgette: I don't know, I'm ready, but I've never been more nervous before in my life.
Frank: Hey, clam down I'm sure you'll do fine, just do you best, you've trained enough times and you might win it, and I know you will.
Georgette looked at him, he then kissed her on the cheek and she felt great care in him, she was now feeling better than ever.
The dog show just started and Georgette was the first to go, she did the obstacle course fine, though she made a few mistakes, at the end she ended up in 3rd place, which she felt a bit bad. When she came back to her dressing room, Jenny and her parents were there to comfort her.
Mr. Foxworth: Aw come on Georgette; don't beat yourself hard, you still did well out there.
Jenny: Yeah, and you still get some dog bones, and $50,000 for us, isn't that great?
She didn't respond, she just looked at them, then she heard Frank coming in, and she went out the door leaving the family to follow her.
Frank: What was that over there?
Georgette: Look I did my best okay, I was just thinking too hard.
Frank: Your best wasn't good enough!
Georgette: What more do you want from me?! I did want I could do!
Frank: Well if that's the way you feel then consider this relationship over.
Georgette: Fine!
And with that they both left, and that day Georgette felt really worst.
A/N: Yeah I admit that the ending is not the best, it was more on that I didn't know how to end this chapter, but I promise that the final chapter will be a bit better.
