A Dog Name Bullet Chapter 4

Fido took a step forward and addressed the little kitty. She got a bit nervous around the unknown dog, but a pet from Bullet calmed her down and she looked at Fido. Fido waited until she was calm enough and then started: "Alright, I think I will start with the introduction. I'm Officer Fido Byron. I'm a Police Dog."

Star looked at him with the eyes of a child looking at some kind of hero. Fido blushed at this and took a step back to let the other continue with the introduction.

Sabrina came next. She actually came a bit closer to the little Kitten and lowered her head so they were eye to eye. Star was still nervous and looked to Bullet who smiled at her and nodded. Star took a breath and let it out to calm her nerves. Then she looked at Sabrina and gave her a nervous smile back. Sabrina giggled at the cute scene and petted her head slowly to not spook her. Then she said: "Hello, sweetie. My name is Sabrina D'Angelo and I'm also a good friend of Fido. I hope to see you more often so we can play sometime."

Star purred at her petting and nodded. Sabrina let go and got back to Fido's side. Now it was Fox's turn to introduce himself. He took a step forward like Fido and said with a smile: "My name is Fox Lindberg and I wish to officially welcome you to Babylon Gardens. Though the circumstances could be better, I hope you will have a great time here."

Bullet looked over them and smiled as he introduced himself: "My name is Bullet. I'm visiting a few friends in Babylon Gardens." then he petted the head of little Star and continued: "And this is Star. She lived in the old house that... was..." He didn't continued the sentence, but they all know what he meant.

Fox could feel the tension in the air and decided to ask a something: "Say, Bullet... I was wondering where are your mom and dad?"

"Good question. I actually thought they would be here by now." said Fido.

Bullet blinked in confusion at the question but then remembered the pets here call their owners mom and dad. He looked a bit nervous as he scratched the back of his head and thought of an answer.

"Should I tell them? But what are they going to do when they hear I'm a 'feral' animal?" While Bullet was discussing this with himself, Star looked between the group of Pets and Bullet with a confused look.

"Well... you see, the thing is..." I started but then two humans rushing into the room and came right to my side. One was a women with beige hair, light green tank-top and beige jeans. The other one was a man with blond hair, blue shirt and light brown pants. Both look like they are in their mid twenties.

"Bullet!" the women yelled as she was now hugging me from the side while I sat a bit dumbfounded at the situation. The man placed a hand on my shoulder and said: "We were worried after we got the message of what happened to you, ma boy."

The women nuzzled my cheek and whispered in my ear: "Just play along. We explain later." Then she continued with her normal voice: "We were so worried as you didn't come home last night."

I was still perplexed by what was going on, but decided to play along... for now. "Don't worry... 'mom' I'm alright." I said a bit hesitantly.

They turned to the other pets who stood in the room and watched what looked like a happily family reunion with different reactions. Fido and Fox smiled at the happy display, but Sabrina had an troubled look as she watched 'mom' hugging me.

"Um... could you give us a moment with our son?" asked 'dad' and the others left the room. As Star was about to leave as well, I held her back and placed her on my lap as I sat up a bit more and scratched behind her ear, which she always loved.

As they were out I stared at my 'parents' and asked: "Does Kitsune sent you two?" The man crossed his arms and looked now less happy as before. He fake smiled and said to the women: "Doesn't we have a smart pet?" The women still smiled friendly, sat on my bed and petted my head.

"Sorry this happens so suddenly, but we couldn't come sooner or we would have torn the fabric of time and space in this dimension." Explained the women as she shoot an angry glare at the man who just shrugged it off.

I looked at her and asked with and raised eyebrow: "And since when does you guys care about this kind of stuff? I mean, this is your way of traveling."

The women sighed and stopped patting me as she started to explain the situation: "To answer your first question: Yes. Kitsune asked us to take care of you. He thinks it would be a good lesson for us to learn about responsibility."

The man took over and said: "And for your second question, we care about the time and space fabric because we are now part of this time and space. So, destroying it would be... not so good for us as well."

"Sure..." I said, not really believing them.

Them women then explained further: "To explain why we are here, we both lost a game and have to live in this realm for a certain amount of time before we can become Celestials again and get our powers back. That's why I wonder, how could you even tell what we were?"

"I have spent enough time with Kitsune to know what to look for. By the way, what does he told you about me?" I asked.

The man scratched his chin and said: "Not much. Only that you are an friend and we should take care of you."

"That sounds like him..." I muttered under my breath and looked to the side. Star looked nervous in this whole situation and didn't understand what we were talking about. She then asked: "Bullet? Who are these humans?"

I smiled down at her and said: "These two were send here by an friend of mine to help us. They want to take care of us, give us food and a warm place to sleep at night. Would you like that?" Star smiled widely but then looked a bit down. "But... will we stay together?" I smiled at her and gave her a pet on the head as I said: "Of course! You are not getting rid of me this easily." Star now smiled widely again and throw her small arms around my torso to give me a hug.

I then turned to the two humans and said: "Alright. Since you two are going to be our new owners, I think we should introduce ourselves. My name is Bullet and her name is Star. I hope you take good care of us."

The women stood up and ruffled the fur on little Star's head, which brings a giggle out of her. "I'm Linda Welsh and this here..." she points to the young man "is my brother Pete Welsh." Pete waved a hand but didn't said anything. "In the moment, we pretend to be the niece and nephew of Gaspar Welsh, who died and leaves us his house and a small fortune to start a new life in Babylon Gardens."

"But since you need a pet to live there, Kitsune suggested you to take me?" I said.

Linda nodded and stood up. "Well, visit time is almost over. The doctor said we can take you home by tomorrow. I hope we will get along and have fun together."

Pete just huffed and turned away. As they left the room, the others came back inside. Fox was talking with them for a while, saying that Officer Bill would like to talk with them at some point and then came back inside.

"Well, you seem to have caring parents. I was actually a bit worried at first." said Fido. From Sabrina's look I could tell she know who that two were and she was now looking warily at me.

Fox came over and said: "From what they told me, you will now stay in Babylon Gardens, right?" I nodded and he continues: "Well then. Maybe I can give you a tour once you are out of here. I could introduce you to my friend King and my cousin Baily. Or to the Good Ol' Dogs Club. You will surely made a lot of new friends here."

"Sounds good to me. I will call you once I'm ready to walk around again." I said happily that I already made some new friends here.

A Nurse entered the room and said: "Alright! Visit time is over. I must ask you to leave now. The patient still needs to rest."

"Alright. See you later Bullet!" said Fido and waved before leaving the room with Sabrina and Fox who said their good byes as well.

Star was already curled up beside me and I lied down and drifted off to sleep as well.
