Sorry bout that.
Zoe's Pov
I went inside the dumbwaiter. "I miss those days." I said, smiling while I gripped the old rope with my paw. There was nothing in Blythe's old apartment. It's been empty ever since she left for college. I heard a noise at the top, it sounded like a blind opening. "Hello?" Blythe? "It's Zoe, Blythe!" I began to pull on the rope. After pulling for like, ever, on the rope, I finally reached her room. "What are you doing? How'd you get up here?" "Oh...I may or may not be moving back in..." "WHAT?! OMG! That's so FABULOUS!" If she and Josh moved back in, this place would be a LOT happier! "Ah ah ah! You have to fix the pet shop's problems before I start packing." I frowned. "But, I don't know how! Everything is just...out of place." "Well then, you'll just have to figure it out." I sighed. But...how?
Russell's Pov
Alright Russell. Stop pitying yourself, and get down to business. I began brainstorming what to say to when I apologize to Zoe. I grabbed my clipboard and made a list. "Hey Russell. What's up." Minka said sadly. "Busy. Zoe. Apologize."
Minka's Pov
(GASP!) That's the ginormous word Pepper used! "Yay! Someone is at least TRYING to be sorry!" I clapped my hands excitedly. "Yayyayyayayayay!" I yelled throughout the pet shop. "Minka. Quiet." Russell said, still jotting down notes. "Oops." Buttercream came over. "What's shakin bacon?" "Hi Buttercream! Russell's trying to...say he's sorry to Zoe!" "That's fantasticly wastic! Good for you Russell Bo Bussell!" "So Buttercream, how are the treats coming along for the wedding?" "Youngmee is doing a good wood jobby, Bobby!" "My name's not Bobby. Or is it?" Hmmm...
Zoe's Pov
I circled around the dumbwaiter. Ugh! "Stupid Blythe." I muttered. I decided to go to her apartment anyways, it was a good thinking spot. I began to pace the floor. What to do? Who first? With some work, I could probably break Sunil... "Zoe?"
Russell's Pov
"Oh. It's you. I am SO not in the mood!" Zoe said. "Well, get over it. You need to hear me out." Zoe turned her back to me. I took a deep breath. "Zoe Trent, I am terribly sorry for all of my mistakes." No response. "Ahem, and I realize that I am an idiot and a jerk. You probably know that I despise Digby, and am very jealous of him. But, I don't want anyone to interfere with my Zoe. I promise that I will be less possessive, and more reasonable." I glanced up. She still did not turn around. "If you loved me, you wouldn't be so...rude to me! I am totally over Digby! You knew that. I thought you understood." I heard the sadness in her voice. "I do understand! It's just that...Digby is sly and sneaky and could steal you away in a heartbeat!" "Well, he didn't. Nothing will fix this Russell. Nothing you can say will repair this dilemma." She said,firmly. I stopped for a moment and thought I could do to fix this. "I bet this will." I said with a small smile. I cleared my throat and began to spin my tale. "I was walking aimlessly with my owner on the sidewalk of Downtown City..." I spotted a beautiful purple dog near me. My owner left me to go inside a shop. I was happy to be close to the girl I had my eyes on. She appeared to be very sassy, so when it began pouring rain, I thought she would run for the hills. I was surprised when she began singing and snapping her paws. "I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain!" She grabbed my paw and said three simple words I remembered for years, "Dance with me." Her hair and hat were dripping wet, and I imagine I probably looked the same. However, this dog was much prettier than I looked in the rain. She flung out her arm, so I mirrored her motion. I twirled her in a circle and she went back into my arms. The girl then let go of my paw, which felt empty and cold without hers intwined with mine, and leaped and spun about. Suddenly, she slipped because of the water! It felt like slow motion. I stretched out my arms and caught her. We were both breathless. "Zoe? Zo-Zo?" "Um, uh thanks." Then, she left me standing in the rain speechless, and alone. "
I let Zoe take my story in for a moment. "After that, I never saw her again. Until I came to Littlest Pet Shop, and found her again. I never mentioned it though; I was afraid you would have no idea what I was talking about." Zoe still had her backed turned away from me. "Russell Ferguson," she turned around and finally faced me. Uh-oh. She looked steaming mad! "I cannot believe you...remembered!" She exclaimed and hugged me tightly. I was still recovering from my shock. I sighed. "Thank you." I said silently.
Little did thy know, Blythe was sitting in the doorway. "Looks like Zoe did a good job fixing things at the pet shop."
Yay me! :) Almost time to hear wedding bells ring guys!
