Petey's POV
Jimmy and Petey had just run into a pack of assorted, speaking dogs. Before they had even gotten there Pete had felt afraid of a massive white Great Dane, and he had crouched down when he had gotten close. One of the German shepherds had asked the exact question that had been on Petey's mind- What were they going to do next? "Well, I think that we should all act normal." One of the dogs with floppy ears said. Ted, probably. "Yeah? And where's that supposed to get us?" Jimmy challenged. "Some people at Bullworth aren't very fond with dogs." "Especially not dirty mutts like them!" one of the dogs said with an English accent, pointing his cream paw at one of the German shepherds. "Wanna say that to my face?" The shepherd challenged with a deep voice and an Italian accent. Johnny and Bif, most likely Pete thought.
Suddenly the Great Dane piped up asking "Can we go scare Nerd now?"
"No Russell, not yet!" Zoe told him.
"G-guys?" Pete mumbled. Everyone stared at him with expectant dog eyes. "Why do you… think that, you know…" he searched for the right words, "Got… turned into dogs?"
"Pff, I don't give a flip about that." Claimed a dog who was probably Derby. "All I want to know is why I was turned into a Japanese Ak-whatsamicallit instead of an English setter or something…?"
"Akita!" Ted corrected him, "and no one really cares about what breed you are!"
"Back off athlete!" Snarled Bif, stepping protectively in front of Derby. Damon did the same for Ted, and both dogs stood glaring at each other for a moment before Petey gave a small groan of irritation.
"Seriously, fight when we know why we were transformed!" he growled. Damon shrugged and sat down. Bif just shook his head and licked his jaw. Petey had to admit, that was a pretty dog-like move.
"Any inspirations on where to go?" asked Zoe.
"To scare a Nerd!" Russell whined impatiently.
"I think that would be fun!" Peanut remarked, his tail wagging. Russell nodded and started to trot toward the library. He disappeared around a corner, and it wasn't long before Pete heard loud barks and surprised screaming. He could understand what Russell was saying though, even if he was barking:
'Guess what Nerds? Russell now has big teeth as well as muscle!'
Petey sighed and shook his head sadly.
When Russell had returned from his little play-area, Johnny looked like he was lost in thought. Petey waved his tail in front of the German shepherd's glazed eyes.
"W-what?" Johnny mumbled, blinking a few times. "Oh sorry, I was just thinking about that Preppy's dog."
Everyone's head snapped up and they all turned and stared at Johnny.
"What?"
"You mean Chester?" asked Derby. Johnny nodded.
"Why were you thinking about him?" Bif challenged.
Johnny shrugged. "I was just wondering if he knew anything about us turning into dogs… nothing much."
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes sparkling.
"Vincent," Jimmy said "you're a genius!"
"Am I?" Johnny asked feeling very confused.
"Yeah, is he?" Derby grumbled.
"Come on then!" Zoe yelled, "Let's go ask… Chesty or something whether he knows anything!"
"I'd be surprised if he didn't." Bif commented as they began to run toward Prep Territory. "Chester sees, like, everything."
"I sure hope so." Jimmy mumbled.
Petey sighed and hoped that the bad-tempered dog did know something.
