30kisses theme: 25. Fence

Vida groaned as she tried to pull the weed from the ground. Stupid weed. Why in the world was she doing this? Oh, that's right. Chip was doing the lawn. She hates mowing the lawn. She is happy to give him the job.

AHHH…Stupid damn weed!

"V! Look what I found!" Chip's voice rang out.

She turned around to see a…a dirty mop head? Why in the heck? Why would Chip being showing her a dirty mop head?

"I found it by the fence. Poor thing is so dirty and skinny. Once I clean it up and get some food in him, he would be such a cute puppy." He said happily.

"A puppy?" She said as she stared. He moved closer to her and held the puppy closer for her to see. The puppy was black and brown. It was covered in dirt and twigs.

It still looked liked a mop head to her but with big black eyes. The puppy was trembling in Chip's hands.

"Come on, Hiro…let's get you clean up." He said softly before dashing into the house.

Two things popped into her head at once. One, it was a puppy. Chip has wanted a puppy since they moved here. She has been able to talk him out of it several times. She loves dogs. She just didn't want one yet. But she knew he has been eyeing them at the pet stores and adoption centers. His eyes would light up when he saw them. Now that one had landed right in their laps. She knew he wasn't going to let it go. Second thing was…why is world would he name a dog that?

Slowly, she headed toward to the house and into the kitchen. She saw him in a chair by the kitchen table. He was gently wiping the dog's fur clean with a towel.

"Okay…ground rules. He's your dog. You take care of him. That means feeding him, take him outside, and all that jazz. Got it?" She said.

"Really? You mean I can keep him!" He said with the biggest grin.

"If no one comes to claim him…sure." She said with a shrug. It wasn't like the pup was her responsibility.

Suddenly, she felt herself off the ground as he hugged her. He kissed her happily.

"Thank you! You're the best!" He said as he put her down.

"Damn straight." She said with a grin.

"Well…I have tell you a few things too…to make sure your stuff is safe.."

-MF-

"YOU GOD DAMN ANIMAL! WHERE ARE YOU?" She cursed as she held up the chewed up cable.

"V…what is it?" He said as he came into her work room.

"The thing did this to my cable. Now…I can't work!" She said angrily. She stalked over to him and show him the cable.

"Do you have an extra one?"

"No…"

"Then I get you a new one."

"How can you be so damn calm about it!"

"Well…I have lost enough action figures, toy swords, capes, and shoes to the drooling mouths of puppies to know. You always close the door….or put stuff on a different shelf." He said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek.

She grumbled softly.

"Don't worry. I will replace it in no time. And…I will make it up to you." He said softly.

"Really?" She said as a wicked grin appeared on her face.

"Really."

"Okay…hurry back…" She said as she kissed his lips. He turned away and she hit his butt.

"V!"

"You said anything."

She watched him blushed as he left the room. She grinned to herself until she saw that caught her eye. She turned her head to see the puppy wagging its tail under her jacket.

"Well…you're good for something…" She said as she picked up her jacket. She scratched behind Hiro's ears.

"GOD DAMN IT, HIRO! Give me back my shirt. This isn't a game of a tug of war!" She screamed as she chased the dog around the house. Who knew a puppy could run so fast?

And she couldn't count on Chip. He already left for work. Lucky bastard. She nearly tripped over the coffee table as the puppy dashed under it. She jumped over the table and grabbed the happy little bastard. The puppy wiggled in her arms until she got the shirt out of his mouth.

"You are a pain in the butt, Hiro." She said to the puppy.

"You have no idea, do you?"

The puppy stared at her and wagged its tail.

"Those puppy dog eyes and innocent face isn't going to always work."

Hiro crawled up her chest and sniffed her face.

"Neither is that."

Then he licked her face.

"AHHh…neither is that!"

He licked her face again.

"AHHH…STOP IT!"

--MF—

"GOD DAMN DOG! Could you found somewhere else to pee?" She said as she picked up Hiro.

She held out the dog until she reached the back door. She opened the door and set him outside.

"You pee out there!" She shouted as she slammed the door behind her. She groaned softly as she goes to the fridge to get herself a coke. She heard footsteps behind her.

"V, why is Hiro outside?" Chip's voice said.

"He peed on the carpet and I kicked him out. DO NOT THINK ABOUT LET HIM BACK IN!" She said.

"Don't plan too." He said.

"Good."

She looked over at Chip as he moved over to the counter and grabbed a banana. She heard scratching at the door.

"Ignore it."

"But…"

"Chip…."

"Okay…"

The scratching continued.

"V….I think we can let him in."

"No. He has to learn."

"He will learn. He's just a puppy. It's going to take him awhile."

"Great."

The scratching stopped.

"See? He's learning." She said as she closed the fridge's door. She turned around to Hiro staring at her. She looked over at Chip to see him making…some type of banana sandwich. She probably didn't want to know.

"Chip…did you let dog in?"

"No." He said as he turned to look at her. She looked over to see the door wide open. She looked over at Chip, who was staring at the door. She stared down at Hiro, who was wagging his tail happily.

She started to laugh.

--MF—

She was watching tv on the sofa when she heard a small odd sort of groan. She looked down to see Hiro at her feet.

"You miss Chip too, huh?" She said as she picked him up and set him on the sofa. Hiro moved over and laid his head on her lap.

"Well, I miss him too." She said as she stroked his fur.

"He's training a bunch of new students. Joy for him. I can imagine it would drive a normal person nuts. In other world, he loves it."

She paused for a second.

"You know….you better not make a habit of this," She said to Hiro. He just wagged his tail.

"The sofa and bed are off limits."

He stared at her and wagged his tail harder.

"I mean it."

With that look in his eyes, why did she think she was losing this battle?
