Enjoy!
Skag Puppy
"And I'm awesome." Lilith announced as she liquefied a bandit.
"I think that was the last of them." Mordecai yelled from his position, the top of a building about fifty yards away.
"Aw man. I was just getting started." Brick added dropping a dead bandit who he had just crushed.
"Sorry big guy." Lilith said. "We'll find another camp to clear out. But first... I call that Maliwan the marauder was using!" She said running towards the bandit's corpse.
"Fine." Brick said going in the other direction to see if he could find any loot worth taking. Then he saw it. A skag puppy chained up to a building. Brick figured to bandits must have kept him as a pet or maybe to use as diner. But that really didn't matter now. All he knew was he wanted it.
"Whatcha looking at Brick?" Mordecai asked, walking up behind him.
"It's a skag puppy."
"Whatcha gonna do with it?" He said.
"I think I'm gonna keep her."
"What?" The confused hunter asked.
"I said I'm gonna keep her." Brick repeated.
"Brick you can't be serious."
"Why not? You got a new bloodwing, why can't I get a new puppy?"
"Because that's not a puppy Brick. It's a skag."
"It's a skag puppy. Besides, just look at her. She's adorable."
Mordecai looked up at the skag and she looked up at Mordecai and let out a small roar.
"Brick she's hideous." Mordecai said turning back to the berserker.
"Hey what's going on?" Lilith asked, walking back toward the other Vault Hunters.
"Brick wants to adopt a skag."
"You're kidding right?"
"I wish I was." He mumbled.
"I don't see what the problem is. It's a puppy, it's not like I haven't had one before."
"Those were dogs Brick. This is a skag." Lilith said.
"The only deference is that a skag is better at killing things."
"And you don't see the problem in that?" Mordecai asked.
"Besides Brick. You can't keep her, I'm allergic to skags."
"Seriously?" Mordecai said.
"Yes seriously. You didn't know that Mordy? Why the hell do you think I sneeze every time we're near a skag?"
"I never noticed."
"Really? You never noticed?"
"Look I'm drunk a lot. I don't notice little things."
"I can't believe you Mordy, you've known me for years."
"You know what?" Mordecai said, turning towards Brick. "I think Brick should adopt the skag."
"What?!" Lilith exclaimed.
"I think he should keep it. Look, the guy should be able to have his puppy. And besides I get to watch you be miserable."
"What did I ever do to you Mordy?"
"You want the whole list?"
"Both of you stop fighting. I am trying to come up with a name for my new puppy." Brick said.
"I can't believe you guys. I really can't." Lilith said walking away.
"So." Mordecai said. "What are you gonna name her?"
"I don't know yet."
"What about Lilith?"
"Yep that's a good name."
"No, Brick that's not what I meant. I meant what about-"
"Too late." Brick said. "Her name is Lilith."
Author's Note: I've always meant to come back to Lilith the skag and write another fic about her and Brick, I just never got around to it.
