*Marshall's POV*
"Marshall That was amazing!" Everyone commented as I joined them in the audience. A few people had already been singing after me and Lexi was waiting her turn at the side of the stage.
"Thanks guys. I'm just glad that the breathing part was on the backing track - when I try I sound like I'm having an asthma attack!" I smiled.
"Plus I didn't know that you knew Spanish." Smiled Everest who was now nuzzling into my side.
"I am very good at keeping secrets." I laughed.
"Wait, where's Chase?!" Yelped Skye who had just noticed the German Shepard's absence.
"You'll see." I smiled. Before she could answer me, Lexi walked onto the stage holding a microphone and gaining a cheer from the audience, only with her presence.
"Wow. Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've done one of these!" She started. I noticed that Austin was a few metres away from us with Lexi's camera. She had asked him to film for her YouTube channel. Despite her doing the whole, dog dress designing for a job, her channel was another of her favourite things.
"Instead of singing a cover tonight," Lexi sat on a stool and picked up her guitar, placing the mic on a stand. "I, Well, we have an original song. Chase?" Chase scrambled across the stage and sat down next to Lexi, another mic in front of him. "Chase wrote a song for a very special pup and I happened to have written the notes a while back. So this is 'imagination' and this is for you, Skye." The cockapoo's head snapped up towards the stage where Chase was staring straight at her, their eyes locking.
"Oh, there she goes again
Every morning it's the same
You walk on by my house
I wanna call out your name
I wanna tell you how beautiful you are from where I'm standing
You got me thinking what we could be 'cause...
I keep craving, craving
You don't know it but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they wanna say to you
This is typical of love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait
I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever.
In my dreams you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there—who knows?
Maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination?
We walk, we laugh, we spend our time
Walking by the ocean side
Our hands are gently intertwined
A feeling I just can't describe
All this time we spent alone
Thinking we could not belong
To something so damn beautiful
So damn beautiful.
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it, but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they wanna say to you
This is typical of love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait
I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever.
In my dreams you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there—who knows?
Maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination?
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Imagination
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Imagination
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
In my dreams you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there—who knows?
Maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination?
I keep craving, craving
You don't know it, but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they wanna say to you ."
*Chase's POV*
As soon as I finished singing, I ran to Skye who was smiling yet had a few tears falling from her eyes. She tried to stand up but fell down so she was sat opposite me. She gave me a smile before leaning forward into my chest.
"Thank you." She whispered. I nuzzled the back of her neck.
"So...?"
"Chase I love you too." She looked me right in the eye and smiled. "I have ever since we met and things just kept getting better. I think staying with Lexi and looking after Blue was the final thing to pull us together." I searched her eyes and all that I saw was honesty, love and a beautiful sparkle. I leaned in again and pulled Skye close to me.
"I love you so much." I mumbled into her fur.
"I love you too. Oh and,"
"Hmm?" I looked down at her as she looked up at me.
"It's not just your imagination." She smiled sweetly.
"Huh? What are you-" I was cut off by Skye reaching up to me and pressing her lips to mine.
*Rocky's POV*
I glanced across at Skye and Chase who were now making out next to the stage. About time! I noticed that Zaidy and Rubble, who had once been talking we're now falling asleep, leaning on each other. Sure Rubble, you 'don't like her'. I smiled to myself. That pup definitely has a lot to learn about relationships. Marshall and Everest were laying next to a pond, looking up at the stars. Looking at all these couples made me notice something. Where was Zuma? I knew the park was crowded but he was nowhere to be seen. I ran to Marshall and Everest.
"Guys Zuma's missing!" I gasped, trying not to fall in the water.
"What?!"
"Can you guys watch the others while I look for him."
"Lexi will kill you if you go looking by yourself."
"I don't care." With that, I bolted and because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I ran straight into Lexi.
"Rocky, where's Zuma?" She asked, panic showing in her eyes.
"I don't know, he's gone." We heard a loud yelp coming from the other side of the park. Zuma. We ran. We ran as fast as our legs would carry us before Lexi pulled me to hide behind a tree. We peered round and I saw a sight that made my heart stop. Dylan had Zuma pinned to the ground. I could see the lab struggling but his small size had a weakness.
"Wait here." Lexi snapped me out of my wits.
"What?!" I hissed.
"Wait here until it's safe."
"Lexi what are you doing?"
"Something crazy." She muttered before running over to them.
*Lexi's POV*
I had too much adrenaline in my blood to stop me from doing anything drastic. Luckily, Dylan didn't hear my boots against the grass. Before he could see me, I wrapped my arm around his throat and pulled him off of the pup. Now both of us were stood to our usual height, I knew that he would try and hurt me, he had it in him. I used all my strength to push the boy to the ground and twisted one of his arms behind his back, giving me the potential to snap the bone clean in half. I noticed Zuma and Rocky running towards the stage again. I leaned down and snarled in Dylan's ear.
"If you ever touch one of my pups again, I swear to god it'll be the last thing you do." He pushed me off but took no steps to inflict harm on me. He just stared at me.
"Why the hell are you doing this Dylan?!"
"You know why."
"It wasn't my fault, your father made his choice."
"You didn't have to get the police involved."
"My Dad was a cop of course he was gonna get involved."
"You killed him, Lexi."
"No I didn't, he chose what he did and the sentence was death." He glared at me as if he was ready to rip me to shreds. "Like I say, he made his choice." With that I ran back to the pups and we all agreed that we should go home and get some rest. Rocky didn't speak to me the entire way back. I felt everyone watch me and the mixed breed. The tension was so thick in the car. And when we got home it wasn't much better...
