A/N: Hello, my loyal readers. I found the episode Mutt's in a Name and since I'm going out tonight to be with my big city friends, I reward you for this chapter. As always, be kind enough to read & review. I'm also looking for requests for the next chapter if anyone has any suggestions, just review or PM me. Otherwise, enjoy!

Puppy and Spiffy had adapted to their new homes alright. Spiffy was at the Pickles house with Spike while Puppy would be with Fifi in the Finster house. Puppy was very happy she wasn't taken away from Angelica and have a possibly abusive relationship with the girl, but lately, Puppy had been sad. The humans couldn't find out why that was.

Not even Kimmy, Chuckie, and Tommy playing around her joyously could cheer her up. Tommy and Chuckie's ball rolled by the dog, but she merely glanced at it and continued to look down. Now the babies took notice to Puppy's depression.

"Don't you wanna play, Puppy?" Chuckie asked sadly.

Puppy, of course, could not answer him in a simple answer.

"She's sure not acting like herself," Chuckie was in deep concern.

Kimmy tried to cheer up the dog by waving her bunny doll. She assumed it was a bad day. Tommy suggested that Spiffy is happy when he chews on something, so he and the others went to get something for Puppy to chew on.

Puppy sniffed at the slipper given to her, but it couldn't cheer her up. Kimmy then suggested newspaper. He even showed her how to do it by chewing it himself, even if he didn't have any teeth. Fifi ran over and saw the fun and started to grab the paper. Even her mother's fun couldn't bring joy for Puppy.

The human adults were talking to each other now. Puppy had not had a name unlike her brothers, sisters, and parents. That was why she was upset. No one bothered to name her. Except for Spiffy who called her 'Runt', but she didn't take kindly to that name. Big brother teasing or no big brother teasing.

"That's why Puppy's sad!" Tommy spoke up after Kira left and Chaz buried his face in another naming book. "Cuz she don't gots her name yet!"

Chuckie kneeled in front of the little dog. "I'm sorry you're sad, Puppy. You can have my name if it'll make you happy."

'I don't think I'm much of a Chuckie...' Puppy sighed as she was still sad. 'That's such a people's name.'

The babies then argued about Chuckie's name and decided to let him keep it. Puppy knew this was a silly thing to be sad about, but it meant a lot to her. Her mother was Fifi, her father was Spike, her brother was Spiffy, who could she be? She didn't just want to be called 'puppy'. It made her feel singled out like she wasn't special and didn't deserve a name like anyone else in the whole wide world. Chuckie pressed his nose against hers.

"Thanks anyway, Chuckie." Puppy smiled and licked his face a little. He always knew how to make her feel important, even if today was a sad day for her.

Chuckie stood up and suggested to Tommy and Kimmy they should help Chaz find a name for the puppy. The babies went about to literally look for a name while Puppy suffered from her little crisis. She wondered what she would be called. Spiffy's name was just as unique. Stu said it himself, Spiffy, son of Spike and Fifi. It's not like she could be Fike or something uncreative like that.

Fifi came back from the newspaper mess. "Bon-Bon, you are upset again!"

Puppy whimpered, looking up at her mother. "Mama, I don't have a name... Spiffy gets a name, the people puppies have names, you and Daddy have names, I want a name!"

"You know you're my little angel, right?" Fifi nuzzled against her.

Puppy smiled at the warm embrace, but frowned again. "I know, but I want the humans to call me something special. Tommy's daddy named Spiffy after you and Dad... I'm no special dog... I don't have a special name. Can't you ask Chaz and Kira to give me a name that suits me?"

"I'd love to tell them, mon petite, but humans cannot understand dogs," Fifi explained, apologetically. "Sure, we can understand them a little, but I can't tell him what to name you. It doesn't work that way."

Puppy whined. "That's not fair!"

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but that's the human circle of life... Maybe someday when humans go extinct and the dogs rule, you'll go down in history."

"Mama..."

"What? It could happen... I saw a giant Reptar robot battle a giant Robo-Snail once just to stop the wedding between Chaz and that mean old Coco."

Puppy's eyes widned. "You saw that happen...? I thought it was a dream Chuckie had..."

"Non, sweetie, it really happened... After the wedding, Chuckie's daddy and Kimmy's mommy adopted me and soon enough, you and your brothers and sisters were born."

Puppy smiled a bit from the story. "I knew Chuckie was brave, but I didn't know he was so talented..."

"There's a lot you don't know about our family, sweetie, listen, I need to go outside for a bit, why don't you get some rest? Won't be long until lunch."

"Okay, Mama... Could you give me a name until the human puppies find me a new name?"

Fifi sighed a bit. She didn't want to say no, but she wished her daughter would be calm about this and not take it so seriously. Then again, she was young. "How about... Sparky? You have a lot of spark from your papa."

"Sparky? Sounds like a boy's name." Puppy shuddered.

"Uh, okay, um..." Fifi tried to think of more appropriate names. "Chippy!"

Puppy glanced at her mother. "Sparky it is..."

"Sorry, dear, grown up dogs don't always get to name their babies... I did my best," Fifi kissed her nose tip. "Mama has to go now, be nice and be good!" she ran off quickly outside to get to the tree.

'Sparky' felt temporarily happy. "Boy, I'm hungry..." she hummed. She then looked to see Chaz and Kira left the room, but she was hungry. 'Sparky' sighed and hopped into Kira's chair. "Is there any food here?" she looked around and found a stray jigsaw puzzle piece. "Oh, yeah!" she leaned in and ate it and swallowed.

After that, 'Sparky' went to lie back down and feel better now about her missing name. She then later felt something stuck in her stomach. "Ooh, I don't feel so good..." she moaned.

Chaz and Kira came back from taking Fifi outside. Kira went to her puzzle table and Chaz decided to take the puppy out for a walk to clear her mind. 'Sparky' felt very sick now.

"I shouldn't have eaten that thing...Whatever it was..." 'Sparky' moaned.

Chaz and Kira called for her as 'Puppy'. She was so attached to her new name now she forgot, but the adults misunderstood the situation. Chaz told her it was a 'identity crisis'. Chaz held the puppy in his hands, crying and Kira left to call the vet.

"This is a puppy emergency!" Chaz cried out.

"I'm fine," 'Sparky' tried to tell them. "I just ate something gross..."

"Don't worry, Puppy, it's going to be okay." Chaz cooed.

'Sparky' whined. Her mother was right. The humans couldn't understand her. Her stomach ache felt a lot worse now that the vet was coming and no one knew why she was really upset right now. She was over the name thing now. Chaz carried 'Sparky' around and put her down as she saw the babies with a pile of things in the center of them.

"I was hoping we could find your name, Puppy..." Chuckie pet the poor dog. "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry too, that I ate that thing..." 'Sparky' whimpered, hoping her nap would make the stomach pain go away. Always worked for her father.

"I wish Granma was here, Mommy says my name came from her." Kimmy sat down.

"Well, if there's a person who gives baby names, maybe there's a person who gives puppy names too!" Tommy proclaimed.

A dog like vehicle came to the Finster home. 'Sparky' looked up and groaned. She heard about vets from her big brother. Spiffy told her that vets will hurt her and not make her feel better. He usually loved to tell her scary stories to scare her since she was young and vulnerable.

Fifi sniffed the doctor as he came in after Kira called him. "You know your shoes smell good enough to chew on a drizzly Tuesday?"

Kira told Dr. Mutterly what had been going on and what's wrong with Chaz and the puppy. The doctor looked at Fifi and examined her.

"HEY!" Fifi grunted as she was being touched.

"She's the patient's mother," Kira told the vet. "Puppy is in the backyard."

"Her name is Sparky now!" Fifi barked back.

The vet let her go and walked with Kira to the Finster backyard.

"What a creep!" Fifi shuddered and ran off. Something about the doctor gave her an unsettling feeling.

Chaz was petting 'Sparky' while she lay on the ground. Her stomach was really gnawing at her now. She just wished she could cough it up or something like Angelica's cat with a furball. Why didn't she wait until feeding time? 'Sparky' was not amused by this vet and how he was scaring Chaz. The vet looked in the dog cage and things to see if anything was wrong for the puppy's living conditions.

"Be brave, sweetie." Fifi told the puppy.

'Sparky' sighed as she was lifted off the ground. Her ears were flopped, her mouth was opened, her paws were looked at. The babies came to help the poor puppy, but they looked for a name for her still. 'Sparky's' stomach was bugging her, why couldn't anyone understand that? 'Sparky' then was deeply not amused when the vet was acting like a dog himself. He just looked stupid doing it. When the babies did it, it was cute, when HE did it, it was just... Dumb.

"Mama, that man was weird..." 'Sparky' told the poodle as the vet was leaving at last.

Fifi whined sympathetically for her daughter, then gave her a little kiss to cheer her up. "It's all over now, honey."

Kimmy came and hugged the puppy. Kimmy then dropped her as Chuckie found the vet's dog care book and that force was enough to make 'Sparky' cough up the puzzle piece.

"Oh, finally!" 'Sparky' sniffed the piece, so relieved it was out of her stomach. "That thing's been ruining my whole day."

"I thought it was because you didn't have a name?" Fifi raised an eyebrow.

'Sparky' turned back to her mother. "I thought so too, but that puzzle piece hurt worse than not having a unique name like my family. I feel so much better now!"

"Well, if you're happy, I'm happy."

"Thanks, Mama."

"Chaz, look!" Kira called as 'Sparky' started to dig to celebrate.

"That man is a genius, she's got her old pep back!" Chaz cheered. "That's it, Pepper, we'll call her Pepper!"

'Sparky' heard that name. She then smiled. "Pepper... I like that," she went up to Fifi again with her bone. "Mama, can you call me-"

"Pepper?" Fifi finished for her and chuckled. "Oui, oui, I can. I heard."

Chaz then went to the babies and announced the puppy's new name as Pepper. Everyone then spent the day calling her as such. Pepper was happy again, the puzzle piece was out of her stomach and she now had a name. Who could ask for a better day?

"I have a name! I have a name!" Pepper danced. "Take that, Spiffy!" she laughed all giddy and filled with joy.
