"Oh my God! Daddy, look!"

Trucy grabbed her father's arm, pointing towards the buff detective Gumshoe, walking alongside his girlfriend, Maggey. Phoenix, Trucy and Apollo were coming back from a day out at lunch, and it seemed as if Gumshoe and Maggey were taking a walk.

"Yeah, it's the nice detective, Trucy! Say hi-"

"No, not Mr. Gumshoe! I'm talking about that!" Trucy pointed towards the animal at Gumshoe's feet. It was Missile, the dog.

"That's Gumshoe's dog, baby girl. You've seen dogs before, Truce. Why are you so interested in this one?" Phoenix asked. Trucy was hopping like a rabbit out of hell, squealing.

"Because it's so CUTE!" Trucy screamed in the highest pitch voice to known to man, before sprinting towards the couple.

"Trucy, come back!" Phoenix called out, but to no avail. Phoenix and Apollo watched as Trucy practically stole the dog, carrying it back to the two men. Phoenix saw Gumshoe and Maggey walking after the young girl, waving to the attorneys.

"Seems as if your daughter has taken a liking to Missile, pal," Gumshoe noted as he approached Phoenix. Trucy was running circles with the dog, practically jumping in sync with it. Although Phoenix, Maggey and Gumshoe laughed at the excited young girl, Apollo was awfully silent.

"Polly, come check out little Missile!" Trucy called out to her brother, causing him to scratch the horns on his head, awkwardly grinning.

"N-nah, I'm good, Truce-"

"Whaddya think, Polly?!" Trucy asked suddenly as she picked up the dog, shoving it into Apollo's face, causing him to stagger back, his eyes widening.

"D-DON'T GET THAT ANIMAL NEAR ME!" Apollo screamed, causing Trucy to glare at him.

"Apollo! Don't be so mean to lil' Missile!" Trucy huffed.

"Yeah, pal! What's the big deal?!" Gumshoe growled.

"Apollo," Phoenix sternly said, glaring at the red attorney. "Are you scared of dogs?"

"No!" Apollo immediately spat back.

"Then what's wrong?" Trucy asked. Apollo sighed, looking at the concrete floor below him, mumbling something. Trucy narrowed her eyes.

"What? I didn't hear you," Trucy asked.

"Allergic…" Apollo mumbled again. Trucy's jaw dropped, her eyes widening as she slightly giggled.

"You're… Allergic to dogs?!" Trucy asked. Apollo sighed, nodding. The other three were surprised, considering Apollo had never mentioned this before. They were surprised as Apollo suddenly sneezed.

'Oh, boy…' Phoenix thought as Trucy placed the dog down, going to help Apollo.

"Daddy! We're going to the agency and we're going to fix Apollo's allergies!" Trucy bravely said as she held Apollo's arm, dragging him down the pavement.

"Trucy, you can't-"

"Come help me, Daddy!" Trucy cried out, cutting Phoenix off. The attorney started sweating, slumping over as he walked towards Trucy and Apollo.

'I wonder how long it'll take to convince Trucy you can't 'fix' allergies…'
