I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS FLUFFY STORY

One evening Scout was walking back to the base after watching a baseball game at the local sports bar. He could have just driven but it wasn't far and it was a beautiful day. His team won and he was ready to rub it in Soldier's face."he's goin to owe me so much dough" he rubbed his hands together. He sighed he was being stalked he realized "they" were following him for about a block now he decided to confront them. He whipped around "stop followin me!" he shouted. The little puppy barked happily and wagged her fluffy tail. "Go home mutt" he pointed in the opposite direction he was going. The puppy stopped so he continued walking however as soon as he started walking the puppy followed him. He growled in frustration and drew his gun "if you don't stop followin me I'm going to shoot you dawg" he threatened. The puppy bowed playfully and barked. He sighed heavily and holstered his gun. He had an idea he'll just run since he is the fastest thing on the planet that dumb mutt will never keep up with him. He started running the puppy wagged her tail excitedly and ran after him. He was shocked to find the puppy running right behind him. At this point he reached the base. "So you managed to follow me all the way here well guess what you can't follow me inside" he had his traditional smirk. He went inside the base and slammed the door. "Ha stupid dawg she'll have to leave now time to go rub my team winning in da Soldier's face" he walked to the game room and saw him sitting on the couch the moment he saw Scout his eyes widened. "Dats right I win da bet now pay up" he held his hand out. "Best two out of three" Soldier said "no way I won now pay up!" Scout demanded. Soldier grumbled something that was probably best unheard as he handed Scout the money. "Haha yes!" he shouted. Just then his stomach growled he went to the dining room where he caught a whiff of something amazing. He went to the kitchen to find Engineer cooking dinner. "What are you cooking that smells amazing?" his mouth was watering. "I'm makin some homemade meatloaf," he responded. "Well you need to hurry up and finish because dat looks delicious" Scout was practically drooling. His mind wandered to the puppy. He doubted she was still there as it had been about an hour at this point. But he decided to go check. He opened the door and the puppy was patiently sitting there. "Ok who hired you" he lifted the puppy up and thoroughly searched her for a camera he set her back down "why won't you go away?" he whined like a child. Just then Engineer called everyone for dinner. "Yess you can stay out here and starve but I'm going to eat" he ran inside and was the first one at the table. Everyone was making small talk except the Soldier and Demoman and eating. "Sheeoot did you guys see there is quite the gully washer headed this a way" Engineer said. "Really?" Scout swallowed his mouth full. "Why do you seem worried?" Engineer asked. "Oh because I left my favorite bat outside and I don't want it to get ruined" he lied. After he finished eating he was heading to his room. "There's a storm headed this way? But that puppy is still outside.. Oh what do I care? She'll be fine, what's the worst dat could happen" he told himself. His mind started wandering (I suppose she could drown or get struck by lightning or a tree could fall on her) he thought. "pfft who cares? not me" he continued to his room. He stopped once he saw a flash and a loud boom followed. He ran to the door he opened it and grabbed the puppy. He hurried to his room and closed the door. "Fine you can stay here for tonight but you gotta be quiet ok" he said. She panted and wagged her tail. He sat on his bed then there was a knock at his door. He got up and pushed the puppy under the bed "shhh" he said then he answered the door. It was Miss Pauling. "Oh hello Miss Pauling what brings you by?" he asked. She invited herself in "honestly Scout don't you ever clean" she said. "Uh I'm above cleaning" he said it like it was the most obvious thing ever. "Anyway I want to go over something on your contract with you" she laid some papers out on his desk. Just then they heard whining Scout's eyes widened. "What was that? it sounded like a dog you better not have a dog in here you know we have a strict no animal policy" she said. "Haha don't be silly of course there's no dawg in here dat was me I'm practicing whining like a dawg" he laughed nervously. "For what purpose?" she raised a brow. "Well when I ask you out I can whine like a dawg and you can't say no" he cringed at the stupidity of that statement. "Your a freak Scout" she shook her head. "I'm a freak for you" he winked. She slammed her binder shut "you know what never mind we can do this some other time" she left. He sighed in relief and fell back on his bed. He decided it was bedtime.

The next Morning he woke and saw the puppy snoozing on one of his many shirts that littered the floor. "Aww i suppose dat is ratha cute...wait what am I sayin dat puppy is not cute" he said. "Ok times up time for you to beat it" he scooped the puppy up she gave a cute little puppy yawn. As he was walking down the hall he ran into Miss Pauling. "Scout what is that puppy doing here!?" she demanded. "I was just gettin rid of this mutt she must have snuck in," he said. "Uh huh" she didn't really believe him but she didn't push it. "Don't worry Miss P this mutt is going bye bye. He reassured her. He put the puppy outside "ok you had your stay now it's time to go away" he said. The puppy sat there staring at him. "ok then since you don't want to do this the easy way then we'll have to do it the hard way" he grabbed her and put her in the bread truck he climbed in the driver's seat. He drove out into the middle of nowhere and dumped her. "Good bye" he waved. "Well I'll never see her again" he drove back to the base as he was about to go inside he heard barking. He turned to see the puppy running up to him. "Wha how did you.." he didn't know what to say. He knelt down the puppy licked him. "Ok you win I guess your pretty cute" he started petting the puppy. "Scout I thought you were getting rid of that dog" came Miss Pauling's angry voice. " I really did try Miss Pauling but she won't go away" he said. "Take her to the shelter then" she said. "Good idea why didn't I think of dat" he said. He drove to the shelter as he was walking inside the puppy was giving him the sad eyes. "Come on don't look at me like dat she's the one dat wants you gone" he said. "I would like to drop this puppy off" he told the lady at the desk. "Aww what a cutie I think you should keep her she seems to like you" she said. "The place where I live doesn't allow pets so she's outta luck" he said. "Aw that's too bad well I'll take her off your hands then" she said. As he was handing her to the lady she wriggled free of his grasp and ran off. " well dat works too," he said. He was driving back to the base he knew the puppy would be there. But when he got back there was no sign of her. He checked around the base. "Puppy where are you I'm sorry I tried to get rid of you" he called. "What are you looking for?" Spy asked. "I lost my baseball" he scratched the back of his head. He gave up looking "it's uh it's about time she left yea….finally she's gone dats what I wanted ha…." he sighed sadly. He was about to go sulk in his room when he heard the bushes rustling. The puppy came out wagging her tail. "I knew you'd come back" he hugged the puppy she gave him kisses. He looked for Miss Pauling. "Miss Pauling please let me keep this dawg I promise she won't get in the way of my work" he begged. "No Scout no pets" she said. "Please please please, how can you say no to dat face" he said. (what a minute if I let him have this puppy then he'll leave me alone) she thought. "Oh yes of course this cute little puppy can stay" she said. "YES" he cheered. "Did you hear that? uh I suppose I should give you a name he said. "Yea why don't you do that somewhere else" Miss Pauling said. "Ok let's see how about Baseball or Bonk ooh I know Socks like the Boston Red Socks" he said. The puppy was happy to have been given a name. "Another thing I can rub in the others' faces" he walked off to brag about his new puppy. THE END
