EPILOGUE: A Song Of Fire And Ice
Two canines were just staring in the grass outside the lookout. It was very late at night, several hours after the show, now with it being midnight. The other pups in question were sleeping soundly over 60 feet away.
"Hey...uhh...I still wanted to do that duet with you." Everest spoke warmly.
"Really? How so? And what song do you have in mind?" Marshall asked, still dressed in his Weeknd cosplay, feeling too emotionally attached to take it off.
"I have an idea." The husky spoke plainly as she took out a small portable radio that she stole from Ryder's basement.
"What are we gonna do? Find some duet that we both like on the radio? This late at night? Good luck with that." Marshall replied with a yawn.
"Well, the radio station that we listen to is having a top 40 countdown tonight. And, well, one of your favorite songs is number one." Everest smiled as she turned on the radio set. The same song that they sung for the intro of the karaoke show was just wrapping up when the radio jockey made himself heard.
"You're listening to the All-Night Party Mix included with the top 40 on 99.1, The Mix, Adventure Bay's music station." The disc jockey said as the next song started to play. The dally and husky's eyes widened with happiness as they heard Marshall's favorite song start playing. He had listened to a lot of the Weeknd's music lately, and tonight was finally he had the chance to sing this song in particular with her.
"Oh my god, turn it up. I don't care what anyone says." The dally spoke, feeling giddy. Everest did as she was told, increasing the volume on the radio. Marshall felt like singing, and he did so, putting one of his paws around her shoulder.
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
Everest smiled warmly. Every time that Marshall sang to her, it felt like she was on a cloud. Far away from life below, as her guardian angel continued to bless her hearing with warm vocals.
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
Marshall was thoroughly surprised as his girlfriend began to sing back-up to him, with the song starting to settle into their brains.
I don't know why I run away (Oh)
I make you cry when I run away (Oh)
Take me back, 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
As the second verse started, Everest stood on all fours and walked around him, seductively singing in an unusually breathy tone, catching the dalmatian off guard. He realized it wasn't the regular version. At all. This was the remix version.
Met you once under a Pisces moon
I kept my distance because I know that you
Don't like it when I'm with nobody else
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell
Her fluffy tail grazed his muzzle as she sang the last line, as Marshall's face turned red. She stood him up on all fours and sang to him, holding him close.
I don't know why, I run away, oh boy
I make you cry when I run away
Boy take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that it's much too late
And you deserve someone better
The husky felt her body start to sing, as she started to dance to the song. Marshall was in awe, enjoying every moment of what he was seeing.
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
As the bridge came on, the two were staring directly into each other's eyes to the deepest extent of their pupils, feeling an invisible force pulling them closer as they both sang together.
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
They both started to dance without a care in the world, singing to the top of their lungs and smiles shared between the couple. They were dancing in the dark, sharing their love in one of the unorthodox ways they knew how. The pups actually heard the couple and tried to go back to sleep, hoping that their owner would take care of the dalmatian and husky.. Ryder, who was sleeping in his room inside the lookout, heard it and decided to see what was going on. But it would take a while.
Save your tears for another day
Ooh, girl, I said
Save, save, your, your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day.
Everest turned off the radio and the two nuzzled each other lovingly as they always did. The serotonin was still high between the both of them, radiating in their souls.
"That was the best duet we've ever done…" Marshall spoke, his happiness overtaking him.
"I know...I wanted to do this with you, because...well...I love you." Everest replied. Just then, Ryder walked up to them.
"Thank you very much." Ryder grumbled, grabbing his stolen radio set back. "It's midnight. Both of you, go to bed. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes and walking back inside the lookout, still wearing pajamas and those odd german-shepherd like slippers. The pups often argued that Chase was Ryder's favorite, using this as evidence. Ryder loved each of his pups dearly, but he secretly loved the german shepherd most of all. He would never say it in public, however. Marshall and Everest looked at each other with confused expressions and shrugged.
"Man...he was kinda pissed, not gonna lie." Marshall quipped.
"He's probably jealous of our music taste." Everest remarked, knowing fully well why Ryder was mad to begin with.
"Yeah...he's just mad because we don't like singers like Luke Stars anymore. I mean, when he dropped that rap album, it sucked. And, well, he was a one-hit wonder, to be honest. And we all like singers who are not so squeaky-clean sometimes. Ryder doesn't like Drake or modern music in general because either they swear all the time, have sexual stuff in it and things like that. I mean, Ryder, we're older. Get over it. We're not all innocent pups anymore when it comes to that." Marshall mumbled quietly.
"Why did Luke Stars write so much songs about dogs anyway? Couldn't have he sang about human girls instead, like he should?" Everest wondered aloud.
"Yeah...this isn't related at all, but did you steal Ryder's radio?" The dalmatian asked, wanting to change the subject.
"You know it." The husky answered with a loving wink. The couple then kissed, said goodnight to each other and went back to their respective pup houses for a long sleep.
The song used for this was Save Your Tears Remix by Ariana Grande by the Weeknd. It's such a banger of a song, and when I started writing this song, it was number one. I love the Weeknd and I wanted to take advantage of this opprotunity. Oh, and Abel Tesfaye collected 10 Billboard Music Awards tonight. Ten. It's crazy. That's Michael Jackson 1984 Grammy Stuff. And in this household, we don't like the Grammy's. Because it CORRUPT, and Abel said so - mitch
