"So I've been thinking..." A voice says revealing to be the poodle as Alexis and Batty are digging through trash for food.
"Wow! Really?" Alexis asks sarcastically.
"Uh-huh. That must have hurt." Batty says.
"And I've decided to let you help me. If... you know if... if it makes you feel better." The dog says.
"Go home Pinky." Alexis says.
"I'm trying. It's just those dogs won't let me." The dog says.
"Well duh! That territory's marked. You gotta take the pee-free route." Batty says as she and Alexis look at the dog.
"The... the what?" The dog asks confusedly.
"Wow. You really have been a house dog all your life." Alexis says.
"I need to get to this guy. A human." The dog says as he tries to get into the dumpster and fails.
"Really now?" Alexis asks as she tosses a can onto the sidewalk.
"So, this guy... Ow! ..his name's Foxwell Cripp. He sells ice-cream out of a van." The dog says as he follows Alexis and Batty to an alley with a fence.
"The werewolf hunter? That weirdo's your master?" Batty asks.
"Wow. Feel bad for you." Alexis says.
"Gah no! He's my worst enemy." The dog says angrily.
"Really? What'd he do? Break your hair curler?" Batty asks as she chuckles.
"He killed my dad okay?" The dog asks angrily as Alexis looks at him sadly.
"I'm sorry about that. I know how you feel." Alexis says kindly.
"How could you know how that feels?" The dog asks angrily.
"I lost my parents too. It's why I live with Batty." Alexis says as Batty nods.
"And he stole something from him that I have to get back." The dog says.
"I'm... sorry. Really. But... we roam alone." Batty says.
"I've got meat." The dog says as Alexis and Batty stop digging through the trash.
"Hmm. We're listening." Batty says as she and Alexis look at the dog.
"At my house. A whole room full of. Chops. And steaks. Sausages. You get me to Cripp and it's all yours." The dog says as Alexis and Batty go over to him.
"And we'll be trusting you why?" Alexis asks.
"Well because a wollll... Because... I never lie." The dog says reassuringly.
"Hmm. Okay. We'll bite." Batty says as Alexis nods.
"Wha...? You'll help me?" The dog asks happily as his tail wags.
"Sure. Why not? Just keep up." Alexis says as she and Batty dodge getting caught by a human with a net.
"You won't get away this time Houndini and assistant!" A human shouts as another human comes over.
"That's what you think!" Alexis shouts.
"Yeah! Not for a 47th night in a row!" The other human shouts.
"Ha! Nobody captures Batty the Great Houndini and Alexis!" Batty shouts as she and Alexis begin fighting with the humans and eventually beat them.
"You know I was just about to jump in but you already finished them off." The dog says.
"Sure you were Pinky. Let's get a move on." Alexis says as she gestures for the dog to follow her and Batty.
"O-kay! And the name's Freddy!" The dog says as he trips.
"Hey look at us. Look at us. If we're gonna be seen together you... you need to start acting like a real dog." Batty says.
"I don't have time! I need to get to Cripp!" Freddy says impatiently.
"Act like a dog. Or we're not taking you anywhere." Batty says as Alexis nods.
"No! I need to get to Cripp!" Freddy shouts.
"Okay then. Have fun on your own." Alexis says as she and Batty begin to walk away.
"Wait!... What do I have to do?" Freddy asks reluctantly as Alexis and Batty smile.
*Timeskip*
Later as the group is scratching their backs against some buildings they quickly hide upon seeing werewolves.
"Okay Freddy. Last lesson. Werewolves are evil!" Batty says.
"What? Says who?" Freddy asks confusedly.
"Says all dogs. You can't trust werewolves." Alexis says.
"Werewolves run around at night pretending to help people but they're really stone-cold psychos who sacrifice puppies to their moon god!" Batty shouts.
"W-what?" Freddy asks in shock.
"They drink blood at night and sleep in freaky coffins during the day." Batty says.
"That's not true! I don't know where you're getting your information from but werewolves are-" Freddy then gets cut off by Alexis.
"Why are you defending them?" Alexis asks angrily.
"Are you some kind of wolf-lover or something? Huh? Because if you are you're on your own buddy." Batty says angrily.
"Wh...? No, no, no, no, no, no. No. Werewolves? Yuck! Hate those freaks." Freddy says nervously.
"Good." Batty says as she walks off.
"Look Freddy I don't know why you defended those werewolves but just take my word for it if you won't listen to Batty. Werewolves can not be trusted. They're horrible and heartless creatures." Alexis says coldly.
"Well can I at least ask why you hate them so much?" Freddy asks curiously.
"Remember what I said about losing my parents?" Alexis asks as Freddy nods.
"Yeah?" Freddy asks.
"It's because my parents lived in the woods. We were planning to come to the city to live with humans since food was getting scarce and before we could some werewolves attacked one night. Everyone in my family was killed but me. I know it was werewolves because I saw them as my mom took me away from the commotion only for her to go back to help and end up killed too." Alexis says sadly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know. Wait. Why were you in the woods with your family to start with? I've never known dogs to live in the woods. You honestly kinda look like-" Freddy then gets cut off by Alexis.
"A dog. I look like a slender husky dog. Look Freddy some packs do choose their wilder roots rather than their more humane ones. Nothing more. I live with Batty now. What happened to my family is in the past. I don't want to remember it. I just want to live with Batty. If I would lose her I don't know what I would do." Alexis says.
"I'm so sorry Alexis." Freddy says as he looks at Alexis sympathetically.
"Don't be. You wanted to know why and I told you why. Let's just get moving." Alexis says as she walks after batty with Freddy.
