Season 2 Chapter 12: Arrival in Cornwall

A/n: Here it is at last. The chapter that you've all been waiting for. Tell me what you guys think of this so far.

I checked the Cornwall tourist guide and then back to what was outside the bus window. There were many peninsulas encompassing wild moorland, hundreds of sandy beaches, and the occasional house that would our bus would pass by. "We were definitely in Cornwall now.", I thought with excitement.

"Excited huh?", Dolly asked as she gently placed her head on my right shoulder.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've ever really traveled. So this is a whole new experience for me.", I answered. "I'm glad you wanted me to tag along with you and your family."

"No prob Bob."

A loud hissing sound came from inside the bus as it came to a stop. "Alright everyone, make sure to get all your stuff. We've arrived at last.", Doug announced.

"Well it seems like we're here. I can't wait to show you around, you'll love it here.", Dolly stated with pure joy and excitement and exited the bus along with the rest of her ecstatic siblings.

"I hope so.", I thought with utmost hope glimmering in my mind before putting on my bookbag and guitar.

-Beach-

Everyone was occupied with their own current activities. Dizzy, Dee Dee, and Dorothy were building sand castles. The Triple D were taking selfies buy the large crystal blue body of water. The Dimitri trio were in the harrassing fish that got too close to the shore. Diesel was too busy digging random holes and so forth.

Deepak was finally able to do some meditating away from his family in peace and quiet. Dawkins was collecting sea shells he came across, presumably for "research".

For some odd reason Da Vinci was watching me from a distance. I pretended that I didn't notice her unusual staring. Dylan on the other hand I couldn't seem to find. Dylan in her usual joking fashion told me he was probably off looking for his "Girlfriend".

"This place is beautiful.", I muttered in awe.

Before me was a sight to behold. Miles and miles of ocean were ahead. Two peninsula hill-like formations covered in forest were planted on both sides of the huge body of crystal blue water.

In the distance a lighthouse could be seen on a nearby hill that lead up to right peninsula. "That's why I love coming here. The beach is the best part of this place.", Dolly smiled staring off into the horizon.

"I didn't expect to see you here again after all this time."

Due to how unfamiliar the voice sounded I turned around to face a male doberman. He had black and tan fur, His right ear stuck up and had a cut on it while his left flops down, and a necklace with a single shark tooth on it. He didn't seem to wear a shirt, but he did wear light blue shorts that stopped at his knees. I did notice a large scar across his stomach and chest.

"Spike?", Dolly questioned and immediately brought him into a hug. "It's been forever."

So this is Spike huh? I stood up from the my sandy seat and dusted myself off. "So you're Spike?", I asked reaching out a hand which he happily took. "My name's Aaron." He seemed like a chilled out guy.

"Nice to meet ya little dude.", He greeted.

"I don't think Dolly's told you, but I'm her Boyfr-"

"So Spike, What ya been up to since we've been gone?", Dolly asked cutting me off. The two slowly got caught in their little conversation and started to forget I was even there. After about several minutes later they had both left the beach leaving me stunned.

I instinctually became suspicious of the fact that Dolly had abruptly interrupted me before I was able to tell Spike that I was her lover. "That was strange...", I told myself.

"You good Aaron?", DJ asked.

"Oh yeah.", I responded snapping out of my daze. "What about you? How are you holding up?"

"Just thinking about Anna.", He casually answered as we began walking along the shoreline. "You're sister is one of a kind. Ya know the night we had our date that jerkwad Jason ambushed us with his little buddies. Anna had gotten pissed after seeing me getting my ass kicked and she turned into a whole nother person."

"What do you mean?", I asked him in confusion.

"I mean she lashed out and starting beating up Jason and his friends. I'd never expect her to be that violent, especially with how small and fragile she can be sometimes.", DJ explained. "That's why I like her, she's not like the other girls I've met."

"Well, I trust you with her DJ. You're a good kid just like the rest of your siblings.", I added get a rewarding smile of confidence from him. "Say have you seen Dylan anywhere? I can't seem to find him."

"Last time I saw him, he was heading up there.", He replied pointing at a hill painted with forest and it was the same one that had that very interesting lighthouse.

"Alright thanks brother."

-The Lighthouse Hill-

I randomly strolled through the forest in hopes I'd eventually find Dylan. "Where could he have gotten to? Why would Dylan be out here in the first place?"

Stopping I looked around and froze upon seeing Dylan crouched behind a group of bushes. He appeared to be watching something or possibly...someone. A smirk crept onto my face as I began quietly stalking Dylan.

The closer I got behind him the more clear it became to me what had really caught his eye. "Woah who's that?", I whispered kneeling beside Dylan.

She was a female Blue Merle Border Collie. She had white fur with four white socks fur patterns on her arms and legs, black ear lids, two different shaded colour patched eyes which were black and blue. With a blue back, a black tail with a white tip. She wore a blue jean jacket which fit her slim figure perfectly, and grey shorts.

"Summer...", Dylan murmured.

"Let's go talk to her.", I suggested.

"What?! We can't!", He loudly whispered.

"Why not man?", I questioned feeling like I hit a brick wall. "I get it brother you're nervous to talk to the girl you like. I'll help you, don't worry."

Getting to my feet and came out into the open with a loud, "Hello there!". Summer faced me and raised an eyebrow by my sudden intrusion.

"My name is Aaron Daniels, Pleased to meet ya.", I grinned.

"Um...Summer?", She responsed. "Are you lost or something? It's quite rare to see humans around here."

"Not really, I just came to help out a friend who was too shy to talk to you himself.", I said before looking expectantly at the bushes. "Come on out dude, she knows you're out there."

On cue as if we had previously planned this, Dylan popped out of the bushes with an unsure smile on his face. "Hey Summer.", Dylan awkwardly waved.

"City Boy?", Summer gasped.

"Y-yeah it's me. City boy.", Dylan blushed.

Feeling as if my work was done I felt like a third wheel. "Alrighty then, I'll leave you two to it then. See ya two later.", I said decidedly giving these two obvious "lovebirds" their space so they could catch up.

-That Night-

I roughly dragged my toothbrush across my teeth. I swished around the mouthwash and toothpaste in my mouth before spitting it right into the sink. I set my toothbrush on the side of the sink's counter and exited the bathroom.

An energy dispelling yawn escaped my mouth and I plopped onto my bed. I couldn't wait to start the day.

Knock!

Knock!

Knock!

"Hmm...I wonder who that is?", I wondered getting out of bed and groggily made my way towards my room's door. It creaked open and I found Da Vinci on the other side wearing the cutest sleepwear.

She wore typical white pj's with different color splotches in the shape of paw prints. "There something you need Da Vinci?", I asked.

"I was wondering if I could sleep in here...with you.", She finished in a timid manner.

She was just too cute sometimes. "Uh...sure why not?", I agreed opening the door all the way allowing her inside. She laid down on my bed intenly studying me as I got onto the other side of the bed.

She snuggled up beside me a smile of pure bliss on her muzzle, her tail thumping excitedly against my side. "Goodnight Aaron.", She whispered.

"Goodnight Da Vinci.", I said back and reached over to the lamp next to my bed and shut if off encasing my room in complete darkness.
