Summary: I had a strange idea to write a story about the fallen knights coming into the future. Go figure. Sadie Fitzgerald works at a company that brings back heroes, or good people that died before their time into the future to give them a new start at life. It is set in a country I made up, but it is in the modern world. Just bear with me please. Some places names I'll borrow of real places. But I don't own any of them either.
Chapter Four:

Thanks for your help- I've been having trouble with this story so this chapter will probably be a bit strange. But thanks again, it was most appreciated.

Thanks, I don't know who she'll be with. Might not even be a Knight…
'Good God, what am I doing?' Sadie thought as she drove along the coast road towards the pound. This was such a risk! What if Lancelot wasn't ready for going out in public? She was only taking him out to get a dog because he was slipping deeper into himself. He was depressed, melancholy, whatever you would call it. The other two were handling it all right but listening to Dag and Tristan telling her about Lancelot she suspected he was missing Arthur and the woman he was falling in love with before he died, he went off on his own for hours when he found out Arthur and Guinevere wed. Sadie knew the joy a dog could bring. And while Lancelot loved his new horse Alice she caught him looking wistfully at Buster. So here she was driving a long a pretty coastal road, with an incredibly hot man next to her and she was wishing she was home. She just hoped for Lancelot's sake… and hers that it went well.
She was so deep in thought that she almost missed the turn off. She turned sharply and just made it, shocking Lancelot as she did so. He swore in colourful ancient language. 'Wow' Sadie thought I've got to learn that!
"Sorry." She apologized. They left the coast and headed in land, eventually finding the well worn dirt road that led to the pound. After finding a parking space she turned to Lancelot.
"Remember that your name is Lance Marantelli." She reminded him. He nodded. Taking a deep breath she stepped out of the car and headed towards the entrance, followed by Lancelot.
"How may I help you?" A middle aged woman with a kind face asked as Sadie and Lancelot as they stepped up to the desk.
"We were looking to purchase a dog." Sadie said. The woman smiled.
"You've came to the right place. Would you like a pup or a full grown dog?" She asked. Sadie turned to Lancelot.
Lancelot thought for a second. "Not a pup, but not fully grown. Middle aged" He decided.
The woman beamed. "This is excellent. The most popular is puppies, second is fully grown dogs people don't usually want younger dogs. My name's Susan by the way. May I ask yours?" She said leading them through a door to a large area fenced off. In it there were Dog runs and pens.
"I'm Sadie and he's Lance." Sadie answered. Susan turned around and looked at them.
"Are you two together?" She asked. Before Sadie answered Lancelot smiled and drew Sadie to him.
"Yes." He said. Sadie was furious with him, though she decided to go along with the impossible man. She smiled at Susan.
"I'll leave you two to have a look around. Be careful of the dogs with red ribbons though. Come find me or Phil over there-"she pointed to a graying man walking in the yard "-when you've found a dog." She said and walked briskly off.
Sadie turned to Lancelot and glared.
"Despicable man." She said. He laughed and headed towards the nearest dog pen. Shaking her head she followed him. He had been looking for half an hour when he found the dog. It's breed was to hard to tell- it looked like a mixture of different types. It was a medium sized male with an intelligent face. It wasn't the best looking dog of the lot, it's coat was brown.
"I want this one." He said. Sadie nodded.
"I'll find someone." Phil was in a run with an interesting mixture of a Saint Bernard cross and a small pug.
"We've found a dog." Phil nodded and with a pat to both dogs he let himself out and followed Sadie to the dog and Lancelot.
When he was shown the dog he fixed a leash to it and led it inside. Susan smiled at them and exchanged a few words with Phil then searched through a filing cabinet. She handed some papers to Sadie.
"He's been vaccinated and spaded. He's due for a checkup at the vets in two months. Use this and you get 15 off. Can you sign these?" While Sadie was signing the papers Susan started talking to Lancelot.
"Am I right in guessing you two have moved in together?" She asked with her permanent smile. Lancelot beamed back.
"You guessed right." He said. Sadie finished signing. And turned to Lancelot.
"Lance, can you sign this Hon?" She asked going along with Lancelot's little joke. He did and Sadie grabbed a few essentials for the dog and gave a donation to the pound. She had spent over $200 by the time she left, she hoped it was worth it. With a shock she realized Lancelot handled himself really well, she had forgotten that it was his first time out. She smiled.
"Want a bite to eat?" She asked as she pulled into McDonalds. Lancelot had developed a taste for their chicken burgers.
"Sure." He said.
They ordered their food and ate it on the way back home.
"Sadie." She turned to face Lancelot.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Thanks."
He said. "Thanks for everything. I know I've been difficult, and I'm sorry."
Sadie smiled. "That's alright. Things haven't been easy for you." Sensing this
was getting a bit uncomfortable for Lancelot she opened her door.
"Lets go introduce your new dog to the others and see what they've made for dinner."
A/N: Wow I've had so much trouble with this story. I've finally updated. I know I'm concentrating on little things like buying dogs at the moment, but I'm no sure when to start the 'emotions'. This chapter was on Lancelot so the next chapter will be on one of the knights or someone or something else. Is anyone but me looking forward to when Lancelot goes clubbing or to parties?
