The rain calms itself and let the thunder stop. They left puddles of water on the road. After the long walk, I arrive in the front door of Alexandria castle. Zidane opens the door and I get in also. The temperature is so different between inside and outside. The open fire makes the warmth around the room. Zidane gets a towel and cleans me up. Then Princess Garnet goes down from the stair.

"Where have you been?" Garnet asks.

"Just enjoying fresh air. I get bored in the castle. Where are the children?" Zidane is still busy cleaning me up.

"They get to sleep. Actually they want to wait for you to come home but they get asleep in their rooms. Where do you get the dog?" Garnet giggles.

"On the road. I reallywant to show him to the children," He then remove the towel from me. Now I am dry.

"I remember the children want to keep a pet. Lucky, now they are asleep.I don't want them to get excited in the middle of the night. Well, we have to wait until tomorrow to get our children reactions," She gives a smile to me.

"Yeah we have to wait. It's also rude to wake them up in the middle of the night," Zidane carries me to the living room.

"Be a good boy," He pats my head and leaves the room along with Dagger. I look the fire as it dances on the firewood. The crickets make a chirping sound outside the garden. I can feel it's very peaceful inside. The first time I wonder how I can be a dog but now it doesn't seem to bother me. I look to the back; there was a scar on it. The scar still leaves in me even though I'm different now. Garland smacks me off when I was a child. It gives a very irritating feeling and it heals for a very long time. It doesn't give a bad effect on me now. My eyes start to feel tired. Slowly, I close my eyes and gets asleep.
