Thanks for all the reveiws everyone by the way, keep em commin.
The dog never looked more terrified. A man holding a green hose, and a woman holding vast amounts of shampoo.
"Hey there baby we aren't going to hurt you." said Cordelier sweetly. The dog was trying to make a run for it yet the chain it had around its neck kept it from going. "Sorry sweetly but we got to clean you up." she said kindly yet the dog whined.
Their first mistake was using wearing nice clothes when washing a dog. Wesley turned onto the hose and set the nozzle on to "Shower" making the water come out of the nozzle like a shower in a bathroom, which made the dog immediately soaked. Its ears went to the back of its head and it's tail in between its legs as it sat there in complete misery. Once the pair was satisfied it was wet enough, Wesley turned off the hose. That's when it all started when he realized his mistake the minute the dog stood up.
"Oh no" whispered Wesley as the dog shook sending water everywhere including Cordelia who was in the direct line of fire. Her face turned beat red.
"If you are going to ruin one of my favorite t-shirts, then lets ruin it all the way eh?" she replied as she poured the shampoo upon his fur.
Wesley had never seen her more determined as she started making soak suds all over the dog and soon he was just a giant white foaming ball of suds. And this time he shook once more yet this time they where ready.
"Is he done?" asked Cordelia from behind one of the small trees in the garden. Wesley peaked over and saw the still sudded dog yet not as much.
"Yeh, turn on the hose." Wesley nodded and the minute Cordelia left the shelter of the tre,e but the dog felt as if it needed to shake once more.
Cordelia turned a shade of purple as she got soap all of her.
After not even trying to hide as they finished rinsing the dog off the pair were officially soaked.
"Can I please ask who's idea it was to wash the dog?" asked Cordelia.
"Yours" Wesley stated simply a smug grin on his lips.
"Don't give me that look," she stated obviously annoyed as she used one of the hotel's old toweled to dry the dog off.
"We're going to need to name him." Wesley stated as he dried of the male dogs head.
"How about Kahuna?" Wesley started laughing.
"Kahuna? Are you kidding? What kind of ridicules-"
"Kahuna was my grandfather's name," she snapped.
"And it's a lovely name, I have no clue you were from the islands."
"I'm not, my great-grand parents we're just drunk when they named him."
"Aah reminds me to never to go to one of your family reunions."
"Hell, I don't even go." Cordelia smiled.
"Frido? Suggested Wesley.
"Where do we live Mayberry?"
"Buddy?"
"Everyone names their dog Buddy."
"Beethoven?"
"He's not that big, and boring, and old." Cordelia said in her obviously annoyed tone. The pair working on drying the dog by crawling around upright on their knees. So now Cordelia was at his head and was drying it's face.
"How about Zev?" asked Wesley finally using his Watcher intellect.
"Zev? Has a nice cool ring to it, Zev, Zev, Zev"
"Cordelia it means wolf." Wesley replied rolling his eyes.
"Oh ok, well how about it buddy? You like Zev?" asked Cordelia removing the towel from his face, revealing a healthy looking Golden Retriever. He merely barked and licked her face, which made Wesley laugh.
"Hola" said a familiar voice.
"Oh shit." Cordelia muttered.
"Where do we hide him?"
"Umm uuuhh..." Cordelia all she did was step in front of Zev.
"What are you-"?
"Come on!" Cordelia said quickly helping Wesley up with the help of his cane because of his ankle.
"Hey guys-woo what happened here?" asked Charles Gunn.
"Well we were-"
"Watering the plants." said Cordelia using her quick thinking. "Yet Mr. H20 over here put way to much water on the plants, we got into a fight and well ya you know." Cordelia explained. Zev sat behind the two, sitting behind his two new masters loyally. Wes and Cordy were all that blocked Gunn from a major disaster.
"Well I'm goin in, I suggest you guys change before Angel gets up. He might get the wrong idea. I sure as hell did." he mumbled the last part and went around them. Yet when he took a step towards the hotel Cordy and Wes took a step to the side continually blocking Gunn's view of Zev. As he came to the steps he arched a brow. "You two ok?"
"Yes dandy." Wesley said smiling; Gunn still looked suspicious yet went inside anyways.
"I think I love you," sang a voice. "But what am I so afraid of!"
"Oh crap!" Cordelia said, now since they had the time they hid Zev in a bush off to the side.
"Good morning Cordycakes- achoo!" sneezed Lorne.
"You ok Lorne?" asked Cordelia.
"Well we just cleaned out the rats out of achooo Caritas."
"Rats?"
"Yeh, ACHOO, I'm allergic to animal fur. Can't read a thing when I'm achooo sneezing. I must have some of their achooo fur on my clothes achoo!" he sneezed. Cordelia gave Wesley a look. Wesley knew that it meant Lorne was sneezing because of the unseen Zev.
"Maybe you should go inside, Angel could give you some clothes."
"No thanks hunny achoo! I'd rather sneeze to death then achooo wear that man's clothes. Achoo he doesn't know the definition of color achoo!"
"I have been saying that to him for years!" Cordelia exclaimed. Wesley quickly nudged her hard in the elbow. "Oh Yeh, well you better get inside Lorne."
"Yeh Achoo, thanks." and Lorne quickly went in the hotel.
"Ok here." said Cordelia turning to Wesley and picking up her purse, which hadn't been soaked off the floor. "Takes this, go get Zev a leash, and a color. A comb maybe, and some dog food. We can go big shopping for him this weekend."
"But Cordelia I'm"
"Soaking Wet? Yeh here." Cordelia said offering him a plastic bag. "You went to sleep in your clothes last night. I stopped by your apartment this morning got you some clothes." she merely said while going over to the now dry Zev and wrapping a rope around his neck loosely.
"But Cordy-"
"Here" she replied giving him the makeshift leash. "Go"
"Cordelia I don't know the first thing about-"
"Expand your horizons bye!" she said quickly running into the hotel. "I'll cover for you," she said before closing the door.
Zev merely sat at his side and gave a smile moan.
"I have to deal with this daily so don't complain," sighed Wesley, as man and man's best friend walked into the streets of LA.
