EviLAngeLOfDarkness: Yeah, poor her!
Worker72: Yep, you're right. Though, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet...
Clifflover: Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing that scene with Fu & Magenta! Seemslike Fu doesn't like Magenta, I know, but don't worry. Things will start to look up soon enough!
Lavenderpaw: Yeah, I see where you're going. I only used a Phoenix 'cuz I liked my friend's idea. I forgot that you had used one until, too late. I posted the story, lol!
Chapter 4: Magenta The Shapeshifter
"Got any threes?" Magenta asked Fu.
"Go fish.." he muttered.
Magenta picked a card off the top of the deck, and a huge grin spread across her face. She put down two threes on the floor.
"Yay! I got it! Do you know what that means, Fuzie?"
Fu sighed and muttered, "You win again."
"It means I win again!" Magenta said, answering her own question. She gathered the cards and shuffled them.
"Are we playing again?" Fu Dog asked, bored.
Just then, Trixie and Spud walked into the shop.
Trixie cupped her hand around her mouth, like a megaphone.
"Hello? Anybody here?" She called out.
"Sorry Fu, Magenta replied, "As much as I'd love to take you up on your offer, I've gotta go help those customers."
She changed into her human form and ran out of the room.
Fu opened his mouth to say something, but then he saw something that made him gasp.
"Magenta, WAIT!" he called.
Magenta whirled around.
"What is it?" she asked impatiently. "Duty calls!"
"Your head, that's what.." Fu replied, and pointed.
"Huh?"
Magenta looked in a mirror and saw that she still had her dog head!
"Ooopse!" she said, and changed it to her human form's. She walked over to the counter where Trixie and Spud were waiting.
"Dude, I've never seen you around here, before." Spud exclaimed when he saw her. "You're like, a hottie!"
Trixie glared at him, then eyed Magenta suspiciously.
"He's right -about not seeing you here before, I mean- Who are you?" she asked.
Magenta laughed.
"Guys it's me, Magenta!"
"Dude, that's not right. Magenta's like, a dog.."
Spud, Magenta's a shapeshifter, rememer?" Trixie asked him a bit impatiently.
"So, this Magenta is actually Magenta the talking doggy?" Spud asked.
"Yes!" Magenta and Trixie chorused.
"Okay, okay! No need to like, get huffy dudes!" Spud replied.
Magenta decided to change the subject.
"So, what do you want? I mean, are you here to shop, or what?" she asked.
"Nope we ain't here to buy." Trixie replied.
"Uh, we're not?" Spud asked. "then uh...why ARE we here?"
Trixie slapped her forehead.
"Yo! Spud! You ALREADY forgot that we came to get Jakey and go to the skate park!"
Spud frowned and said, "Uh...I guess I did.."
Trixie sighed.
"Spud, you are hopeless!" she moaned then turned to Magenta. "Anyways, is Jakey Jake done with his trainin'? We need to get goin' before all the tourists show up!"
"Oh! Sorry! Jake left with Grandpa about an hour and a half ago on an important mission! Fu and I are in charge until then!"
Fu heaved a loud sigh from the other room.
"Well, how long they plan on bein' gone?" Trixie asked.
"2 weeks at the most.."
Spud let out a low whistle. "Harsh!"
"Well, Trixie began, if Jakey Jake's not here, I guess we'll just have to go ourselves. Let's roll, Spud!"
She ran out of the room, but Spud remianed at the counter, staring at Magenta.
"Dude, if you weren't really a dog, I'd TOTALLY go out with you!"
Magenta blushed, and turned away, lost for words.
Just then, Trixie came back into the shop.
"Spud, C'MON!" She dragged him out by the ear.
"Owch! he said, Well, buh-bye, cutie! I'll see ya later- Owch! Maybe we can hang out someti- OWCH!"
After they left, Magenta changed back into a dog and just stood at the counter.
"Okay...That was just too weird!"
Fu Dog had heard the whole thing from the other room, and he walked over to the counter and nodded.
"Yep! That's Spud for ya. Tell him something important, and he'll forget it in about 3 seconds! A gaga goo!"
Magenta laughed, and licked him on the cheek. Fu frowned.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"For finally showing your sense of humor!" she replied and ran out of the room.
"Oh..." Fu Dog said, than he realized what she had meant. "Hey!"
