The Tramp.Prequel to Lady and the tramp
(To the readers who have read my Lion King works,i have not forgotton about that,ive gotten a really bad case of writers block on that,so i decided to switch to another story. :) )
chapter one:The beggining
You all might know the story of Lady And the Tram.A mutt finds a prissed up collie.Then they fall in love.But what happened before he even knew who she was?Well this is it. Tramps father was like his son:A street dog,his mother(named Maddy,the father Patch).Patch and Maddy had fallen in love and had had a son,and named him Tramp because well thats what both the parents were.But after giving birth to little Tramp,both Patch and Maddy were mistaken one night as rabid dogs,and were therefore shot.Even after they found out it was a mistake,it was too late to save them and poor Tramp was left alone.
On the night they were killed,the poor pup was left in a old barrel to defend for himself.Luck though,seemed to be there that night,because a older golden retrever took him in,and raised him as his own for awhile,to show him the rules of the street.And until he was old enough to defend for himself.
"There is only one rule of the street." He always said.And Little Tramp whould always finish it.
"Every dog for himself." Tramp said smiling his small gray tail wagging.
"Thats right Tramp." Bud(The retriver) said smiling. "Now have I shown you the JunkYard Dogs?"
"No." Tramp said frowning and sitting down looking curiously at him.
"Good.Your not yet old enough to meet em'."Bud said looking at Tramp with those enormous blue eyes.
"But..who are they?" The pup persisted smiling. Bud glanced at Tramp and shook his head. "No.Not telling...Nowww What say we get something to eat eh?"
This perked up the pup,making him forget about the JunkYard whowatsit.Bud of course being the oldest dog in town,knew every single alley way,and back street to avoid the annoying dog catcher,who by the way whould grab any dog without a collar.But Bud once again,taught Tramp how exactly to avoid the stupied human.
On this day Bud was going over the basics. "Now my friend." He stated comming to a halt next to a fence and bending low seeing the horse and carrage strolling up the muddy street.
Both dogs stayed behind the fence until the whistling man,the horses and the carrage dissappeared around the corner.But it stopped when the rider spotted a small pug and grabbed his net and walked twords it and scooped it up.The Pug started yelping,but he chouldnt get out.The Dog Catcher scopped up the dog and opened the back,and tossed the pug inside,and stuck the peg firmly inside the hole.
Seeing this,Bud ran over to the caged pup and stood on the step with his hind legs and grabbed the top of the beg with his teeth and began prying it out.The door creeked open and the pug leaped out. "Gee thanks buddie!" The pug yelled happily jumping up and down. "I thought i was done fore there!" He began leaping around.Tramp giggled watching the pug.
"Yea its ok pal,now get outta here and becareful." Bud said smiling,then turned away and walked back to Tramp. "OK,now ready for something to eat?" Tramp nodded wagging his tail,his tounge hanging out. Kid...your one in a million. Bud thought to himself smiling.He nodded motioning Tramp to follow the older dog.He did so.
"This.." Bud said proudly stepping up to a small restraunt. "Is Tonys.The best Itilian restrauant in town."
"What is itilian?" Tramp questioned frowning. "Itilian...is...is...thats what the owner is!" Bud recovered quickly. "Now i have a special entrance this way.Tonys a nice guy.Young,best food around."
Both dogs made their way around the back,and Bud began to bark loudly to get the attention of the people inside.A man with a round belly and a mustache' came to the door,and seeing Bud promply yelled to his friend Joe. "Joe! Bringa me the best bones you got! We got a new pooch." A thiner man came to the door and looked at Tramp and smiled and tossed both dogs a bone. "Here you goa pal."
Tramp scampered over to the bone and grabbed it,and promply began chewing it. "Bud...you are the best friend a dog chould have."
"As are you Tramp." Bud said fondly. "Ive taken you as a son i chould never have...well because i was..." He muttered under his breath nutered. Bud shivered and stood and motioned to the pup. "Lets go home pal."
"I thought we didnt have a home Bud." Tramp said raising a eyebrow trotting after the retriver.
"We dont..but if we didnt call something home what whould we call it?" He said wisely looking over his shoulder.
"It." Tramp said running now to catch up. Bud burst out laughing. "It? Now why,kid whould you call it..'It'?"
"Because," Tramp started trying to find words. "Because thats what it is really.We cant call everywhere 'Home' now can we? So therefore we should call the train yard or that Zoo or wherever we spend the night tonight. 'IT'...Er was that good?"
"Acutally i can see where your comming from.But you chouldnt find the right words right?" The Tramp nodded sitting down and scratching his ear and then shaking it so his ears made a flopping sound. "Right,I dont know how to put it in words."
"Hmmm,well lets see." Bud said thinking hard. "Right,i got it.Since a home is for places where people and dogs and other animals stay and love,we cant call our place 'Home' because we dont love where we stay.And theres no collar to keep us in.That about the tree you were barking up?"
Tramp nodded.
"OK thats taken care of.Now lets to to...uh IT."
With that,both dogs set off for home..IT.But the night wasnt over yet.The night was still young.And watching in the night was a old enemy of Buds.
