CHAPTER SEVEN:Kit finds a home
Kit seemed so happy to be with Tramp,but when they walked by the fancy neighorhood she whould always look to a certian window,her tail wagging as she watched whatever was going on inside.Tramp watched this one day and looked at her. "Do you want to still be a JunkYard Dog Kit?" He asked watching her curiously.
>
She looked at him and nodded. "Yes.of course I do,I just like watching this one particular window.The humans inside are nice."
>
"Well im glad you like them.Surley you dont want to be on a chain though compared to this life?" Tramp said smiling and laughing at the same time pushing the matter aside.
>
Kit frowned looking at Tramp."And what if I did!" She said acidly.
>
Tramp almost tripped backwards. "I didn't mean that in a bad way if you did.I just dont..want to you see you hurt." Kit smiled her anger deflating very quickly,and giggled. "You'r so Adorable.Thats why we were made for each other."
>
Tramp chouldnt go on with this much longer,his continous whouldnt allow it.
>
Stupied contontious..why wont you let me break up with her!
>
He answered his own questioned.It sounded like his old friend Bud.And he was scolding Tramp. Because you know its wrong.You'd break her heart!
>
Why do I care about that?
>
Again he answered his own question. Because for one:You were jelolous when you found Princess and Buster were going to have puppies. Tramp shook his head.Kit looked at Tramp oddly. "You OK Tramp?"
>
He nodded. "Yea,I was just having a flash back of my old friend..."
>
"And who was your old friend?"
>
"I..dont think you knew him...his name was Bud..he was kinda a replacement for my father,anyway.." He stopped as his eyes grew somewhat glassy remembering a flashback.
>
FLASH BACK:
"Cmon Tramp how many times do I gotta tell you,go in one pacific area!" Bud scolded a very small Tramp.
>
He winned. "Im sorry Bud...you said I chould go whever."
>
"No," Bud corrected him. "I said pick a spot.No matter you know better now dont you."
>
The puppy nodded.Bud chould never stay mad at Tramp.Those eyes worked everytime.
>
end flashback
Kit's voice was distant now. "...Tramp? Can you hear me Tramp? Are you OK pal?"
>
He shook himself. "Yes im sorry Kit i was having a memory kick." Tramp smiled and Kit returned it with a nuzzle.The knot in Tramps stomach tightened like a nuce around a doomed mans neck.
>
When they got back to the trainyard they found Buster and Princess having a argument.
>
"But..Princess!"
>
"No buts.Its over pal,maybe you are my puppies father but nothing more.Were nothing now." Princess said glaring at Buster,who sank back his ears drooping a little.
>
"Cmon Princess.. I love you!"
>
She glared at him,and wispered waspishly. "Then why did someone tell me otherwise?"
>
"..Who...who told you?"
>
"Her!" Shrieked Princess pointing to a female dog emerging from the fence.
>
"He told me he was single.." The new dog choking back her tears.Tramp and Kit cut into the coversation.
>
"Whats going on?" Tramp interupted.
>
"Tramp!" Princess yelled slightly getting more cheerful. "Tell..this...this.,." She stopped trying to think of a word,but chouldnt find one. "Yell at Buster for cheating on me..and while im pregenent with his puppies!" Princess began to sob uncontrollably,and Kit growled at Buster.
>
"Why did you do that!" Kit glanced at Tramp who nodded yes;so she yelled at Buster who recoiled. "You were soppose to love her!" Tramp stayed next to Kit but didnt say anything,but inwardly he agreed with Kit.
>
Buster sighed sadly. "Im sorry my friends...Please forgive mee.." He looked at Princess pleadingly,then at the other dog,who as hard as she chould swipped Buster in the face with her claws,then tossed dirt in his face and walked away with her nose up.
>
Everyone now looked at Tramp,expecting him to punish Buster for this horrible thing. "You still havent said why." The Dalmation said suddenly.Buster's ears drooped. "I...dont have a reason..." This got everyone more mad;Tramp took a deep breath and counted to ten under his breath. "One...Two...Three...Four...Five...Six...Seven...Eight...Nine...Ten..."
>
"If you ever do this again..." Tramp said seriously glaring at Buster. "You will be thrown out,and never be able to come back.As it is you dont even have a explanation for your actions...And thats unexceptable!" Tramp said his voice rising in a crescendo of anger. "Get out of here Buster...For.." He stopped thinking and Kit wispered into his ear.
>
"...For Five days.Dont come near here..." Was all Tramp managed to get out.
>
Without a word,Buster turned around and walked away.
>
Once his tail had dissapeared from view everyone cheered at Tramp;who swelled with detached pride.He was glad he told Buster what to do.He deserved whatever he got out on the streets.
>
Then again... The voice inside his head spoke. What if he got hurt?... It whould be my fault. He frowned,and the other conscious had its say.It must have looked very odd with Tramp just sitting there frowning,and turning his head to side and muttering to himself but he didnt care.But he did cheat on Princess...and with his puppies too! And he didnt even have a good reason,none at all! The otherside cut in;It was like a continious battle over this descion.
>
But he made a mistake,do the right thing and go after him! You know you want to! Tramp decided to go and have a talk with Buster,if he chould find him that is.But something else happened.
"Tramp." Kit said softly. "Can we go talk...alone?"
>
Tramp brought himself out of staring into space and looked at Kit "Sure...whats it about?"
>
She smiled. "You'll seeeee,its a secret!" And she scurried off and he ran after her.
>
"What secret chould she have for me now?" Tramp said to himself.
>
Then it hit him like a train.What if she was pregnent as well? What was he gonna do about that? He began sweating,and began panting.Kit looked at him and nuzzled him. "So whats this secret you have?" Tramp said smiling at her.
>
Tramp readied himself for the impact of it.
>
"I want a home." She said finnally. Tramp shook his head looking at her.
>
"What?"
>
"I said i want a home...Im pregnent and i want our pups to be safe...I can't risk this street life...I need to be safe..." She took a deep breath. "And i want you to come with me."
>
Tramp sat down.He was right about one thing,but he had no clue she wanted to go to a family.A family that whould get mad at Kit for having a accident on the floor,then chaining her up.Or not being there all day.He looked into her eyes.She was smiling.
>
He whould try it for a few days,to support Kit until the puppies were born,then maybe him and Kit whould go back to the train yard.So for the time being he agreed.
>
But it wasnt going to go the way he planned.
>
"OK." He said smiling at her. "I know the perfect place for us to stay for awhile." And he began marching purposfully to the rich side of town,where there was a two story house with a fench around the front,and various ornaments around the front yard.At the flag pole waved a british flag.He and Kit both trodded up to the front step and Tramp scratched the front door.
>
There was a sound of approaching feet,and a door opened and a little girl and boy both were staring at the dogs.
>
They started yelling happily,and the girl went to grab the father who was reading the paper and smoking a pipe to the front door.
>
"Look at the Doggies Daddy!" The little girl yelled excidedily. "I want both of em'!"
>
The man studied both dogs,then he opened the screen door and bent down looking at Kit.Then looked from Tramp to Kit. "This girls pregnent!" He announced,and the little boy giggled.He called to someone inside. "Barbra dear...come here..."
>
She called back. "Whats wrong Bruce?" Barbra came to the door and looked at both dogs,then to her kids,who looked at her pleadingly.
>
"C'mon Mommmyyy," Both children cried in unison tugging at the mothers dress.
>
The mother sighed and looked at Bruce,who stood up and wispered to his wife. "This girl is a few weeks pregnent...we cant leave her out on the streets..."
>
"But thats a stray Bruce!" The women wispered back. "What if,"
>
"It's not going to bite the children,neither is vicious,or madd.And it'd make the kids happy." Barbra sighed and motioned for everyone to come in.
>
Those kids better stay off this fur. Tramp said eyeing the kids,and following them into the house.It shut behind them.
