Elfbrat18: Hey what's up people?

Whistler: Hi.

Elfbrat18: What's up with you?

Whistler: We're swamped with loads and loads of things to do at home, how can you be so freakin' happy!

Elfbrat18: Because I just had a brainstorm last night. I decided that instead of changing a chapter or two from Break Away, I might as well go and set fire to nearly the whole story and start over!

Whistler: 0.o

Elfbrat18: And I know we said that Yami and Yugi would make their appearance back in the story again REAL SOON, I just had to get this chapter down and out of my head before I start with them.

Whistler: ; She has no idea on what to do with them...

Elfbrat18: Correction! I have a GENERAL idea, but not a SPECIFIC one. Anyways, tell us what you think and throw any suggestions you might have our way.

Whistler: Cause Lord knows we need 'em.

The Dog Pound

"Let's see...you'll need...this, and this, and this..." Willow was constantly running her mouth, running around the current store they were in, grabbing anything and everything that she thought looked cool and tossed onto the ever-growing pile of clothes and accessories that Tea and Rebecca were carrying.

"Really, Willow," Tea mumbled from under a blouse that Willow tossed on her head. "Do you really think I need all of this! I don't think that closet back home can hold all of it!"

Rebecca nearly bumped into a manequin. "Have you even looked at that closet, Tea? It's huge! And, you should know that Willow is addicted to shopping."

"It's like therapy." They heard her say. "And it's a worse addiction that chocolate! Now come on, you have to try these clothes on!"

"But that'll take hours!" Tea whined.

"Exactly, that's why Bill said that we could come into work at 2!" Willow cheered.

"Tea, I think we made a huge mistake, letting Willow go shopping."

"I think so too, Rebecca," Tea whined.

Eventually 2 o'clock rolled around and the three headed back to the restaraunt to begin the start of their summer part-time jobs but not before having to stop back at the house and throw the numerous bags of clothes and things through the front door. Willow protested, but because of lack of time, Tea said that she would wear her new clothes the next time. This was because when Willow goes shopping, the part of her brain that reminds her to check her watch every now and then tends to shut off, but hey, that's not a bad thing. Right?

"We're back!" Willow shouted again. Something Tea learned quickly about her new friend was that she had a big mouth...and Willow would be the first to admit it. Grabbing Tea by the arm, she said, "Come on, I want to introduce you to the rest of the group."

She led Tea to the kitchen, where there were about six guys and two girls running around preparing food. "Hey guys, think yall can stop what you're doing for a second? Got a new girl I want ya to meet."

"A new girl? Oooo, fresh meat.." One said.

"Very funny, Jordan. Tea let me introduce you to the Dogpound. That's Jordan. He likes to tease the new workers. Come to think of it, they all do." Jordan was about as tall as Willow, with short brown hair and brown eyes. Brown eyes that silently said that he was constantly full of shit.

"And this is Rick." Rick was a little taller than Jordan, and he had messy light brown hair and blue eyes that were covered by glasses. Willow whispered to Tea, telling her that Rick had a tendency to flirt with any and every girl that worked there, but it was all in fun.

"Over there is Jason." Jason had dark brown hair that fell to his shoulders and dark green eyes. The gouti, in Rebecca's opinion, was a little much. He seemed like the kind of guy that would kick your ass if you looked at him wrong, but he was the one, as Willow mentioned, that liked to tell dirty jokes.

"That is Ryan." Willow said, pointing to the very tall guy with spikey black hair and 'whiskers' as the girls called them on his chin. Tea learned from just a nod of his head that he was one of the more quiet ones in the group.

"That's Earl, over by the oven." This guy was much older than the others, and slightly overweight, but not much. Come to think of it, he seemed similar to Bill. A big difference was that he was a computer nut, whereas Bill couldn't tell you how to turn the thing on.

"And this is Mikey." Willow said, waving a hand in his direction. Mikey was a little taller than Rebacca was now (A/N: I'll say 5'2"), but he wasn't as tall as Tea. Mikey had long brown hair that fell to his shoulders and had highlights and green eyes. His nickname was 'Shorty' and he spent a lot of his time at the restaraunt mixing the music that was playing or he was filling in as a waiter.

"These two girls are also waitresses. Tea, this is Rachel and that is Kendal." Rachel was about Rebecca's hieght. She had short black hair that reflected blue when light hit it and really light blue eyes, making her seem mysterious. Tea found out that she liked to hit the arcades. Tea wondered briefly what would happen if this woman and the King of Games were to go head to head. Kendal was almost as tall as Ryan. She had long flaming red hair and emerald eyes that stood out. Willow mentioned that Kendal liked to read those fantasy kind of books, as well as romance novels, but her favorite fantasy books were the Harry Potter series, and she was becoming more impatient as she waited for the next book to come out, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

"Guys, this is Tea. Tea, you have just met the Dogpound."

"Why do you call them the Dogpound?"

"Because they act like dogs." Kendal said. Rachel laughed. "Yeah, they're great guys, though. Each one of them will take you under thier wing and treat you like a sister." she added.

"Damn skippy." the guys said at once. "Let's show Tea why we're called the Dogpound!" Jason said, and they all made woofing noises.

"Welcome to the group." Willow said, throwing her arm around Tea's neck. "You'll love it."

Elfbrat18: Aw shit, guess what?

Whistler: Other than the fact that its...(Checks watch)...3:07 am!

Elfbrat18: Besides that. I haven't come up with a name for the restaraunt! Argh! I'll have to add that to my list of things to do!

Whistler: Right...well anyway, while she's burning brain cells trying to think of a name, leave a review. Anyone that can think of a good name will get a surprise from us! Not sure what yet, but it'll be nice! We could still use some more ideas for Tea's new image as well, I've come up with one or two, btu every little bit helps! Alright, I'm going to bed now. Night!
