Part 7

LW: *Hums to himself as he reads the newspaper, walking into the studio, and is met up with an mysterious individual in a cloak* Hmm?

?: I've managed to fix the translocator-inator. Not sure how the wires got all jumbled up, but it should work smoothly this time.

LW: Good to hear. Thanks doc.

?: Don't mention it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with a certain green animal with a fedora and would rather not have to deal with him away from my workspace.

LW: Understood. Safe travels. * The man leaves with a jingle snippet playing the moment he mentioned the animal in question* I know asking him of all people to fix this thing was probably not a smart idea, but I'm on a budget, and he has experience in tinkering with tech of any kind.

Charlie: Glad to see you back, *under his breath* at a smaller hiatus than last time.

LW: yeah yeah, I am aware of the time passed, but between my winter classes, and the insanity that is my life, I have my reasons for why this took so long. Besides, (looks towards Charlie, Itchy, Carface, and Killer) considering we're having mardi gras parades going on right now, I thought id make things nostalgic for everyone.

The guys: *Gives him a flat look, that exclaims 'Seriously?'*

LW: *Ignors them* Anywho, with the Doc finally fixed the teleporter, we can finally bring PrimeAffinity here, literally this time.

Belladonna: You sure hiring 'Him' was a wise move?

LW: Like I said, I am on a bit of a budget, and he was the only one with any technical knowledge who was available and willing to work on it. Besides, he invented the thing, so he should be the one to fix it.

Belladonna: If you say so.

LW: Anyway *Looks toward PA* you ready to join the real world?

PA: What do you think?

LW: *Walks to the machine console, and flips a few switches, and presses a few buttons, before PA disappears from the room* Alright, when I flip this switch, they'll appear in their physical form.

Everyone else minus DB02: *Hiding behind different furniture and props*

LW: *Flatly* Loving the confidence ya'll. Well, here goes something…*Flips the switch, and a blinding light shines in the center of the room*

PA: Well, this is a thing…

Everyone: *After the light dies down, they see PA in the center of the room, as a brown-haired Yorkshire Terrier.*

LW: Um…is that not how you normally look?

PA: Short answer: no. Long answer: I was more of a mix breed, but I was certainly taller than this, but I suppose it's better than being a floating ball of light for the entirety of this series.

LW: Fair enough. Alright to the room everyone!

*Everyone walks to the main studio room and sits down wherever*

LW: Considering we only have one response from the previous chapter, I'll come up with a few questions of my own. Also, before I forget, I learned a new trick.

PA: *voice slowly morphing into a Scottish accent* That bein'? What the? Now me voice is actin' stupid now?

DB02: *Shrugs in response*

LW: Observe! *Snaps his fingers, and is consumed in a plume of smoke, obscuring everyone's vision*

*Everyone starts coughing for a moment before the smoke dissipates, and everyone is now staring at a brown-haired whippet with a silver chain around its neck*

LW: Now I don't feel like the odd one out.

Everyone: *Blinks*…

LW: What?

Annabelle: Um…Is there a particular reason as to why you chose a whippet as your form?

LW: To be frank, it was either going to be this or a Malamute, so yeah…I have my reasons.

Annabelle: I see… *She, Sasha, Bess, and Charlie glance to Belladonna, who hasn't said anything yet, with a knowing look*

LW: Anyway, back to business. *Pulls the letter from the desk* This request comes from someone by the name of Vburro08. They ask the entire cast: Have you seen the Homeward Bound movies? If so, who's your favorite character and why?

Charlie: Homeward Bound? What's that?

*Carface, Killer, and Itchy have similar confused faces to the question.*

LW: Oh, right this popped up around 1993, ya'll would've popped back into the living world about 6 years later. Alright I guess I'll need to bring you four up to speed later on. Sasha?

Sasha: I would have to say Shadow would be my favorite character, as to why is because of his nature in general. Being the eldest of the group, he has to reign in Chance and Sassy quite a few times to ensure that they make it home safely in order to get to their owners in one piece.

Bess: While I can agree with that, I honestly would have to say that Chance was my favorite one. I'll admit, he can be somewhat unlikeable in the beginning, especially after what he did to the wedding cake in the first third of the movie, but when he first thought he lost Sassy at the waterfall, and when he thought he had to leave Shadow behind in the pit, it showed how much he has grown since the start of their journey, and its from those experiences that would help him in the long run.

Sasha: Fair enough, but can we also agree that those bear cubs were adorable? Nature shouldn't look so cute, especially if said nature tends to attack like that mother bear did.

LW: Fair Enough. Annabelle, Belladonna, You 're consensus on this ?

Annabelle : While we both have seen the movies in question, we don't have a strong opinion on any of the characters. They all have their individual strengths and weaknesses to their characters, and all play an important part to the overall arc of the story.

Belladonna: That, and honestly, I could really care less, considering this is a movie.

Annabelle: So, says the person who was baling her eyes out when they thought they were going to have to leave shadow behind when he said, "Sometimes you need to learn to say goodbye".

Belladonna: Quiet you! That came out of nowhere and I was eating something spicy at the time.

Annabelle: *Shakes her head with a shrug* Tell yourself whatever you to help you sleep at night cousin.

LW: Let's keep the dog fighting to the professionals, yeah? Anyway, besides Spartan-626 saying its alive as if he was Dr. Frankenstein, that's all of the guest questions, so here come mine.

Charlie: Oh boy, here we go. *rolls his eyes* What insightful questions will he ask this time?

LW: Thank you for volunteering BTW.

Charlie: ****.

LW: Charlie, I'm going to need you to level with me here when I ask the following question. You literally just got busted out of the pound thanks to itchy. You have a good suspicion that Carface royally set you up that landed you in there in the first place. Why was your first immediate reaction to run back over there? Don't get me wrong, you met with Marie and helped her out, despite dying twice in a row because of it, but besides that in mind, why risk dealing with the person that clearly was trying to get rid of you?

Charlie: Well, to be honest, partly was because I put about a much work into that place as he did, and I really wasn't going to take him trying to push me out lying down without a fight.

Carface: Until you were laid out by the car that is. *Cackles for a little bit*

Charlie: *Choosing to ignore him* That and Humility and common sense was kind of thrown out the window when I saw the mess that the place was turned into back then.

Belladonna, Carface, Killer, Itchy, Sasha, and Annabelle: 'Back then'?

Charlie: *Flat look* Just feeling the love guys. Really am here.

LW: Eh, hindsight is 20/20, so I'd say that's fair.

Charlie: Thank you.

LW: Still doesn't explain you chugging at the mardi gras parade party which lead to your first death.

Charlie: *Gives me a flat look*

LW: Anyway, this one is going to be directed at Killer.

Killer: Oh boy here we go.

LW: It's not going to be that messed up of a question. I am really curious on how you managed to land a wife and kid while being stuck around Carface and Belladonna this entire time.

Killer: Well, me and Stella hooked up a few years after Carface died the first time around, and my son Rex came around after the second time around with Red. But with my work around them, I haven't had much of a chance to see them as of late. But they know that I do care for them quite a bit and that I do think of them often. (I am unsure as to the name of the wife and kid based on the brief introduction in the Christmas movie.)

Carface: you do realize that I wouldn't mind you meeting with them every once and a while right? If you have a family, you should spend it with them. After all, and do think about this very clearly considering how things turned out with me, do you want a life for your son where he doesn't have a dad in his life growing up or when he gets to the age when he gets adopted?

Belladonna: Not to mention, while I may be the emissary of darkness, I don't say that you can't be with your family. What you do on your free time is up to you.

Killer: Thanks guys.

Annabelle: That's an interesting side to see of you cousin.

Belladonna: Look, I may have a black heart in general, but I do have a heart. I wouldn't deprive someone of a parent, even on work related reasons.

LW: That's quite the change from what I witnessed in the Christmas Carol movie.

Belladonna: If you recall, in that movie, I was taking control of all dogs in their homes, not just kids or parents.

LW: Alrighty then. Anyway, we are running out of time for the show today, so this is LazerWing, Signing off. *Cellphone goes off with the Dr. Doof jingle* The hell? *Answers the phone* Hello? *Distinct muttering heard* Yeah Doc, what's up? *More muttering* And like usual the machine disappeared, or in this case blew up, and now whatever plan you had in mind just went up in smoke. *More muttering* And if I may ask, what was the reason this time? *More muttering* Gnomes again? Really? You didn't learn you lesson the first 3-5 times you tried this? *More muttering again* Alright, try to not get yourself killed please. *More muttering* Alright, tell Vanny I said hi, yeah? *More muttering* Alright bye. *Final muttering and hangs up* Good lord that man.

DB02: It's weird how chummy you are with him, and his family, nonetheless.

LW: I'll explain on a later date, as of right now, I need aspirin right now.
