Chapter 101
This idea is all thanks to one of my reader's avenger44.
(Ketchum Park)
Lincoln is walking his dog Charles through the snowy park and with him was Lana and Lucy.
"You know, I'm surprised that you wanna tag along Luce. I thought you'd be busy talking to your ghost friends" said Lana.
"Sigh, I would. But they all have some important Christmas things to attend to" replied Lucy.
Lincoln, Lana and Charles were confused by this.
"Okay" replied Lincoln.
"By the way, why couldn't Patriot come with us?" asked Lucy.
"He seemed occupied with something else back home. I don't know what it is but he kept looking to the distance" said Lincoln.
(The Loud House)
Yup, the Eagle is just looking ominously towards the distance, almost like he's waiting for something.
(Back to Ketchum Park)
They all continue they're lovely stroll through the park, until Charles whimpers to Lincoln about something.
"What's wrong boy?" asked Lincoln.
Lana could tell what it is. "Lincoln, he needs to do his business and I mean the number one and number two."
"Gross" replied Lucy.
Lincoln looked around and saw a tree with a bush. "How about there?"
Charles sees this and runs off as Lincoln removes his leash.
"Well, I'm going to sit by those benches" said Lucy as she pulls out her poetry book.
"We'll be waiting for Charles" said Lincoln.
"Can I go see what he pooped out?" asked Lana.
Lincoln sighs. "Sorry Lans. But maybe we should give him his privacy."
Lana groaned. "Fine."
Meanwhile Charles had just finished doing his own thing, but then he hears growling and sees an angry white dog a few inches bigger than him with some black spots.
Charles quickly runs out of the bushes and hides behind Lincoln. "What the heck?!"
"What's the matter boy?" asked Lana.
Then they spot the dog coming out of the bushes barking at them.
But the dog immediately stops when he sees Lincoln and runs to him, but this only scares Charles who hides behind Lana instead.
"Ajax? What are you doing here?" asked Lana.
"Ajax? Where are you boy?" they all turned to see it was none other than Lincoln's lover Jordan Rosato.
"Over here beautiful!" yelled Lincoln.
Jordan smiled to see that her boyfriend had found her dog and runs towards them.
"Thank goodness, I removed him from his leash so he can do his business. I didn't expect him to find you guys here" replied Jordan.
"No worries, but I think he may have scared Charles a bit" replied Lincoln.
Jordan looks to her dog angrily. "Bad Ajax! You do not scare friendly family dogs!" Ajax whimpers and tries to look innocent.
But it doesn't work on Jordan. "Sorry boy, that trick worked on me once when I was ten. But not anymore."
Ajax, sighs and is put back on the leash. "Sorry about Ajax. He can be very territorial when it comes to these kinds of things."
"No worries, as long as there was no fighting" said Lincoln. He then puts the leash onto Charles.
They then proceed with their stroll together and meet up with Lucy. Though Charles was not comfortable with Ajax being around and Ajax did not like Charles at all.
Then they all take a break by the frozen lake and watch as some kids are skating.
"By the way, why wasn't Ajax with you guys during the big family Christmas get together party?" asked Lana.
"He accidently ate all of the spaghetti that we were planning to bring, so we put him on time out" replied Jordan in annoyance.
"Seriously?! He ate all of it?" asked Lucy.
"Two large trays. Nothing else left behind" replied Jordan.
They all look towards her dog who was digging through snow.
"Wow! And I thought Lynn had a big appetite" said Lincoln.
"You guys have no idea" said Jordan.
They all start talking about what they are all gonna be doing for New Year's.
Just then Ajax stops digging and smells the air. Charles also sniffs the air.
Both dogs look for the where the smell is coming from and sees a truck full of T-Bone steaks ready to leave the nearby butcher shop.
Both dogs looked at each other, even though one was scared of the other and the other hated the other. They both agreed, time for some treats! Big red meaty treats!
Ajax and Charles both snuck around the corner, luckily they're owners had no idea they were gone.
Ajax spots a man who was going to deliver the T-Bone steaks out in a crate and into the truck, he was too stunned to even move or think.
Charles sees the man close it and then sees the trash can.
Charles runs to the trash can and kicks it, making the trash can roll and land right in front of the truck.
The man gets out and has to pick up all of the trash.
Ajax was impressed and pets Charles head, they both go to the back of the truck and try to pry it open, but they had no luck.
In Charles mind. "Sure wish Cliff was here."
(The Loud House)
Cliff is asleep while listening to more of Luan's new puns. Even her rabbit Garry fell asleep next to Cliff.
(Back with the dogs)
Charles gets another idea and whispers it to Ajax.
They both grin and nod in agreement,
They both hide underneath the truck and wait.
The Delivery man places the garbage can back in its place. "Stupid cats must've knocked this thing down!"
But before he gets back to his truck, Charles uses his foot to trip the delivery man and he lands face first onto a brown paper bag with tape.
Ajax is fast so he uses his speed to grab the keys.
They both high five each other and head around the back.
Ajax gets onto Charles back and uses the keys to successfully open the back of the truck.
They are both amazed at what they see!
Boxes filled with T-Bone Steaks, Tender Loin cuts, Ribs and mostly Bacon!
They hit the Jackpot!
But then the delivery man finally removes the paper bag. "Dang stupid trash!"
He then sees his keys on the ground at the back of the truck and goes to them.
Charles sees this and hides underneath the truck, but Ajax trips and falls into one of the boxes.
The man picks up his keys and sees the back of his truck open. "What the heck? I thought I closed you!"
He then closes and locks the back of the truck and it starts to drive off.
Charles realizes that Ajax was still in there, so he takes to action and chases after the truck.
He needed to think of something quick, he needed a diversion to slow it down. "Dang it! Sure wish Geo was here!"
(The Loud House)
Geo is playing cars with Hops and Izzy and Geo wins, which ends in an argument with the pets.
(Back to Charles)
Charles then sees something that could work.
Charles leaps onto a wooden plank that catapults a ball of snow that lands directly onto the wind shield of the truck. "Whoa! What the heck is this?!"
The truck then immediately stops and almost tips over to its side.
Charles then sees the driver come out and clear the snow off his wind shield.
Charles sees the keys on his belt and thinks of a way to get them without him knowing, he knows he's not fast enough. "Darn it! Wish Waltz was here right now!"
(The Loud House)
Waltz is relaxing on a beach chair with some shades, truth is he's near the fireplace keeping warm, while Lori and Leni are watching the Dream Boat rerun.
(Back to Charles)
He then has an idea.
The man clears the snow off his truck and is about to get back to the driver's seat, but he gets hit in the face by an unexpected snowball.
He staggers trying to figure out what was happening, Charles sees his opportunity and grabs the keys, the man falls into the snow. "Dang it!"
Charles leaps onto the lock and unlocks it.
He opens it to reveal Ajax, packing once box with meat from each box.
Ajax is happy to be free and not in trouble, both dogs see the man about to get up from the snow.
So with their combined strengths they drag the box out and hide it in an alleyway.
They then proceed to close the back and lock it.
Then they toss the keys to the snow in front of the man and run off and hide.
The delivery man gets up and looks around in anger. "Stupid kids!" he then picks up his keys and drives off.
Charles and Ajax smile and high five each other.
They both look to the box and drool, it was time to enjoy the spoils of hardship!
(Thirty minute later)
A loud burp is heard coming from the alley.
Ajax and Charles hop out of the box, feeling full and satisfied.
They both then realize. Lincoln, Lana, Lucy and Jordan!
They both head back to the park at break neck speed.
Then some cats head to the box and eat what was left behind.
Lincoln, Lana, Lucy and Jordan look around for their dogs.
"Where are they?" asked Lincoln.
"How could we lose track of them?" said Jordan with concern.
"I hope they're not lost" said Lana with sadness.
"Sigh, sure wish my spirit friends could us right now" said Lucy.
Just then they hear some barking and spot Charles and Ajax running towards them.
They also run towards they're dog's and hug them.
"Where have you been boy?" said Lana hugging Charles.
"You got us worried sick Charles" said Lincoln.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!" said Jordan hugging Ajax.
"Why do they both smell like Lynn after she eats at Burpin' Burger?" asked Lucy.
They also smelled some meat on them.
Charles and Ajax were getting nervous.
"Huh, no clue" replied Jordan.
"Maybe they both had the smell with them the whole time" said Lana.
She then sniffs both dogs. "Ah! Sure smells nice."
Charles and Ajax sigh in relief. They don't know a thing of what they just did.
"Well, we should get going now. Mind if we tag along?" said Jordan.
"Sure" replied Lincoln.
They all exit the park and throughout the walk to the exit, they noticed just how calm Charles and Ajax were, they weren't upset with one another. They were like friends now.
And they both almost chase after a squirrel, but Lincoln and Jordan stop them.
As they make their way through the town, they run into a man in his thirties with a black mustache and buzz cut hair wearing brown winter clothing and boots. He was closing the butcher shop.
"Hey there Mr. Ravetto, closing now?" asked Lana.
The man chuckles and has a New York accent. "You know it kiddo. I wasn't really planning to open up for the day, I was just here to make sure the delivery guy came to pick up all of the meat that went bad. He's already off to have it dumped."
"Dang it, sure wish I was here to get some" replied Lana.
Lincoln, Lucy and Jordan thought it sounded gross.
"Please don't Lana" said Lincoln.
"You're brothers got a point, eating that stuff could lead to some bad indigestion. Well I gotta go now, have a nice day kids" said Mr. Ravetto.
"Well, let's get going" said Jordan.
But then they see Charles and Ajax weren't moving at all.
"Charles?" asked Lincoln.
"Ajax? Something wrong boy?" asked Jordan.
"Are they okay?" asked Lana.
"Why are they sweating?" asked Lucy.
Then both dogs run to the nearest garbage can and throw up and joining hem were some street cats.
Lincoln, Jordan, Lana and Lucy had no clue what was going on.
"Looks like we're taking you to the vet Charles" said Lincoln.
"You too Ajax" said Jordan.
"Now that is so cool!" said Lana.
The two dogs have learned to be friendly to each other and also learned to never take bad meat ever again!
I would like to thank avenger44 for this idea, I hope this was okay, leave a review and tell me what you all think.
