As Eds were taken by an avalanche of fluff dalmatian pups to the park they weren't expecting them to take them in the instant... Well, Ed didn't mind that though.
After they finally are freed from the avalanche of the pups. They were feeling dizzy and had almost tarnished not to mention they look like they survived the unexpected, except for Ed as he chuckled goofily who didn't found that bad.
"Let's do it again!" Ed said with a joyful smile. Only to gain a groan from Eddy and Double D who were laying on the ground being dizzy after the Trigger Word avalanche thing.
"Uugh..." Eddy groaned standing up. "Talk about a tsunami of the many pups..."
"Are you two alright?" Dylan asked as he and Dolly came to them.
"We're fine star dog," Eddy replied with a touch of sarcasm.
"Looks like it's not easy now to escape puppy wave eh, shorty?" Dolly commented with teasing smirk.
"Can it, Floppy!" Eddy said making Dolly frown at that nickname, but then again she cannot be surprised since he called her floppy, doesn't mean she can't call him back by his short height.
Double D looked around and notices some of the pups were playing after he gotten off from the dizziness. Looking around and was quite amazed by the scenery of a park. He thought for a moment and looked at Dylan.
"Why dont we go with a groups?" Double D suggested. "You can show me around the park, while Dolly could do the same with Ed and Eddy."
"I guess it isn't that bad idea." Dylan replied. "Ed likes to play with pups, but I'm not sure about Eddy."
"I'm pretty sure they'll be fine. They just need to somehow get along."
"I hope you're right."
"Don't worry, Stardog" Eddy said with confidence in his voice. "Me and Ed can handle it with Dolly. We're grown up teens afterall!"
That response from Eddy about 'grown up' made Dolly snort trying to contain laughter until she decided to pretend that she didnt hear that with whistling and looking around as Eddy looked at her with glare that could also say: 'Don't you dare joke about my height.' or something in the sense.
"Me and Eddy will be best pupsitters Dylan!" Ed said in happy as he hugs Dylan very tightly in bear hug.
"T-That's really g-Great Ed," Dylan said trying to handle yellow humans strenght. "But can you give me a breath you're squeezing to tiiiight...!"
"Oops, Sorry." Ed said as he let go of Dylan from his hug. Dylan wheeze and panted after ed released him from the hug.
"Are you ok, Dylan?" Genuinely concerned Double D asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Dylan said "Just remind me to be careful with... You know what."
It wasn't hard for them to realize what Dylan meant. A hug is one of the trigger words no doubt. They didn't mind the hug, but many pups piling on them might cause them suffocation. Perhaps if they only get used to those things maybe they wouldn't even mind. Double D nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, I will." Double D said. "Shall we go look around?"
Dylan nodded and both he with Double D walked around the park and decided to have some sort of conversation while walking.
Ed was tackled by the one and only Dizzy and Dee Dee. Ed only laughed in joy as he was happy to see them.
"Hi, Ed!" Dee Dee and Dizzy greeted they're new made human friend.
"Hello!" Ed said with a goofy smile happy to see them.
"Wanna play tag with us again?" Dizzy asked Ed.
"Ed loves to play tag again!" Ed said in joy. It made Dizzy and Dee Dee cheer that they have a playmate.
"Meh guess I join," Eddy said. "It's better than doing nothing particular."
"Don't mind me joining." Dolly said "I still have the energy to even run. Besides no one beats me here."
At that words Eddy laughed at Dolly's remark saying:
"BAHAHAHA! I think you mean no one beats me, Floppy!"
"Nope. I meant what I said. No one beats me."
Then with a stare of determination, they touched their foreheads together as in pushing each other like two deers using antlers pushing their opponent
"Oooh, It's SOOOOO ON!" Eddy said with a stare of determination. "Whoever gets many tags in 15 minutes is the winner!"
"You're ON!" Dolly replied to him with confidence, yet determined to defeat him. For Dizzy, Dee Dee and not to mention our funny goof, Ed it's a cool idea since they have another two players for playing tag. Eddy set up the timer and the first one who is tagging was Ed and the game had officially begun.
Meanwhile with Double D and Dylan...
They were walking through the park. Double D was quite enjoying this walk. He always was protective, but also positive about nature despite being someone who likes to be clean all the time.
"Seems like you're enjoying yourself," Dylan noted looking at Double D.
"Of course, Dylan." Double D replied to him with a smile. "Haven't been to a park since our journey to London. It's a quite pleasant place there in Camden Town."
"Oh believe me. Many things happening in Camden Town than just in the park."
They've been walking and talking for some minutes until Dylan hears someone calling him.
"Hey D'Dog!"
Double D and Dylan turned around and notice an Irish red fox with one golden tooth.
"Oh! Hey Fergus." Dylan said with a friendly greeting walking with Double D towards him. "What's up?"
"Nothing much." Fergus said before looking at Double D. "I see you guys got human with you."
"You bet," Dylan replied. "This is Double D. He's our housemate with his friends. They are going to live with us for a time being."
"I see..." Fergus said. "Well, I must say I'm jealous. Someone who can take care of the house and you guys. It's an interesting idea... But not for me. I'm more into being free and wild. Being in the house is not my thing."
"Well, he did help me with chores."**
"That's what all pets do in the house."
"And EXACTLY What do you mean by calling humans 'PETS'."
Fergus looked at Double D with Shock Expression. He was staring at him with a disapproving frown. How could that fox just tell him that humans are 'pets'?! Fergus slowly looked at Dylan and stammered:
"Y...Yo... D-did that human just...?"
"Understood what you said?" Dylan asked. "Yes, he did."
Fergus was still in shock. He didn't expect to see human understanding him. He calmed down a bit as he took few deep breaths.
"That's a lot to take in..." fox muttered and looked at Double D. "Uuh... Sorry if I offend you about that. I guess I will go now."
With that said They said farewell. Double D thought it will be alright to take a breather as he sits down on a bench, while Dylan sat next to him.
"Hey, Dylan." Double D asked. "What Fergus meant by calling humans pets?"
Dylan looked at Double D confused. Didn't he know that animals call them pets just as humans calling animals like that too?
"Well Double D," Dylan responded. "I ask you this: Why humans call animals who lives with them in the house 'pets'?"
"...Fair point." Double D replied a bit ashamed. He realizes that there are similarities between animals and humans culture.
"It's ok. Let me just explain about our culture in London, since you're new to this stuff."
Double D agreed with a nod and then Dylan started explaining about the culture in the animal world of London...
Later with Eddy and Dolly...
"I tell you I've got the most tags!" Dolly said with pride in her tone. They've been playing tag until 15 minutes passed. Now Eddy and Dolly are arguing who win.
"No way, Floppy!" Eddy denied and points himself with a thumb and smiles pridefully. "I got many tags than you."
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am."
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
They glared at each other with silence for a few minutes before sighing in defeat. There was no point in arguing about it either. They had no idea how much they scored. They were having so much fun that they haven't counted the tags.
"Let's call it a draw," Dolly suggested extending a paw for a handshake.
"For the first time I am agreeing with you," Eddy said as they both do a handshake. "It was fun though."
"Totally agree dude." Dolly said smiling. Sure she wanted to win just like Eddy, but despite that she had fun.
"Yupika-ye!" Dizzy and Dee Dee said happily as they both were riding Ed
"Yupika-ye!" Dizzy and Dee Dee said happily as they both were riding Ed.
"NEEEEEEEIIIIIGHHHH!" Ed let out a horse sound from his mouth. "I am a horse!"
Eddy and Dolly couldn't help but snicker at that sight. Ed seems to have fun with two trouble-making pups.
"Hey, Dolly!"
Both Eddy and Dolly looked at the source of the voice and notice two dogs coming to them. There were two females. One is a big rottweiler with small ears, a grey nose, and a toothy mouth. She has a hot pink collar with a peace sign as a tag on it. The other one was a white pomeranian.
"Hi, Snowball! Hi Roxy!" Dolly greeted them. They are her best friends who like to spend time with her.
"How are you?" Rottweiler named Roxy asked as she looked over at Ed and Eddy. "Are these humans with ya?"
"Yep. Let me introduce you to the short one Eddy and the big lug Ed."
As she said that Eddy looked at her with a look on his face saying 'do you have to call me short?'
"Three of them are living with us."
"Wait... Three?" A pomeranian named Snowball asked with a Russian accent. "But there are two of them."
"Double D went with Dylan." Eddy responded. "They went to walk around the park just to some sightseeing stuff."
That respond from Eddy was shocking to Roxy and Snowball.
"D-Did he just understood what I said?" Snowball asked still in shock.
"Eddy does," Ed replied to Snowball as he came to them. "so do I! Given by the king of the animals!"
"I think that's cool!" Roxy said wagging her tail. "It's more awesome to talk to human who understands our language."
"Well actually..." Dolly said. "Eds having that earplug thingie that allows them to understand animals."
Snowball and Roxy nodded.
"Makes sense." Snowball said.
"Maybe we can be friends," Roxy said. "It's cool to have humans that communicate with us like normal."
"YAY! NEW FRIENDS FOR ED, GUYS!" Ed yelled joyfully as he hugs Roxy and Snowball. The same strength that he hugged Dylan.
"Hnghh! That's good, Ed." Snowball said struggling to breathe. "C-Can you at least stop hugging us we need air!"
Ed obeyed as he puts Snowball and Roxy down. Dolly overheard some talking from the arrogant corgi herself, Clarissa. She's a neighbour next to Dalmatians. That corgi was showing off saying stuff like she's related to 'royal' corgis. Not to mention that she treats neighbours A.K.A Dalmatians as ruff raffs.
"Uugh, and Clarissa still about herself." Dolly groaned annoyed.
"Who the heck is Clarissa?" Eddy asked looking at Dolly.
"It's just our neighbour Corgi who thinks that everyone should be kneeling in front of her," Dolly responded to Eddy's question. "She always says that she is SOMEHOW related to 'royal' corgi's."
This made Eddy laugh saying:
"HA HA HA! HER?! Being royalty?! THAT'S HILLARIOUS."
"It is." Dolly chuckled. "She thinks that everyone needs to bow before her."
"What are we gonna do Eddy?" Ed asked him. That made Eddy think of something. He hasn't done any scams since the last one really backfired badly, but it is London and none of the kids from Cul De Sac was living there so this was a cool opportunity.
"Say Floppy," Eddy said to dalmatian old teen. "would you like to help me with Ed making a scam?"
"What do you have in mind?" Dolly asked.
"Come on. The scam is a business and business is cash. Think about it. We could try to scam Clarissa."
"Well, that's not a bad idea..."
"Besides with the cash you earn you could get sweet tasty kibble. It could be quick and fast. Not to mention your parents wouldn't overwork!"
The way Eddy said that sounded very tempting. The idea of scamming Clarissa or earning money for a kibble with a scam wasn't bad. Normally it would be illegal, but Dolly and her family could use some money for something.
"Alright," Dolly said looking at Eddy. "What's your plan for a scam?"
Eddy smiling like a devil says:
"Here is a plan..."
Later with Dylan and Double D...
"Thank you for filling me up with information about it, Dylan." Double D said. "I feel like I understand some of it."
"If you want I could tell you in an easier way." Dylan offered.
"No, thank you. I think I get it."
Double D and Dylan walked around the park after Dylan's explanation coming back to others. Dylan filled Double D with necessary information about the animal culture in London. While they coming back they noticed a crowd of dogs - Clarissa included - sitting around watching.
Dylan and Double D noticed that Eddy, Ed and Dolly (who was in the fake ticket booth with 25 pence written on it.) were doing a scam.
"Ladies, gentleman and animals!" Eddy said through the microphone. "Welcome to see the spectacle of Bottomless Ed! You guys are gonna see how Ed will eat that mattress swallowing it."
Most of the dogs were shocked and a bit disgusted saying stuff like:
"No way!"
"There's no possibility that he could est the whole mattress."
"That's disgusting..."
"That's logically impossible," Dawkins said. "There's no way one human could eat a whole mattress."
"That... sounds disturbing..." Dylan commented.
"I agree with Dylan." Da Vinci said agreeing with Dylan. She is a small pup with a coloured spot mainly because if the paint. She has also a pink bandanna.
"Oh, believe me, you wouldn't like to see it." Double D warned them.
Eddy looked at Clarissa as she says:
"That's way too silly for ruff raff to even think about eating the whole mattress."
"Wanna bet?" Eddy said making some dogs even Clarissa surprised except for Dalmatian pups. They probably never expected to even hear a response to a human. "Because I think you just need to see princessy poochy pooch."
"How dare you...!" Clarissa said very angrily hearing him calling like that. "Do you know who I am?!"
Eddy only ignores her as he just only planning to start.
"Alright enough chit chat. Now Ed! Eat that mattress."
Ed looked at the mattress then back at them and said:
"Yum!"
Ed then went to the mattress and proceed to devour it as a python would do to an animal. As he does so, he changes shape and unchanging his jaws to swallow the mattress making everyone in the crowd watched in horror. They had fear and disgust on the look of their faces. Clarissa with her friends had a pure fear of seeing a sight that is equally disgusting. That doesn't mean pups weren't afraid. Dalmatian pups also showed disgust and fear. Da Vinci had a mixture of fear and disgust, Dylan has a pure fear on his own face and Dawkins... Well, it was so shocking that he fainted. What about Dolly, well she just laugh looking at the spectacle. As Ed finishes he reverts his body back to its normal state.
"That hit the spot!" Ed said as he used his shirt as a napkin to wipe his mouth. Half of the crowd was sitting in shock, while the other ran away screaming, Clarissa and her friends ran away also.
"What... just happened...?" Da Vinci asked with a shocked expression.
"Haha! Ed never ceases to amaze me!" Dolly said laughing. "Have you seen Clarissa's face? So priceless!"
Dylan looked at Dolly with a frown. "I can respect that you have different interests, but this?!"
"Dylan relax, no one was hurt," Dolly said. "...Well except mentally, but look on the bright side! We earned money with that scam. Also, Clarissa deserved it for the way she treated us."
Eddy came to them and looks at the jar of money. "Oh man, that's so much money we earned. Let's buy some jawbreakers!"
"Hold up, Shorty!" Dolly said stopping him. "I've helped you with the scam so you have to share with me also."
"...Fiiiiineee." Eddy said rolling his eyes. "We can share it after Dinner."
Then the little pups said the word "dinner" one by one, before
"Another trigger word..." Double D said with a sigh Eds and others were taken by an avalanche of pups to the house.
Later after dinner...
Dolly and Eddy were in Double D's room splitting half of the money that they earned.
"Man this is so great!" Eddy said. "Look how much we earned from this scam!"
"So I noticed," Dolly said smiling. "We could buy so much kibble with it. Besides Clarissa's reaction was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen."
"You bet it was!" Eddy said laughing. "Have you heard her screams? 'Aaaah! Help me don't let that thing eat me!'"
As Eddy said in a mocking tone, pretending to be Clarissa Dolly laughed at that. Clarissa was definitely scared after seeing Ed eating the mattress.
"Haha, Yeah! That was hilarious!"
"It was!"
Both of them laughed at that. It sure was awesome to thing see Clarissa's reaction.
"Hehe... I think you're a cool dude." Dolly said bringing her paw for a high-paw.
"Thanks, Dolly." Eddy said smiling and gave Dolly high-paw/high-five. It was a sure cool idea to mess up with Clarissa
Meanwhile with Double D and Dylan...
Double D was cleaning the floor with a vacuum cleaner, while Dylan was just washing the dishes of the pups + Eds.
Double D sighed saying:
"Goodness, this is tiring. Wish Eddy and Ed could at least help up."
"I know what you feel Double D." Dylan said as he finished the final dish. "Sometimes I wish Dolly could help up with chores."
After they finally finished they both sit down on the couch and took a breath of relief that this is over for the chores.
"Is that all the chores we finished?" Double D asked.
"Pretty much so." Dylan replied.
Both of them sighed with relief. It was a very tiring day for them. At least they could take a breather.
"Say Double D," Dylan said to Double D. "Have you always had trouble with siblings?"
"Actually..." Double D responded. "I don't have any siblings. Wish I honestly have one while my parents were away and be back to almost midnight"
Dylan wasn't expecting to be a single child with parents who were working a lot and they had no time with him. He had a lot of siblings, but he couldn't imagine life without them. Sure they were problematic, but not that in his life he imagined being a single pup.
"But that's alright." Double D reassured him. "I've gotten used to being a bit of a loner until meeting Ed and Eddy. They were the first friends I ever made in my life. We had a lot of crazy adventures together."
"Seems like a nice thing to have them by your back, despite the scams they were doing with them." Dylan commented smiling a little. Double D nodded in agreement. "Fergus was the first friend I've made also. Whenever I needed advice or comfort he was there for me. Despite being a fox and all."
"That sounds nice." Double D commented.
"Yes. It is." Dylan replied. They were silent for a few minutes until Dylan decided to spoke up:
"Say, would you like to come to my treehouse to watch some stars?"
Double D pondered for a bit, then he nodded saying:
"Sure, I'd love to."
"Great!" Dylan wagged his tail smiling jumping out from the couch. "It's going to midnight soon so let's go."
Double D and Dylan went to the treehouse. When Double D was inside he was quite surprised to see all stuff such as the bone structure of the dinosaur, books and other stuff. There were also posters of space, not to mention also with dinosaurs. Although he did suspect that Dylan was into space stuff, but he had no idea he was into palaeontology.
"My goodness, it almost looks like you have your own room." Double D commented.
"Yup. It is mostly the place where I spend 'me' time." Dylan replied. "Though since you were invited I don't think it's an issue."
Double D nodded in understanding. Dylan did invite him even if it was his personal space.
Now that night has come they were watching some stars.
"Say, Dylan," Double D responded, "I seen you have a lot of volumes about Mars."
"Yep!" Dylan said happily. "I have a dream that one day I'll become the first dog on mars."
"Seems like a quite amazing dream."
"Yeah, and I wish I could accomplish it."
"I'm sure you will accomplish it. Nothing's impossible as they say."
They both went up as there was a telescope from what he had seen outside the treehouse. He noticed there were cushions on the floor as they went there.
"I'm guessing this is your bed." Double D said as he sits down on one of the cushions.
"You bet." Dylan said smiling and lays down comfortable on the cushioned floor. "Its the place I always slept in while watching the stars."
After that explanation, both of them started watch the stars as Dylan reminded him (kinda).
Meanwhile with Ed and Eddy...
Eddy and Ed were sleeping in Double D's room with sleeping bags. Since it is midnight they kinda needed a rest. After some minutes they heard a scratching from the door making them wake up.
'Who the heck scratches the door at this time...?' Eddy thought annoyed as he had nice dream. Ed looked confused aswell.
Eddy went over and opens the door and looked around then looked down noticing Dorothy, the small little female dalmatian pup who is too young to have spots.
"Dorothy?" Eddy asked wiping his eye. "Why are you up so early?"
Dorothy only whined let out small barks in response. Eddy didn't understood so he decided to speak his thoughts on what she is trying to say:
"Let me guess. You have a nightmare and you tried to wake others up, but they were fast asleep so you decided to go to us."
Dorothy nodded in response. Ed felt sad for her. No one even wanted her to comfort her!
"Can she sleep with us Eddy?" Ed said looking at him with begging eyes. "Please...?"
Normally Eddy would disagree saying that they don't need her since she has a bed of her own. Though he couldn't somehow. It hurted his ego to say it, but he felt kinda bad for her. No one had to wake up and of course they were tired. But she is still a baby though. With deep breath he decided:
"Allright. She can sleep one night with us, Ed."
Ed was smiling happily. She can sleep with them!
"Come here, Dorothy." Ed said as he took Dorothy in his hand gently. "Ed and Eddy will protect you from the nightmares."
Eddy bringing a pillow from the Double D's bed he putted it down on the floor so that she could get off easily. Not creative way, but he'll try to make one... Someday. Eddy looked at Ed, who was tickling Dorothy's belly playfully making her giggle.
"Ok. She can sleep on the pillow." Eddy said.
After Ed stopped playing with Dorothy he putted on the pillow as she yawned.
"Goodnight Dorothy." Ed said as he went inside the sleeping bag. "Goodnight Eddy."
"Yeah, Yeah. Goodnight or whatever..."
Three of them were sleeping, but still Dorothy couldn't sleep. Even though she doesn't talk doesn't mean she couldn't feel. She looked at Ed then back at Eddy. She walked to eddy and snuggled next to his head walking in circle before felling asleep. He opened his eyes woken up and looked with jis eyes noticing Dorothy.
"You do know I gave you pillow for reason right?" Eddy asked Dorothy, however she didn't respond as she was already fallen asleep.
Eddy sighed thinking he's already too tired to care before he finally fell asleep.
Authors note:
Ok I finally finished this chapter. Honestly I did wanted once Ed singing some lullaby 'Hushabye Mountain' but I scrapped that idea. And thought to add Alvin and Chipmunks reference in the end. Anyway hope you'll like the chapter. Review what you think.
