The next morning, Bendy had a bit of a rude awakening, as the bedroom was stinking horribly. He knew exactly where it was coming from too...
"Dash seriously?! You couldn't hold it in?!"
He then went to go get Linda, who was currently helping Henry with breakfast. They both saw him come in.
"Morning, ink spot! You sleep good?" "Yeah but I had a rude awakening..." Henry looked concerned. "You had a dream about him?" "Nope, apparently Dash went on herself and is stinking up the bedroom..."
At this, Linda stopped what she was doing and went to go tend to her daughter, whom was now awake. Bendy meanwhile helped Henry finish the food.
Sometime later, Linda came in carrying Dash who was now in a cute overalls outfit and clean diaper, and set her in the high chair.
"Ey Dash, you gained some weight? You got a little potbelly going on~" Bendy teased, poking her gut. Dash batted his hand away. "Bendy, don't tease her, it's not nice." "Oh come on Henry, I was just having a little fun!"
The parents then serve breakfast, and there's light chatter through out. Dash managed to steal most of Bendy's pancakes, which he got upset about, however Henry considers this payback on her part...
"So what's on the agenda today?" "Well, first we're going to take you both on a tour of the farm and then I'll be taking you fishing." "You know I thought I heard chickens in the back and cows mooing." "That's basically how we make a living out here." Bendy looked over at Dash who was currently downing a small pitcher of milk and being a little sloppy with it. This causes him to sweatdrop. "Dash relax, no one's gonna take it..." "She seems to love it. It's fresh after all and I add a little whipping cream to it, to give it a bit of flavor. She's a growing puppy after all." Bendy just shrugged. "So what are you two doing today?" Well, I heard there's a baking contest coming up soon, and I want Dash to sample some ideas I have." "Just don't give her chocolate." "I won't."
They chatted a bit more and soon were cleaning up. Dash was laying against the kitchen wall, resting, when she felt someone poking her gut again. Of course, it was Bendy, cause he had nothing else better to do, than to torment his sister...
"I have no idea why I'm enjoying this..." "Ok everything is cleaned and--" Henry paused mid sentence when he saw Bendy tormenting Dash. "Bendy, I told you to leave her alone, she's very full right now..." "But it's fun!" "Not to her, how would you like it if all those pokes you did, caused her to throw up? And on you nonetheless since you're right in her range?" This caused Bendy to stop and back up quick. Henry then picked her up and layed her on the couch to rest some more.
A few hours later, the family were out in the back checking on the farm animals and feeding them their food. Bendy's eyes brighten at the sight of the baby chicks. He picked one up and it gently pecked at his hand...
"Hey that tickled! You chicks are so tiny..." He looked to see some were following Dash around, one was even on top of her head. "I gotta get a picture of this!" He soon took out a camera and signaled Dash to look his way. He got the shot he wanted and gave her a thumbs up, before checking on the pigs.
Dash meanwhile went to go watch Henry milk a cow. It looked simple, but she could tell it wasn't. Henry noticed her there and got a funny idea...
"Dashie, think fast!" He shouted as he sprayed some milk in her direction. She caught it easily. He did it again to throw her off, but she caught it that time as well. After several more times of this, Dash had caught every milk squirt, and did not one drop land on the ground. Henry was quite impressed, wondering how she did that. She then wiped her mouth with her sleeve and let out a cute burp. Henry chuckled at her cuteness. "You feel better?" She nodded happily. "That's good, hey listen, Bendy told me that you can talk, but how come you don't?" Dash didn't do anything at this question. "Is it because you don't want to?" She nodded. "Ah alright, well I'd love to hear your voice one day, I'm sure it's just as adorable as you are." Dash then gave him a hug and left him to finish his work.
Dash then goes into the kitchen after smelling something sweet. She sees her mom making a bunch of desserts. She could make out couple of cakes, cookies, puddings, ect. It seems that Linda sensed that Dash was there and gently picked her up.
"Hope you're hungry for sweets, cause I need your help." the lil pup tilted her head. Linda continued, "see there's this baking contest coming up soon and I want you to sample some desserts I made. Let me know which one is the best."
Dash looked at her happily. Of course she would help, the perk is that she gets to eat many sweets as she wanted, after all.
"Looks like that's a yes judging by the happy face, alright then." Linda then moves a bit of furniture in the kitchen around and spreads out a rather large blanket. Then she sets Dash on top and ties her bib on. Next she grabs a medium sized pitcher and pours milk into it and mixed in whipping cream as well. Lastly, she got the desserts she was done with and and set them around her. "I'm still making more, so help yourself to these."
You didn't have to tell Dash twice. She promptly dug into the sweets and was quite sloppy about it. Bendy walks pass and noticed her, he just shook his head knowing full well that he's not gonna see her at dinner. He went to go get his fishing stuff, while Henry talked to Linda...
However, their chat was cut short when Bendy suddenly yelled out. They then looked and saw that Dash had nipped Bendy's hand, but not too hard...
"What's all this then?" "I just wanted some of the sweets she was eating and when I reached for a few mini tarts, she suddenly bit me..." Henry chuckled. "Son, you should never take a dog's food, they think you're stealing it. I learned that the hard way with my dad's own dog. I wanted to play, but he was eating and being a kid, not knowing any better, I got bit when I took his food." "How bad was it?" "I needed stitches and ol Harvey got a long time out. But see, with Dash, she's just a pup and nipped you as a warning. It's her instinct, she's not mad at you. Maybe try asking next time." Bendy just shrugged at this. "Alright." was all he said.
Soon, both him and Henry are off to the lake, Linda tells them bye and she hopes they catch a big one. She goes back to the kitchen, to find Dash drawing a picture...
"What are you drawing there?" Dash covered the drawing, apparently she wasn't done yet, so Linda left her be to check on her baking. "So which dessert did you like the best?" Dash pointed to the pan that used to have a cheesecake in it and the plate that used to be filled with fruit tarts, and put her paws very close together. "Ah, so it's a tie between the cheesecake and tarts. Ok, I'll take your word for it and I'll be sure to enter them both in the competition." She then pets her head. "I never met someone who has a big sweet tooth like you." Dash tilted her head at this. "Oh it means that you really love sweets."
As Linda was about to put Dash in her playpen, there was a knock on the door...
"Oh? I wonder who that could be?" she goes to the door and opened it, to reveal a sharply dressed older man there. "Yes, can I help you?" "Ah yes, my name is Joey Drew and I'm looking for Henry Stein. A friend of mine told me that he lived out here."
Now Linda was prepared and knew all about Joey and what went down at the studio... so she said:
"I'm sorry but he's not here right now, he's currently out of town on business. I'm just the maid and this is my puppy. She's for emotional support." Dash however, broke character, persay and started barking at Joey, bearing her suddenly sharp teeth. Joey didn't seemed fazed. "I'm really sorry, she's usually so friendly. I dunno what's gotten into her." "It's quite alright, I need to be on my way anyway. Whenever Henry returns, be sure he calls me. Here's my card." He gave her his card and soon left in his fancy car.
Once he was totally out of sight, Linda closed the door and turned to Dash, who was currently loafing. There was a long silence, before Linda asked:
"You knew something was way off about him, didn't you?" Dash nodded and finally broke her silence. "Yes... he's not normal... he scares me..." Linda then goes over and hugs her close. "We gotta let Henry and Bendy know as soon as they get back..."
Meanwhile Joey arrived at a somewhat rebuilt animation studio, smirking to himself...
"Oh Linda, did Henry tell you that lie? I'm not as dumb as you may think, and that little mutt? Where did they get her from? She's not a very good guard dog, should be easy to take her out. However, I need to think about my next move..."
