Okay, there... Now I don't need to worry about leaking... Oh, hey guys! In case you were wondering what I was doing, I was applying some Vaseline to my window frame. It's been raining heavily for the past few days and all the drain pipes are clogged by leaves, it doesn't help that I live at the bottom of a hill. As a result, there's a flood that's goes up as high as my window, hence why I put Vaseline there, to prevent leakage. I'm also on my phone while I'm doing this, so that I can multitask. Now let's do the recap.

Last time, Danielle and the two Busters arrive at the junkyard, where future Buster passes the almanac to himself. After that, they leave, unaware that Buster locked Danielle in his garage. Danielle informs Sam, and he tries to pick her up that night, but Buster was on his way to the dance, so Danielle had to hide in the back of his car. Meaning that Sam came over to find the garage empty. While Sam was on the way back, he found himself in the middle of his younger self's lightning experiment. Sam explains to Danielle that she has to be extremely careful not to run to run into her other self. But then, his younger self appeared and asked him to pass him a wrench, and he did it without letting his younger self knowing it was him.

Man, how ironic!

Anyway, we're done with the recap and let's get ready to start!

*Knocking* Huh? Who's knocking on my front door? *walks over and opens the door*

... WA-! *water rushes in, flooding the house*

Ready? Sego!

Chapter 13 – Back to The Dance

Buster swerved his car into a no parking zone at the back of the school. He opened the car door and left. Danielle poked her head out and tried reaching for the book, she turned her head to look at Buster and ducked.

Buster walked back to the car and grabbed the almanac. As he walked toward the school doors, Danielle jumped out of the car, following him closely. Buster walked in trough the doors and into the dance floor. Danielle peeked into the room and took out her binoculars.

When she looked through them, she saw Buster with Tramp, chatting with each other. 'Huh… I guess I just have to wait…' Thought Danielle. Then, a dog with his owner walked in through the doors.

"Alright boy, remember to make sure that no trouble happens. I know you'll do good because your owner is the mayor of this town, who is the brother of me, the principle of this school… filled with slackers…" Said the principal. 'That's the principal of Sam's school!' Thought Danielle. She knew who he was because Sam had told her and the rest of the family all pain and detentions, he put Sam through.

"Now Lawrence, remember that one word… Discipline." Said the principal. Lawrence nodded. "Alright boy, have fun!" The principal said before walking back out of the doors. Lawrence then walked past Danielle, into the gym where all the dancing was.

He then noticed something odd, Danielle took out the binoculars again and noticed that Buster was not with Tramp, and Tramp was looking for him. Danielle then followed. Lawrence's gaze and found Buster leaving through the exit.

Danielle the traveled across the room with stealth and followed him out of the doors. She stopped when she saw Buster with his friends. "Hey, where's that twerp! The one who humiliated us!" Buster said angry.

"How am I supposed to know Buster? I ain't her secretary." Said one of his friends. "We'll go find her! She caused 300 bucks damage to my car and I owe her a knuckle sandwich! Get going!" Said Buster.

"Are you coming?" Asked another thug. "No, I'm reading." Said Buster. His friends then ran back toward the gym, Danielle quickly went to a wall and looked toward it, and her friends ran right passed her.

She then turned to see Buster looking at a book, not the almanac but, a different book titled 'Oh La La'

Danielle quietly walked to the railing of the balcony, watching Buster who was on the stairs close by. She then saw the phone booth at the parking lot, Danielle took out the binoculars and looked at the phone booth.

She saw Lady and herself in there, talking. Danielle slowly lowered her binoculars to the railing in shock. 'Well, there I am…' Danielle thought before sighing. She then saw the almanac tucked away.

'Time to make my move' Danielle thought as she quietly climbed over the railing and jumped off the balcony and landed at the bottom of another flight of stairs, going to the basement. Buster quickly looked around, alerted by the noise. He then shrugged and looked back to his book.

Danielle walked up to the concrete wall and slowly reached up towards the almanac. Just as she was about to grab it, Lawrence appeared at the top of the stairs. "Well, well, well, Buster… How nice to see you here." Lawrence said as Buster turned away from him, Danielle ducked before they saw her. 'So close…' Thought Danielle.

"Why… Lawrence, it's nice to see you sir…" Buster said slowly as Lawrence walked down to him. "Do I smell something that's not school appropriate Buster?" Asked Lawrence suspiciously. "Uh- I wouldn't know! I don't know what qualifies because I never went to a school… because there are no schools for dogs…" Buster said as he hid his book behind him and was fiddling with it.

"I see… and what do we have here?" Lawrence said as he pulled out the almanac. "Sports Statistics, interesting subjects… home reading Buster?" Asked Lawrence. "Well, I dunno because… I ain't at home…" Buster said as he chuckled.

Lawrence then rolled up the almanac and hit Buster with it. "You got a real attitude problem you know that Buster? Just watch it! Because if I was the principal of your non-existent dog school, I'd throw you into detention! SLACKER!" Lawrence said as he stared him in the eyes.

He then turned and walked down the stairs. Danielle carefully peeked and saw Buster slowly walking in the opposite direction. She came out from hiding and proceeded to follow Lawrence, seeing that he has the book.

Then Lawrence passed the phone booth, Danielle was about to do the same before she remembered who was in there. Danielle quickly stopped herself, she took a few steps back and ducked down.

'Okay, I need to pay more attention!' Danielle thought as she slowly and quietly crawled past the phone booth. The other Danielle and Lady were chatting inside, Danielle couldn't make out the words, but that wasn't important.

When Danielle got passed the phone booth, she got up and sprinted away. She saw Lawrence head into the school, and followed him in.

When Danielle entered, she was in the school halls, but Lawrence was nowhere to be found. 'Where did he go?' Danielle thought as she looked around. Then a light turned on in a room close by. Danielle turned on look and saw a sign above the door. It was the principal's office.

Danielle peeked through a window and found Lawrence sitting in the chair at the desk. He was reaching down for something, and when he pulled it up, Danielle quickly ducked to avoid being seen.

Lawrence pulled up a bottle of generic ginger ale and poured a glass of it. Danielle slowly raised her head again and saw him place the book onto the desk. Lawrence turned away in his chair and Danielle made her move.

The door slowly and quietly opened, Danielle snuck into the room and to the desk. She stood onto her hind legs, poked her head up and saw the book on the opposite side of the desk. She slowly reached her paw out for it.

Just as she was about grab it, the door slowly creaked and closed. 'Uh oh!' Danielle thought as she ducked. Lawrence turned towards the door after hearing it. He walked over to the door opened it, and peeked out.

He closed the door and shrugged after a short pause. As he slowly walked back to the chair, Danielle was as still as a statue under his desk. Lawrence sat back in his chair and after a few seconds of silence, he heard a commotion going on outside.

Danielle heard it too, 'That was probably when I got taken away from the phone booth…' Danielle thought as Lawrence looked toward the window, he rolled his chair over to the window and peeked through the blinds.

Danielle saw this as an opportunity to grab the book. Danielle placed her paw onto the table and started feeling for the book. She then felt something different from the table, 'Now I've got it!' Danielle thought as she smirked.

Then Lawrence rolled his chair back into the desk and Danielle paw was squashed in between the desk and chair. Danielle was screaming in her head out of pain but managed to stay silent.

'AGH! THE PAIN! MAKE IT STOP!' Danielle thought as she bit down on her collar.

Lawrence was drinking the rest of his ginger ale while Danielle was right on the verge of screaming. Then Lawrence put his mug down on the table and rolled the chair out. The second he moved it, Danielle quickly brought her paw down, clenching it in pain.

Then, Lawrence grabbed the almanac and walked to the door. Danielle followed him to the edge of the desk, Lawrence opened the door and threw the book in the trash on his way out.

Danielle stared at the trashcan for a moment before she stifled a quiet laugh before running to the trashcan and picked the book out of it. "Yes!" Danielle as she flipped through the pages, breathing heavily.

However, the pictures in the book weren't that of sports players, they were pictures of dog models. Danielle was starting to realize something wasn't right. "No…" Danielle breathed heavily.

She turned a few more pages and found the front of the book. "Oh La La?" Danielle said after looking at the book for a moment. She then closed the almanac cover over it before she quickly opened it back up.

"Oh La La!" Danielle said as she looked back at the book itself. It was official, Danielle has the wrong book. Danielle backed toward the window, still looking at the book, disguised in the almanac cover.

"Oh La La!?" Danielle said before she tossed the book, followed by the cover to the side, she then took out the walkie talkie and extended the antenna. "Sam, guys…" Said Danielle. No response, "Come on guys! Come in!" Said Danielle.

The walkie talkie buzzed to reveal Sam's voice. "[Danielle what's up?]" Asked Sam. "Sam… Sam I'm in trouble, I blew it!" Said Danielle. "[Where's the book?]" Asked Sam. "I don't know, Buster must still have it with him, all I got is the cover!" Danielle said in a defeated tone.

"[Well, where's Buster?]" Asked Sam. "I don't know…" Said Danielle. "[Don't you have any idea where he is?]" Asked Sam. "No! I mea- he could be anywhere by now!" Said Danielle. "[Danielle the entire future depends on you finding Buster and getting that book back!]" Said Sam.

"Augh no! I just don't know where-…" Danielle trailed off when she started hearing a commotion coming from outside. Danielle turned to look out the window and saw Buster twisting Tramp's leg while Lady was on top of him, trying to make him let go.

"OF COURSE!" Danielle said as she jumped in place. She then held down the button on the walkie talkie again. "I gotta go! I got one chance, Dad is about to deck Buster!" Danielle said before running out of the room, heading for the exit.

Danielle burst out of the school doors and ran up to a car and looked at what was about to happen.

As the other Danielle was running back into the parking lot, Tramp whipped his paw straight across Buster's face, causing him to fall against the phone booth. "YES!" Danielle quietly said a thought went through her, 'That's what ya get Buster!'

The other Danielle stopped in shock at what she had just saw as Buster slumped over and fell to the ground. A crowd started gathering at where the other Danielle was. Danielle happily looked at her other self and her smiling at Lady and Tramp.

Danielle walked out from the car, but not out far enough to be noticed. "Talk about Déjà vu…" Danielle said to herself.

"Are you okay?" Tramp said as he stuck his paw out to Lady. She took his paw and Tramp helped her up. Lady then smiled at him and the two slowly walked off together.

As they passed the other Danielle, she pulled out the photo feeling confident. Her face then turned into confusion as she looked back and forth between her parents and the photo. She then put away the photo and pushed through the front of the crowd and ran toward the back of the school.

Now that her parents and her other self had left, Danielle was ready to make her move. She swiftly ran over to the crowd gathered around Buster.

"Okay everyone let's back up now, huh? Let's back up, let's everybody just back up. Give him a little bit of room, okay a little bit of air." Danielle reassured as she pushed through the crowd and over to Buster.

"It's okay, I know CPR… I know CPR." Danielle said as she mover her paws with stealth, searching for the book. "What's CPR?" Asked a dog as Buster started to regain consciousness. When Buster saw Danielle, his face turned angry. "You!" Said Buster.

Danielle just casually turned her eyes toward the sky and slammed her paw into his face, knocking him out. "He's fine." Danielle said as she pulled out the book and made a run for it.

"H-hey did you just- She just stole from him!" Said the dog. But the crowd just stayed near Buster and didn't bother going after her. Danielle kept on running until she reached the back of the school, where she stopped to try and catch her breath.

'I can't believe I did that! But hey, it's Buster so… yeah. Better inform Sam and Scamp.' Danielle thought as she took out her walkie talkie.
