Jackie was excited. Her parents told her that she could keep the puppy. She grabbed her Squakpad and called Matt back. Matt answered. "So, what'd they say?" Matt asked.
"They said we could take her." Jackie told Matt with a smile.
"Awesome! I'll bring her over here soon." Matt responded before he hung up. He looked to Decimal. "Well little one, I found you a home." Matt went to pick her up. Decimal snapped at his hand, and Matt withdrew. "Let's take another approach to this." Matt said before taking his book bag and dumping everything out on the table. He slowly walked up to the puppy and scooped her up with the bag. "Hey put me down this instant!" Decimal barked furiously. Again, Matt just heard a series of barks.
"Shhh." Matt tried to soothe. "It's only for a little while." Matt went outside and grabbed his skateboard. He put the bookbag holding the young puppy on his back. He stood on top of his skateboard and away he went. Soon, Matt arrived at Jackie's house. He got off of his skateboard and put it underneath his arm. He knocked on the door. While he waited for an answer, he slipped off his bookbag and held it in his other arm. Jackie answered the door. "Hi, Matt!" Jackie said when she opened the door. She looked to the puppy sitting in Matt's backpack. "Aww she's adorable!" Jackie exclaimed. "Come in, my parents would like to see her first." Jackie told Matt. Matt walked in still holding his backpack. He shut the door behind him.
After a brief meeting with Jackie's parents, Matt put his bookbag on the ground letting the puppy crawl out of it. "She doesn't like to be handled very well." Matt explained to Jackie. "It's almost like she's got something against me."
"That reminds me of another pup that we know." Jackie said with a laugh. Matt laughed and picked up his bookbag. "Yeah." He said with a chuckle in his voice. The two watched the puppy crawl around on the floor to explore for a little while. Eventually, Matt noticed the time. "Well, I better go before my parents get too worried about me." Matt told her.
"Alright, Matt. I'll see you later." Jackie said before Matt walked out of the from door and skated home. Jackie looked to the pup. "What should I call you..." Jackie wondered. "Muffin?"
The pup shook her head. "Walnut?" Jackie suggested. The pup shook her head again. "Scout?" There was another shake. "Cookie? Lucky? Georgia? June?" Each one of Jackie's name suggestions were followed by a shake. "Am I just supposed to call you puppy?" Jackie asked her. That nickname was better than any to Decimal. She nodded. 'Yep!" Decimal barked. Of course, all Jackie heard was just an ordinary bark. Jackie let out a sigh of defeat.
Most of the day had passed by. Jackie and Decimal were in Jackie's bedroom. Decimal laid on Jackie's bed. Jackie was on her computer playing a game. "It's the evil garbage monster!" Jackie exclaimed totally in tune with her game. "He's come to litter the streets of CleanVille!"
"Really?" Decimal asked mainly to herself. Decimal watched disbelief as the human played the game about an evil monster who left trash everywhere. Decimal looked around the room and spotted a waste bin sitting in the corner of the tidy room. She got an idea in her head. She hopped down from the tidy bed leaving little creases on the covers. She padded over to the waste bin, put a paw on the top of the bin, and slowly tipped the bin over scattering the trash all over the ground. Jackie paused her game and turned to look at the puppy. "No!" Jackie screeched as she rushed over to start picking the garbage up and placing it back into the bin. She then walked over to the bed and smoothed out the crinkles in the blankets. "Taking care of a puppy sure is hard work." Jackie said. She heard a crash. She looked over to see the puppy laying in the garbage that once again spilled out of the little basket. "No, you can't do that!" Jackie exclaimed as she picked the garbage up. The last piece was right next to the young puppy. Jackie reached for it, but the puppy growled and snapped at her hand. "Come on!" Jackie said. She reached for the piece of garbage again. Once more, Decimal snapped at Jackie's hand. Jackie was starting to get irritated with the young pup. Her OCD was kicking in and she needed to pick up this last piece of garbage. She quickly moved her hand, grabbed the piece with the young German Shepherd barely missing her hand by an inch. "Ha! Got'cha." Jackie smiled as she threw the last piece of garbage away. Jackie went back to playing her game. Decimal decided that she didn't quite have enough fun. She knocked the bin over again, knocked books and items over and off of shelves. Then, Decimal ran over, jumped onto Jackie's bed and made a mess of it. Jackie quickly paused her game and followed the pup, picking everything up after it. Jackie quickly picked up the young puppy in a tight hold. Decimal barked and tried to squirm out of the human's arms. Jackie dug through her closest and found her school bookbag. She put the pup inside it and carried the pup in the bookbag. "I know exactly what I should call you, Chaos." Jackie told her.
Suddenly, Jackie's computer turned to a screen with Motherboard's face on it. Decimal went berserk and kept barking nonstop. "Jackie, Cyberspace needs you. Hacker has been spotted in Radopolis and is challenging King Dudicus to the throne again. Can't let him win... race... If he does then..." The virus cut Motherboard off before she could finish her sentence. Jackie set her bookbag down as a portal opened. "Sorry, Chaos. I have to go. Don't cause any trouble while I'm gone." Jackie told her before jumping through. Decimal took her chance and darted off of the bed and leaped through the portal before it closed. Jackie found herself falling next to Matt and Inez. She stuck the landing perfectly. Something else crash landed and tumbled forward on the ground. Digit fell into Radopolis a few seconds later, so it couldn't have been Digit. No, it was tan and brown. It was a medium sized dog shape. It was at them with a meek smile and waved a paw. "Decimal?!" The Cybersquad asked.
"Yup, that's me! Don't wear the name out." Decimal scoffed before standing up and shaking out her cyborg body.
"How'd you get here?" Inez asked her.
"Through that one's portal." Decimal nodded to Jackie.
"Wait a second! You're that puppy I found!" Matt exclaiming putting the pieces together.
"Bingo!" Decimal scoffed. "Don't ask me how I got embodied in a measly little Earth-puppy, I don't know, but if you excuse me, I have a race to win." Decimal bounded off towards the starting line.
"What did I miss?" Digit asked. Inez shrugged. She didn't know what was going on either. "We'll fill you both in later. We can't let Hack or Decimal win that race!" Matt told them.
