First Dog
Some time has gone by for the family, Falcon was still learning about the outside world. His mother was teaching him how to fish and took him to some ponds to teach him.
Soon Falcon learned how to fish and used it to help out when Elizabeth had to take care of Stuart, she was proud of his work and was thankful for him for helping out.
One day Stuart was not feeling well. His stomach was hurting and he was in pain.
His mother stay by his side trying to make him feel better, she was very worried.
Elizabeth: Hang in there sweetie, mother's here. Oh I wish there was something I can do to help you.
Falcon: Mother would it be okay if I went to get some fish to make Stuart feel better?
Elizabeth: Well, I mean I'm going to be looking after your brother for a long while, are you sure you'll be fine?
Falcon: I promise mother, I won't get hurt; we must try something to make him feel better.
So Falcon found a small paper bag and set off for the park while Elizabeth stayed and took care of Stuart.
Falcon made it to the park, but as he got closer he saw a sign saying, "Park close for construction". He was worried.
Falcon (Thinking): Now what; if I don't find some fish who knows what will to my brother.
He tried thinking of other places to get some fish.
Falcon (Thinking): I could try a fish restaurant, but I'm not that clever like some dogs.
Then he'd remembered a dock close by the ally.
Flacon (Thinking): It's a bit dangerous, but I must help Stuart.
Slowly, but determent he made his way to the dock. He noticed a boat house on the dock, but paid no mind and went below the dock to catch some fish.
The fish were close, but not close enough for Falcon to catch, so he leaded forward to try and grab some.
He kept trying to get them, but they would just swim away before he can get them.
He kept leading and leading, until…
SPLASH!
Falcon slipped and was about to fall in the ocean, he held on to the barge with all his strength.
Falcon: Help, Help!
He kept trying to get up, but the water kept pulling him back.
He was very scared, he thought this was it.
Falcon: Help!
He closed his eyes, and prepared for the worst.
Flacon (Groan): Uh, what happened?
When he opened his eyes he saw he was somewhere else.
Flacon: Where am I?
Suddenly he heard someone coming.
He saw a female dog walking towards him, next to her was a little boy; he was holding the paper bag.
Boy: Look Emily, our visitor's awake.
Falcon was a bit nervous, but he was too cold and stiff to move.
The boy handed him his paper bag.
Boy: I think this is yours we caught some fish for you.
Falcon looked and saw about five fish in the bag.
Boy: I'll be back; I have to make sure you didn't leave anything else behind.
The boy left Falcon alone with the dog.
Falcon was worried.
Falcon: Aren't you goanna chase me?
Emily (Chuckled): Don't worry kid you're safe. I don't chase or eat cats too gruesome for a lady like me.
Falcon was relived.
Falcon (Sigh): Thank you, and thanks for saving me.
Emily: Don't worry, what's your name?
Falcon: Falcon.
Emily: Please to meet you, you can call me Emily. What's a kitten like you fishing in a place like this?
Falcon told her about his brother.
Emily: Wow, that's very brave of you do to; risking yourself for your brother.
Falcon: Of course, he's the only brother I have and my mother works so hard, I'd do anything for them.
Emily smiled at him.
Emily: Well I hope this will be enough fish for you guys.
Falcon looked and saw five fish in the bag he snuggle her for a bit.
Falcon: Thank you, thank you so much.
Emily: Hey I'm just doing my job.
Falcon: Job?
Emily (Chuckled): I forgot to tell you; we didn't always live here in the boat house I used to be helper for a vet. You see that man on the chair there?
Falcon looked and saw a man sleeping, holding a glass of water.
Emily: That's the vet I used to work with, we would have different types of pets in our office each day and my job was to company them when they were scared and I guessed my kindness worked, it was fun meeting different types of animals.
Falcon: What happened to your job?
Emily (Sighed): I'll never forget, we had a very sick dog and it was a puppy, some stupid drunk person gave as the wrong medicine and the pup, he… he…
She began to get teary eyed, Falcon stared in shock.
Emily: Yes, he didn't make it. The owners were so cross, that the news started to mock us and people stopped coming. It was so tough for me and my owner both took it hard. That job was the way that we pay for our house, but since we've lost and we'd got sued by the same owners that it was enough to drive us homeless. That's how we ended up here.
Falcon, with some strength, got up and hugged Emily.
Falcon: I'm sorry that happened.
Emily: Thanks; you know you're pretty cool for a cat.
Falcon: Thanks.
Falcon was horrified when he looked at the sun.
Falcon: Oh no, my mom's goanna kill me; she's probably worried sick.
Emily: Where do you live?
Meanwhile Elizabeth kept looking side to side worrying sick about Falcon.
Stuart: Mom; is Falcon okay?
Elizabeth: I'm sure he's fine; he's probably catching lots fish for you.
Then she saw Emily coming around the corner, she stood in front of Stuart.
Elizabeth: Stay away from my son!
Emily: Whoa, whoa, it's okay I'm would kill you or your son, too gruesome.
She looked and saw she wasn't lying.
Emily: I just want to know, did you lose a cat?
Elizabeth opened her ears and saw Falcon slowly coming around the corner. She let out a tear and hugged him tightly.
Elizabeth: Oh Falcon, thank god you're okay; don't you ever scare me like that again!
Falcon: I'm sorry mom, but the park was close and I wanted to help you guys.
Emily: He came down by my dock and almost drowned. Here this is the bag of fish proving he was there.
Elizabeth looked and saw the fish then she turned and hugged her son again feeling proud for him.
Elizabeth: You did a good thing Falcon.
Falcon: It wasn't me, it was Emily mom.
Elizabeth looked and saw Emily giving a shy smiled, she smiled.
Elizabeth: Thank so much, and thank you for rescuing my son, he means the world to me.
Emily: You're welcome, he told me about you your other son, I admired for what you do to keep them safe.
Elizabeth: Thanks… uh what's your name again?
Emily: Emily and yours?
Elizabeth: Elizabeth.
Emily: Lovely name you have.
They smiled warmly at each other.
Emily: So where is this sick cat?
Elizabeth: Over there.
Emily looked and walked over towards Stuart.
Emily: Looks like you; wait here.
She went for bit, Elizabeth could hear her talking to someone and she saw a human when she came back. She was a bit scared.
Man: This the cat Emily? Alright let's have a look.
Elizabeth was walking towards him, but Falcon stopped her.
Falcon: It's okay mom, he's a vet.
Elizabeth, shocked, turned to Emily.
Elizabeth: A vet?
Emily: Yes, what did you think I was just a normal street dog?
Elizabeth looked, while the man checked Stuart.
Man: Well I got good news, it turns out that your kitten is just sick. Nothing too serious all he needs is just some warm milk and some warm food and he'll be fine by tomorrow.
Elizabeth was glad to hear this and she saw the man walking away with Stuart.
Emily: Well; do want to see if your son gets better?
Falcon went with Emily, with Elizabeth following behind.
They reached the boathouse and the man's son went to start a fire and found a pan in the house.
Then the man warm the fish a bit then cut it into pieces then gave it to Stuart.
Man: Now make sure you eat most of it; I'll see if I can fine a bottle and give you some milk.
Stuart opened his eyes a little and found his mother and Falcon watching.
Stuart: Falcon you're okay.
Falcon: Of course I am.
The he noticed Emily.
Stuart: Who are you?
Emily: I'm Emily and I was the one that brought you here and saved you brother.
Stuart: Thank you.
Emily: No problem; now please eat my master made this food to help you.
Elizabeth: Bless you; you're the kindest dog I've ever met.
Emily: Hey I'm just doing my job, this is the kind of thing I love to do. Please you must eat too; my owner didn't catch all this fish for nothing.
So they ate and she offered them to sleep for the night.

Oliver: So after awhile I felt better and I was very thankful for Emily and so was mother.
Falcon: They were very good friends after that and she would visit us and we would stay at her place for the winter and bad weather.
Dodger: I would love to meet this dog.
Rita: So would I.
They looked at the clock.
Dodger: We have to go now; we'll bring the gang along next time you two could finish your story.
Falcon: It was nice meeting you.
Rita: It was nice meeting you too, take care.
They left; with Falcon looking at them then turned around and went to sleep.
