The Puppy

Chapter Six

A/N: Well, it took over a month to update this, but my cousin and I are working on a new fanfic together, which needs to be finished before she leaves on Saturday, so that's been our main priority for the past few weeks. But if you want to look at the fic (maybe even leave a review, hint hint), there's a link to it on my author site thing…

Anyway, this will probably be the last update for awhile, but I'm also going to try to get at least another chapter up of Sacrifice, Risks Taken, and possibly Talent-less Tellius within a week. Hopefully.

"Ready to go for a walk, Girls?"

"Uh-huh!"

"You bet!"

"Geoffrey?"

"I guess…"

"Renny?"

The puppy barked, which just so happened to make everyone laugh, as Renning attached the leash to his collar. The five of them then headed out the door.

--

They walked through the palace gates and out into the 'outside world' as Renning liked to call it. On very few occasions was Renny allowed to venture past the gates, but when he was, he went absolutely nuts, to say the least.

He went here, then there. Sniffed this, then that. Walked, then ran. Chased things, ate things he probably shouldn't have, tugged on his leash, barked a whole lot, laid down whenever he felt like it--pretty much whatever he pleased.

"Oh! Guess what, Uncle Renning!"

"What?"

"Our friend has a dog too!"

"Yeah! Her name's Calamity!"

"That's a nice name."

"Uh-huh. Her name's actually Calamity Jane, but everyone calls her Calamity."

"Right! She's a Cattle Dog--Red Heeler to be exact."

"How do you girls know all this?"

"Her mom was telling us."

"Yeah. We went over to her house yesterday for a play date."

"Hmm… You know what, Lucy?"

"What?"

"If people can have play dates, why can't dogs?"

"I don't know…"

"We should invite Calamity to come over and play with Renny!"

"Wait just a second…invite her to come over where?"

"To your palace, of course!"

"No, no, no, Elincia. I don't think that's such a good idea."

"But Uncle Renning!!"

The puppy face. How he despised it. Especially from his niece or Lucia. As I've said, he could never deny it, and it always made him give in.

He sighed.

"Fine…"

"Oh thank you, thank you, Uncle Renning!"

Conversation turned back to the usual, but all Renning could think about was having not one, but two puppies in his palace. It would be a long, annoying day.

A/N: I loved how Geoffrey only had one line, which was only two words long, in this entire chapter. At least I think that's all…

Oh, and I found it necessary to point out that while writing this, apparently a bug landed in my drink and when I looked down, it was swimming around in my cup. Gross…I don't like bugs…they freak me out.

Now to comment on my reviews…

Fire Emblem MewMew: It was definitely funny when he didn't even notice. The highlight of writing this fic is that I can make Geoffrey look bad. Yeah, I don't like Geoffrey much. I don't know why though, he's actually pretty cool. I don't know…he just irritates me.

Tesla Shoui: You want Calamity, don't you? …I do… She was soooo sweet! Even her squirming and accidentally hitting me in the jaw with her head was cute. But it hurt… But I really don't care…

Okay, so that's over with. Now hopefully people will review this chapter, but I'm not going to beg or anything (Hahaha), and yes, I like putting extremely long author's notes that are slightly (or a little more) off topic.
