Part 5
Johnny, Dukey and Mary checked out of the hotel, and asked the concierge if he had seen anyone who looked like Susan.
"Actually, yes. She was being leaded by a fat cat, a butler, and a toy maker" he said, scratching his head. Clearly the combonation was strange to him.
Johnny's eyes grew wide. Mary turned pale. What would Mr. Mittens and Whacko want with Susan?
"Did they happen to say which way they were going?" Mary asked.
"The toy maker said something about heading to the swamp" the man said.
They should have seen that one coming. The swamp was where their HQ was, after all.
"Thanks" Johnny and Mary said. They left with Dukey, and as soon as they were a few blocks down the street Dukey decided to speak up about Johnny and Mary's strange behavior.
"So, why are you two acting so wierd around each other?" he said.
"What are you talking about? I'm not being wierd! YOU'RE the talking dog, and you call ME wierd!" Mary said, followed by a creepy, yet nervous laugh.
"First, ouch. Second, yes I am. You two have been acting wierd ever since last night when Johnny suggested you sleep in the same bed" Dukey pointed out. Johnny and Mary blushed at the memory.
"Fine... I guess it was gonna come out sooner or later" Mary said with a sigh. She stopped and turned to Johnny, and grasped his hand, causing Johnny to also stop. He turned to her.
"Johnny... I... I'm in love with you!" Mary blurted out. Johnny's eyes grew wide. Mary teared up and ran.
She ran ahead of them, until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned, knowing full well who it was.
"Why would you run away like that?" Johnny asked, pain in his voice.
"I knew you'd hate me after I told you..." Mary said, and Johnny rolled his eyes.
"Now why would you think that?" he asked, and before Mary could reply Johnny kissed her. As it registered in her mind, Mary began to kiss back.
The kiss was soft yet passionate. It was also their first kiss, for both of them. Johnny broke the kiss first, and looked to Mary for a response.
"Wow..." was all she could say. Johnny chuckled.
"Aw..." was heard, and they turned to see Dukey with a large smile. They both blushed.
"Hey, I think it's sweet" Dukey said, still smiling.
"Thanks" Mary and Johnny said in unision.
"And... it's not as wierd as the fact that I'm in love with Susan" Dukey added hesitantly. Mary's eyes widened.
"What?Really? Because, just five nights ago, she told me she's in love with you!" she exclaimed.
"Oh... wow..." Dukey muttered, and Mary and Johnny ended up having to drag him the next three blocks.
XD Poor Dukey I think he fainted!
