Ponch hadn't expected Jon's niece and nephew to like him so much. One day with him and they wanted to be with him as much as they could. So… he got a day off and filled in for Jon while he went off to have a meeting and his sister was at work.
Ponch watched the two pups as they played tug of war with a little rope they found, both giggling as they pulled back and forth.
Melinda kept getting pulled forward by her brother squealing. "Huuunter! Play FAIR!"
"I am!"
Ponch chuckled. "He's just got some strength in him from his uncle."
"Yep!" Hunter smirked before giving the rope a hard tug as Melinda was yanked forward as the smaller helicopter squealed giggling.
"Doit again Hunter!"
"Hm… Nah.. Too crazy for my little sis. Right Unca Ponch?"
"Very crazy." Ponch hopped over to the two, giving them a nuzzle. "Man Jon is lucky to have you two."
"We're lucky to have him too... He's been helpin' Mama ever since Papa passed away…" Hunter looked to the side. "He's a good uncle… And we're lucky we got you too… Papa would've liked you."
"Maybe." Ponch chuckled. "I kind of drove your uncle nuts with my antics."
"We heard the stories." Melinda giggled cuddling up to him. "We wanna drive him crazy too!"
"Gotta keep him on his wheels."
"Very true." Ponch grinned. "Ah I am bad influence aren't I?"
"No!" Both pups chirped.
"Oh?"
"Cause you're awesome!" Hunter grinned. Melinda bounced on her wheels a little.
"Yeah! You stop the bad guys all the time! And your faster then Unca Jon!"
Ponch smirked a bit. "Gotta be if I wanna catch the punks in my landing gear."
"Can you show us how? Please?"
"Sure thing." Ponch backed up a bit, flying into the air. "Picture this, I'm on the highway… some punks go speeding by and are running other cars off the road."
The pups nodded paying close attention. "Yeah, yeah!"
"Then… I go chasing after them… and…" Ponch sped forward, pretending to pounce on a car, bringing in his landing gear. "I catch 'em and slow 'em down!"
They cheered. "Awesome!"
"Unca Ponch is a superhero!"
Ponch smiled. "Unca Ponch, huh?"
They smiled rolling close. "Yeah… You're with us like Unca Jon…. So why not?" Hunter asked as Melinda cuddled up to his landing gear.
Ponch smiled, nuzzling Melinda.
"Don't really have any family so this is kind of new for me."
Melinda squealed, nuzzling back. "Well you're our family now then!"
Ponch chuckled. "Alright then… if the pups say so then it must be law."
They both giggled keeping close to him. "Darn right it is!"
"And if ya break the law then I'll have to take ya in!" Hunter gave his best impression of Jon's serious face.
Ponch gasped. "No!"
"Yes!" The pups cheered. "We'll be CHoPs too!"
"For now, you're just mini CHoPs."
"We can live with that... " Hunter smirked. "... This mean we can put a boot on Unca Jon if he doesn't let us stay up late?"
Ponch shook his head.
"I'll give you chocolate oil if you don't do that."
"OKAY!"
"Good little Choppies."
They giggled before running around him chasing each other.
"We got a speeder on the highway!"
"Get 'em Mel!"
Ponch smiled, relaxing back on his landing gear, sighing happily.
I love this job.
