V. A new feeling

The remaining Rovers arrived a day later due to they masters getting together for some tea and to chat about some contracts so they couldn't make it the other day.

"Yeah finally back here." Hunter said enthusiastically as he made his way with Colleen and Shag through a large hallway.

"I agree with you Huntie." Colleen agreed, but Shag noticed that she was looking around searchingly.

"It will be great to hand out for a few days, running after balls, sleeping in front of the fire…oh sorry we can do that also at home." Hunter said laughing sheepishly when they were suddenly passed by a pleased looking Exile carrying three tick books. "Hey Exile how's it waggin'…huh what are those books?" the Golden Retriever asked blinking.

"Hello comrades, these are my Japanese and German dictionaries and in the case that Shag starts to speak Swish I also got a Swish-Russian dictionary so I will understand everything now." the Husky said grinning as he left three confused canines behind.

"Well, he seems to be happy." Hunter replied shrugging while Colleen shook her head.

It was later that Colleen found her way in to the large common room, Hunter went of looking for Muzzle while Shag went to the kitchen, so she needed to go alone. Upon entering the room thought disappeared her smile when her gaze fell on the black female canine laughing softly while Blitz was whining in German about loosing the game while Exile was madly flipping through his dictionary to understand what the Doberman had said.

"I lost my mirror?" Exile asked while raising a brow before looking strangely at Blitz. "Don't be weird boy." he said.

"Ano, Exile nii-san I think you accidentally mistook 'Spigel' for 'Spiel'." Shadow commented.

"What would I want with a mirror at the moment, I know that I'm handsome without it." Blitz commented, hands on his hips as he looked strangely at Exile.

"Uuups, sorry comrade, sistra."

"Kein Problem/ Daijoubu desu yo." the two replied in union.

"Ugh…and here we go again!" Exile exclaimed while throwing his arms in to the air before grabbing a second book from his side and flipping through it. "Hold on I have them in a minute."

"He certainly needs this vacation." Blitz said while looking over at Shadow who nodded a bit unsure, this was also the time when Colleen decided to make her presence known.

"Hello everyone!" she yelled in to the room.

"Ohayo Colleen-san." Shadow greeted her enthusiastically, but on the inside was she fighting her annoyance about the dark nod the other gave her. "Mou tokusan." she thought, but still referred herself from saying something.

"Hello." was the short reply from Blitz before he turned his attention back to Shadow who was still growling on the inside, she liked to know he ground if someone had a problem with her. "Shall we play a new round?" he offered.

"Mochiron." she replied smiling.

"Dan lass uns beginnen." Blitz said excited for the first time since they become the Road Rovers ignoring Colleen which she really didn't like as strange as it sounded.

"So, how has your day been so far Blitz?" Colleen asked for the first time using the Doberman's actual name and not something like 'Fluffy', 'Blister' or something other just to annoy him.

"Fine." the other replied fully ignoring the use of his name.

"Grrr…" Colleen growled before sending a glare at the other female Rover as she stomped out of the room to either find Hunter or beat the crap out of a few training instruments.

"What is her problem?" Blitz asked after she left.

"Don't know comrade, usually you are the weird boy here." Exile answered from his place on the couch just as confused as Blitz.

"Maybe I should go talk with her?" Shadow asked worriedly.

"Give her some time sistra." Exile told her calmly.

"I agree with Exile, come we finish this game and after that would you like to go for a walk?" Blitz asked her smiling at which Exile tensed.

"Hai, I would like that Blitz-san." Shadow replied.

"Dah, a walk would do the three of us good." Exile said smirking at a gapping Blitz.

"But…" he tried to say, but seeing the other's eyes activating that freezing ray made him shut up and Exile to lean back with a pleased smile while Shadow only held back an amused laugh at the scene.

At the same time was Colleen mercilessly attacking one of the large punching bags inside the training room. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Since the new female Rover appeared felt she bothered by her presence even thought the other was always helpful and polite. Was she really that used to be the only female in the pack that it bothered her that there was now also second of her gender? She felt abso-bloomin'-lutely content when Sport joined they little group for the time being when he was an important witness in a trial so could it really be that she felt her position in the group threatened? Well certainly it was not hard to notice that both her and Exile seemed to share a deeper bond as when they had met each other and Blitz was paying also more attention to her, strangely seemed the later to bother her the most.

With a new hard kick against the bag the chain broke and the sand filled leather fell to the ground with a loud thud like sound.

Colleen hated to feel confused.
