After a few weeks, Dixie and Zach were dating.
It was all Dixie could think about for that time. Zach, Zach, and more Zach.
One night she laid with her eyes open on her cushion in the trailer, watching everybody else sleep.
She was far from being able to drift off. Her mind was too busy on one subject-you guessed it.
Zach.
Dixie set her head on her paws and turned, looking at where Cash slept right across the aisle to her.
He was already staring back at her.
Dixie felt surprised, since Cash was always such a deep sleeper.
"Hey. Can't sleep either?" she whispered to him.
He snorted, averting his gaze to the window above her, "Yea."
She cocked her head, lifting it off her paws, "Something wrong?"
Cash thumped his tail loudly on his cushion, but the others slept soundly,
"No. Just that you spend all your time with Zach and not enough time rehearsing, but it's none of my business."
Dixie couldn't believe it-Cash was jealous.
She also had it feeling it wasn't just about the rehearsals, "C'mon, darling. Don't act like that."
Dixie shook out the silky waves of fur that hung around her eyes, "It's no big deal."
Cash scoffed like it was the most ridiculous thing he heard, "Fine, then. If you don't show up for rehearsals everyday now, you're fired. Again." He growled.
Dixie just rolled her amber eyes. She was expecting this one way or the other, "Fine then."
Cash set his head on his paws, still fuming. He didn't really expect her to give in so quickly.
Secretly, he wanted her to decide to break up with Zach and join the group again.
Bah, who needed a stupid girl anyway? He growled to himself.
Dixie watched him.
She wanted to go to sleep now, since her thought bubble of Zach had long disappeared from her mind, anyway.
Setting her head down, she closed her eyes and slept.
