******* Peanut's & Grape's House *******
"Watch out for that turtle!" Peanut said looking at the TV.
"I got it" I replied, quickly hitting the A button to jump on the turtle and kick him away. Me and Peanut were playing a Mario game on the Wii, which he got from Christmas. He was playing as Mario and I was Luigi.
"You're pretty good at this."
"Yea, I've played Mario games before."
"Did your other owner have Mario?" he questions, still keeping his attention on the game.
"Uh, I guess you could say that." With that being said, we put our full attention back into the game. We continued on through the level, dodging all the Goomba's and Piranha Plants. Until a Goomba fell down from an above platform, killing Mario.
"Stupid Goomba! Shadow you have to beat the level by yourself. If you die we'll have to start all over again, no pressure or anything."
"Peanut could you keep it down, I'm trying to sleep" Grape said walking into the room. "Oh, hi Shadow."
I paused the game, "Hey Grape, sorry did we wake you up?"
"No, Peanut woke me up with his big mouth."
"Hey, I blame the Goomba for killing me!" Peanut said.
"You're playing Mario?" Grape asked taking a seat on the couch.
"Yea and peanut just died to a Goomba" I laughed.
"A specially trained ninja Goomba..." Peanut said quietly.
"Why don't we take turns so we can all play? Here grape, you can play my guy" I said handing her my controller.
"Are you sure? I don't mind watching" Grape said, trying to hand it back to me.
"No I'd feel bad if you just watched, and I don't mind. Me and Peanut have been playing for quite a while now" I said smiling.
"Alright" She said unpausing the game.
"Grape watch out for that Goomba!" Peanut nearly yells.
Grape stomps onto the Goomba and continues on.
"I'm not going to die from a Goomba like you, I'm actually good at Mario" Grape says sticking her tongue out at Peanut.
"You're pretty good at this" King says to Fox.
Fox was tracing Shadow's scent, with King following him.
"Thanks; I used to play Hide-N-Sniff all the time when I was a pup" Fox replies. Fox stops walking and looks up the driveway to a house.
"What is it?" King asks.
"His scent leads to Peanut and Grape's House" Fox explains.
"Why would he come here? He doesn't even know them; he hasn't really even met anyone."
"Let's go find out" Fox says as both dogs walk to the front door. Fox knocks on the door.
Knock Knock Knock.
"Peanut go get the door" Grape says focusing on the game.
"Why do I have to get it" Peanut says getting up.
"Because you're still dead" Grape replies.
Peanut went to the front door and opened it. "Hey Fox, hey King what's up?"
"Peanut were looking for Shadow, is he here?" I hear Fox ask.
"Yea he's in the living room" Peanut tells them.
I hear the door close, and see Peanut, King, and Fox enter the living room.
"Why did you run off like that?" King asks me.
"What are you talking about? You're the one who left me at home" I retort back to him.
"You should have stayed at home, you can't just wander around on your own" King says. "C'mon we need to get home for dinner." King hands me my scarf.
"I don't want to, I'm perfectly fine right here." I really didn't want to go back. King grabbed me, holding me underneath his arm. "Hey put me down!"
"Thanks for watching him, but we have to go" King said before carrying me out the front door.
"Uh, Bye" Fox said, following King.
I hung limply from King's arm as he carried me down the sidewalk. "Can I just walk?"
"If I do that you'll just run off. Every time I take my eyes off you, you run off somewhere."
I sighed. King stopped walking; I looked up and saw we were in front of Fox's house.
"Rematch tomorrow?" Fox asked.
"You know it"
"Alright, see ya" Fox says walking up to his house.
"Bye"
"Bye Shadow, be good now" Fox says to me.
"Bye Fox" I said waving to him. King started walking again. Fox is really nice, Peanut and Grape are too. I just don't understand King though. First he's a total jerk to me, and now he's acting like he's my parent. I sure do miss my real parents...
