When Dashin finally drags her to the lobby, he grabs a hold of the collar around her neck. Mato hears laughing, and turns around growling at the noise maker.

"Looks like she likes giving you a hard time." Zoe says as she takes a step forward. Dashin looks at her.

"She doesn't like anyone being around her." He says. Zoe looks down at Mato.

"Well, I'm sure she'll change her mind when she meets Lazer." She says, examining Mato.

"I'm sure." He says, sounding kind of skeptical as he smiles. He looks down at Mato. "Looks like I'm turning her over to you." Zoe smiles.

"Thanks." She says as she pulls out a harness. As soon as Mato sees it, she almost gags.

*PINK! I HATE PINK!* Mato mentally shouts. Zoe takes the leash from Dashin, and walks Mato over to a nearby post, where she ties the leash. Zoe then bends down next to Mato.

"Let's get this on you." She says. Mato rolls her eyes, growling.

*There is no way in hell you're going to get that, that, THING on me! I'm black and silver! Pink does not look good with those colors! I think that woman has lost it.* Mato growls. Zoe hooks a leash to the harness, and undoes the collar. She hands it back to Dashin.

"Thank you, Dashin." Zoe says, smiling at him. He smiles back.

"No problem, hope you'll come back soon." He says. She smiles at him.

"Yeah." She says as she looks down at Mato. She smiles as she says. "Come on." Mato reluctantly follows her out the door. Dashin watches as Mato follows Zoe.

"Well, look at that! She's actually listening to Zoe." He watches as Mato jumps up in the back of Zoe's car. He laughs, and walks away.

Meanwhile, Mato jumps in the back of the Jeep, and Zoe shuts it.

*God damn! Why me?* Mato questions. She jumps, and spins around when she hears a voice.

*Just your luck, I guess.* When she's completely turned around, she sees another wolf, and of course...

*A male-wolf! That's the last thing I need, OR want right now!* She curses. The male-wolf walks towards her, and she growls menacingly. He grins at her.

*You can't stop me! You're muzzled!* He says, sounding cocky. She mentally curses her bad luck.

*God damn...My luck sucks.* She shuts her eyes when she feels him lick her face. She growls, and moves as far away from him as she could get. He grins, and walks towards her.

*Resistance is futile!* She says in a mocking voice. She shakes her head.

*No it's not! Don't come near me.* She shouts.

*Stop resisting, I will get you eventually. We have a good six hour drive to get home.* He says, grinning. Her mouth drops open at that.

*That's a long time to be cramped in here...WITH YOU!* She says, glaring at him.

*Haha! Yeah, well...* He shrugs.

Five and a half hours pass. Mato has successfully kept him at bay for nearly six hours.

*Only a little longer, and I'll be out of this god damn box of a place!* She coaxes herself. The car suddenly hits a bump, and she whines as she loses her balance, tumbling to the ground...um...car floor...I guess. She whine/growls when he gets on top of her, and grabs her by the scruff of the neck. She wiggles underneath him, trying to get free. *NO! Get off!* She pleads.

*Nope.* He says in a matter-of-fact tone as his teeth dig deeper into her neck. She growls at him, only to get bitten harder every time she growls.

*Argh!* She shouts in exasperation. He jumps off her just before the car door opens. When she looks up, she sees a smirking Zoe.

"Come on, Lazer." Zoe says, looking at him. He jumps out of the car, and Zoe turns a smile to Mato. "Have fun?" She asks. Mato growls at her, only to get smacked. "You DO NOT growl at me!" Zoe commands as she grabs a hold of Mato's harness, and pulls her out of the car. "Shall we go see your new home?" Zoe asks, gesturing to the huge house sitting in front of them.
