*Let go before I really get pissed!* Mato growls. Lazer looks at her.

"Let her go, Lazer. We both know she's not going anywhere." Zoe commands. He lets go, and Mato walks off towards the door to a HUGE house. She scratches the bottom of the door once she gets there, and doesn't stop until Zoe opens the door. When she did, Mato runs into the house, and runs all over for about three hours.

Three hours pass. Zoe watches as Mato runs past, and puts a hand to her forehead.

"Boy, she had a lot of energy. That she can run all over the house is shocking enough, but she's been at it for hours!" Zoe says as she watches Mato once again speed past.

*Mato, STOP!* Lazer growls. She stops in her tracks, ears going forward as she looks at Lazer.

*What is it?* Mato questions.

*Stop all this running in circles!* He commands. Mato looks at him, confused.

*Why?* She asks.

*You're giving Zoe a migraine.* Lazer growls.

*Oh.* Mato says as she lowers her head, and walks over to Lazer. She follows him over to where Zoe is sitting. He looks at her, and she lays down, putting her head on her paws. Zoe watches with amusement.

"Well, look at that! Looks like she's obeying you." Zoe says. Lazer smiles as he looks down at Mato.

*Stay put until I say that you can get up.* He commands.

*Fine.* Mato sighs. He walks up to Zoe, and lays his head on her lap.

A few hours pass. Mato had fallen asleep on the floor, and is woken up by something wet touching her face.

*Go away.* She complains.

*Not going to happen.* Lazer's voice sounds in her head. *Get up.* He commands. She raises her head, and looks into Lazer's eyes.

*Not going anywhere. Go away.* Mato says in a sleepy voice as she closes her eyes, and lays her head back down. She hears Lazer growling.

*UP NOW!* He commands.

*Screw you.* She growls back.

*GET YOUR ASS UP! Or else.* He says in a pissed off sounding voice. She sighs, and stands up.

*Where am I going now?* She asks as she looks back at him.

*Follow me.* He says, walking past her. She follows him with her head lowered. When he stops, she lifts her head just enough to see a doggy door.

*What the hell?* She questions.

*Go.* He says, motioning towards the doggy door with his nose. She goes through it, followed by Lazer. *This is where you'll be living.* Lazer says as he watches her walk forward, smelling some of the things in the room. She looks back at him with a sad look.

*What is this stuff.* She asks, gesturing towards all the stuff in the room with her nose.

*What do you mean, what is this?* Lazer looks at her with an astonished look on his face.

*I've never seen any of this before.* She explains.

*REALLY!* Lazer asks, flabbergasted.

*Yeah...* She says as she looks at the ground. He walks up to her, and stands next to her.

*How have you lived before you came here?* He asks. Mato looks like she's deep in thought as she looks at him.

*Well...I've been in a kennel for a while.* She says, scrunching up her nose at the memory of the nasty smells.

*And before that?* Lazer asks.

*I was an outcast. Ever since my father disappeared from the pack...well, let's just say that I've been banned from ever going back home.* She says. He watches her, and sighs when he sees her turn away from him.

*That so?* He asks. She walks forward.

*Yeah.* Mato catches a glimpse of a bed, and jumps onto it. She lays down. *How in the WORLD of you rate this luxury?* Mato asks. He grins.

*I listen.* He says, sounding cocky. Mato lifts her head, and looks at him.

*Does listening pay off?* She asks. He jumps up onto the bed as well.

*Yeah.* He says as he looks at her.
