Chapter Six

I was woken up by something warm and wet on my face. Confused and half-asleep, I opened my eyes a crack, only to come face to face with something white with frigging fangs.

I screamed in surprise, and the thing tumbled off my bed. Clutching the blanket tightly, I peered over the side of the bed.

I burst out laughing.

A fluffy little puppy was laying on my floor, looking up at me with eyes so blue they were almost white. Its fur was the purest white, and judging by its features, my guess was that it was a Siberian husky. There was a red bow tied around its neck, and I was struck by how adorable it was.

I reached down and scooped the shaking puppy up and scratched its head, trying to soothe it. My scream had definitely scared the poor thing.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, puppy," I crooned, rubbing its neck. Its little pink tongue flicked out to lick my hand, and I came to the conclusion that it had been licking my face when I woke up.

I heard a chuckle from the other side of the room.

"That's one of your Christmas presents," Dad told me, grinning. "She's cute, isn't she?"

I smiled. "Adorable. Thanks, Dad."

He came to sit on the bed and began scratching behind the puppy's ears. "What are you going to name her?" he asked.

I gazed down at the puppy, trying to think of a name that fit.

"Fang," I said decidedly after a moment, thinking back to the moment I woke up.

Dad raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that kind of boyish?"

I shrugged. "It suits her, does it not?"

He smiled softly at Fang. "Yeah, it does. I have to give your brother and sister theirs, now." He turned to face the door. "Pavel, bring them in," he called.

Pavel came in, carrying two squirming husky puppies with red bows around their necks. One was black and white and the other was reddish-brown and white. They both had eyes that were a darker blue than Fang's.

"God, they're adorable," I said, grinning.

"I know. I was thinking about giving the reddish one, the girl, to Lily and the boy to Cameron," he told me.

"Good idea. I know they'll love them," I murmured, pulling the blankets off and getting up, Fang held tight in my arms.

The three of us trekked down the stairs and down a hallway to Cam's room. I went in without knocking and pushed him off the bed.

There was a thud and a groan as he hit the floor. He sat up and glared at me, rubbing his head. And then he noticed Fang and the boy puppy in my arms.

"Where did you get the puppies?" he asked, eyeing her.

"Christmas present," I replied. "Jealous?"

He rolled his eyes and stood up. "Why do you get two?"

I laughed. "I don't." I held the black and white one out. "This one's yours. Dad got them for us. It's a boy, by the way."

He took the puppy from my outstretched hand and rubbed its head.

"What'd you name yours?" he asked.

"Her name is Fang," I said proudly, grinning.

"Well, I think I'm gonna name mine Jet," he announced.

I rolled my eyes. "Come on, I bet Dad's given the other one to Lily by now."

I was answered by a squeal from downstairs and a loud "Thank you, Dad!"

Grinning, I carried Fang out to the living room, Cam and Jet following behind.

I heard them climbing the stairs and walking to the living room. Lily came in first, red hair mussed from sleep, holding her puppy.

"What did you name her?" I asked.

She frowned. "I'm kinda stuck on that. Did you guys both name yours?"

We nodded. "This is little miss Fang," I said, putting her on the floor to walk around.

"Mine's Jet," Cam added.

Fang scuttled over to Lily and licked her toes, making her giggle. She set her puppy down beside her, and the two began rolling around and playing with each other.

"I was thinking of naming her Zoe," Lily murmured, biting her lip.

"Zoe's a cute name, sis. And, it suits her," I said. Cam let Jet down to play with his sisters.

"Zoe is is, then," she announced, grinning. She came to sit with Cam and I.

"Where did Dad go?" Cam asked.

Lily shrugged. "I think he went to his room. He was saying something about getting our other presents," she replied.

As if on cue, Dad came back in, a box and two little bags in hand.

He handed the box to Cam, who eagerly tore it open.

His eyes widened. "Holy crap! Thanks, Dad!" he exclaimed. I peered over and saw that it was a new XBOX 360 with Kinect.

"You're welcome, son." He turned to Lily and I. "The presents in these bags are for the both of you to share, okay? The ones I gave each of you are primarily yours, but I want the both of you to share," he said, handing us each a bag. Puzzled, we nodded and pulled the tissue paper out. I turned the bag upside down, and some car keys landed in my palm. Same with Lily.

After a moment of stunned silence, Lily asked, "You got us cars?"

Dad grinned. "Merry Christmas, girls."

We both jumped up and tackled him with a hug before running out to the garage, where a gleaming purple 2011 Chevy Camaro convertible sat beside a cerulean blue 2011 Ford Mustang GT convertible. I hit the unlock button on the remote, and the headlights of the Camaro flashed.

Lily and I faced each other and squealed excitedly. I got my freaking dream car for Christmas, and it was purple. My ultimate favourite color!

We both ran and got in our cars. The inside of mine was white leather with black accents.

I rested my hands on the steering wheel and grinned, leaning back in the comfortable seat. "You and I will get along just fine," I told the car. I decided that I was going to call her Grape.

Dad came into the garage, grinning. "Like them?" he asked.

"More like love them!" we chorused.

"I'm glad," he told us. "I was going to get them this summer, but you're both in need of cars now."

So true. After my Trans Am was destroyed, we were left car-less.

After we both sat in both cars, we made our way inside to get ready for our day. We'd be going shopping with Mia in a couple of hours, so we needed to hurry.

I took a quick shower, blasting music from my iHome. When I got out, I ran to my room to pick clothes out. I decided on white skinny jeans, an Elmo t-shirt and a plain black zip-up sweater. I sat in front of my vanity table and plugged my flat iron in and let it heat up. While it did, I headed to the bathroom to brush and blow-dry my hair until it was a dry cluster of curls. I went back out to my vanity table and pinned sections of my hair up so that I could straighten it.

After half an hour of straightening my hair to perfection, I applied some makeup. I applied thick lines of black liquid eyeliner to the top lids and a thinner line on the bottom with an eyeliner pencil. I curled my lashes and dabbed some mascara on, finishing with some clear orange-flavored lip gloss that I got at Bath & Body Works.

I dug through my still-unpacked suitcases for my red Converse high-tops and pulled them on.

I was lacing them up when Lily knocked on my door.

"Come in," I called, switching feet.

The door opened, and she came in. She wore dark grey skinny jeans and a long-sleeved navy blue top with abstract designs on it. She wore cute black ankle boots on her feet.

I finished tying my shoes and texted Mia, while Lily sat at my vanity table and touched up her makeup.

U ready? I sent.

My phone beeped a moment later. Yeah :) I live in Windsor Manor, ok? I'll b waiting 4 u outside.

I sent her another text. Gotcha. Lily's coming 2, ok?

Yay! she texted back.

I tucked my Samsung Galaxy S into my pocket and stood.

"Let's roll," I told Lily, who was dabbing some more mascara on.

She twisted the cap on and stood, nodding. "Which car?" she asked.

"Well, do you feel like driving?" I asked.

She grimaced. "Not really. So, the Camaro?"

I nodded. "Her name is Grape. Get used to it," I said, grinning.

She rolled her eyes, and I grabbed my keys off my nightstand.

I slung my purse over my shoulder and grabbed my black peacoat, and then we left my room and headed downstairs.

"We're going!" I called. I gave Fang a little pat as I passed her and then opened the door that led to the garage.

We jumped in the car, and I pressed the button to open the garage door. I hooked my iPod up and let Lily pick the song.

"Man, I wish it was summer. I'd put the top down," I said with a sigh. I'd always wanted a convertible, and it sucked that I couldn't even put the top down now that I had one.

I put the car in gear and pulled out of the garage and onto the long driveway. The car drove perfectly, like a dream.

Windsor Manor was in Millidgeville, so it wasn't far from my house. Windsor Manor was a series of townhouses, and from what I remembered, they were pretty nice.

When we arrived, Mia was waiting outside for us, as promised. She grinned when she saw the car.

"Nice car," she commented. I got out and pulled the seat forward so that she could get in the back. Damn two-seaters.

I grinned at her and got back in. "Her name is Grape. Dad got us cars for Christmas, since I totaled the one I had in Montana," I told her, backing out of the parking space and turning down the driveway. "Where are we going?" I asked.

"McAllister?" Mia suggested.

"Works for me," Lily agreed.

"McAllister it is, then," I said, turning right. McAllister Place was on the East side of town, so I was looking at a twenty minute drive, at the least.

"Man, I wish I could've got a new car for Christmas," Mia said wistfully. "What kind is your car, Lily?" she asked.

"Mustang," Lily replied. "It's a convertible, and it's blue."

"Sweet!" Mia exclaimed. "I'm stuck with a stupid old Civic. And when I say old, I mean it. It's a 1990-something. And it's brown. Talk about gross," she grumbled.

I laughed. "Poor you. How will you live?" I joked.

"I honestly don't know," she replied dramatically before bursting into loud giggles.

"Hey, we should invite Tash," I said. It would take me out of my way, but I didn't care.

"Ooh, I'll text her!" Mia squealed.

A few seconds later, Mia's phone chimed. "Tash is game," she said. Nodding, I turned off of Somerset Street. I passed the Fairville Plaza and turned on to Main Street before I finally turned on to Douglas Avenue.

I stopped outside of the Ozera house and honked twice. Tasha came out a moment later, grinning at us. Lily had to get out to let her in, and she settled in beside Mia.

"Nice ride," she commented as I backed out of her driveway illegally.

"Their dad got them cars for Christmas," Mia told her. "Can you imagine?"

"Must be nice," Tasha said, nudging my arm. I grinned back at her quickly before turning my eyes back to the road.

"I miss my Trans Am," I said morosely. "It was a '78, and dear lord, it was beautiful. But I totaled it completely."

"You were in an accident?" Mia asked.

"Last week," I replied. "I had a concussion, some broken ribs and I bruised my spine."

"Wow . . . that sucks. How did it happen?" Tasha questioned.

Lily stiffened beside me. I sighed. Whenever that night got too into detail, she froze. I mean, that night was traumatic for all of us, but you didn't see me freezing up. I didn't know what her deal was.

"Um . . . I was on the phone to my aunt. She, uh, called to tell me that my mom was shot. She died," I mumbled, my fingers tightening on the wheel.

The was an awkward moment of silence before Mia murmured, "I'm so sorry, guys."

I mustered a smile. "It's okay, we're okay," I replied. I turned on to the highway, since it was a lot faster than driving through the traffic. Plus, it gave me the chance to see how amazing this car really was.

I pressed harder on the gas pedal, enjoying the purr of the engine as the car shot forward.

I drove over the speed limit until I reached the turnoff, where I slowed to a normal speed.

"Damn, this thing is amazing," Tasha commented. I saw her grin in the rearview mirror.

"Tell me about it. This is officially the best present ever!" I exclaimed. "Well, other than Fang."

"Fang?" Mia questioned.

"My puppy. She's a Siberian husky." I dug my phone out of my pocket and unlocked it so I could show them the background, which was a picture of all three puppies. I handed it back to Mia and Tasha. "Fang is the white one, Cam's puppy Jet is the black and white one, and the reddish-brown one, Zoe, is Lily's," I explained.

"Aww! They're so cute!" Mia and Tasha chorused.

"You guys can come over after if you wanna see them," Lily offered, grinning back at them.

"Really?" Mia asked.

"Sure. The old man won't mind," I replied.

"Well, I'll come," she said.

"Me too!" Tasha added.

We chatted the rest of the way to McAllister Place, the main mall in Saint John. I got out and let Mia out, while Lily let Tasha out. I grabbed my purse and closed the door, locking them when Lily closed hers.

Mia hooked her arm through mine as we walked. Once we were inside, I took my coat off and tucked it into my giant purse.

"First off, I need an Iced Capp. Fang woke me up early this morning, and I need caffeine," I announced, turning towards Tim Horton's.

They didn't argue, and we all got in line.

The employee smiled at me. "Welcome to Tim's Horton's, may I help you?" he asked.

I smiled. "I'll have a medium Iced Cappuccino, please."

"With cream, milk, or chocolate milk?"

"Cream, please," I replied.

He nodded. "Anything else?"

"Yeah, I'll have a chocolate glazed doughnut."

He pressed a few buttons and told me my total. I handed him a five dollar bill and told him to keep the change, since it was only a dollar. He thanked me, handed me my doughnut, and then I moved to the side to wait for my Iced Capp.

Lily joined me a moment later, and an employee handed me my drink. I grabbed a straw and drank thirstily, enjoying the familiar taste. I honestly think that Tim Horton's was my favorite part of Canada.

Lily took her chocolate Iced Capp from the same lady who gave me mine and began drinking hers as well.

We waited as Mia and Tasha got their drinks, and then we sat down at one of the tables.

"What did you guys get?" I asked.

"I got a hot chocolate," Mia replied, taking a bite out of her honey glazed doughnut.

"I got a large double-double," Tasha said.

I eyed her coffee, grimacing. "Ugh. Coffee is so not my thing. Nasty stuff."

Tasha grinned. "You're missing out, Rosie."

"I'll stick with my Iced Capp, thanks," I replied, shuddering. I took a mammoth bite out of my doughnut, sighing in content.

Once we finished there, we threw our stuff out and started shopping.

We went to Ardène first, where we tried on a bunch of clothes and accessories. We ended up buying a lot there . . . I walked out with three big bags.

We headed to Garage next, where I got a few pairs of jeans and some cute button-up shirts.

Spring was our next stop, a store that sold tons of shoes. I bought some ankle boots, heels, and the most amazing pair of high-heeled leather boots.

We went to Boathouse, where I got some Fox and DC shirts and sweaters and also some perfume.

We shopped for a while longer until we decided that we'd bought enough. I was wondering how we were even going to fit it all in the car . . .

We managed to squeeze all of the bags in the trunk, and then we were headed to Pizza Delight for some lunch.

We grabbed a booth in the back and waited for the waiter to come.

When he did, he pulled out his writing pad and smiled widely. He was nice looking, with a smattering of freckles and bright red hair. His eyes were a lovely clear blue.

"Hey, Mase," Mia said with a grin.

"Hey, Mia, Tasha," he replied, nodding to Tasha. "Who are your friends?"

"Mason, I'd like to introduce you to Rosemarie and Lillian Hathaway-Mazur. Or just Rose and Lily. They're twins, and we've been friends since we were five. Well, Tash was four," Mia replied.

"Twins, eh? You don't look alike," he commented. "But it's nice to meet you, Rose and Lily. The name's Mason Ashford," he said, taking both of our hands and kissing them. He winked at me.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mason," I replied, flashing him a smile. "And we're fraternal twins."

"That's cool." He pulled out his pen. "Now, before I get in trouble for talking, what do you guys want to drink?" he asked.

"Pepsi," Lily and I chorused.

"I'll have a 7up," Tasha told him.

"And―"

"Iced tea?" Mason guessed, cutting Mia off.

"Ah, Mase. You know me so well," she said, grinning.

He grinned. "Maybe I've been around you too long," he joked. "Anyway, I'll bring get your drinks. Decide what you guys want to eat."

We nodded, and he left to pour our drinks.

"I want bacon pizza," I said.

"Same here," Lily chimed in.

Tasha and Mia exchanged a look before saying "Bacon sounds good to me!" at the same time.

When Mason came back, we told him that we wanted a fifteen inch bacon pizza and a twelve inch garlic fingers.

When Mason was out of earshot, I turned on Mia.

"You've totally got it bad for him!" I exclaimed in a whisper.

She blushed. "Is it that obvious?" she asked softly.

"You couldn't be more obvious if you yelled it," Lily replied, grinning impishly.

Mia put her face in her hands. "This is mortifying," she mumbled into her hands.

I reached across the table and pried her hands off of her face. "Why? He totally likes you too," I told her, smiling.

"You think?"

Tasha reached over and put a hand on Mia's arm. "Of course he does! I mean, what's not to like?" she asked rhetorically.

Mia snorted. "There's lots."

Lily, who was sitting beside her, smacked her arm. "Shut up. There's no way he could possibly not like you."

"You guys are awesome, you know that?" Mia asked, grinning.

"Of course we know it," I replied, smirking.

We chatted about random crap while we waited for our food. Mason brought the garlic fingers out first, and I probably ate half of them myself.

I almost drooled at the sight of the pizza. It was cooked to perfection, with big strips of juicy looking bacon.

I ate three out of eight pieces of pizza, while Mia and Lily each had two, and Tasha had one. I got the feeling that Tasha didn't eat much. She'd barely touched the garlic fingers.

I used my credit card to pay, and then we set out for my house.

So, how was it?

I'll put up some links of pics of the puppies when I get home, cuz I have them saved on my computer and I'm currently using Natalee's, since I'm at her house :P Did you guys like their names? I do :D

So, I'll probably update soon :) like I said, the next chapter is my favorite, so I'm really excited for you guys to read it! But, after the 7th of this month, updates probably won't be as regular as they are now (for ANY of my stories), because that's the day that I start my sophomore year of high school :l I'm not excited to go back to school at all...

TO READERS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO FOREVER?: Expect an update on September 6th :) I'm updating that day because it's the one year anniversary of Together Forever! I can't believe it's been almost a year since I posted the first chapter of that...:)
