Patch went around the tropical islands. He then suddenly saw something crash down from the sky.
"What on Earth is that!?" Patch's eyes widened.
The something was coming closer and closer. Patch ran off before he could get struck by whatever was falling in the sudden cool crisp night. And where luckily it missed him.
"Whew, that was close," Patch sighed. He then looked, wiping his head with his paw. "What was that anyway?"
A green glow seemed to fill the air, but smoke came out from behind rocks. There came a tiny creature who then emerged from the rocks and laughed maniacally.
Patch glared, then growled, storming over. "I'm not afraid of you, come on out and fight like a dog!"
But to his surprise, it didn't look like a dog at all, the creature actually looked like the alien in his dream.
"Experiment 626!" Patch remembered from his super freaky share dream with Atticus.
The creature hopped out, showing it had four arms, blue fur, spikes on its back with antennae and appeared to have a red uniform on. He snarled and spoke to Patch, using an alien language that could not possibly be understood by Earth life.
"Sorry, I can't understand what you're saying." Patch said before his Equestrian medallion/Pound Puppy tag glowed, giving him the ability to understand what the alien would say.
Experiment 626 kept snarling and speaking, but after a moment, his words became clear and could be deciphered for the Dalmatian puppy. "Take me to your leader or be destroyed, vermin!"
"Okay, first, no! And second, why the heck are you here?!" Patch asked.
"Leader! Now!" Experiment 626 took out plasma guns in his hands.
"Whoa!" Patch jumped back.
"Tell me where I am, you infidel..." Experiment 626 narrowed his eyes.
"You're in Hawaii, a country on the Planet Earth." Patch told him.
"Ee-Arth...?" Experiment 626 asked. "Hawaii...? What galaxy is this?"
Suddenly a raindrop fell one way.
"What was that!?" Experiment 626 shot the road one way.
Another drop fell the other way.
"What was that!?" Experiment 626 then shot the other way.
Another drop then fell on the extraterrestrial's head.
"WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!?" Experiment 626 then pointed his gun up and then shot the sky, which then made raindrops fall like a small shower as predicted earlier by the weather. "Oh, I believe I've angered it."
"No, no, no, no, this is just rain, moisture from the clouds in the sky." Patch told him.
"What is this 'rain' you speak of?" Experiment 626 snarled.
A frog then croaked next to them.
"And who are you!?" Experiment 626 pointed his weapons to the innocent amphibian, trying to make it speak with him like the puppy did. "Some second-in-command? Surrender now or FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
There was a horn blare heard.
"RUN!" Patch yelped as he saw a large truck coming.
"Surrender!" Experiment 626 held up his guns, but got hit by the truck and was getting mangled by the large tires, but didn't seem to be dead or killed in any way.
"Are you okay?" Patch asked out of concern.
The alien groaned, looking a little beat up, but seemed to somehow still be alive.
"He must be indestructible..." Patch said to himself as he came to see the illegal genetic mutation.
The drivers stopped their truck and were about to come out to see what they hit. Patch came over to the knocked out alien and kept him company, even if he threatened the teenage dog, the alien still needed someone to be with in this strange new place. Three men came out to see what they hit as it lightly rained.
"What did we hit?" one man asked.
Patch began to get the alien out from under the truck. The three men came over, shining a flashlight in that direction.
Patch looked down to the alien as its uniform was ripped off from the rough and bouncing tires, but it was still breathing and alive. "Good, you didn't die..." he was glad, not sure if he could've handle it if the creature ended up dead.
"We better call somebody." The second man said.
The alien's arms twitched slightly. The three men decided to call the pet shelter and let them handle the alien.
"Oh, what do I do?" Patch mumbled to himself as the humans seemed to had mistaken this alien creature for a domesticated animal kept as a pet.
"Allow the men to take him to the pet shelter, he was actually destined to be here." A female voice told him.
"Huh?" Patch looked around, then hid away before he could be taken away despite already having a home. "Who said that?"
"Fear not, little one, I believe you already know me." The female voice smiled before appearing as a pink dog from Heaven above.
Patch looked up with glowing eyes. "Annabelle, is it?"
"Indeed, now you must stay close to him and where you know what that means." Annabelle said.
"I have to go with him to the pet shelter, right?" Patch asked.
"Yes, but don't worry..." Annabelle soothed in her obvious angelic tone of voice. "I promise you'll still be able to live with Atticus and the Fudos... I knew from the moment you were born that you would be a perfect match for him."
"Well... Thank you..." Patch smiled, then frowned a little. "Lucky and Flo really miss Charlie."
"He misses them too, my child..." Annabelle replied. "Especially your old Puppy School teacher, Itchiford."
"I hope to see him again, well, actually, I hope to see both of them again." Patch said.
"Perhaps you will someday, Patch..." Annabelle smiled. "Now, go... Go help your special and unique friend."
"You got it." Patch smiled before going off to join his alien friend in the pet shelter.
Back at the hotel, Atticus was getting worried, not because of the rain, but because of Patch.
"He's been gone a while now..." Atticus said once he finished brushing his teeth and was now getting set for bed.
"I'm sure he's okay, dear..." Emily soothed as she tucked Darla in for the night.
"I know, but he should have been back by now." Atticus said.
"It's okay..." Emily cooed. "Patch is a smart dog... He'll find his way back before it gets too late..."
"I hope you're right, Mom..." Atticus yawned as he bundled down into the bed.
Emily smiled as her son went to sleep. She then turned out the light and went to sleep in her seperate room in the suite, gently shutting the door behind her.
"Please be alright, Patch." Atticus said before going to sleep entirely.
Cherry lightly snored in her sleep.
The next day, Atticus was shocked to see Patch was still not back from his walk.
"Hula Class today?" Emily asked her adoptive daughter.
"Not that I'm aware of." Darla replied.
Atticus shook Cherry awake.
Cherry glared up at him. "This better be good..."
"Patch didn't come back last night, I think he's in danger." Atticus said.
"Atticus, it's Patch, thanks to you, he's not a normal puppy..." Cherry mumbled.
"I know, but I'm his owner and I have a right to worry about him." Atticus said.
"Guess I never understood that worry since I never really had a pet myself..." Cherry said as she still had only one eye open.
"There's a luau tonight," Emily said. "Would you kids like to go?"
"We'd love to, Mom, but I really have to go out and find Patch." Atticus said.
"I should go with him..." Darla suggested. "Patch is family.
"Cherry, are you gonna go with them too?" Emily asked.
"I may not be apart of this family, but I've known Atticus longer than all of you..." Cherry said, even if she still had that look on her face as she was comfortable in the bed, but was going to go along too if she needed to.
"Well, be sure to not speak to any strangers." Emily said.
"We won't." Atticus and Darla promised.
"All righty..." Cherry said, getting out of bed. "Let's go find a puppy."
After getting dressed and a quick breakfast, they moved out.
