/The group was walking into the Hermitage/
"So what did Chase and Aelita want?" asked Rebecca
"Aelita said it was a surprise" said Jeremie
/After saying hello to Franz and Anthea they walked up the stairs, they got a huge shock when they opened Chase's door to see a dog tackle Odd, it had a coat of white fur and a grey and black mane, it also had what looked like amber eyes and black ears/
"WOAH!" said Odd
/He fell to the ground as the dog started licking his face/
"Why is there a dog here?" asked Yumi
"Siberian Husky, me and dad got it as a surprise for Aelita over here" said Chase
"What's the dogs name?" asked Jennifer
"We just talking about that when you walked in" said Chase
/Odd got the Husky off of him and gave it back to Chase/
"I like that puppy" said Odd
"He likes you, I think I know why" said Chase
"Because I smell like food, I get that a lot from Kiwi" said Odd
"I remember when we had a Husky on one of our bomb patrols" said Dylan
"Really? I thought it was a German Shepherd or something" said Chase
"You must be going senile" said Dylan
"So you were thinking of a name?" asked Yumi
"Yeah, Dil you remember that Colonel we had in Peshawar?" asked Chase
"Which side?" asked Dylan
"Pakistani" said Chase
Wait, Hamed?" asked Dylan
"Forget it, they both sound horrible for a dog" said Chase
"How about Melanie?" asked Ulrich
"Funny joke Ulrich" said Aelita
"Elizabeth?" asked Odd
"Now that's a little too far" said Ulrich
"Maybe, Riley?" asked Jeremie
"Riley? I don't know, I kinda like it" said Chase
"It does look like a Riley" said Rebecca
"So you're calling him the dog from Call of Duty Ghosts?" asked Dylan
"Call a what now?" asked Odd
"Video game in the future, but he does look like a Riley" said Chase
"I like Riley" said Aelita
/She reached down and petted the dog/
"Alright I guess his name is Riley" said Ulrich
"I always wanted a Siberian Husky" said Rebecca
"Maybe you could take him for a day or two out of the month?" asked Aelita
/Rebecca's face lit up/
"Really?" asked Rebecca
"Its not a problem with us" said Chase
"Wow thank you!" said Rebecca
"No problem" said Chase
"Can I bring Kiwi over sometime to hang out with him?" asked Odd
"Sure, its fine" said Chase
"Great, now is anyone hungry?" asked Odd
"Yeah, I think Riley is starving" said Aelita
/She pointed at Riley and everyone saw as he was trying to bite Odd's pant leg/
"Yeah, you guys staying for dinner?" asked Chase
"I can't, my mom is getting on my case for staying out too much" said Yumi
"I can" said Jeremie
"Me too" said Odd
"Alright, good" said Chase
"What time is it?" asked Yumi
"A quarter to six" said Dylan
"Oh no! I was supposed to be home by five!" said Yumi
/She waived at everyone and kissed Ulrich as she ran out the door/
"Lets go eat" said Odd
"For once I have to agree with one of Odd's ideas" said Chase
"You should have seen him the month before you got here" said Ulrich
"I'm going to guess it didn't end well" said Jennifer
"It didn't" said Ulrich
"Hey it did end up good for Milly and Tamiya!" said Odd
"Because they got the pictures of a lifetime!" said Jeremie
"What the hell happened?!" asked Chase
/Ulrich was about to speak when Odd put his hand on Ulrich's mouth/
"Nothing! Nothing at all! Lets go eat!" said Odd
/He basically just ran everyone out of the room/
/The group sat at the dinner table with Anthea and Franz, eating lasagna/
"So how's school?" asked Franz
"Great, until Odd nearly blew up the chemistry lab in eighth period" said Chase
"He did what?" asked Franz
"It was only a small explosion" said Odd
"Okay, how's finding the FSB bases?" asked Franz
"We ran into a snag but we're nearly around it" said Jeremie
"Did the dog get a name yet?" asked Anthea
"Yeah, his name is Riley" said Aelita
"I like that" said Anthea
"Me too" said Franz
/They continued eating/
"So how long have you known Chase, Dylan?" asked Franz
"Around maybe, I don't know, fifteen years? So basically my entire life" said Dylan
"Really? That's interesting, and you lived in Chicago?" asked Franz
"We both did with our- my parents" said Dylan
"Oh, well I'm sorry about that" said Franz
"Not your fault, if it makes you feel any better it was my step dad we lived with for a couple of years" said Dylan
"Alright, and you and Chase have went all over the world?" asked Franz
"From Alaska to Moscow, and everything in between Greenland and South Africa" said Chase
"Huh, I always wanted to see Hong Kong" said Anthea
"Believe me Mrs. Hopper, it wasn't good" said Dylan
"Why do you say that?" asked Anthea
"Mom, believe me when I say that you don't want to know" said Chase
/He looked down at Riley when he realized that he forgot something/
"Hey dad? Did we get dog food?" asked Chase
/Franz gave a confused look/
"You two didn't get dog food?" asked Ulrich
"We forgot, I didn't even think of it" said Franz
"Its not a problem, I had to go into town anyway" said Chase
"Can I come?" asked Aelita
"Sure sis" said Chase
/They got up and put a leash on Riley, they walked out the door with Jeremie and Jennifer/
