Q.N.: The Terriers have been referred to as Dan, Joe, and Adam, that's what I will refer to them individually
Coco and Honey had both left the Heeler house in their respective mother's vehicles. Daisy was upset and disappointed with both Bandit and Chilli, surely if the neighbor kid knew what Bluey had done to her sister, Bluey's own parents knew as well, and they had done nothing to discipline her about her horrible actions. Bella on the other hand was more understanding and held nothing against her long time friends, she was there for Chilli when Chilli was a new mother and she wasn't going to let something, no matter how tragic, ruin their friendship. So why did she leave? Because of Coco, at first she was trying to ignore what the small chow chow was saying but then she noticed what Honey had said was true, Bluey really didn't deny that she had killed Bingo, which led to many thoughts running in her head "What would happen if I or the others made Bluey mad, would we be next?" soon the two cars would drive parallel next to each other with both mothers lowering their windows to speak to each other "Well, they could still have a playdate, how about my house?" The beagle mother asked the poodle mother. Bella nodded, while Daisy seemed remorseless, she couldn't help but feel bad, Bluey may have done something horrible but she's still just a small kid, and it truly seemed like her actions haunted her, surely she hid this from everyone for a reason.
A short drive later and both cars arrived at Honey's home, where they were greeted by Honey's father: Marcus "Back already?" he smiled and waved at Bella and Coco as they exited their car. Daisy would walk closer to her husband and whisper in his ear the events of what happened. Marcus' eyes widened with surprise upon hearing this "But…Bandit never said anything about" Daisy shot him a glare "Well do you think he'd be comfortable telling anyone that his daughter killed his other daughter in cold blood?" Marcus nodded in agreement. Bella couldnt believe her ear "Cold blood? It was dogslaughter not homicide, Bluey would never do something like that on purpose" to avoid hearing the rest of the conversation Bella just pulled out her phone "I'll invite some of the others'' Coco grabbed her mother's hand "Do you think you can tell Indy's mum? I think they stayed behind on accident" Bella shook her head "Sweetheart, Indy wanted to stay behind with Bluey" Coco seemed concerned "B-but, what if Bluey hurts her?!" Bella was disturbed by her daughter's judgemental behavior "Coco Poodle, that's enough" Coco seemed thought of her best friend choosing to stay behind with Bluey was enough to make her worry for Indy's safety. "Well, at least Mackenzie wasn't there" Bella sighed as she decided to dial the parents of the other kids to invite them over to Honey's house. "Hey Coco let's go to my backyard" Coco smiled and followed Honey.
"I just can't believe it, Bingo was such a sweet kid, why do you think Bluey did it?" Coco asked. Honey shrugged "Who knows, maybe Bingo got more attention from their parents and Bluey was jealous of it all" The two girls decided to have a tea party while they waited for their other friends to arrive. Within 30 minutes, Chloe, The Terriers, Snickers and Winton had arrived at Honey's house for their playdate. The parents of all the children outside engaged in a rather heated and intense conversation regarding the Heeler family, Bella and Chloe's parents remained quiet, could it because they really liked the Heelers? Could it be because they couldn't take the word of a sleepy child? Either way they chose not to give their opinions to avoid any frustration. While they were not able to make out much of the conversation they were able to hear bits and pieces "Why is everyone talking about Bluey?" Dan, the oldest of the terriers asked. "And why do they seem mad at her?" Joe, the youngest, followed with another. Coco decided they should have a serious conversation instead of continuing with the tea party. "Alright everyone, gather in a circle and we can tell you what's going on" They did as they were instructed and Chloe began with a question "Is Bluey in trouble? Can we help her?" Honey sighed and stood up and faced Chloe "No Chloe, Bluey is the trouble and I doubt you'd want to help her" Snickers took his hat off "But…why not? Bluey is friends with all of us" he then looked around, seeing how only half of their class was at Honey's house "Speaking of which, where is everyone else?" Coco grunted out of frustration "They're at Bluey's house, Rusty, and Jack, and….Indy" She looked a bit sad upon realizing Indy was still not among them. Joe questioned, "Are you squabbling with Bluey?" Honey spoke while passing out snacks to everyone "No, Bluey did something horrible, she killed Bingo" The group of young pups all gasped in surprise at hearing this. Snickers was the first to speak "Wait…didn't Bingo get hit by a car? Bluey can't drive" Honey glared at him, perhaps it's because he'd rather not think something bad about his friend but the question was pretty dumb "No Snickers, she pushed Bluey into the way of a moving car" Chloe stood up, her fist shaking in anger "That's ridiculous! Do you even have any proof for that!" Coco walked over and put her hand on Chloe's fist "Not much proof, but when someone asked Bluey to deny that she didn't kill her, she wouldn't" Chloe backed away from Coco, she was unsure about everything she just learned. "Even so, I went to Bingo's funeral, I didn't speak to Bluey but I could tell she was very sad…she loved her sister" Honey growled "Wake up Chloe! If she loved Bingo then there wouldn't have been a funeral in the first place!" Chloe could feel her pulse race "I'm sure that-" Before she could finish Honey interrupted "I'm sure that you're like the others, and you're defending a killer!" Chloe couldn't believe this, even if Bluey did kill Bingo, there was no way that Bluey was as cruel or evil as these two were making her out to be. Chloe's breathing sped up "Watch it, that's my best friend you're talking about!" Coco rolled her eyes and scoffed at Chloe "and my best friend would rather be with your best friend, a murderer, instead of here, safe with me" Chloe wanted to her to shut up, she wanted to hurt Coco and Honey, she came over for a play date, not to talk about one mistake. They were tossing around the words "Murderer" and "Killer" as if Bluey was some deranged villain. Finally Winton broke his silence "Does…that mean we still have to go to school with her?" "I hope not, I mean if it's true" Dan replied. Snickers raised an eyebrow "But did she really do it?" Coco and Honey spoke in unison to answer his question with a simple "YES!" Snickers put his hat back on and lowered it "I don't want to go to school with her either then…" The Terriers nodded in agreement. Chloe couldn't believe what she was hearing, Bluey had been nice to everyone there and they were all turning against her, tears filled Chloe's eyes and she started to run away from the group. She wasn't having a good time and she didn't want to be there anymore. "Chloe! Where are you going?" Honey began to follow. "AWAY FROM YOU!" Honey stopped following, her head drooped as she realized she hurt Chloe's feelings with her insensitivity. Chloe ran to her parents and hugged her father's leg tightly. Frank clearly saw she was upset "What's wrong sweetie?" Chloe took a second to speak "Coco and Honey are saying mean things about Bluey" Frank petted her understanding "Yeah, I think we should go home" Her mother and father entered the car and drove off to their home.
Honey returned to the others "Well Chloe's gone" Coco rolled her eyes "Who needs her" Winton stood up and faced Coco "But…she's our friend" Snickers looked at the english bulldog "Bluey was our friend to but you were the first to say you didn't want to go to school with her" Winton quickly turned around and looked at his taller friend "But you agreed! You said it too!" The Terriers joined in with Winton "You did! You said it too! You said you don't want to go to school with Bluey!" Snickers sucked his teeth "I just…what if she snaps? We might be her next targets" Honey jumped up "Exactly! Nobody is closer than family and Bluey killed her! I f we arent as close to her as Bingo was then maybe she'll find a way to get rid of us one by one as well!" Coco's eyes widened "Think she has a way of getting rid of an entire group at once?" Her question made the entire group's worries grow "W-what makes you say that?" Honey asked. Coco thought about it "Well, she has Rusty, Jack and Indy!" "Maybe even Mackenzie" Winton added, he assumed Mackenzie would be with Bluey since he liked the idea of those two dating. "MACKENZIE WOULDN'T BE WITH HER" Coco shouted, her jealousy got the best of her, while she never had anything against Bluey before, she absolutely despised how much time the two of them spent together.
Honey chose to ignore Coco's sudden outburst and asked another question "What are we gonna do if she shows up to school tomorrow?" The others all turned their gazes to her, the question never crossed their minds. "Maybe we could make her stay home somehow?" Dan asked but Adam shook his head "That's not going to work, besides we don't really have any way to do that" "We could always just ignore her" Snickers added his opinion into the mix Coco pointed at Snickers and nodded "Yeah…we don't have to play with Bluey, it's like Calypso says, we're in charge of ourselves so not even she can make us play with Bluey'' she said this without realizing the irony of how she felt towards Indy and possibly Mackenzie spending their time with Bluey instead of her. "Yeah, but we might have to talk to Bluey and stuff when we don't have free time" Joe spoke letting them know Bluey couldn't be ignore 100% of the time "and she might try to talk to us then" Honey would smirk while thinking of Bluey "Yeah but we won't be able to be alone during free time, like ever, she might get rid of us if we do" While she thought it was funny the others stayed silent "Sorry…just thinking out loud" Coco turned towards the others "So it's decided then? When we don't need to, don't play with Bluey, but I think we should convince the others to ignore her as well, who knows what lies she might be telling Indy and the others" they all nodded in agreement. They once saw Bluey as a good friend but with this new information they only saw her as nothing more than a potentially dangerous threat "Wait what do we tell Pretzel?" Winton asked Honey pondered about it "Why not just everything we talked about here? Would he even care? He's always sort of been…a loner? I mean I think I can count on one hand how many times he's actually played with any of us" They nodded in agreement once again. With everything between them decided, it seems Bluey's life would become more stressful, at this point, her entire class knew of her actions and half of them were now against her, the only ones who did not currently know were her teacher, Calypso, and their chihuahua friend, Pretzel. All anyone could do now as the hours ticked down for them to go to school was wait anxiously. The real question that remained was, how would they all feel? And would they regret their decisions if they knew how it would affect their friendships with each other?
A.N: Another short chapter, only because I have been anxious about the next ones and have been trying to get this one out of the way. I apologize to any reader that was hoping for more out of this one.
