'Ugh….my head.' Thought KO with a groan as he began to regain consciousness. 'It feels like a drum.' He thought as he tried to sit up only to bang his head on something metal. 'Ow!' he held his head and let out a whimper. 'That hurt!'

"Hey little guy, finally awake, huh?" Called a voice, making KO pause as he looked up to see a cage door and the dog catcher looking at him through the bars.

'Huh? Oh great, I'm back here.' He thought with a low groan that came out as a growl.

"Huh, I guess your last owner was pretty rough on you, huh?"

"Arf arf." He barked as he shook his head.

"Well don't you worry little guy, I'll make sure the next people who adopt you are good people, no matter what!" He smiled with a thumbs up before leaving KO alone.

'Not again, why can't I catch a break? I just want to go home to mom!' He thought crossing his arms. 'She's probably worried sick about me.' He thought as he leaned against the wall of the kennel. 'I just hope I don't have to wait too long for a chance to escape.'

The dog catcher put up the sign for free dogs while a bit away was Enid's parents making their way past the building with Whilamena having a parasol over herself to shield her from the sun.

"This is nice, it's been too long since we've been able to take a walk like this."

"Yeah, with the boys away at boarding school and Enid staying with Rad while she looks for her friend we have a lot of free time, huh?"

"Yeah, just wish it wasn't so bright out." She said with a small groan. "Is it ok if we duck inside somewhere for a bit?"

"Sure thing." He said as they quickly ducked into the pet shelter. He looked around while his wife put away her parasol and groaned. "Oh great, it had to be one of these places."

"Hello ma'am, si- loose animal!" Called Max as he saw the two.

"No, no, no, werewolf, not an animal!" He spoke with his hands out as the dog catcher reached for a net. "I have my papers right here! Stay cool, alright?"

"Oh, sorry." he spoke dropping the net while the werewolf pulled out a certificate. "My bad, I've been a little worked up these past few days."

"I can tell." Wilhamena said with a frown.

"Yeah, this little puppy I found got adopted by the wrong person and got shot off in a rocket. So, enough about that, are you two looking for a pet? Today all dog adoptions are free."

"Uh no thanks, we just came in here to get out of the sun." Spoke up Bernard.

"You sure? There's no harm in taking a look, right?"

"Hmmm, well….one little look couldn't hurt." Admitted Wilhamena.

"Great, then just let me show you the animals." He said as he led them towards the back.

"Honey I'm not so sure about this." Remarked Bernard in a whisper. "This is a 'normal' pet shop. They don't even have giant spiders in the front."

"I know, I know, but we're taking shelter from the sun here for a bit, the very least we can do is humor the owner. Besides, we might find something of interest." She said as he nodded hesitantly.

With KO he was nearly asleep before he began to hear Max approaching. His ears perked up before he sat up straight and looked at the window. 'What's going on out there?'

"So, over here we have our canines, they vary in age from around a few months old to around ten years, but their age is on a sheet next to their kennel so don't worry about that for now."

"Let me guess, you muzzle them, right?" asked Bernard with his arms crossed.

"Oh no, not at all, only when they have a history of violence." Spoke Max before stopping outside the door. "In here is the puppy I mentioned before."

"Aw, he's so cute!" Wilhamena cooed as KO instantly perked up.

'Enid's mom? Yes! If she adopts me then Enid will find and recognize me, I'll be able to go home!' He thought with a smile. 'Hey, over here, choose me!' Thought KO who tried jumping against the door and gave out some barks.

"Aw, look at this little guy honey!" cooed Wilhamena with Bernard looking away with a pout.

"Yeah, yeah... it's cute, can we go now? I hate being in places like this!"

"Oh don't be like that. Why don't we adopt this one? He sure looks like he'd be perfect to have in the house."

'Yes, adopt me, that way I can talk to Enid!'

"Are you sure honey?" Bernard asked as scratched his chin. "I thought we weren't going to adopt? Plus I don't know if he'd be comfortable at our place."

"I know what the plan was, but just look at him, he would fit right in, plus with your new job starting he could keep me company."

"Well...I'm just not sure. It'd feel weird to adopt a dog. Why not that parrot? It looks tasty, I mean friendly!" He corrected while pointing to a parrot in a nearby cage.

"That's the reason why, our house isn't... safe for animals that look like food." She remarked with a hand on her hip while her husband groaned and slumped his shoulders.

"Ok fine, we'll adopt him."

"Great! He'll fit right in at home, it'll be like we have another little one running around." She smiled before looking at the dog catcher. "Excuse me, we'd like to adopt that little fella, the excited one."

"Really? Great! Now I just need you to sign this, this and this, and do you want to schedule an appointment to get him fixed?" He asked with a smile. 'Alright, you're getting a new home little guy!'

"Oh, there's no need to worry about that, no female dogs near our house for miles. Besides, he's just a puppy."

"Ok, just wanted to make sure, and what about the large dog behind you wearing a shirt and pants?"

"That's my husband." She frowned.

"Ah, so no fixing then?" He asked as the werewolf growled. "Right, I'll just shut up and get you a leash for the little guy." He said as he began to head to the back. "I'll even throw in a chew toy for free for the mix up, ok?"

"This always happens." Grumbled Bernard while Wilhamena patted his back.

"There there honey, I'll make it up to you when we get home, ok?"

He let out a sigh and nodded. "Alright dear."

"Good, now let's get that little cutie."

"Um, ma'am? Quick question, what do you wanna call him?"

"Hmmm, that's a good question." she tapped her chin. "What do you think Bernard?"

"Well...oh! How about Rover? After my great uncle?"

"Oh! That's perfect! I love it honey." She smiled while the dog catcher moved over and opened the door with a leash.

"Alright boy, let's get you to your new family."

'Yes! Go on, give me to them so I can see Enid!' He thought with a pant and let the leash go on his collar and was lead out and over to the two with Wilhamena rubbing his head.

"Aw, who's a good boy, who's a good boy Roger?"

"Arf arf!" He barked happily as he licked her cheek.

"Come on, you're gonna love your new home." She said as they began to lead him out of the door, opening her parasol before walking into the sun. "Let's head home Bernard."

"Works for me." He remarked as they made their way away while Max himself sighed in relief.

"It's so good to see a dog get adopted….wait, did I give them the free chew toy?" He mused as he shook his head. "If they don't come back for it then it's fine."

(Enid's house)

"Alright Rover, this is your new home!" Wilhamena said as they opened the door. A loud creak was heard followed by a random flash of lightning with KO not phased.

'Oh boy, things are really gonna turn out for the better now.' He thought as he tugged on the leash to head inside. 'Enid, where are you? It's me, KO!'

"Just no marking your territory." Spoke up Bernard quickly. "I don't wanna have to fight for it back."

"And I don't want to clean up any more 'markings'." Wilhamena said as she lightly hit his arm. "So, what do you think, Rover?"

'Where's Enid, where is she?' He thought as he tried to run off into the house, but due to the leash and collar he was stuck with Wilhamena.

"Easy there boy, you'll have plenty of time to look around. I just wanna make sure you don't get lost by accident." She said with a chuckle. "There are more than a few...hazards in my home for a normal puppy like you."

KO turned and shook his head before standing up and started waving his arms around while barking.

"Aw, look at that Bernard, he thinks he's a person." Chuckled Wilhamena as KO lost his balance and fell down.

"Probably trying to copy other people walking." Bernard said as he walked past him. "I have to get ready for work, I'll make sure to say goodbye before I leave honey."

"Alright dear."

"Arf arf arf arf!" KO let out while shaking his head. 'No, listen to me, I'm KO, you two have met me before!'

"Relax Rover, I know you're excited and eager, but we just need to say bye to Bernard first." Said Wilhamena as she reached down and picked him up. "Say goodbye to daddy, ok?"

"Arf?" He barked in confusion. 'Daddy? He's not my dad.'

"Alright Wilhamena, I'm heading out." Called the werewolf with a hat on and holding a briefcase.

"Ok, go knock them dead honey!" She called as she pulled him close with one arm and kissed him quickly.

"I'll be back in no time." He smiled before Wilhamena held KO up to him with Bernard putting on a stern expression. "Remember what I said about territory."

'Territory?' He thought in confusion as the werewolf began to walk away and left the mansion. 'Oh! The whole marking territory thing.'

"Welp Rover, time to give you the grand tour." Wilhamena said as she began to pet him as she started to walk forwards.

"Arf arf!" He let out while trying to wiggle from her hold.

"Shhh, shhh, it's ok, I have a good grip on you, I won't drop you." She smiled rubbing his head while he sighed as she went up the stairs.

'I guess I have to wait till after she's done. I just hope it doesn't take too long.' He thought as he stopped struggling. 'Plus she is kind of good at this petting thing.'

"Relax Rover, this won't take too long."

(2 hours later)

"And this is the kitchen, this is where I make all the meals for our family, Bernard would help but I got tired of finding hair in the meals." Wilhamena chuckled as Ko groaned, so bored he was on the verge of falling asleep. "I'll get your food bowl and water bowl set up in here that way you always have a spot to enjoy your meals, and I know a perfect recipe that'll fill you up in no time flat."

'In no time flat huh? Just like how you said this tour would be short?' he thought as he let out a small bark.

"Oh! Is someone getting a bit tuckered out?" She chuckled as she saw him yawn. "Well how about we find you a nice comfortable spot to nap, huh?"

'I….actually a nap does sound pretty good right now.' He relented as he slowly nodded his head. 'One quick nap then I find Enid.'

"Well we don't have a doggy bed right now, but you can use Enid's bed, she's not here at the moment. Oh! I better give her a call and tell her the good news. Oh she'll be so excited to see you."

'Wait, Enid? Yes! Tell her, tell her I'm here and that she has to come see me now!' He thought as he perked up a bit. He let Wilhamena carry him into Enid's bedroom, which looked like it had various witchcraft items and decorations in it, minus the ninja stuff hanging off the wall before he was set on the bed.

"You relax and get some sleep, I'll check up on you later." She said as she rubbed his head. "Night night Rover.'

'Night..night.' He thought as he dozed off and Wilhamena left the room, both unaware that they were being watched. While he curled up and closed his eyes, the vampire made her way to the phone and picked it up before putting in her daughter's number. She waited a bit before the line was finally picked up.

"Hello? Who is it?" Groaned a tired voice.

"Hi Enid, it's me, your mom!" Wilhamena called cheerfully.

"Mom? What is it? I'm kinda busy right now."

"I know, I know, I just wanted to tell you that me and your father adopted a new pet!"

"Yeah, yeah, that's great mom, really great." She replied, sounding very uninterested.

"He's a cute little puppy we found at random at one of those normal shelters. He even has his own little clothes on and he tried standing up like a person. Oh he's so cute!" She gushed. "Oh Enid, you're going to love him!"

"Yeah, uh huh, sounds good mom, gonna have to get back to you later." Enid said before hanging up.

Wilhamena looked at the phone and shrugged before setting it down and walked away. "Oh well, I'm sure she'll change her tune when she meets him." She said with a shrug. "Speaking of which, I should probably look in on him."

Back with KO, he was snoring with his leg thumping on the bed while two ghosts floated down.

"So, we got some fresh meat in the house, huh?" Spoke Crudde with his arms crossed while Spanky had a finger on his chin.

"Yeah, seems like it, and its sleeping in Enid's bed, we were never allowed to do that, so why is he?" He asked with a huff while Crudde smirked.

"Well, I say if this mutt is gonna move in on our turf, we best show him what to expect, you know, show him the ropes."

"Yeah...you're right! And I think I know just how to do it!" Chuckled Spanky before diving into KO.

"That's using your noodle!" Called Crudde before diving in, making KO wake up and sit up with wide eyes. He began to babble wildly before jerking as he felt something in him break.

"Hey, I think you broke something!"

"It wasn't me, I swear!"

"Liar, you're touching it, and it's smoking!"

"Look, the mutt ain't dead so it's fine!"

KO started to bounce around the floor on his head before rolling across it while sticking his tongue out.

"Hey, move over, I wanna control him!"

"Nuh uh, my idea, my right to drive him!"

"You always get to drive!"

"Because I'm the best!"

"Nuh-uh, I am!"

"No, I am!"

"No, I am, tell him Wilhamena!"

"Wilhamena?!" They both cried out seeing the vampire enter the room with wide eyes.

"Wha- Crudde?! Spanky?! What are you doing to Rover?!" She yelled while glaring at them making them stop moving KO and try giving an innocent smile.

"Nothing Wilhamena, nothing at all, this is just me...Rover?" They made KO say nervously.

She narrowed her eyes before moving over, picked KO up, and proceeded to suck the two ghosts out through the mouth before spitting them out at the ceiling, making them go flat and dazed while she set KO down and put her hands on her hips. "You two better have a good reason for taking over Rover's body, and I mean GOOD."

"Well… he was sleeping on Enid's bed! We never get to do that!"

"Yeah! Also we definitely didn't break that chip thing in him!"

"That's be….wait, what chip?" She asked confused. "We didn't have him chipped."

"Oh...uh…. Well we didn't maybe not break whatever chip he did have in him?" Spanky said nervously as KO groaned.

"Ooh. What….arf-ppened?"

"Oh Rover, are you o- wait, did...you just talk?"

"Did….?" He spoke in surprise while touching his neck. "I...can...talk!" He said, the words coming out rough and slightly jumbled. 'Yes! Finally, I can finally talk!'

"Wow this is amazing! And...unexpected." Wilhamena said as she walked over and carefully picked him up. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you?"

"Yep, now take….en….KO!" he said, his voice fading in and out a bit, one moment he was speaking clearly the other it came out as a growl.

"Take? Do you need to go somewhere?"

"Yes, I need….home!"

"But you are home Rover, I know this will take a while to get used to, but this is your new home."

"No! I…..that….home….now." He said, trying to get the words out, but failing. 'Why is this so hard?!'

"Hmmm, maybe you're a bit peckish." She said as she began to head to the kitchen. "You hungry Rover?"

'Huh, I guess she forgot about us.' Spanky thought as he watched Wilhamena walk away.

"Pst, now's our chance to scram."

"Way ahead of you." Whispered Spanky as the ghosts flew away.

Wilhamena hummed while filling a bowl up with some leftover meatloaf and set it down in front of KO who was trying to get some more words out. "Here you go Rover, eat up, and then we can work on your language problem, ok?"

"I'm…..need to…..Enid…..now."

"Enid? Why? She's not here, and how do you know her name already?" She asked as she pushed the bowl towards him.

"It's…..I….to….home!"

"Oh, I think I understand now." Wilhamena said as KO perked up. "You want Enid to come home to see you, right? You must have read her name while you were in her room."

His ears drooped before groaning, but when he looked at the meat he got an idea and grabbed it with his bare hands before he started to spread it on the floor.

"Hey, hey, no, stop that, you're supposed to eat that, not play with it!" She said as she quickly tried to stop him.

"Wait!" He let out while pointing down at the mess on the floor.

"What?' She said as she looked down only to widen her eyes slightly in surprise. The meat was spread out in 'It's me, KO'. "KO? Wait, isn't that Enid's little friend? The one that's been missing for a few months?"

He nodded his head quickly while Wilhamena looked him over and began to finally notice the similar build and body structure while envisioning KO's human form over the current form, which was a perfect match. "Wait...are you actually her friend? But wasn't he a human?" She asked in confusion only to grab him as he went for the meatloaf on the floor again. "Whoa there, hold it, I have paper and pens, let's clean up this mess THEN talk, alright?"

He nodded while lending a hand with cleaning up the mess as the two found themselves in a study with Wilhamena grabbing a feather pen and some paper.

"Ok, this time write down what happened and explain what's going on." She said as he nodded and began to do so, but found a little bit of trouble holding and writing with the strange pen.

Thankfully though after a few minutes KO managed to get his message down and gave it to the vampire mother. She looked it over and gasped slightly as she read over it. "This….this is….I don't know what to call it, they mistake you as a dog?! Ugh, did they not check the public records when they brought you in?"

He nodded and wrote down his response and handed it to her, making her frown deepen. "Wait… did you ever tell your mother about your current condition? She did take you down to the courthouse to get your records updated, right?" She asked, her voice becoming a bit nervous.

KO looked confused and jotted down that she did not, making Wilhamena rub her forehead, looking more frazzled.

"Oh boy….ok, KO...or rather Rover...you know I'm a lawyer, right? I have seen several cases like this...and it's not good, or at least not good for YOU."

"Why?" He got out using his own voice.

"Because you never told your mother about your condition you aren't currently registered as a were human, so in the eyes of the law you're...a puppy." She revealed, making him pale. "Which means unless that's corrected, legally speaking you STILL fall under the current laws when it comes to pets. Realistically, everything you've gone through? It's not illegal or going against any rules set forth."

"W-What?!"

"Yes, and it gets worse, since you've already been adopted several times, some legally, some not, that means that you've been registered in the system as an animal. This means that getting your status changed back to human is going to be very, very difficult if not impossible, especially if any of your previous owners file a claim on you." She revealed making KO let out a scared whimper while looking down, making the vampire smile and rub his head. "Not to worry though, now that I know the truth, I can work my fingers to the bone to get things all set. Plus I can let Enid know you're safe and sound, which will really make her happy." She said as he perked up. "All I need you to do though is not disappear, as long as I legally own you...also sorry about that, but legally your name is Rover right now." She revealed sheepishly before clearing her throat. "I can work to get this changed, but if you run off or if you go back to Carol at the moment I could be charged with abandoning you and the case I make thrown out." She said as he whimpered a bit. "I'm sorry, I bet you want to go home but this is a very delicate situation, the law is very complicated and clear on this."

KO looked down before putting something down which read 'Any idea how long it'll take?'.

"Um...well, that's the kicker, I'm not sure, at the earliest? Maybe…. Four months? At the latest….it could carry on for years." She revealed, making him freeze. "I'm sorry but in some parts of this process it's out of my hands, hundreds of thousands of cases flow through the courts and it can take a long time to get the right signatures, it can be annoying and one wrong move and we'll be drowning in red tape."

He began to whimper and freak out as he processed this information. He started to rock back and forth on his rear making the vampire move closer and try rubbing his head and back.

"There there, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but if it makes you feel better your situation is a very good one, I know who you are and you're not going anywhere so I can keep an eye on you, I've had some clients who've been stuck in less than ideal situations which makes yours look like a walk in the park." She smiled while giving him a scratch behind the ear, which got his tail wagging and helped him slowly start to relax. "So how about you relax for a bit, ok Rover?"

KO nodded as she carefully picked him up and began to move out of the office.

"Now, how about we call Enid, ok?"

"Arf!" He barked happily, forgoing speaking regularly due to the process starting to make his throat sore.

"Sounds good to me." She chuckled as she reached out for her landline phone, unaware of the weather getting worse outside. She picked it up and began to put in the number while the dark clouds sparked and lit up a little bit with Wilhamena hearing the dial tone ringing. She waited as it kept ringing until she heard Enid pick it up.

"What is it mom, I'm really busy here, me and Rad are getting ready to follow a new lead we got on KO."

"Well I just wanted to call and say I've got great news honey, and it just happens to be on the same page." She smiled.

"Is this about the new wolf you got or somet-" Enid started to ask, only for Wilhamena to hear a loud boom and for the entire house to start shaking as the phone went dead.

"Enid? Enid? Hello?" Wilhamena looked at the phone and heard the tone go flat. "Oh come on, don't tell me the call dropped." She groaned as she hung up the phone. "Great, now I'm going to have to wait for the phone to be fixed before I can call her again."

"Awww." KO let out.

"Hey, it's ok, we only have to wait a bit, it's not the end of the world." She smiled while patting his head. "Think of it like a little get together until she calls back, or until she comes home. Trust me, the time will fly by like that."

KO just nodded as she kept patting his head. 'Ok...that's not so bad, right?' He thought as he began to relax. 'I've been in worse situations than this.'

"Well at least now I don't have to worry about potty training you." She chuckled with KO blushing as she walked past him. "Why don't we have some tea?"

"S-Sure." He got out as she smiled.

"Great, do you prefer swamp water grey or mildew black?" She asked as she set him down before she walked towards the kitchen.

"Uh….what...you….mmend?"

"Oh, well I have this wonderful brew that is made from the muck gathered in a local swamp, or this really great brew that uses scraps of mildew in their recipe." She said with a smile.

It was at this point that KO remembered that Enid's mom was a vampire, and didn't exactly have a 'normal' diet. He turned green imagining the tea and let her go into the kitchen while hearing his stomach growl a little. 'Maybe I should have eaten that meatloaf instead of smearing it on the floor.' He turned to the front door and moved over before opening it and poked his head out while his nose picked up something that smelled good. 'Mmmmm, I wonder what that is?' he thought as his tail began to wag.

He walked outside the mansion and put his nose to the ground and began to follow the smell. 'Ok, I'll just see what that is, grab a bite to eat then I'll head right back to the mansion and wait for Enid.'

(Later)

KO had continued to follow the smell, so far not finding what it was just yet, but he was getting closer and closer to it. 'I know I'm close, I can feel it!' He thought, his hunger driving him forward. 'I've gone too far to turn back now.'

Soon he looked and saw what looked like a large barrel bubbling over a fire with numerous pipes hooked up to it simmering, and it's where the smell was coming from. 'Wow, what is that? It smells great..' He thought as his mouth began to water. He moved over while licking his lips, but heard someone and turned his head before noticing numerous machines around the area with what looked like trucks parked nearby as well. 'Oh! Wow, I didn't notice them. I'm more hungry than I thought.' He thought as he looked around. 'Wait, where am I? How far have I walked? I hope Enid's mom isn't too worried.'

"Hahahaha, this next batch is almost done." Laughed a woman's voice.

'Huh? Oh! That must be the cook.' KO thought as he tried to stay hidden. He ducked behind the barrel and looked around it to see Dr. Blight walking over to it while rubbing her hands, making him cover his mouth quickly. 'Hey, I know her! She tried to pollute the bodega a while back.'

"Finally, the next batch is finally finished!" She repeated with a chuckle.

'What is she doing, what is she cooking?' He thought as his stomach growled. He held it while Dr. Blight herself sniffed from the barrel and laughed.

"Once this barrel is done simmering, I can finally get to work on spreading all of this sludge across the whole town! Ah, it'll be a polluted swamp by the end of the day."

'Wait, that stuff is poison?! Why does she want to make the whole town a swamp?!' He thought in horror as his stomach let out another growl. 'No! Stop that stomach, that stuff's not food!'

"Huh?" Dr. Blight looked around when she heard the sound. "Hey, what was that sound?" She looked around as the growling got louder before spotting the bushes and grinned. She slowly moved over with her hands out. "Looks like I've got...a sneak!" She called as she quickly moved the bushes apart, only to pause as she saw KO. "...a puppy?"

KO's ears dropped while his tail stood up at being caught and let out a scared yip.

"Huh...to be honest I was expecting a meddlesome brat or something, not an animal." She said as she reached down to pick him up. She picked him up by the scruff of his neck and raised an eyebrow. "What's a pup like you doing all the way out here?"

"Arf?" He said as he tilted his head. 'Maybe it's best if I don't let her know who I am, much less that I can talk.'

"Oh well, probably just ran over here when you smelt my sludge. It does have a good smell to it, oh the irony." She chuckled with a smirk. "I bet you want a taste, huh? Well, maybe you should, it would be cruel to not let you have any, huh?"

KO paled hearing that while the woman held him near the top and gulped seeing it bubbling and lost his appetite knowing just what it was. He began to squirm and whimper in her grasp as she just chuckled.

"Oh? Are you suddenly not hungry anymore?" She asked with him nodding quickly. "Well, that's quite a shame, my brew is killer good~" She chuckled at her own pun.

'Yeah, and that's why!' Thought KO.

"Well, I guess I can't force you to drink it." She said as KO relaxed in her grasp. "But I CAN give you a front row seat when I spread all this stuff across the ENTIRE town." She chuckled as KO whimpered. "It's going to be amazing, the whole town will be turned into a toxic swamp!"

"Arf arf!" He barked as she began to walk towards one of the trucks.

"Come, let's go and get this show on the road~" She spoke while KO tried to get out of her grip, but it was rock solid. "Come, you'll ride with me in my personal car."

'No...no no no, not again, I was finally somewhere where I could get home!' He thought in disbelief before finding himself tossed into Dr. blight's car before she strapped him down with the seatbelt and got in before she started driving with the trucks holding the barrels following. 'Where exactly is she taking me?! No, I have to get out, I have to get back to Enid's mom, I was so close to going home!'

"Hahahaha, oh I'm up in arms." Smirked the woman while driving the car near the outskirts of the bodega before stopping. "Before I see this town become a beautiful rancid swamp, I want to see this spot get turned first. Let's just say it holds a little sore spot with me pup."

'Wait, the Bodega?! No! She can't destroy it! And I could get home! I have to warn them!' He thought while trying to gnaw on the seatbelt while Dr. Blight left the car and turned to the drivers in the trucks.

"Alright boys, empty those tanks, let's destroy this place!"

"NOT SO FAST!" Called a loud voice, making them look up to see a familiar silver skinned, green haired man.

"Captain Planet!" gasped the men and doctor.

"I'm not going to allow you to pollute the bodega again!" He declared with his finger pointed at Dr. Blight.

"How could you have known about it? We haven't even started dumping!"

"I can sense when you are about to harm the planet, now give up!" He demanded with a frown.

"In your dreams, let him have it boys!"

"Yes ma'am!" They said as they went to unload the trucks content, only for Captain Planet to fly down and start grabbing the trucks and start tossing them into space.

"No more polluting from you all." He smirked before Dr. Blight growled and started foraging around the back of her car.

"Luckily I came prepared!" She smirked while whipping out a hose before letting out a blast of sludge. She laughed maniacally only to pause as he held out his hand and forced the sludge to stop midair. "No...how?!"

"You made one mistake, you used water to help make the sludge, so I can control it!"

"No fair!" She yelled out before finding the sludge from the hose and barrels getting sucked up into the air into one large condensed sphere. "No no no! This isn't fair!"

"Neither are using your power to try and destroy the planet!" he declared before he sent the sphere into space, right as the female villain tried to make a run for it. "Hold on villain, you won't escape that easily!" He called as he chased after her.

'Did… did she just leave me here?' Wondered KO watching the two through the window and smiled. "Yip…!" He let out, managed to rip the belt off and climbed out of the car and looked at the bodega. 'I'm finally back home!' He stretched out before he began to run towards Gar's shop. 'Yes, I'm going home!'

But, before he could get even closer, a large shadow began to appear over the spot. 'Huh? Where's the shadow coming from?' He looked up and let out a whimper seeing a large object coming down, making him quickly run on all fours away, falling on his stomach when it crashed down behind him. 'What was that?! What's going on?!'

He turned his head and blinked in surprise to see what looked like a spaceship with blinking lights. 'A spaceship?!' he thought in shock as the door to the ship opened up. He got on his feet and took a ready stance when he saw Cosma appear at the doorframe looking annoyed.

"This is what I get for not buying extra oil on the way home." She muttered in annoyance as she made her way to the convenience store. "I need to buy them in bulk."

'What's she doing here? Is she up to no good?' Wondered KO, assuming something else and forgetting about the plaza at the moment. 'Is she trying to destroy the plaza? And what oil is she talking about?' He bent his legs and started running at her. 'If it's some fiendish plan, I need to stop her!' He thought as he raced after the space dragon. He watched as she entered the store and talked to someone he didn't recognize. 'Wait, that isn't Enid, where are her and Rad?'

"I need lots of motor oil, enough to hold me over for the next month or so."

"Uh, sure, I think I have a pallet of the stuff in the back, I'll go get it for you." The person replied, revealed to be a worker there who went to the back.

'Wait, is she just here to buy stuff?' KO thought in confusion. 'Wow, I didn't see that coming. Kinda feel like a dork for jumping the gun.'He thought as he shook his head. 'I guess I should just head in and find Mr. Gar.' He thought as he slowly entered the store. 'I hope everything hasn't gone too out of place since I left.'

"Whoa there little guy." Said a voice behind him as KO suddenly found himself being picked up. "What are you doing here? Did you lose your owner?"

"Arf?" He turned his head and groaned seeing it was the dog catcher. 'No no no! Not you again!' He thought as he let out a small growl.

"Really, either you're a little escape artist or you have had the worst luck in finding owners." He shook his head with a sigh. "Well, I wouldn't be doing my job if I gave up. Looks like we'll have to try again."

'No! Wait… that might actually work, Enid's mom might come to the pound to look for me!' He thought as Max carried him out of the store. 'I mean she knows who I am now, so she might notice when she sees I'm gone.'

"Hey, what do you have there?" Called a voice, making him turn to see Cosma with several of the bodega workers who were carting several pallets of motor oil to her ship.

"Oh, just a little pup ma'am." Max explained as he held out KO. "This little guy was all on his own so I was just going to take him to the shelter."

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen him somewhere." She said as she approached Max and KO and leaned down to get a better look at him.

"Well, this little guy has had multiple owners, but unfortunately they either abandoned, lost him or returned him. Say… are you interested in adopting him?"

KO's eyes widened while the alien villain rubbed her chin.

"Hmmmm, I'm not sure, I haven't really had a pet before… would I have to pay money for him?"

"Yes, but only for the registration fee, if you pay now I'll take your info and do all the paperwork for you."

"Hmmm, I suppose I could take in a pet." Mused Cosma. "I've never had one at home, and it would get a little less lonely."

'Cosma? Where's her home? Oh no, she's going to take me off earth, isn't she?!' Thought KO letting out a whimper.

"Great, that will be thirty dollars, and can I get your name and address please?" Max asked as he held KO with one arm and pulled out a small notepad and pen with the other.

Cosma took the offered paper and pen and jotted down her name, address, then proceeded to hand over the money. "There, is that everything?"

"Yep, you're the proud owner of… what would you like his name to be?" Max asked as he handed over KO to her.

"Am I required to make one up on the spot?"

"Not at all, but if you could send me the name you've chosen for him within the week to us we can finish the registration. Here, this is the shelter's email address, just send us the name when you decide and feel free to email us if you have any additional questions." Max said as he jotted down the email on a new piece of paper and handed it to her.

Cosma accepted the paper and looked it over while Max went and walked out of the store.

'What...what just happened, did COSMA just adopt me?!' KO thought in shock.

"Well, let's go, I can't wait to show you my place." She grinned while lugging him up in her arms and carried him away to the register while KO shivered in fear.

"Ok, so that's a month's worth of motor oil, will that be all?" Asked the cashier.

"Actually, do you have any dog food and collars? I just got this little guy and I think it would be best if I had some food for him."

"Absolutely."

After paying for her items, she went back to her ship and loaded up the groceries. "Alright, I think I have everything we need, now let's get going little guy."

'I'm going to be taken away, I won't be able to get back home, w-what am I going to do?!' KO thought as he let out a whimper and lightly struggled in her grasp.

"Easy there, you'll be just fine on the trip." She said as she lightly pet him. "You're going to love space."

'No I won't!' He thought as she finished loading up the space ship.

Cosma climbed into her ship while fastening KO into the seat. "There, now hold on fella, I like to ignore those pesky speed limits." Smirked Cosma grabbing the wheel while pushing buttons.

'Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good.' He thought nervously. He held on as the ship rose up before it went zooming right off into the air, making him go back against the seat due to the sudden speed. 'So fast! Ok, even if I could jump out, it's not an option!' He thought while Cosma looked over.

"It might be a bit cramped, but I think we can make it work."

'Cramped? What is she talking about?' Wondered KO before the ship began to slow down.

"Alright, you ready little guy?"

'Not really.' He thought as he struggled a bit in the seat.

"Relax, no need to get all fussy. I don't wanna have to replace the belts if you start chewing on them." Scolded Cosma as the ship began to shake. Slowly it began to stop with Cosma smiling. "There we go, smooth and sound."

'Wait, we're already here?' He thought in surprise. 'But it was only two minutes.'

"Ok, now be quiet little guy, there's someone I want you to meet." She undid the straps and picked him up while the hatch to her ship opened and he saw they were on what looked like a big asteroid.

'Wait, how can I breathe here?' He pondered as she carried him away while noting how the ground looked more soft and smooth, like a giant blanket. 'Is this really a giant asteroid?'

"Luka! I'm home!"

'Luka? Who's that?' He wondered before spotting someone walking towards them.

"Cosma, you're finally home! Come give me some sugar~" Called what looked like a long necked blue cat wearing a tight red tank top and purple jean shorts with three eyes and short purple hair.

"Sure babe, but first say hello to the newest member of our family." She held out KO which made the cat stop and let out a hiss with KO flinching and growing nervous.

"What the hell is that?!"

"A puppy."

"Why would you get one of those?!" She growled. "A filthy flea covered mutt!"

"Hey! He's clean, at least I think so, and I thought you liked small animals!"

"The ones that don't chew up the place or slobber all over the floor!" She argued. "And I never said that I wanted one as a pet!"

"Come on, he isn't going to do that, you aren't even giving him a chance, look just hold him quick." She held KO out. "You'll see he's rather tame."

"...Fine, if it will make you happy, but I'm not changing how I feel." She said with a huff.

"That's my girl." She said as Luka hesitantly took KO from her.

The cat shivered as she tried to look at KO without disgust with said puppy hoping she didn't do something rash.

'Please don't eat me please don't eat me!' he thought as she looked him over with a critical eye. 'If she doesn't like me will Cosma just toss me into space?! What will happen?!'

'He does seem clean, furs soft, almost as soft as mine... he is a tiny bit cute...' She thought while feeling the ears and tail up. "Hmm."

'W-What is she doing?' He thought as he let out a nervous whimper.

"So? What do you think?"

"...Fine, you're right, he's adorable and I love him!" She declared as she hugged him and let out a purr. "What's his name?"

"He doesn't have one yet." Replied Cosma while smirking. "I wanted to get him home as soon as possible before worrying about that." She said as she walked towards her partner. "Plus I thought you might want to have a hand in naming him too."

"Aw, you know me so well~" She smiled while her neck twisted with her head looking KO upside down as her three eyes looked down in thought. "Something that fits...hmm…."

"Hmmmm…. How about Timim?"

"No, I have a friend named that, it would be weird." Luka mused.

"What about Yippers?"

"Hmmmm, I think I like it." She smiled as KO's eyes widened.

'Yippers?!'

"Yippers it is." Cosma said as she patted his head. "How about you take him inside while I unload the ship, I got the motor oil and I made sure to pick up some food and supplies for little Yippers here."

"Alright, I'll show him around." She said as she turned around and tapped the ground twice surprising KO when it opened up to show a set of stairs leading inside. She started walking downard with glowing rocks in the walls lighting up the way.

'Whoa, do they live inside the asteroid?' He thought in shock as they went deeper and deeper. "Arf?"

"Heh, I bet you've never been inside a astroi-home, have you Yippers?" Luka chuckled. "This whole asteroid is fake, made from a really soft substance, complete with its own mini atmosphere. Me and Cosma live inside and with a home like this we can go anywhere in the universe together."

'Like a giant spaceship?' he thought as he imagined it flying around. 'Or does Cosma carry it?' He thought as he imagined the space dragon in ger giant size carrying the asteroid.

"Right here we have the living/dining room." She said as the stairs stopped and they walked into a large room full of plush couches, a large monitor on the wall and a large dining room table. "This is where we usually eat and relax."

"Arf." He said as he looked around. Everything looked like it was made out of the same material the asteroid was. 'Wait… if we're on an asteroid, then how am I supposed to get home?'

"And over here is the kitchen." She said as she led him into a MASSIVE room full of high tech equipment, ovens, massive fridges and so on. "Me and Cosma really love food, so we needed a kitchen where we could make anything we wanted."

"...ig…." He let out, using his real voice, but it still came out choppy.

"Huh? Are you ok?" She asked as she looked at him curiously. 'Is that a normal sound for this animal to make?'

KO perked up and slapped himself for forgetting common sense. 'Duh, if I tell her I'm a boy, she'll take me back home. Besides, with how fast the ship is, Cosma won't notice a thing.'

"Hmmm, maybe you're hungry? Well, Cosma's bringing in your food, so let's continue the tour and then we'll get you something to eat after, ok Yippers?"

"I….ot….ppers." He let out, making her stop and go wide-eyed.

"Wait, you...can talk? Huh, I didn't know earth animals could do that!"

"I….ot…..l. I….uman….y."

"Um… maybe not? I can't really understand you." She said apologetically as she took him into the next room. "Don't worry, after we're done I'll make you something nice to eat. And here's where me and Cosma sleep." She said as KO looked around to see he was in their bedroom with a massive bed in the middle. "Huh, I wonder if you'll sleep in here too, or maybe we'll get a puppy bed for you?"

'I'll pass on that.' He thought as he shook his head. 'I don't plan on staying around for long!'

"Alright, let's get you fed." She said as she took him back to the kitchen. "That was pretty much it for the tour, the other rooms aren't that important. Now then, can puppies eat space lizards?"

KO turned green hearing that.

"I'll take that as a no… how about some ground meat? Do you like meat Yippers?"

He nodded which perked her up.

"Great! Let's cook you up some then, in fact let's make some for me and Cosma, maybe tacos?" She mused as she began to get lost in thought.

'Hmm, maybe I should reconsider my plan to sneak off and pilot the ship myself.' Thought KO as Luka set him down carefully. 'If I messed up I could blow the whole asteroid up!'

"You wait right here, I'll get started on dinner." She said as she began to gather up ingredients.

"Yippers, come here boy!" Cosma called as she entered the living room, carrying various dog supplies. "I've got some goodies you can try out."

'I might as well see what she has for me.' KO thought as he reluctantly walked towards her. He saw her dumb various dog accesories and toys out in front of him, along with a collar.

"Now then, let's get this collar on you Yippers, then we can try the rest of the stuff out." she picked it up making KO gulp and started backing up on all fours. "Hey, hey, it's ok, it won't hurt at all, I promise, and later we can order some tags to put on it with your name, doesn't that sound nice?"

"N….llar!"

"Wait, did you just… talk?" She asked in surprise. "Wait, are you one of those pets I've heard that have powers?"

"...es!"

"Oooh, sounds like I was lucky." She said with a chuckle. "I got a rare pet~"

"...chip….eck.." He said as he pointed where he thought Max had put the chip that kept him from talking and using his powers.

"Eck?" She raised an eyebrow. "Do you mean 'neck'?"

He quickly nodded as his tail began to wag. 'Yes, yes, the chip in my neck! You can take it out!'

"Let me see what about your neck you're trying to tell me." She said as she picked him up and looked at it in confusion. "Is there something wrong with it?"

"C….ch…..ip!"

"Chip...oh! Ok, I think I get it, one of your previous owners put one of those regulator chips in you to keep you from using your powers, right?"

"Yes…"

"Well I'll take a look at it and see if it needs fixing." She said as she stood up and began to carry him away. "Luka, I'll be in my lab with Yippers if you need me, there's a chip or something in him I have to take a look at."

"Ok! I'll get the tacos ready!"

"We're having tacos? Excellent." Cosma said as she licked her lips. When she reached her private lab, she set KO on the table and looked behind his neck. "I don't see anything, so I'm going to use my equipment to get a closer look, ok?"

"Arf!"

Cosma reached over and used some kind of microscope to look closer at the skin and spotted some lights under it. "There we are, I think I see it, it's definitely a control chip… looks like it's been cracked somehow."

"Arf arf!" He said as he began to get excited. 'Yes, now take it out so I can talk!'

"Hmmmm… ok, I think I might be able to fix it, but I'm going to put you under while I'm working so you don't move, ok?"

'If it means I can talk, I'll take it.' He thought as he nodded.

"Good, hold still." She said as she pulled out a mask connected to a hose. "Now breathe in, and when you wake up the problem will be taken care of."

KO slowly breathed in the mask while feeling sleepy and fell on his stomach.

"Alright, let's get to work."

(Later)

KO groaned as he began to wake up. "Oooh…..my head feels funny…." He groaned before realizing that he just spoke. "Hey, my voice! It's clear!"

"Yep, I fixed the chip and changed it's setting so you can talk, but your powers are still under lock and key for now Yippers." Remarked Cosma standing nearby making him jump in surprise. "So, how are you feeling, any soreness?"

"Uh...no, but I am tired." He yawned.

"Alright, well, how about I take you to your bed, or do you want something to eat before that?" She asked as he let out another yawn.

"Bed please…."

"Alright, up we go." She said as she carefully picked him up. 'Poor little guy, he must be exhausted, then again I would too if I went through what he did.' she thought while carrying him to the bedroom. "You can sleep in here for right now, just try not to shed any fur."

"Ok….night." He yawned as he succumbed to his weariness and fell asleep.

'He's so precious, but I'm still sure I've seen him somewhere before.' Cosma thought as she began to walk away. 'Oh well, it couldn't have been important if I can't remember.'

(Next day)

"Yippers, come on, wake up~"

"Mmm...don't wanna…."

"Come on, we made breakfast, and if you're good you can have some scraps~" Called Luka.

KO grumbled and rubbed at his cheek before slowly opening up his eyes. He saw Luka looking at him happily as he let out another yawn.

"Morning sleepyhead, we have a fun filled day ahead of us!"

KO sat up and rubbed at his eyes before finding himself picked up by Luka. "Huh?"

"Come on, Cosma said you should eat something before we start, after that we can try out all the stuff we got you! And we can put your new collar on~"

KO groaned hearing that as Luka carried him to the kitchen, where a plate of fresh grilled meat was on the table.

"Now then, I know I put your bowl of dog food around here somewhere, between you and me that stuff looks gross so we'll put a bit of meat in it, ok?"

"Ok." He said as she put him down on the table as she looked around before spotting a silver dog bowl full of dog food.

"Luka, KO, are you in there?" Cosma called from the living room.

"Yeah!"

"Great, once you're done in there bring Yippers in here!"

"Sure thing!" She said as she mixed up the meat with the dog food. "Eat up quickly, ok Yippers?"

He nodded before he started wolfing down the food, realizing he was real hungry.

'Wow, this tastes great! Who knew dog food and meat tasted so good!' he thought. Soon he was done and was picked up by Luka.

"What did you need Yippers for sweetie?"

"Well, while he was sleeping I went out and got a bunch of dog accessories for him and I want to see how he likes them, I even managed to get a tag for his collar."

"Aww, that's so sweet." She said as KO gulped nervously. "Say thank you to Cosma Yippers."

"Uh….thank you?"

"Good boy!" She said as she sat down with KO in front of Cosma who was surrounded by a large pile of items. "Now then, let's try your collar on!"

"Uh, do I have to?" He asked as Cosma held up a black collar with a golden tag on it that read 'Yippers'.

"Yes, you do, it has our address and phone numbers on the back in case you get lost."

"But aren't we in space? Where could I go?"

"It's just in case, besides, I bet you'll look great with it on." Luka said as Cosma moved forward and tried to attach the collar around his neck.

KO tried to move his head away while using his hands to try and hold it back.

"Uh, I'd rather not wear the collar!"

"Yippers, this isn't up for debate." Cosma said firmly. "Just put it on, I made sure it wouldn't be too tight."

"B-But…" he said, trying to find some sort of defense on why not to wear the collar.

"Yippers, just hold still and let her put the collar on." Luka said as she gently held his arms as Cosma moved in and put the collar on. "See? It fits no problem. Kinda reminds me of the one she likes to use on me in our private time~"

"Oh come on Luka, not in front of Yippers." Cosma said as KO blushed red. "Now then, how does it feel Yippers, is it comfortable?"

"Well….it's not tight." He admitted as he lightly tugged on it.

"Great, well it looks perfect on you." Luka said as Cosma nodded. "Now then, why don't you give some of the toys a try?"

"Um, ok?" he said as several toys were pushed towards him. 'Ok, this might not be so bad, at least they like me, but now I feel bad for wanting to escape.'

"After you're done we can go for a nice little walk." Said Cosma as she pulled out a long leash. "Oh! Before I forgot I also got you something to help you exercise when we're traveling and you can't go outside." She said as she reached behind her and pulled out what looked like a giant hamster wheel. "This is made so you can run on it and get all the exercise you want!"

"But, isn't that made for hamsters?"

"Well, this one is made for dogs." Cosma said as KO looked at it in confusion.

"It just looks like a bigger version." Luka said with a sweatdrop.

"Look, that's not the point, so what do you think KO, do you like it?"

"Well it looks….big."

"Well, do you wanna try it or should we go for a walk?"

"I guess giving it a try could work." He said as he reluctantly stepped on.

"Great, give it a try." She said KO began to run on.

"Huh… this isn't too bad." he said as he began to go faster and faster. "So, how do I stop?"

"Stop?" She replied confused. "I…..don't know."

"Wait, what?" He said as he realized he couldn't stop. "Oh no." he said as he started to go faster and faster.

"Cosma?"

"Yes?" She asked as KO tripped and fell down, and was now going around in circles, out of control.

"Should we stop this or….."

"I don't know...it's kinda funny…."

"...yeah you're right." Chuckled Luka said with a chuckle as she brought out her phone and began to record KO.

"Tooooo faaaaaassssstttttttt!" KO let out before he went flying off the wheel and went hitting the wall, but he wound up bouncing off and hit the opposite wall, only to bounce off that one too.

"He...hehe….hahaaahaaa!" Cosma chuckled as KO went flying around. "It's the amazing flying Yippers!"

"I'm definitely uploading this online!"

"Heeeeelllpppppp!|"

(Timeskip)

"Yippers, where are you? It's time for your bath!" Luka called.

'Yippers' was hiding under the main bed while trying to keep quiet. 'I don't want another bath, they take too long! Especially when Luka gives it!' He thought with a shudder.

"Oh Yippers, come out come out wherever you are." Called Luka with a grin. "Come on, I got a new bottle of shampoo for us to use!"

'Uh uh, that stuff makes me sneeze all the time.' He thought as he tried to make himself small. 'I can't believe I've been here for a month.'

That's when he heard the door open up and covered his mouth.

"Oh Yippers, I know you're in here." came Cosma's voice. "Come now, we made a deal, remember? Two baths a week, you promised."

'That doesn't mean I have to make it easy.' he thought with a smirk. 'I still can't believe that Cosma's a villain, she doesn't act like one with me and Luka.'

"If you don't come out, I'll drag you to the bathtub myself." She called with a frown. "Don't make me count to three mister!"

'I'm sure she's just bluffing...right?'

"One…..two….." Spoke Cosma while making herself grow slowly, which KO noticed from his spot. "Two and a half…."

'Oh no, she's serious!' He thought before poking his head out. "Wait!"

"A-Ha! So you finally show yourself, huh?" Cosma said as she turned to him, her arms crossed.

"Heheh, tada?" He chuckled bashfully.

"Yes, tada, now then Yippers, let's get you to the bath."

"Awww, but I'm not that dirty."

"You still need a bath though, you need periodic baths to keep your coat clean, shiny and soft." She smiled before picking him up and carried him out. "If you get all messy and dirty, you'll really make Luka pitch a fit."

"I know, she nearly killed you when you spilled the spaghetti sauce on me." He chuckled as she scowled.

"Just for that, I'm using that really fruity shampoo. The one that always gets her eager for cuddle time." She smirked.

"Aw, no, not that one!" he groaned with a whimper as they reached the bathroom.

"Did you get him Cosma?"

"Yup."

"Great, the baths are hot and ready. I even decided to be nice and use that real fruity stuff."

"Noooo!" KO wailed as Luka chuckled.

"Hey, this stuff is expensive and it makes you smell oh so good~"

"In you go." Cosma moved over to the tub and plopped him in while she and Luka grabbed the brushes. "Now hold still and try to relax and this will be over fast."

"Ugh, fiiiiine." He groaned with a pout.

"Oh! Maybe when he's dry we could tie a few ribbons in his hair." Smiled Luka.

"No." Spoke KO and Cosma at the same time.

"Aw, come on, it would be fun! Oh! What if we looked into dying his f-"

"No."

"But-"

"No."

"Aw, you two are no fun." Luka sighed as she poured the shampoo onto one of the brushes.

"That's part of the fun. That and you went overboard last time." Remarked Cosma.

"Aw come on, it wasn't that bad, was it Yippers?"

"Just to remind you, I'm not a poodle." KO said as he began to get covered in fruity smelling suds. "I'm just glad Cosma stopped you before you could give me a haircut."

"To think you weren't a dog person a month ago." Cosma said as she shook her head.

"H-Hey! Shut up…" She mumbled looking away. "It's not my fault you brought home such a cute puppy…"

"Well seeing you cuddle with him more times than me is." Remarked Cosma looking away. "Been doing it more times with him than me in fact…"

"Aw, is someone getting jealous~?" Luka called with a smile. "Does someone miss cuddling with me~?"

"...well you sure seem to have forgotten all the time you did it with me."

"Aw, honey, did I really, make you feel like that?" She asked as she scrubbed KO. "I didn't mean to, really."

"Suuure."

"Really, if I knew I was making you feel like that I could have given you some personal attention~" She purred as she scooted closer to her. "How about after Yippers bath we have some nice, close and personal cuddling~"

Cosma blushed before grinning and chuckled. "Oh you just flipped a switch in me, hope you know that."

"Oh baby, trust me, I'm counting on it~"

"Uh...I'm still here?" KO said meekly with a blush.

"Oh! Right, sorry about that. Just ignore everything we said." Cosma said as her face heated up as she and Luka remembered that they weren't alone. "Let's let him outside after his bath so we can have some fun." She whispered to her partner.

"Works for me." She whispered with a nod. "Let's finish this up quick."

(Later)

"Now you just stay out here while we uh… do some cleaning, ok Yippers?"

"Ok." He said as Cosma smiled and closed the door, leaving him outside on the asteroid. "I wonder what personal cuddling time is like?" He shrugged as he began to wander around, bouncing a bit on the soft surface. "Man, I wouldn't mind a bed like this whole place, then I could bounce around all day." He chuckled as he tried to bounce higher and higher. "Man, I can't believe I've lived here for so long… it's kinda crazy."

He bounced using his belly and looked up at the stars with a frown. "It's been pretty good, but if I don't find a way back home….." He looked back at the asteroid and smiled. "This wouldn't be too bad of an alternative."

But as he bounced, he heard what sounded like an engine. 'Huh? What is that?' He thought as he looked around in confusion. He heard it get louder and stopped bouncing before he looked up and yelped when he saw a spaceship landing near where he was. "Whoa, where did that come from?!"

He back pedaled away and looked at it while finding it familiar, but watched as a hatch on it opened before he gasped and saw Rad's dad step out with a smile.

"Ah, hello small creature." he said with a wave.

"Rad's dad!"

"Yes, that is me." he said as he pulled out what looked like a strange ray gun.

"Oh man, you have no idea how happy I am to see you."

"It is good to see you too….uh...computer, what is this?" he called back to the ship.

"That is a dog, a species of animal native to earth."

"Well it's quite smart, and very far away from home." His wife called as she stepped off the ship.

"What are you two doing here?" he asked as he began to feel hopeful, but also oddly hesitant. 'Why do I feel like this, this is my chance to get home.'

"Well, we were just flying around when we spotted you and we decided to see what you were doing."

"Well that's great! You can give me a lift back to the bodega where Rad and Enid are."

"Oh, we're not going there." Theodosia said with a smile, confusing KO.

"Then where are you going?"

"Oh, well, I heard of this thing called a 'dog show' and we think it might be fun to try it."

"Dog….show?"

"Yes, and you're a dog, so we're going to put you in the show." Said Ofrang as he fired the gun at KO, which hit him and made him freeze. "Let's get him on the ship, we don't want to be late in registering."

"Right. Oh! Should we take him to the groomer so he looks more like that dog we saw, oh...what was it called again computer?"

"A Poodle."

"Right."

"Ooh! Good idea, we best not be sloppy for our first 'dog show'."

"Alright, I'll make the reservation while you fly." Theodosia said as her husband picked up KO and carried him to the ship and placed him inside a dog crate.

"Oh this is going to be exciting!"
