Bandits Belt Chapter 17: Brother, a bluey fanfic

Brother

It was late afternoon, The sun had just gone down, and Bandit was returning home. He went to take Brandy back to her house. They both decided, That she would visit his house next week for a barbeque.

Bandit began to drive uphill to his house. He saw Wendy on her front porch. This was weird because every time Bandit would go outside to pick up the newspaper, or even cut the grass. Wendy would quickly walk back inside her house. But this time she stayed in place, He got out of the car, And Wendy started to walk up to him. The white fence separated them. "Hello Bandit, It's…..Been a while". She said, giving him an emotionless face, Bandit was confused about why she wanted to talk to him. But after what he did to her years ago, He wanted to redeem himself. "Hey Wendy, It's been forever since we've last talked, But I'm glad to see you again". He said

Wendy looked back at his car, noticing that the girls didn't go with him. "You left the girls Home alone?". The chow chow looked at Bandit's house, A bit worried for the girls. "Yeah Bluey is old enough to be alone for a few hours, I always call them when I have to go away for a good amount of time. Plus she has Bingo to keep her company". He said, It was quiet for a second Until Wendy found the right words. "Well anyways, I was wondering if bluey and Bingo could have a playdate in the park with Judo if that's ok with you, She's been begging me to let her come play with your daughters". She said tapping her knuckles on the wooden fence.

"Oh, Yeah that's ok, when do you want me to come by the place? I can go tomorrow if that's ok". He smiled a bit more, which startled Wendy. "Well….I…..I don't want you to be there Bandit, I'd rather have your girlfriend take your kids to the park". She said, scratching her neck, Bandit's smile went away. "What, Who are you talking about…..Oh you mean Brandy. W-Were not dating Wendy, She's just a friend". He said avoiding eye contact, Wendy was surprised. "I've seen her come here at least once a week, And isn't she Chillis sister?". Bandit's face was starting to get a little red. "Yeah But She comes around to visit the kids. They like her and well……wait why do you want her to take my kids to the park?". He questioned her, there was a bit of silence between them. Until Bandit remembered what he had said to her 3 years ago.

"Oh…..That". Bandit looked nervous now. "Look, I know what I said, But I didn't mean it I promise. I wouldn't do anything like that, To your daughter". Wendy just looked away from him, "It's still something I can't just forget Bandit, I still haven't forgotten when you almost…..Choked me to death". She said as her ears dropped from her head. Three years ago Bandit would have tried to argue with Wendy, But now he was sympathetic toward her. "Wendy…..Look how about instead of Brandy taking them…..I'll just drop them off with you, I promise I won't even get near your daughter". He offered, Wendy at first looked skeptical, But she sighed and took her phone out. "This is my number, just be there by 1 pm, And make sure to send me a text before you come. I hope you'll remember that". She said, Bandit took his phone out and saved her number. She turned it off and walked away back to her house.

"Wendy". Bandit said, The chow chow turned around to see Bandit giving her a worried look. "I'm sorry…..Maybe in time, we can become friends". He said giving her a light smile, Wendy didn't smile. "I doubt it", She then walked up to her door and entered her house, Bandit stood there for a minute just thinking, He sighed, And walked inside his house. He went to his kid's room to check up on them, They were both asleep in bed. Bandit walked up to Bluey, she almost outgrew her bed. He was gonna have to buy another one Soon. Bluey was holding her Polly puppy doll, Bandit then messed up her hair, He one time forgot to give his girls a haircut. Bingo hated her long hair, But Bluey liked her three strings of hair on the top of her head. So she kept it, Bandit walked up to Bingo's bed, Where she was sleeping with her Plushie. She always took it with her. It looked cute, But it disturbed Bandit. Mostly because of the torn arm it had, It reminded him of when he ripped his wife's hand.

Bandit sighed and walked out of the room. He shut the door and walked passed, his office. But he stopped when he heard the voice, He walked in and locked the door. The Blue heeler moved some boxes off from his hidden mini fridge. He opened the lock and took out the small Black Box, Bandit put it on his desk and took out Chilli's hand, It was still well preserved

"What"

…………

"We couldn't go to your grave, Sorry"

…………

"Your dad hit your sister, So we came back to our house"

…………

"Oh now your gonna call her that again"

…………

"I'm not being defensive over her, You Know you're the only person I love. I would never marry anyone else"

…………

"Again, I told you it wasn't my fault, She made me do it".

…………

"Just…..Shut up, Ok I'm not gonna talk to you anymore". Bandit grabbed Chilli's hand And put it back in the box. He closed it, And walked back to the corner, "Until you get that attitude straight, I'm not taking you out". He said, As locked the mini freezer. Bandit walked out of his office And entered his bedroom. The Blue Heeler got on his Bed, He covered himself with the sheets. Trying to forget about his mental argument with his wife, Took a bit of time and shuffled but he eventually went to sleep. Bandit normally would have mixed dreams, He would sometimes dream about chilli surviving cancer. They would all be happy, Trixie could walk, And Stripe would have still talked to him, But tonight was different.

Bandit had woken up in his bed early in the morning. He got up stretched, And yawned, The Blue Heeler walked to the kid's room to wake them up. But something was off, Their beds were bigger and all their tots were replaced with books, Board Games, and other stuff that teenagers would like. It weirded him out, He then walked into the bathroom. He looked older, With longer hair, he even had a beard. "What's going on?" The older Heeler said, feeling his face, "DAD BREKKIE IS READY". Bandit Head Bluey was downstairs, But she sounded older. He went near the staircase where a 16-year-old bluey was waiting for him. "Dad comes, Mum is already done with the food". Bluey said as she walked to the kitchen bandit, Bandit was confused, He started Looking around the house. It wasn't much different, except for the pictures on the walls. "Brandy?" The Heeler said, Each picture had Bandit and Brandy together, There was one with them looking at a sunset, While they held hands. Another with all of them at a Sydney, But the one that surprised him the most was one with him and Brandy kissing. Bandit had his black suit on, While Brandy was wearing a white wedding dress, it looked recent too. "BANDIT CMON, YOUR FOOD IS GETTING COLD". That voice was Brandy, Bandit slowly walked downstairs into the kitchen.

His two older daughters were eating pancakes, Bluey was on her phone texting her friends. And Bingo was on a video call with Lila, Bandit looked to the right. He stopped breathing when he saw Brandy wearing T-bone pajamas. She had grown her hair out, it was curled up with Hair curlers. She walked up to him, Holding his breakfast with a stubborn look. "What took you so long your Pancakes were getting cold". She said as The Blue Heeler took the pancakes, He didn't take his eyes away from her. "Hello….Are you ok Bandit?". She said waving her hand in front of his face, "Earth to Bandit, It's me your wife Who you have been married to for 7 years", Bandit snapped out of it. He blinked a few times and then put the plate on the counter. "S-Seven Years?" He stuttered slowly walking back away from her. "Yeah don't you remember, You and your brother had a huge party, So you could propose to me? We were Slow dancing in our house, You were holding me, And you talking about how much you loved me. That I was the most important person in the world to you". Brandy said her cheeks turning red.

"And then you bent your knee, Everyone was watching. And you said the words, "Will you marry me, Brandy". She sighed gently, As she walked up to her confused husband, She hugged him. Bandit couldn't move. He didn't know what to feel. On the other hand, he was happy to be with Brandy. They've been good friends for years, Ever since chilli's death, And he did start to have feelings for her. But he kept them hidden from everyone Because in his mind it felt like he was replacing Chilli. But why now why dream about this was it because of what wendy had said, Was it because every time he was alone he would think about her? She leaned to his face to kiss him, Bandit leaned back. But even then Brandy kept on going forward to try and kiss him. Bandit was hesitant but then he got closer to her mouth, About to kiss her.

"Is this what you do?".

They both stop to look to the left, Chilli was there, She looked the same way Bandit had seen her at the hospital. Tongue mangled, Covered with bullet holes and blood, Shattered teeth, and constricted pupils. Bluey and Bingo had their throats slit their heads on the table, with A large bloody mess. "I knew ever since that day, You never stop thinking about her. You always joked about how she was skinnier and prettier than me, But you said it was my personality that you liked". She said with tears in her eyes, Bandit didn't feel Brandy on him anymore. He looked back to see Brandy replaced by chilli. His wife was right up in his face, Blood still leaking from her mouth. "I thought I was the most important person to you, I thought you loved me". She said getting close to his mouth,

"And now your gonna fuck the whore". Chilli kissed Bandit, But then She started to Chomp down on his teeth. Bandit tried to scream, He tried to move but he couldn't. Chilli just kept on biting him, She then put her whole mouth inside of his getting a good grip on his bottom Jaw.

"CRACK"

And twisted her head, Ripping his jaw straight off.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"

Bandit yelled, He instinctively grabbed his bottom jaw. It was still there. He ran to his bathroom and looked in the mirror." No beard, Not that many gray Lines, Thank God". He said while gasping for air, For the past years Bandit still had nightmares of Chilli. At first, it was just the same situation. It was him in the hospital. He tried to shoot her but no matter what she wouldn't die, But for the past year and a half. It would always be a different situation, Sometimes he would be in the woods alone while chilli stalked him in the dark. Taunting him, talking about him and Brandy. But the worst ones were when she killed her own children, Always leaving Bingo for last to show Bandit how brutal she could have been if she had the chance to kill her.

Luckily for him, these dreams happened only once a week, It wasn't as abundant as they used to be.

Bandit walked back into his room. It was early in the morning and the sun was rising from the horizon. He then lay down on the floor. He was on the carpet, He needed to clear his head, This was the first time he ever dreamed about Brandy. He began having a crush on her a year ago When they all went to Crazy world together. The girls had wanted to go on the merry-go-round, Bingo had wanted to ride with her aunt. Bandit took one of the horses beside them, Bluey went on her own horse, As they went up and down on the horses. Bandit saw how much happiness Brandy had Brought to his kids. The red Heeler was having the best time with the little red heeler. For a split second, He had the idea of her living with him in his house. That idea stuck with him for the rest of the month. He lay there in his bed having ideas if he were to ask her on a date, But then he remembered about his deceased wife. It made him feel like he would be replacing chilli, Because Brandy was her sister.

Bandit took a deep breath, And let all his stress out, "Your better than this Bandit, Stop thinking about Brandy. She's just your friend…That likes to hang out with you every week….But even then she has never liked you like that". Bandit then had a quick flashback hit him when Brandy visited his house almost nine years ago. "NO, D-D-Dont think about that, Not that, Not again". He said hitting himself multiple times in the face, He curled up his fist and shoved him up his face.

"RING"

Bandit looked down at the carpet and his phone had fallen out of his pocket. He grabbed it to see who was calling him, It was Brandy, He took another deep breath and let all of it out. The Blue Heeler answered the call and lay back down on the carpet. "Hey Brandy". He said trying to sound calm, Brandy was on the carpet in her living room, Wearing her green T-Bone Pajamas. Her nose turned purple from the Bruise her father had given her, She still had the bandage on her nose that Bandit gave her. "Hey Bandit, Sorry for calling you early but I was wondering if you have time to talk for a bit". She asked him, Bandit just looked up at his ceiling fan, Knowing why she wanted to talk. "Another Bad Dream". Brandy was quiet for a while, Tapping on the carpet to find the right words to say. "Yeah….But it wasn't Chilli This time, I mean it was But My dad was there too….And well they were……You know how it is at this point. I-I just needed to tell you about it". She said, Brandy was starting to get a bit red, "So what do you want me to bring next week? I was planning on getting some kangaroo meat. But I don't think the girls would like it that much". Bandit always wanted to try kangaroo meat, Chilli was always highly against it since kangaroos were her favorite animals. "Yeah they might start crying for it, How about you bring enough for just the two of us". He suggested

"Yeah you're right, I'll go by the exotic Market. Maybe I'll get some shark meat too. Have you ever tried it? The meat is so soft and white, My dad used to cook one every time he would catch a young bull shark in our river". She said, Getting a little sad remembering a time when her dad didn't hate her. "Speaking of your dad, You haven't gone to visit him. As you promised right, I know he's your dad but….I don't like the way he treats you Brandy". He said getting a little mad at her father for giving her a bruised nose. "No I haven't gone to his house, I'm going back there. You were right he was an…..asshole. It's just that he's still grieving over chilli". She said, Rubbing her nose, It didn't hurt as much as it did yesterday. "I hope he gets better Bandit, He never leaves the house, And it's starting to look rundown in there". She said, Shifting on the Carpet, "I hope so too, But in the meantime just stay away from him". Bandit got up from the carpet holding the phone up to his ear. He walked to the hallway and into his daughter's room, Bingo, and Bluey were still sleeping.

"PPPPPFFFFFTTTTT"

Bandit had let out a big one And walked out of the room talking to Brandy.

…………..

Bingo and Bluey, Still in their deep sleep, Began to smell something rotting and revolting in the air. When they recognized it And instantly woke up, It was one of their dad's famous fluffy's, "DAAAAAAD" The two Heeler girls yelled as they got out of bed running out of the room. Bandit entered the pantry, And closed the doors, "I have to go Brandy I'm gonna get the girls ready for a playdate with Wendy's kid. You know her right, she's my neighbor, The Chow Chow?". He said as he grabbed one of the chips from the cabinets. "Oh was she the one you were waving at yesterday". She said, sounding a bit annoyed, Bandit didn't notice it. "Yeah, I'm gonna drop them off today, And I was planning on going to the museum. They've just added the new spinosaurus statue, From the bones, I and my friends found years ago. It's kinda sad you know my old boss died two months ago, From a liver issue. The old Bastard wanted to see the statue before he kicked the bucket, Guess it was never meant to be". He said finishing up his chips, Brandy gave Bandit a confused look from her phone. "I was wondering if you wanted to go see it with me at 3, If you're not too busy". Brandy got up from the Carpet a bit excited from getting to see Bandit again. "y-Yeah I don't have anything planned for today, Could you send me the address though, If that's ok".

"Yeah sure I'll send you it after I deal with the girls, I'll see you there, Bye Brandy". He hung up his phone, The doors opened, And the girls were holding their plastic hammers. "You have 5 seconds to say you're sorry young man, Or you're getting hammered". Bluey said holding her pink hammer up High, Bandit just coughed into his hand. "I'm sorry I didn't fluff your face like I did last week When you were sleeping". The two kids then began to beat him with their plastic hammers, Bandit laughed and ran around the house. Playing with his daughters, Even though Bandit played pranks on them. Bingo and Bluey still loved him, He was a single father trying his best to keep his two daughters from having a happy normal childhood.

Brandy got up and took her pajamas off, And walked to her bathroom. She started to get ready to go see Bandit at the museum, She looked at herself in the mirror. Remembering how her dream went last night.

In a church, She was wearing a wedding dress. A piece of white cloth was covering her face, Everyone on Bandits' side of the Family was there sitting in the white chairs. All of them clapped for her, As she got up to where Bandit was waiting for her. He lifted the Cloth over her face, He was wearing all black. Brandy was the happiest girl in the world, His eyes were sparkling at her. The priest came up to them holding a Bible, Asking them if they were ready to be married. They both said yes and kissed. It felt so real for her, But then it all turned black. She was alone, Chilli had come out of nowhere and began to rip her neck. While her father walked up to them calling her a whore.

Even though she was scared to death when she woke up. She couldn't help but get flustered at the idea of marrying Bandit. She liked him for two years now, But she doubted that he liked her back. She didn't even want to ask him to ruin their friendship, She wouldn't get to see the kids anymore. Because it would have been awkward if she continued to visit him. But if Bandit were to ever ask her out on a date she would happily agree. But there was another reason she didn't ask him, It happened almost nine years ago.

"SLAM"

Brandy dropped her first on the sink, That day was when she almost ruined Bandit's life. All because she had broken up with her 9th boyfriend, No matter what she could never forget that day. Brandy sighed, And looked at herself in the mirror again. She noticed that her hair had gotten longer than usual. She usually always cut it to a fair level, But she wanted to look good…..For Bandit. She opened the window and grabbed her hair clippers. "Maybe…… It's time for a change of style" She said to herself.

FOUR HOURS LATER

Wendy was in the park sitting on the bench with her blue purse. watching Judo try to go all the way through the monkey bars, Judo determined to make it all the way. "You are almost there sweetie Just try to grab the Bars while swinging ok". Wendy said, She took out her phone to look at the time, It was 1:06 pm. Bandit was 6 Minutes late for Judo's play date, She then looked back to see Bandit's car arriving at the parking spot. Bandit, Bluey, And Bingo got out of the car, The Blue Heeler waved at the Chow Chow with a nervous smile. The kids ran by Wendy, Hey Judos Mum, We're Here to play with Judo". Bluey said, Waving at her, "Yeah we haven't seen her in forever, Like years now". Bingo said, Wendy, didn't keep her eyes off Bandit. "That's great to hear Girls, Go play with her while I have a small chat with your father". She Then walked up to Bandit, The Girls ignored her serious behavior and ran to the park. Bandit still had his smile on, Walking up to Wendy with an open handshake. "How've you been Wendy?" The Chow Chow lightly tapped the back of his hand, Moving it away from her. "You may leave now Bandit, I'll make sure to take the girls to your house later this afternoon if that's ok". She said, Bandit wasn't surprised by her reaction. He looked at his kids being happy to be with Judo. The little Chow Chow hugged Bluey, and Bingo joined in on the hug, giggling.

Bandit just sighed, "I'll see you later, I'm going to go and do something while they play". Bandit said walking up to his car, Wendy kept her eyes on him, But while she was doing that. She didn't notice a little hand sticking into her purse, Taking out Her cigarettes and lighter, And hiding it in her Pocket.

Bandit Had entered the Museum's parking lot. It was a decently large museum. There were a good amount of people visiting today since it was the weekend. He walked up to large framed windows surrounding the entrance. He then looked at his reflection and realized his hair was starting to get longer. "I wonder what Brandy would think if got Mullet". He said to Himself, He then realized that He had forgotten to give Brandy the Name of the Museum. He got his phone and texted her, Now it was gonna take her at least 30 minutes to get here.

"Hey Brandy, I forgot to give you the Name of the Museum Here you go "Queensland Museum".

"ASSHOLE, What took you so long"

"I had to drop off my kids, And remember to not Bringthat potty mouth in here, Or else I'll have to throw in thegarbage again, Remember that from your last party 15years ago".

"Piss off, I'll be there in like half an hour"

Bandit turned off his phone. They would always text like this, Whenever they got bored. They would sometimes text each other late at night, Which was a bad habit since it would affect their sleep. Bandit entered the museum, Even though it had a lot of amazing Fossils and bones that he would like to stare at. He was more concentrated on finding the spinosaurus statue, So he entered the dinosaur section. Looking around for the surprisingly hard-to-find reptile, He then saw A sign that said new statue down the right. Which obviously was where the spinosaurus was located, The only problem was that there was a huge crowd looking at the T-rex Statue. Everyone wanted to get a family picture of it, Bandit began to wonder if he should have brung his daughters to the museum with him. They could have taken some family pictures with the dinosaur bones. But then again he had already invited Brandy to come with him, and he knew the kids would eventually start winning. The Blue Heeler started to move around the Crowd "Sorry Just passing through "….Excuse me….Hi there…..Sorry…..ouch…..". Bandit then felt a wheel crush his foot, "OW, What the hell mate". He said, grabbing his foot off the floor.

"Bandit?".

Bandit looked up angrily at whoever stepped on his foot. It was a familiar face, That he hadn't seen in 3 years. "Stripe". The Blue Heeler said putting his foot on the ground, Ignoring the pain. It was His Younger Brother, He hadn't changed much in noticeable was the white marking he had grown on his tail due to getting older. He was holding the handles of the wheelchair that had stepped on Bandit's foot, where Trixie was sitting. She didn't change much either, only that the left gray patch on the side of her head was now covered with white marks. Another thing he noticed was that she had lost a good amount of weight. She was surprisingly slim. "UNCLE BANDIT". Muffin yelled As she and her sister's socks ran up to hug their Uncle. Muffin was now 6 and she had grown so much it surprised Bandit how different Muffin looked. Socks was just 3 inches shorter, She hadn't grown much but even then she still looked taller to The Blue Heeler. "H-Hey Girls it's been a while, Both of you have grown a lot since I've seen you last time". He nervously said, hugging his nieces, "Why haven't we seen you in so long, Why don't you visit us anymore". Muffin said, Her voice now sounding like a kid, Instead of a toddler. "Well I got a little Busy, And well I haven't had much time to see you…..All of you". He looked up to his younger brother, Stripe started to walk up to his older Brother with a Blank face. Bandit sighed expecting Stripe to still be angry about what his wife did 3 years ago. Stripe stood there for a few seconds examining his Brother, He then opened his arms and leaned to hug him. Bandit was surprised by his brother's action, But the blue Heeler began to hug him back. Even though they left off on a bad note, They were still Brothers, They've missed each other for 3 years.

"Sniff"

Stripe had tears rolling down his eyes. "I've missed you, Brother". The Purple Heeler said, Bandit started to Blink his eyes. He started to feel tears falling down his face. "Mate C'mon were

…w-were in public, D-Don't make me start C-Crying……Even though it's been so long…I'm so sorry". He said hugging stripe a bit tighter, Not wanting to let go, Muffin walked back to her crippled mother. "Mum, why are dad and uncle Bandit crying in public?" Trixie just sighed and pulled her daughter closer to her, "They've missed each other honey, No matter what Brothers will always love each other". She said, Trixie then looked down at her legs. Even though she couldn't walk anymore, The doctors still said there was a small chance that her pelvis would somehow reform itself on its own. But the chances of that were extremely low, But even then stripe had determined himself to make her walk again. He always took her to yoga therapy, To work out her legs. To at least have some hope that she would be able to stand on her own, And it was recently starting to pay off. Trixie then tried to lift her leg up, on her own.

It went up for a second, And quickly went back down. She smiled knowing that there was at least some hope, She than looked back at her husband and brother-in-law. The two Heeler brothers started to silently cry together, Even though other dogs were giving them weird glances. The two siblings couldn't care less.
