In the treehouse.

"so, what were you guys doing with the snacks that had way too much sugar in them?"

"it's complicated, you wouldn't understand." said Dimitri 1.

"try me." he said.

"well, we're kind of dating right now, and we were just wanted to do something special." Dimitri 2 said.

"Really, you guys found some dogs that would put up with you?" he said

"well it started with just me, but then things turned out wired." Dimitri 3 said.

"Really, how?"

"well, you see. Dimitri 1 and Dimitri 2 left to go do something while I was going to take a nap one day, and that's when Déjà vu came tumbling in. She said she needed somethings on her half of some list and that she needed help with, I offered my help, not knowing it would take so long, one thing lead to another, and well." Dimitri 3 said putting his paws together.

"wait, what!" Dylan said surprised at what he was hearing.

"yeah, and then they started spending so much time together, then 'double D' came up to us and demanded their sister back." Dimitri 1 said.

"it was then that we decided to split the two of them up, what we didn't know it would happen to us." Dimitri 2 said.

"We spent so much time with them trying to split them up that we fell for them just like Dimitri 3." Dimitri 1 said.

"But since we were all dating we had to put some ground rules." Dimitri 3 said.

"because Triple D still works. We had to let them be them." Dimitri 1 Started.

"it's a crowded house, so we had to be secretive about it, dates at night, or away from everyone while at the park." Dimitri 2 said.

"and were always together with the girls. No solo dating." Dimitri 3 said.

Dylan was just staring and rubbing his head. "told you it was complicated." Dimitri 1 said.

"it's not that it is complicated, it just...you guys are dating Triple D, the grisliest of girls, and you guys are…well, you." he said. "not to menschen they're your sisters."

"well, it's not like they're our real sisters." Dimitri 1 said.

"yeah, you guys found us not long after mom and dad got married." Dimitri 2 said.

"but there your sisters." he said.

"so, it's kind of like you and Dolly." Dimitri 3 said.

"what?" Dylan said blushing.

"well, I guess not completely like us." Dimitri 2 said.

"what!"

"Yeah, you haven't told her that you like her." Dimitri 3 said.

"how do you three know that?" he said blushing.

"well it was actually Triple D that figured it out, and they told us." Dimitri 1 said.

Dylan was just staring at them not knowing what to do, he then shakes his head. "you three stay here, I'll be right back." He said, then left. 3 minutes later. "ok inside, inside." He said.

Then Tripe D started walking in. "you told him didn't you." Destany said.

"um." Dimitri 1 started.

"We were supposed to keep it just between the six of us." Dallas said.

"but." Dimitri 2 tried.

"We made a promise." Déjà Vu said.

"aaaa." Dimitri 3 couldn't finish.

Dylan saw this and thought of something, "what are you talking about."

"they told you that we were dating." Destany started.

"even though they know we were to keep it a secret." Dallas continued.

"We were going to tell everyone when we figured out how." Déjà vu finished.

Dylan then looked shocked, "~What. You guys are dating?~" he said sarcastically.

"They didn't tell you?" Destany said.

It was at this point the Dimitris got what he just did.

"I tried to tell you." Dimitri 1 said.

"way to keep it between us." Dimitri 2. Said.

"We made a promise." Dimitri 3 said.

Dylan then looked on. Triple D looked at how bad they were feeling for thinking they told, "ok I think that's enough, they actually told me, when they said I wouldn't understand. Apparently, it was something for you three."

"It was supposed to be a surprise." Dimitri 1 said.

"We didn't mean to cause a scene." Dimitri 2 said.

"were sorry." Dimitri 3 said.

Triple D just went up to them respectfully. And nuzzled them. "it's fine, we know you tried my best." They said.

"now anyway, that's not why I brought you all here." Dylan said. "the Dimitris told me that you know my secret."

"that you practice kissing on your mop?" Destany said.

"WHAT! NO!" Dylan said blushing, while the Dimitris snickered.

"how you have tea parties with you 'moon' rocks." Dallas said.

"NO!" they were all on their back, kicking their legs while laughing.

"that you have a crush on Dolly for the longest time now, and don't know how to tell her." Déjà Vu said.

"NOOO…wait, yes!" he said. "um." Dylan just started rubbing his arm. "how did you, you know, find out."

"well, when you two normally argued, you guys would be pressing your face right up on each other." Destany started.

"But for a while when you two would argue, you would pull your face back." Dallas said.

"and not to mention we can see you slightly blush every time your faces almost touch." Finished Déjà Vu.

"was it that obvious." Dylan said dropping his ears.

"oh please, we pretty much figured it out before you did." Destany said.

"It was actually getting sad." Dallas said.

"like really sad." Déjà Vu said.

"well seeing as this is more important." Dimitri 1 said.

"I think it be best." Dimitri 2 said.

"for us to leave now." Dimitri 3 said, as they all were about to run. But Dylan was on to them.

"hold it!" he said with a demanding voice that froze them in their traces. "I only brought them in for clarification. But now I think it's time for your punishment. Tomorrow you six will be cleaning the attic the day." Triple D was about to say something. "I mean daring the Dimitris like that, that's not funny." He said putting on a disappointed face, "I will make sure everyone knows that no one will be allowed to go up there, and that it will only be you six cleaning all day." He said then looked to see that the six of them were getting what he was saying, which they did. "but really, I do want some of it cleaned up." He said.

The six of them rolled their eyes at this, "Classic Dylan!" they all said. and slightly laughed.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up." He said slightly chuckling, "let's just get back now." He said. "now come on, we really should show Spike and Summer around London."

"oh, really?" Dimitri 1 and Destany said.

"just because they're for the 'sticks." Dimitri 2 and Dallas said.

"I thought you learned your lesson last time." Dimitri 3 and Déjà Vu said. they all started to laugh at this. Dylan laughed with them as well, just not as hard.

"oh, and one thing before I forget." He said. they all stopped and watched as he walked behind Triple D, "remember they are 'my' sisters, I don't want you casing them any harm, you got me. If you hurt them, I don't care who you are, I will do everything in my power to protect them." He said hugging them closer to him.

The Dimitris were about to laugh at the thought of Dylan trying to be violent, but when they looked into Dylan's eyes, a cooled shiver ran down their spine, it was a look they have never seen before coming from him. The look that said he will cross any line for them, "right." They said scared of him.

"Dylan you don't need to worry, we can take of our self." Triple D said and then hugged home, "they know better." The three said and gave them their own evil eye scaring them just as much.

"Good." he then went back to normal, "now let's go back in."

Inside the house.

Dylan saw that everyone was back to normal and doing their own little things. But right now, he was on the lookout for Spike or Summer. He then saw Dolly right by the staircase, not looking all too happy. "Hey, what's the matter?" he asked.

Dolly looked over at him. Dylan could see she was kind of upset. "hey bro. Summer and Spike are on the roof, Summer wants to talk to you." She said, Dylan heard 'it' in her voice.

"got it." He said and went up the stairs.

As Dylan was about to reach the top he saw Spike just sitting right beside the door to the roof. He noticed that he was missing his shark tooth neckless. "oh, she up there." He said.

"Thanks, and just to let you know, I don't have any hard feelings." He said going up but was stopped.

"what!" he said.

Dylan pointed to his neck, "I saw how Dolly looked. I think I know what going to happen." He said as he walked onto the roof. When he closes it, he saw Summer sitting there, and staring up at the sky it wasn't night just yet, but a few stares were peeking out. He takes a set next to her as looked up as well. "that's Polaris, the north star."

"is that what it is. I did not know that. Is that the one that's always true north?" She faked it, they started laughing. When the laughter died down. "there's something I need to tell you."

"yeah, I think I know what you're going to tell me. But you should say it anyways." He said.

"well…I like you, I really do. At one point I thought maybe…" she said letting it hang there. "I thought maybe there could have been something. But…"

"over time you just had to move on, I might not have come back anytime soon." He said.

"yeah, and well…"

"Spike was there, he was always been there. It just took a while to see it." He said again.

"wow, you really did know what…"

"you were going to say, yes. and I get it. I understand, and I am happy for you. You deserve someone that makes you happy, but I won't lie and say this doesn't sting a bit. I mean, I like you, nothing's going to change that, and I am happy. But a small part of me wanted it to be me that made you feel that way. But knowing you're happy, is still great to hear. And I hope maybe we can still be friends." He said. this conversation was with them not even looking at each other, but at the sky as it changes to night.

"I can live with that." She said raising her paw. Dylan smiled as he saw this from the corner of his eye, he brought his paw up and tried to paw bump it but failed in his usual why until he falls on the ground. "why to go city boy."

Dylan just glared at her for a second, this was the first time he actually looked at her since walking onto the roof, "that shark tooth really does look good on you."

Summer just played with it a little, but then stopped. "are we really ok."

Dylan gets up, "you see her." He said and pointed to the corgi next door.

"Yeah, what about her."

Dylan slightly chuckled. "well, she's my 'ex-fiancé'." He said.

"What?!" she said and looked again.

"well…she tricked me into signing a marriage certificate, and the only reason she wanted to marry me was that 'I was the heir to Dalmatia'-but it was all a miss misunderstanding-making me royalty and her wanting a quick ticket in because of her breed." He said. "but even after that, we may not be friendly, but we are on speaking terms, but we can't tolerate each other from time to time. And that was even before she tricked me. So, if I can deal with her, I think we can still be friends." He said.

"MY EARS ARE BURNING, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT ME!" Clarissa yelled up to them. And started barking.

"NOTHING!" he yelled down. "I think we should go back inside now."

"yeah, I think that's best." She said and then started walking to the door.

"Right behind you." He said walking right behind her.

And with that, another chapter is done with. Hope you all liked it
