"so, what do you think about going to the science museum as a location we can visit." Dylan asked as he was loading the last few blows into the blow flinger.
Dolly was calibrating the kibble pump, after years of working it she learned a thing or two, "oh come on, this is for tourists, a museum is no place for a tourist visit." She said finishing pushing buttons.
"well, Summer dose enjoy the sciences and astronomy, I don't know what they have back in Cornwall. and I want her to enjoy herself a little, plus it would be fun to see it myself." He said blushing a little from selfishness, he then finishing loading it up. "ready on this end." He said.
"some here." She said strapping on the kibble pump.
"on the count of three. one."
"two."
"th…"
"oh, your both awake?" asked Delilah walking into the dining room.
"Morning Mom." They said.
"what about me?" Doug said walking in after his wife looking offended.
"Sorry Dad. Didn't see you." Dolly said.
"Yeah, sorry." Dylan said. "what are you guys doing up so early?" he asked.
"We just thought we should handle breakfast today, what with us retiring soon. We need to get used to his kind of work so that soon you two can…" Delilah said.
"have your own lives." Doug said.
"*yawn* your all up?" Dorthey said walking in.
"morning Sweety/Dorthey." Everyone said.
"what are you doing up." Asked Dylan.
"I thought I would fix breakfast today. I don't know why, I just had the sudden urge to help?" she said yawning again.
"aw, that's very sweet of you honey." Doug said and then hugged her.
Dylan just out of curiosity looked round the corner. "DYLAN!" Dolly yelled surprise him. "what are you doing?"
"Just seeing if anyone else was going to help with breakfast." He said getting into position. "if you want to help you should know how to use this." Dylan said.
"oh please, we've been taking care of…
"3!" Dolly yelled.
Dylan launched bowl after bowl in the air without even looking at Dolly, and she was firing shot after shot before knowing where the bowl were, it took then lest then less than a minute and everything was all set. "and that's, how it's done." Dylan said walking around the table moving the bowls to the right places if they were off slightly.
"you two really have done this for so long." Delilah said.
"well, when you work at this as long as we have, you pick up a few things." Dolly said walking to the side of the door. "BREAKFAST!"
"The walls are the safest places to be right now." Dylan said placing himself at a wall, Dorthey went right in front of him.
"oh please, I think we know what we're doIIINNNGGG!" Delilah said getting swept along with the current ending up far from their usual location.
"Sorry Mom and Dad." Everyone said.
"what's with the early wake-up call." Asked Spike stumbling into the dining room.
"I thought the best waves were in the morning?" Summer said walking in like she's been awake for hours.
"well we're not at the ocean, it felt nice sleeping a little later than usual." He said yawning.
"Right over here, saved you guys some seats." Dolly said sitting in the same spot she always sits, followed by Dylan and Dorthey.
"thank you." They said. sitting down.
Delilah was about to ask something, but Dawkins beat her to it. "so, what do we have on the agenda today?"
"well, while Summer and Spike are visiting, were going to be showing them around. After I put Triple D and the Dimitris in the attic from yesterday's incident." Dylan said.
"you mean 'we'." Dolly said.
"you were out of it when I was deciding their punishment. So, I think I should be doing this." He said. "next time, you can do it."
"huf." She then just shoved her muzzle into her food.
"so, what are you going to do?" asked Doug.
Dylan looked over to Dolly the same time she did the same. They were having a conversation with just their eyes. After a few seconds of squinting, eye rolls and slight head shakes. "we'll see what comes to us while we're out, we do have a few ideas on where to stop." Dolly said.
"Would it be alright if I come with you?" asked Dorthey. She was right in the middle of them.
"Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that, you?" Dylan asked.
"nope, you two?" Dolly asked Summer and Spike.
"not at all." They said.
"and what about us?" asked Doug and Delilah.
"you guys wouldn't know if she comes with us or not. Did you know that Dizzy and Deedee were with prince waffle before you came back?" Dolly asked.
Doug and Delilah just looked at each other and did the same as Dylan and Dolly. "no." they said dejectedly.
"it's not that we don't want to tell you, but things just happen, so really if Dorthey wants to come with us, it's more of a, 'for your information' kind of deal." Dylan said
"and it's not like we're doing anything dangerous. We'll be fine, that's why you put us in charge. We make a great team." Dolly said holding up her paw waiting for Dylan to hit it. But like always.
"AHH!" he said falling onto the ground.
"Bro." she was disappointed.
Everyone laughed.
After breakfast.
"ok, everyone, we're off. Behave yourself." Delilah said.
"we well." Everyone said.
"Group hug!" no matter how old they got they will always do a group hug.
"Alright, alright. Come on Doug" and with that, they left.
Not long after everyone was scattering, "ok, Dolly can you get everything ready for the day, I'll get the punishment taken care of. Dawkins come with me" Dylan said walking upstairs with everyone.
"hey, I can't help but Dawkins can?" Dolly complained.
"I just need to tell him something after I set them up so that he knows what to do every now and again. He's also going to keep you away while I talk to them." He said and continued to go up.
"huf. Come on, we'll need a few things." She stormed off.
Up in the attic.
"ok just wait right here for me. oh, and if Da Vinci comes by, tell her to wait as well." Dylan said.
"what do you want with her?" Dawkins asked.
"you'll see if she comes by." He said walking up the attic. When he gets there, Triple D and the Dimitris were paired up with each other respectfully. "ok, then. Now you all know this 'punishment' is just an excuse for you six to be together without anything interrupting you." The six of them nodded, "but I need you to actually clean just a little. Dust a little and move some of the boxes around."
"Yeah, yeah." They all said and split up into different corners.
"you did bring water and snakes up right?" he said.
"yes." they all said.
"enough to last the day?" Dylan said getting warred like he always does.
"yes!"
"the right cleaning supplies to clean up a little when you do clean."
"OMD. Yes!" Triple D said.
"Just go already!" the Dimitris said.
Dylan wanted to say something, but he knew they wouldn't listen to him. "just open a window to let air flow or you'll all be sneezing all day. As well as cooling the place, hot air travels upwards and you don't want to overheat." He said and just walked out without hearing if they heard him. When he got down he pulled a rope that made the stares to the attic going back up into the ceiling.
"Dawkins said you needed me." Asked Da Vinci. She was covered in paint.
"yes, but…what happened to you." He said, then saw Dawkins was also covered in paint, pretty much covered in the same pattern as her. "and what happened to you."
They blushed, "just a little accident/nothing to be conserved about." They said.
"anyways, when Dolly and I would run out off, we'd put just Dawkins in charge. But now that everyone is older I think you two should be in charge today, you ok with that?" he asked.
Dawkins and Da Vinci looked at each other and nodded, "that seems acceptable."
"It could be fun being in charge."
"great. Check on them every now and again, see if they need anything." Dylan then got a slight blush, not strong enough to be noticed. "And don't worry if you hear strange noises, they might just be fighting." He said while coughing into his paw. "and if you want to go to the park, ask everyone." He then looked up, "not them." He said pointing up.
"understandable." Dawkins said.
"that is their punishment. Why reward them?" Da Vinci said.
"good, and Dawkins. If you need help, I have a reference sheet, you know where it is. Only call us though the worldwide woof if you can't handle something." Dylan said. "well I think you got this, nothing should happen like yesterday. I should meet up with everyone before Dolly starts yelling." He said walking away. "try not to burn the house down." He said while going down starts.
When he left Dawkins and Da Vinci just sat there staring at looked at each other, then an awkward silence fell, "listen, about happened earlier..." Dawkins tried to say something.
"I don't want to talk about it." Da Vinci said walking away, "come we need to wash up before they leave."
Downstairs.
"so were all ready to go." Dylan said walking up to the group.
"Yeah, yeah." Dolly said.
"and where are we going first?" asked Summer.
"well, if I know Dolly as well as she knows herself." Dolly glared at Dylan, "then she wants to go to a skatepark and just goof off."
"hey." She said.
"But I think the days still early and going to a fun location that everyone will enjoy will be best. And then the rest of the day Dolly can choose whatever she wants with no complaints from me." Dylan said.
"and just how long will we be there for." Dolly asked.
"if everything goes well, it should take two, three hours." He said.
"wait, just three hours. And then I get to do whatever I want for the rest of the day?" Dolly said sounding skeptical.
"yes, just three hours and then we do whatever you want." He said.
"and me?" asked Dorthey.
"um." Dylan and Dolly looked at each other. "you can…um…you can pick what we have for lunch." Dylan said.
"yeah, we can have it delivered to the park when were ready to eat." She said.
"yeah, I got this button that orders food, and I can have Dawkins change the location and about of food its orders. This is how we order food when we get low fast." He said to Summer and Spike.
"ok." Dorthey said.
"well then let me go talk with Dawkins quickly and be outside." He said and walked away, "oh right Dorthey." He said. and Dorthey then followed after him.
And there you have if, another chapter is done with. I hope you all liked it. The next few chapters are going to be interesting, but I might not post then right away, I'm going to try and go back to my Rockdog and Zootopia fics. But we will see.
