Dylan was slowly starting to wake up, light may not be shiny on him, but over the years, his body would always wake up around the same time. "hum, I guess it's time." he said yawning and stretched but found something limiting his movement. "hum?" he then looks and saw why his movement was limited. Dolly was hugging him with her paws placed right on his back, and her face was pressed into his chest. He then noticed that his paws were on her back after letting them go back to where they were after starching. Dylan was confused at first, but then had a smile on his face, 'what I wouldn't give to be like this for the rest of our life.' He thought, he then slightly pulled her into him, 'but I know you don't see me that way.' He said, he then sighed. "time to wake up." He said. then while still holding her, he was shaking here. "hey, Dolly. Time to get up."

"hum." She said, then just barred herself closer into his chest. "five more minutes." She said.

Dylan was blushing after she did this. "yeah, ok. Well can you let me, OWOWOWOWOW!" he said after felling Dolly digging her claws into his back.

"I said, 5 more minutes." She said again angrily.

"OK OK OK!" she then went back to normal.

"Just pretend I'm the girl you like." She then cracked opened one eye and looked at him.

Dylan just looked at her open eye, "fine." He said and then just let himself go back to how he was before trying to wake up Dolly. He could feel Dolly smiling even though he wasn't looking at her.

"why the sudden affection?" he asked.

"it's not affection, I'm just happy." She said.

"ok, why so happy?"

"Remember how I said last night was the best sleep I've had in a long time, well I slept so well last night." She said. "I seriously don't know when the last time I slept like that." She said.

It was a while with them just laying there. Dylan was enjoying just lying there that he didn't care how long it was, time just didn't have any meaning to him.

"hey." Dolly started. "it feels like it been more than 5 minutes, how long has it been?"

"I don't know." he said a yawned. "could have been 5 minutes, I wasn't paying attention." He said.

"I guess we should be getting up then." She said.

"Yeah, we should." He said getting ready for her to let go, but she did something different. she moves her hind legs and placed them at his pelvis. "Dolly?" he asked blushing. he then felt her move her arms from his back and then on his chest. It was at that time he figured out what she was about to do, "Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, DOLLY!" he yelled as he was sailing throw the air because Dolly flung him. He then landed on at the foot of his bookshelf, he then growled, "Dolly!" he yelled, of cores because he landed at the foot, and then the book started falling, "owowowow." he said as the book fell on him.

"oh no." Dolly said seeing Dylan getting barred.

"why?" Dylan said.

"Sorry, I thought it would be funny. didn't mean for this to happen. Should have probably looked around before doing it." Dolly said.

Dylan just looked at her, he saw her face and know she meant it, as well as in her voice, "just don't throw me next time." he said getting up and putting some book quickly away.

"so, you don't mind if we sleep like that again?" she said helping him clean up.

"even if I said no, you'd just do something to get your way. It's like anything I say means nothing to you." Dylan said finishing up.

"that not true, I listen sometimes." She said.

"Really, when was the last time you did anything I say the first time around and not try and do it while I wasn't looking." He said. Dolly opened her muzzle, but nothing came out, she was thinking while opening and closing. "that's what I thought." He said finishing putting the books away. "come on let's go serve briefest to everyone."

Once inside.

"oh, there you two are." Said Dawkins the moment they stepped into the kitchen. He was messing with the kibble pump.

"Where have you two been everyone already been feed an hour ago?" said Da Vinci said walking in with a toolbox.

"wait, but we just got up?" said Dolly looking around.

"Yeah, we're always up early?" Dylan said.

"well, when I came downstairs and saw Mom and Doug filling some bowls without this." He said patting the kibble pump, "so I decided to help." Dawkins said, then accepted the tools from Da Vinci.

"and once they were done, I was coming down and decided to get you two since you have gotten up yet. But then I heard you say 5 more minutes, so I left thinking you be in soon. That was an hour ago." Da Vinci said.

"AN HOUR!" both of them said. they looked at each other, they then looked away and acted a little awkward.

Dylan coughed, "anyways, where is everyone?" he said, "also, did you leave a bowl for us?"

"their up-stairs, getting a checkup. And yes." Dawkins said. he then pointed over his shoulder without looking at two bowls. "and I suggest you eat fast to get your check-up before your exam." Dawkins said, he then went back to work, "1/4 socket wrench."

"um…"

"second from the left." He said sticking his paw out.

Dylan and Dolly just left them to do their own thing. "It's nice to see them spending time, even when they don't have to." Dylan said.

"well, I did put both of them in charge yesterday, thinking Dawkins might not be enough anymore. Might not have had to." he said.

"really, more changes without my input. 'we' are top dogs, 'we' should talk about it." she's said sitting down.

"It wasn't that big. It like all the other times we run off and say Dawkins is in charge, this time I just added Da Vinci. I don't think D.J. would have like to be in charge. And I don't know who else would have been better." He said staring eating, "besides, once I'm off to mars, you can make all the changes you want, or when mom and dad leave it to you." He said.

Dolly didn't know why, but when Dylan said that, her heart broke. "hey, about the '5 more minutes' thing." Dylan blushed as he was eating but didn't let it show. "you seem to have been getting into it, this girl must be something." She said.

"Yeah, she really is." He said.

"then why not invite her to come to see you, maybe she might one of those girls that like feats of coolness." She said.

"that not how I want for her to fall for me, I want her to like me for being me, not for something I might not use for if I fail."

Dolly just sat there thinking, "is she going to be there?"

"Maybe she is, maybe she isn't, do you think I would tell you. I want to tell her, I don't what anyone looking for her." He said finishing his bowl. "hum…" he started scratching his chin.

"what?"

"don't know if I should eat another bowl to keep my strength up, or if I should go as is as to not be weighed down?" Dylan said.

"Only you." Dolly said. finishing up. "just hurry up, I'll go get my check-up down with." she said and left. But not before running into Delilah, "oh, hi mom."

"oh, good morning Dolly." She said then saw Dylan, "so both of you are up."

"Yeah, sorry. We feel back to sleep, don't know what came over us." Dylan said rubbing his eye. "I should get myself checked out for my exam." He said getting up and leaving.

I don't know if I'll make a follow-up, or just go straight up to the exam. We Will just have to see, we may be in the new year, but 2020 is still effecting everyone, so I don't know when the next chapter will come out.
