Past
It was the year 1991, Bandit was 12 years old, He and his brothers were hanging out in a store that was separated into two parts. One part sold fishing candy and food. It had a little section where dogs could hang out. The other side sold fishing equipment, bait, Hooks, Lines, and more. The boys were in the fishing section, Bandit was looking in the freezer on the corner of the store. Trying to decide on what to buy for their fishing trip on the beach. "So what do y'all wanna catch today, sharks, rays, or maybe we should try some different bait to see if we get a new species of his". Bandit said as he scrounged through the freezer. But no one responded, The blue heeler looked up to see both of his brothers distracted. Rad, his older brother, was distracted by a picture of Doreen the Great Pyrenees, a long-time friend of their mother. And Rad had a huge crush on the older woman. "one day you will be mine". He said as he kissed his two fingers and placed them on the picture. "This guy is a loss cause, ain't that right stripe". Bandit said as he closed the cooler and grabbed some cut-up fish chunks.
Stripe however was looking at the poster that was on the wall. It showed a dog in a pink ballerina dress, she was a chow chow gliding in the air, and with big words written in bold, it said "The Amazing Wonder" Stripe said as his eyes glowed in front of the poster. "Mate…..Mate…….MATE"! Bandit yelled, getting the attention of his 2 brothers, including some other dogs. "What are you doing mate, you're distracted by some chick on a stupid piece of paper"! Bandit complained as he pointed at the poster, Stripe ignored him and looked back at the poster. "I just think she's pretty, And her fur looks so fluffy". Stripe said as he blushed while making a goofy smile. Bandit just shook his head, looking at both of his brothers in an annoyed manner. "c'mon stripe it's not like she's gonna walk through the door". Bandit said, pointing his right hand at the entrance door.
"BAM"
And then she walked into the building. a small chow chow wearing a ballerina dress, walking as if she owned the place. She grabbed a bag of low-fat chips and a diet soda bottle. The Chow Chow walked up to the cashier who was an orange boxer. "I'll get a strawberry milkshake, make sure to not forget the cherry, And I just might give you a 30-dollar tip". She said, not even bothering to look at the cashier. The boxer started to get to work immediately, wanting to get the 30-dollar tip. "You have got to be kidding me". Bandit said, shaking his head, as he looked at his younger brother. Stripe was wide-eyed, he couldn't actually believe it. The girl he has been crushing on recently was only 8 feet away from him. "Who even is she"? Rad said as he put the picture of a middle-aged woman in his pocket.
"She's in the competition at the fair near the beach. The winner gets a giant trophy to see which child has the best talent. And guess what her family is the only one putting posters around, showing how great she is". Bandit said, shaking his head, her family lived near his beach house. Where The Bandit and his family were enjoying their summer holiday. Out of all the competitors they were the only ones showing off their daughter's talents. "And she is so beautiful". Stripe said as rubbed his hand, being a bit nervous. "Hey mate she's right there you should go up and tell her your feelings". Rad said lightly punching his younger brother in the shoulder. "Nico, I can't! B-But what happens if she says no"? Stripe said in a panic.
"C'mon man the worst she can say is no, Trust me Ms Dooren has said no to me multiple times. And it doesn't hurt, It just makes me want to marry her more". Rad said as he leaned on his younger brother, just thinking about the middle age woman made the heeler blush. "both of you are a lost cause, I hope I never fall in love". Bandit said, scowling at his brothers. "Oh yeah, what about that red heeler you were talking all about last year? You said she was an amazing orange with just a hint of a dark orange patch on the right side of her face, wearing a pretty white and yellow dress". Rad said, walking up to his younger brother and flicking his nose. "Ok yeah, I did say that but I realized that I was being stupid. What even is the possibility of me seeing her in the future". Bandit said
"Well little brother, the world can sometimes surprise you, like how it surprised me with my true love". He said taking out a picture of Doorean, he used his finger to give a kiss to the middle-aged dog. "one day my love, one day". He whispered while having his eyes closed. "there are so many things wrong with what you just did right now". Bandit said, feeling as if he was gonna throw up.
But as the 2 Heeler brothers continued to argue, Stripe couldn't help but keep his eyes on the Chow Chow. She looked bored and annoyed by just sitting there. The young blue heeler took in a deep breath and decided to grow some courage. "The worst thing she can say is no". The blue heeler said to himself, as he walked up to light gray chow chow. He stood there as she waited for her smoothie, she looked down at her dress making sure there was not a speck of dirt on it. The chow chow then noticed a blue heeler with a sweatband. staring at her with a nervous grin. She rolled her eyes at him, and placed her hand on her chin. "what do you want". She said in a very rude manner, flicking a piece of dirt in front of the blue heeler.
U-u-u-um Hi there my name is…..um, Well what's your name? I heard you were the amazing wonder, and that you were going to be in a competition at the fair. And well I think you're gonna win". Stripe said with a bit of confidence, The Chow Chow lifted her eyebrows. She then smiled at the blue heeler, acknowledging that he knew about her. "Ok ma'am here's your smoothie, that'll be 9 dollars and 88 cents, and of course, I didn't forget the cherry". The boxer said as he showed it to the chow chow. "Um, actually you did forget it". She said as she flicked the cherry off the smoothie onto the boxer's shirt. "And you know I'm not really in the mood to drink this, I already have my snacks". The Chow Chow said as she grabbed the smoothie.
"SPLAT"
……..
She dumped it all over the blue heeler's head, causing a sudden silence around the shop. "Since you forgot the cherry ima be taking these 2 for free". She said as she grabbed the chips and soda, taking them away and walking up towards the door, "My name is Wendy by the way, And I'm definitely winning the contest". The Chow Chow said as she walked out and shut the door. The Boxer and Heeler brothers stood still, taking in everything that just happened. "I thought you said the worst she could do was say no ''. Bandit said, shaking his head at his older brother. "Well I mean……it could have been worse, Ain't that right stripe"? Brad said, trying to cheer up the blue heeler. But Stripe couldn't respond. He had tears rolling down his eyes as he wept with a strawberry smoothie on his head. "I'm quitting this Job" the boxer said as he grabbed a piece of paper and pen writing his 2 week notice.
"I thought the worst she could say was no" Bandit said as he grabbed a good amount of napkins and gave it to his younger brother. "I mean it could have been worse". Rad said trying to lighten the situation "It's alright Stripe, there's plenty more dogs in the sea". He said
"Sniff"
"Sniff"
Stripe was crying as he used the napkins to clean the tear-filled smoothie off his face.
2 HOURS LATER
After that whole incident, The Heeler brothers left the shop and headed out to the fishing pier to fish for sharks. Each of them had 3 rods waiting for a shark to bite. It was the middle of the day so they weren't getting any bites, The pier was somewhat empty with only a few other dogs fishing. The 3 heelers were under a small roof sitting on a wooden bench. Rad had a picture of Doreen admiring her beauty, Bandit was more concentrated on the rods waiting for his reel to start clicking. "C'mon stupid sharks, Bite my hook". He said as he tapped his foot, The blue heeler then turned around to see that Stripe was still crying, but not as much he only had small tears flowing down his eyes. Bandit just shook his head, thinking that his brother was overreacting.
"Why did she do that to me" Stripe said out loud, as he brought his legs up to the seat and hugged them. "Mate just get over her, it was your first crush. Don't think the first dog you meet is gonna be the one you date forever. I mean look at Mum she had 10 boyfriends before meeting up with our dad. And dad had like ...well he had…..Ok bad example, But anyway do you really think that skank was your true love"? Bandit said lightly, slapping his brother in the back, Stripe slowly shook his head. "See, now c'mon let's play this card game I found in the gas station, I think it says one in Spanish". Bandit said, taking out a deck of black and white cards.
"RRRRRRRR"
Bandits' rod started to squeal as a fish took off with it, The blue heeler jumped from the bench and ran up to his small rod. "It sounds like a good one mate". Rad said as he looked over the pier watching his brother struggling to pull the fish. "Stripe get the net"! Bandit yelled as he continued to pull on the fish. The youngest heeler ran and grabbed the net, it had a rope that allowed it to go down so they could pick up fish from the pier. Stripped dropped the net still holding on to the rope as he waited for his older brother to bring in the fish.
"IT'S A SHARK"! Yelled the oldest brother as he pointed at the gray bull shark that was hooked, struggling to be released. Bandit pulled on the fish until it was close enough under the net, "PULL". Radly yelled as Stripe did as he was told, The shark luckily managed to get in the net. And stripe kepped on pulling, as the shark shocked in the net. When the fish got close enough the older brothers pulled it up on the pier. "It was shaking around the net, trying its best to get off. "Finally we caught something good besides a sunburn". Rad said as he picked up the cylinder net carefully pulling in the shark's tail to get it out. "Let's measure it first before we kill it". Bandit said as he took out a flip knife from his pocket. Rad went up to a board that would allow them to measure the fish. He gently placed him down on the board, while putting his foot on its head to make sure it wouldn't bite him. "Alright, his small enough let's cut him up and have him ready for Mum". Radly said as he picked it up and placed it on the cleaning board where a hose was located. And so dogs on the pier could de-gut their fish, which was included so they could wash off the blood.
"You wanna do it," Bandit said offering the knife to Stripe, Stripe took the knife. This wasn't the first time they gutted a fish, It was something the heeler brothers were used to. Stripe walked up to the board as the shark kept on trying to jump away. The blue heeler then held it by the head And used the back of the knife to whack it on its head. The shark stopped moving; it was dead but the nerves were still alive, causing it to shake. But it stopped as soon Stripe plunged the knife into its stomach. The blue heeler pulled it down and all its organs came out, stripe pulled on them with his bare hands. He held it up, looking at just how disgusting it was, just by smelling it. And then that's when his brain started thinking of an idea
Revenge
Later that day the sun started to set, The 3 brothers were walking back to the house holding their own rods. Stripe was holding a small cooler with a strap so he could put it on his shoulders. Heading up to their holiday house, while Rad and Bandit were talking about what they were planning on doing for the next few days. Stripe was looking down at the cooler thinking, and tapping on the cooler. When they reached the house Rad took out the keys and opened the door. Their parents were out on a date, and probably not gonna be back until midnight "Hey I'm going to go and put the rods back in the shed, could you give me your rods". Stripe said, waiting for his older brothers to give him the poles, "Thanks stripe, we're gonna go get the console ready, don't take too long. I've been waiting to play the new game for a long while. I heard that it has some big turtles we have to fight". Bandit said, shaking his younger brother's head.
"good evening kids", said a young Dooren, she was also on holiday and happened to have her holiday house near theirs. "Hello, Ms. Pyrenees". The two younger heelers said waving at the middle-aged lady, she was recently back from getting groceries. "Hey…..miss Pyrenees, you look good and beautiful today". Rad said, lifting one eyebrow up, flirting with her. "Rad we've talked about this. I'm over twice your age, I will be 66 by the time you're 40, And I'm already dating someone". The white dog said with a blank face, this wasn't the first time she had to explain the information to the young dog. She walked up to her house and opened the front door walking in, wanting to get away from the weird heeler. "I still have a picture of you". Radly whispered, with tired eyes, causing bandit to worry for the middle-aged dog. "You're weird for that". Bandit said, shaking his head at his brother, Rad of course ignored it by flipping him off.
The two older brothers walked into the house, Stripe was alone outside. He didn't take the rods, instead he walked back to the backyard. With the cooler, the backyard had a wooden fence and a small garden where their mother would grow large sunflowers. And a shack where they kept equipment for the holidays, Stripe walked in and looked around. There were coolers and fishing gear, including beach toys, and other equipment. But Stripe was looking for a certain object, he pushed around some old furniture and then he managed to find it. It was a small bucket with a lid. He put the small portable cooler down and opened the lid of the bucket. It was all empty, Stripe then opened the small cooler beside him taking out a ziplock bag, It was full of the shark's rotting flesh. He opened the bag and dropped it in, It wasn't enough though, it did not satisfy the young blue heeler. "I'll have to get more", Stripe said, as he put the lid on top of the bucket, And locked it.
He walked out of the shack and closed the door, running back in front of the house grabbing the fishing gear, and putting it back in the shack. When he was done he walked inside of the house locking the door.
After a long night of playing on their console and ordering pizza. The heeler brothers were tired, sleeping at midnight, Rad and Bandit were on the floor. Rad was using the blue heeler's stomach as a pillow, While Bandit was using his older brother's hair as a blanket. The TV was still on, broadcasting static, leaving the room dark and bright.
Stripe however was in the bathroom with the lights on looking at himself in the mirror. Thinking about how the chow chow hurt his feelings, How he was trying to be nice to her. And instead of kindness, she made fun of him. Being the younger brother made Stripe more sensitive than the others. The blue heeler grabbed a poster showing the amazing wonder, He looked down at the date. Just in 5 days she would be showing her performance, But the issue was that the tickets were sold out. But It wouldn't even have mattered if he could have bought a ticket. Because the tickets were expensive, But the Blue heeler did have an idea to get in the setting and ruin the Chow Chows Show. However, anyone would have told him that it would be a ridiculous and idiotic idea. But Stripe didn't think, in his 10-year-old mind it was a good idea. The young heeler took out some chalk and placed it on the sink. "Last for 4 days or get your money back" The blue heeler read out loud.
MORNING
It was 8 am, The sun was shining and kids were playing on the road. While their parents stayed inside either sleeping so they could get rest from their own children. And inside the heeler's holiday house were Bandit and Rad still sleeping on the ground. Their parents were most likely at a hotel where they stayed overnight. They were most likely having a hangover. "Rad……..Rad….Rad wake up im hungry". Said a Stripe, The older heeler shifted on Bandit's stomach not wanting to wake up, Rad would normally cook breakfast for his brother. The blue heeler then shocked him with his hands. "Stripe let me sleep longer, I was having a good dream that I was married to………What happened to you"! Stripe said with a bit of fear, Causing Bandit to wake up. The middle brother looked at what Brad was talking about. "WHO ARE YOU"! Bandit yelled, getting up from the ground in a panic.
"It's me stripe"!
It was indeed Stripe, But he was different, he had a different color pattern. Instead of a dark purple-blue body, with light blue hands and feet, he had turned into a light brown with even lighter colors on his hands and feet. Basically, he looked like a stranger to his older brother, But he still wore his sweatband. "Why do you look….like that". Bandit said scratching his head, taking a closer look at stripes body. "Well, it's my plan to get revenge on the chow chow that dumped that smoothie all over my face". He said with a determined face, But the older brothers gave him a confused look. "How are you even gonna do that Stripe"? Bandit said, sounding a bit annoyed that his brother was still thinking about the female dog. "Simple, I'm going to do what she did to me but with…..um garbage. And I'm going to do it in the concert above the stage. But there is an issue: the tickets are sold out. That's why I'm gonna walk up to their mansion, it's not even that far away from here, And I'm gonna act like a kid that's from a foreign family that's looking for a bit of extra money for his family. So I will do some labor work like helping around the massive garden they have, And then that's when my plan actually comes into play. In the next few days, I'll gain her parent's trust, so that I can ask them for tickets to go to her show. And then find a way to sneak in from the top of the stage, And drop all the garbage on her head"! He said looking confident and happy, but yet also vengeful.
………….
"THAT'S A STUPID IDEA". Bandit said, smacking the backhead of his younger brother. "Dude just move on, stop thinking about her, she isn't even worth it, Do you really think your idea is even gonna work"! Bandit said annoyed that his brother changed his fur tone for what he thought was the dumbest idea he had ever heard. "Well I think it's a good idea, And I don't care what you say. It's gonna work, And I'm gonna prove it to you"! Stripe said, determined to prove to his older brother that his idea would work. Stripe walked up to the front door, opening it, and slamming it.
The door then opened again, and Stripe walked back into the house closing the door. "Well I'll go do my plan after breakfast, I'm kinda hungry". Stripe said to his older brother, Brad just shocked his head and walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge to make some brekkie.
2 hours later
Stripe was walking down the street up to the sidewalk that was beside the beach. Looking around as the other dogs were playing with their families. He didn't want to spend the majority of his holiday trying to get revenge on the chow chow, But the idea of sweet revenge determined the young heeler. He then turned his head back to the main street. He then took a turn and saw where the mansion was located, The only reason he knew where the chow chow was located. Was because of the large board that said "home of the amazing wonder", with a picture of her. She had a large white mansion, Stripe couldn't see much from the white wall that was covering the bottom part of the Chow Chow's property. But there was a gate that was the entrance to the mansion.
The blue heeler scowled at the board, Shaking his head. He then looked down at his fur. Starting to doubt the plan himself. "I've come too far to give up". He said to himself, as he looked both ways before crossing the street. When he made it to the other street, he walked up to the front wooden gate and looked at how tall it was, He took in a breath and lifted his finger up to the button and was about to push the button.
"SLAM"
"My god I can't believe the contest is in just 4 days, Do you think she's ready for it". Said a 40-year-old female chow chow, walking through the gate. She was wearing lipstick and had a purse that had tiger fur on it. "I'm not sure dear, But she better make it to first place, We Chow chows never are never satisfied with 2nd place, And she knows her punishment". Said a male chow chow with a large mustache, He had a bowtie around his neck.
"Ow"
Said Stripe as he was being crushed by the gate door, he pushed it off still groaning in pain. "Um….hello kid, what are you doing outside of our house". The male chow chow asked the young brown heeler. Stripe regained his balance And tried his best to find his words, He needed to sound like a foreign kid who was new to this place. But he didn't know what to be, so he chose the first thing to come to his head. "Uh huh, ola amigus estoy aqui para la Chamba''. He said with a confident smile, while wagging his tail.
………..
"He must be a foreign kid". Said the female chow chow to her husband, stripe assumed them to be the parents of the chow chow. "Um si, my English is kinda…malo". He said trying his best to do a Hispanic accent, he had taken a Spanish class a while back before summer. He wasn't good at it, but all that mattered was that they bought it "Pero, estoy a trying to find a job for money". He said, surprised at how everything was turning out. "Oh, sweetie I think he asking for work so that we can give him money". The male chow chow laughed, he then walked up to the fake brown heeler, grabbing his hand and shaking him violently. "That's what I'm talking about child labor, OK kid if you really wanna work for some money. I can give you a Job but I'll tell you it will be interesting". The male chow chow said walking back inside the mansion, with his wife, Stripe followed both of them inside their property.
The mansion looked even bigger up close, there were columns, and in the middle of the front mansion were 3 statues of the chow chows. It was an exact copy of the couple, And between the 2 older dogs was the same chow chow that poured that strawberry on Stripe. "Perfecto" Stripe whispered under his breath. "You know we never really got your name, young man". Said the female chow chow, as they kept on walking down the concrete floor that led to the house. "Um, bueno mi name is…... .gabriel……y whats your nombre". Stripe asked her, She smiled at him. "Well my name is Victoria, And this fine man is my husband his name is Reginald". The chow chow said tapping on her husband's back, he then gave her a little kiss on the head. Stripe was still looking around the mansion as they made a right turn towards a shed.
Reginald opened the door with a key and took out a lawn mower, It looked very expensive and large. "If you really want to make some money, young man, you can start by mowing the lawn. The chow chow said giving the brown heeler the lawn mower. Stripe grabbed it and then looked at the amount of grass he was gonna have to cut. The yard was huge, In the young heeler's mind it was as large as a football field. "The whole property is about 8 acres large, We wish you the best of luck though, Make sure to also trim up the edges with the weedwhacker in the shed". Reginald said, as he and his wife to the front door of the mansion. Victoria knocked on the door and a butler wearing a suit opened the door. "Make sure to keep an eye on this one, he's gonna cut the yard, I don't want him stealing anything". The butler nodded, and closed the door. The 2 chow chows then looked back at the brown heeler and waved at him, walking away to the front gate, leaving the brown heeler alone.
…………..
"This is gonna take a while". Stripe said, The cloud started to move revealing the blazing sun. Stripe started to sweat, He turned on the lawn mower and started to get to work.
It took the young heeler for a while, But he had managed to mow the entire front yard. The young heeler was under the shadow of a tree that was by the house. "Water…..I need water……". The brown heeler said as he got up and walked up to the front door, stripe then looked around until he found the doorbell. He rang it and waited for someone to answer, He wiped the sweat off his face and looked down at his wrist. The chalk was luckily not falling off his fur, "Thank god it works". He said to himself, The door then opened but instead of the butler he was hoping to meet. It was unfortunately the same chow chow he had met yesterday, the blue heeler was starting to sweat more, worried that she would recognize him. They stood looking at each other in awkward silence, "And who are you supposed to be"? The chow chow said, holding her hip scowling at the brown heeler. Stripe sighed in relief, glad to know that she couldn't recognize him.
"Mi-mi nombre es Gabriel And soy new here, And I'm helping tus papas with work". Stripe said while trying his best to not look angry, The chow chow looked uninterested. "You must be some foreign kid, well what do you want, there's nothing here for you". She said crossing her arms, and lifting her eyebrow. "Bueno esta muy….pinche calor, y I was wondering if I could get some agua". Stripe said, even pointing at his tongue, The chow chow then smiled. "Oh your thirsty and you want some water…hm……. I'll give you some water. But in return, since you are helping my mom and dad out, I'm gonna need your help with something very simple". She said tapping both of her fingers together.
Inside the mansion the 2 young dogs were in the large living room, It was a beautiful room. A lot of antiques and amazing-looking patterns. And the couches were extremely comfy, And on the middle couch in front of the large TV was the young chow chow. She was relaxing while having her feet up. But she wasn't using a stool to lay her feet, She was using a Brown heeler who looked very pissed. He also looked like he was gonna pass out from a lack of water in his body system. But he wasn't. He was too angry, thinking about the most horrible ways he could hurt her. "I hope you get choked to death you motherf-". Before he could finish his sentence The chow chow got off his back and got off the couch. When she stood on the floor she wobbled a bit, but regained her balance, walking off to the kitchen. Stripe got on his knees starting to think how much more he could deal with this torture. The chow chow then came back with a bowl of water And placed it on the floor in front of the heeler. "Drink boy". Wendy said with a smile, Stripe scowled at her but did as he was told. He licked up the bowl, feeling the cold water in his mouth.
"THUMP"
Wendy had kicked the water bowl away from the brown heeler, Stripe's eyes twitched, he looked up at Wendy with a hateful look, But she was still smiling at him. "The day is still young, you should go and finish up the yard". She said, walking away into another room, leaving the young heeler all alone, in the living room. Stripe started to feel like his whole plan was stupid, was he really gonna suffer all this torture just for revenge? "It's alright kid, I was waiting for her to leave". Said an unfamiliar voice, stripe turned around to see the butler holding a large glass of water, in his other hand was a soda can. "Here you go kid, I saw how much work you were putting in cutting the grass". He said as Stripe quickly grabbed the soda and water, judging it down. The butler was a middle-aged brown and black German shepherd, he had a bit of white hair growing from his head. "My name is Max, I've been working with the chows for a good amount of years". He said as he took the empty glass bottle from the exhausted brown heeler.
Stripe opened the soda can and began drinking from it, "I hate her" Stripe said, putting his back on the couch, The German shepherd nodded, He placed his back on the couch, with the brown heeler. "I can't blame you, kid, She makes my work harder than it should be. But the chows pay well, and I'm trying to save up for my kid's college so he can become a doctor". Max said, shaking his head, thinking of everything he had gone through to get here. He was supposed to go to college at a young age, But he went to a party in his senior year. And that was a mistake that affected his future, getting a girl pregnant in his last year. The worst part was that he had to pay child support while working at dead-end jobs. But being a butler has been the best one so far since he could now afford a place to live. "But I think I know why she acts like that". Max said out loud as he stood up and grabbed the empty trash can from the young brown heeler. "Que-what do you mean by that". Stripe said, looking a bit curious, The German shepherd stood there for a second and then looked back at the heeler. "You'll see". Max said, shaking his head, walking back to the kitchen, Stripe took a deep breath and stood up. Walking back to the front door and opening it, getting back to work, "Ahora para chamber", The brown heeler said, shaking his head.
After a long and dreadful day, The young heeler was finishing up the yard by weed-wacking the edges. The sun was setting and there was a light red and orange in the sky. Stripe was tired, And at the point of collapse. "Thank god dad taught me how to use a weed wacker". He said trimming up the last bits of the wall. When he was done he looked at the amount of work he had accomplished in about 8 hours. He would feel satisfied but he was too tired to even do that. The brown heeler walked up to the shack and laid the weedwacker inside. He closed the door and walked off on the concrete that led to the front gate. "Hey, kid". Said a familiar voice, He turned around and saw the German shepherd walking up to him. "Are you really gonna leave without your cash". The older dog said holding money in his hands, offering the money to the brown heeler. "The chows told me to give you this, And that they want you to come back and work inside the house instead of in the blazing heat, I also gave you a good review. And they seem to like you a lot". He said, As Stripe took the money from his hand, "Wow," Stripe said, surprised at the amount of money he had received. "Gracias, voy coming tomorrow". Stripe said, still making sure they still believed he was a foreign kid.
The German shepherd smiled, and walked back to the mansion, Stripe then turned around and began to walk out of the gate. "Ow……ow". He said as he felt a sharp pain in his legs, he walked really slow, still feeling a sharp pain with every step. He eventually made it to his house, And knocked on the door, He still felt the pain in his legs. "Kill me god", Stripe whispered at the sky.
"Creak"
The door opened, to reveal a blue heeler wearing large pink glasses, and having a huge perm on her head. It was Nana in her younger years, when she used to be called Kris "And who are you". Kris said not recognizing her own son, "Yo soy el stiper, Wait I mean, It's me. Mum it's me stripe, I'm just wearing a good amount of brown chalk". Stripe said, taking off his sweatband and squeezing all the sweat out with his hands. "Oh you're one of my kids, well prove it". She said, crossing her arms, waiting for a response. "I was the only kid you had that was a C-section". He said with a blank face, Surprising his own mother. Oh my god, it is you, "WHY ARE YOU SO LATE"! She yelled at his face, worried for her son. Stripe just passed by her grunting every time he took a step, Until he reached the couch and lied down, not bothered by her screaming. "I'm sorry Mom I was…..working because I found a job here". He said, getting into a comfy position on the couch.
"Oh….a job…… well as long as you are making money I guess it's okay, But if I find out you're selling any type of drugs……I promise to sell you". Kris said giving the young heeler a death stare. Stripe didn't even flinch, He just tapped her on her nose, showing that he acknowledged her threat. She shook her head and walked off to the kitchen. Stripe turned on the TV, watching cartoons, Bandit then walked in wanting to talk to Stripe. "Woah, you look like crap". Bandit said walking inside of the kitchen, Stripe ignored him. Bandit then walked back into the living room holding a plate filled with shark meat And holding a soda for his younger brother. "Here she cooked it just the way you like it". Stripe took the plate, and soda, enjoying the delicious food. "Did your plan work"? Bandit asked
"Well….They bought it, and they said I was a good worker. And they said they liked the work I did, But I'll wait for a bit before asking for the tickets.

Bandit said, shaking his tail. "I know but I'm exhausted, And I have to get back to the mansion early. So I'm going to go take a bath and sleep". Stripe said, sipping up his soda, and walking off to his room, still grunting with every step he took. "This is gonna be interesting". Bandit said to himself as he stretched on the couch enjoying the cartoons on his TV.
