"Now breath out." Deepak said with a soft tone, Charlie did what he was told and breathed out softly, "Good, very good your improving."
"Thanks Deepak... oh I mean Master Guru." He corrected himself and bowed, making Deepak laugh.
"Don't have to be so formal Charlie."
Suddenly screaming could be heard from downstairs.
"Oh, that's not good." Charlie stood up and hurried downstairs.
MEANWHILE
"Where is it?! WHERE IS IT?!" Dawkins asked in complete panic as he darted around the house tearing up anything that was in his way.
"Dawkins! I just organized that!" Dylan groaned.
"I can't find it!" He yelled as Charlie poked his head through the doorway of the living room. On cue came Dolly who slid down the staircase railing.
"Uh... whats with Dawkin and his screaming?" She asked.
"Aparently he lost something." Dylan explained as Dawkins darted more around them.
"Where is it, where is it, Have you seen It?!" He jumped up asking Charlie.
"Uh... what?"
"My flashdrive, it has important information, my projects, my blueprints!" He explained.
"I haven't seen a flash drive, have you Dolly?"
"Not that I know of, Dawkins, what did it look like?"
"It looked like small bone."
"Ohhh... wait a minute." Dolly pondered, "Yeah... I think I saw it."
"Where?! Where?!" Dawkins asked pulling on one of Dollys collars.
"Yo, chill Dawkins relax, I saw it in the park."
"Why is it in the park?" Charlie asked.
"Well... I kinda thought it was bone, so I gave it to Dizzy and DeeDee." She confessed with a nervous laugh.
"YOU WHAT?!!"
"Oh relax I'm pretty sure Dizzy and DeeDee still have it."
WITH DIZZY AND DEEDEE
"We don't have it." Both Dizzy and DeeDee answered.
"Do you have any idea where it could be?" Charlie asked.
"Please try to remember where it is, I need it!" Dawkins pleaded with the twins who looked at each other.
"Sure we can help."
"Anything for our big brother." Dizzy and DeeDee hugged him which kinda helped his panicking.
"So where did you two last see it?"
"Follow us."
"We'll show you where we last saw it."
LATER
Charlie, Dylan, and Dawkins followed Dizzy and DeeDee all the way to the park.
"This should be where we put it."
"Definitely here." Dizzy and DeeDee pointed to the dozens of filled holes.
"You seriously buried it?" Charlie asked.
"Well yeah."
"We thought it was a bone."
"Well I mean it should be easy to..." Charlie said but upon closer inspection, all the holes were dug up, "Find." He sighed.
"Where is it, Where is it?!" Dawkins asked in a panick.
"Woah woah, take it easy Dawkins."
"Take it easy?! That's highly impossible, I need that flashdrive!" He yelled.
"Well someone must have it now." Dylan suggested.
"True but who and where could they be."
"I think they might have it." Dylan pointed to a guy dressed in Goth like clothes, next to him was a large bulldog that has the flashdrive around his neck.
"That's my flashdrive!"
"Alright then just ask for it back."
"Right... just walk up to the ferocious bulldog and ask for my flashdrive back, no biggie." He stated with annoyance.
"Well what else would you like us to do, just go talk to him." Charlie gestured.
"I'll go talk to him." Dylan said as he walked over to the large bulldog, "Hello there I believe you have..." Before he could continue the bulldog started to growl all up on his face, "Something of ours?" Dylan said in fear as he slowly scooted back a little before the large bulldog barked at him ferociously, Dylan then ran back to Charlie as the bulldog was about to chase after him.
"Yo Stauffer, chill boy." The Goth guy pulled on the leashed as they walked away together, the bulldog looked back and gave and evil look at Dylan who winced in terror.
"Well that clearly didn't work." Charlie stated.
"No kidding Charlie."
"But we can't give up!" Dawkins pleaded, "I need that flashdrive."
"Alright, relax Dawkins. Let's follow him, see where he goes." Charlie before turing to the dogs, "Dawkins, you, Dizzy and DeeDee head back to the house, Dylan and I will follow him."
"Oh why can't we come Charlie?"
"Yeah we wanna help." Dizzy and DeeDee looked up with puppies.
"Sorry girls I need you back at the house we all can't go after this guy, it would draw too much attention." He explains much to Dizzy and DeeDee trying their absolute best to get him to change his mind, "Let's go Dylan." He gestured as they hurried after the Goth.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER
"Oh he could be anywhere." Dylan said as he sighed.
"Not that hard to find, look!" Charlie pointed over to the Goth who stood in front of an old abandoned building.
"Oh great couldn't he go somewhere else that's not 'abandoned'?"
"Wait, hang on Dylan. It might be more then just a smoke break." Charlie stated as they watch the goth guy knock on the door in a rhythmic like matter before a small slide opened revealing a goth girl, who they both nodded heads to one another resulting in the door fully opening, "Interesting." He said scratching his chin before he and Dylan looked at each other.
LATER AT THE PARK
"So... let me get his straight." Dolly began, "This goth like human walked into an abandoned building, where a secret knock was used to get inside?" She asked.
"That's what it looks like, but why?" Dylan asked.
"That's the one question we don't have the answer to."
"I might be able to shed some light here." Fergus appeared.
"Fergus it's great to see you." Dolly smiled as did Dylan.
"Great to see you and D-Dog again, now what's this I hear about some goth, and a building?" He asked to which Charlie explained to him, "Hmmm, I think I get what your saying."
"You do?"
"Oh yeah, words got around that a secret frat party is being held there, but the door... that's a different story, not like them to be this secret."
"Thanks Fergus."
"Anything for my pals anyway I gotta go grab something to eat, see ya around."
"See ya." Dylan, Dolly, and Charlie waved to him.
"Alright you two we need a plan."
"Right but... what can we do? frat parties aren't really much of an all-are-welcome group." Dolly stated.
"True that means we are gonna have to blend in with the crowd."
"You don't mean?" Dylan asked in pure confusion and in terror.
BACK AT THE HOUSE
"You can't be serious." Dante said with a look of confusion.
"Look I need your help along with Dylan."
"You want to dress up as a goth again?"
"Hey what's wrong with being goth?" Dante asked.
"Wha... oh nothing wrong with that Dante is just, so much darkness." Dylan shivered.
"You did it before Dyl." Dante looked at him.
"It was one time okay?" Dylan groaned
"Sorry?"
"He dressed as a goth one time just to impress Percila." Dante explained, "It uh... didn't work the way he wanted to."
"Yeah don't remind me."
"Well I hate to tell you this Dylan, but we're gonna need to dress up, in order for us to get Dawkins flashdrive.
"You can't serious!" Dylan asked as he glanced over to Dawkins who didn't seem well as he started shaking like a chihuahua which he sighed in defeat, "Alright... I'll do it, for Dawkins."
"That's the spirit bro." Dolly said.
"So Dante, you on bored?"
"You kidding? yes I am!" He smiled.
"Alright, then it's time to blend in. Cue make over montage!"
"You called?" Triple D appeared behind them holding some equipment.
Later
"Ugh I hate wearing this" Dylan stated as scratched the back of his dyed ear.
"It's not all bad." Dante stated as footsteps could be heard as Charlie entered the room, Dylan almost fainted as soon as he saw him. Charlie had on a black leather jacket that had all kinds of patches along with black fingerless glove, he was also wearing dark gray pants, and his black combat boots, his hair went from its usual dark brown, to a more of a black.
"Well how do I look?"
"Wow... looks... good?" Dolly comment not knowing what to say.
"Eh could be better." Dante said.
"Oh thanks Dante."
"I'm only kidding." He laughed as they shook Dylan back to life.
"H-huh wha..." As soon as Dylan's vision cleared up he fainted again apon seeing Charlie again.
"Come on Dyl this is no time for naps we gotta a flashdrive to retrieve." Dante shook Dylan again.
"Dante right and we better hurry it's almost time for that party to start." Charlie said as he checked his watch, "You two ready?"
"I'm ready."
"I guess I'm ready." Dylan said with hint of embarrassment as Charlie opened the front door.
"Dolly your in charge till we get back, understand?"
"Yeah yeah, don't you worry Charlie I got this." She smiled to which Charlie gave her a look.
"That's what I'm worried sbou, we'll be back."
"Goodluck guys." Dolly and the other pups waved to them as they hurried over to the party.
"So... what's the plan again?" Dylan asked.
"The plan is, get in get the flashdrive and get the hell out." Charlie explained.
"Sounds easy."
"Well thats what we're hoping Dylan."
"But something tells me it's not gonna be easy." Dante said worriedly.
"Hey relax Dante what's the worst that could happen?"
"Famous last words." Dylan joked.
"Look all I'm saying is just blend in, you've done it before so it shouldn't be a problem right?"
"I guess?"
"There we go, now come on we're almost there." Charlie said as they finally reached their destination.
"Huh." Dante stated.
"Whats with the huh for." Charlie asked.
"It doesn't look as bad as I thought it was gonna be." He explained as they approached the door, upon reaching the door the sounds of music could be heard coming from inside.
"Alright let's hope our disguises work." Charlie said as knocked on the door. After waiting for a couple of seconds the slider on the door opened revealing a goth guy looking out, at first he stared at them for a while before nodding his head and closing the slider, unlocking the door.
"Have fun dude... or like whatever." He said as he typed on his phone not paying attention.
"Uh... thanks." Charlie said as he, Dylan and Dante quickly entered. The music was completely blasting as it was mostly death metal, Dylan had to cover his ears.
"Couldn't they pick a quieter place?" He asked.
"Now take it easy Dylan we need to find where that flashdrives at so I need you two to look around." Charlie explain as he unhooked both Dylan and Dante, "Let's split up, Dylan you take the left side, Dante take the right side, I'll take what's left." Charlie said as the boys nodded and took off in their respective locations.
WITH DANTE
Dante quickly headed over to his area which was more closer to the dance floor than he anticipated, as he looked around however he noticed the same goth guy looking around suspiciously.
"Found you, I should tell Charlie." He said as he was about to run to get him but he was stop by another dog.
"Hey there, cool party huh." The dog asked, he didn't really act like a goth he was more hyper active than anyone else, he looked like a stray.
"Y-yeah I guess." Dante answered with pure confusion as the mutt spun around.
"I gotta tell ya there some good food here, definitely, definitely good food here ." He said licking his chops, Dante glanced over the sheepdog and noticed the goth guy disappeared, "Names Mutt, whats yours
"Uhh... Dante."
"Dante huh, that's cool, definitely definitely cool." Mutt said as he sat down. Though it made it kind of hard to have a true conversation due to the music thumping so loudly, "I was supposed to ask something but I forget." He said as he started to think hard,
"Uh huh, well listen I'm uh kinds busy?"
"Oh no problem, definitely definitely no problem, my girl is around her somewhere, her names Portia." He said. Dante overheard the name Portia and immediately widened his eyes, but before he could ask Mutt wandered off looking for Portia.
"He's dating Portia?!" He asked with a whimper before refocusing on his task.
WITH DYLAN
Poor Dylan, he tried to his best to locate the flashdrive thief, but from the thumping music, and flashing lights, it made it extremely hard especially for his anxiety of cleanness itching at the back of his mind.
"Oh where is he?" He asked when Charlie and Dante walked over.
"Did you find him?" Charlie asked Dylan, getting him to lower his head.
"No, how about you Dante?"
"I saw him but got distracted." He explained.
"Well, he couldn't have gotten far, he has to be here." Charlie said as he lean on the food table.
"Well where else can we look, we've basically looked everywhere." Dante exclaimed but as if on cue the goth guy walked by them quickly and started to head for a close door.
"I think we found him." Charlie said as the trio followed him stealthily.
As soon as the goth reached the door, he quickly looked back to see if no one was suspicious about his action, then quickly opened the door. Before the door closed, Charlie quickly put his foot in between the door and frame to stop from fully closing, "You two stay here and keep an eye out." He said to which they both nodded in response before he snuck his way through the dark hallway as he overheard a voice.
"Have you obtained the flashdrive?"
"Yeah yeah, I have it." The Goth guy walked around holding up the flashdrive, "I don't understand why you have so much beef with this dude." He commented.
"It's a long a hateful beef my friend, something you will never understand." The voice stated as Charlie snuck over.
"I mean what's so important on this flashdrive?"
"Thats non of your concern!" The voice boomed causing the Goth kid to jump back, fumbling with flash drive, "Now I need you to upload the information to me." The voice ordered.
"G-got it..." The Goth gave a thumbs up as he reached for the flashdrive but realized it wasn't in his hand, "Uh..." He stated and started to look around.
"Well?"
"Uh... well uh." The Goth guy stuttered as he hurried his searching.
"Perfect opportunity, to strike." Charlie said to himself as he pulled out his own flashdrive and placed it on the ground kicking it across the room sliding perfectly in front of the goth guy feet, the goth quickly snatched it up and plugged it into the laptop and started typing away, Charlie took the opportunity to sneak his way over and grabbed the real flashdrive.
"Alright I'm uploading the data now."
"Excellent let me see what we... wait... wha-what is this?!" The voice yelled, "What have you sent me?!" He asked in pure rage, the goth guy was clearly confused as he looked through the data he just sent, only to see a four minute video.
["Alright everyone check this out." Dylan said as he turning on a boombox and was about to dance but suddenly he tripped and slid to his left, crashing into stuff, then while trying to regain his balance he tripped and rolled over to the other side of the room. After what seemed like an eternity he quickly grabbed the camera and turned off the video]
The Goth guy pulled out the flashdrive and inspected it, it had a tape that read.
"Dylans Dance, Don't not Upload"
"Uh oh..." He said as the voice on the phone screamed in agony.
Charlie was about to start running when he ran into a table causing a lot of noise, but no time to react only one thing to do, escape.
"Who's here?!" The Goth guy demanded pulling out a switchblade. With quick thinking Charlie grabbed a small piece of metal and hurried to the door, after reaching the door he threw the piece of metal far away from the door making a large change sound.
"What was that?!" The Goth guy said moving towards the noise giving Charlie enough time to escape out the door.
Dylan and Dante were waiting patiently for him as he quickly closed the door.
"Did you get it?!" Dylan asked.
"Yeah now let's get the hell put of here." Dylan and Dante both nodded as they hurried for the exit, "Just leave, just leave, just..." Charlie stated but suddenly Dylan stopped, "Dylan come on!" He said but it was too late Dylan seemed to be hypnotized by something... or some one, a poodle was bobbing her head, she had black and purple fur with light-purple and pink streaks. She wears a pink collar with a light-blue accent, "Oh Jesus Dylan this is no time for oogiling girls come on!" Charlie grabbed Dylan by his collar and pulled with all his might, but for some strange reason he couldn't pull him very far.
"Oh no..." Dante stated as he rolled his eyes, "It's Portia."
"Who?"
"P-p-Portia." Dylan panted dreamily, as Charlie looked over to the poodle.
"Dante do something!"
"Right right, on it." Dante said and ran in front of Dylan, who by now was pulling Charlie.
"I didn't think he be this strong." Charlie said as he tried his absolute best to stop Dylan.
"Woah woah Dylan, Chill." Dante said as he put his paws up, however even with his help Dylan still keep moving, "Don't forget about about Summer!" He said which that stopped Dylan, he then shook his in confusion.
"Huh... w-what what happened?" Dylan asked.
"Dude you seriously fell under Portia's spell." Dante explained as Dylan looked back.
"Oh... s-sorry Charlie."
"Nah it's okay Dylan, now let's hurry before this place blows out." Charlie said as they nodded and ran out to the front entrance.
LATER
"So did you get it?! Please tell you have it!" Dawkins asked.
"Relax Dawkins, we have it." Charlie answered holding up the flashdrive with a smile.
"Oh there it is!" Dawkins jumped up and down with joy as he snatched the flashdrive, "Thank you Thank you Thank you!" He yelled out in excitement as he hurried out of the room as Dolly laughed.
"Well I have to say mission accomplished." She smiled.
"Well we almost failed if it wasn't for my flashdrive."
"Your flashdrive?" Dylan asked.
"Yep it looked exactly like Dawkins." Charlie smiled before chuckling, "Oh and uh by the way Dylan their might something on the internet now." He said with a snickered.
"Wait... you didn't?" Dylan asked in fear.
"Sacrifices had to be made Dyl." He laughed running away from an angry Dylan.
"Get back Here!!"
"Oh boy this outta be entertaining, Bow Waka Wow!" Dolly jumped down from the railing and ran after them.
MEANWHILE
"Look Princess Positron, Charlie got back my flash drive." He said holding up his flashdrive to his alien stuffy, "This is the most important project I have ever worked on." He explained as he plugged it in to his tablet, "Soon... I will be the first pup to ever create..." He then upload to his tablet what look like blueprints to a very strange machine.
"A TIME MACHINE!!!"
