Where'd you go

*Somewhere in the woods*

It's a beautiful day to walk in the woods with no responsibilities or worries. That's just what a 17-year-old blue heeler was doing as she walked along the side of a stream. The healer kept walking until she came across a giant pink tree with a 6-year-old blue heeler who looked just like her, holding a journal in her hands.

The teenage healer walks up to the girl heeler, kneels before her, and asks, "Hey, little one, what are you doing here?"

The girl heeler looks up at the teen and says, "I'm waiting for someone."

"Oh yeah? Who?" asks the older one

"A friend," answers the younger one. She turns her notebook around and shows the contents to the older Heeler. "This friend."

The teenage Heeler grabs the notebook and examines its contents. It is a drawing of a blue Heeler that looks like the girl and a dark blue Labrador the same height as the kid

"That's weird…" says the teenage Heeler, pretending to be confused. "I know this boy."

"For real life!? " says the girl, suddenly standing up with her tail wagging at full speed and approaches the teenager to hug her

"For real life! " she says, wagging her tail at the same speed as the girl.

"So, can you find him for me?" says the girl Heeler, holding one of the teenage Heeler's hands.

"Ahh," The teenager exclaims, "it's just that… I don't know… I don't know where he is."

"Aww," the girl reacted sadly. She then returns to the tree and sits in a fetal position to cry.

Feeling helpless not to help the girl, the teenage Heeler walks to the tree and sits next to her. Once next to her, the teenager puts her arm around the girl and then brings her closer. This causes the girl to not cry on her knees but instead begin to cry in the area of the teenager's stomach, and the latter starts to caress the canine's head and body.

After a few minutes of crying, the girl says, "Do you still believe what Mom said that day?"

The teenage Heeler looked lost towards the tree line where her family usually camped. "Yes, but… I think I'm stupid for believing that for so long."

"So why do you keep coming to this place?" The girl asks

"Because I'm still stupid…because I still have hope," says the teenager, still caressing the girl's head.

"And when will you stop being stupid?" the girl asks in a voice of pure innocence that makes the teenager laugh.

"...When I die, little one" the teenager half-jokes and half tells the truth.

"Aww," says the girl sadly, "but do you remember what you promised me? "

"That when I'm out there, to look for Jean-Luc?" says the teenager, remembering what she promised the girl.

"Yes," says the girl with a hint of hope in her voice.

"I remember, But…" says the teenager, looking at the girl on her lap."...It's more complicated than leaving the house and shouting his name."

"But you did something, didn't you?" asks the girl.

"Well…" The teenager looks up in an attempt to think of something and then looks back at the girl"…I'm still improving my French.

"C'est magnifique (That's magnificent)" says the girl in French.

"Bien sûr, c'est (Of course it is)" answered the teenager.

"Hey," the girl sounds, getting up from the teenager's lap. She sits with both knees on the ground and her back straight next to the teenager."What about Mackenzie?"

"Mackenzie?" The teenager asks confused, "What about Mackenzie?"

"You know what I mean." The girl leans her head slightly forward to add a sense of seriousness to what she is saying.

"Ugh," The teenager expresses while letting her head fall back and hit the tree bark."I don't know what to do with Mackenzie,"

"I really, really like Mackenzie…" the teenager begins to explain."...But every time I feel like we could be something more… something happens, and I think there's nothing there. It's more complicated than you think, little girl."

"I know," the girl says, leaning forward and placing her hand on the teenager's shoulder, "but we know it's possible"

The teenager reciprocates the girl's action by caressing the girl's hand on her shoulder ."We'll see."

"I think…it's time for you to go," says the girl

"Why?" asks the confused teenager with one eye half-closed

"Because you're going to be late," answers the girl.

"Bluey, wake up. It's getting late," says an orange Heeler in her early fifties, shaking Bluey's body in an attempt to wake her up

*Bluey's room*

"CORRECTION, WE'RE LATE!" yelled a male voice, also in his early fifties, coming from outside Bluey's room

"Ummm…5 more minutes, Mom," says a sleepy Bluey, still covered in her blanket.

"pfff wonderful," complains Chilli, Bluey's mother

"DESPERATE SITUATIONS, DESPERATE MEASURES!" a female scream came from the next room.

Out of nowhere, Bluey felt two paws on her ankles and a pull strong enough to drag her out of bed and onto the floor with her blanket on top of her.

"HEY!" yelled a grumpy Bluey, pulling the blanket off her head." WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! "

"Awake yet? Hooray, let's go," the 15-year-old orange heeler sarcastically says while showing her hand to Bluey.

Bluey reluctantly grabs the Heeler's hand. "Let this be the last time you do this, Bingo."

"Stop sleeping so much, Bluey," Bingo answers, picking Bluey up.

"You can sleep more on the way, Bluey," Chilli says, standing next to Bingo."Brush your teeth and arrange your fur. Bingo and I will wait for you in the car".

"Yes, Mom," Bluey answers, making Chilli and Bingo leave her room.

Already awake and up. Bluey manages to appreciate the room where she sleeps. It was the same room where she had spent her first few months of life. In addition to the bed, there was a small table with a lamp and a desk to do homework next to it. On the walls were several photos of her family and friends, posters of different bands and singers, and motivational phrases. On the walls were still the luminous stars that helped her sleep. On the other side of the room was a shelf with white, yellow, orange, green, and blue belts, along with some trophies of various sizes.

"Eh, the blanket can stay there," Bluey thinks as she sees the blanket on the floor.

Bluey was about to leave her room when she stopped dead right in the doorway. Then she changed course and walked to the small table next to her bed. With the table within reach, Bluey pulled the cabinet and took out a sheet of paper.

Bluey holds the sheet of paper with her two paws and appreciates what was drawn on it. It was a drawing of her and the dark navy blue Labrador she met 11 years ago.

"Don't worry, little one. If Mom is right, then we should see him again someday, " Bluey thought as she put the sheet back in the cabinet and left her room.

"1 hour later, leaving Brisbane."

"Where are you guys?" A voice comes from Bandit's Phone

"Half an hour, Stripes. We got up later than planned," Bandit answered his brother while still driving."Do you know anything about Rad?"

"He arrived 15 minutes ago with Frisky and Rossi," Stripes says.

"Ok, I'll see you there, Stripes." Bandit pressed the button on his steering wheel to end the call

In the back seats were Bluey and Bingo. Bingo is on her phone, and Bluey is listening to music with the red headphones connected to her phone while looking out the window, but the sound of a notification distracts the Heeler, who forces her to check her phone and find a notification from one of the groups she is in

"THE WILD GIRLS: 4 MESSAGES"

Bluey opens the notification with curiosity and finds four messages from her friend Poodle.

Coco: GIRLS

Coco: GIRLS GIRLS

Coco: DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY?

Coco: DOES NO ONE REALLY KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY?

"What are you trying to say, Coco?" thought Bluey, raising an eyebrow at Coco's messages and almost giggling when she saw the following message.

Judo: BUT SAY IT NOW BARBIE DOLL

"You still have work to do, Judo," thought Bluey. The chow chow may have improved her attitude over the last ten years, but she still saved that strong character for special cases.

Indy: Is it so hard for you to say, "What are you talking about, Coco"?

The Afghan hound comes in to defend her best friend, followed by another message from another member.

Winnie: HEY! WHAT HAPPENED? NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING.

"We're in the same boat, Winnie," Bluey thought. The chocolate Labrador is relatively new to the group, thanks to Bluey.

Chloe: ah

Chole: Will there be an eclipse?

Chole: Are they opening a new restaurant?

Chole: Did your parents pay you?

Chloe: Are "Guardians of the Planet 3" premiering?

"Nice try, Chloe, but I don't think it's any of those," thought Bluey as she saw the messages from her Dalmatian best friend

Judo: No, that garbage was released days ago

Winnie: I thought it was decent

Indy: I already knew it was going to be a flop when it was delayed for the second time

Chloe: Thank goodness I didn't waste my time watching that movie.

"Lunatic with polka dots; I did waste my time watching it yesterday," says Bluey in her mind as she squeezes her phone in frustration. Unfortunately for Bluey and her family, the movie they saw the day before didn't meet the expectations of the Blue Heeler.

Coco: OK, YES, THE GUARDIANS ARE BAD BUT DO ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY?

"I give up; what are you trying to say, Coco?" Bluey thought, her eyes half closed. She was ready to enter the conversation, but a beagle got in first.

Honey: Today we are going to meet the exchange student who is going to stay with Mackenzie

"Oh?" The message catches Bluey by surprise until she remembers what Mackenzie said the day before

"I have to go with my family to the airport tonight to pick up the boy who will study with us."

"Oh yeah, Mackenzie went to pick him up," Bluey thought, then looked at her phone again.

Coco: YES, I'M EXCITED

Judo: Oh really?

Indy: Oh yeah, I forgot

Coco: I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HIM

Coco: AHHHHHHHHHHH

Winnie: Wait, he's here in Australia?

Coco: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Winnie: I hope he's handsome

Coco: I HOPE HE'S A PITBULL FROM MIAMI

Indy: Keep dreaming, beauties. Rusty already told me he's from France.

Indy: And Coco, please turn off the caps lock.

Judo: I agree. Coco stops yelling so much. IT'S 9 IN THE MORNING

Coco: THAT'S EVEN BETTER. THE FRENCH ARE SO ROMANTIC

Bluey rolls her eyes as she watches the group of "wild girls" transform into the "fan girls. "Girls, I love you all, but you're all crazy," Bluey thinks. Then she turns off the phone and thinks, looking out the window at the city that saw her grow up for 17 years.

"This is so dumb," Bluey thought, "Why get so excited about someone who has to leave at the end of the year… Just… leave them, Bluey… you won't make the same mistake you made with Jean-Luc 11 years ago."

Bandit looked in the rearview mirror to check the traffic behind him, but he couldn't help but see his daughter, who had a thoughtful face. "Bluey, I know you. That's your thinking face."

Bluey couldn't help but look at her father and answer, "Oh, it's nothing, just…" Bluey raises her phone so her father can see it."... It's "The Wild Girls" Being "The Wild Girls"

Chilli couldn't help but laugh a little at Bluey's words."That's normal at your age, Bluey."

"What? No, I didn't mean that, Mom," Bluey says, leaning towards the driver and co-pilot seats. The girls are excited about the exchange student's arrival."

" Is it today?" Bandit asks confused

Chilli just nods as she looks at her husband "It was yesterday… Don't you remember what Fozzie and Mel said?"

"Oh yeah, I remember now," Bandit says, still looking at the road. "Where was he from again?

"France" Bingo enters the conversation,"Dusty told me he was coming from France."

"Oh, wonderful," Bandit says while gripping the steering wheel in excitement."I'll finally be able to talk to someone in French,"

"Dad…" Bluey says with half-closed eyes,"I know you're my dear father, but you're not that good at speaking French"

"That's why…" Chilli intervenes with an index finger up ."we can benefit from an exchange student the same way they benefit from us

"Also…" Bandit starts talking."Can you count to 10 in French Bluey?"

"Un, Deux, trois…"As she counted in French, Bluey also started counting on her fingers so she wouldn't get lost: "Quatre, Cinq, Six, Sept, Huit, Neuf, Dix"

When Bluey finished, Chilli turned her head to Bandit and said, "She improved her pronunciation."

Bluey listened to Chilli and proudly nodded, but Bandit wasn't done yet.

"Ok, you know something…"Bandit shrugged "…But have you ever given a speech in French in front of a thousand spectators?"

"Ah." Bluey stood frozen with her index finger up, trying to think what to say, but nothing came to mind. "You win this time, Dad."

Bandit laughed lightly as Bluey returned to her seat. When Bluey was already comfortable in her position, She looked at Bingo, who had a smile on her face.

When Bluey and Bingo made eye contact, Bingo put both of her thumbs up and then moved them from right to left. Then, she placed her index finger next to her right eye and lowered it across her cheek to the right side of her mouth.

Bluey sees all this and just rolls her eyes in annoyance. She takes her phone, writes a word, and shows it to Bingo.

"SHOW OFF"

Seeing her sister's message, Bingo smiled at Bluey before returning to what she was doing on her phone.

With the message sent, Bluey leaves her phone beside her and looks out the vehicle window.

"Maybe Mom is right," Bluey thinks. "Maybe I can learn something from him."

*Camping area on the outskirts of Brisbane*

Bluey's family finally arrives at the usual camping area, Bandit parks next to his brother Radley's truck. However, they are greeted by two Heelers, a 14-year-old white one and a 13-year-old purple one.

"Did you forget the first rule of the millionaire?" The white Heel greets Bandit, Chilli, Bingo, and Bluey as they exit the car. Bandit and Chilli then separate from the teenagers to greet the adults.

"The millionaire always gets up early. We already know Muffin," Bingo says, approaching Muffin to hug her. She says in the middle of the hug, "I literally had to get Bluey out of bed."

"And I almost had the idea of throwing a trophy in your face, Bingo," Bluey joked as she approached to hug Socks and whisper, "How are you, Socks?

"Good…for now", Socks says as she breaks the hug with Bluey.

"Why?" Bluey asks

"We had to deal with Rossi almost all morning, Bluey," Muffin says. "He wouldn't stop bothering us.

"Yes, he is very loud," Socks comments.

Showing the 15 years of experience that the healers had as sisters. Bluey and Bingo looked at each other with narrowed eyes, then looked at Muffin and Socks.

"We've been there," Bluey and Bingo say simultaneously.

Muffin and Socks bounce their wide-open gazes between Bluey and Bingo in confusion before Muffin says, "Hey, we weren't that bad…right, Socks?"

"Ahhh…" Socks is surprised but manages to humor Muffin: "No, we weren't. I was an angel when I was a puppy.

Socks put on her cute puppy face as she spoke. But Bluey and Bingo, still with narrowed eyes, began to shake their heads in disappointment. Slowly, Bluey finally changed her expression and asked, "Where's Rossi?"

"Ehh, he went with Aunt Frisky to…" Muffin answers, looking at the trees that surrounded her and then pointing in a direction " ...To that direction

Bluey looks where Muffin is pointing, and her eyebrows jump in surprise when she understands where her Aunt and Cousin could be. "Oh, Ok, I will say hello to them first. Bing,o if anyone asks about me, just tell them I'll be at the pink tree"

Bluey starts walking towards where Muffin said the two canines would be, but Bandit sees her along with Stripes and Radley and yells, "Bluey, are you going to say hello to the rest of the family?"

Bluey turns towards him but continues walking with her back." Yes, I will later. First, I will say hi to Aunt Frisky, Rossi, and the pink tree. Bluey turns around again and starts walking faster toward the creek.

Bandit just sighed and lowered his head as he watched Bluey walk away from the camp with Stripes and Radley by her side. Bingo approached his father and said "Leave her alone; she always has to go to the pink tree every time we go camping."

Thanks to Bingo's words, Bandit raises his head again and shrugs his shoulders quickly before greeting his nieces.

Even if the distance to the creek was short, Bluey could feel how her worries and responsibility faded away little by little with each step she took on the grass, as if that forest were her second home, a place where she could feel peace.

Bluey finally reaches the creek and stands still to admire the size of the pink tree." Wow… It's grown more since the last time I was here," Bluey thinks.

But Muffin was right; she could see two dogs admiring the pink tree: a light orange English cocker spaniel female and an orange and light blue Heeler male. It was her godmother and aunt Frisky, along with her son Rossi. The latter was nine years old and had very long orange hair for his age. He had his mother's ears, but the rest of his face and body had the shape and orange tones of his father, Radley. The big surprise for Rossi was his light blue tail.

Having recognized the two dogs, Bluey goes down to the stream and approaches the tree- Hello Aunt Frisky, hello Rossi- greets Bluey while waving one of her paws.

"Bluey!" Rossi shouts with his tail wagging quickly as he runs towards Bluey

When Rossi was close enough, Bluey picked him up and spun around with him a few times, just like her old friend Mia did with her. After the spins, Bluey puts Rossi down and kneels before him.

"It's obvious that Frisky is your mother. Look at you," Bluey says as she shakes Rossi's hair with her hand. "I wish I had hair like yours."

"Nah, sometimes I prefer to have short hair like yours," Rossi says as he adjusts his hair and points to the lock of hair Bluey has on her forehead.

"When we get back, we can cut your hair off?" Frisky challenges as she approaches from behind Rossi.

"No thanks, I sometimes said, not all the time," Rossi says as he runs his hand through his hair.

"Whatever, champ" Frisky gives up and rolls her eyes as she puts her arm on Rossi's shoulders.

With Frisky and Rossi dealt with. Bluey stands up and strolls towards the pink tree. Bluey places her hand on the tree's bark when she is already next to the tree.

"Nice tree, isn't it? " Bluey asks as she slowly runs her hand over the bark.

"Yes, it is very pretty," Rossi answers enthusiastically behind her.

"This tree brings back a lot of memories from when I was six years old," Bluey commented, turning to talk to Rossi.

"Really?"

"Yes… it reminds me of all the games and adventures I played with my family when I was a little girl… and it even reminds me of the day your mother met your father," Bluey says

"Really?" Rossi says in amazement

"Yes, your parents are the best babysitters I ever have," Bluey says, looking at Frisk, who was wagging his tail slightly and smiling.

"But why does a pink tree bring back so many memories for you?" Rossi asks.

"Because a very special friend planted it here," Bluey answers, turning her attention to Rossi.

"Wow… and who is this special friend," Rossi asks again.

"Oh…" Bluey didn't expect that question, but she managed to recover and talk about the dark blue Labrador: "...it was someone I met when I was 6; in addition to the tree, we built a house of sticks, and we managed to hunt a wild pig… Although that wild pig was my dad"

Bluey and Frisky laugh together, but Rossi is not done with the questions yet.

"And do you know where it is?"

"Oh…" Now that question knocked out Bluey, who moved her eyes from side to side in a desperate attempt to say something "...ahh…I don't…I don't know."

Frisky's eyes widened when she noticed Bluey's sudden change, and she stopped the conversation." Come on, Rossi. It's time to return to the caravan."

An unnoticed Rossi only pays attention to his mother, "Ok, Mama."

Frisky puts his arm on Rossi's shoulder, and they turn to return to the family camp" Are you coming Bluey?" Frisky asks, turning her head towards Bluey.

"Yes, I just need a moment, Ok," Bluey says

"Ok." Frisky looks ahead and starts walking with Oscar.

Bluey watches her Aunt and Cousin leave and then turns her attention to the pink tree. Once again, she runs her hand slowly over the bark.

"Rossi is right… where'd you go, Jean-Luc?" Bluey though, giving one last pass to the tree bark before walking backward slowly and returning to camp.

The day and Mother Nature continued their course while the Heeler family enjoyed the warm Australian summer day. Bandit and Radley were supervising Stripes to make sure the grill didn't catch fire or, worse, that he served well-done meat. Sitting by the campfire were Chilli, Trixie and Frisky who were having conversations about series, and in the nearby trees were the teenagers Muffin, Socks, and Rossi, who were listening to an improvised lesson on forest insects from Bingo

And paying absolutely no attention to the conversation was Bluey in her own chair. She only looked at the mother, who had to give her opinion on an episode or theory she had. Being the only Heeler on the border of adulthood and adolescence had its price.

Amidst the opinions, complaints and theories, Bluey looked towards the tree line where the stream and the pink tree were. But she also started to think about the dark blue Labrador who planted it.

11 years. Eleven years have passed since Bluey met Jean-Luc, eleven years since Jean-Luc planted that tree that invaded Bluey's memory every so often. She may have gone on more adventures with their family and friends, seen her sister and her cousins grow up over time, cried and enjoyed the five years of high school with her friends, but at the end of the day, she grew up these 11 years.

-Wait...I grew up...-Bluey thought with her eyes wide open as if she had discovered something-...So HE grew up too

Every time Bluey thinks about Jean-Luc, she imagines him like the drawing she made when she was young. Sometimes, she succeeds in imagining him when he is 17 years old, but she never thinks about what he would really look like, and that makes her mind run in circles.

Bluey's mind raced until she came up with an idea.

"I need a new drawing of Jean-Luc, "Bluey thought.

"Mom, I'm going to be in the caravan," Bluey says, standing up from the chair and walking towards the caravan.

Her mother only responds with a simple "Ok" before returning to the conversation with Trixie and Frisky.

Bluey enters the caravan and looks for her headphones, phone, her personal blue diary, and a blue pencil because she doesn't have a colored pencil. With the objects already found, Bluey lies down in the long leather chair in the caravan, and like a good, carefree teenager, she places her legs on the table to be more comfortable. Once in position, Bluey plugs the red headphones into her phone and finds a song to draw.

With the journal on her lap, a pencil in hand,d and the headphones ready, Bluey presses play on the phone and starts to draw the dark blue Labrador.

Bluey hears the first notes of a piano at the same time as she places the first lines that will form the body of the Labrador, but only 10 seconds of the piano solo pass before the song's intro, and since Bluey is inspired, she decides to sing the intro at the same time as the singer.

"Where'd you go?"

"I miss you so."

"Seem like its been forever."

"That you've been gone"

The song continued its course with the piano, drums, and rap verses while Bluey continued to draw Jean-Luc's outline. There were times when Bluey would bob her head slightly to the beat of the soon, but when the song ended, Bluey already had a picture of a Labrador in her journal, which she only knows is Jean-Luc.

Bluey continued to draw the details when she felt a slight tremor in the caravan. Bluey takes off her headphones and looks away from her journal to recognize who caused that tremor.

It was her sister Bingo who was looking at her over the seat of the table, arms on the back of the chair. "Oh, how elegant."

"I'm not in the mood, Bingo." Bluey silences her sister and returns her gaze to the drawing. "And the cousins?"

"With the family," Bingo says as she takes her arms off the back of the table. She sat down like her sister, but instead of placing her legs on the table, Bingo just placed her legs along the seat. Already comfortable, she looks at her sister to ask," What are you doing, Bluey?"

"Drawing," Bluey says, still working on her drawing.

"Really?" Bingo says incredulously. "It's been years since you drew."

"I'm inspired, okay?" Bluey defends herself

"Whatever you say," Bingo said before looking towards the roof of the caravan."Hey, did you see what they're talking about in the main group?

"No why? " Bluey says she's still working on the drawing, but then she starts to think about why Bingo asked that and turns her head towards her sister. "Are they asking about me?

"No…" Bingo says before looking at Bluey again,"...Indy and Rusty are still the parents of the group, Winston is still annoying a lot alongside the Terriers, Honey is still as active as a sloth and Judo still wants to choke someone"

"Why I'm not surprised," Bluey says before asking, "But besides that, what are they saying? I don't have a very good signal on my phone.

"A lot of things. The girls want to meet the new guy, but Mackenzie says not today because he's going to be busy showing him around town and on a different note. Lucky says you can help us because you know French" Bingo says

Bluey snorts and says, "I appreciate Lucky's optimism but I'm not that good at speaking French."

"Really?... You're being hard on yourself," Bingo says in an attempt to give Bluey some confidence.

"No, really, Bingo!" Bluey protests as she looks at Bingo with her eyes wide open" I know how to speak a little, but I can't speak French in front of a crowd like Papa did

"Maybe you can practice French with the new guy," Bingo suggests

"I know; I think I will when I meet him," Bluey says, fixing her gaze on the drawing again.

Bluey focuses again on the details of Jean-Luc's face until doubt invades her mind.

"Bingo has been very close to Lila these past few months. She doesn't usually invite her to the movies. Especially if it's a movie as bad as the one we saw yesterday" Bluey thought and looked at Bingo, who had her eyes closed.

"Bingo," Bluey calls her sister.

"Yes?" Bingo answers, still with his eyes closed, trying to rest a little

"Why did you invite Lila to watch a movie with us?" Bluey asked making Bingo open her eyes

"Well…" Bluey noticed that Bingo was rolling her eyes all around and put her hand behind her shoulder "Lila is a big fan of "Guardians of the Planet," you didn't know that before"

"Really? "Bluey says

"Yes!... She had been waiting for the third installment for a long time," Bingo explained.

"How sad for her then…that the movie is so bad," Bluey said

"No, She actually liked it. We were talking all night about that movie; in fact, she told me she had this idea for a fanfic about Grace and Maestro about…" Bingo started talking like a parrot while moving her hands, a smile appeared on her mouth, and she started to wag her tail. Something that Bluey manages to hear

Bluey, seeing this, remembered what Bingo usually said about Lila." "When Lila is happy, I am happy too," she said in her mind.

-...She, is, amazing," Bingo finishes talking with happiness while placing her two hands behind her head. She closes her eyes again while continuing to wag her tail

Bluey returns to the drawing and appreciates the progress she has made so far. The outline of Jean-Luc's body was ready and she managed to place some details like his eyes and nose. Bluey still needs to finish the rest of Jean-Luc's face, but she runs out of inspiration, and her legs start to hurt from the time they spend on the little table.

"How about I go back to the tree to rest?" Bluey thought. She then got up from the long chair and placed her journal on the little table. As she did so, Bluey noticed a book with the cover of a black dog and a bone on the same table where she placed her journal.

"What is this? " Bluey grabs the book and opens the first page. She notices a text that says, "DO NOT TOUCH, PROPERTY OF MUFFIN CUPCAKE HEELER."

After reading, analyzing, and considering the risks of taking other people's property, Bluey thinks, "Ehh, I guess Muffin won't mind."

Bluey places the book on her chest with both arms crossed as she heads towards the caravan's exit, but when she sees her sister resting along the seat, She thinks, "I've heard enough."

Once outside the caravan, Bluey was about to go to the pink tree, but a loud conversation caught her attention. It was Socks and Muffin arguing with Rossi, but the volume was so loud that it managed to catch the attention of the adults.

"You can't take other people's things, Rossi!" Socks says with his sister at his side

"Why not?" Rossi asked while holding a bottle of shampoo

"Because that's mine, idiot!" Muffin shouted while pointing aggressively at Rossi

"Muffin language!" Trixie shouted while watching the situation with Chilli and Frisky from the campfire area

"I think I'm going to have to intervene," Frisky whispers to Chill, preparing to stand up.

"No, leave them; Let's see how this flows," Chili advises Frisky and sits her back down.

"But you have to share with your cousins, right? Especially a shampoo as good as this one," Rossi says, showing the shampoo he took from her.

"Why don't you ask your mother to buy you one?" Muffin exclaims angrily while waving her hands at her head

"Because we already have one here," Oscar says, showing the shampoo again. This makes Socks grunt and roll her eyes.

Muffin puts her hands on her head, thinks for a few seconds, and says, "And why do you need a shampoo for girls?" YOU ARE A BOY!"

"Because I am very famous in my school, and I need to look good," Rossi explains while running a hand through his hair.

"Pfff, You don't look good with long hair, Rossi." Socks shakes her head and crosses her arms.

"Tell that to my five girlfriends at school, "Single Sock."

That sentence from Rossi caused several things at the camp. The mothers Trixie Frisky and Chilli, were perplexed with their mouths open; Bandit stood paralyzed with his eyes open and Beer in hand, Stripes moved his head to the side to spit out the beer, and Radley turned his back to the group to shake his fist and proudly whisper" That's my boy"

Socks turns her back to Rossi, places her hand over her eyes, and begins to wander while whispering to herself, "I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore…"

Muffin notices her and manages to grab her by the shoulders. The Heeler turns to a proud Rossi of what he has done and says, "Look what you did, animal."

Leading her sister by the shoulders, Muffin leads her to the trailer. In the process, she runs into Blue, who has a hand over her mouth, holding back her laughter, but Muffin completely ignores her and enters the trailer with her sister.

Bluey manages to hold back her laughter and shouts, "If you need me, I'll be at the pink tree" and walks towards the stream.

When Bluey is already outside the camp, Muffin suddenly leaves the trailer, looks to both sides and sees her cousin on the way to the stream. Muffin takes a few steps toward Bluey and shouts, "Bluey, that book is mine!

Already down in the stream, Bluey manages to hear her and turns half her body to answer.

"I know it's yours, Muffin. I just borrowed it," says Blue, rolling her eyes. She then goes to the tree and sits with her legs crossed.

Already comfortable in the tree's trunk, She prepares to read Muffin's book.

Without responsibilities, without worries

But she doesn't notice the presence of someone very special on the other side of the small stream.

"Hello Bluey"

Easter eggs and references…they are self-explanatory, except for 2. In the car scene Bingo said with his hands to Bluey "NICE,TRY"...Spoilers?

And the song that Bluey hums is Where'd You Go by Fort Minor. That song helped a lot in writing the caravan scene.
