Puchiko: ::Wakes up:: Huh? Oh, Welcome to chapter four of The Happening Dog!

Sherrie: And it took you HOW many months to write this up?!

Puchiko: But, but, the TV! It calls to me!

Sherrie: ::mumble:: idiot

Puchiko: What did you say?! ::attacks::

Random Person: Ugh… lets just get onto the story ok?!

Sherrie quickly tried to turn her body to the direction of the edge of the cliff. She twisted her foot in the process, but she managed to grab on to the rough edge of the cliff “H-Help!!” She blurted out softly, shaking with fear.

Catcher turned around with a jolt and pulled Sherrie up by the arms. Catcher and Sherrie both fell back on a nearby grassy area, exhausted from the almost fatal accident. Catcher held her arms a few minutes more, and then let them drop.

“Are you all right?” Catcher looked at her to see if she was bleeding.

Sherrie started to stand up “I guess s- AH!” She collapsed to the ground once more “Oww… my foot…!!” She caressed her injury and closed her eyes ‘I just want to go home and everything be normal again…’ She thought as she noticed Catcher in deep thought.

“You’re going to fry your brain like that” Sherrie joked trying to crack a smile.

Catcher continued to think and after what seemed like an hour to Sherrie, Catcher finally jumped up with an idea.

“I’ll Carry you, okay?” Catcher said, already crouching down and holding out his hands for Sherrie to climb on. Sherrie crawled over a few steps, but then paused. She had hardly known him for a day and yet he was treating her as if they were best friends. The whole situation baffled her, but before she could think anymore Catcher gently started to lift her up and directed his body north.

“Where are we going?!” Sherrie said, starting to panic. Thoughts of horror ran though her mind ‘Oh my gosh, don’t tell me he’s an alien here to abduct me!! Crap! Now I’m defenseless! If only I brought my pepper spray…’

“Just wanted to take a quick stop to my favorite place on Earth” He smiled at the view ahead of him. The sunset was still lingering on the edge of the lake as the birds raced through the fading orb of sunlight. It was the portrait of freedom, what any animal could wish for. Sherrie looked around her in awe, she wondered why a place that beautiful wasn’t inhabited by people on the edge of the reflected night sky water.

“Where is this…? Wait, scratch that- Where are WE?!” Sherrie said, still paranoid of her alien hypothesis.

Catcher lifted his finger and directed it northeast to where a little light was just barely visible.

“What’s that?” Sherrie asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Your house and this place is what I now call home” Catcher smiled, the park was just a minutes walk away, which was another one of his favorite places, since people would always pass by to pet him when he was in his dog form.

Sherrie stared at the light for awhile and then fell of Catcher’s back in realization “AHH!! THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS TOMORROW!!”

“School?” Catcher cocked his head to the side.

“Yes!! And if I don’t get to my house soon enough then I’ll be totally unprepared!”

Catcher’s eyes brightened up with curiosity and excitement “Can I come? Please!”

Sherrie frowned at the sight of Catcher’s happiness, she knew that there was no way, that in either form, would be allowed in her house and there would be too many questions that would shoot at him at school, but Sherrie knew that a friend could really bring her some joy, especially someone like Catcher.

Sherrie sighed, but then taped her chin with an idea “Unless…”

Chapter 4, end

Puchiko: MUHAH! Another cliffhanger.. Yeah. Don’t worry, it’ll be worth the wait, since a antagonist will show up!

Sherrie: Whaat? An antagonist! You’re so mean to me.

Catcher: *tail droops* Is he/she going to bother me?

Puchiko: Heh heh… I guess time will tell now WON’T it

Random Person: Umm yeah, stay tuned for Chapter 5 of the Happening Dog
