Ok enough of my blabbering, let's start the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Busta-my life.

"Where are those guys? They've been gone for more than 10 minutes now!"
shouted the man with the funny thing on his head [author's note: Busta
saw a headphone], "And who let the dog in!"

"Calm down Rick, Busta won't bite you.much." Said Master Chris as he
flops back to the sofa beside me, while I jump up to his lap. He took
me in his arms and I tried hard not to spit too much on it.

We are now in this room with lots of long black thing, which they call,
wire. The guys are here to sing in a funny room with a funny thing over
their head. Because they have not checked into their rooms yet, I
tacked along with them to this room where they will be singing.

Currently, Joey is on the phone with this girl human which he had
'caught' last night, while Justin is on the net reading em something.
'DB has brains I'm impress!' Master Chris is with me. :) And the
lovebirds are missing, not normal but Albino one has to go off tomorrow
so the first thing JC did was to steal him away.

"In fact if you're really nice to him, he'll go find the guys for ya'"
said Master Chris to my surprise.

"I would?" I stare at him incredulously. 'I didn't even know I will or
I wouldn't. Wow! Master Chris is the smartest. :b'

"You mean that little dumb thing can find Lance and JC for me?" he ask
in a suspicious manner.

And before I could reply, DB replied for me and boy was I surprise.

"He's not a little dumb thing. He has a name, called Busta. Threat him
nicely or Chris will get you, if not we will." Said DB not looking up
from his screen as he continues to frown at it. From yesterday's
peaking I know that he's reading the latest segment of some story with
funny titles that tells you not to say anything, and from his frown, he
doesn't like the way it's going, something to do with the way the
author writes him like a totally childish person. Which I agree with
the author, but that's beside the point now. Like I had said, I was
surprise and so were Master Chris and Joey who looked at him like he
was an alien or something.

"Ok who gave him drugs!" demanded Master Chris dramatically.

"Haha! Very funny Chris!" said DB as he continues to ignore Master
Chris and soon began tapping his fingers on the keyboard. [AN: typing]

"Hey what cha' typing just?" asked red-one as he lean over to look. And
when DB ignored him, he snatch the black box thing [AN: Notebook] away
from Justin.

'Here we go again!' I rolled my eyes and quickly sat away from Master
Chris because I know that he would be standing up soon. I sat on the
floor and looked knowingly into the glint in Master Chris's eyes.

"HEY GIVE IT BACK TO ME!" shouted DB and that began their famous
childish fight. DB initially looked angry, but as expected, he will
start laughing and it really becomes some sort of a game. In this case,
DB's the monkey. And as expected, Master Chris jumped up and joined in.

"Come on guys help me around here, we need to get the recordings down
by today." The guy called Rick started begging.

"Like Chris said, don't ask us, ask Busta!" said Joey as he threw the
thing up in the air and DB [at last] got it, because he was the
tallest.

"Yeah Rick, go ask Busta." He said as he flopped back to the couch and
continued like before. You see, they play this game and then stops when
they gets tired, and everything gets back to its original position.

I look at this Rick guy in a cocky manner, for it's true, I could find
them if I want to. Because I have a good nose, humans don't have good
nose. But on the other hand, I don't like the vibes I'm getting from
this Rick guy, I think he's a bit like DB. So I had decided that no
matter how he begged, I'd ignore him. With that I sat on the floor with
my paws cross to show that I don't like him, but apparently humans
cannot understand dog's body language either.

"Ok Busta, please go get JC and Lance for me." he begged with a funny
eyes that reminded me of the bitch that I last impregnate in.

"No," I guess that because it sounded like a bark, he doesn't really
understand me. [Shrug] I didn't care and started to take an interest in
my paws.

"Ask nicely, bribe him." suggest Joey.

"em.ok, if you get them for me, I'll give ya' a doggie treat." He
looked at me hopefully.

This time I kept quiet and flop onto Master Chris's lap and hide myself
in one of his hand, hopefully if I don't see him, he will not see me
either. [AN: ostrich syndrome] And Master Chris and the Joey laughed at
this action which makes me wonder if it was a good idea after all.

"I give up." Said Rick.

'I don't care!' I thought to myself as I settle comfortably under
Master Chris's large hands. But my wish to procrastinate did not come
true as Master Chris place me on the floor and then look seriously to
me, "Go find Lance and JC, we need them back here."

"Ok." I barked in attention and off I go, leaving behind a room full of
laughter.

'This is boring,' I thought to myself as I got behind a big red thing
with lots of dust on it [AN: curtain] and followed my nose through a
path between those big thing you hang clothes in.  "I'm a genius, and
geniuses find a lot of things boring, like looking for missing couples,
this is easy and I flip and TADA!' "Hey guys they need you back with
them." I barked for notice.

"Hey Busta, could you do us a favor and guard for a while I really need
to do this." said JC.

"Oh god." Lance cried out.

"Ok, I'll be outside." And I trotted out leaving behind sounds of
moaning.

'Ok now what?' I ask myself as I spread myself on the floor with my
legs all spread to the side. 'BORED!' I sulked, then a small smile
creep up my face as I thought of that. Because that's the first thing I
heard when Master Chris came into the pet shop to get me. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(the past)

"Bored?" a voice, shouted as he enters the pet-shop. "I'm not getting a
pet because I'm bored. I'm getting it for companionship." Said the
voice. He was a stern looking guy with plaited colored hair, and he was
talking to a phone, "look I'm already in the pet shop and I am getting
a dog no matter what you say!" with that he slam the phone to half and
place it back in his pocket.

"Good evening sir, how can I help you." Ask the person behind the
counter.

"Em, yeah hi. I saw the Sale of Puppies outside, and I was wondering
how much are they going for?"

The storeowner replied, "Anywhere from $30 to $50."

"Ok, can I take a look at them?"

The guy smiled and then whistled, out of the kennel came a dozen of
tiny fur balls that greeted Chris.

"Awww they're so cute." He said as he bends to pick them up, then from
the corner of his eyes, he noticed another kennel beside the one that
contains these puppies. It was smaller and dark, and there was a pair
of eyes in that dark-cage that is staring back at him. Immediately he
asked, "What's wrong with that little dog?"

"That one? He's a sad case," said the owner as he bends to look into
the dark kennel. "Nobody wanted him, he's too aggressive. The first
owner had a child that was abusive to him, after a week of purchase,
the owner threw him back at me because he bite the child. I looked at
him and found burn marks so that's how I know he was abused."

Chris bends near the cage and tried to make out the dog that's hidden
inside. "What about the others?" he asked as he placed his hand near my
cage door.

That was the first time I really smelt him, I noticed him when he
enters the store because of his funny hair and clothing. I stared at
him because of the hypocritical look he gave to my brothers. His looks
were the same as my first owner. Until they decided that I needed to be
dried under the hot sun for hours or the time they wanted to dry me up
and place me in the freezer. Heck I was surprise that I'm still alive.
Having those thoughts I shifted back into darkness, but still focusing
on him and his smell that discomfort me.

"The second one was a priest. He claims that the dog broke one of the
statues and refuses to take care of him. Well, at least he tried." The
owner sigh in defeat.

'Rev. Phelps' I still remember his name, he was so obsess with his
propaganda of saving the world that he constantly read the bible to me.
He'll not let me sleep or eat until he finishes what he wanted to
propagate. I think I was bought so that he could practice his speech. I
broke the statue because I didn't eat that day and had passed out when
he sat me on his table, so there goes his statue of Mary.

"The next few ones was a flop. It was all my fault, I should have
recognized that he's not meant to be adopted because of his condition."

"What condition? Is he sick?" ask Chris in concern as he continued to
peek in the cage. The puppy that he was eyeing seems to be shifting
deeper and deeper into the corner of the cage.

The voice. It touched me enough to want to look at this human that had
asked about me. But I held back for I fear the pain, thus I moved back
instead of front but continued to stare at him.

"No he's not sick, just aggressive and suicidal. He tends to scratch
himself if left alone in the house, he needs lots of attention or he'll
break things. [Sigh] I'm sure he's not a bad puppy but I guess the
damage is done and he's not really wanted now."

I could here the excitement in Chris's tone as he says, "This is the
little puppy that I want to buy." And I was surprise and suspicious.

"What? No I can let you have him, he's not healthy, in fact he'll be."
I saw the owner make a gesture of hand slicing across his throat. "The
first thing tomorrow morning."

"Wait, you can't do that. I want him. There must be some way we can
avoid this." said Chris as he tried to argue with the owner.

"But he's already more than a month's old, it will be difficult to tame
his aggression." Argued the owner.

"Difficult but possible right?" said Chris

"Yes possible and it'll cost you lots of cash to send him to an animal
specialist." The owner tried to explain.

"Money is not an issue here, I really want this puppy." Said Chris with
determination.

"[sigh] If you must have it, I'll just give him to you." Said the
owner.

Chris got quiet upset. He looked straight into the owner's eyes and
said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That little puppy is worth
every bit as much as all the other dogs. I'll pay $50 for it."

The owner countered, " You really don't want to pay for him, you'll
need all the money you can get to properly train him. And he is never
going to be able to last long with you like other puppies because he is
too hostile and needy, too lonely."

To this Chris smiled to the owner and replied, "Well, I'm alone too.
And I have been dumped numerous times in relationships so the little
pup will need someone who understands his loneliness and his fear."

Through out the whole conversation, I was surprise by this person's
willingness to purchase me. Although I had doubts that this person is
sane, I was somehow touched by his willingness to adopt me and to PAY
for me. The last words convinced me that this would be my owner for
life and this is my last chance at life. I gathered up my courage and
stood up slowly on my feet and walk towards the cage door.

"Halo." I barked and was greeted by the most beautiful and sincere
smile in the world. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smile at the last scene that flashed across my mind and suddenly I
miss Master Chris. I got up from the floor and stretch myself out
before heading back under the curtain but got out before I enter
further because I heard the "I'm-out-of-breath" noise that the two
couples are making. Thinking that it would still be some time before
they are done, I decided to get back to Master Chris. With that I move
out of that room and after lots of turning and sniffing in the air, I
found Master Chris.

"Hey Busta, did you found them?" ask Master Chris as he wrapped me up
protectively in his arms.

"Halo master, I did found them but they were kinda busy." I barked as I
settled myself in his arms.

"I knew that the dog was useless! I'll go look for them myself." With
that, the Rick guy storm out of the room.

The guys were stun at this outburst, while I was corky, for I know that
he would not be able to find them.

"Do you think he'll find them?" ask Joey with a worried tone.

"Impossible!" I barked.

"Impossible." Master Chris said. And I conclude that great minds do
think alike. :b

"Yeah it's not possible, Lance and JC's too cautious to be copulating
in public." Said DB.

'And he uses his brains.' I stared at Justin in surprise, ever since
that little talk with Master Chris he seems to have slept better. Well,
now I conclude that sleeping and ability to use brains has a very
important link. I.e. more sleep, much smarter.

"Yeah I guess JC had to show Lance a little love, right Busta? That's
why you're back huh?" said Master Chris as he nuzzled my head with his
chin.

"Em actually master, it's the carrot's turn to get screwed by the
em.cucumber." I tried to explain in a nice term, just in case he could
understand.

Master Chris laughed at my barking, "well that sounds like a yes to
Me." and I sigh, 'nope he still doesn't understand what I'm trying to
say'.
