Silent Night of the Padding Paws (Stray Dogs, Twisted and Revived)

Cade and Bruno soon were there, and both stared at Elk. However, Bruno's stare was from terror, while Cade's stare was from joy and surprise. "Elk! It's so good to see you again!", Cade said, smiling. He and Elk shared a freindly hug. Elk then turned to face Bruno. "Uh... hi, Elk......", BRuno said, nervous.

"Huh, something is telling me that something is going on between the two." Rukushi whispered.
"Just wait you, ol man, you'll see." Ransom said standing beside the Ninja dog leader.

Elk embraced BRuno tightly. "Uh.... Elk? You can let go now.", BRuno said nervously. Elk, however, did not let go. "I mean it Elk.......", BRuno said. Elk continued to hold BRuno. "I'm serious, Elk, let go!", BRuno said.

The twin Mudi's tilted their heads to the side confused and John placed a paw on his snout shaking his head side to side, however Nova smiled sheepishly watching.

"Ok, Elk, stop.", BRuno said, pushing Elk away.

"I find this ridiculos." Smith hissed under his breath.
"Go away then." John chuckled and Rukushi smiled. The old dog got up and walked off as the three other leaders stayed along with the twins.
"We just find this weird, Nova-sama what is going on?" Ransom said speaking for herself and her sister.
"Or er...um...just go into the base and check on Alex." she barked. The two shrugged and ran off.
"Bruno what's going on betwen you and Elk if you don't mind me asking." Nova said turning to the two.

BRuno sighed slightly. "Something may or may not have happened between us 5 years ago..."

"Wait, I'm still confused what are you about Bruno?" John asked glancing at the two with his bright blue eyes. Rukushi nodded as well, in agreement with his old friend.

BRuno sighed and said something under his breath. It was obvious that he was embarassed.

"Speak up solider!" Rukushi barked getting up on all fours.

Cade laughed. "I think he's trying t osay that he and Elk had-", he began. Bruno shot a death glare in Cade's direction. "How in hell did you even find out?", he said. "Elk told me.", Cade said, smiling.

"Is this only meant to be known by men?" Nova asked hanging her head low. John and Rukushi began to let out a howl of laughter leaning against each other.

BRuno sighed. "You know what? I'm going to go away now."

Nova raised her head and barked, "Where to?" She shooed the laughing hyenas away from them as their laughter disappeared into the distance and their follows stared at them dumbfounded.

"Not here."

"Did the two knuckleheads hurt your feelings? I'm sure they didn't mean for it causing you to go somewhere, but if you need some alone time to starighten things, I can't argue with that my friend." she spoke bowing her head.

Bruno sighed and walked away. Cade smiled. "Anyway, like I was saying, Bruno and Elk had-", he began again. '"Tell them, and I'll strangle you in your sleep.", Bruno said.

She watched Bruno leave and then Nova turned to Cade, "We shall not speak of this anymore, I'll make sure to have the dogs keeping an ear out."

Cade smiled. "Nah, he can't her anymore. Anyway, like I was saying, Bruno and Elk had...", Cade said, whispering the final word in Nova's ear.

Her blue eyes widen and she jumped snapping at Cade nearly getting his nose, "I told you not to speak of it anymore! But now since it's too late, I'm going to warn you, if I hear that spreading among the army, I'll consult with the leaders of where we shall put you during our war."

Cade smiled. "You requested that I tell you, and I told you. However, I would advise against telling Bruno I told you, and I would also advise against ejecting me from the Enuya, because if I leave, all of my soldiers leave as well, and I think you may find that we can make a very useful allie."

Before Nova talked back a large Cao de Castro Laboreir, came running in and he interuppted before she spoke, "Nova, don't talk back, please. For the sake of the town." he panted. Sniper came running in and bit the black dog from the neck slamming him to the ground, "I told you not to interuptt leaders when they talk!" he snarled digging his fangs in deeper.
"I beg you mercy my dear friend." he pleaded.
"Sniper let go, as for you your name?" Nova said. The Doberman stepped back and the black dog sat down on his haunches with his head lowered, "My name is Negro." (Means Black in spanish).
"Apologize Sniper." she snarled turning to the Doberman. He huffed than turned to Negro, "I'm sorry to attack you to harshly."
"Apology accepted." he nodded. Sniper ran off and Nova turned her attetion to him, "Negro, I know this might be odd, but I want to thank you for interuppting me."
"Not a problem madam." he laughed.

CAde smield slightly.

"Negro, right?" she asked.
"Yes I am."
"Huh, interesting name? Where'd you got it?"
"My master, I orignated from Cancun, the beaches there were lovely, and since my kind are good swimmers we were always hired to work with the lifeguards. Pretty fun to be in the beach all day watching the humans relax."
