Charlie.

       At this very moment, an extraordinary thing happened. After seeing Charlie fall to this masked lady, Sasha burned with rage, letting her wolf side be unleashed. Her teeth were bared in an aggressive stance, eyes glowing like the full moon. She smashed through the door of the phone booth with deadly force and lunged straight at her foe, knocking the intruder onto the dance floor. As soon as the masked lady regained consciousness, Sasha then assaulted her with a barrage of attacks. It's almost as if all hell broke loose, for she fought with brute force, yet the gracefulness of her attacks made her seem to have full control of herself. The masked lady couldn't keep up with Sasha, so she quickly lost ground. The audience watched in utter fascination as the so-called 'fight to the death' unfolded, waiting to see who would win. Sasha, of course answered it for them as she dealt the final strike, cutting a small slit in each of the intruder's wrists with one stroke of her blade and forcing her opponent to toss her weapon in the air. The masked dog yelped in pain as Sasha caught the weapon in the air and formed an X with the two blades, the middle of the X pressed uncomfortably close against her neck. "You shall dangle fo this, woman! Bess, Itchy!", Sasha called out to them. "Right here, Sasha", the two mutts replied. "Seize her. Bind her paws, but good". "On it", Bess replied as she and Itchy tied up the defeated enemy's front paws.

              Sasha, seeing a thin trail of blood from the corner of her eye, suddenly remembered Charlie and scrambled to his side, dropping the blades. The canine's pretty strong, for he managed to plug up the wound in his chest with a nearby hankerchief before any further loss of blood occurred. Even so, the amount of blood he did lose caused him to lose consciousness; Lucky for him, it was the only effect it had on him.  Any other dog would've died in minutes from this injury. The crowd closed up on the brave dog as Sasha approached him. "Okay, you lot, back up. Give him some air. Back up!", Zero ordered the crowd, who gladly obeyed. "Oh, Charlie", Sasha whispered to him, checking his heart. "Please wake up". No response came from the fallen mutt. Grieved, Sasha and the rest of the gang wept bitterly for the 'loss' of their friend. What she didn't see, however, was that as she cried, the tears trickling from her face dropped onto Charlie's wound, healing it until it was gone. When she saw this, she and everyone else stopped weeping and gasped. Noticing that her husband was still not conscious, she kissed him softly on his lips, breathing into him (some would say she gave him the 'breath of life'). Immediately, Charlie regained consciousness, opening his eyes and coughing. When he saw Sasha on top of him, eyes glistening and wet with tears and smiling for his 'miraculous return from the dead', he smiled back at her as she gave him another tender kiss, the crowd cheering them on with thunderous applause. "No one can keep a good dog down, Sasha", he said, rising up from the ground. "You hear that, everyone? No one can keep a good dog down!" This caused an uproar in agreement from the crowd.

              "I dare you to say that again!", the now captured masked intruder yelled at him. They all turned to her, faces showing disgust at her. "You got some nerve, you mutt! First, you crash the party, you almost killed my husband, and now you say that you can keep a good dog down when you failed to defeat either of us. Surely this will teach you something!", Sasha scoffed at her enemy as she punched her in the face so hard that the mask flew right off her face, smashing into pieces on contact with the ground. 

                    The face that it shielded was now revealed, but the identity of the intruder shocked Sasha over all the others. In fact, it was none other than her younger and wicked sister Kerry, who used to work for Carface, "(gasp), Kerry?", Sasha told her sister. "Who did you expect, sis? Belladonna?", Kerry retorted. "Wait, she's your sister, Sasha?", Charlie asked his wife. "Yes, Charlie. Kerry is my younger sister. She always had a grudge towards me, but how she got it, I don't remember. What I want to know is why she wanted to turned homicidal all of a sudden. Why, Kerry?", Sasha asked. "You already know why, Sasha. I've always hated you. Mom and dad always favored you more, even when we were pups. You practically had everything, while I rotted away in the dust with nothing but myself. I couldn't take it any longer, so I came here and attacked you and your friends because I hoped to achieve revenge for what happened to me. I may have been defeated this time, but this is only the beginning. So long as you're alive, I will never stop!". The mutt then tried to break free from her bonds, but to no avail. "Do I look like I wanted everything for myself?!!", Sasha scolded her, now recalling the time of their puppyhood. Their parents did more for her than they did for Kerry, but Sasha never let that spoil her. She always watched over Kerry, even when they got separated. Seeing Kerry like this made her feel betrayed. "I wept bitterly when I realized that mom and dad neglected you all because of me. I tried many times to cheer you up the best I could since then, from giving you gifts to helping you with sticky situations, but each time you wouldn't have it, even when I told you that I did it out of love. And this is how you repay me? (sigh) Very well. I'm sorry, sis, but you're going to the pound for this. Hopefully you will realize the pain and trouble you have caused to us all there. And no worries, I'll visit you often". She then ordered the watchdogs guarding the back exits of the cafe to transport her to the pound ASAP.

                      After that, everyone continued their activities until the announcer dog came up on the stage 15 minutes later. The hosts and their friends have returned to their seats after agreeing that they will discuss the sudden turn of events after the party. "Okay, ladies. We will now tell you about the entertainment we promised you", Charlie told them."Wonderful! What is it, darling?", Sasha asked them. "We guys have formed a rock band together and we're about to perform the first of many upcoming gigs here on stage!" The girls screamed with excitement as each one hugged her mate and wagged her tail furiously. "Oh, my! This IS a surprise!", Mishka told them, "I'm sure it'll become a smashing success". "You said it, Mish! Break a leg, you guys", Sasha added. "You bet!", Zero said. "Oh, that's our cue to get up there. Okay, fellas, let's roll! See you later, ladies", Itchy yelled to them. "Bye, boys!", the girls yelled back. Finally adjusting his bowtie, the announcer dog exclaimed, "Hello, everyone. The second half of the fun is about to begin!" The crowd let a yell at his words. "Now put your paws together and give a big round of applause for the dogs that will perform for you tonight: Duncan, Zak Slumdog, Zero, Itchy Itchiford, and your host, Charlie! Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to THE CANINES 5!" The audience let out a warcry of an uproar as the dogs and the name of their band were announced and as they came up on stage. "Are you ready to rock, people?!!!", Charlie asked them through the microphone. They yelled at him in agreement. "And I'll tell you one thing, man. I know that not one of you mangy mutts is gonna go home sane tonight!", He said, respectfully. The audience only cried even louder, excited instead of offended. "This is a song called Mr. Carface (an ADGTH version of Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne, with Zak at the drums, Zero at the organ-sounding piano, Duncan at the bass guitar, Itchy at the lead guitar, and Charlie at the vocals)!". Then, the music began. "Let me see your dog-gone cigarette matches!", Charlie yelled, obeyed by the audience. When the intro was finished, Charlie put a paw up to his ear to indicate a yell to the audience. They, in turn, understood and complied. He then started singing his heart out:

Mr. Carface

What went down in your head?

Oh, Mr. Carface

Did you talk to the dead?

Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic

With the thrill of it all

You fooled all the puppies with magic

Yeah, you waited on Belladonna's call

Mr. Charming

Did you think you were pure?

Mr. Alarming

With the Red Cat's support

Uncovering bones that were sacred

Manifest on this earth

(Oh), Conceived in the eye of a secret

Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth

Yeah!

            Then, of course, Itchy followed it up with the guitar solo. As he played, Bess told to the others "That's my Itchy! Look at him go, everyone! Go, Itchy go!" Itchy, noticing
