looked...unhappy?

     "Waylon, Linette." Ace said in a stern voice.  The two looked at each other, puzzled.  What had they done that was wrong? 

     "I'm proud of you two."  He smiled.  They two sighed, relieved.  The other three chuckled.

     "Just..Be a little more careful."  He winked at Linette, who rolled her eyes playfully.

     "How long are ya gonna be out, crippled?" Walon teased, giving her the name 'crippled'. 

     She glared up at him, then chuckled to herself.  "Eh, only a few weeks, Scarlette thinks its just a bad sprain, but she's taken me to the vet tomorrow just to be safe."

    "Good."  Victor said. 

     The car stopped, the dogs were let out, and they all walked to their cars, and went home.

-----

     The next day, the hole team was celebraiting at John's house.  Nick, John, Joey, Sofi, and even Edward was their.  While ouside, Ace, Waylon, Daisy, Vic, and Rummy were all outside.  There was a knock at the front door, loud, happy voices came from inside, the five dogs looked at the door, and smiled at the limping white figure that came out.

     "There she is!"  Waylon teased, getting up to greet her.

     "How was the vet, Crip?" He laughed, refuring to her as 'crippled' again.

     "Shut up."  She said, and nuged him out of her way.

     "Come and join the fun."  Rummy barked.  She looked up, they were all lying down, "Ppssshh, yeah, real fun.  What is this, a tea party?"  She laughed, the team laughed as well.

     "So Rummy.  I heard you finished training."  Ace said.

     "Yup! Sure did.  May be this means I can come with you guys next time! Huuh, huuh?"  He suggested.

     The others exchanged glances and "hmms" then looked at the no worried Rummy.  "I don't see why not." Ace smiled.

    Rummy jumped in the air.  "WOOHOOO! YES! YEAH! WOOOOO!!!" He howled with joy, running and jumping all around the yard.  The brood of resting dogs laughed.

     "Now I just want for it to be tomarrow! Or the next day! Or-W-What ever day my first mission is!"

     "Now, settle down, kid."  Vic chuckled.

     Ace just smiled, "Don't worry Rummy."  He said, getting the rookie's attention.  Rummy couldn't help but run over sit next to Ace, just to see what else he might say. 

      "Hmhm, You will be a her before you know it!"
