If you don't treat me the right way
See I can only start seeing you
If you can make my heart feel safe.'Cameron whispered. She opened an eye and smiled. She was glad to see Cop again even though she was in the vets.

'Cam… What went wrong?’ Cop asked as he slipped his snout through the metal bars of the cage and nuzzled Cameron.

‘ I was attacked by… Chester and the team. They said that if they were gonna get us off the team, then they would need to hurt me so they bit into my lungs and then they heard you running towards them and ran away.’ Cameron explained between breaths.

 ‘ We’re not gonna be kicked off the team. Once you’re well again, we’ll quit.’ Cop said as he slipped his snout out the cage and stood up. He slowly walked away as Cameron fell asleep again. He then ran to his parents as they walked towards the beach.

‘ Mom! Dad!’ Cop shouted. Rex and Soul stopped and turned around. Cop stopped and got his breath back. ‘ Cameron was attacked by our team because they want us off.’

‘ Why?’ Soul asked.

‘ They want me off because I’m a wolf dog and they want Cameron off because she’s my girlfriend.’ Cop explained.

‘ They found out?!’ Rex exclaimed.

‘ Yes. I don’t know how, but they did. Once Cameron gets better, we’re gonna quit the team.’ Cop said.

‘ Good. That’s what I did when I was on Clouds team.’ Rex said.

‘ I need to go home. I have to think it over.’ Cop said. He then ran to his house and lay down. For the next month, Cop visited Cameron everyday and talked to her as she slept, he didn’t go to any practises with the team and he had brief meetings with his parents. At the end of the month, Cameron had been able to breath on her own and was running about again. Her owners didn’t care about her health and had talked many times about selling her. Once she was out the vets, the first thing she did was run to Cops house.

  ‘ Cop!’ Cameron exclaimed as she crawled through the dog door. He couldn’t believe that a month had gone passed, as it had passed so slowly that it felt like forever.

‘ Cameron! They let you out!’ Cop exclaimed as he nuzzled her.

‘ We’re gonna quit today.’ Cameron said. Cop then remembered the plan and walked out the door with Cameron following. They ran to the boiler room hoping that Chester and the team would be there. And they were. Cop opened the door and walked in.

‘ What’re you doing here wolf dog?’ Chester asked. Cop knew that he wasn’t happy to see him again.

‘ Me and Cameron quit the team.’ Cop said. He stood strong like a wolf defending its ground.

‘ Fine! We don’t need you!’ Chester exclaimed. Cop then left the room with Cameron following.

‘ You’ll be sorry.’ She breathed. The door then slammed shut and Chester was happy to have them gone. The championships were in two days, after another concert. The couple ran to Rex and Soul and told them what just happened.

The next night, the concert was on, but with no spies. Cop and Cameron were up first. They jumped onto stage and started.

Cameron:

Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart

Cop:

I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here

Cameron:

Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
