A brief hesitation, and then she nodded. "Yes," she sighed. "I should probably go apologize..."

"Do ya want me to come?" He stood up.

"No, I should probably go alone," Sadie replied. She stood, then padded outside. She followed Hiro's scent-trail, and soon found him, alone and upset.

"What do you want?" Hiro asked.

"To say sorry?"

A glimmer of hope started to shine in his eyes, and Hiro looked up. "Really?"

"Yeah," Sadie said, sitting beside him. "I shouldn't have gotten so worked up about it."

"I was being a bit of a grump," Hiro admitted.

"A bit?" Sadie asked in joking disbelief. "More than that."

Hiro smiled. "You're right about that, too. I just...I don't get along well with others. I've been shunned and rejected too many times. I guess now when I get the chance to actually be accepted...I don't know how to act."

Sadie's ears flicked in understanding and sympathy. "Well, now that we've gotten the mushy stuff out, should we head back?"

Hiro's small smile widened. "Yeah, we should." They both stood.

"Ok," Loki said. He sat back down, waiting for Sadie to come back.

Sadie and Hiro walked into the junkyard.

Loki perked his ears and walked out of the car, "Did everything go over well?" he asked Sadie.

"Yep," Sadie said, nodding.

Hiro smiled his agreement.

"Oh, ok. Yay?" Loki questioned, wagging his tail, "But seriously, I think people are starting to worry about Lyna..."

"Yeah, is Lyna staying?" Hiro jumped in.

"I'll tell you when we get everyone together," Sadie promised. "Do you mind getting everyone?"

Hiro shook his head, and left to get everyone.

Loki scanned the area for something Sadie could stand on the help her voice project, "Sadie, why don't you stand over there, on that tire? It'll help for dogs to hear you," he suggested.

"Okay," Sadie agreed, moving to the tire and sitting comfortably on the rubber wheel.

Hiro soon saw Fen, and told him to go meet Sadie. He then found Flint. "Hey, Flint. Sadie's going to tell us about Lyna."

Hiro soon found Al, and repeated the same message.

"We're here," Fen said, sitting down near the tire.

Hiro sat next to him, ears pricked expectantly as he waited to hear about the young human child.

"Lyna is staying with a woman who has helped Loki and me out before," Sadie began. "She'll be trying to find Lyna's parents. We promised to visit her a lot though, and I'll take a few dogs with me to see her tomorrow."
