"I can try." Zero growled back. He hoped that after this he would be done with the bath, having remembered vividly why he disliked them.

"As long as you don't mind losing, you're welcome to it," said Richard, "But if I were you, I would run before they decide to put ribbons in your fur."

Zero decided to take this advice and took off, backtracking out the front doggy door.

"LOOK OUT FOR THE-too late," Richard said, as a maid grabbed Zero right as reached the door.

Zero glanced around at the maid that had grabbed his dark red collar. He started to struggle to escape.

The maid called a few others to help, and while so,e locked the doors and closed windows, the others helped pick him up to carry him into a very colorful dressing room.

"Oh, no, I can't watch." Richard snickered a little.

Zero stopped struggling when everything was locked up. "Someone kill me now..." He groaned as he went limp.

The lady carrying Zero struggled to hold him, but she managed to set him on the ground gently, "I think he might have fainted, get some water to toss on him."

"Great. Second bath technically." Zero grumbled, his ears pinned back.

Now the ladies brushed Zero's fur, and applied a little more perfume. "How are we going to get that mark off of her head?"

"We'll use the dark cream."

"Does pink go well with black?"

"It goes well with any color."

"Fine you put the attach the bow then." one them said, while the others attached one pink bow to his head, and one to his tail. Then they were done.


Ace came just in time to see them let Zero out, and his eyes got big at the site. "This isn't one of those 'don't ask don't tell things' is it? You look like you had a blast." Ace said.

"Oh that was the funniest thing I've seen in my life," said Richard, "Zero, if I were you, I'd just be happy they didn't keep you longer."

Zero was so humiliated and annoyed that he just stormed on past the two, ignoring them.

(Someone's not a happy puppy. XP)

(he may not be happy, but he's very clean XD)


"Do you think we can help him out a little?" Ace said to Richard.


"Not too much, but I wonder if where he's going." Richard replied.


"I'll follow him and find out. it's not the end of the world." said Ace.

Zero managed to get to the front yard. Once there, he threw himself into the dirt and rolled all in it, getting the ribbons off and uncovering his 0 mark. "Much better..." He growled to himself before heading to the back yard before Ace or Richard could see him.

Zero just ignored Ace, sitting under a tree so Ace could only see his tail.
