felt this way before...what's happening to me!?"

                                                                                                 ***

"What the-" Bandit snapped out of his daze. Bobo's ears pricked up. Seth and Amy looked in their direction. The two dogs ducked down just in time.

"Bandit, what happened?" Bobo asked.

"I'm not sure," Bandit cocked his head. The two dogs kept listening to Seth and Amy's conversation. Bandit's eyes were fixed on Amy the whole time. To Bandit everything about Amy was amazing. After a while they heard Seth say that their next destination was the rest of the houses in Snob Hill. They were going there at midnight the following night. After the duo heard that they turned and headed back to the Junkyard. Bandit dropped Bobo off at the old tent and Bandit went to the hideout and went to sleep on the battered rug that lay on the floor.

                                                                                  ***

Bandit was in the middle of a dream. He was at Tony's and Tony opened the door and Amy walked out. She sat at the table opposite bandit and Tony served them a plate of spaghetti. Joe played the harmonica while they ate. After they ate. Tony and Joe cleaned their plate and went inside. Bandit and Amy looked into eachother eyes and leaned closer.

"Bandit?" Amy said.

"What?" Bandit asked dreamily.

"Bandit...Bandit...Bandit...Bandit...?                                                                                         

                                                                                           ***

"Bandit? Bandit? Bandit!" 

Bandit was shaken awake. He looked up and Bobo was on top of him?"

"Wake up, I wanna talk to you!" He said. Bandit sat up and prepared to listen.

"I was thinking about what we saw last night and i figured we should set a trap for the thieves," Bobo suggested. Bandit thought it over. It meant that Amy would be caught. But then Hero bandit would swoop in and save the day and Bandit and amy would live happily ever after...

"Bandit, snap out of it!" Bobo slapped Bandit around the nose.

"Okay!" Bandit said as he rubbed his nose with one of his paws.

"Let's go to snob hill and build the trap," Bobo said.

                                                                                          ***

Since Bandit and Bobo didn;t have tumbs it was pretty hard to build the trap. Instead, aftet the trap building thing failed, Bandit and Bobo decided to just to the old slip on the banana skin trick. 

"Okay, Bobo, here's the plan. We'll get as many banana skins as we can and lay them on the ground in front of the house. Then, when the thieves notice them, they'll back away. That's when you and me will throw a few more banana skins behind them and they'll slip over them and then I will jump on top of them, you grab the sack and then we'll take them back to their rightful owners," Bandit explained.

"That's a great plan, Bandit," Bobo agreed. They set out to find some banana skins. There were suprisingly more than they thought but it still wasn't many. They put about ten banana skins in front of the house, then they put kept some back to throw behind the thieves. They stayed next to the fence that surrounded the house all day. When night finally fell, the two dogs perked up and looked out for the thieves. Finally, the thieves appeared. Seth was carrying the sack in his mouth, while Amy walked alongside him, looking as beautiful as ever. Amy immediately noticed the banana skins and put out her paw so her father didn't step on them. Amy just stepped over them but Seth was too small and slipped on one.

"NOW!" Bobo hissed at bandit. Bandit had been focusing on Amy and had forgotten the plan. He jumped over the fence and on top of Seth. 

"Get off!" Seth growled.

"Go away, you freak," Amy barked. Bandit noticed what happened and started talking.

"Sprry about that, miss. I'm... a police dog. I'm looking for a criminal who's going around tearing dogs apart," Bandit lied. "I noticed the sack he was carrying and thought it might have something to do with it. I see I was wrong. I'm sorry," Bandit said. Amy smiled.

"No problem. But, can you gett off of my dad?" Amy asked politely.

"Oh yeah, sorry," Bandit stepped off of Seth. Seth got up and walked beside Amy.

"Shove off!" He yapped.

"Okay. Sorry again and be safe," Bandit winked at Amy who giggled. Bandit turned the corner, grinning like crazy. He started walking down the street with Bobo.

"What were you thinking! You ruined the plan!" Bobo groaned. Bandit suddenly realised what happened.

"Aw, shoot. Sorry, Bobo, I got carried away," Bandit sighed.

"It looks like you've got a bad case of lovebug fever," Bobo said.

"Is it contageous?" Bandit joked. Bobo giggled.

"No, but you have it, and I'm gonna help you get rid of it so we can stop the thieves. Anyway, Lola's gonna steam when I go home. She'll be wondering where I've been. She's so overprotective of me," Bandit said.

"But you're the only family she has. Be grateful you have a family," Bandit advised. Bobo smiled.

"Yeah, I guess," He agreed. When they got to the Junkyard and went their separate ways, Bandit immediately lay down on the couch and thought about Amy. He'd made a great move back there but what if Amy found out the truth about him and when would he talk to her again?

                                                                                              ***

Bandit woke up. When he went outside the sun was stil rising. He decided to go for a morning walk. When he stepped out of the Junkyard he bumped into none other than Amy!

"Oh, it's you. The police dog," Amy greeted.

"Yeah, hi," Bandit blushed. "Sorry about what happened last night."

"It's no problem, my dad sorta deserves it. He's crazy. He's super overprotective of me," Amy told Bandit.

"It's the same thing with my friend. His older sister is always bugging him about staying out late and stuff like that," Bandit said.

"I guess you get used to it," Amy said. There was a pause before Amy spoke again. "How about you. Do you have a family?" She asked.

"Me, nah. I live in the junkyard in an underground hideout. It's hidden by that green couch over there by the fence," Bandit pointed out.

"Cool. Maybe I can come see you sometime?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, sure," Bandit agreed.

"Well, I'd better get going, my dad's waiting for me," She said. "By the way, I never got your name," Amy said.

"Oh yeah. It's Bandit," Bandit told her.

"Bandit. Cool name. Mine's Amy," She said. "See you around, Bandit," She turned and left. When Bandit saw amy disappear around the corner, he let out a quiet: "Score!" and wnr to the top of the junkyard pile. He sat the thinking for a while before he heard a voice.

"Hey, Bandit." Bandit turned around and saw Elsie there.

"Hi," Bandit said.

"About the bone stealing thing. I can't be sure it's not you but I'm not going to give you the cold shoulder," Elsie said.

"About time someone didn't," Bandit chuckled. Elsie sat next to Bandit and put her head against his side. Bandit shuddered when she did but Elsie didn't notice. Elsie suddenly spoke.

"Wow, look at this, no Coco, no Tangerine, no Travis. Just us," Elsie stood up on her hind legs and put her front legs against Bandit so she was face to face with Bandit. She leaned towards him, but Elsie must've been leaning against Bandit pretty hard because he slipped and rolled down the junk pile. He landed flat on his face at the bottom. Elsie ran down towards him. "Are you okay?" Ahe asked frantically.

"I knew you didn't mean it when you said that you weren't gonna give me the cold shoulder. Why did you push me?" Bandit asked.

"I didn't mean to. It was an
