The Day of the Groundhog variety... xD

Dawg had had a rough day. Rougher than usual. He'd woken up and rolled out of bed, almost impaling himself on the floor because Rey had been making glass spikes all over the room out of boredom, "forgetting" to undo them on his way out.

He'd transformed into his winged Chihuahua form just in time and flown over them, reverting to his human form just outside of his bedroom.

Annoying things like this happened when Rey stayed at his house, but this was pretty high up there on the "Downright Murderous" scale.

Then he had to take Rey for a walk, and accidentally bumped into Kanuki, who out of boredom, froze Dawg's internal organs for a few seconds, and locked him in his Black German Shepherd form. ((He can alter how he and people look now. >_> Freaky, no?)) This wore off after a few minutes, but it was enough time for Rey to give him some unwanted hugs in the middle of the street.

Later he was watching TV at home when his house spontaneously exploded. Then Miki wasn't at the movie theater when she said she would be. And to top it all off, Rey had put a dead skunk in Dawg's car.

So after nearly getting killed, bumping into Kanuki, his house exploding, being stood up on his date, and smelling like skunk, Dawg sat in the bar, too annoyed, angry and depressed to even have a beer.

Erika's day hadn't gone to swell either.

Firstly, Dick hadn't been home in months, because Bee was too busy playing KEYQUEST on Neopets. Blech. Erika didn't really care that Dick was gone, except that without him around, she was really bored. Surprisingly, Erika actually enjoyed Dick's company, so without him around her house was really boring.

Plus, she was not very happy at having to take care of four almost-one year old boys by herself.

So, Dean woke her up, whining for food. At three-thirty in the morning. So, she got him a snack, too tired to do anything but stumble and get him some Oreos, then fall back into bed. Then, at seven in the morning, Tusumi woke her up.

Tusumi can bring somebody out of consciousness just by staring at them long enough.

So, Erika, swearing, got him some oatmeal. Then, of course, she was forced to get him chocolate milk, and that triggered Dean into a whining fit for strawberry milk.

Then, after warily watching horror movies until 9:00, she got a call from Phoebe, who wanted to know if she was up for a "drive."

Phoebe's "drives" usually implied speeding, near-death car crashes, and a lot of slightly maniacle laughing.

Erika, though, had not thought of Phoebe's road rage. When some random guy cut off Phoebe, she had slammed on breaks, nearly killing Erika. Then, Phoebe had gotten out and started screaming in rage at the guy who cut her off.

The shouting match had lasted about twenty minutes, ending when the cops showed up. Then, Phoebe had, in a haste, grabbed a random glass bottle of beer and hit the guy over the head with it. Then, she'd blinked out of the place, conveniently forgetting Erika in the car.

Erika had gotten arrested and thrown in jail. She'd had to do some shapeshifting to get out of the jailhouse, only to have her cellphone ring.

It was Venna, who was the day's babysitter for the pups. Venna was telling her that SOMEHOW Dean was stuck to the cieling of the BG High School, while Tusumi had been sucked into the computer and was lost on Neopets.com.

Erika, now in a thoroughly bad mood, had to sort all that out. Then, upon taking the pups home, Dean was really hungry . . . WHAT A SURPRISE.

And then, when locking them in their room, she got a call from Dawn, freaking out because she had accidentally transported herself to ancient China, and apperently she couldn't speak the Chinese language from 1000 B.C.

Erika had had to sort THAT out, because apparently Phoebe was in the afterlife for the afternoon, visiting Grams.

And then, after such a full day, Erika had stormed to the bar, grabbed some beer, and sat down across from . . . Dawg.

((Wow, motherhood makes Dawg's life look easy. xD Then again he's similar to a mom when all the kiddie BGs are around.))

Dawg hadn't had as much trouble, especially with the whole kid thing, but he certainly did then Johnny was around.

He almost even missed him... Dawg stopped himself. He knew it was bad if he missed JOHNATHAN of all people.

Dawg didn't even look up when he said: "You too, huh?"

((Bee: -plays Key Quest with Dick on a leash-
Dick: -is tugging on leash- WHAT IS THIS @(#& THING MADE OF?!?
Bee: -is playing rock paper scissors without Dick knowing- Paper!
Dick: GYAHH. DX))

((Roflcopter. xD))

((Ttlly. Omg i spk in txt tlk 2day.

JUST KIDDING!!!! Wouldn't that get kinda annoying?

Hey, do you ever wonder if maybe Dawg and Erika's relationship gets a little awkward? I mean, Dawg watched Erika grow up through all the awkward stages of adolenscence, and *hesitates, then whispers* puberty(!!!!) And then, Dawg's always been the same as Erika grew up. A little weird discussing motherhood issues with the guy who was at your second grade talent show, eh?))

Erika nodded. "Today sucked. What happened to you?"

((Oh yeah, forgot 'bout that. ()>_> I dunno, maybe it is weird for 'im, I wouldn't know. I'll ask him next time I see 'im. xD

Dawg: I'm right here...

Gawd, now that I think about it, it IS pretty awkward. O,o))

Dawg left and came back with an Ale, ready to get plastered.

"Nearly got impaled, had my internal organs frozen, my house exploded, I was stood up on a date, and there was a skunk in my car." Dawg said bluntly, taking a swing from his mug
