VII. Girls talk
**VII. Girl's talk** _As told by Nina_ "Well, since the boys survived the water, maybe we should take a dive as well. Are you with me, Lily?" I asked. The Shepherd shrugged her shoulders. "Sure, I guess I didn't come all this way just to lay...
XIX. Friends indeed
**XIX. Friends indeed** _As told by Milo_ The next morning, I awoke to the sight of Nina calmly sucking her pacifier. For some reason, I enjoyed watching her sleep. She usually has this peaceful expression on her muzzle that just doesn't fail to...
XVIII. Reflections
**XVIII. Reflections** _As told by Lily_ I started the second round a little more subdued. Partly due to my earlier brashness which had caused us to lose the first time, and partly due to having just been changed. It was getting easier to handle,...

IV. In need of friends
**IV. In need of friends** _As told by Milo_ June. It's in the 'top three' in the 'Months I Don't Like'-category. My birthday and October are worse, but that's because of the emotional charge. I dislike June because most teachers and professors...
III. Reaching out
**III. Reaching out** _As told by Kaeden_ My ears flicked with anticipation as I pulled back into my driveway. We had a garage, but at the moment it wasn't useable. It was still full of boxes of our things that we hadn't yet brought in from our...
II. New beginnings
**II. New beginnings** _As told by Nina_ Friday morning in the last week of May. I woke up in a familiar bed that was not my own. Two weeks had passed since I had celebrated my boyfriend's birthday with him and his grandmother. We had a great...
I. Breaking routine
**I. Breaking routine** _As told by Lily_ "Hey Puppy," I said, reaching one arm over and resting it around my boyfriend's side. Far from finding my title for him demeaning, the darkly-patterned Shepherd instead smiled, and slowly blinked his...
X. Draw me close to you
_As told by Nina_ I had taken my sketchbook and pencils with me, so I could try my hand at some drawing until Trisha was done with her dinner preparations. Unlike Milo, I could actually draw a face that resembled my subject - although since he...
IX. The game is up
_As told by Nina_ As the game progressed, my suspicion were more or less became confirmed. I caught Trisha multiple times allowing me to jump her - either that, or she must have been _really_ bad at checkers. Eventually, I had three kings, making...
VIII. Practice makes perfect
_As told by Nina_ Finally Friday. I had not only made good progress on my artwork for Milo's theatre play, but also managed to finish an assignment I had to turn in at the end of the next week. Furthermore, my queue of commissioned artwork I owed...
XIII. Call and response
_As told by Milo_ The theatre event had been tiring, to say the least. I spent the entire evening waiting for my turn, since some moron had decided it would be a good idea to end the event with my play. Who ends a night like this with a tragedy?...
