First Text: The Christmas Present
"Yes I know, I really need to work in my english, sorry, but I'm still learning it, and well a goal I've ever had was to write my first story in english, and well, this came out, It is all imagined, I know there should be no relation between these characters, first of all for the times they live, but well, I was just imagining, and writing, I did not think about those details."
"And I do not own any of these characters, they are all from Disney."

Part 1: The Christmas present
Every year in Christmas period, Dearly's Farm is full of life. The guests give the farm more happiness to the farm, the howls of all the pups. This is the funniest period in the year here, and everyone waits for these days.
Why is the reason for this kind of happiness? Obviously because it's Christmas, but there's another reason. The especial visitors in the farm are Tramp's family, Lady, Tramp, Scamp, the three adorable pups, Danielle, Collete and Anette, and Angel; of course, whole the farm is content to have them living there for a few days.
Today is December 25, it's Christmas! There are presents everywhere, from the best toys to some little present for someone who you like. In this day the present doesn't care.
Lucky were giving and receiving presents from everyone. His list were completed except one pup, Angel, he had a little gold bracelet for her. "I must give it to her" He thought.
Angel is very popular in the farm, she's very charismatic, and she has a big beauty. Lucky tried, but he couldn't see her, and he couldn't give her his present. At night, Lucky were very upset, Cadpig weren't indifferent to him.
"What's wrong, Lucky?" She asked with soft voice in the middle of a quiet night.
"Nothing, nothing" Lucky replied trying to hide his failure.
"Hey, this is beautiful" Cadpig took the little bracelet "Who is it for?" She asked seeing attentively the gold piece.
"For Angel..."
"Oh... why you didn't give it yet?"
"I couldn't, I don't know why, but I couldn't" Cadpig saw his sadness, and, like is her style, she tried to help.
"It's still Christmas, you can give it now"
"I don't know where she is"
"Then, go out and look for her" She gave to Lucky the little bracelet back. "She should be somewhere in the farm"
Lucky thought, that was a good suggestion, he has to find her and just give her the present that's all. It is nothing impossible to do. He went out to find Angel, he was decided.
He could see her, and he smiled, but no for too long, Tramp was talking with his family.
"Bad news, Jim and Darling decided to go the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow is our last night here" All the family exchanged a sad look, they didn't want to go so fast.
"That's not fair" Said Danielle making a complain"
"I'm sorry but we cannot do anything. Enjoy the last day as best as you can, then we'll go"
'What? They... Are they going? Oh no, it cannot be, I've failed, I've failed miserably' Disappointed by himself, Lucky went to sleep; he walked with slowly steps, in the middle of a cold night.
Was too late, Tramp's family went to sleep and Lucky couldn't see Angel, "Forget it pal, maybe the next year"
The next day Lucky stayed into the barn, the day was cold, the last night the snow fall from the highest clouds, and today was still cloudy, they were advertising their presence with the loud sounds of their thunders and giving a beautiful show of lights with their lightnings.
"Oh, you're a sorry sight, she's still here, I know is late, but there's enough time" Said the kind Cadpig, but at the moment very furious for Lucky's strange attitude. "Make good use of your time" She continued "Or, you will lost the opportunity you still have"
"You're right" Replied Lucky raising his voice. "I paid too much for this, Swamp Rat didn't give it to me as a gift" He stands up "Tonight, I swear it, Thank you, thank you very much Cadpig" She smiles, feeling good with herself.
"I said it too much times Lucky, and once more, I'm proud of you Lucky"
The night, opposite the day, in the firmament it was drawing some stars. Some little clouds in the sky, they're were not ruining the night, they were whirling the full moon, and making a unique firmament, and the storms letting go their beautiful lights in the distance. The snow shining, reflecting the moon's light, like a sky on a white floor.
Finally, Lucky saw Angel, and she was....Alone? He got nervous, but he walked to find her, decided to give the bracelet, and Lucky thought again 'This is easy, She will be thankful, she will like it' And he started to walk naturally to her.
Angel was distracted, looking to the front, but she noticed about one lonely pup that was walking toward her, she looked at him but not with good eyes, she gazed him very confused, that Made Lucky nervous again. There was not return, so he had to finish that.
'You have the bracelet; you just need the words' he whispered himself.
Near, that puppy was much more beautiful, She had a golden fur, that was of a cream color on her chest, and in the end of her paws too, a tail plenty of fur of the same golden color, an ear looking always down, and the other looking to the stars, that was a unmistakable peculiarity that she only had. 'Now I know why they called her Angel' Lucky thought.
Angel didn't turn her look from him; those deep eyes were looking directly at him. Slowly, he walked, until he was in front of her, it was silence for a few seconds; Lucky finally got courage and said:
"Hi" He said with very low voice.
"Hi..." She said indifferent, No more words, and it was just silence again, those moments were eternal to him, while he thought in something to say. Angel didn't say anything more, because she didn't know what to say too. She just kept her eyes looking at the sky, finally Lucky decided to say something.
"So, what are you...?" They both talked at the same time. Angel just giggled, and said:
"Continue"
"Sorry"
"Don't worry, what did you want to tell me?"
"I wanted to ask you, what were you doing here?" Angel smiled to him.
"I'm having fun by my own way"
"Really? Is there a special reason?" She didn't remove the smile from her face.
"Come here, sit" She moved one step to her right, indicating Lucky a place next to her, he went there.
"Ok, and?"
"Obviously little friend, I guess this is a good reason to be here" Thinking about his next actions while he was talking to Angel he couldn't see carefully all the landscape that were in front of him.
He could see that, he couldn't avoid the action of open his mouth a little, surprised, marveled, some little clouds over them shining with the moon's light, he could see the stars, red ones, blue ones, and the white ones, they were in one of the highest hills, so, he saw a wonderful white carpet on the floor, that disappeared in the distance, further, there was a lot of clouds, getting dark, but those clouds were offering them a great show of lights, and softly, he could hear the sound of one thunder.
"Wow, this is incredible." Lucky couldn't move his eyes from that.
"Have you ever seen something like this?" He turned his look to her, she had the same smile on her face, and moon's light gave her a rare beauty, Lucky didn't thought about his last words, he said impressed, gazing her:
"Once..." Angel suddenly looked at him, Lucky woke up of his dreams and removed his eyes from her, but Angel knew what he tried to say.
"Did you say that I'm beautiful? Like this landscape? Not even Lucky knew that, he blushed, What to say? Angel were still gazing him, waiting for an answer.
"Eh... Yes... I think..." He wasn't there to say those kinds of words, 'Why did I say that?' He asked to himself.
"Thanks, I think you are the first one here to say that seriously"
"What do you mean?"
"Compliments, everyone here told me one at least."
"And... Why do you think I said that seriously?" Angel giggled.
"Your face, I know how to recognize that, I'm sure, that wasn't another of those compliments, and, thank you again for that" 'Impressive' He thought, 'She had everything calculated' She was right, Lucky said that because he felt that.
"I'm very impressed, if you weren't here, I might be able to not see this."
"Thank you, I don't know how I didn't see you, you're so sweet"
"You must know everyone here, Am I wrong?"
"Except you and other pup"
"Other one?
"Yeah, I have been hearing about him from the moment I came here, to yesterday at night" Now she was looking to him, the most fantastic eyes he had ever seen were looking to him.
"Really? How is he like?" Lucky finally could smile to her; he knew why she was so popular in the farm; that was because she was very kind.
"Well, they told me that he's very adventurous, intelligent, most of them say that he's like a hero."
"Wow, I'm must say that I'm jealous, Do you know his name?"
"I talked with one of his best friends, Cadpig told me that his name is Lucky, She told me too that she was going to introduce me to him, I think she forgot that" 'M...me?' Lucky were so confused, those words about him, he never received those words from anyone.
"W...wow"
"Well, I showed you my reason to be here, so tell me friend, First, What's your name?"
"Um... My name is..."
"Come on, I'm just asking for your name"
"My name is Lucky..." Angel stayed 3 seconds in silence, and then she sighed and said.
"Come on Are you kidding me?"
"No, that's my name... really" Angel lied down on the snow, wondering if he was really Lucky. "Come on" said Lucky "I haven't done anything"
"No it's not that" She haven't met Lucky, and that was an unfamiliar pup, he must be Lucky. "Ok, tell me Lucky, why did you come here?"
"Just because I wanted to talk to you" Angel got up from the snow.
"What a coincidence, huh? I wanted to meet you, and you came here."
"Yes, I think..."
"Nice to meet you..." She paused "...Lucky"
"Same here, it's strange, I never heard that from my brothers and sisters, hero?" Lucky laughed.
"You're right, the description does not agree totally with you" Lucky stopped laughing, he didn't know if that was a compliment or an insult.
"Oh, so it doesn't"
"No, well, most of them don't act like you"
"I'm still without understand that"
"I think if you were like the pup they talked to me about you should be arrogant"
"I see..."
"Well, I'm glad you're not like those guys"
"Oh, you'd be surprised; I have a few of those things you already mentioned"
"Very bad, very bad..."
"Hey Angel"
"Yes?"
"I know is late, but I came specifically to give you... this."
"Really? I'd like to see that" Lucky had the bracelet in his right paw, he showed it to her.
"Hope you like it" Angel widened the eyes, seeing the radiant golden piece,
"I... don`t know, It's surprising, Gold?"
"Yes, I... think" 'If Swamp Rat did not swindle me again...' Lucky thought. "... but... let me put it on your..."
"No, I'll do it." Angel took the little piece, and stared at the bracelet for a long time. Finally she placed it on her paw. "Yes, I like it"
"Great, I think that was all, It's late Isn't it?" Lucky looked to the barn, ready to go.
"Where are you going?"
"Eh... there" He said indicating the barn.
"Come on, let's walk for a while"
"Um...ok" They both stood up, and walked for a moment in silence, walking to the barn; it was still far from where they were.
"I'm going out from here tomorrow" She said as a plain talking.
"Yes, that's why I were looking for you"
"Thank you for that"
"No, I should give it to you yesterday, but I... simply couldn't"
"Ok don't worry, you did it, so I think it's Ok" Lucky started to feel cold; the wind bumped him making him shiver. The clouds were closer, and closer, announcing a new rain, snow, or maybe a torment.
"It's getting windy"
"Yes" They were in front of the barn and Lucky could see something that might complicate de day.
Mistletoe."
Angel saw the small plant over them, That image of Lucky kissing her, made her shiver, in her life, she had never shown such affection, except to Scamp.
On the other hand, it would not be the first nor the last time that Lucky kiss someone. For him, it would be something else would happen.
The atmosphere started to feel tense, what a tradition. Lucky was very O.K with it, if he had more girls, better.
But now, it was completely different. Angel already had a mate. Maybe for Lucky, it is too easy take the girls, but tonight, he didn't go there with any of those thoughts, and he had no intention to do that. It was really... weird, so weird to be close to her.
After a minute, Lucky simply offered a paw to her, as an expression of friendship, She answered to this with the same action. It was better; there were no physical contact, at least no further than that handshake (or pawshake whatever you want).
Angel didn't know how she was feeling; on the one hand, she felt relief, because Lucky found a good way to get out of that situation. But on the other... she felt strangely unsatisfied. 'What in the hell am I thinking of? D-Did I really want to do that?'
While those thoughts were running in Angel's head, she placed her eyes on Lucky's. With that involuntary action, Lucky started to have some thoughts too. Too many meets he had, too many times in which he could easily possess every girl there. What the heck is happening now?
Angel released her paw from Lucky's
"Well... merry Christmas" She said with shy voice, looking to her new bracelet, with a lightly smile. The bracelet had some little pieces of the snow down there.
"Are you...o.k.?" He asks, totally surprised, that energy and extroversion she had shown those days in the farm. There was no place to see her acting like that.
"Sure. Why do you ask that?"
"I... only wanted to know." Silence again, a new cold breeze whistled between the two hills, in one of them, were that pair of pups, talking. Then they could hear a branch being broke, maybe that last breeze did that.
"Wow" Said Lucky quietly, almost as a whimper, he closed his eyes and raised his ears. He walked to the top of the hill. Angel looked at him with disbelief. What kind of pup is he? "I've never seen this so... calm, so peaceful."
"Well... That's why I like to go out at this time." She walked toward him showing a smile, a smile which, for first time, he could see beautiful. "More than one hundred dogs here make a lot of noise." She placed one paw on Lucky's chin; she made it softly, gently, those kinds of things that only can be made by a princess. She made him look somewhere else than herself. Everything around them were in the most completely silence, whole the farm, illuminated by an intermittent moonlit, that was already being interrupted by the clouds that were arriving from the distance. "I can bet that you have never seen anything like this."
"No... never." Now she was different again, with the same gently, she caressed Lucky's face, trough his mouth, his nose, until she could touch his eyes, and she made Lucky's eyes to close. "Just listen." she whimpered at Lucky's ear. Lucky felt the warm breath touching his ears, and feeling it in whole his body, with a magnificent feeling he never had before.
He concentrated, and started to listen all around them. Was incredible, not even the most dangerous adventure he had could make him had that kind of excitement. He lived on a farm, but there was still all that noises, now he was hearing no noises, now he was hearing sounds. The barks and howls of all his siblings changed immediately by the sound of the wind that was crossing trough his body softly. That high volume of the TV changed by those almost inaudible sounds of the hay, they were being at wind's mercy. Lucky never liked to be quiet and in silence, he was sincerely no follower of the natural things or calm, but those minutes, were just, unforgettable. It was almost magic.
"Can you see?"She asked removing her paw from Lucky's face, again, slowly.
"Y-yeah." He answered with a very low voice; they were too close to raise the voice. "Where did you learn this?"
"Mi home is very quiet" Lucky finally opened his eyes and looked to Angel, she was seeing to the moon "There's nothing better to do there"
"Sounds boring" Angel turned quickly her look to him with a face of a small annoyance.
"Don't say that."
"Hey, be calm, I said that it sounds boring" Lucky turned his look to the great landscape again, "But with you... I discovered, that it is not boring in any way, yes... there's no way to consider this, boring." Angel couldn't understand what was happening, she was enjoying so much that moment, the male pup were listening to her, leaving himself to be carried by her, all of those minutes were a dream for her, she always wanted to live that moment, but something have changed, she wanted to live that, but, with Scamp, but it was so hard to make him do that. Lucky was so sensitive for her.
Lucky was confused too. Maybe Angel was thinking about him as a very sensitive dog, but he was not really that kind of pup. All those things are so new for him; it was going to bring so many new changes. New feelings started to whirl around him; he could even feel it physically, with a little shiver on his back.
"It really feels good isn't it?" She said walking a step away.
"Something new, but, despite of that, it is one... one of the best thing I've ever seen in my life" Lucky walked a step, close to her again.
"You always discover so many things that are better than the others" She said without make any movement.
"You're right, I have realized about that a long time ago" Lucky were looking to the front, with pleasant face.
"Really?"
"Yes, in so many ways"
"Like what?" Lucky immediately turned his look to her.
"Well I..." He just realized about how close they were, a very compromising position, they looked directly to their eyes. One thing took them to another, they couldn't avoid it.
She showed her perfect teeth, Lucky couldn't see it longer, they were closer and closer. There was an invisible cord that was attracting them. Lucky closed his eyes, Angel closed her eyes too. They wanted to feel, not to see. Then the sweet and mellow lips touched his own lips. It was different, so different.
Most of the kisses he has received were with a crazy passion, with a desperate intent to satisfy them physically, all of them, except a kiss he received from another little puppy. Now he felt something similar, a soft kiss, and a sweet kiss, unique.
They broke the kiss; Angel moved away quickly, Lucky widened his eyes. Angel was as surprised as he was.
"W-what was that? Why did you...? Angel sighed, and spoke more slowly. "Why did we do that?"
"I...I didn't come here for that, t-that's not what I intended tonight, really, I'm sorry"
"Be calm, I... I did that too." She replied, looking to the snow, hiding her eyes from Lucky's.
"I don't know what to say, that was, untimely."
"It's strange, we didn't need the mistletoe"
"Sorry about that, really, you... you have a mate, and I'm sure you love him" Angel suddenly changed her face from neutral to upset.
"Scamp..."
"Oh no" Lucky felt the guilty conscience, that conscience he felt so many times. 'No, not you again' Lucky thought. "Where was my mistake now?"
"It's not your fault, it's just that..." Angel looked at him with a little smile. "It is not going like I expected." Lucky could see in her eyes a bright of sadness. 'Is she unhappy with her own mate?'
"W-Why?" Lucky asked, and Angel sighed quietly.
"You wouldn't understand it. Do you want me to be totally honest with you?" Her voice sounded warm and friendly, she was no anger, but it was still sad.
"S-Sure" Lucky said, moving his head close to her again, feeling more comfortable by her side.
"I..." She breathes deeply, really needing to take out those words. "I really needed that kiss."
"Oh please, not even you believe those words"
"Believe me if you want" Her voice was almost broke. "I know those were real words." 'She needed it?'
"But... Why? Why from me?"
"Not from you..." Angel sighed again. Lucky didn't want to know anymore. He just came to give a little gift, but for some reason they kissed, Lucky could be in a great trouble right now.
"I... thought that you were happy in your family."
"I am, Lucky, I am, after all my experience, I finally feel happy"
"Ok, I can understand that, but you don't look happy right now, tell me. What do you exactly need?" She looks into his eyes, seeing finally those sympathetic eyes, looking directly to her.
"Just..."
"A little bit of love?" Angel nodded.
"Can you help me with that?"
"I don't know, maybe I can."
"If you know a way please, show me it." Lucky couldn't believe what he was going to do.
"O...ok, I'll try."
Lucky gently placed one paw on her face, moving it slowly; he touched her lips, her nose, her eyes. Angel closed her eyes, and letting herself be controlled by Lucky's will, both hearts were beating faster, and faster.
Lucky continued, now trough her neck, it was a sensitive part of Angel, and it brought another shiver, that started from the nape of the neck, to her tail. Now his paw was on her neck, but he stopped for a while, he wanted to continue with that, caressing her body, but that would bring them to another thing, and he didn't wanted that. He diverted the course of his paw, going to her chin again. Angel leaned her face against Lucky's paw, and opened her eyes a little, she was smiling.
"Better?" Lucky asked, taking a lot of care of his actions, he should admit it, he was feeling fear. He had a lot of experience, but she was so different, he couldn't touch her to stain her body or her own person. Without any advertisement, he got a lot of respect for that puppy.
"Yes..." She whimpered, placing her paw on Lucky's, and moving it now trough her body.
The things were going beyond his control, now his paw was on her back. He shoved, making her lose the force of her paws, and lying down to the ground. Lucky walked over her. Face to face, fear, arousal, joy, insecurity. It was coming; he knew that it was going to happen anyway.
Angel tried to kiss him again, but Lucky immediately moved his head to her chest, and he licked it. The fact is that he wanted to avoid another kiss or any physical contact, he started to feel worse. On his tongue he felt a soft fur, she was just perfect, and an uncontrollable desire invaded his body and his mind. He caressed her paw again; her fur was just like silk.
"No, I can't do this, not to you" those words sounded, suddenly, breaking the silence they have kept for a while.
"What?" Lucky moved away, giving her enough space to get up. "Why do you say that, Lucky?"
"I... I've never felt something like this before, it's great, but new, Angel, I don't say this usually, but now I feel scared about this."
"Scared?"
"Yeah... please, don't misunderstand it; it was the best night of my life, really."
"It was?"
"Yes... with you..."
"Don't worry, I understand."
"R-Really?"
"Yes Lucky, I really wanted to do that, but now, I know that it was going to be the worst mistake of my life, Thanks for saving me." Lucky sighed deeply, feeling a great relief.
"It's better for me now."
"You, suddenly have a great respect of me." Lucky immediately blushed, just because, maybe that was a true sentence.
"Um... I... I don't know what to say."
"Thank you little pup" She said leaning her head against Lucky's head. "You are the most sensitive dog I've always seen."
"I am not; this is the first night I'm acting like this"
"In that case, I really like the new Lucky" Lucky felt his eyelids heavy, it was late, and obviously he was tired.
"Let's go and sleep Angel" Lucky looked at her new bracelet. "You wear it good"
"Thanks. Can you see me tomorrow?"
"Of course, I'll say good bye to you" Lucky said smiling, and with sleepy eyes.
"Ok, good night Lucky"
"Good night"
Angel turned away, and ran to the house. Roger and Anita allowed the Dear's dogs to sleep inside; anyway, they were the guest.
Lucky stayed in the same place, now alone, enjoying again of the new things he discovered thanks to Angel. He finally felt tired, and went into the barn, walking warily. He found his place next to Cadpig and lied down to sleep. He closed his eyes, feeling a bit of satisfaction.
"So, did you finally give it to her?" A light voice, sounded trough his ears. He opened his eyes and smiled seeing at his sister's face.
"Yes... I did."
"That took a lot of time. Hey you, What did you do with her?"
"Nothing special Cadpig."
"I'm sure that something happened."
"Cadpig, if you are talking about...that, just smell me, I didn't do that." He was right; Cadpig couldn't feel any scent coming from him.
"I really thought that you..."
"Yes, it almost happens, but I couldn't."
"Why? Is she ugly or what?"
"She..." Lucky raised his voice a little, he felt that those words were directly to him, and he felt offended by them. "... Is the most perfect pup I've ever seen, I felt a big desire for her, I didn't do that because I felt something strange while I was talking with her."
"Wow, It might be love"
"It is no love Cadpig, just, respect."
"You are not being yourself."
"I know Cadpig, I know."
"Ok, let's sleep, tomorrow they'll go, and I think you want to say good bye to them."
"Yes, see you later" Lucky Placed his head on the soft hay, and closed his eyes.
"I wish you sweet dreams Lucky." Cadpig felt worried for her brother, she did not knew what happened out there, she started to think about all the things about to come, Cadpig shook her head, she did not needed her brain working that hard at that time, she closed her eyes hoping for the next day to be normal.
To be continued...
