An idea I had, introduce more bright eye characters, have some age regression and diapers, and have a small giveaway.

Sam the German Shepherd belongs to http://www.furaffinity.net/user/bowserkid/

Hope you guys like it!


The brown and tan coyote pup lay in his bed, his paws holding a comic book a few inches away from his face. Since it was late on a Friday afternoon there was nothing to do at the command post. No missions, no blasphemers, and the other children had gone home. The coyote pup was all alone. Save his baby brother, Morgan, and the post's commanding officer.

Deeply focused in his comic book the pup didn't notice the shadow approaching his open doorway. With a loud knock on the pup's concentration was broken. Quickly stirring himself up to a sitting position he looked forward and saw the brown spotted hyena standing in his door frame. "Heya, Alex, what ya up to?" the hyena asked.

The coyote pup gave a sigh, lying back on his bed, letting go of the comic book he looked up at the ceiling. "Being super bored!"

The hyena entered the room completely and walked up to the bed. "hehe... Yeah I know. Nothing to do around here. Can't go out and play, TV has been on the fritz... still haven't gotten a console yet..."

Alex looked up at the hyena. "Wow! Rub it in why don't ya!"

"hehe, sorry kiddo... But that's actually why I'm up here. See, our scout on the side has found a nice stick in the mud, and we've gotten all the permissions. I know you've been pretty bored lately. So, how about tonight, we hire a babysitter for you and Morgan." As he spoke a devious grin formed on the hyena's face.

Rolling out of bed Alex stood up as fast as he can. With a devilish smile he placed the ends of his fingers together. "Oh, ho! It's been a long time since we had a babysitter!"

The hyena's smile blew up into a huge grin. "I've already arranged everything. We leave in five minutes."

With a bored look on his face the teenage German shepherd stared out the passenger side window. Spending his precious Friday night looking after some brats wasn't his idea of a good time. Still, they were offering one hundred and fifty dollars for Five hours of babysitting. When he got home, he was going to have a field day shopping for video games.

The car began to turn into a long driveway along the road. The German shepherd returned to a normal sitting position, looking around to regain his bearings. As the house came into sight he looked over at his mother. She instantly began ushering the teenager out of the door. "Go on now, Sammy, the first impression is always the most important. You don't want to be late!"

With a Grunt Sammy exited the car, taking quick note of the time: five o'clock sharp. Standing up straight he looked at the house in front of him. It seemed like a normal family home, but something felt off. The young German shepherd was perplexed as to why, but the house gave him a bad feeling.

"I just need to keep my mind on the money" He softly said to himself.

Despite his trepidations Sammy began to march forward to the front door. Ignoring the doorbell to his right. He gave the door a few firm knocks. Within seconds he heard feet shuffling towards the door from the other side. The door opened and an aged male hyena popped his head out. "Ah, you must be Sammy. Please come in."

The teen complied and followed the hyena into the houses interior. Happy that her son was safe and secure in the house the adult German shepherd put her car in reverse and backed out of the driveway.

Inside the house Sammy was ushered into the den. Taking note as he walked he couldn't help but notice how clean everything looked. To clean in fact, like no one actually lived here. Before he had a chance to think on it he turned a corner and a coyote pup came into his field of view.

The coyote pup raised his paw in the air and started waving "Hi! I'm Alex!"

Sammy gave a nervous grin towards the pup. "Uh, hi, I'm Sam."

The hyena continued to walk past Alex. The hyena briefly disappeared behind a second corner before reemerging with a baby coyote in his arms. Alex pointed at the baby and said "And this is Morgan!"

Sammy kept the nervous grin on his face, but said nothing at Alex's comment. Placing the baby coyote on the ground the hyena began addressing the teen. "Now, I'll be out for five hours. If there's an emergency my cell phone number is on the fridge. Morgan's bed time is seven; Alex's bed time is eight-thirty. I left a little pre-made meal for Morgan and a cup of soup for Alex. The soups in one of those nice microwaveable cans, you just need to heat it up. The boys are used to eating dinner about six."

Walking towards the entry room Sammy was still trying to size up the house, completely ignoring what the hyena was saying. "Alex has two vitamins he takes with his dinner, make sure he takes them! He can be a sneaky little pup. I've already given Morgan a bath, so he should be good for the night; just make sure he's tucked in by his bed time, and a little tip, bedtime stories put him out like a light. After that all you need to do is make sure Alex showers before bed."

Turning around the hyena gave Sammy a smile. "Besides that I'm giving you free range over the house. I trust you to take good care of everything!" The hyena's voice shifted from happy and carefree to somber and serious "Remember, you never know when you're being tested."

The German shepherd raised his eyebrow at the hyena's last statement. Despite barely listening to the old guy's rambling the sudden shift in tone caught him off guard. His nervous eyes locked onto the adult's face, which was still serious to the point of disturbing.

Before Sammy had a chance to think about it the hyena shifted back to his earlier demeanor. "Alright then, I better get going! You three have fun!" With that, the adult swiftly made his exit.

As soon as the front door closed Sammy walked over to the window. Gazing through the glass he watched intently as a small grey car exited the house's garage and sped down the driveway. Once the car was completely out of sight Sammy turned around to see Alex standing in the middle of the room holding Morgan.

Alex opened his mouth to speak but he was quickly cut off. "Okay, listen here, forget everything the old hyena just said, I'm going to watch TV, you two do whatever you want, but don't bug me" With that The German Shepherd grabbed the remote sitting near the television before walked over and plopping down on the leather sofa.

The coyote pup blinked a few times. "Um, you're supposed to..." again he was cut off.

"Listen kid, I don't really feel like doing anything, just stay out of trouble till he gets back." The German shepherd scoffed at Alex.

With Morgan still in his arms Alex slinked off to the back bedroom of the house. Once he was out of earshot of Sammy the older coyote muttered. "Oh chief, you got me what I always wanted! This one is going to be fun!"

Peeking around the corner Alex watched Sammy lounge on the couch and watch TV. The coyote pup began thinking of ways to test the sitter. After all, part of the agreement is that the sitter always has a chance to alter their fate. "Hmm, let's start with something really easy." Alex thought to himself.

Approaching the back of the couch Alex began speaking, "Hey, Sammy! Do you..." Suddenly the teen spun his head around, giving an angry look to Alex.

"S-A-M! You do NOT call me Sammy! This is the only warning you're getting kid, do it again and I'm sending you to bed on the spot!" With that the German shepherd spun his head back towards the TV, adjusting the purple collar around his neck after turning.

With wide eyes Alex stood behind the couch saying nothing. "Oh wow... Strike one already." The coyote whispered to himself.

Alex coughed and began to talk again. "Alright, Sam, me and Morgan are going to play blocks! Do you wanna play with us?" The comment received no response.

Annoyed that he was ignored Alex tried a more reasonable request. "Alright, can we play in here?" Sammy didn't turn around, but shook his head.

Even though the German shepherd couldn't see it Alex gave him an annoyed look. "Even if we promise to be really quiet?" Again Sammy shook his head.

Feeling slightly offended Alex puffed his cheeks out. "Why are you so mean?"

Sammy laughed and stood up. He slowly turned to face the coyote. Saying nothing he lifted his paw in the air, extended his finger and pointed at the frownie face on his shirt. "What does that have to do with anything?!" Alex cried out.

The coyote's question was met with a repeat action from the teen. He pointed at the face on his shirt before returning to the couch. He grabbed the remote and then spread his legs and arms, entering a lounging position. Once he was comfortable he turned up volume, completely shutting out Alex.

Alex quickly retreated to the back room. As he entered he was greeted by a soft babble from Morgan. Alex sat down in front of his baby brother and closed his eyes. After a few seconds he opened them again, however; this time his yellow eyes were illuminated by an unearthly light. Following his brother's lead Morgan closed his eyes and focused, soon the baby coyote's eyes also began glowing.

"Did he fail?" Alex heard Morgan's soft voice in his head.

Alex responded by sending a short "yep" directly into Morgan's thoughts.

Morgan closed his eyes and concentrated. Seeing his brother's memories a frown came over the baby's face. He was feeling upset that the babysitter was being so mean. However; Alex then began to share his plans with Morgan. Upon seeing what they were going to do Morgan began to softly snicker.

Soon after the light ethereal light faded from the boys' eyes and Alex took out a set of blocks in the bedroom's cabinet. The boys played peacefully together. Alex would build a block tower and Morgan would knock it down. After the construction and demolition cycle got boring the two worked together to build a little town.

As the brothers finished the town hall both Alex's and Morgan's stomachs began to growl, they were getting pretty hungry. Looking towards the clock Alex realized they had been playing for nearly an hour, and had missed their normal meal time by thirty minutes.

Alex headed back to the den carrying Morgan in his arms. Sammy was still sprawled out on the couch, watching what Alex would describe as a dumb teenager show. The older coyote pup gave a cough, trying to get Sammy's attention, but to no avail.

Next Alex tried stomping his feet. Despite the loud clashing sound that resulted when his shoe hit the hardwood floor the German shepherd remained silent. Alex then took it a step further; he placed Morgan on the soft carpet leading into the hallway. Once Morgan was secure Alex began jumping up and down, trying to make as much noise as possible. Despite all this Sammy continued to ignore the pup.

Finally fed up with being ignored Alex took a deep breath before shouting "HEY" at the top of his lungs. The shout did the trick, and with an incredibly annoyed look on his face Sammy turned around to face the pup.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Sammy screamed back at Alex, doing his best to mock the little coyote's voice.

Unfazed Alex answered. "It's past time for dinner."

Sammy turned back towards the TV. "So? Go warm up the soup and eat it."

Alex immediately responded. "You're supposed to do that for me!"

Sammy gave a small chuckle. "Maybe, but I'm not going to. You're big enough to do it on your own. I was able to use the microwave by the time I was your age."

Anger was starting to build in the coyote's voice. "We hired you to babysit for the night, not to sit around and watch TV. Get up and get us some food!"

Sammy grunted and stood up. As he started turning around Alex could see the German shepherd had a scowl on his face. "YOU don't tell me what to do! I'm in charge here! And I do NOT like your attitude!"

Alex let out a soft growl. "Fine! I'll cook myself something, but at least feed Morgan!"

Sammy raised his eyebrow at the older coyote. "He's YOUR brother! Why don't you feed him?"

No longer able to contain himself Alex screamed at the top of his lungs. "BECAUSE YOU'RE THE FREAKING BABYSITTER!"

Sammy blinked a few times before opening his mouth to talk. "That's it; you're going to bed right now! And I don't want to hear anything else from you tonight."

Alex's eyes grew wide. "That's... That's not fair!"

Sammy shrugged his shoulders. "Too bad, life isn't fair."

Alex gave the teen the most hateful look he could muster. An onlooker would have probably thought the little coyote was getting ready to physically attack the German shepherd, and they wouldn't be wrong. However; Alex knew he couldn't actually harm Sammy. Besides, the teen's punishment would be coming soon enough.

Taking a deep breath Alex started speaking as calmly as he could muster. "Alright, fine, but at least let me eat and feed Morgan before I go to bed."

While sitting down and returning to his lounging position Sammy answered. "Okay, but I don't want to hear any noise out of you."

Alex returned to the hallway entrance and picked up his baby brother. Sammy watched him as he began walking towards the kitchen. Feeling like he needed to take one last shot at the little boy Sammy quickly blurted out. "Oh, by the way, I'm telling your old man you said the F word."

With wide eyes Alex turned to face the sneering German shepherd. "I didn't say the F word!"

Sammy gave a small chuckle. "I heard you say it, don't even try to deny it."

A deeply frustrated Alex gave a grumble and continued into the kitchen. After making room on the soft rug for Morgan to sit on the older coyote retrieved the pre-made dinner that was sitting in a plastic Tupperware container. For the next ten minutes Alex patiently fed his little brother, doing his absolute best not to spill any food. Despite Alex's best efforts, the rug and Morgan's shirt still ended up heavily stained.

Finally, Morgan beamed a short "full!" into Alex's mind. The older coyote sat the leftovers on the table and patted his brother on the head before moving to feed himself. He sat the small container in the microwave and started the timer. While watching the soup slowly spin on the microwave plate Morgan's voice entered his thoughts.

"Is he out?" The baby's voice asked.

With a sigh Alex responded. "Not yet, He's being a massive jerk, but we have to give him one more chance. Remember, three strikes."

With that Morgan ended the conversation, deciding that playing with his feet was more interesting. The microwave began beeping loudly and Alex opened the door. The older coyote went to get a spoon out of the drawer on the other side of the kitchen while he gave the soup time to cool. After a few minutes he pulled the can out of the microwave and took it over to the table. As soon as he sat it down and removed the lid he dug in.

As he was nearing the end of his meal Alex felt a sensation of relief coming from his little brother. Turning to look he could see Morgan leaning on the table leg, happily emptying his bladder. "ewww, wet diaper!" the older coyote thought to himself.

Although Alex had changed his little brother's diaper several times in the past he would always try to avoid it if he could. Just then an idea popped into the older coyote's head. Instead of waiting for the bed and bath routine he could administer Sammy's final test here and now.

"HEY! SAM! MORGAN PEE'D HIS PANTS!" Alex shouted out at the top of his lungs.

After a few seconds of silence a response came. "Didn't I tell you not to make any noise?"

"YEAH! BUT MORGAN NEEDS HIS DIAPER CHANGED!" Alex continued, still shouting.

"Okay, change him then." Sam's voice came from the den.

Alex took several seconds to close his eyes and take a deep breath. Maybe he had been too confrontational before? Perhaps some reason would change the German shepherd's mind?

"Hey man, you've done nothing but sit on the couch and watch TV the whole night. We're paying you what? Nearly two hundred dollars for just a few hours? You can, at the very least, change Morgan's diaper. Just once, I mean, it's just wet." Alex said in an almost pleading tone.

A minute of dead silence passed. The whole time Alex had his ears at the ready; whatever Sammy said next would ultimately decide his fate. A barely audible giggle could be heard coming from the den. The volume of the giggle increased quickly into a hysterical laughter. For the next few minutes Sammy's howls of laughter echoed through the house.

After nearly ten minutes of non-stop laughing the German shepherd was calm enough to speak. "Okay kid, let's get one thing straight. I don't do diapers."

Alex's eyes grew wide. "Um, but Morgan could get a diaper rash!"

A dismissive 'pssssh' came from the den followed quickly by, "what's stopping you from changing him?"

Alex quickly responded his voice once again filled with indignation. "I'm only seven years old! This is literally what we hired you to do!"

Sammy let out a sigh. "Yeah, sorry, but either you change him or he stays wet until your dad gets home, cause there is no way I'm touching a diaper."

Alex gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. It was pretty much a done deal at this point, but might as well make it absolutely official. "So, you are saying that you're fine with leaving a helpless baby wet and cold? Even though you're being paid good money to take care of that baby?"

Sammy's response was quick "Pretty much."

Saying nothing more Alex picked up his little brother and headed into the back bedroom. He laid Morgan on the changing mat and then fetched his diaper bag. Despite his early words to Sammy the older coyote had a good deal of experience in changing Morgan. Within a minute Morgan was dry and good to go.

As soon as Morgan was taken care of the older coyote reached under the bed and pulled out an ornate golden box. Removing the lid revealed two small onyx obelisks resting inside. He took one obelisk in each paw and placed them parallel to each other on the far side of the bed.

Alex's yellow eyes began to faintly glow. "Alright lil' bro, that was strike three, he's out."

Alex picked up Morgan and carried him to the obelisks, placing the baby in between them. Alex carefully guided Morgan's paw to the corresponding obelisk. Once they were secure in Morgan's paws Alex gave Morgan some instructions. "Okay Morgan, help me out and charge these, you just need to let your energy flow into them. Once they are ready I'll get Sammy in here and we can wrap things up."

The baby coyote gave his older brother a smile. Morgan's eyes began softly glowing as he allowed a pool of psychic energy to flow out of his tiny body and into the awaiting conduits. Meanwhile, Alex stealthily exited the room, returning to the dining room without Sammy ever detecting him.

Alex waited five minutes before looking through his brother eyes. He saw that Morgan was finished charging the obelisks. In fact, he was now drooling on them while trying to place them in his mouth. The older coyote wasn't surprised, he might be a Bright Eye, but he was still just a baby.

Taking an old flip phone out of his pocket Alex began poking away at the keys. He carefully selected the letters until the text message was complete. "He's out, call his mom."

After sending the text Alex performed a few leg stretching exercises before falling into a crouching position. The older coyote stayed silent in his crouching position for nearly ten seconds. Without warning he jolted forward, racing towards the den.

Still lounging on the couch Sammy half-watched the television; since he sent Alex to bed he had nothing to do now except wait for the night to end. "Just a few more hours of this and I can take my money and go home. Ugh, I'm never letting mom talk me into babysitting again, no matter how good the pay is. I just can't stand children."

Before the German shepherd had a chance to continue his lamentation he was interrupted. Running up from behind Alex grabbed Sammy's prized collar and tugged as hard as he could. The sudden choking sensation caused Sammy to let out a loud 'GLK' sound. Instinctively Sammy jolted himself forward, trying to get out of the choke.

Hastily turning around to see what choked him Sammy was greeted by Alex's grinning face. "Wha...What the heck kid?!"

Alex said nothing; the little coyote simply stuck his tongue out as far as he could at the German shepherd before sprinting into the back bedroom and slamming the door shut. Livid with what just transpired Sammy angrily followed the coyote down the hall. Throwing the door to the back bedroom open once he arrived.

Sammy found Alex waiting on the far side of the room. The coyote was still wearing an ear-to-ear grin. The German shepherd began to slowly stomp forward, trying to look as intimidating as he could. Despite his efforts Alex continued grinning.

Feeling rage boiling inside him Sammy summoned his sternest tone. "Alex! Come here right now!" He shouted out.

Alex stood still and kept grinning. "Nah, I don't feel like it."

"Come over here now! Or you're in big trouble!" Sammy shouted again.

Alex began cackling. "Why don't you come over here and make me?"

Gritting his teeth the German Shepherd raised his arms up as he drew closer to the pup. His eyes stayed locked on Alex's as he tried to invoke a primal fear in the pup. Sammy's intimidation tactic served Alex well. Since he was locked onto the coyote pup he didn't see the faint glow the two obelisks were beginning to give off.

When he was just inches away from Alex the German shepherd gave the pup a wicked grin. "Alright you, it's time to...MEEP!"

Before he could finish his threat a thick purple light extended from both obelisks and encased the German Shepherd. His body began to rapidly shrink. Sammy's eyes quickly turned from anger to fear as he saw the coyote pup that he once towered over was now looking down on him.

Giving the now tiny German shepherd a wicked grin of his own Alex began to speak. "ahhh.. That face when it first happens. It makes it all worth it!"

A panicked Sammy began to look around rapidly, trying to figure out what was going on. The only thing he was sure of is that everything in the room was much bigger now. "WHA... WHADJADOTOME?!" he blurted out.

Alex ignored the German Shepherd's cry. "Morgan! Come over here! You've got a new baby friend to play with!"

The baby coyote waddled towards his brother from the other side of the bed. Upon spotting the now-shrunken Sammy his face lit up and he exclaimed. "BABY!"

Despite the fact that he was now eye-to-eye with Morgan the German shepherd refused to believe what he was hearing. "Stop this! Both of you! I'm in charge here!"

With a smug stride in his step Alex walked past the two little puppies and shut the door, revealing a mirror hanging on the rear side. Sammy's eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped in disbelief at what he saw. Not only had he shrunk, but his apparel had changed too. His favorite shoes were now a pair of blue baby booties. His prized purple collar was still present, but the tag on the front had morphed into a pacifier.

His Dark green long pants were now a pair of loose fitting shorts. While his shirt still bore the trademark frownie face it no longer extended over his waist line. It was now neatly tucked into his shorts. Finally, and worst of all, he could feel that his boxers were different, before they had been barely noticeable. Now they felt bulky and cumbersome, they were actually causing his legs to spread apart slightly, and whenever he moved, even a little, a distinct crinkling sound came from his lower section.

Seeing himself like this was too much for the German shepherd. Fighting off a wave of tears he turned his attention to the older coyote. "Change me back! NOW!" His demand was met with laughter.

Alex pointed his finger at the puppy, and began shouting, mocking Sammy's now squeaky voice. "NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!" the coyote shouted out, each impression more insulting than the last.

Alex looked down towards the floor. "why on earth would I change you back?" he looked up again, his eyes meeting with Sammy's they were glowing an unnatural yellow. "This is where the fun really starts!"

Giving Sammy a downright evil grin Alex lifted his right paw into the air. Placing his thumb against his middle finger the coyote's entire paw began to emit a soft luminescent aura, a small wisp of light formed on the tips of his fingers. Once he snapped his fingers the wisp surged off with incredible speed, it flew directly towards Sammy. Illuminating the former teen's whole body as it collided with him.

Sammy stood absolutely still, his mind still trying to process what he was seeing. Before he could even come close to an explanation a familiar urge welled up inside of him. His bladder began aching badly. The sensation had never been this intense before. Unable to bear the pressure Sammy cute loose and began flooding his pants.

In response to the loud hissing sound Morgan cheered. "PEE PEE!"

Alex began emitting an evil laugh. He was enjoying every second of poor Sammy's judgment. As for Sammy himself, the former teen could do nothing but stand still, shocked and horrified at what Alex had just forced him to do. The German shepherd tried to speak, but could only bring forth a muffled cough sound.

Wanting to pile on the pain Alex pointed at Sammy and shouted at the top of his lungs. "HE PEED HIS PANTS! WHAT A BABY!" Afterwards he continued cackling manically, his laughter spreading to his little brother.

Despite everything Sammy clung to the idea that ultimately, he was in charge. Despite a strong urge to cry building in his chest the German shepherd shakily began walking forward, talking as he moved. "You better stop Alex! Or I'll... I'll"

In a split second Alex stopped laughing. Once again, his glowing eyes locked with Sammy's. The older coyote began speaking, but his speech was directed away from Sammy. "Hey... Morgan... He's a really big baby for peeing in his pants. Don't you think?"

The younger coyote happily answered. "YAH!"

"But isn't there something else that little babies do in their pants?" Alex said, his tone becoming more devious with each word.

Between a fit of giggles Morgan managed to blurt out another "YAH!"

"Oh, really? Can you remind me exactly what else little babies do in their pants? You are an expert on this, after all." With that comment Alex raised his paw into the air again, a small light appearing above his now pressed thumb and index finger.

Sammy walked backwards, trying in vain to escape the feeling of impending doom.

Morgan looked towards Sammy. As soon as their eyes met the baby coyote gave the baby German shepherd the most innocent smile he could muster before throwing his little arms in the air and yelling "POOPIE!"

As soon as his baby brother spoke Alex snapped his fingers and the wisp of light darted towards Sammy. Time seemed to slow down for the little German shepherd. He could see the wisp, darting back and forth as it made its way towards him. He let out a shriek as the wisp collided with his body, briefly covering him in a pale aura.

Almost immediately Sammy's fear was confirmed. His colon cried out with a pained groan as his stomach turned itself in a knot. The German shepherd's tail flagged upwards as he squatted down. Sammy could feel that resistance was futile. The only thing he could do was try not to think about what was happening as he began to mess his diaper.

After a few seconds of evacuation his bowels calmed down, and the mess completely settled in the seat of his diaper. A few more seconds later the awful smell hit the German shepherd's nose. It almost more than he could bear, he began to sniffle as tears slowly began to roll down his cheeks.

Despite to impending cry and the smell Alex walked towards Sammy. The coyote gave a mischievous grin before speaking. "Hey Sammy... You know how earlier you said you don't do diapers? Well... It looks like... YOU DOO-DOO DIAPERS!" With that the older coyote threw himself on the bed, laughing harder than he had ever laughed before.

It was too much for Sammy to bear, the horrible pun was the final nail in the coffin. Sammy threw his head up, "grrr..wah..WHa...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" the new puppy began wailing at the top of his lungs, Tears racing down his face.

For the next five minutes Alex flailed around on the bed, laughing wildly. His little brother joining in with the glee, filling the room with baby laughs. Sammy, on the other hand, continued wailing like a siren. It didn't really matter; at this point nothing Alex could say or do would make the German shepherd feel any better. At least, that's what he thought.

"AHA...HAHA...AHAHAHA... Oh my God! This is the best night of my life!"Alex exclaimed. "Ha...But you're... starting to... Ha... Stink this place up pretty bad... It's time to... Heh... Finish." With that, Alex snapped his fingers, a wisp of light jolting away from them like before.

When the wisp hit Sammy he was instantly overcome with a feeling of vertigo. The light in the room began blinding, and the former teen found himself unable to think anything beyond the most basic of thoughts. The urge to cry left him; he couldn't even remember why he was upset.

As the sense of vertigo left Sammy began looking around the room. He saw a tall coyote walking towards him, he felt like he knew the coyote, but couldn't really remember. The coyote bent over and grabbed Sammy, hoisting him up into the air. The swift movement caused a surge of joy to rush through the puppy, and he gave a small giggle.

"Who's the stinkiest wittle puppy in the whole wide world? You are! Yes you are!" the coyote said in a funny tone. Sammy continued to giggle, he liked this coyote; he was lots of fun!

Alex gently laid Sammy on the changing mat, pulling down his shorts revealed the lower half of Sammy's frownie face shirt had transformed into a nice, comfortable onsie. "Gah! I shoulda pulled your pants down before finishing you off! You're face woulda been priceless!" the coyote exclaimed.

Alex faithfully changed Sammy's diaper. Afterwards he ushered the two babies into the den, immediately changing the channel from 'boring high school drama crap' to fun cartoons. Both Morgan and Sammy sat on the carpet, while their babysitter, Alex, kept a careful vigil from the couch.

After an hour the hyena returned home and entered through the house's side door. Wasting no time the hyena began talking. "So, he struck out pretty early huh?"

"Yep" Alex replied.

"Heh, babysitter to babysat... I love it." The hyena spoke as he laid his bag down near the kitchen.

"Yep" Alex replied again.

"You've been taking good care of the little cutie, I hope." The hyena said as he entered the den.

"Of course! I'm a great babysitter" Alex said, his voice dripping with self-satisfaction.

Sitting down on the couch next to Alex the hyena let out a sigh. "Well, his mom is gonna be here to pick him up any minute now. "

Alex stood up, walked over to Sammy, and picked the puppy up. While cradling him the older coyote lamented. "Aww, we were having so much fun too! Do you think I'll get to babysit little Sammy again?"

The hyena threw his head back and gave out a chuckle. "Maybe in fifteen or so years."

Sure enough, five minutes later a set of headlights came up the driveway. Soon after the doorbell rang, and Alex answered; he swung open the door, revealing Sammy's mother standing on the porch with an anxious expression. Before she could say anything Alex proudly announced "everything went according to plan."

As she walked into the house Sammy's mother spotted her formerly-teen son sitting on the rug watching cartoons. She quickly walked over to the puppy and picked him up. As Sammy felt himself lifting off the floor he turned his head upwards. Seeing his mother's face the German shepherd puppy gave a huge smile before shouting. "Mommy!"

"You ready to go home? Little guy?" she asked in a soothing voice.

Sammy began to nod his head, and his mother softly wrapped him in one arm, patting him on the head with her free paw. "Do you wanna say goodbye to your babysitter first?"

Sammy quickly nodded his head again, and then he turned to Alex. Giving the older coyote a smile and a wave Sammy shouted out. "Bye bye babysitter!"

Alex returned Sammy's smile and his wave. "Bye Sammy! Have a nice life!"
