THE Cockapoo decided to have a little stroll with her old buddy Zuma down-town. Everyone else were busy doing their own thing, especially Chase and Rocky who are on a mission, something about Cap'n Turbott finding his steering wheel being broken. So Chase's expertise in searching for the doer, and Rocky's amazing skills in fixing things. . . They were both called on duty. "Thanks for coming with me Zuma" Skye thanked "No pwoblem! I honestly do miss hanging out with you and all" he smiles as they walk down the town to simply unwind and let fate work its way around to let them strike a conversation. The Cockapoo giggles and sighs, she realized how time flew fast past them all. It was just like yesterday she just met everyone "Remember that time at Farmer Yumi?" She asks as her eyes looked at him, the Lab laughed "You mean the time whewe we need to harvest all the crops before the weather ruins it? Yeah!" The duo shared fits of laughter at remembering one of their pasts together "Your legs ached the whole night!" Skye added in tears as she continues to laugh hysterically "I think I was silently the whole night" then says "But you kept wubbing it in my face you felt fine" he rolls his eyes at the thought of her being much more immune than him. The two of them, alone, were a laughing machine. By just throwing out old memories on the line, and especially the embarrassing ones, nobody can help but laugh at it, you can actually already consider them crying with fits of laughter escaping their system.
The sun was very warm today, a perfect day to have picnics and such. Flowers of all kinds of variety were much more vibrant with the sun-rays hitting them, as if finishing them off professionally with a painter's magic touch. Grasses that could tower everyone remained lush and pure green, insects continues to thrive in a flora-world to propagate flowers and fruits. The animals sun-bathing happily under the midnight sun, and some graze on the alreasy prepared grass for them to munch on. But as the duo carried their way to everywhere yet at the same time, nowhere; Skye felt a sudden chill and stopped to look at her surroundings. Zuma stopped as well when he heard her stop laughing, he peeked right through Skye and questions "Why are you looking at that house?" He says, as a fine structure with white walls, a purple roof, adorned with a bush full of flowers, windows had outside shutters, it looks like a home. . . But none of them were quite sure if it would fall into that category. "Oh hey, look! That woman has a dog too!" Zuma points out. Skye obviously knows that there is a woman in her yard and is obviously playing with her dog to their hearts content. But for Skye, that is not the case.
"Why can't you be like them?" Olivia asks. Skye and her beloved owner were in the bleachers, waiting for the winners to be announced, and in the mean time, they wait in their seats. "Y-you mean, our training weren't enough?" Skye questions "You're just lacking of energy Skye. Maybe if you burst into. . . I dunno, energy? I'm sure we'll definitely win, but right now? It's a fifty-fifty" the Cockapoo became lonelier that she hadn't exactly satisfied Olivia's happiness "Skye, what happened to you? You've been sluggish lately!" She whispered-yelled at her "I. . . Don't know. . . What do we do?" Her eyes skimmed up to her face, and her expression was something sour. . . More annoyed. Olivia sighs in irritation "Then we'll have to train harder"

Skye laid on her bed, the peace of the house drowned her to a weary state. She tried to battle it as she waits for Olivia to get back, hoping they'll get onto their training soon. If they don't, the nagging voices in her head will soon just grow. "Sigh. . ." She tossed and tossed herself into a much more comfortable position, she couldn't quite contain herself. As seconds become minutes, the distant noise that came from outside became louder and louder. What made things confusing was, she just doesn't hear Olivia's voice. . . But also a dog's bark.
The door burts open and a Border Collie with gold and white fluffy fur rushes in with excitement. He has a neck-collar tag painted in a noticeable hue of mint-green, and a golden disc dangled from it and its name was engraved to it. Her eyes squinted and it read "Flicker". Skye looked down and found that they both have a collar except hers was in a darker green hue, and by the looks of it, Olivia seems to have adopted another dog. Skye doesn't mind and were glad to have a new buddy in this home. Skye and Flicker bonded together like they were two peas in a pod. But soon, Skye noticed something that she didn't realize sooner. Olivia trained Flicker more than her and soon felt like she was just a complete nuisance. She'd give her a stare when she'd come join her and her brother out to play - which actually was training. Skye came into conclusion was, she's being replaced by Flicker, and yet again, something she doesn't mind.
«———❁✿❁———»
"Hey you two! We're going camping!" Olivia announces, and both two dogs bounced happily at the news "Skye! We can go chase around the camp grounds! And we can go on a mountain too!" Flicker exclaims in excitement "And we can see cool views from up there!" The Cockapoo adds "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go you two!!" Olivia gestures the two to hop in her car. Young Skye couldn't wait to see where they'll be heading off to. Nowadays, her going somewhere is quite rare as Olivia is usually focused on training Flicker, but maybe today's different? "Are you excited sis?" Flicker questions as he tackles her back down to the couch "Yeah!" She giggles, not helping to refrain her self from not laughing. But then, the car suddenly halted and cause Flicker to loose his balance and fell to the floor, Skye took a peek at him "I'm fine" he laughs the situation off as he climbs back up the seat again to shake the dust off. Olivia then opened the back door, and with no hesitation, both of them had jumoed out of the vehicle and had jumped around her feet - all giddy, as they patiently await for Olivia to finish picking up her stuff. When she was all set, she gave the two a grin and had shut the trunk door.
The two barked happily as they race to the top "I'm gonna beat you shorty!" The golden-white Border Collie teases in between breaths as air rushes at him "Don't underestimate me Flicks!" Skye yells back, trying her best to not blink to avoid herself from tripping in any pebbles. Once they've reached the top, a grand view was held before them "Woah. . . Look at this cool view!" Skye breathes out in awe "Yeah! It's nice of Olivia to let us go to the mountain before setting up our tent" Skye nodded at Flicker's statement in affirmation "Ooh! I'm gonna find a stick for us to play with!" He says as he ran off farther from where Skye stood. She smiles at him then wandered around a bit to breathe in the wonder sightings she found. It was a new kind of view she's seeing from the usual one. Normally she was a part of the view, but now, everything looks so small and she's out of the painting.
"Woah. . ." She says in awe, she closed her eyes and allowed the cool breeze to rush over her. It was a surreal feeling, she felt like she was flying with the wind going east. She was going to open her eyes when she then found herself tumbling down the mountain. The last thing she saw was Olivia and her satisfied smile when her own appearance was soon fading along with the forest that will envelope her. Nothing in her eyes says she worries for her safety. Nothing in her eyes says she's at fault. Nothing in her eyes says it's an accident. Nothing but satisfaction at the sight of her being finally gone.
"Hello~? Eawth to Skye?" Zuma waves a paw over her eyes, Skye blinked away the last remnants of what had flashed in her head "Awe you okay?" The concerned Chocolate Lab questions at the sudden trance she was in. Shaking her head to completely loose the bad memories she had, she nodded to reassure Zuma that she's fine. "But we should really go, I heard Mr.Porter got a new treat flavor!" Skye says, Zuma seems to like the idea so he agreed to come.
"Skye?" Someone calls her name.
