A Dog Named Bullet Chapter 5

The next day, as me and Star were eating our breakfast, came our new 'parents' to bring us to our new home. Linda sat on our bed and started stroking Stars back as she was still eating her meal and purred at the touch. Pete stood at the door with his 'I don't care' look.

"Had you two good sleep?" asked Linda with a smile. "Mhm. I hfaf a fife dfeam!" answered Star accidently with her mouth full.

"Sweetie? Remember your manners." I said and booped her on her nose. Star gulped the remaining food down and smiled sheepishly at me and said: "Sorry, Bullet. But I actually had a nice dream. I dreamed about mommy and she said, everything will be alright and that, some day, I will see her again."

I was a bit shocked at hearing this and looked confused to Linda. She looked also confused but seems to have some kind of idea where this dream came from.

After Star finished her meal, we prepared our leave. A Doctor came in and got the cast of from my leg and arm and gave my 'parents' the permission to took me home. I took the 'collar' I had made from a belt from the side table and put it on before we left the hospital and entered the parking lot. We got to a silver SUV and 'dad' opened the doors for us to enter.

"Nice car." I said.

"If you hair on the seats, you walk home." said 'dad'.

"Love you, too dad." I said sarcastic.

The drive home was short and 10 minutes later we could see our new home. It was a nice, two story house with a nice veranda and a big garden in the back. A dog, who seems to be on a walk with his owner, watched as 'dad' parked the car on the driveway and we exited the car. The man came over and greeted our parents and introduced himself and his dog: "Hello. My name is Jake, and this is Joey. You must be the new family that is moving in. Nice to meet you."

'Dad' took his hand and shook it while introducing us. "Hello. Yes, we are the new neighbors here. I'm Pete Welsh. And this is my sister, Linda Welsh." 'Mom' also shook his hand and continued the introduction: "And these are our Pets. Bullet and Star. I'm sure we will all get along just fine."

I moved forward to greet Joey, with Star standing behind me. "Hello. As you heard, I'm Bullet, and this here is Star." I said and gestured with a paw to Star. Her head poking out from behind me and she said: "Hello!" before she ducked back behind me.

I chuckled at her timid behavior and looked back to Joey who seemed a bit confused himself. "She is a bit shy around strangers. But a great kid." Joey smiled and said: "No problem. It's always a bit scary to move to a new place. Hey! Do you like Role-playing? My friends and I have a Playgroup for D&D."

"Really? I love role-playing. But I'm a bit out of touch with the resent rules. When you have no problem with answering lot of questions, I would love to join." I said and was happy to actually seem to make some friends so fast. I looked back to Star and petted her head while asking: "What do you think, Star? Would you like to join as well?" I looked back to Joey and asked: "That wouldn't be a problem when she is coming too, right? She would play with me together."

Joey thought about that for a moment and then said: "Well, I would have to ask the others, but I think it would be alright."

I smiled and bowed a little to him while saying: "Arigatō."

Joey's eyes widened and he asked: "W... was that... Japanese?"

Still smiling, I answered: "Yes. I'm actually a big anime fan and learned it to understand the original series without subtitle."

"That's really awesome. Lester, one of my friends, is an anime-fan himself. But I must warn you, he is more like a "fandumb" in physical form." Joey explained.

"I'm sure we can get along. So, when is the next meeting of the group?" I asked.

"We have Thursday today. The next one is on Saturday. We always meet at the weekend and at another place. Sometimes we even stay overnight. This time, it's over at my house. I will come over and pick you up when it's time. Is that alright?" He said. I nodded and we shook hands.

"Until Saturday then. I will not have much time to walk around the neighborhood, since I must help with the moving in and preparing mine and Star's room."

"I understand. Good luck with your moving in and I'm sure you will make lot of friends here. We are a really friendly community." said Joey and continued his walk with his owner.

"Alright guys!" said 'mom' with enthusiasm. "How about I make us some snacks until the truck with all our stuff comes here and we can start with the unpacking."

"Sounds good to me. I'm starving." said 'dad' and we all followed 'mom' in our new home.

I wonder how long it will take me to actually think of them as 'mom' and 'dad' without trouble.

Sorry that this chapter is a bit shorter as the others, but I must really continue with my other stories as well. In case you haven't noticed, I uploaded a new one called "A Displaced Pink Space Cat" and is about a guy who get's turned into a Mew and then thrown in another universe. And it's not the Pokemon universe^^
