I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 77

Ozzy smiled and rolled his eyes at the pup before starting the shower up. Letting the water warm up, he slowly stripped off the robe. "Going to shower with me, eh, Ness?"

Nessie: *yapped happily, totally wanting to bath with his Mommy*

Ozzy laughed before he picked up the pup and climbed in the shower, setting the pup down under the spray, standing under it himeslf.

Nessie: *opened his mouth n let the water sprinkle dwn his tongue n fill up his mouth before drooling them all out, then yapped n ran circles ard Oz's ankles, enjoying the pitter-patter of the spray*

Ozzy laughed and shook his head, grabbing the soap and starting to scrub his body. "Damn boy, it's like you had sugar!"

Nessie: *yapped, he was just having fun, tho the spaztic attitude of the twins seemed to hv rubbed off on him*

Ozzy grinned some and rolled his eyes. "You idiot... I need to keep you away from those damned twins." he mumbled and chuckled before he knelt on the floor, starting to scrub the pup's body with the soap.

Nessie: *purred at being scrubbed. snapping at the bubbles tht floated abt him*

Ozzy laughed and shook his head at his silly puppy, scrubbing his back and butt before moving to scrub his belly and legs. "Damn Nessie, you're so dirty... you haven't had a good wash in a while..." he mumbled.

Nessie: *yapped n panted, his tongue hanging low, lucky for Oz, he's one of those odd one out dogs tht loved baths*

Ozzy laughed and leaned over, kissing his nose. "Spaz..." he mumbled before washing off the soap from his body. "Much better... now you don't smell as bad." he said before getting up, starting to wash himself.

Nessie: *ran ard in circles again at Oz's ankles, occasionally tripping n either landing on his butt or his head, bt got right bk up n continued circling again*

Ozzy shook his head again and soon was washing his own hair. Cleaning himself of all soap and shampoo, he soon turned off the water and climbed out the shower, grabbing a towel to wrap around his waist. "Come on, Nessie." he said, reaching in and grabbing the pup, wrapping a towel around him and carrying him into the room.

Nessie: *nuzzled into the towel he was wrapped in, tugging at it n growling, play fighting with it*

Ozzy laughed again and shook his head, soon setting Nessie on the bed before sitting beside him, starting to rub the pup dry. "You'd such a good boy, Ness... maybe I should take you out for a walk, eh? Want to go explore, huh? Do ya?" he said, talking almost baby like as he rolled the pup over, rubbing his belly.

Nessie: *let out a dog purr as he let his Mommy give him a belly rub, then looked up at him, giving him the "Is Daddy coming?" look*

"Heh... Daddy is busy right now... maybe later." Ozzy said softly before getting to his feet and moving to dry himself off and getting dressed.

Nessie: *whined at the thought of his Daddy not joining them, bt was happy either way tht they were going for a walk*

"Aw, don't worry Nessie... Daddy will come next time, okay?" Ozzy told him, smiling softly, before he looked around. Grabbing the tie from the robe, he gently tied it around Nessie's neck. "There we go, let's go!" he said before walking out.

Nessie: *yapped n almost tugged at the makeshift leash, making his way out into the open n probably going to the verge of dragging Oz*

Ozzy stumbled after the pup, laughing. "Calm down, Ness, we have plenty of time!" he insisted, holding the makeshift leash tightly.

Nessie: *whined as he wanted to just run, bt with the leash on, he'll just hv to be a good boy n slowed dwn a little, stopping at every shop to peer at the windows, his front paws on the sill*

"What you found, Ness?" Ozzy asked each time he stopped, looking into the windows with him, wondering what could of been so interesting.

Nessie: *It wasnt anything particularly interesting, it's just the fact tht he was actually given a proper walk like a pet should n enjoying the sights on his own tht was reli the catch*

Ozzy smiled before carrying on walking. "Come on Ness..." he said softly as he walked along, looking around. "Hm... I wonder if we can find a park..." he mumbled, wanting to be able to let Nessie be able to play.

Nessie: *just so happen to pass by a pet shop n saw puppies n kitties for sale, n peered in with his paws up again, yapped at the accessort section where they sold leashes n stuff*

Ozzy blinked and peeked in. "Aww... how cute... look at the little puppies and kitties. Thrax would never let me have another though..." he mumbled and pouted softly. "You want to go in, eh?" he said, smiling before leading him in.

Nessie: *yapped, wagging his tail happily as he was led in*

Ozzy smiled and petted the pup before he began wandering around the store, looking at the pets. "So cute!" he said, pouting more.

Nessie: *wandered ard as well, sniffing at all the new pets, getting a variety of responses frm them, bt he was utterly interested in the kittens at display*

Ozzy blinked as he watched the pup, smiling when he didn't growl at them. "What have you found, boy?" he asked, moving over to him and kneeling down as the kittens mewled and slowly came over to investigate the puppy.

Nessie: *caught sight of a germ kitty tht seemed to stand out among the rest in terms of size. For starters it was a teeny little thing compared to the other kitties n was not like other kitties mewing for attention, bt its button eyes screamed for attention*

Ozzy blinked, noticing two and smiling. "How cute... so small..." he said softly, reaching out to gently pick the kitten up, holding it close to his chest and petting it softly. "You poor thing... I bet you don't get much attention, do ya?"

*the kitten purred n nuzzled onto the cell's chest, wanting to be taken away*

Nessie: *yapped n gave Oz the puppy eyes as well, as if saying "Can we keep 'em? Can we keep 'em?"*

Ozzy pouted, nuzzling the cute kitten. "I really do want to, Ness... but I don't have any money..." he said, holding the kitten close and petting it softly.

Shop attendant: *approaches Oz. Like all animal cities, animal cells hv a sort of trait tht relates to the city they were in, n for this dog city, he had the same straight-up ears like the dog he resides in, minus the tail*

Ozzy kissed the kitten's nose, pouting cutely at the kitten. "Oh, I want to take you home so bad!" he whined.

Shop attendant: *comes up to Oz with a helpful professional smile* Can I help u with something there, sir?

Ozzy blinked and looked up at the man, pouting up at the cell and shaking his head. "Unfortunately... just looking..." he said and sighed softly.

Shop attendant: U seemed to be attached to our kitten runt. Why not purchase her? She's been there quite a while n no one wants her. I'll sell it to u at a fraction of her usual price

"She really is cute... and my pup likes her, too... but... I don't have any money..." Ozzy said and pouted softly, watching Nessie yap and sniff at the kitten curiously.

Nessie: *pawed at Oz's pocket where his wallet was, trying to remind him tht he has his platinum card*

Shop attendant: *sees it* U knw, we do accept all major credit cards. I've got a feeling she's good in ur hands

Ozzy blinked a few times, his wallet falling out of his pocket. "Wha... oh, I remember now! I still have that!" he said, grinning a little and grabbing up his wallet and looking for the card. "I think there's still something on this." he said, getting to his feet with the kitten. "Oh, she's going to need a little bell collar... hm... a little mouse toy... oh, and this... that... oh, and we can get this for you Ness!" he said, getting the pup a collar and leash and a chew bone.

Nessie: *yapped happily, running circles ard both Oz n the shop attendant's ankles, happy to get new toys n also a new friend*

Shop attendant: *chuckles* Lively little fella, aint ya? Well, since u hv a credit card, then we'd be happy to accomodate anyway u want

Ozzy smiled at the shop attendant, nodding. "Thank you very much!" he said, pulling everything in a basket as he picked out treats and shut, setting the small kitten on the floor. "Nessie, you look after her, okay?" he said before he continued to wander around at all the stuff.

Nessie: *nodded, then captured the kitten btwn his paws, nuzzling her n licking her head as if to clean her*

The kitten mews softly, seeming a little scared at first before she sat between his paw, watching the cell collect stuff for them. "There, done!" Ozzy said, moving to the counter. He had gotten proper food for the two of them, noticing Nessie was getting chubby from all the normal food.

Nessie: *heard his Mommy saying "Done" n carried the kitten by the scruff of the neck, making his way towards Oz, tho the counter was too tall for him to put his front paws up*

Ozzy smiled down at Nessie as the Cashire scanned his items before he handed over his card. "Wow, I thought it was going to be alot more..."

Cashier: *scanned everything n named the price before accepting the credit card, swiped it n gave it bk* There. All done. Thank u for shopping Evergreen Pet Store *gives him the professional smile*

Ozzy smiled happily and picked up all the stuff. "Thank you!" he said happily before headout out. "Come on Nessie, bring your friend."

Nessie: *made a happy noise since he still had the kitten in his mouth n walked side by side with his Mommy*

Ozzy giggled and smiled softly, shaking his head before he made his way back to the hotel they had been in.

*before the cell evn made it to his room, the twins zoomed out of their room at upon smelling his scent n glomped him*

Twins: Oz to-chan~!!! *glomp* Where have u been ne~?! Thrax ottoto-chan was going to kill us if we dont find u~!!

Ozzy eyes widened as the twins drived at him, causing him to fall back on his butt, his bag dropping to the ground and spilling out the stuff he bought. "A-ah!" he gasped, wincing and groaning.

Twins: A-ra? *sees all the things he spilled* U went to a pet store desho?

Nessie: *whined at his Mommy falling on his butt, then growled at the twins for making his Mommy fall, all the while the kitten still in his mouth*

Twins: *sees the kitten n took it frm Nessie* YAA~!!! NEKO-CHAN~!!! KAWAII~!!!

"I... took Nessie for a walk..." Ozzy mumbled softly before blinking. "Hey, that's Nessie's friend!" he said, watching the pup whine as his new friend was taken from him. "And calm down, you're going to scare her..."

Twins: *nuzzled the little kitten for all its worth* Can we keep her? Huh? Huh? Can we keep neko-chan?? We'll feed her n bathe her n stroke her n dress her in pretty clothes n...

Thrax: Wht's all tht racket? Hv u found Oz yet? *sees Oz n came up to him* Where hv u been? I was worried abt u, baby

Ozzy blinked in surprise and pouted before sighing softly. "I guess so..." he mumbled, moving onto his hands and knees, starting to pick up all his stuff. "Huh?" he looked up, smiling a little. "Nessie wanted to go for a walk..."

Thrax: *sees the leash* Ah, for the mutt... *wraps the collar n leash ard Oz's neck playfully* Or for u?

Twins: *whooped n whistled at them playfully*

Ozzy blinked in surprise before flushing deeply as he sat up on his knees, whining. "I am not a pet." he huffed, pouting before glaring at the twins. "Shut up you two!"

Twins: *laughs n bounded off with the kitten, totally spaztic ovr her*
