I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 207

Ozzy decided to go explore with the pets, patting his side to make them follow before he headed out the room. He wanted down the hall, looking in rooms not taken up by the viruses, wondering where everything was.

*there was a store room, n a few other rooms tht looked like guestrooms, 2 bathrooms with working plumbing, n dwnstairs was the spacious living room with a fireplc, a sorta game room, with no hunting game trophies on the walls, somehow, n the kitchen where Thrax was getting busy, another storage room, n a bathroom, then it was the bkyard where all the wood was out n Rouge was collecting a few tht had already been chopped*

Ozzy soon found himself outside the back, noticing Rouge picking up some of the wood. Setting up a fire? Well, it was bound to get cold when night came. He picked up a smaller stick, waving it at Nessie before tossing it. "Go fetch boy!"

Nessie: *yapped as he chased aftr the stick, picked it up n brought it bk to his Mommy, wagging his tail happily*

"Haha, you like? Ya wanna play then? Come on." Ozzy took the stick off him, teasing him with it, making him jump for it before he tossed it further.

Nessie: *jumped for the stick, barking happily before his Mommy threw it further. Chasing aftr the stick, he suddenly fell headlong dwn a manhole, yelping in surprise*

Ozzy's eyes widened before he rushed after him, looking down the hole. "Nessie? Are you okay? Nessie!?"

*it was pretty dark n deep, n the dog couldnt be seen, bt Nessie's barks n loud pitter-patter n scratching of the earth could be heard, so it seemed like he was alright*

"Oh, thank Frank..." he breathed out before he looked around. Damn it, how was he going to get him out? He could stretch, but he doubted he could lift him out, he was a big dog now.

Rouge: *just finished giving Thrax his firewood n saw Oz flustered abt at the manhole n came up to him* Doushita, Oz to-chan? Daijobu ka?

Ozzy jumped and looked up, looking rather distressed. "Nessie fell down, I don't know how to get him back up." he said, sitting back on his knees.

Rouge: Nandayo? Where did this manhole come frm? Sa, move aside. Allow me *pinched his nose n blew at it for a while, bt instead of actually trying to blow his nose, its more like the more he blew, the longer his hair grew. Once it was a considerable length, he released his nose n took out his pocket torchlight n shone dwn until he could see the dog, then his hair came to life, wrapped ard the dog into a sort of hammock n carried him outta the hole* Hora! Daijobu desu yo, inu-chan~!

Ozzy stared in awe as his hair grew, his eyes wide as it also came to life. "What the..." he mumbled, peeking into the man hole as he easily lifted Nessie back out with his hair. "Woah..."

Rouge: A-ra? U've nvr seen this before? Oh, right, nvr reli used it. Heh, its part of the powers tht I somehow got frm my adoptive family. Only I can do it. Rodeo can't. He tried, bt it just couldnt work. Tht's the only way to be able to differentiate the both of us

"Wow, so... is it like... really strong and stuff?" Ozzy asked, hugging Nessie close and petting him, making sure he was okay.

Rouge: *grins* Strong enough to do this *his hair came alive again n wrapped ard Oz's waist n it carried him a few feet up, him n Nessie along with it*

Ozzy gasped out, his eyes widening in surprise as he gripped at the hair. "H-hey! What the hell!" he called out, squirming around. "Y-you're going to drop me!"

Rouge: Daijobu, daijobu, my hair is reli strong. I wont drop u, heiki ne (its alright), heiki *lowers the cell n the dog bk dwn to the ground* Sa, nothing to it, ne?

Ozzy shuddered a little, grumbling and glaring a little up at him. "Ugh, you ass. You could of at least warned me!" he groaned and brushed the hair off him.

Rouge: U wanted to knw how strong it is, so I'm showing it to u, ne *stuck his tongue out at him, then pinched his nose again n did the same thing, only the hair moved in reverse as it crawled bk to the original shoulder-length hair he had*

Thrax: *poked his head out the window* Soup's on, baby. Get it before it gets cold~

Ozzy huffed at him, nudging him before getting the pets to follow as he headed back inside to go eat.
