-Echo looked around the junkyard before taking a tiny bite of what was left of the hot dog. The mutt padded along the streets, avoiding the feet that lashed out at her as she passed. Often enough, she sped past them, and only when they grazed her fur did she turn and snap. Other times, she just cowered away. As Echo padded around a corner, she saw Dusk, Dawn, Impulse, and the pet that was stuck at the top of a light pole in the junkyard just yesterday. Echo ran up to them and noticed their tiredness.- "What happened?"
"Conciliation." -Ember stood atop a trash can at the end of the alley. The she-cat sat down and licked her paw.- "Dogs are becoming cat's friends." -She sneered and glanced at Impulse.- "I thought different of you. When I had first seen you in the Junkyard, you were dissing your little friend there." -She pointed towards Dawn with her forepaw before bringing it back up to her mouth and rasping her tongue over it.-
((Ember= stalker kitteh. Btw, I fixed Ember's pic.))

Dusk looked up at the cat "Watch your words" he growled through clenched teeth. "If you don't like what you see leave" he said turning to Echo. "Impulse helped me, nothing more, nothing less"

Impulse turned and snarled at the cat who had implied that she was helping the pet.
"I don't need an opinion from a f*cking two faced piece of shi-" She paused and tilted her head, her floppy ears perking, "Echo?" Impulse growled lowly, rolling her eyes.
"Listen here you piece of crap. I saw the furball," She gestured with one paw toward Dusk, "Getting roughed up by a dog-catcher. I hate humans, I hate cats. I wasn't helping the cat," Impulse spat in Cream's direction, "I was helping a fellow mutt. And now my job here is done,"
_________________________________________
Cream watched with dull eyes as the white and brown dog sped off, thinking to herself that this mutt was in denial. She had picked her up and carried her away, hadn't she? Cream shook her head and looked at the ginger cat who had showed up out of nowhere. The pet scurried over to Dusk and hid behind his back leg. She didn't like the vibe this she-cat gave off.

((Lol, Ember is the most hated of the group.))
-Echo glared at the cat.- "Look, Impulse is no traitor. Just because Dusk is friends with a cat doesn't make all dogs traitors." -She growled and followed after Impulse.-
-Ember flicked an ear, the only sign showing that she was listening.- "Yeah ok. Let him ruin your reputation." -She flexed her claws and looked at the pet.- "How rude! You didn't thank your rescuer."

Dusk took a step forward and barked "Shut up cat" he growled feeling protective of the cat hiding behind him. Dawn narrowed her eyes. "Dusk, calm" She mumbled. Dusk felt his chest harden as he resisted the urge to tear the cat to pieces. "Let's go Cream" He said turning and leaning down to nudge the cream cat forward out of the alley. "Let's go get you something to eat"

-Ember stifled a mrrow of laughter at the dog's threat. She leaped down and padded over to Cream.- "Or you can come with me and I can get you the food that you get at home. Little kitty don't want the garbage found on the streets does she?" -She smiled as she added.- "And don't worry, I won't hurt another of my kind." -The she-cat sent a sharp glare at Dusk before looking back at Cream.- "I could show you everything you need to know about life on the streets."

Dusk took a step forward "She isn't a stray, she is a pet. So she doesn't need to learn that, but Cream" he looked at her. "Go where ever you like, just be careful" he said looking down at her. Dawn sat beside him, silent.

((xD I actually kinda like Ember.)) Cream's eyes flickered from between Dusk and Ember. The collar around her neck suddenly felt very heavy. What should I do...? She thought to herself, her tail swishing back in forth with thought.
"Uhm..." She glanced at Dusk and Dawn, "I-I trust them more. It's just that... I was- bored." The cream furred cat shook her head, "Bored cooped up in that house. Then again I keep forgetting how much of a scaredy cat I am." Her ears drooped. She stood up and padded next to Dusk, "Let's just go..."

Spice pounced at a brightly colored butterfly and growled as it fluttered away to safety. The pup bounded through the grass that tickled his underside and reached up to his shoulder. His trimmed claws tapped against the red wood of a small bridge that went over a pond. He reached it's peak and looked over at all of the dogs roughhousing in the dog park. Out of the corner of his blue eyes he saw a white and brown mutt enter. Curious, he stepped down from the bridge and began to stalk the thin, tall stray.

Dusk looked down at Cream, her nervousness showing quite clearly. "Come on, the sooner you are out of here the better" He said walking out of the alley and down the street. He looked around as another drop of rain fell and soon more. He sighed "Come on, Let's get you some food where it is dry" he said padding down the road. He turned and slipped under a building, it was like a cave, made of dirt and wood. He walked towards a pile of scraps, roast beef, potatoes, and even a bit of soft dog food. He smiled and him and Dawn dug in. He nudged part of it to Cream "It isn't much, but the family that lives here loves me...but won't adopt me" He sighed

((Lol, I do too.))
-Ember looked at Dusk.- "She may be a pet, but I could help her in case she ever gets lost again like before. I was doing you a favor. You know, I just heard that German Shepherd jabbering on about how 'Dusk is a shame to the dog race. Dusk is a backstabbing traitor.' It gets annoying you know. I figured another cat would ruin your reputation even more." -She turned her attention back to Cream.- "Ehh, your choice. If you change your mind, just let me know." -She flicked her tail and leaped back onto the trash can and climbed up the multiple window sills until she was on the roof. With one more glance at the small group, she turned and disappeared from the edge of the roof.-
-Echo ran up to Impulse.- "Impulse. We all know you hate cats. And if we see her again, we'll show her sure enough won't we?" -She smiled slightly, hopefully trying to cheer up the brown and white dog.-

Impulse's tail flicked as she entered the dog park, her floppy ears swivelling when Echo spoke. She lifted her chin and smirked, "Yeah. We sure will. Maybe even turn the furball into cat food. The cream furred one too. I always wondered what cats taste like," She mused as her brown eyes searched the place, the pets that ran to and fro chasing each other or following a colorful disk that glided through the air.
"Now lets mess with pets," She said, wheeling around like a predator. Two ice blue eyes widened, then a blur of light brown fur was thrust at her face. Impulse growled, trying to shake the pup off. She staggered around blindly, "GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF" SPice yelped and latched onto the mutt's ear, "You mess with Cream over my dead BODY!" He tugged hard at the thin piece of skin and fur.
Impulse screeched. _________________________________________
The female crawled into the make-shift den of mud and wood. Cream crouched and sniffed a chunk of roast beef, her nose crinkling but eventually she ate it. It was cold, and a bit damp, but was food nonetheless. Her gaze turned to Dawn and Dusk who dug into the feast with no hesitation. Her ears drooped, "Hey... Do you guys ever... Miss being with, people?" She asked softly, wondering right after if that was the wrong thing to say.

Dusk suddenly stopped eating, his ears drooped and Dawn eyed him nervously. "Yea...when you switch from being warm every night to eating this..it hurts" he said. He sighed and smiled "But you get used to it" he said with a sigh.

-Echo smiled and nodded in agreement.- "And maybe we could teach Dusk there's more to life as a mutt than to hang out with a cat." -Her eyes widened as the brown blur lunged at Impulse. Echo reached for the tail of the pup and growled.- "Cream is fine!" -She only said that to maybe calm him down. She barely knew the pet and had never been told her name.-

Cream shuffled her paws uncomfortably, looking down at the tips of them. She sighed, closing her eyes she saw the image of the white and brown mutt again. "Impulse, that mutt, said something about life being hard in the pound. But..." She paused, looking thoughtful, "You can get adopted there! People take you home and treat you great and... I just don't understand why you wouldn't want that life..." _________________________________________________
Spice had heard some other stray that 'Cream was fine' but in his mind, it translated as 'Cream is MINE' so he tugged even harder at the ear. Impulse slammed her head down to get the pup off of her, but it was just as Echo had taken hold of his tail and yanked his off, causing Impulse to collide painfully with the ground. The stray snarled and stood up. "Why you little brat!" She was about to snap at him when a group of about three or four dogs stalked over, they seemed to have come from the agility course in the park. Impulse tilted her head, "What?" She spat as they advanced.
"This place isn't for you filthy strays. You'd best be leaving now or we'll have to resort to..." Her eyes flickered the dog flexing his claws, "Drastic measures."
Impulse tensed and arched her back, pulling her lips back in a snarl. "Let's show these softies who they're dealing with, Echo."

Dusk sighed "Sometimes, a dog's pride is to strong to allow them to be put in a cage" He said looking at the cat. His ears perked, and swiveled. "Do you hear that!?" He asked crawling out of the cave. He looked around 'The dog park!" He barked hearing distant growls and barks. He ran through the street, Dawn following close behind making sure not to loose sight of Cream. Dusk slowed and grabbed Cream lifting her onto his back. "Hang on with your..." He gulped "Claws" He said speeding up. He skidded to a stop at the gate to the park, the scene before them large. It was impulse and Echo, challenging pets. "Oh no.." Dusk mumbled.Dusk was larger then impules and Echo, but was only taller then one of the pets, and that was the puppy. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Dawn, get cream to a safe place" He said lifting the cat off of his back. Dawn motioned for Cream to follow and leaped into a tree, climbing to a suitable limb. "Make sure to not fall, when Dusk gets started it's bad" She whispered. Dusk waited, watching to see if it would stop itself.

"Filthy strays." -Echo repeated in a low, aggravated voice. She chuckled a bit when the dog said 'Drastic measures.'- "What could a low down pet do to us?" -She growled. The dog's words had mot definetly gotten to her. She was usually calm and tried to avoid fights. But now, now her neck fur bristled and she was snapping her jaws way to close to the pets' muzzles for comfort.-
-Ember padded along the fence, tail and chin held high. The ginger she-cat delicately leaped down onto a stack of pipes and then to the ground. With silent steps, she began walking down the sidewalk, ignoring the human pups that reached out to touch her. After a while, she cut through the grass and squeezed through a crack in the fence. She was in someone's backyard. Ember sat down and peered down into a goldfish pond. The many orange, white, and black fish flickered up to the top before dashing to the bottom for safety. Ember licked her lips and extended her unsheathed paw out over the water. With a quick swipe, she slung a rather large goldifsh onto the lawn. Ember smiled and gulped the fish down, making note of where to come next time she wants fish. She squeezed back through the fence and sat down, watching the humans as they passed.-

Dusk took another step towards the fight, his eyes narrowed watching silently. "Let this stop itself...please" He thought. Dawn took a step back on the limb, her eyes wide with worry. "Come on..dusk don't" She mumbled.

Cream watched with wide-eyes, noticing that Spice was one of the dogs involved in the fight. She hoped that he wouldn't get hurt at all... __________________________________________________
Impulse snapped her jaws, her heated gaze turning to Dusk, "The heck did I tell you about me being able to take care of myself?" She growled, turning back to the group of dogs that steadily approached them. The white and browm mutt crouched in a predatory pose, fangs gnashing together everytime a pet got closer. One foolish dog stepped close enough for her to pounce, her muscles tensing and bunching up as she readied herself to leap.
Just then, three male humans came running up to them, their loud voices yelling for them to get lost. The pets scattered in fright as a human's hard black boot came into contact with Impulse's side. She yelped and rounded on the human's foot, jaws clamping onto it and pulling until she pulled it off. She threw it toward one of the retreaing dogs and sped away, "C'mon, Echo, Dusk! Before they call the catchers!" Impulse snarled furiously, barreling through the entrance in a white and brown flurry. _________________________________________________ "..." Cream watched, her eyes twitching in a dumb-founded way. She turned to Dawn, looking drowsy. "I think that's enough adventure for me today. I'll stick around her for a while until Jen comes home. I'll see you guys around, then?"

-Echo turned and spotted Cream in the tree.- "See pet? I told you she was fine!" -She growled and darted after Impulse, muttering curses at the dog's underher breath.-
((Will edit with Ember when I get home.))

Dusk growled "Sure does look like it! Since you just got kicked by a human!" He growled. He turned as the two strays left and ran after them. "Sorry about Dusk, he is on our side, but that pack is all he has ever known" Dawn said with a sigh. "Yeah see you then" She smiled. She leaped from the tree and down the fence.

-Ember padded down the sidewalk, and as she cut around a corner, she met three very familiar strays head on.- "Great." -She muttered under her breath and looked up at them.-
-Echo skidded to a stop, still angry from the pets. She growled and snapped at the cat.- "I don't have time for you."
((Fail.))

Impulse skidded to a stop near Echo, tongue slipping in and out of her mouth. She glared at the flame-furred cat she had seen earlier. "What she said," She jabbed her muzzle through the air, pointing at Echo. "Don't you have some muse trap to get your nose stuck in?" Impulse snapped, strutting away with her tail swishing irritably behind her. She looked at the male husky, "Why'd you come to the rescue? How many times have I told you that I can take care. Of. My. Self." The mutt plopped down and started licking the slight scratches on her side, where the ribs poked out slightly and where the human had kicked her. _______________________________________________

-Ember shrugged and shook her head.- "Meeces don't come from traps. They come from trash." -She flicked her tail.- "Say, what happened to your little cream colored friend?"
-Echo walked over to Impulse and looked at her side, then at Dusk.- "Yeah, we can handle ourselves. We've been through hard times ourselves, you know."

Dusk nodded "Have you forgotten this pack is where I have lived practically my whole life, and I am a stray too" He said, his voice annoyed. "Impulse, your ribs are fractured." He said looking down at them. Dusk looked up at the stray's expression, something telling him he wasn't wanted. Dusk felt his ears fall. "Ugh..Just, don't run to much. They will heal fast, Trust me I know" He turned and began walking away from the strays. His ears stayed down though his expression was blank.

"No I didn't forget." -The mutt huffed in an annoyed state. She looked back at Impulse when Dusk had gone.- "We need to get back to the junkyard. Can you walk?" -She knew that Impulse had ran, but that was to get away from the humans.-
-Ember flicked an ear. She was ignored.- "Fine. I see you have troubles so I'll go find her myself." -The flame-furred she-cat trotted past the dogs and jumped on top of a fence.- "Little cream friend!" -She called out for the pet.-
