Rover: growls Y-you... y'leftt meee, d-didn't y-you?
Melthelp
I'm sorry if I left you behind... I was going through a rough time. he makes eye contact with rover
Rover: grumbling Rough time? You think a sorry will make everything okay? snarls You don't even deserve my forgiveness after what you did.
Melthelp
he looks down well, now you're human, and I'm not gonna leave you behind again!
Rover: snarls Don't think you can just play nice now and make up for all the pain you caused. growls You owe me big time, and I'm not letting you forget it.
Melthelp
he picks up his guitar want me to play a song for you, rover?
Rover: narrows eyes A song? Fine, but don't think this means we're friends again. crosses arms Play the song and then we'll talk about how you're going to make things right.
Melthelp
he starts strumming and begins playing "I Am Not Your Dog Anymore" there are some things that only time can fix.
Rover: pauses, listening to the song Hmph, I suppose you're right. But don't think this changes anything between us.
Melthelp
the song continues on, and by the end of it, he's in tears it really has been a tough time for me....
Rover: softens gaze Look, I may not say it often, but... thank you. Thank you for the times you cared, for the memories we shared.
Melthelp
he hugs rover no problem. and thank you for being such a loyal friend.
Rover: nuzzles into the hug You're welcome, friend. whimpers softly I'm always here for you, no matter what.
Melthelp
he rubs his head against rover's cheek you know, i really miss having a dog. i used to have one when i was younger, but he passed away.
Rover: whines softly I miss having a purpose too. But we can still be friends and take care of each other, right?
Melthelp

Rover: grins and licks Melthelp's face And don't worry, I'll always be by your side, just like old times.
Melthelp

Rover: grumbles Death? You think I smell like death? growls I'll have you know, I still smell like a million bucks despite all this chaos.
Melthelp
he laughs nah bro, you don't. but i bet after a shower you'll smell better.
Rover: huffs Fine, I'll show you how good I still smell. struts towards the bathroom Just wait and see, human.
Melthelp
he waves see you in a bit, rover!
Rover: puffs out chest Oh, you haven't seen the half of it, human. Just you wait and see what I can do after a shower. saunters into the bathroom
Melthelp

Rover: from inside the bathroom Yeah, yeah, go ahead and eat. Just remember, I'm coming out looking and smelling amazing, so don't get any ideas, human.
Melthelp
he chuckles you've never gotten any ideas, but alright. he grabs a bag of groceries and eats
While Melthelp is eating, a group of aggressive wolves approaches, growling and ready to attack.
Melthelp
oh boy. he tries to hide
growling fiercely, baring teeth Back off, you mangy mutts! snarls and lunges at the largest wolf, sinking teeth into its neck
Melthelp
he slowly creeps past the wolves while rover is fighting them
fighting off the wolves, snarling and snapping You think you can mess with us? Think again! lunges at another wolf, clawing at its back
Melthelp
as he creeps past, one of the wolves notices him hey, a human! they chase after him
growling fiercely, turning towards the chasing wolves You dare chase after my human? snarls I'll show you what happens when you mess with us!
Melthelp
they run across a train track- and there's a train coming
growls fiercely, leaping onto one of the wolves, pinning it down Stay down if you value your life! bites down on the wolf's neck, growling
Melthelp
the wolves jump back, startled by rover the train passes by yeah boys, run along now. he runs off, trying to escape the wolves
snarling and growling, lunging at the wolves You think you stand a chance against me? claws and bites, fighting fiercely
Melthelp
they continue to run off into the sunset, avoiding the wolves
panting and covered in blood, but standing tall You thought you could outrun me? growls Well, think again, you pathetic excuses for canines!
Melthelp
they finally reach somewhere safe man, that was close.
Rover: panting heavily Yeah, it was. But don't worry, human. I won't let those wolves bother us again. growls
