Chapter 6 A Day At The Races: Part 2
An alarm blared into Charlie's ear as he slapped his alarm clock, unfortunately he missed which the grabbed it and thrown it across the room.
"Ugh..." he said to himself but shot up realizing what today is, "oh Shit today's the competition." He sprang out of bed and ran to the bathroom to do his business, after doing his business he ran down stairs, to grab his breakfast, along the way he sees the entire family already up and moving, "moring everyone." He said as he dashed into the kitchen.
"Well goodmoring Charlie how you sleep." Delilah asked him which in reply he shrugged.
"Eh it was okay." He responded while trying to make his breakfast.
"Yo Charlie whats the rush?" D2 asked him.
"Yeah you got something important coming up or something?" D3 asked as well.
"Well I have to get to the park fast..." Charlie explained.
"Park?"
"Oh no..." Dylan put a paw over his eyes.
"PARK!"
"PARK!!"
"PARK!!" the pups chanted as they formed there usual black and white tornado and took off to the front door, running over Charlie in the process.
"Trigger word." He said groaily, Dolly giggled seeing Charlie on the ground like that.
"You alright Charlie?" Delilah asked in her medical like tone?
"Yeah I'm alright." He said as he dust himself off, "I have to get going now I'll see you all at..." before he could finished he stop and thought hmto himself, "to you know where ta ta." He waved and ran out of the door to prepare the competition.
"Welp what do you say about that Dolly." Dylan said to his sister who rolled her eyes.
"Whatever he's planning im not taking part of." She said with a stern tone.
"Oh come on Dolly you can't be mad at him all the time, have you ever thought of putting at least some effort of trusting him?" He asked her only to see a very annoyed face.
"Dylan you know as I much that any human that ever walks through that door is obviously a threat."
"He hasn't done anything to us."
"That's a cover up he wants us to trust him and then WHAMO, he got us in his trap."
"Oh for the love of Dog, Dolly your being over dramatic."
"Over dramatic? Or more like being Protective of my family." Dolly snapped back and ran up the stairs, leaving Dylan to sigh and head off to the park.
A Little While Later
The park was very different then before now having tons of obstacles, some of the pups have lined up on a man-made line, as military music started to play over them...
"Alright pups its time for our big tournament, I hope your all ready, the prize..." he pulled out two tickets to the big race, "A trip with me to the race." He announced, all the pups that we're participating cheered and yelped with excitement. While the pups cheered, Triple D had a selfie stick and phone, recording.
"Hey everyone Triple D here with another fabulous vlog." Destiny started.
"Oh absolutely sis, today is going to be a very big competition."
"The prize, a chance to see a race with our human." The camera zoomed into Charlie who was explaining the rules.
"Now the first event is wall jumping." He announced as he shown the pups to a man-made wall, that was about five feet high, and five feet wide, "the idea is that everyone has to jump over this wall if they are able to make it on the other side they get a point." He explained as he grabbed his whistle, "ready?" He asked as the pups formed a line, leaving Delgado last, "set?" The first pup was Dizzy and she got into a pounce position ready for action, "GO!" He yelled and blew his whistle to start the competition.
Dizzy sprang into action running at full speed and jumped as high as she can, clearing the wall, however landing flat on her face as she hit the ground.
"Ooooh good try Dizzy." Charlie complimented her, which she groaned as she got up.
"Thanks Charlie." She said as she trotted off.
"Next!" Charlie said waiting for the next pup to try. One by one the participating pups jumped and almost all made it, some didn't but it was okay since Charlie gave them a thumbs up for trying. Finally it was Delgado turn, who was a little nervous, "come on Delgado you got this." Charlie gave him a thumbs up as couragement, Delgado shook his head and got into his stance ready to race, the pace of Delgado was lightning fast, faster than anyone else, he reached the jumping mark and leaped into the air... instead he landed flat on his face before he could jump at all, his wheelchair was way too heavy for him to jump thust the reason he couldn't jumped, Charlie ran over to see if he was okay.
"Delgado are you alright?" He asked to the hurt pup.
"I'm... I'm alright." Delgado said trying to fight back the tears.
"Are you sure...?"
"Yes... I'm fine..." he said as he walked away to the next event, leaving Charlie with a worried look on his face.
All day long it has been the same result, in the long jump Delgado smacked into the first hurdle, in fetch his wheel fell off as he ran to catch the frisbee, all the same results, he couldn't complete the challenges, resulting in more sadness in Delgado eyes.
"Alright everyone were on to the very last course, this one is a race, one lap around the entire park." Charlie announced as he looked at Delgado whi had very determined look on his face, "Alright everyone get ready..." he said as the pups started to line up and was ready to spring into action, "set..." Charlie raised his flag as the pups what in anticipation...
"GO!!!" He yelled as he threw down the flag, a cloud of dust was made as the pups took off, as usual Delgado (being the fast pup on wheels) was ahead of the pack, but he decided not to use his incredible speed, since it was fair to anyone else, so he kept it a very close and tight race, as they made through the turns he kept a good pace, even letting some pups pass him, but after awhile he would take back the lead.
"Come on Delgado!!!" Dolly yelled in excitement which was enough for Delgado to kick into gear and took off with a flash. The finish line was in sight nothing could stop him, he took off at the speed of light pushing everything he got to win. However a small mound started to form in front of the finish line and a pup popped out.
"Whats all the commotion?" He asked which everyone looked down.
"DIESEL!!!" Everyone screamed but it was too late, with how fast Delgado was going he didn't see Diesel, thust colliding with him causing him to flip over and crash just right before the finish line, allowing Dizzy to jump over him and crossing the finish line. Many people were in silence seeing Delgado laying down.
"I knew this was gonna happened." Dante said as Charlie ran over to him.
"Delgado! Delgado!" He yelled to him as he got closer to him, "are you alright?" He asked only to hear sniffing.
"I-I lost." He whimpered to himself Charlie tried to go down to his level and hugged him, only for him to jump out and take off running.
"Delgado Wait Come Back!" Charlie yelled out but was too late he was out of site.
"Oh No, Dolly Emergency!" Dylan said in a panic.
"I got you bro." Dolly saluted and took off after Delgado.
"We have to form search parties, me and Dolly will look around, the rest of you keep an eye out for him." Charlie explained as he took off after Dolly, as everyone else started to wander around looking for him.
"Delgado!" Dolly yelled to no avail.
"Delgado!" Charlie yelled as well with same result.
"Well that was a stupid idea you had Charlie." Dolly said with anger.
"Dolly now is not a good time."
"This is a perfect time... Delgado is hurt, has run away, and its all your fault."
"My Fault!?" He questioned, "why the hell is it my fault?!"
"Because you came into our lives!!!" Dolly yelled causing Charlie to shrink in size, "we were completely fine on our own qe don't need a human End of Story."
"Dolly what have you got against humans?" He asked to no answer, just silent, "answer me."
"Why should I tell you?" She asked crossing her arms and looking away.
"Because your my family."
"Well your not family to me!" Dolly yelled which Charlie gasped.
"Just because I'm human?" He asked as he started to tower over Dolly with anger in his eyes, "just because your stuck in the past thinking all humans are bad when in reality, I've shown so much love to everyone here." Charlie yelled at her, who was scared as she backed up to a wall.
"See this is exactly what humans do, all they do is curse, and hurt, your no better than any other human." Dolly snapped back which left Charlie speechless.
"I'm sorry."
"Ha sorry not gonna cut with me, you wanna make me happy, you can just leave and never come back." Dolly walked away, leaving a hurt Charlie in tears, however the sound of sniffing cane be heard elsewhere perking Charlie's ears, after looking around for about a couple of minutes he found the sound of sniffles coming from underneath a car.
"Hello?" He asked as he looked under, and finds Delgado crying, "Delgado there you are... come on buddy its gonna be okay." He stretched out his hands for Delgado to jump but for a while he didn't, "come on buddy you know I'm not gonna hurt you." He said in a calm tone which Delgado started to slowly fold into his arms.
"C-Charlie..." he said through his tears, which Charlie shushed him and held him close.
"Its gonna be alright, your safe."
"I... I l-lost..." he said.
"Oh Delgado." Charlie held him close, "its okay to lose, no ones a winner all the time." Charlie reassured him.
"I'm... I'm a weakling." Delgado cried.
"What?! What you mean?"
"W-when I was born, my back legs didn't grow correctly." He explains.
"You mean the bones in your legs fused together?" Charlie asked.
"How did you know?"
"It was a lucky guess."
"Well they were fused together so they decided to amputated both of them, and put me in this... stupid wheel chair."
"Woah hey now."
"I've always felt weak, I felt like I was dead form the start." Delgado cried more while Charlie held him close, after a few minutes of crying he looked at Charlie who had a very cheerful face.
"You know what I think?"
"What."
"I think your a very strong pup, who takes on a challenge head on."
"But... I'm a weakling."
"No Your not, you are a strong and fast pup who always ready for a challenge."
"But..."
"Delgado..." Charlie smiled, "you wanna know what I've learn over the years?"
"What..."
"No matter how good you are, at anything, you can sometimes make mistakes and mess up, you know when I was in the military, everything had to be perfect, there was never close enough, if we failed we get punished for it." Charlie explained.
"W-wait why?"
"Because everything was professional, and sure after I was discharged, that affect was still rubbing off of me, yet I've learn thats it okay if you fail even if your great at what you do." Delgado smiled and hugged Charlie.
"Thanks Charlie you know Dollys very wrong about you, you aren't a monster like she says you are, your a great friend."
"I just hope she sees what you all sees."
"She'll come around eventually, its not her fault that's she's very protective."
Charlie and Delgado walked back to the park, where a celebration for Dizzy winning the tournament, however she didn't seem very happy about it, that is until she saw Delgado and Charlie.
"Delgado!!" She yells out and rushed to him to hug him, along with everyone else.
"Are you okay?" Dylan asked him, which he nodded in response.
"I'm okay Dylan thanks to Charlie."
"Well I have an announcement." Dizzy said as she cleared her throat, "we all know that Delgado really wanted to see the big race today and seeing how upset he was about losing I decided to give my win to Delgado." Everyone clapped and yelled with excitement.
"Thanks Dizzy... but you know what you can have the win, after all I was told its okay to lose, not everyone is perfect." Delgado looked up to Charlie who nodded his head.
"But Delgado I want you to have it, as a token of thank you."
"W-wait really you mean that?"
"Absolutely Delgado you wanted this more than anyone else, so I'm giving it to you." She smiled as they hugged each other.
"Thank you Dizzy." Dizzy giggled.
"Anytime bro."
"Well Delgado what you say shall we had to the race?" Charlie asked him.
"Oh you bet... in fact I'll even race you."
"Oh I don't know Delgado..." Charlie said as he smiled, "SEEYA!!" And took off followed by Delgado laughing and carrying on as the sun started to set.
