Hope you like this chapter! I won't do a(n) introducing A/N for awhile.

~Third person~

In the late days of November, the time of year when a dog- a cream husky- wondered around it's small town; this dog was on it's way to a local park with a giant field.

The dog was in a happy mood until, "How are ya'! Barnaby my dog!" Another dog interrupted.

Now this dog was a German Shepherd -not the smartest of his kin either- he was a friend nonetheless.

The Huskey, Barnaby, answered the dog with annoyance, "What do you want Ryo?"

Ryo ignored his snarky tone, "I just wanted to know how you were doin'!" He replied hyperly.

"Well I was doing just fine before someone interrupted my walk to the park!" Barnaby had snarled a bit to harshly.

"Now Barnaby, was it the stray cats, Star and Priss?" Ryo asked like his ignorant self, scratching behind his ear.

"No, not then Ryo. But seriously, you have the smarts of that other dog. Rozy his name is?"

Ryo shook himself, still being the ignorant dog he is, changed the subject, "Did you hear though," he leaned in close, "Zoe is now 14."

"Please don't change the subject, -no matter how interesting- K-9 unit wannabe." Barnaby snarked once again.

"You don't have to get all defensive! Anyways, can I walk with you? Everyone else is boring, even Walker." Ryo asked.

"I guess you can Ryo," he paused for a second to think, "just don't do anything stupid. Okay?"

"Yes Barneby sir!" Ryo ran in a circle, quickly heading up to the side of Barneby. Ryo's fur touching Barneby's.

"Okay, so Ryo. I know your young- I'm young, but, you really need to stop being so hyper. I'm gonna try and get you to not be so hyper.

"I know im asking alot from you, but I'm the only creature that you'll listen to. You won't even listen to the Dominat species, but I get that one.

"So in at the park," he stopped to see if Ryo would say anything; he didn't.

"At the park, I'm gonna show you how to greet others with the right amount of excitement. Along with when and when not to be hyper. Got all that Ryo?"

"Yes Barneby sir!" Ryo barked for the first time in a minute, running around Barneby.

"First lesson, this is more so acceptable when greeting someone new or a pal you haven't seen for awhile."

Ryo stopped suddenly, listening to what Barneby had to say.

"Good boy." Barneby said.

"Thanks Barneby." Ryo smiled, oddly calm.

Barneby shrugged it off once they got to the park. Alot of other animals were here, sorta making Barneby uncomfortable for his small amount of anxiety and a bit of a phobia. He knew that he'd be fine though, he knew most of the creatures here.

Ryo ran up to a male doberman with a happy greet, "Walker! How are you my buddy?"

"Good, but a new animal is in the house. That wretched critter is so bad that gates and locks were put up by the Dominant species." Walker ranted.

"Oh, well that's. . . bad?" Ryo said more of a question than an answer.

"Yeah, I saw him the other day. My Dominant species brought me over to his place for the day. That small beast was terrifying, loud, obnoxious, and all out was taking over all of the Dominant's time." A collie female collie named Mars piped up.

Barneby trotted over to them, "Are you all talking about a, I don't know, baby?" He snorted and how stupid these dogs were.

"What's a baby?" a new voice asked, Jupiter the great dane.

"It's one of the Dominant species young. You know like how we were all pups? That's what it is to Dominant's." Barneby explained.

Everyone gave some 'oooohhhhh's in reply. Barneby mentally facepalmed himself.

"Well, guys. You all are pretty calm around others, right?" Barneby asked although he already knew the answer off the top of his head- er, ears?

"Yeah, it's only Ryo wh-" Jupiter was interrupted by Walker hitting his paw with his own. Mars just sat there, laughing.

"Well, yeah I know that he is hyper. That's why I need you guys to help me!" He cheered.

"I think besides you, I am the most calm one here." Mars proudly states.

The other two gave her an annoyed 'hey!' each.

"Well, Walker, Jupiter, could you guys go set up something to help Ryo not be so hyper?" Barneby asked the two who sat there -besides Ryo.

"Sure!" They said in near unison, then ran off.

"Okay, so Mars," Barneby was cut off by Ryo.

"Barneby, just tell me what to do with the Dominant species and I'll succeed! I swear!"

"Yes, but Ryo, you have to realize that your a bit to hyper for other creatures. I'm trying to do what's best for you and us." Barneby explained his reasoning for why he was doing this with the help of Mars, Walker, and Jupiter.

"Barneby?" Mars pipes in.

"Yes Mars?" He asks

"Let Ryo experience this on his own. I know your intentions, but maybe they aren't the best for him. You see, Barneby, our boy Ryo is different than others. He is over hyper and doesn't learn too easily.

"He is just. . . different. When will you realize that? When Barneby?"

They all detected a hazel glisten in her mocha-brown eyes. Barneby realizes he is doing the wrong thing, but he just want's to help his friend out.

Barneby let out a small, soft sigh, "I realize that Mars, I just want to help him," he gestured toward Ryo who sat patiently in his spot.

Ryo, sat quietly for too long, he but in to the conversation, "Guys! I'm fine! Okay? Im tired of all your dang fighting! Its irritating to my ears!

"Please stop arguing. Please stop arguing. . . Please, stop it." Ryo slowly broke down onto the soft, light green grass.

"Ryo, I-we're sorry. I didn't realize I was doing wrong. You are a good friend, I don't want to see you break down like this." Barneby whined a bit.

Ryo sniffled, then got up and told them, "I've been working on acting for a role I got in a full-animal play. I'm sure I got you two fooled." He chuckled lightly, mucas slightly dripping from his wet nose due to his 'scene'.

"Ryo! You had me worried you goof!" He laughed, Mars soon joining in.

Later that night, Ryo told him about the full-animal play. Jupiter and Qalker were there for some of it, but had to leave shortly into it.

Mars and Barneby stayed for all of it, finding out soon enough that they could go and see Ryo for free.

Ryo finished his speach with, "My Dominant species did this for me. Thought it would be good for me."

I still have good internet? How? Anyways, I don't know where this went, but, whatever. Might have messed up a few areas. I did edit though. Bye guys.
