Finding Nothing [illxhusky]

[>.< Minxy >.<]

Bailey wandered weakly to the pool of water, he was tired, lonely and physically exhausted, he collapsed just infront of the stream, he wasted no time in taking a drink, with his thirst quenched, he lifted his head and looked around, this place was quiet, calm and very relaxing, he was sure no one would find him here for now, he felt safe and couldnt sense another dogs around. he gently lay his head on his paws, he sighed, the water was calming, he felt his eyelids getting heavy, he was starting to drift of to sleep, he heard a noise and lifted his head slightly, the last thing he saw before pure exhaustion took over was another dogs paws. someone had found him, he tried to struggle to his feet, but failed, he couldnt move, he was so exhausted that he was immoblisied, he looked up at the other dogs, his vision all fuzzy so he couldnt make out who it was, his eyelids fell closed, he needed to rest.
when he woke a few hours later, he couldnt remember what had happened, and then it hit him, another dog had found him, he got to his feet and looked around, every thing was quiet, it was the same as it had been before he had seen the other dog, he was now confused, had he dreamt up the intruder in his exhaustion, or had there actually been someone there? he just didnt know, he sat down by the stream, he angled himself in a way that he could see everything around him, just incase he hadnt dreamt up the other dog and it came back to attack him, he heard a twig snap to the right of him, he didnt take his eyes off where the noise had come from "who's there?" he barked getting to his feet and waiting for the unknown to reveal itself

Star watched the male dog quietly then she revealed herself to him "Hi" she barked "I hope i didn't interupt you."[/color] she sat down and watched him for a minute her tail wagging then said "Whats your name?" She hoped he didn't want her to leave she was lonely she had no friends and no mate. She waited patiently for a response she felt happy to have found another dog to talk to. Star hoped she wasn't disturbing him though. She felt an itchiness in her ear and lifted her leg up and started to scratch at it. When she finished she put her leg back down on the ground as she watched him and waited for him to answer. She was happy to have some company she smiled at him hoping she could stay for a while and get to know him.

"Bailey" he said "whats yours?" he asked, he didnt want to seem rude so he answered her, he looked at her strong build, her ears, the way her eyes looked, the thickness of her coat, her height and her coat colour, from all this he could tell that she was a german shepherd, even though he was colour blind, he smiled at her, if she looked at him like that, he would look more like a border collie than an austrailian shepherd, with his long coat, mix of colours, and his build all being very similar to that of a border collie, although he felt that he was better than any border collie, he was happy that this female had found him and not some other dog that might have wanted to kill him, at least he had his energy back and he was strong enough to stand up and run around again, he then had a train of thought, "i dont want to seem rude, but how old are you?" he asked, he had a feeling that she was older than him, this didnt really bother him much, but it was making converstaion, plus he was definately more mature for his age, most female looked at him when he said that he was only 4 years old in a way of disgust, well most older female that was, in some ways it bothered him because he was lonely and wanted a mate, but most of the time he just brushed it aside, alot of the younger females seemed to swarm all over him, this didnt help his situation because it made his choice of a mate difficult, so he just stuck to flirting and kept on waiting for a female who would stand out to him more than the others to show up, and for some reason, although he had just met her, this new female was starting to stand out from the others, he wanted to make conversation with her, he wanted to get to know her, just to make sure, he carried on smiling and waited for her reply

[illxhusky]

"My name is Morning Star but you can just call me Star." She looked at Bailey he had a beautiful coat and that made her smile. He was a very nice dog and Star was glad he was letting her stay. Then she answered his other question "I'm 5 years old." She hoped he wasn't much older and thought of her as just a pup all the older dogs thought of her this way but she was more mature then they thought her to be. Then she suddenly felt anger thinking about how he might be like those other dogs but she said to herself don't judge him before you get to know him.. Star felt relief now she felt that he was different hopefully the one to be her long awaited mate. At the thought of this her tail started wagging slightly brushing against the ground. She was happy to have met a friendly dog. Then she asked him "How old are you?" almost hoping he wasn't older then her she could tell by the look on his face that he thought she was older than him.

OOC: i finally made it to 200 words ;D

[>.< Minxy >.<]

he smiled, she was only a year older, that hopefully wouldt make any difference, would it? "i am 4" he said, he noticed how she was staring at his coat, he smiled even more and his tail started to wag, he liked it when other dogs looked at his coat, he was proud of it, his hazel brown eyes locked on hers, he smiled, he noticed how beautiful she was, she was really beging to stand out, he had a feeling that she would be the one, even if she was older than him, "so your a german shepherd i see" he said happily noting her breed, he waited to see what she would say about his breed, she would probably say something like a type of collie or shepherd, but she wouldnt be able to say exactly which breed, he sighed and sat down, not taking his eyes off hers, then decided he was going to lie down, he lay his fluffy head in his soft white paws, his blue merle, tan and white coat ruffeling slightly in the breeze, his eyes still on hers, he wasnt going to brake away first, plus he was also transfixed and couldnt help but to carry on looking into them, he sighed and waited for her reply

[illxhusky]

Star nodded at him when he asked if she was a german shepherd. Then she noticed he was laying down so she layed down next to him she decided not to get to close just in case he didn't want her next to him. She noticed he was looking into her eyes and she blushed a little.. he was such a sweet dog this made her smile. Star couldn't take her eyes off his coat it was so beautiful. Then she said to him smiling "I love your coat." Her tail started to wag harder as she looked at him she wanted to scoot in closer if he wants me closer he'll let me know she decided so she waited. Star was happy around him this was the first dog she'd felt happy around she wanted this moment to last forever. I finally found a mate she thought quietly she loved Bailey... she wanted to tell him that but instead she waited quietly for him to speak.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

he smiled happily at her "thankyou" he said, "i am an Austrailian Shepherd incase you didnt know" he knew this wasnt relevent but he was trying to make convosation, his tail started to wag faster when she layed down next to him, he resisted his temptation to move closer to her, he didnt want to seem to keen and didnt want to scare her off, instead he subtley rolled on his back at looked at her from his upside down position, again it was her eyes that caught his attention, he just couldnt help but stare at them, they where so beautiful, shining like stars on a clear night, he guessed thats was why she was called star, he didnt care if it wasnt actually the reason becasue to him it was, he smiled at her with calm eyes, his imagination began to wonder, he imagined their future together, what it would be like, what would their puppies look like, he shook his head, he had gone to far, he rolled back over, but in the other direction, so he was actually a few feet closer to her than he was before, he looked at her and smiled again, tail wagging, waiting to see what she would do next

[illxhusky]

Star wagged her tail as she noticed he got a bit closer to her. She didn't have anything else to say so she said "I love you......" then she said "Sorry was that too sudden?" Star scooted in closer toward him and rubbed her fur against his. She felt as if she said i love you too soon... she hoped Bailey still wanted to be there with her. Then she thought what if he doesn't feel the same way? she would be crushed if he didn't feel the same way. She wanted to have a family with him someday and this made her smile but she waited for him to speak before she said anything else. She felt slightly embarrassed at her feelings since she did not know Baileys feelings for her. Star wagged her tail and licked his muzzle but then she drew back blushing a little back and waited for him to speak.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

he looked at her slightly shocked by what she had said, his eyes widened, but when she moved closer he stayed still, still looking at her, his widened eyes relaxed into a smile, he licked her on the cheek, he didnt say anything for he knew that his actions spoke louder than his words, he wriggled a little closer to her, his whole body rubbing against hers, his tail wagging so fast that it looked as if it was about to fall off, she was definately the one for him, he put on of his paws over on of hers and gently rest his head ontop of hers, he sighed happily, he smiled "i love you too" he said finally, he licked her on the cheek again then got up and wandered to the stream, he took a drink and turned around to face star, he smiled at her, water dripping from his maw, he cocked his head on one side, his pink tongue hanging out of his mouth, he padded over to her and stood over her, he looked down at her, his eyes sparkling, he nuzzled her happily, his tail wagging all the time, he sat down infront of her smiling

[illxhusky]

Star was happy when she knew he felt the same way she felt her tail start wagging behind her. She licked his muzzle lovingly and felt happier then she'd ever been before. She felt relieved when she knew he felt the same way. Then she watched him pad over to the stream to drink she laughed to herself when he turned around water dripping from his muzzle. Then she watched him pad back over to her again she licked water off his muzzle then smiled at him in a loving way. She looked at his eyes sparkling with love and her tail wagged ever harder. Star just sat there in silence gang into his loving eyes "i finally found a mate" she thought to herself. She finally found someone who loved her for who she was. Star rubbed her head on Baileys chest in a loving way then she looked back into his shinning eyes. When she looked into his eyes she felt as if she needed no one else just him. Baileys eyes said "i love you." and that made her smile.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

he smiled at her, and nuzzled up to her again placing his head gently on hers, she made him feel so happy, she was completely different, normally he would have females swarming all over him and he wouldnt know what to do with himself, now star on the other hand, she just wanted to get to know him and didnt leap all over him like a love sick puppy and she was ok with him being slightly younger than herself, she was one in a million, and he was so happy that he had found her before any other male had, just thinking about it made his tail start wagging again, he sighed happily, this was where he wanted to be, it felt right and he did love star, although they had literally just met, that was another thing about her, she was just the sort of female you just look at and fall in love with, he looked at her, his hazel brown orbs conecting with hers, he was stuck there in a sort of trance, he couldnt pull himself away, but he wouldnt have wanted too even if he could, her eyes where so soft, calm and gentle and he just seemed to melt away when he looked at them

[illxhusky]

Star kept her gaze on him she wasn't going to look away she was lost in his loving eyes. She felt him cuddle up close to her and she smiled she was happier then she'd ever been with anyone else. Bailey was the only one special to her she loved him with all her heart. Star finally found someone to love and love her back. She yawned as her gaze met his she was growing tired but she forced herself to stay awake she wondered if Bailey was tired but then she remembered he had a nap before when she first saw him out here. Star was glad she came out here from the moment she saw Bailey she couldn't keep her eyes off him. Star laid down on the ground and looked at Baily inviting him to lay down next to her. Her tail was wagging harder than it ever had before she had never felt this way about anyone before. Star waited patiently for Bailey to say something and lay down beside her still looking up at him

[>.< Minxy >.<]

he smiled at her lovingly and layed down next to her, his tail wagging too, he gently licked her on the cheek in an affectionate way, and smiled at her again, she looked tired to him, but he could tell she was trying to stay awake, it made him smile even more, "you should get some sleep" he said in a calm soothing voice, letting her know that she wasnt in any danger in going to sleep because he would look over her and protect her from anything that may come to harm her, he nuzzled her and seductively nibbled at her ears, he smiled and got to his feet, he stood over her, his eyes scanning around the environment they where in, checking for any sign of another dog or anything that may cause them danger, nothing, it was all quiet, but still he stood over her protecting her from nothing, he looked down at her and smiled as she yawned, he sat down next to her, eyes focussed on her for the moment, then suddenly he had the urge to itch *darn fleas, they really know how to spoil a moment* he thought to himself, he straightened up and looked back at her smiling, then glanced around the area checking for danger again

[illxhusky]

Star felt relieved when Bailey said she should get some sleep. She looked at him lovingly for a few heartbeats before laying her head down over her paws and closing her eyes. Star dreamed of him the whole time she slept and thought about him standing over her protecting her. She thought about the lovely puppies they would have. Star had always loved puppies and dreamed of one day having some and now that she had a mate she could and Bailey would make a great father to those puppies. Star pictured him looking down on her when she awoke and if he wasn't she would go crazy. Star was a light dog but if Bailey was not beside her when she awoke she would turn dark real quick. She would kill anyone she came across looking for her mate that's how true her love for him was. Star never wanted to be away from her mate not even for a second she loved him to much to ever be away from him. Star slept peacefully dreaming of her mate the whole time and of the puppies they would one day have.
