What's In A Name? Part Two By Ziggy Author's note: Quotes used in this short piece are taken from the episode, "Fair Fight," written by Preston Wood. This little fanfic takes on the POV of "the lanky one." :) _______________ "What are we going to call him?" Good ole Marco, the resident best friend to all things furred and feathered. "Call him Henry or something." Gage, I can't believe you said that! The others agree the name is perfect. Perfect? It fits him like a glove? That lazy, fat, graying hound sharing *my* name? I don't think so! "Look, I don't want to be stuffy about this, but Henry is*my* name." I square my shoulders and give my men The Look. This time it doesn't work. This time they are unimpressed. They give me blank stares in return. I can almost hear Gage asking, "Yeah, so what's the problem?" Ya can't win for losing. Heaving a heavy sigh, I finally relent. The things I allow my crew to get away with! But I lay down the law. You guys can have your fun calling that dog `Henry' "But I don't ever want to hear you callin' him `Hank!'" I see Mike raise an eyebrow as Johnny quickly agrees to the terms. As he welcomes our new mascot with friendly pats, I can't believe I agreed to this. This dog looks nothing like me! Unless, do you think--? Nah. |
