[Video]

[After several attempts to turn on the PCD with no proper thumbs, Pyro or Chibi Momo appears on the screen yapping. Placing her paw on the screen, she taps at it and barks again. Unaware, Chibi Momo has not understood that turning into a dog means speaking dog as well. The barks in her ears sound like perfect English.]

[There's a few clicks as he smacks the phone, trying to make it turn on. Oh, there it goes. He yawns and rubs his eye, having apparently just woken up from a nap.]

Ringo? What is it?

[video] He can't speak dog, that's all barks

[notintehkitchen]

[Wagging her tail subconsciously at the familiar voice, Chibi Momo began hopping from her left front paw to the right front paw excitedly.

Barking at the screen again, she stood on her hind legs and pawed at the air.]

(Ringo? Why is Mr. Hawk calling me Ringo? It's me, Pyro! See! Ringo doesn't sound like me!)

[video] Like that has ever stopped him from talking to a dog. XD

[hasstandards]

You're awful talkative today. Something wrong?

[video] Of course not.

[notintehkitchen]

[Pulling her head back, she nodded.]

(Besides the fact I have paws? Not really. How am I supposed to make bacon with these?)

[video] Dogs are the only kind of people he likes. True story.

[hasstandards]

[His brow knits together as he looks like he's considering something.]

You at the park?

[video] pffft dogs are people too

[notintehkitchen]

[Looking about to double check, Chibi Momo turns back to the screen and barks a 'yes' before her tail starts to wag uncontrollably.]

(How did you know!?)

[video] They so are. RED will vouch for that.

[hasstandards]

[He rubs the back of his neck, giving the dog on the other end of the line another look.]

You be a good dog and stay where you are, alright?

[video] xD;;; hes so sweet

[notintehkitchen]

[Lowering her ears at his next words, a deep sigh escapes her nose.]

(Funny, really funny. You're so good with jokes.

Please bring me some bacon, I'm hungry.)

[video] If only he was this nice to Pyro normally.

[hasstandards]

[He gives Ringo a slight smile.]

Spot on. I'll be there soon.

[And with that, he fumbles with the phone until it hangs up. By 'soon,' he must've meant 'a little over an hour,' because that's how long it takes for him to dress warmly enough for the cold weather, get down the stairs in one piece, and hobble to the park with his crutch. He looks fairly exhausted by the time he gets there, but determination is an excellent motivator.

He eases himself onto a bench, pulling the hood tighter around his neck to keep out the chill. He reaches into the crook of the sling holding his broken arm, pulling out a blueberry muffin. With it in hand, he gives a whistle.]

[video] of course not

[notintehkitchen]

[Pacing about in the cold, the only thing on Chibi Momo's mind was how she got placed in this body. Last night she had been sleeping comfortably in her own bed... but now? She had woken up at the park on the hard surface.

A whistle snapped her out of her thoughts and made her ears perk up in the direction of the sound. Running as fast she could on her four padded feet, soon she would reach where Sniper was with a happy pant.]

(There you are! It took awhile. I mean, I should of guessed with your injuries.)

[As she thought on it, she let out a gasp.]

(Wait, you came all this way and brought a blueberry muffin just for me?! Mr. Hawk really does care about me!)

[Shoving her paws on his legs, she prodded him with them several times in revelation.]

[action] He'll have to work on it.

[hasstandards]

[Sniper winced as the dog prodded his legs, one of them still very tender. Leaning toward Chibi, he gave the dog a pat on the head, pushing him off his legs with a groan.]

Watch the leg, Ringo. It's still a bit sore.

[He set the muffin on the ground, rubbing the pain from his wounded knee.]

Hope that's still good. It's a few days old, but shouldn't be too bad.

[action] .... xD poor Sniper...poor dog Pyro

[notintehkitchen]

[Leaping over the muffin, the little dog shoved the whole thing in it's mouth and began to run about in circles as it chewed it happily.

Being a dog sure was strange, there were no cheeks to shove food bits in! Instead, little crumbles of blueberry muffin dropped to the ground as she chewed and chewed. When she was finished (which didn't take long), Chibi Momo barked at Sniper again.]

(More please!)

[action] EVERYTHING IS ADORABLE

[hasstandards]

Hungry today, are ya? I didn't think to bring anymore. I'm sure there's more at the base, but I'll need a minute.

[He shifted on the bench, trying to make himself comfortable in spite of the sharp aching from his leg. Though the trip wasn't far, his muscles were all weary, unused to any amount of walking after weeks in the hospital.]

Probably should have taken the medication today. I'm fairly certain Pyro won't be happy when she finds out I've not been taking it, or that I left at all.

[action] its too adorable

[notintehkitchen]

[Tilting her head to one side in confusion, she let out a whimper.]

(Uh... Hello? I'm right here. What are you talking about?)

[Jumping up onto the bench by his side, she stared up at his face with large puppy dog eyes.]

[action] Anything with puppies is automatically adorable. It's a fact.

[hasstandards]

[Sniper snorted irritably, pushing his fingers under his glasses to rub his eyes.]

Ya don't have to worry about me. I don't hurt that much. S'just that... well, they mess with my head.

[He shifted again, another groan pushing itself from him. Okay, he did hurt that much, but admitting it made it worse. With another look to Chibi Momo, he gave her a good scratching behind her ears.]

[action] /gets seizure from cute.

[notintehkitchen]

[The way he spoke to her, the wonderful feeling of being scratched behind the ears and Sniper coming to her aide made her realize something.

Sniper couldn't tell she was Momo. To Sniper, she was just a little white ball of fur. She was no longer human if her comrade was treating her so nicely.

It was weird to think being a dog would make all the difference in how sweet he could be...]

(You don't know who I am, do you?)

[Stopping her tail from wagging. Chibi Momo laid down on her side and whimpered repeatedly.]
