Malo and Lincoln Loud

Everyone in the park steered clear of the marching Malo. The large mastiff had a fearsome reputation, so everyone avoided him like the plague. Becky and Ricky puffed out their chests as they walked behind him with Becky holding the leash.

Malo then let out a deep bark which made everyone else scream and abandon the park.

Becky and Ricky grinned as they had the whole park to themselves. However, this left them with no victims to bully.

"Oh man! Who are we going to torment now?" Ricky complained as he crossed his arms with a pout. They then saw a boy with white hair walking through the park with his hands in his pocket.

"Hey isn't that the kid from that Ace Savvy movie?" Becky asked.

"Yeah, I've seen him and some other kid with that big mutt. What's he doing here?" Ricky asked, already wanting to bully the white haired boy.

The siblings then noticed something odd, they looked down at Malo who was staring at the boy with a serious expression. They didn't know why he wasn't growling but it was clear the other kid had their vicious dog's attention.

Malo smacked his lips with his tongue, springing droplets of drool in the air as he stared at him.

Becky and Ricky shared a grin as they had an idea.

"Get em, Malo!" Becky commanded.

"Yeah, sic 'em!" Ricky encouraged as he unclipped the leash.

Malo bolted, nearly making his owners lose their balance, the two didn't lose their grins though.

Lincoln was confused on why the park was empty. Normally when he visited the Great Lakes City, the park was crawling with people and other dogs. Wait, this wasn't another prank when Ronnie Anne and Sid had Lalo and Ninja soak him, was it? Handling one big slobbering dog was enough but two, no thank you! Ninja was the same breed as Beethoven, who he promised to visit under the threat of 'drowning in drool'.

He jumped when he heard a booming bark and turned to see a Mastiff bolting toward him. Lincoln smiled as he thought the big mastiff was Lalo.

"Oh hey, Lalo. How've you been?" Lincoln asked, his smiles soon dropped when he saw 'Lalo's' angry face, usually Lalo would have his dripping tongue lolling out with a joyful expression. "Uh, Lalo-"

Lincoln screamed as he was pounced and pinned to the floor with the snarling mastiff on top of him. Drooling fangs up close to his face.

"Lalo, what's wrong!? What did I do!?" Lincoln asked, terrified. Lalo had never growled at him before, not without playing tug of war which Lincoln always lost. "Uh, Lalo, it's me Lincoln! We're friends remember!"

Malo lowered his head and sniffed at the boy; the boy looked like a wimp but he smelled delicious.

Lincoln closed his eyes, not wanting to see himself get ripped to shreds by this massive dog that was clearly not Lalo.

"MMMMPPPPHHHH!" Lincoln's entire face was smushed by the big dog's rough and slobbery tongue. All Lincoln could see was this big dog's tastebuds as it dragged up his face.

When it flicked off, Lincoln was allowed to breathe but he saw not-Lalo licks his lips as he stared down at him while glaring.

Becky and Ricky laughed as they watched the pinned preteen's face get doused. The two expected Lincoln to be given a wedgie but this was even better.

Malo suddenly got distracted by a squirrel dropping an acorn from a tree. Lincoln used this opportunity to crawl out from under Malo and escape.

Malo barked angrily as he saw the boy making a break for it.

Becky and Ricky were unhappy with this as well. Luckily, they knew the area more than Lincoln and Malo had his scent.

”I’ll get you too for this! If it’s the last thing I do!” Lincoln yelled.

The three kids suddenly heard the sound of sniffing.

”Do you hear that?” Ricky asked with a grin.

”No!” Lincoln looked down from the ladder and saw Malo entering the alley with his nose sniffing the ground.
