## Story

Dakota happily strode into the Lookout playroom, looking for Kasey. The Miniature Pinscher had special hydrangeas in his paws, knowing that his girlfriend would like them, but before he could even get close to Kasey, Nayah blocked his path.

"I'm sorry Dakota, Kasey's on a mission with Ryder and Chase and Rocky so she won't be back for a while." "I'll take the flowers and tell her you sent them if you like." Nayah offered kindly, but Dakota sighed sadly, walking out of the Lookout to see Kyla approaching.

"Oh, hello, Dakota." Kyla said kindly as Dakota just stared at her, obviously smitten with her.

"What?" "If you're dropping hints that you like me, you'd better stop, please." "Kasey would be so furious if she found out, and I like Nayah." Kyla said gently, but firmly.

"Oh, I had no idea you had a mate." "I apologize." Dakota apologized sincerely as he handed Nayah the beautiful hydrangeas. The Dalmatian Saint Bernard Doberman mix took the flowers, gently putting them into a beautiful purple and yellow vase.

"Kasey should be arriving soon." "You two can meet up then." Nayah said softly. Dakota sighed again, leaving the Lookout. He then heard a familiar vehicle drive up and saw Kasey get out of her vehicle, walking right towards him.

He then raced back inside to get the hydrangeas he had picked for her, but instead slammed straight into Rocky, splashing water all over him.

"Ruff!" "Towel!" Kyla barked as a towel popped out of her Pup Pack. Rocky grinned at her, smiling, even though he was drenched.

"Thanks, Kyla." Rocky said thankfully. The spy pup grinned at her teammate happily.

"I'm always happy to help, Rocky." Kyla grinned. She then smiled as Kasey walked in, letting out a sigh. She and Chase and Marshall had been called to stop a robbery and now that the robber had been put in jail, she felt tired.

"Hey, Kasey." Dakota grinned shyly, leading her outside to show her the beautiful hydrangeas he had picked for her.

"Dakota.. They're beautiful." Kasey breathed. She nuzzled him affectionately as he nuzzled her back as the wolf hybrid pup started to fall asleep.

*The Next Morning*

Nayah yawned and stretched out as she slowly exited her pup house, seeing Dakota with another female pup. Thoughts of anger and rage overtook her as she watched then walk over to where she was.

*Dakota's cheating on Kasey! I have to tell her! But I can't accuse someone of doing something if I don't have any proof..* Nayah thought.

"Dakota, what are you doing?" "Are you cheating on Kase?" "Is this what you've been doing for about a week now?" Nayah growled softly.

"I saw this beautiful girl pup named Emma and she said she needed someone to talk to." "She asked me to be her mate, and I told her that I would think about it." Dakota smiled nervously.

"That's not okay!" "You're never supposed to be with another female pup if you're already in a relationship with one!" Nayah said fiercely.

"But Kasey isn't here." "She's out on a mission with Chase and Rocky." Dakota retorted.

"That's still not okay, Dakota." Kyla said firmly. She grabbed him up by the scruff and led him into the Lookout, but Dakota ran outside and nuzzled Emma as Kasey got out of her vehicle, walking over. Tears of anger and rage pulled her eyes as she watched Dakota and Emma nuzzling each other.

"Wh-What's going on?" Kasey murmured softly as Nayah growled again.

"Kasey!" "It's not what it looks like!" "Em is my sister!" Dakota said quickly as Nayah whacked him on the head with a stick hard enough for him to think straight but not too hard to hurt him.

"Stop lying, Dakota, you know I'm your girlfriend." Emma said softly.

"G-Girlfriend?" "What about me, Dakota?" "I thought you told me I was your number one, that I was your only pup, that I was the only one you would ever talk to and love, that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me and have pups with me." Kasey sputtered, more tears pooling in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Kase.." Dakota said remorsefully, walking over to the hybrid pup to try and nuzzle her and fix things, but Nayah whacked him on the head with the same stick she had whacked him with before.

"You need to leave." "I never want to see you again!" Kasey said as Dakota took Emma's paw in his, leaving the Lookout. Once he was gone, Kasey looked at Nayah, who smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry, Kase, you deserve better." Nayah said as she hugged her best friend close. Kasey sighed and sniffled as she went into her pup house, slamming the door behind her.

"Poor Kasey." Rocky sighed. The mixed breed watched as Nayah walked towards Kyla, whispering something to her.

"We should help Kase." "She did just get her heart broken after all." Kyla whispered.

"I know that, Ky-Ky, but what should we do to help?"
