Alright, it's here!
Chapter 2: Cages & Pins & Passwords, Oh My!
Gnarly was walking around town, looking in bushes and behind trees, finding nothing. Being unaware, he accidentally bumped into Spy Rise. "Hey, watch it!" Yelled Spy Rise. "Sorry, I'm busy looking for strays for my business." "Oh, I see. Well, I picked up 2 strays last week, if you want to take them." "Sure! Where are they at?" "They're back at my house, just follow me. Gnarly followed Spy Rise.
"Well, here you go." said Spy Rise, handing over 2 cages, containing Sonic Boom in one and Pop Thorn in another. "Be careful though, Sonic Boom is pretty aggressive." warned Spy Rise. "Alright, thank you!" said Gnarly, walking away. Gnarly heard something to the right of him, so he looked over, seeing Chopper. He thought about getting him, but sadly he couldn't, since he had his hands full. He continued walking. Pop Thorn suddenly said, "Where exactly are you taking us?" "I'm putting you up for adoption so you can find a nice home! I'm putting you in a pin first, but soon I'll let y'all run free around in a pet shop!" Gnarly said enthusiastically. "That sounds nice!" said Pop Thorn. "No it doesn't." said Sonic Boom sadly. "Ah come on, I'm sure you'll love meeting new friends!" Gnarly said, putting them both in the pin. "Just stay here for now, Okay?" said Gnarly.
It was almost sunset, so Gnarly sat down by the pin. Pop Thorn said, "Hey, don't you have a home?" Gnarly sighed. "No, I have nothing. This is why I am doing this. I've been so lonely and broke, I needed something to do." "Oh. Just to let you know, we feel the same." murmured High Five. "It's so...pointless, isn't it?" Asked Gnarly. "What is?" said Wreck. Everybody looked at him. "Are you really that stupid?" asked Sonic Boom. "Biscuits are my homedawgs!" said Wreck. "Password correct!" said a voice from above.
Suddenly something jumped out of the tree above the pin. "Name's Hot Dog." said Hot Dog. "I am a dog, I'm on fire, I'm cool, I'm awesome, I'm-" "Hey, hey, hey!" interrupted Sonic Boom. "Yeah?" asked Hot Dog. "Nobody cares!" said Sonic Boom. Hot Dog said, "Oh. Well, what are y'all doing?" "Making a pet shop." said Gnarly. "Wanna join?" "Sure!" said Hot Dog with excitement. Gnarly put him in the pin with the rest of them. Everyone went to sleep for the night.~
