Malik: Dom better think of something quick.. what am I going to tell my parents? Maybe I'll run away.. They can't kill me if they can't find me right?
Malik: This should be far enough..
::sigh:: what if they find me.. they are going to kill me. I'm so dead. Stupid Dom and his blind date idea, I said I didn't want to do it. Then he brought booze on top of that.. ugh..
Simpson out for a run, comes upon sad little Malik in the park near our house.
Simpson: Hey!!
Malik: ::sobbing:: **thinking he's been found** please don't kill me!! I'm sorry!!
Simpson: Kill you..? What the...?
Simpson: Hey buddy.. I'm not gunna kill you.. why would anyone want to kill you?
Malik: **realizing it's not his parents*** ... Who are you?
Simpson: My name is Simpson.. what's yours?
Malik: ::still sobbing:: I'm Malik...
Simpson: Are you okay? why are you so upset?
Malik: ... I don't want to talk about it.
Simpson: Oh come on.. you can talk to me.
Malik: I don't even know you.
Simpson: Exactly so I can't have a biased opinion
::smiles::Malik: It's just a long story..
Simpson: I've got all the time in the world. I'm a good listener.
Malik: ::sigh:: It was just a bad day..
Simpson: Bad day you say.. hmm. Well how about this.. why don't you come over to my house to play for a little while to get your mind off your bad day.
Malik: You know.. that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Simpson: I'll introduce you to my friends, it will be fun.
Malik: Alright I'm up for it. ***thinking: better start looking for new homes now.. before I get disowned***
Simpson: Thatta' boy!
Simpson: Come on! My house is this way!
Malik: Right behind ya Simpson!
Torino: Ma!!!
Me: What?
Torino: There's mischief a foot!
Me: huh?
Torino: ::giggles:: i don't know.. someone's coming. They are following Simpson home.
Me: You goofball, hopefully it's no more lady friends.
Torino: But those are the best kinds of friends
::sly wink::Me: ::rolls eyes::Simpson: Well Malik here it is! Welcome!
Malik: Haha Thanks.
Torino hears the name Malik and realizes who he is..Simpson: Hey look it's my buddy Torino! Torino!!! come over here!!! Say hi to my new friend Malik!
Malik: DID YOU SAY TORINO?!? No no don't bring him over here!
Simpson: Oh don't worry.. Torino isn't as bad as everyone says. I'll be right back i'm gunna go grab some toys.
Torino:... Hiya Malik... I'm...
Malik: ::cuts Torino off:: Oh no! Don't Hiya Malik me! Don't even talk to me! Get away from me!!
Torino: Malik.. just let me talk to you..
Malik: Why should I?! Because your my father? Pfft.. takes more then you mating with my mother to call yourself my father.
Torino: Malik...
Malik: Don't!
Torino: Don't talk to me like that Malik! I wanted to be part of your life!
::glares::Malik: Oh yea? You did a great job at that didn't you?
::returns glare::Torino: They wouldn't let me! Chedey claimed you as his son, and didn't even want you to know about me!
Malik: That's because you almost ruined their marriage!
Torino: It takes two to tango Malik. We never meant for it to happen..
Malik: I know.. I was a mistake.
Torino: You weren't a mistake Malik..
Malik: No.. I know I was.
::pouts::Torino: Stop Malik. I love you... and your mother and Chedey love you very much, and they wouldn't want you talkin' like that.
Malik: They won't once they found out what I've done...
Torino: What happened Malik?
Malik: It wasn't my idea!
Torino: What idea? what happened?
Malik: Me and my buddy went on a blind date.. that I didn't even want to go on.. and he brought alcohol..
Torino: **thinking that's my boy*** and...? you got someone pregnant?
Malik: I might have. I overheard people talking.. and they said that one of the girls was pregnant, but they didn't know who the father was.
Torino: You don't remember anything from the night?
Malik: No, not really.. I blacked out.
Torino: Hmmm.. then it couldn't of been you
Malik: How do you know?
Torino: Well I don't, but neither do you. Say it couldn't of been you because you blacked out. You were drunk. When in doubt just blame the alcohol.
Malik: I don't think Mom will accept that as an excuse.
Torino: Hmm... well that always works for me.. I guess you could blame it on me...?
Malik: Oh sure I bet Dad would love me throwing your name around.. He will be upset enough that we met.
Torino: Chedey knew you would meet me sooner or later, he won't resent you for it. Stop beating yourself up Malik.
Malik: I just wanted to be good, and make my dad proud. I wanted to be like him and not like...
Torino: ::sigh::Malik: Sorry..
Torino: It's okay. I know that no one wants their kid growin' up all messed up like me.
Malik: Your not "messed up" Torino, your just not much of a family man, like Chedey.
Torino: I know kid. But you could still do the right thing with the situation your in.
Malik: I don't think I am ready to be a dad yet.. I'm still growing up myself.
Torino: Ready or not.. those pups are comin' you really only have two options.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Torino: Guess your owner will be by to get you soon.
Malik: Yea, I bet she won't be happy that I took off.
Torino: It will be alright Malik, you'll be fine.
Malik: Torino.. You said I had two options about the pups..What exactly are my options..?
Torino: The Torino route... or the Chedey route..
