| Early morning, college track field.
"hAh-AaAhhh! IS it!? really important TO be running so -EARLY in the morning?!" Bernadetta thought, sweatily exhausted.
((Flash, flash!))
Confused, she asked, "Agnes??? How are you_ taking pictures, and still running at the same time?!?"
Grinning, she replied, "Whenever there's a potential headline, I find my methods."
)((Flash! Fla- FLASH!))(
Overeager, Bernadetta thought, "The end of THE line! Once I make it past the line, I will be able to relax... "
*A sudden tornado of footsteps!
| At that moment, I watched this girl run by all of us so fast, that all we could see was her ponytail.
*G'ruff! Ruff- gruf!!
| And for some reason, there was this black little dog running after her.
"hAaah-Aah!" Bernadetta sighed, as she tried to look alright.
"SILVIA!? Sil- Nijika, -you were so cool!" A mob of students cheered around the fast girl.
Interestedly, Agnes said, "Sil-via, was it hm? Do I smell fresh headlines in the making, here???"
"Silvia! You're so amazing!!" A student said.
The girl named Silvia said, contently, "Really? That isn't-Rheh_ what I'm about. Move back would you, I'm-Reh_ doing my post-run stretcheies!"
"G'ruff, r`eh!!!" The black dog barked, crabbily at everyone.
"Where did- Why is there a dog here???" The pushy crowd asked.
Agnes said to herself, aloud, "Even after running, she's still got enough stamina to stretch? I must investigate more!"
Bernadetta asked, quietly, "At this point I wonder... is there any place where you do not 'smell a story'?"
"Did- you say something just now?" Agnes asked.
"nNo!" She replied, quickly.
| Later, 2nd period.
*Various students whispering.
Bernadetta thought, stressingly. "How did I not notice before, a student like her in our class??? Why and how, is she exercising through a class?!"
Some girls said, "omg! She's stretching her legs and listening along! I know, she's so great!"
The teacher said, "And, the answer here is? (...) -Hello? Hello??"
| After school, the girls dorm.
"When I get back to my dorm, I wonder what I should eat for dinner tonight... " Bernadetta thought, as she slowly stopped. "Hello, IS everything alright, Agnes?"
*Point, point! Agnes hinted.
"G'rurh.. hur! g'rurHur!" The dog was grunting.
"Good pace, you're keeping there -Kichi!" Silvia affirmed her dog, while they both did push ups.
Bernadetta asked, panicked, "What are you- Agnes!? Wait----"
Overeagerly, she greeted, "Hi I'm Agnes, Photographer/Journalist, -and I'm over here to ask_ *Deep breath* how did YOU get your dog to workout with you!?"
As Silvia stood up, she replied, "My dog! Are you talking about -Kichi??!"
"G'ruh?" She grunted at them.
She answered excitedly, while still moving, "Kichi, she's my friend. My Shiba-Inu workout-Reh_ partner!"
Bernadetta asked, "Is she Rreally... "
*Snaps finger.
"It's timesies, you two-reheh_ want to help feed her??!" Silvia generously asked.
| Inside her dormroom.
*Clang!
"Is that one of those training dog bowls, I have heard of somewhere... " Bernadetta quietly said.
*Shakes bag.
Friendly, Silvia explained, "My doggy, she's always been picky. Her favorite, it's ham and quinoa."
Interested, Agnes said, "I guess I'll be first."
Kichi sniffed curiously, "g'ruh? *Sniff, sniff*"
Looking very pleased, she said, "She's actually eating from my palm!"
Tensely, Bernadetta thought, "I guess, it is my turn.. to feed her now... "
After her ears shot up, she growled, "Grhrrr-rrr! Bark!"
Bernadetta asked, "Why is she_ growling and backing away from me???"
Petting Kichi, Silvia worriedly explained, "Yeah, I don't know. She doesn't like some people, and I don't know why... "
"Urm, okay alright.. " She replied, as she panicked internally, "What can I do now... I do everything I can to make sure everyone will like me... but -why is this dog different??!"
"GrRr!" She growled again.
| End!
