"Here you go puppers, enjoy your day," a kind man spoke as he set two hotdogs on the ground. Letting Gidget pick hers first, Max woofed his thanks before grabbing his. Waving goodbye to the two dogs, the man continued on his way selling hotdogs on the streets of New York City.

"Oh my god these hotdogs are amazing Maxie," Gidget mumbled through a mouthful of food, sitting down beside a stop sign. Her boyfriend promptly sat beside her. "Yeah they are," he answered, eating his. The two dogs sat there and ate their lunch while the city continued about its day around them.

"You know, if it wasn't for the fact we're being hunted down by a bunch of human hating animals, I'd totally enjoy this," Max remarked as he finished eating his hotdog. Throwing hers up in the air and catching it, Gidget swallowed her food first before she replied, "I know. It's like we're on a date." Nuzzling her boyfriend lovingly, she asked, "Maybe we should just call it a date."

"Sounds like a plan, yes we are on a date," Max replied, giving Gidget a gentle kiss on her forehead. The fluffy white Pomeranian giggled in happiness. Gazing up at her boyfriend, she noticed a disturbed look on his face. "Max," Gidget said softly, "What's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just... can I ask you something?" Max asked quietly. Her ears perked up in interest, Gidget nodded her head. Shuffling his paws nervously, the Jack Russell terrier stuttered, "Do... do you ever... I don't know... do you sometimes have a little voice in your head?" Nodding her head again, Gidget answered, "I do."

"What does it sound like?"

"Come again?"

"The little voice in your head. What does it sound like?"

"Well, mine sounds like mine but it speaks in Spanish if that's what you mean," Gidget murmured. Tilting her head to the side as she met Max's gaze, she questioned, "What about yours?" Looking embarrassed, Max admitted, "Mine usually sounds like my voice. But today... I swear I'm hearing Rooster's voice."

"And... and what is your inner Rooster saying to you?" Gidget asked calmly. Max felt a wave of relief wash over him. At least she didn't think he was crazy. Placing his paw over hers, he stated, "Well, just now... it said that we are going to have an unexpected encounter."

"What up my dogs?!" Snowball shouted, startling the couple.
