(So if you guys didn't know, I was at my cousins house for a few day's. It's was onlh a day but I already hade a idea for a small chapter. This is another modren day AU for rebels sooooooo...enjoy)

It was a beautiful day outside. Hera and Ezra were brining chopper, the German shepherd out for a walk to the woods that they like to hang out at.

Hera pulled over next to the path that lead into the forest. "We're here" Hera announced as she opened the car door and got out. Ezra followed and opened the back of the car, allowing Chopper to jump out with excitement.

"Okay calm down Chopper" Hera told the dog as she put the leash on him. "Are you ready Ezra" Here asked him. "Yeah" Ezra replied as he stared at the dog.

Ezra had only met Chopper only about 2 time's. Most of the time, Chopper was either outside or in a separate room. Ezra was also a bit causios about the dog. Since Chopper was a German Shepered, and all he has ever herd about those dog's are that they are visious.

Hera thought it would be a good idea for Ezra to join her's and Chopper's walk. To be honest, Ezra was scared of Chopper. If Chopper came into the same room that he was in, Ezra would either run out of the room or go behind something or someone.

"Okay let's go" Hera said as they walked down the path and into the forest, ezra close behind them. As they walked, ezra looked around the area.

The sun was shining bright through the leaves in the tree's, you could hear bird's chirping and singing in the distance and the sound of flowing water could be hard from the small river they were walking beside.

"Ezra do you want to play a game with me and Chopper" Hera asked they boy. "Em no I'm fine" Ezra replied as he sat on a rock. "Come on. It's fun. Besides, we need more than two people" Hera told him.

"Fine what's the game?" Ezra asked her. "Well, I'll go hide somewhere in the forest, and after 30 seconds, I call Chopper and he has to come find me. If he dosen't in the next 30 seconds, you blow this whisel to call him back" Hera explained as she handed Ezra a small silver whisle.

"W..wait that means Chopper stays here with me" Ezra asked, not liking the idea of being with a dog he doesn't even know. "It'll be fine. I promis. Now count to 30 seconds and wait here" Hera told him. He only nodded.

With that, Hera ran off, disapearing into the forest, leaving a very afraid Ezra with Chopper. Ezra stated quiet, hoping the dog would forget about him standing next to him. After what felt like an internaty, Ezra herd Hera call Chopper's name.

With that, the dog bolted it into the forest, leaving Ezra truly alone. "Okay 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" Ezra started as he just stared up at the sky. After a few seconds, Ezra landed on 30. He pulled the whisle up and blew into it, making a high pitch sound.

There was silence at first. Then the sound of barking could be herd. Soon Ezra seen Chopper running with Hera close behind him. "Okay Chopper you found me. Now here is your treat" Hera said as she pulled out a small bag, full od dog treats.

Chopper ran to her and set down, trying to be a good boy to get treats. "Ezra do you want to give him the treat" Hera asked him. Ezra shook his head. "No thank you. I'm afraed that he'll bite me" Ezra told her.

"Come on Ezra. You have to get over this fear of dogs. Why are you so scared of them?" Hera asked the young boy. Ezra was silent for a momont.

"It's because back then, on the street's, when I had to steal to survive, sometimes people would call the cop's on me. When they came looking for me, they would have police dog's that are just like Chopper. One time, when I was running, one of those dog's bit my hand. I was able to get away but the bit got really bad. That's why I don't like dog's" Ezra explained.

Hera became saden. They family only met Ezra about 4 month's ago but still didn't know alot about his past or what life was like when he was on the street's.

"I'm..sorry. I didn't know" Hera said sadly. "It's okay. That was in the past and I have to stop living in the past and focuse on the futur" Ezra said with a smile. Hera smiled back.

"Well how about we start by you geting over your fears of dog's by you getting along with Chopper" Hera told him. Ezra looked at the dog and looked back at Hera. "Okay. I'll try that" Ezra told her.

"Good. How about you give him a treat to start off with" Hera explained she gave him a dog biscuit for Chopper. Ezra took it and slowly gave it to the dog. Chopper took the treat and started munching on it loudly.

"Now give him a pat on the head tell him he's a good boy" Hera told him. Ezra gulped but did what she had asked him to do. "Good boy" Ezra said as he patted the German Shepereds head.

The dog gave out a joyful bark, making Hera and Ezra chuckle. "See, Chopper is a nice dog" Hera told the boy. "Yeah. I guess your right" Ezra said with a smile on his face.

They walked and played for the rest of the day in the forest and has fun
