Spotty World I - My Stepdad's Daughter Was My Ex-Girlfriend

Saturday Night's Alright Part 1

I mention a van in this chapter. I don't know much about vehicles, so I'm not ashamed to admit that I copied Vanzilla from The Loud House.

DANTE

Saturday.

Usually, the day of the week when you can rest and spend quality time with family and/or friends after a busy week.

At least, if you're not Dante.

"That should do it." The inverted Dalmatian said, rubbing a handkerchief on his sweaty forehead while holding a wrench with his other hand.

"Thanks, Dante! You're the best!" Delgado said enthusiastically.

Dante spent the last half hour in the backyard, changing the wheels on Delgado's wheelchair that had gone limp.

It was not an easy task for a dog without much manual skill like Dante, but as an older brother he was willing to help.

"(chuckles) You're welcome." He replied smiling, but then assumed a serious expression. "But please try to remember that this wheelchair is only for moving."

Delgado smiled sheepishly, scratching behind his head.

"Sorry. I've got really excited."

"It's ok. Now, get ready. We leave in less than an hour."

With a smile on his face, Delgado climbed into the wheelchair and went inside.

Dante just smiled, not quite surprised that Delgado was running at top speed.

Delgado was a good puppy, but he still caused problems at times.

Even though he was born with only thighs, Delgado has not been standing still since he started to crawl, and when he started using a wheelchair it was even more difficult to stop him.

Due to Doug being a somewhat overprotective father, Delgado currently had three wheelchairs, the one Dante just repaired for normal day-to-day situations, a folding one in the trunk of the family van for when they had to leave the house, and the third, which was the cause of the current problem.

During the family's last year in California, Dolly took Dante, Delgado and Dee Dee with her to buy her new skateboard at a sports equipment store, while Doug took DJ and the Dimitri Trio to the last dentist appointment they had before the move.

That day, they were introduced to sports wheelchairs, and after two months of insistence on the part of the siblings, Doug ended up buying one for multiple sports.

That in itself was not a problem, as Delgado ended up becoming as skilled at WCMX as Dolly and Dee Dee were at Skateboarding.

The problem was Dolly.

Since Delgado was only nine years old, Doug decided that he could only use his sports wheelchair when supervised, which was not usually a problem, as Dolly always took Delgado and Dee Dee with her when she went skateboarding.

However, last summer, it started to change. At first, she just seemed constantly sad, but after a while she started to go to the park less and less, and some time after Doug started dating Delilah, she only left the house for school.

Dante immediately took over some of Dolly's responsibilities, Dee Dee was able to find other things to do, and most of the boys were finding a way to adapt. However, Delgado was a different matter. The hyperactive puppy was constantly with too much energy to spend, to the point of trying to do some stunts using his regular wheelchair.
