Cherry's Adventures of Rover Dangerfield

chapter 14

Rover, Ellie May, and Raffles were now herding sheep. Raffles and Ellie May smiled while Rover was out of breath.

"That was fun." Ellie May smiled.

"You okay, Rover?" Raffles asked.

Rover shook himself and approached the sheep.

"What is he about to do?" Ellie May asked.

"I don't know if I wanna know..." Raffles groaned.

Ellie May sighed and decided to go after Rover.

"All right, you cotton balls," Rover assembled the sheep like an army. "Listen up! I'm only gonna blab this once. Your Little Bo Peep days are over! Your mommies aren't here to take care of ya," he then looked down to the littlest sheep in the flock. "From now on, I'm your mommy! Now get this, you're gonna graze harder than you ever grazed before, you may end up hating me, but I'll make sheep out of ya! Always stay in a tight group, and no stampeding! Now, if you're gonna keep running back and forth, screw up, and you're lambchops! Remember, they're out there waitin' for ya with the mint jelly! Now, do we understand each other?"

"Baah!" The sheep responded.

"I can't hear you!" Rover replied.

The sheep then bleated louder.

"All right," Rover remarked. "Let's move out, move out!"

"Well that happened." Ellie May said.

There was then a distant barking heard. Rover looked over and saw the cornfield and there was another female dog barking to a bunch of invading crows.

"Who's that?" Ellie May asked as she noticed the female dog as well.

"Wow..." Rover looked rather lovestruck.

"Oh, her? That's Daisy," Raffles replied. "She's from the other farm next door."

"You mean the one that Patch and the others are at?" Ellie May asked.

"No, no, there's another farm not too far away from here, this is a popular country land." Raffles replied.

"Ohh." Ellie May smiled.

"What a doll!" Rover started to make his way over to Daisy.

"Whoa! Rover, you can't leave; all three of us are suppose to watch over and herd the sheep." Ellie May said.

"Hey, you and Raffles take a break..." Rover pushed her over slightly. "I'll watch the sheep. It's okay, trust me, yeah, I'll see ya later."

"Rover..." Ellie May sounded firm as she knew he wanted to go see Daisy.

"Go on, besides it should be easy watching these sheep that and you two could use some alone time, if you know what I mean." Rover said.

Ellie May blushed to that. "Well, okay, I just hope you know what you're doing..." she then went to go see Raffles.

"Oh, trust me, I do." Rover said.

"Erm... Hi, wanna do something?" Ellie May came up to Raffles.

"I'm just curious how you grew overnight." Raffles replied.

"I don't know, all I know is that I dreamed of being older and even wished if my dream would come true while I was asleep," Ellie May said. "And then the next thing I know; I'm older."

"Hmm... I usually don't believe in magic, but I guess I do now." Raffles smiled. "You look more beautiful than you did before."

This caused Ellie May to blush while smiling bashfully. Raffles smiled back to her while Rover was obviously falling in love with the dog next door.
