Adopted Pups(Seven of Eleven, Rex)

[DarkHeart]

(OCC: September 3rd, afternoon. Bonding thread for Rex, Domino, Buddy, and Junie with their masters. DarkHeart is gonna be here for the beginning then leave)

Junie and Domino were quite confused. Domino was glad to have his brothers and sisters but felt vulnerable without a master. Junie was also feeling vulnerable, and a bit jealous, that Buddy, Patch and Penny were adopted but not her. She and Domino wished for companions to protect them. They waited for Seven of Eleven and Rex while DarkHeart gave them specific collars with new master's names. Seven of Nine was right next to her, looking softly to the puppies. Seven of Nine assured them "I promise Seven of Eleven, DarkHeart and I will explain shortly. We'll just wait for Rex and then we'll go from there"

DarkHeart smiled to Seven of Nine "It's a wonderful thing you asked for, Mother"
Seven of Nine smiled, pleased any time DarkHeart called her mother "Yes, I'm so excited. We'll make our family bigger"
Domino looked around, turning to Junie "It seems like a good thing, right Junie?"
Junie nodded, hopeful "I really hope so"

[Mano Black]

Rex was confused as to what was going on. He'd grown closer to Patch and was now dating the puppy. And couldn't believe someone would want him. And he saw a few other Dalmatian puppies but didn't see Patch or some other of his siblings. As he drew closer to the group he nodded.

"An explanation would be good. Is Patch coming?" asked Rex, half expecting Patch to show up.

Seven of Eleven watched them and smiled. She'd followed bringing with her Rex and Mano.

"Well now that we're all here we can get started." said Seven.

She paused looking around not seeing Buddy.

"I guess Buddy must be late." said Seven.

Mano walked out spotting the group and grinned. He had grown close to animals like his counterpart in Critic's army. He missed his Souchi but he thought taking in one of the dogs would help. But when Seven said she didn't see Buddy he smiled.

"He must be running late. I guess we'll have to wait for him to start." said Mano.

[Buddy]

Junie looked around, wondering what was up when Buddy barked down "Wait for me! Wait for me!" He was just coming back from a date with Penny. He was surprised to hear that Mano and Seven of Eleven were looking for him. After some tender good-byes with Penny, Buddy raced down. He crashed into Domino, replying bashfully "Sorry Domino!" Buddy looked up, smiling shyly "Hey Mano. Hey guys" He turned to Seven of Eleven, blushing "Sorry I was late! I heard you were calling for me!"
XXXXX

Domino laughed as Buddy crashed into him "It's okay Buddy, it's not the first time"
Junie rolled her eyes at her brothers, turning to Seven of Eleven "Hi Seven of Eleven. I think we're all here"
Seven of Nine picked Rex up, replying "Yes, everyone is here. It's best we finally get started"
DarkHeart turned to Seven of Nine "Do you wish to tell them, Mother"

Seven of Nine nodded "Yes. I shall" She pulled Mano and Seven of Eleven close, taking the collars DarkHeart made. She replied with a soft, gentle smile "You see my little ones. Penny and Patch are not here due to a specific thing" She smiled excitedly "Seven of Eleven, Mano and myself wanted to adopt you three. To take you in and welcome you into our family" Buddy, Junie and Domino gasped, excited and hopeful. Seven of Nine replied "This isn't a requirement perse but it would protect you from outside sources and you would have a family here if you wish" Seven of Nine looked to Rex, smiling at him especially "We would take such good care of you"
