《Pup Star: The New Pup Star》Betrayal
Advertisement
So it became morning, it was also the day of the second Pup Star rehearsals. But of course, Lily forgot all about it. She yawned and then stretched. Pluto was sleeping right by her side. He yawned, too. "Well, let's get some breakfast! He said hoping off the train and then looking at her. She just smirked at him raising her eyebrow. "Don't worry, I won't steal it. Pluto smiled. This made Lily happy.
At the restaurant, the two pups were eating. When Pluto saw Pup Star on the TV, he said, "Oh no. Lily, I'm so sorry, I forgot ALL about the rehearsals..." Lily's ears perked up and then said, "Umm, it's... it's okay, Pluto. You- you didn't know, heh," Lily said. Pluto looked down and mumbled, "Actually, I did..." But Lily heard what he said. She stood up. "What? She sounded like she was about to get mad. Pluto's ears went down as he unfolded the truth. "I- Bark- Bark..." Pluto stuttered. "Bark what?! Lily said with a raised voice as she wondered in her head how this was "Bark's" fault. "Bark promised- he promised me that he would find me a loving home! If I... if I kept you away from the Pup Star auditions as long as possible..." Pluto revealed. Lily was shocked. Inside her head, she was saying a whole bunch of things that she wouldn't say out loud.
Lily just sighed and said with her eyes closed, "Pluto, I trusted you and you lied to me... I forgave you when you left me for the dog catcher. I didn't report you to the police when you stole food! And this is how you repay me?" Lily said directly into Pluto's eyes. She was very mad and sad and felt betrayed but yet, her voice sounded calm. Her facial expressions even looked calm. Pluto felt ashamed. "Lily, I'm SO sorry-" Pluto started but then once again Lily cut him off by saying, "No, Pluto. I'M sorry. I'm sorry for trusting you. I feel sorry for you though. I don't know if you noticed this but BARK never keeps his promises." Lily said still calm and then she added, "He's a liar... just like you." Lily glared and then jumped out of her seat and walked off. Pluto just closed his eyes and sighed from watching her walk off.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
