["I need the boys playing with puppers"]
[Okay yeah, I could do that, or...I could give you 5 year old boyfs playing with puppers]

[5 year old Boyfs]

Jeremy let out a shrill squeal when he hung up the phone, racing towards his Rainbow Dash backpack and slinging it over his back, booking it towards the front door.

Michael had just called him to invite him to come with him and his Ma' to the shelter, his Ma' was looking for a temporary job and figured Jeremy would enjoy keeping Michael company, "Dad, Ima go play with Michael!" Jeremy squeaked.

Mr.Heere was currently in his bedroom, drowning himself in TV and sorrow of being left, "Mhm...have fun..." He murmured back.

And with that, Jeremy was off. Michael had been waiting for Jeremy in the driveway, buckled into the double car seat. Before Jeremy and Michael were friends, which now they had been for the entire kindergarten year- it was now summer, Michael had had a single car-seat all to himself. However, since their friendship and constant visits, the visits increasing after Jeremy's mother had left, Mrs.Mell had taken the liberty of buying them their own double car-seat to share, of course, they both had separate buckles built in- for safety measures.

Jeremy skipped up to the van and waved at the kindly lady in the front, "Hi Mwisses Mwell~!" Jeremy giggled.

"Why hello there Jeremy." Mrs.Mell grinned fondly at the little boy, "Are you ready for puppies?"

Jeremy did a little dance and began squealing uncontrollably, nodding his head vigorously, "Uh-huh! Uh-Huh! Uh-Huh! Uh-Huh!"

"Well, hop on in then!" Mrs.Mell pressed a button on the roof of the car and an automated door opened, while Jeremy waited eagerly for it to click to a stop, he'd always been taught to wait for the click no matter what, even if he could squeeze in, the click was the safety lock and safety was an absolute must for Jeremy. And there it was, click! And Jeremy shot into that car as fast as he possibly could, he'd learned how to buckle himself in after countless times of Mrs.Mell doing it and he was more than prepared. Jeremy wriggled into his seat and pressed against Michael who was beside him, "I'm so excited!" He squealed once again, buckling himself in and squeaking the all clear, signaling Mrs.Mell to close the car door- and of course, wait for the click, before making her way down the driveway.

"Your father know about this, is that correct, Jeremy?" Mrs.Mell smiled through the rear-view mirror.

Jeremy nodded, "Mhm! I told 'im and he said i'was fine!" Jeremy smiled in returned.

"I'll leave you two to it then!"

To Michael and Jeremy, this meant that Mrs.Mell could no longer hear them and they were in their own protective bubble of secrecy. What this really meant was that Mrs.Mell was pretending not to hear and humming along to some nonexistent song on the nonexistent radio.

"Ya' know I was thinkin' Jer," Michael was kicking his legs back and forth.

"Yeah?" Jeremy could hardly contain his excitement.

"We should probably get a puppy when we get married, so we should look for one here and adopt it when we're older!" Michael smiled, giggling.

Jeremy frowned, "I-I told my dad you were my hub'nd and he said it wasn't right..." Jeremy shrugged, confused.

"Oh that's just cos' I'm not his hub'nd, he didn't mean it like that, he sayin' only you can be my hub'nd." Michael nodded surely.

"O-Oh!" Jeremy's face brightened, "M'kay then! Yeah, we can pick one out and name and then pick it up when we're older!"

"Yeah!"

The boys squealed in sync.

Mrs.Mell chuckled from the front seat.

***

Jeremy and Michael knew how to buckle themselves in, not unbuckle themselves. There was a bout of wining and kicking while they eagerly tried to break free, it felt like an eternity before Mrs.Mell was able to get into the backseat and press the few simple buttons to unbuckle the little boys, who instantly wriggled past her and bounded out of the car.

"B-boys! Use the buddy system and stop at the door!" Mrs.Mell called to them while she hurriedly tried to shut all the doors to get back to her boys.

"Yes Ma'!" Michael obeyed and grabbed Jeremy's hand, they sat by the door and began with a chorus of 'La La La' s, substantially off-tune, but excited none the less.

They sung a song they had recently learned, "Skwippin along the pavement! To see a brunette who I'd never met-" They were interrupted by Mrs.Mell grabbing both their hand and walking them out.

Michael let out a squeak of protest, grabbing behind his Ma' to hold Jeremy's hand once again.

Mrs.Mell smiled to the lady at the front desk, "I'm here for the job interview- I hope it's okay my little ones are here as well."

The desk clerk grinned, "Excellent! I'll have a representative be down here in a moment to be with you, as for your kids, I can take them to see the dogs- would you boys like that?"

The two leapt up and down excitedly, running towards the lady to let her guide them.

"That would be wonderful, thank you." Mrs.Mell dipped her head.

"Alright, Kiddos, my name is Mrs.Becca, I'll show you to the pups! Be careful though, there are some friendly goldens that might come up to you but it's okay, don't be afraid, they just want to show their love~"

Michael and Jeremy glanced at each other before sharing another bout of fits.

Mrs.Becca then proceeded towards a gate and began opening it, ushering the boys in and quickly closing the gate behind the three of them, "I'll be right here in the corner if you need me." She smiled and pulled out her phone to answer a call, "May? Yeah. I'll be home once my shift is done...yes...yes squeaks...mhm, he is, yeah, yeah a bean." She paused, "Please don't kick him...yet...yeah, mhm, okay love, ..." Her call continued while the boys looked out across the field.

Jeremy gasped as he saw all the dogs across the field, dogs of all shapes, pelts, and sizes, "Which ones first Mikey!!" He shrilled.

Michael bounced up and down, "I wanna' see them all!" He grabbed Jeremy by the hand and raced forward towards the puppies.

***

Mrs.Becca nodded, "Okay, see you then, love ya', bye." And with a click she hung up, not expecting the sight before her. She looked up and didn't see the boys at first, this should have been her first warning. She didn't take notice at first and began to pull out her phone again before hearing a scream.

"MICHAEL I WANT OFF! IT'S GOING TOO FAST!" Jeremy shrieked.

Mrs.Becca looked up and shook her head to see Michael chasing one of the golden retrievers...then...there was Jeremy...who was clinging to the dog as if it were a horse, "Oh god, this..." Becca shook her head and advanced, whistling for the dog to come over, "Dank! Com'ere boy!" She patted her leg and the dog, that carried Jeremy, raced towards her, she held out her hand to stop him, which he did, panting as he halted and waited to receive a treat. Mrs.Becca groaned and gave the pup a treat, before quickly scooping Jeremy off of the golden retriever and holding him, "That was a very naughty thing to d-"

Jeremy was wailing loudly, his heart beat still racing.

Mrs.Becca frowned with sudden pity.

"Give 'im to me! I can take him!" Michael reached up eagerly.

Mrs.Becca sighed and bent over to hand the fussy boy to the strong toddler.

Michael struggled to hold Jeremy and fell backwards on his bum, causing Jeremy to cling to him tighter. Michael adjusted the boy into his lap and hugged him tightly, patting his back like his mom would do and placing small kisses on Jeremy's cheeks...in a friendly manor, this is exactly what his mom did for him whenever he was scared, so he figured it was appropriate in this manor. And, it seemed to work as the cranky little boy began to calm down and sleepily burry his face in the crook of Michael's neck, letting out a deep sigh of contentment.

"I can't be mad at this..." Mrs.Becca muttered, "Now, come on boys...your mom is ready in the lobby, does that sound okay?" She smiled at them.

Jeremy nodded, "I wanna' hold Micha's hand though..." Jeremy sniffled.

Michael nodded and helped Jeremy to his feet, placing his hand in Jeremy's and following Mrs.Becca to the lobby.

Mrs.Mell was to esthetic to notice Jeremy's puffy eyes as she made her way to the car, the two trialing behind her. Jeremy was so tired that he didn't even wait for the beep, he just squeezed by without Mrs.Mell noticing, though Michael looked quite concerned- as if Jeremy had broken the law or something, though he had some sympathy for his friend and wouldn't call the cops on him for entering the door before the sacred click. He then bounced into his seat, along with Jeremy, and buckled himself in. He frowned when he saw that Jeremy was already falling asleep, forgetting to buckle up for once. So, Michael took the liberty of buckling Jeremy in and acting quick to scoot closer to him and leaning his head against him while Jeremy did the same. They both sighed, happy with their current state.

Mrs.Mell smiled back at the two little ones, "My boys..."
