There was a rustle in a bush nearby. I reached for my scissors that were strapped to my back. A red dog with a huge smile jumped out of the bush. He stood in front of the boy defensively and growled at me. 

"Hey Smile it's okay. I invited her." he said to the dog. The dog sat down and said okay. "Th-The dog j-just t-talked!" I shouted freaking out. "It's okay, he knows how to speak the human language." he reassured me. 

I calmed down and reached out to pet him. At first he was reluctant, but let me nonetheless. I scratched him behind the ears. He made a low sound of satisfaction. "Aw... You're just a cutie aren't you?" I said starting to scratch him all over. 

He laid down on his back and I started to scratch him on the stomach. After I was done he shook his fur. The boy looked shocked at what just happened. I tilted my head to show my confusion. "I wasn't able to to that until a month after I met you!" he yelled offended. 

Smile ignored him and rubbed up against me like a cat would. "Hey! Who do you think took you in!" he yelled at Smile. Smile went up to him and licked his hand. "Sorry Jeff." Smile apologized. 'Jeff, that's his name.' I thought. 

Jeff bent down to his level and petted him. "Awww..." I fangirled. "What are you awing at?!" Jeff yelled, blushing. "You both just look so cute!" I said clutching my arms to my dress. Smile looked away and Jeff 'hmphed' at me. 

"Let's just go already Jeff said. "Okay." I responded. Jeff, Smile, and I walked to wherever we were going. "So where are we going?" I asked. "To Slender Mansion." he answered. "You mean THE Slender Mansion where THE Slenderman lives?" I asked sarcastically. "Mmmhmm." he responded. "Really?" 

"Yes, really." 

"Really." 

"Yep, I'm not kidding you." 

"Really, like, 100% sure, really?" 

"Yes, yes, yes, we are really going to THE Slender Mansion where THE Slenderman lives." 

"I doubt that, I mean, wasn't he just some urban legend?" 

"Yeah, but he's real." 

"Okay then, but I'm still not going to believe you." 

"Why not?" 

"Because you have no proof." 

"Look over there, there's one of his papers hanging up on a tree." 

"That could just be some prank made by teenagers." 

"You are just one stubborn person, aren't you?" 

"Yeah, so what?" 

"You'll be eating your words when we get there." 

"Yeah, okay, go ahead and believe that." 

"Oh I will." 

"Can you both stop arguing for 5 seconds! I swear, the last thing we need is another Jane in the house who you're always arguing with!" Smile scolded. "Yes Smile." we both replied simultaneously. A couple minutes of silence later we got to the Slender Mansion. "Ready to eat your words?" Jeff asked. "Ready to be decapitated if you say that one more time?" I asked. He shrugged and opened the doors.
