Author's Note: Hey everyone I'm really sorry for the long wait. Anyway this chapter will include Pumpkin again. I used her in Saving The Baby Dragon but I'm using her again and she's a White Maltese poodle mix pup. She belongs to annewheelerfab1 who is letting me use her OC and she is Georgie's puppy. Anyway, thank you to annewheelerfab1 for letting me use her OC in my story. You should really check out her stories, especially her Adventures Of Pumpkin book. It's really good and I love it. That's what inspired me to get permission to use Pumpkin because I loved her so much. Anyway sorry for the long note. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you thought.

   "Tessa," Georgie called out excitedly once she opened the door to see her best friend standing outside her door as she was happy to finally see her friend again. "Georgie," Tessa called out excitedly as well as she hugged Georgie who wasted no time in hugging back.

        Tessa was pulled from the hug though when she felt the small tug at her shirt as the small four year old was scared seeing the new girl and she was trying to cling to Tessa not wanting to be seen by the stranger.

         Mal wanted to cry though when that just did the opposite as Tessa just laughed and then picked Mal up. "Aw Mal do you want to say hi to Georgie," Tessa asked the small girl, making her shake her head no as she buried herself in Tessa's shirt, making both young adults laugh a little at how cute the small girl was acting.

        "Aw it's okay cutie I won't hurt you," Georgie told the small girl in her most gentle voice trying to calm Mal down, but it just did the opposite as Mal just clung tighter to Tessa as she started crying a little just wanting the attention off of her.

        Again this resulted in the opposite as it just brought more attention to Mal especially because it made Georgie feel guilty for accidentally making the young girl cry. "Aw Mal it's okay. She's my friend and she's really nice," Tessa told the four year old in her gentle voice trying to calm Mal down.

        "I know it can be scary to be in a new place huh. But it's okay. Maybe we should try this over again. Hi I'm Georgie and I'm your sister's friend," Georgie told the small girl making her giggle a little.

          She was still scared, but she was starting to feel a little better. Mal was about to respond when she was interrupted by Georgie's puppy Pumpkin who happened to walk by and see that her owner and Tessa who she was pretty close with as well were giving all of her attention to this random child she had never seen before.

          Pumpkin had no clue who this child was, but she didn't like how everyone was so focused on this small child and not even paying attention to her. "Hey you need to back up those are my people not yours," Pumpkin barked out hoping to intimidate the child, but instead it just did the opposite.

           As Mal was in complete awe at the fact that she had just heard a dog talk. "Doggy talks!" The four year old screamed out excitedly as she squirmed away from Tessa and ran over to Pumpkin.

           Pumpkin was about to get mad at the little girl as she was still mad that this child had just barged her way into her home and taken all of her attention away, but she couldn't do it once the little girl hugged her she felt warmth, but Pumpkin quickly pushed that feeling away as she would not let this child manipulate her.

           This was her home and those were her people; they did not belong to whoever this child was. "No, don't hug me! Who even are you!" Pumpkin barked out to the little girl making her giggle as she was so excited to be talking to a dog.

            "I'm Mal and I'm this many! I'm here with my Auntie Tessa! I was with Auntie April before but she was a meanie, so now I'm with Auntie Tessa!" Mal practically screamed out in excitement as she held up four fingers showing off her age to the puppy.

              Pumpkin just looked at the young girl in shock as she tried to take in the information from the rambling child. She was pretty sure she heard the words April in there which was a shock to her as she had met April before in fact April had pet sat before. She hated it but she did.

            She also knew who Tessa was for some time now yet Tessa had never once talked about this child or even acknowledged that she knew April. Before Pumpkin could start questioning this child again Georgie and Tessa came over as they were going back to Tessa's.

            "Mal come one we're going back to our house," Tessa told the small girl and Georgie joined in calling for Pumpkin who followed after Georgie while Mal quickly ran over to Tessa. "Yay! Is mommy home yet!" Mal asked Tessa who laughed a little as she grabbed Mal's hand.

              "Not yet, but she should be soon," Tessa told Mal who just nodded as she became less excited. "Oh otay but we go home right," Mal asked Tessa who laughed as she nodded. "Yeah Mal we just came here to pick up Georgie and Pumpkin, but now we're all going back to the house Tessa told Mal as she buckled her into her carseat.

               "Otay! Auntie Tessa the doggy talks!" The young girl told Tessa, making her laugh as she found Mal's imagination to be adorable as she couldn't understand Pumpkin like Mal could.

               "Does she," Tessa playfully told the small girl, making her nod and laugh as she couldn't tell that Tessa was just playing around. "Yeah! I heard her," the small girl told Tessa excitedly, making her laugh as she got into the driver's seat and Georgie placed Pumpkin in the car as she got in as well.

                 "So what's it like having a little sister," Georgie playfully told Tessa, making her laugh as she ran her fingers through Mal's hair while Mal was just obliviously watching the show cuddled up on Tessa.

                "It's been pretty fun. She's the cutest and sweetest thing ever. She can be a little bit of a trouble maker, but I think it's adorable. Evie doesn't think that way though," Tessa playfully told her friend once they had gotten back to the house while Mal was watching Dragon Tales oblivious to everything else and Pumpkin was sitting curled up by Georgie.

                 "Aww that's cute you know she kinda reminds me of Pumpkin," Georgie told Tessa, making her laugh as she had to admit that was definitely a pretty accurate comparison. "I was gonna say that. She definitely does," Tessa told Georgie, making Georgie laugh while Pumpkin just looked at the two trying to understand what they were saying.

                   They were comparing her to Mal, but she just didn't see it. She was nothing like that child, at least she didn't think so. Okay so maybe she could see some similarities, but still Pumpkin was her own.

              "Yeah she does, so what's it like having so many sisters along with a little one," Georgie asked Tessa, trying to catch up with her friend's life.

                     "It's really cool actually. I love having such a supportive family and the adventures we get into are so much fun. It's never boring in this house," Tessa told Georgie, making her laugh as she nodded.

                      "Yeah I can see that," Georgie began and she was about to say more when the door barged open as Lola had just gotten home causing the small girl who had been cuddled up with Tessa to jump up as she ran to Lola.

                        "Auntie Lola!" Mal screamed out excitedly as she ran as fast as she could towards Lola making Pumpkin look up in shock to see that the girl was definitely the same Lola that she knew.

                         "Aw hey kid look what I got you!" Lola told the small girl as she pulled out a strawberry ring pop making Mal's face light up in even more excitement as that was her favorite candy.

                         "Yay!" The small girl screamed out in excitement as she took the ring pop and opened it. "Still just as irresponsible as I remember," Georgie jokingly called out, making Lola look over as she had been so distracted with Mal to notice Georgie and Pumpkin.

                          "Oh hey long time no see and I wouldn't call this irresponsible I would call it cheating your way to the favorite," Lola playfully told Georgie as she hugged her. Georgie had become one of her pretty close friends while she was still living in her old home before she had found out about her real family.

                           "I knew you were cheating," Tessa playfully told Lola who just shrugged. "Hey whatever works, am I right besides I'm still competing against Uma she had two whole years with her. I have to up my game to beat her," Lola told Tessa who just rolled her eyes playfully.

                           "You know Evie isn't going to be happy when she finds out," Tessa told Lola who just shrugged again as she threw herself down on the couch. "Oh hey Pumpkin remember me girl," Lola told the puppy who was still just staring at Tessa and Lola in shock as she had no clue what was going on but this was creeping her out.

                            "Auntie Lola the doggy talks," Mal told Lola who just laughed as she pulled Mal close to her and tickled her making Mal start giggling. "Aw you're so silly," Lola told the small girl as she continued to tickle her and make her giggle.

                            "So Lola is your sister now," Georgie asked Tessa who just laughed a little. "Yeah she is. It's crazy huh and she totally has me beat for favorite aunt, but I'm pretty sure I'm second favorite aunt," Tessa playfully told Georgie who laughed as she watched Lola who was playing around with both Mal and Pumpkin.

                            "Yeah I can see that, so do you want to have some fun since I think Lola has Mal and Pumpkin occupied," Georgie told Tessa who just looked at Georgie. "Are you sure aren't you afraid Pumpkin will try to get out again," Tessa asked Georgie as she knew how adventurous Pumpkin could be when Georgie wasn't around.

                            Georgie just looked around at the clearly baby proofed house as Evie had completely secured everything. There was so way Pumpkin could get out like that. "No I think this house is pretty secure," Georgie told Tessa who smiled and nodded.

                           "What do you have in mind," Tessa asked Georgie, who smirked as she pulled out a blonde wig, colored contacts, and the same British flag shirt and red jacket that Tessa recognized right away.      

                       "I think it's time Bella Snow made another appearance," Georgie told Tessa who smiled as she nodded. "Oh this is going to be fun," Tessa told Georgie who smiled as she held the stuff up.

            "So are you in," Georgie asked Tessa who laughed as it was pretty obvious her answer already. "Of course I'm in. I want to see if I can trick them," Tessa told Georgie who laughed as she led Tessa to the bathroom to change her appearance again.

         Once Tessa and Georgie had left it was just Mal, Pumpkin, and Lola who was distracted by the TV again. "Auntie Lola! Auntie Lola! Auntie Lola!" Mal called out trying to make sure Lola was distracted before she smiled and got up.

          "Yay Auntie Lola is busy again!" Mal called out excitedly as she grabbed her dragon stuffed animal. Pumpkin just watched the girl in confusion as she didn't understand what Mal was doing until she looked back at her.

           "Oh sorry I forgotted you were here! Do you wanna come with me!" The small girl asked Pumpkin who had to admit she was starting to like this little girl besides Pumpkin could never say no to an adventure.

           "Sure but where are we going," Pumpkin barked out to the little girl who smiled as she struggled to get the door open. "We're gonna help my mommy and King Ben get together, so I can get a daddy so are you coming," Mal told the puppy innocently as she just wanted a complete family with two parents.

            "Yeah I'm in let's go," Pumpkin barked out as she knew the plan sounded ridiculous, but she did love a good adventure and for some reason she didn't like the thought of the small girl wandering around by herself with no one to protect her.

             "Yay!" Mal called out excitedly as she finally managed to get the door open as she made her way out the door and started walking towards Ben's castle where she knew her mommy was and the puppy followed after her secretly looking out for any danger that could be lurking around as she couldn't hide it anymore she likes the little girl and she had to admit maybe Mal was like her.
