"So...whats eatting you?" The voice asked. Lucky didn't even hear him at first, too lost in his own thoughts. So much had happened to him lately, Lucky could bearly make sense of it all. And it had all happened so fast, his head would spin just trying to think about it all. He was currently gazing out the window of the hayloft, staring blankly on the stars when he felt someone tug on his tail. He whipped around, an angry snarl ceasing his lips, as he stared into the pale blue eyes of his best friend.

"Whoa man! L, lucky, are you ok?" Rolly asked. Lucky blinked once, then let his stance soften. His shoulders slumped, and the fur on his back settled down.

"No...I...yeah...I'm...fine Rolly. f, Fine." Lucky said quietly. Rolly shook his head, moving to wrap an arm around his friend, but Lucky pulled away.

"Hey, whats the matter buddy?" Rolly asked. Lucky sighed quietly and shook his head.

"N, nothing Rolly. Just...not myself lately. " Lucky whimpered quietly. Rolly nodded quietly, and moved to sit down next to his friend, gazing out the window.

"Well, I can see that. You wanna talk about it?" He asked. Lucky blinked a few times, before his gaze slowly swpet over towards his best friend, who resisted the urge to look back. He had felt monumentally better after telling Cadpig of his problems...

"Um...well, Rolly." Lucky began, before glancing around. There were sleeping pups everywhere..

"Outside....come on." Lucky said quietly, before bounding over to the latter and sliding down, not even waiting for Rolly to catch up. Once he was outside, he glanced behind him, and saw Rolly, somewhat limping towards him.

"Cramp..cramp...cramp..." He whined as he walked up next to Lucky, who was staring up at the pale orb in the sky.

"Well? What did you wanna tell me?" He asked. Lucky sighed deeply, turning to look at Rolly again.

"H, have you ever thought about boys, Rolly?" Lucky asked nervously. Rolly tilted his head, giving his sibling a quizzed look.

"I mean, like....you know. "Thought" about them...you know? I mean, like you know...you know?" Lucky asked sheepishly. Rolly only stared.

"I'mmmm not followin' ya." He says. Lucky gave a nervous laugh and sighed.

"Oh..nevermind. I just...boys! You know, like............sex." He said, his voice just below a whisper.Rolly's eyes widened, and a deep blush tinted his cheeks.

"Oh...um...n, not really." He says quietly, while Lucky looked away.

"I have......I, I don't know why, but...recently...I've been doing it a lot." He sniffled quietly, feeling a surge of tears welling up inside of him when Rolly started laughing. He looked up, ears perked for the piercing chuckles, and cutting snickers, but neither came. Rolly was just sitting there, looking at him quietly.

"Your gay?" He asked. Lucky shook his head wildly.

"No! nononono! I, I don't think so!! I've been trying to figure it out, I, I don't know , I don't think so, it's just all be happening so fast, and ,and.." Lucky babbled franticly before Rolly cut him off.

"Why do you care so much?" Rolly asked quietly. Lucky frowned.

"It's...not natural....you know. It's wrong. " He growled. Rolly shook his head slowly.

"And, who told you that?" Rolly frowned. Lucky looked down at the ground.

"No one...I guess, I mean, Mooch, and those guys, but it's just...I don't know. I'm just confused." The young pup whined. Rolly sat down next to him, and shot him a grin.

"Well, whatever you decide, we'll be best friends, always, ok?" He asks. Lucky slowly smiled, looking up at the other dog. He leaned forward, and nuzzled him a bit, before standing up.

"Lets go to bed." He said quietly. Rolly smiled and turns around, heading towards the barn, and Lucky watched quietly. Rolly....what a good dog. He was his best friend no matter what. No matter WHAT, and Lucky had known. He knew how the conversation was going to turn out, but still, he had gotten so wrapped up in himself, he had coxed himself into thinking things would end up horribly. He watched his friend walk away from him, a quiet sigh escaping his lips. Rolly was ..perfect...
