Johnny had been hiding behind one of the pool sheds with the human pack he had decided to join, they were a stupid and loud group but they were fun and Johnny had taken control easily. They had taken the tallest, beefiest of the group (who didn't know how to swim) and dressed him up in every inflatable harness and tubes they could find.
By the time the boys were done, Marcus was a waddling, rubber-covered inter tube monster and Johnny couldn't be prouder. They walked him out from behind the pool shed and pushed him in the direction of a gaggle of girls bitching about how cold the water was. "Sic 'em!" Johnny yelled and all of his little pet humans went after the girls, wreaking chaos.
He was about to join them when Johnny picked up a familiar scent and he smiled, looking to where Spike was swimming. He waited until Spike was about to pass where he was standing before jumping in and lightly taking a hold of the back of Spike's swimming shorts, tugging and laughing when he finally got the other boy's attention. "You're late, Fuzzy!"
