Who: Doug Funnie and Patti Mayonnaise What: Looking for a new dog for Doug When: Mid Day October 1st Where: Doug's and then the pet store Rating: PG
Things had definitely been strange for Doug since coming to this strange new place. He had met Linus, who was much like Skeeter and Patti was there as well. There were cheerleaders with comic book loving nursing major friends and a bunch of people who were very friendly to him. No more did people pick on him because his sister had married the class bully. It was refreshing and a little bit daunting. The sixth grade boy who had a hard time moving to Bluffington was still in there trying to get everyone to like him...especially Patti.
He had wondered what it would be like to see her again and had many dreams about in his dorm room. Yes they had seen each other a few times since she moved away, but not like this. They were all grown up now. Doug's too large nose now seemed right on his face and his baby fat in his cheeks had gone away. And his wardrobe had greatly changed from his time of wearing only sweater-vests with shorts. No doubt Patti had changed as well. He couldn't wait to see her.
But as he waited for her, he realized he should have met her at her apartment. Even if he was all grown up now, he still had a lot to learn about wooing the ladies. Well, about wooing Patti. He paced inside his room, even this small old habit of his made him realize how much he missed Porkchop, because Porkchop would have paced alongside him. He was certainly glad Patti was there to help him get a new dog.
