Blackout always had seen Whiteout as his own interactive guide. She always calmed him down when he thought to much about the world outside the dark and light pen. Whiteout saw him as a depressed lump of sadness. "Whiteout?" He called. "Whiteout where are you?" He called out again. "I'm right here, you empty cocoon!" She whispered tauntingly, phasing out of a white wall. Every time i try to look and call out for her she calls me that. He thought for the 51st time. Every time Whiteout called him that, he felt unworthy of her love. She didn't know he'd always fall for her. "Don't- don't call me that please." He said, uneasily. Her ears perked up as if there had just been an "i'm not lying" face stuck on his snout. He shifted uncomfortably in the grass, folded his wings and closed his eyes laying on the ground. Whiteout curled up next to him and fell asleep soon after.

"No!" He shouted. "Oh yes, i certainly will." Said a strange voice. "I will kill you and your little friend." The voice said again. Blackout woke up from a nightmare. He breathed heavily and calmed down. It was the middle of the night, and Whiteout was still asleep. He sighed with relief. "Phew." He whispered to himself. "Just a nightmare." He whispered again. He curled up again and fell asleep. When he woke up again, he saw Whiteout was bringing him a dog biscuit. "Here you go, silly." She said with grace. He got up and ate the biscuit gently. Blackout liked being gentle. He just wanted to be peaceful so no one could interrupt his life choices. "Hrrrruh!" he said muffled by the food he was eating. "I can tell its your favorite by now." She said, giggling. "Mmmpffff!" He shouted agreeingly. Whiteout liked when he did this, she thought it was hilarious when he did this. He smiled and swallowed his food. Whiteout walked over to a red wall and bumped into something.

"Ahh!" Whiteout screamed helplessly. "He he he he he..." Laughed the strange voice from Blackout`s nightmare. "Wonderful... Something to kill." He laughed again. Blackout got up and had a hopeless look on his face. "Oh look, its the puppy from my dream visit!" He laughed gracefully. "Whiteout!" He shouted with despair. The monster took out his claw and put it against Whiteout`s throat. Blackout HATED fighting. He pounced onto the core sniveling beast and ripped out a spine from his back. The beast laughed. "That didn't even hurt!" He snickered. Blackout`s claws extended and his wings grew, his teeth grew sharp and his tail doubled it's size. Whiteout looked confused by this. Blackout sliced through the skin of the core beast and stabbed his tail through his mouth. The core beast spat out what seemed to be core liquid. "You may have won this time, but i will come back..." Core growled. The core beast`s body parts popped off of him and his eyes turned into crosses. The corpse soon decomposed and the core was left behind. Blackout put it somewhere safe where no one could get to it. He turned back and collapsed, passing out. Whiteout passed out too, because she had gotten too confused for her own good.

When he woke back up, there was only blood, core liquid, and puke. Blackout went to see if the core was still in it`s hiding place. IT WASN'T... He went to check on Whiteout (Which had woken up WAY before him) to see if she was okay. But she didn't seem like it... She had been seizing herself with her claws and banging her head on the wall. She puked and puked and puked. Core liquid was the only puke now... Blackout searched and searched for the cure and couldn't find it. *BANG BANG BANG BANG!* Is all he heard... Blood and core liquid everywhere on the walls. Whiteout fell onto her side hopelessly and tried to break her neck. She tried ripping off the front of the big fan that cooled them down on hot days and stick her head into it, but Blackout pulled her back. "AUGHHHHH!" Whiteout shouted distortedly. "What happened?!" Blackout shouted to her. "I- AUGHHHH! I ATE- GRRR! A- RAHHHH! C-CORE- GRAUGHHHH!" She shouted in pain. She kept on screaming and howling until she passed out. Luckily, their pen was right next to the emergency pen and the medical dogs came to check out what was happening. They saw all the blood and core liquid and looked at Blackout. Blackout pointed to Whiteout and a tear rolled down both Whiteout and Blackout`s snouts. They eventually took them both to the emergency pen and got Whiteout on a bed to have a comfortable sleep.

Whiteout grumbled and growled. "YOU GOTTA HELP HER!" Blackout yelled. The med dog seemed to be half-mute. The med dog looked at him and tried to push out a small and quiet sentence as if she were saying "I will." Blackout seemed as if he were trying to start a kindergarten fight with a gopher. I will stay here by your side as long as I can, and by as long as i can, I mean I will protect you from dangers like these. Blackout thought to Whiteout. Usually, Blackout was calm and mellow, but he had never seen outside of that pen they were trapped in. He felt amazing! He stared at things while they were going by. They had been stuck in there since they had hatched. Finally, they got to the medical center. Whiteout seemed to be calmer now. Blackout felt exhausted, so he drifted to sleep in a bed and fell asleep soon.

Blackout blinks open his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming. Whiteout was in front of him, poking him. "Wake up, dreamy face!" She blurted. "Whiteout I thought-" He said, Whiteout cutting him off with "Oh, don't be silly!" "Whiteout you were in the wobble medical-" "I know I was, that doesn't mean i can't be silly!" She blurted again. Blackout stayed quiet for a few seconds before saying "You swallowed the core diseased core!" "I know silly!" She chuckled. "Dude, I was so worried! Why did you eat it?!" He blurted in anger. "I thought it was candy!" She stated. "You thought it was candy?" He said. Whiteout paused. "Maybe...?" She admitted. Blackout burst out laughing. He wrapped a wing around her. Whiteout pushed him away jokingly. "Silly face!" Whiteout joked. "Is the core still in tact?" He asked. "Yes, i swallowed it whole. I just puked it up." She said. "Good" He said, relieved. Whiteout gave him the core and he put it in a box.

It was quiet for a while. Whiteout suddenly started a conversation with Blackout. "How long do you think until we can be released?" Her eyes shining. "I'm not sure, perhaps when we are adults." He replied. "But what if something happens to us and we die?" She asked. "Don't worry about that, I will protect you to the very end." He answered. They both looked into each other's shining eyes. Whiteout looked away, then at the box that the core was in. "I think we should bury it.'' She said. "I think so, too'' He agreed. They scratched at the ground and created a hole and dropped it in. As the hole was being filled in, Blackout stretched out his fore arms and pushed the rest of the dirt in. "There." He said. "I hope the ground ivy grows over it." She added. "Me too." He replied.

Blackout grabbed a few ground ivy seed and planted them. Whiteout was eating a pancake while trying to dig up a toy. Blackout looked behind his back and saw she had dug up a rubber bone. She started playing with it."Rrrrrrrr" She growled while tossing the bone around.
