“ It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing! “
The black and white dog sang joyfully. There was something, something rushing up and down his spine. It was good. No wait, it was great! It made him want to howl, it made him want to yowl! It made him want to snap, it made him want to clap! It was official, Vincent had gone wild. He had run into a bunch of humans listening to a snappy jazz song, and now it would be stuck in his head all day. He extended his muzzle to the sky and let out a long, deep howl.
“ Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop! “
The feeling spread all around him. The music jolted to his paws, making him hop, skip, and run! Deep inside, a fire was still burning in him. It started as a small blaze, but ended up spreading into a wild fire. He was powerful, he was almighty, he was Poltergeist! A tricky dog, any one could see. Deep inside, Vincent knew he still had some Burning Hell in him. But hey, screw the past! Vincent was all about the present.
Feel the wolf, feel the w-o-l-f!Vincent thought in his head, bolting from trash can to trash can at the speed of light. He jumped inside, letting various tin cans, ruffled papers, and stuff of that sort fall. He dug inside till he found a few slivers and scraps of food. What look! He found a nice, juicy rib! Vincent chewed on it contently before getting bored with it. He knocked a few more trashcans over before looking around to see if anyone was looking. Vincent grabbed a few more edibles before looking around to see where else he could cause havoc…erm, look for food.
“ I’ve got swing! “ Vincent sang, “ Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop! “

“ It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing! “
Delillah lifted her ears first, then she opened golden eyes and after that, she lifted her head too. Somebody was singing near the box where she slept over night.
With a confused expression Delillah slowly stood up, stretching her long red body. Her fur was still silky and clean, result of very last bathing few days ago. Delillah remembered that day very well. It was a night after her great race. She was third and masters weren't very pleased with that score. Delillah was never first and they were thinking about two things: kill her or make her to have babies of champions or just pure blooded babies for sell. She hated both of those human plans. So she escaped.
A howl woke her up. She shook her fur to get rid of dirt and dust. Someone probably had a nice day.
“ Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop! “
Delillah smiled. Not very far away she could see a black and white dog, making a mess around himself. He probably enyojed making a havoc.
“ I’ve got swing! Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop! “
Delillah have to laugh aloud. He looked so funny.

( Bah, shortness! XP )
While Vincent was singing and dancing to himself, he was left unaware that he had just awoken the female saluki nearby. That was, until he saw a pair of gold eyes flutter open. Vincent paused for a few seconds, just to make sure it wasn't a cat. No, it was red. Cats weren't red. He hadn't seen many dogs in his day with red fur, except for that one poodle a few years ago...
But this one couldn't be a poodle. No, her fur was too straight and shiny for a poodle, not to mention more pretty than most poodles he's met. Sleek, long...a racing dog. If she had ever run into a human, she most likely would've been a racing dog.
Vincent went in for a closer look. AHA! It was a saluki! Just like that Sita girl he'd heard about. Except he was pretty sure she wasn't bright red. Vincent smiled when he heard the saluki girl laugh.
" Hi thar, " Vincent greeted in a goofy voice, " The name's Vincent, or..." He paused for dramatic effect, " POLTERGEIST! "

Delillah frowned when she noticed that the singing dog saw her. She didn't actually know how to act around strangers.
" Hi thar, " he seemed nice and she had to smile again to his goofy voice. " The name's Vincent, or..." Delillah blinked when he paused like something big is going to happen. " POLTERGEIST! "
That was just too much. He said this in such a dramatic way that she bursted into laugh. The black and white one was really funny.
"Hello Vincent or Poltergeist," she answered, still giggling. "I'm Delillah. With no other names."
She made few careful steps toward him. "May I ask you, why were you singing?"
((short too...))

Vincent looked at the saluki curiously. She seemed sort of…well, confused. She smiled at him in an amused kind of way, and then suddenly burst out laughing. Whoot, females can be confusing sometimes, Vincent thought to himself. He seemed to be making good process, though.
"Hello Vincent or Poltergeist. I'm Delillah. With no other names." Vincent grinned at Dellilah in a sideways sort of way. Hmph, Dellilah was a pretty name.
" Nice to meet ya' Dellilah With No Other Names. That's a really long name, you know. Mind if I just call you Dellilah for short? " Vincent replied in a chirpy voice.
" Why do I sing? " Vincent began in a drmatic voice, " For the people....or dogs, cats, birds, whatever the hell you are. For heart, for soul, for all dem little poppers out there without a home! But mostly, I do it because I have FREEEEEEDDDDOOOOM! " He jumped up happilly and howled loudly.
" And would the lovely little lady in front of me like to sing a song to our audience....of boxes, cartons, and trash cans? " Vincent said in a low, clear, deep, and loud voice, as if he was a talk show host.

"Sure you can," she agreed. "Del or Lila is even shorter if you don't like long names."
Why do I sing? Again this dramatic voice that made Delillah smile. It seemed that he was prankster with his heart and soul. For the people....or dogs, cats, birds, whatever the hell you are. For heart, for soul, for all dem little poppers out there without a home! But mostly, I do it because I have FREEEEEEDDDDOOOOM!
Delillah almost jumped away from him with a look of surprise in her eyes when he jumped and gave a loud howl. She started to think if humans gave him something they shouldn't. Like some masters did when it was time for race. Dogs that usually weren't quick were then almost at the top.
And would the lovely little lady in front of me like to sing a song to our audience....of boxes, cartons, and trash cans?
"Oh no. No, no, no... I don't sing. I don't even know how to sing," she stepped away from him even more, like she was expecting that he's going to grab her for a neck and force her to sing. "I don't have a right voice and... Well, no. But you can sing. Instead of me..."

"Sure you can, Del or Lila is even shorter if you don't like long names."
“ I think I’ll call ya Lila, “ Vincent replied with a smile.
He looked at her curiously as she jumped away from him. Oh, another one not used to crazies. Okay, so what if he wasn’t crazy? So what? He surely was inching close enough to the edge of insanity.
"Oh no. No, no, no... I don't sing. I don't even know how to sing. I don't have a right voice and... Well, no. But you can sing. Instead of me... Then she stepped away, like she was afraid. His face changed from a goofy smile to a concerned frown.
" Please, please don't run away from me. It's been a while since someone has listened to me. Even my fellow fighting dogs back at the-" It took Vincent a second to realize what he was saying, " But nevermind that. Please, please stay. " If he cvould do it, Vincent was pretty sure he would be begging on his knees by now.

((extra short... so sorry T_T))

Delillah looked at him with a terror in her eyes. Even if he didn't finish the sentence, she knew about what he was talking. But he didn't look like... one of those dogs. He even wasn't cruel or depressed. She couldn't believe that.
But nevermind that. Please, please stay.
"I don't have an intention to leave you," she said to him. Delillah wagged her tail a bit, showing that everything was all right.

"I don't have an intention to leave you."
" Oh. Yeah. Good. I knew that, " Vincent said, " Totally....knew that. "
Vincent looked embarrased, looking down at his paws. " Right...you wanted me to sing earlier, didn't you? Well, this is another song I've heard of earlier. " He smiled again, a less humorous smile, but it could make you smile yourself.
" So much to believe in - We were lost in time Everything I needed I feel into your eyes Always thought of keepin - Your heart next to mine But now that seems so far away Don't know how love could leave without a trace Where do silent hearts go? " He dramatically paused, before batting his eyelashes like a lovesick girl.
" Where does my heart beat now Where is the sound That only echoes through the night Where does my heart beat now I can't live without Without feeling it inside Where do all the lonely hearts go? " He then pretended to sigh romantically like a lovestruct girl.
" Candle in the water - Drifting helplessly Hiding from the thunder - Come and rescue me Driven by hunger - Of the endless dream I'm searching for the hand that I can hold I'm reaching for the arms that let me know Where do silent hearts go? " He gripped his chest with his paws, then dramatically pretended to faint.

Delillah burst into laugh again at his lovestruck girl interpretation. How could be ever a fighting dog? If she didn't find that out, she would say that he's an actor or a circus dog. "Bravo!" she gave him an applause ((let's pretend she can do that )) and a smile. "You should be a singer or an actor, you know that?" When she stopped laughing, Delillah looked Vincent in his eyes. "Before you seemed much happier? Is it about those fighting dogs you mentioned?"

"Bravo! You should be a singer or an actor, you know that?"
" Ha, thank you! " Vincent said, leaning forward to take a bow. These are the times, oh yes, these are the times, He thought happily to himself.
"Before you seemed much happier? Is it about those fighting dogs you mentioned?" Lila continued on, looking Vincent in the eyes. Vincent frowned and looked at his paws in grief.
" Lila, you seem like a trustworthy dog. I beg you never to say a word of what I'm going to tell you, " Vincent said, " Please? "

Delillah blinked with surprise at his sudden mood change. Something terrible must had happened to him. She lowered her head for a little, stepping closer like he's going to tell her a top secret news.
"I promise I won't tell what you're going to tell me. Even if someone pulls out my fangs I won't tell." Then she think for a moment. "It is really so horrible?"
He looks so sad, she tought.

"During a fighting dog's life time, a lot of things happened. Obviously, I was way different back then.Vincent's not my real name, it's Burning Hell. I was one of the best fighting dogs in the league. I killed five dogs. Even worse, I enjoyed it.
Then, something horrible happened. The humans made me breed with this...horendous femme. My pups are still in that fighting league. I finally decided to escape weeks later, and obviously, suceeded in doing so. From then on, I've learned that freedom's the only thing I have to hold on to. Everything else seems to run away or spit on me. "
Vincent sighed. " I just needed to get that off my back. If you want to leave now, I understand. "

Delillah was shocked. His past was really terrible. And sad. Her life couldn't compare with that. But the most horrible thing to her was that humans forced hi to breed with someone he doesen't love. How could they?!
" I just needed to get that off my back. If you want to leave now, I understand. "
"Why would I want to leave? You're not going to kill me, right?" she gave him a little smile that faded away as quickly as she realized of the wrong chosen words. "Um, sorry, I didn't meant to...say that," Delillah quietly corrected herself. "But you are very brave, you know? To be happy despite your past. I couldn't be. Well, my life wasn't even half as bad as yours."

"Why would I want to leave? You're not going to kill me, right?Um, sorry, I didn't meant to...say that. But you are very brave, you know? To be happy despite your past. I couldn't be. Well, my life wasn't even half as bad as yours."
" Nah, it's okay, " Vincent said with a good natured smile, " What were you in your past life anyway? A show dog? A racing dog? " Whatever you are, you are the prettiest dog I've had the pleasure of knowing, aye caramba! Vincent accidently thought out loud.
Vincent froze in place, feeling his skin get hotter. " I mean...I don't....uuuuuuh. I-I didn't mean to say that out loud, " He said, stammering in embarasment.
