Big Bully

by Promise200

Two very different Poogles were walking down to the bus stop together. Pugsley the husky, bossy Poogle didn't take much notice of the others, except taking their lunch money. Pugs the shy Poogle was so scared to even step foot on the big yellow bus. In spite of her fear she went on it anyway. One step at a time. She knew nothing about anyone. So she sat next to Pugsley. He gave her a little punch on the shoulder and told her to bring money to him every afternoon at 1:15. She was too scared to say anything so she nodded.

On her first day of school she met three friends: Gypsy, Lilly, and Murry. When she got back on the bus she sat down with Pugsley again.

He gave her a look and said, "Don't Forget Geek" She got scared at that moment and stood up and yelled in a little voice, "I'm not a geek, I'm a Poogle and I'm not giving you my money!!!"

As Pugs sat back down she realised that she stood up to everyone. Pugsley barked an order to her, "Sit down and be quiet!"

She asked the bus driver to drop her off now and he did. It wasn't her stop but that was the least of her worries.

When she got home her owner, Brittany, asked her about her day. She just started crying and ran to her room. So Brittany climbed up the stairs to Pugs' room and asked her why she was crying.

She replied, "A bully asked me for my money and I agreed to it then I finally stood up to him and told him no and he got really mad and now... now--"

"Now what, Dear?" Brittany asked.

"Now... now I feel horrible," Brittany said, "Well that isn't the real way to solve a problem, what should you have done?"

Pugs replied, "I should have said No but not the way I did. I could have told him that I didn't want to give away my money because it was for lunch."

"Yes, so tomorrow please do that," said Brittany. Pugs nodded her head and stared on her homework.

The next day Pugs got on the bus with no fear at all. She sat next to Pugsley. Before she could say anything he said, "I bet you can't beat me at a fight!"

She said, "No, I probably can't beat you at a fight or save my lunch money, but I can kindly ask you to stop. Please don't pick on me. I need this lunch money for school, okay?"

Pugsley was speechless that someone didn't back down from him so he had to use his head and hands to express his answer. It was clear he said yes.

Pugs was so happy that day. She did the right thing. When she went home to her mom she gave her an ice cream treat for doing the right thing.
