   I suddenly forgot that the fact if I actually packed up or not, though sometimes I have a good memory, but it wasn't good sometimes. Finally, I managed to think hard, and remember that I packed before Alan and I had that little argument.
"Errr, yes I did!" I said, clasping my hands together and giving her an expression that she thought that was weird. She raised one eyebrow, then turned towards the stairs to pack up. "Well, get your stuff down here, while I go and pack up." She said, as she walked upstairs.
"Okay. But first, how was work today, Mom?"
"Ugh, boring and weird as usual. Nothing absolutely surprising happened over there, how about you? What did you do while I was gone?" She shouted from upstairs as I turned off the tv and checked in the backyard to see if Alan was still hiding. Surely he was, because I finally spotted the tip of his tail visible in front of the trees and bushes. I chuckled.
"Oh, it was kind of...surprising I guess." Making a weird expression as if I saw a roach. I knocked on the glass door to get Alan's attention, suddenly a big dragon head emerged a little out of the bushes and trees, staring at me then moving his eyes left to right to check for anyone watching him.
Although I wasn't good at making signals and signs with my hands, it looked as if Alan finally understood as I told him to stay behind the trees a little longer until I say so.
"Really? Speaking of surprising, Balto didn't jump on me as I came in like he always does whenever I come over. Where is he anyway?" My mother asked as she walked here and there upstairs, making loud footsteps as if there was a T-Rex in the house.
"Oh no, Balto!" I said in a whisper, finally remembering about my lovable dog. I haven't seen him since yesterday when we heard those gun shots and when Balto went bizzare when he saw Alan in the sky. Poor Balto, he was so frightened, I just hope he was okay right now. Maybe he's in his dog house all cuddled in a ball asleep right now, or maybe hiding somewhere in the house.
"Umm, well I haven't seen him since yesterday. But, I'll look for him right now if you want!" Remaining still to get ready for my mother's big argument to start about "Didn't I tell you he's your responsibility?!" or "If he ran away, he ran away!".
"What do you mean you haven't seen him!? Didn't I tell you specifically to take care of that dog?!" She said, as she peeked her head out behind the side of the wall upstairs staring at me with her angry look.
"I know you did, it's just that he heard some weird sounds in the forest and he just ran off leaving me in the backyard! It's not my fault that God made them freak out when they hear weird sounds or something."
"Don't play smart with me, now go and try to find him quickly. Call me when you find him, alright?"
I sighed, releaved that she settled her temper down, but still ticked off with her nagging. Although my mother is a lovable and caring mother, she still can be such a nagger when it comes to situations like this.
"Fine." As my mother went back to packing her stuff, I headed towards the back door. Not knowing that it was still closed, I slammed my face on the glass door, and fell backwards down on the floor as the pain shot into me.
"OUCH!" I began to hear loud laughter from upstairs. My mom stayed up there laughing, not even coming downstairs to help me up or something. "Nice one, sweetie!" She said, still laughing and then finally stopped. I put my hand on my face and shook my head as I shouted back at her. "Haha, thank you for nothing, you useless mexican."
"Half! Now go find Balto!" She yelled out, then closed the door from her room. I managed to get up from my fall, opened the door and ran outside towards Alan's hiding place. Surely, I found him as he tried not to laugh from the little episode I had with the glass door. As far as everyone knows, glass doors are my worst enemy than how dogs and cats have on them.
"You didn't see anything!" Kicking his tail, then went back out of the bushes and tried to find Balto. I checked inside Balto's dog house, but no sign of him. "Ya know, I've heard dogs and cats doing that, but never a human." Alan was no help at all, he began to laugh at the thought of it, then stopped and then laughed again, and then finally stopped as he began to wipe the tears off of his eyes.
I stuck out my tongue at him, and went back on searching for my dog.
"I don't mean to bother your little episode, but what exactly are you doing?" Alan asked, cocking his head to the side as he stared at me while I looked on each side of the house.
"If you must know, I'm looking for my dog, Balto. He ran off when he saw you in the sky yesterday, and now I can't seem to find him anywhere! By any chance, have you seen him?" I asked him, as I titled my head to the side to look under the pile of boxes we stored for moving day after the summer.
"I told you, I threw him in the pond. You don't seem to have a good memory, do you?"
I turned to him and stared at him in a very awkward look. "Don't ask." I sighed in frustration, and headed towards the forest to look for him where I saw Alan. "I'm gonna check, if you see him coming over here, roar or something, okay?" Not even getting a response from Alan, I turned and faced at the fearsome dragon...and my dog. They both stared at each other, as their bodies settled for attack. Alan looked so fearsome as his muscles from his back began to move in an awkward movement like how lions do when they get ready to sprang towards their prey. His black pupals as thin as a cat's eyes, his nostrals flared, and his teeth showing as he growled at Balto. Balto looked like how Alan was, only his fur was sticking out like a cat, and he began to bark at Alan.
That's when I knew, that this was not going to be easy for me when I make them get along. There was going to be a fight between my dog and my Dragon.
