Hi my name is Max a teenage german sheperd.

My lif was pretty damned normal until I joined the army.. I had a girlfriend... An apartement.. And my favorite a black sports cycle....

It all started when I got into a fight at the bar(not so unusual) with a bunch of war recruits... At one point someone hit me with a chair and I blacked out...

When I woke up some guy in a uniform shoved an assault rifle into my arms. Nows whoeveres smart idea it was to give a half drunk fur a loaded gun was a real dumbass. luckilly someone had put the weapon on safe and all I did was fall over and black out again...

About 5 hours later(or so I was told) I woke up in an old,large and very unsafe looking millitary boat... I stared around drunkilly for about five minutes before I realised what was going on.. I yelled out Fuck!! and a few furs turned to stare at me....

The nearest one a large Husky said "so your finally awake?"

I turned and stuttered "no theres got to be a mistake!?!"

I..I didn't sign up... for this!!!

"Neither did I now calm down the worst hasn't even begun yet"...

In my mind I was still freaking out but I sat down anyway...

Whats your name? Said the large Husky.

Uuuhh..Max. It struck Max a little odd that this fur was being so nice to him even though soon they were all probably going to die...

"So why are you here?" Said the Husky..

I should be at fuckin home is where I should be!!! Yelled Max... He curled up into a ball and started to whimper... Max suddenly felt a hand on his back.He turned and realised the Husky was staring at him...

Look we are not going to die if we try to stay alive..Okay? Max felt a strange feeling come over him as he stared into the Huskys eyes...Max sat up and said I hope so...

"By the way my names Alex" said the Husky..

And I didn't choose to be here either...

About an hour later after talking to Alex. Max felt slightly better... Alex had to leave his family's his farm because he was just barely old enough to join the army...

When Max told Alex about how he had got into this Alex laughed. Max simply smiled sheepishly...After telling telling Alex about his life Max felt safer for some reason. He couldn't put his finger on it but he did so whatever he thought to himself.

Suddenly an alarm started blaring and everyone started to duck under the tables. Max got under one of the tables knowing something bad was about to happen.. there was a strange popping noise from somewhere far away and suddenly the entire boat jerked to the side.. somewhere else on board people were yelling.. then a weird clicking noise sounded from on the top deck. Again and again and again. then the boat hit something solid and the boat stopped moving instantly every fur in the room sprang to there feet the large door in front of them groaned open and they rushed out into the cold, freezing air. the furs in front where met with a hail of machine gun fire. the ones in the back scattered.. Myself included.. We took cover behind an old half destroyed wall..

A fur with a radio was yelling as soldiers grouped around him.. He said "we must move to the trenches now!!!"

Furs started running out from behind the wall into the hail of lead only some making it to the pre-made trenches. As I threw myself into one of the trenches I heard a familliar voice... Good to see that you made it through..Max turned to see Alex sitting in the corner of the trench smileing.

"What are you so happy about?" I said.

Just glad to see a friendly face among the lead.

Thats all.

Max got that strange feeling again as Alex looked him over... Not a scratch on you thats good...

Your very lucky compared to that poor soul.. He pointed to a fur missing his legs that was crying out "why the Hell did I join!?!" I nearly threw up at the sight of him..

"Like I said your very lucky".. He said as a strange look came over his face.then he shook his head as if remembering where he was.

He said "well wer'e safe for now"...

I thought to myself. I seriously hope he's right as the pops of mortars and the rattling of the machine guns continued....

About five days later we were doing about the same as before taking potshots at anyone stupid enough to poke there head out of the machine gun nest.

After wasteing my tenth clip I gave up and slouched down beside Alex.

"Gave up huh?" Said the large husky in a bored tone.

"Yeah this is pretty fuckin pointless".

"Who's idea was it to come here anyway?"

Who knows but whoever it was deserves a good kick to the ass. He said.

Suddenly a very slim greyhound ran over. Whats up Runt?(thats what everyone called the greyhound).

Guys I may have found a way to kill all those bastards shooting at us. Both Alex and I jumped up at the same time.

You have? I yelled.

"Yep just need some explosives" Runt said. For once in my life I was glad I was wearing millitary uniform . We both started digging through our bags. I pulled out a strange stick like object with a string attached. Will this work?

Yeah how many do you have?

Umm... I rummaged through thr bag.

Six! Is that enough!?!

Yeah! He took the explosives and ran off.

Five minutes later a muffled boom shook the ground. Everyone started yelling and shooting there guns into the air. I turned around to look at Alex and was surprised when someone threw there arms around me and kissed me. I fell into that strange dreamlike state again and only realised what was happening when a strange sensation went through my sheath. I backed away and fell over with a stunned expression on my face. I looked up and saw that Alex had about the same look on his face. I turned around and let out a sigh of relief when I saw no one had been watching. I didn't know what to say so I started yelling with the crowd. In my head though I was still thinking about what happened...

Runt was a hero that night. there was a huge party and someone had laid there hands on some booze so quite a few of the men were drunk. I had not had a single drink. At about one in the morning it quieted down a bit. I was still thinking about what happened when Alex walked over." I'm sorry about earlier" was all he said. After that we started talking again but we avoided the subject about what had happened.

Finally we went off to our bunks. As we undressed for bed I found myself staring at Alex. he had just taken off his pants and I could see a bulge in his underwear that was his sheath. I looked away quickly but not quickly enough. We stared at each other before Alex finally said goodnight and got in his bed. I tried to stop thinking about what I had just seen but for some reason I couldn't. I decided to go outside and get some fresh air. As I stepped out of the makeshift bunker I realised I wasn't alone. I turned and saw Alex in the doorway. He said" I truelly am sorry". I suddenly realised I loved alex and I said" don't be". Suddenly he was on top of me kissing me again and we stayed in that exact spot well into the night...

Just as dawn broke we wen't back to our beds and fell asleep...

Hours later we awoke at the sound of the sargents voice. All right you lot today we take the town!!!!
