“WHAT.” Sebastien said, taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes for good measure. The dogs were slowly rising over the dome. “YOU SEE THIS?” sebastien asked, and William nodded. “Let's go check the news.” William said, closing the blinds and running to the living room. Sebastien then followed William to the tv where the news was playing on their TV for some reason.
(the breaking news intro jingle) “BREAKING NEWS!! A DOG FLOOD HAS COMPLETELY COVERED FELIDA AND IS SPREADING OVER VANCOUVER! THE FLOOD IS SPREADING AT 20 MPH AND GROWING. THE DOGS SEEM TO BE MULTIPLYING AND TRANSFORMING ANY MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS EXCEPT PLANTS INTO DOGS. IS THIS THE END? ANYONE NEAR WASHINGTON, IMMEDIATELY START EVAC—-A—-A—-A—-A—-A—-A… the TV screen started glitching out and turned to the color glitch screen and made a soft humming noise over the loud static. “What happened?!?” William said, getting up and checking the router. “Lets go check outside.” Sebastien said. William nodded. The kids walked over to the door and opened it up to a pitch black area. The only illuminated spots were where light was shining through the windows and the door. “Woah.” Sebastien said. “I guess that's why we lost connection, the dogs-” (Sebastien snorted a soft laugh at the sight of a dog’s face squished against the barrier, tongue out and staring back at him) Sebastien took a deep breath. “The dogs are blocking the radio waves, and it appears we are trapped.” Stated William. “It's time to activate… Project frog.” “What? What's Project frog?” Sebastien asked. “It's something we’ve been working on.” William flicked the light switch four times, and a panel popped out of the wall. “HUUUUH????” Sebastien exclaimed. He pressed a few buttons and a giant stand popped out of the floor that had a giant frog shaped button under a clear plastic case. “Excuse me for interrupting your sciency shenanigans but, where did you receive funding for this?!” “We don't talk about that…” William said. He opened the case and hit the button, sending a signal through the wires into four giant thrusters under the house, which then started shaking. All of the sudden, the record room transformed into a control center filled with buttons, switches, screens and command chairs. “Hold up…” Sebastien said as he realized what was going on. “GET IN YOUR SEAT” William yelled, rushing to a command chair. He buckled himself in and moved the chair and hit a button. `INITIATING COUNTDOWN. BLASTING OFF IN 10, 9, 8… “HOLD ON!!!!” William yelled, as Sebastien buckled himself in and held onto his chair, his head sinking into his body. “YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER TESTED THIS, BUT HERE WE…. 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF-F-F-F!!!!!!! “UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH” the kids yelled, as the house started gaining altitude.
