A/N: Yes, I just watched this movie for the first time. Yes, I'm a complete failure and I hate myself for not watching it sooner. Yes, I wrote a fanfic for it to try and make up for my mistakes. Also yes most of it's in Lady POV.

"Oh dear!" I exclaim as I notice that instead of being in my bed, ready to start the day and be with my family, I am in the middle of the park, sleeping soundly next to the wild dog who saved my life.

I...I'm so selfish! I need to go protect the baby!

"Is something wrong, Pidge?" the handsome (...wait, forget I said that.) gray-furred mongrel asks from my side.

"It's morning." I murmur.

I shouldn't have let him take me this far out...

"Yeah, so it is." He says, stretching his body.

"I should have been home hours ago..." I proceed, beginning to walk down the hill.

"Why?" He questions, actually seeming confused, before rushing to catch up. "Because you still believe in that old 'ever-faithful old dog tray' routine? Aw, come on, Pidge! Open up your eyes!"

Now it's my turn to be confused. "Open my eyes?"

"To what a dog's life can really be! I'll show you what I mean." He grins, moving towards the cliffside, myself following closely behind. "Look down there. Tell me what you see."

Still unsure of where he's going with this, I oblige. "Well... I see nice homes, with yards and fences..."

"Exactly." He says. "Life on a leash. Look again, Pidge. Look, there's a great big hunk of world down there, with no fence around it!"

I look out in awe. How could I have not known such a place existed?

"Where two dogs can find adventure and excitement." He continues. "And beyond those distant hills, who knows what wonderful experiences?"

I...I really want to go with him...but...

I can't.

"And it's all ours for the taking, Pidge. It's all ours." It's strange. He doesn't look like it, but it's almost like he's begging.

"It sounds wonderful." I tell him truthfully.

But...

"But?" He sighs, resigned.

"But who'd watch over the baby?"

He begins to shake his head wistfully and say something but stops himself. "The baby!?" He chuckles instead. "You understand what parents are, right, Pidge?"

"Yes..."

"Look, Pidge," He says moving back towards me. "Your humans, the ones who got the baby, they do a lot of things. Some strange, some fun. They see us dogs as companions and responsibilities. But now, those two have a new responsibility. The baby, which will probably cause far more trouble for them than you ever did. I said this before, Pidge: 'Baby moves in, dog moves out'."

I turn away and try to tune him out. I'll have to if I want to get back home and to my family. I don't have a clue where I am, so I need him to bring me back.

"Judging by how I met up with you yesterday, you should know! The muzzle, they put it on you to keep the baby 'safe'."

"But that wasn't Jim Dear and Darling!" I interrupt. "It was Aunt Sally!"

"Oh, right, but tell me, how long do you think it'll take for them to start acting the same way? You slip up once, they'll kick you out into that yard for hours at a time."

Unable to think of a response, I look down at the ground. I can't let him change my mind.

But I can already feel my resolve slipping away.

"Pidge, they don't deserve you. You're so sweet, and smart, and funny. But those humans, they'll just take it all for granted. They're parents now, Pigeon. Their first priority is their child."

I'm not sure what I want to do anymore. Not at all. I know I should stay, but...

"That's why I want you to leave them, Pidge. I know it makes me sound like a bad dog when I say it like that, but...I don't want to watch you get thrown in the dust like that. So please...come with me."

Feeling the last of my indecision fade away, I make my choice.

"Okay."

A/N: Yay AUs for everybody. Hope anyone who reads this enjoys it. I'll release more in the future either way.
