CHAPTER 6

“Oh, no,” JoJo said, taking in the scene. “I think I know what happened.” She pointed at an abandoned stand with stacks of baked goods on top and a sign that read, Louis’s Bake Sale. It had recently been dragged from out front, at least according to the telltale divots in the backyard. There were no customers in sight. JoJo had a sinking suspicion that she was partly to blame for that.

Then they heard the distinct sound of a dog barking. “Look!” shouted Megan. Peppa was in the back window, barking at JoJo and Megan! She appeared to be standing on a sofa, her front paws on the windowsill.

“Shhh,” they heard. “Peppa, quiet!” Then Louis’s face appeared beside Peppa’s, looking out the window. His eyes widened when he saw them, and he ducked back out of sight.

“Louis! We see you!” JoJo wasted no time. She walked right over to the sliding back door and knocked hard until Peppa started barking again. “Louis! Let us in,” JoJo said. “We’re not mad.” By then, Jacob and Miley had joined them in the backyard.

The door slid open just a crack. “You aren’t?” Louis asked.

“We certainly are,” said Jacob. “You ruined our fund-raiser and almost ruined the pet store’s reputation!”

“And I’m also mad because you call me names at school!” Miley added.

“Shhh,” JoJo said to Jacob and Miley. “I think I might know what happened here. Louis, can we come in and talk? We’ll have to go get our parents if you don’t hand Peppa over. It’s probably better if you just talk to us.”

A few seconds passed, and then the door slid the rest of the way open. Louis stood in front of them, looking miserable.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “This whole thing was a dumb idea.”

“We’ll talk in a second,” JoJo said. “First, I want to make sure Peppa is okay.” She walked past Jacob into a large rec room. Peppa was most certainly okay! She was curled up on a sofa atop a mound of blankets, wagging her tail. There was a nature show on TV, and the soothing sound of tropical birds filled the room. A big bowl of water sat on the floor next to the couch, and a plate covered in telltale rainbow crumbs was next to it. Peppa looked very happy!

“You’ve taken such good care of Peppa,” Jacob said to Louis.

“Of course!” Louis said, sticking his hands into his pockets. “Winslow and I love other dogs! I dog sit all the time. Dogs are the best!”

“So why did you leave Winslow behind?” JoJo asked. “I thought you said you had to keep an eye on her.”

“Oh, Winslow goes to doggie day care all the time,” Louis said. “And she loves playing with other dogs. It’s a treat for her. Plus, your mom was there. You mom is still there, right?”

“Yes. Watching all the dogs with Mandi and Mandi’s niece, Lila,” JoJo assured him. “So why did you say you had to stay and watch Winslow?”

“Just so you wouldn’t think it was weird if I was around,” Louis said.
