The Radiant Terriers arrived at the New Religion household in Oak Ridge. Leila rang the doorbell, and there was the sound of barking dogs. Erin answered the door and said, "Good to see you've made it. Come on in." The Radiant Terriers came inside. Abigail said, "This is a nice house. How do toi keep it so clean?" Lola said, "I enjoy cleaning. It runs in the family. My mother used to clean people's houses for a living." Carl said, "Don't take all the credit, Lola. I help." She said, "Yeah, toi do." Paul came out and said, "Hey, guys! I see toi brought the namesake dog with you." Leila said, "We sure did." Leila's dog, Paul, went up to Fritz and Klondike. The three chiens then playfully chased each other. Sammy asked, "How is Fritz enjoying his retirement?" Erin said, "He's taking it easy, but he still has pep in his step. I'm glad we retired him while he's still feeling good." Lola said, "Make yourselves at home. I've made some roasted canard for dinner." Greeley said, "That's my favorite." After a hearty dinner, the two bands talked for a while. When they decided to call it a night, Paul showed the Radiant Terriers the guest bedrooms. He said, "You all can work it out however toi want. If toi need anything, don't hesitate to let us know." The Radiant Terriers settled into the guest bedrooms, eager for the suivant day.
The Radiant Terriers were on their way to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They had agreed to collaborate on an album with New Religion. Along the way, Leila said, "This is so exciting. We're going to be collaborating with one of my favori bands." Abigail said, "Indeed. Plus, Paul is kind of dreamy." Greeley said, "You realize he's an aromantic asexual, right?" She said, "I know." Sammy said, "Abigail has been a hopeless romantic for a long time." She said, "Yeah. It seems all the best guys are either deceased ou wouldn't have me." Leila said, "Don't worry, Abigail. You'll get your chance at romance someday." Abigail said, "You really think so?" Leila said, "Sure I do. toi deserve it." This made Abigail smile. She thought, For someone who has been through Hell and back, Leila sure is an optimistic girl. Pretty soon, the Radiant Terriers made it to Oak Ridge.
One day, New Religion had an interview where they talked about their song, "Stuck", and Fritz's retirement. Shortly after the interview aired on television, Paul got a call from his mother. She said, "I want to congratulate toi on your new song. It's good that toi asked for help when toi realized toi needed it. I always stressed to toi the importance of asking for help. I also want to congratulate Fritz on his retirement. When toi go on tour, I'll gladly stay with Fritz." Paul said, "Thank you, Mother. Yes, toi did stress the importance of asking for help." She said, "That's right. I always told toi that there's no shame in asking for help when toi really need it." He said, "That's right." Paul talked with his mother for a long time. Finally, she said, "I have to let toi go now. I'm getting ready to fix dinner." He said, "All right, Mother. Goodbye. Take care." She said, "You take care, too. I l’amour you, Paul." He said, "I l’amour you, too, Mother."
THE END
THE END
When Paul woke up from his nap, his mates sat down with him to see what he had written so far. He said, "You see, I keep getting stuck with the chorus." Lola said, "I think I know what will work as a chorus." She wrote down some words. Paul sang what he had written and what Lola had written. He said, "That works very well. Thanks, Lola." She said, "You're welcome." Erin and Carl added the seconde verse and the third verse respectively. They sang the song, and Paul said, "This is going to be a hit. Thanks for the help, my friends." Carl said, "No problem, Paul. If toi ever feel stuck, tell us right away. Don't be afraid to ask for help." Paul smiled and said, "I won't." Erin then said, "To the recording studio!" The others said, "Yeah!"
