Silver lock the door his house and start take a warming up outside the house. Suddenly, Silver ear twitch when he heard a familiar old sheep voice coming from left side. It was Silver and Blaze's neighbor that great him outside, Mr Burton. He is 63 years old sheep that leaving alone on his house after her wife, Mrs. Daisy pass away 3 years ago. He has 6 children and half of them already marry, but all of them are busy to look after him. However he doesn't care at all, and he seem always happy and friendly when talk to Silver and Blaze.
Mr Burton:
(Happy voice)
Well, well, good morning, Silver! You look like you're ready to take on the day. How's everything going with you and Blaze? The house seems quiet without all the sirens around here.
Silver:
(Happy face, wave to Mr Burton)
Oh, Good Morning Mr Burton. Blaze and I are doing very fine.
(Silver felt guilt that they didn't have time to spend with their neighbor with all police work)
I'm sorry if we get busy and didn't have time to talk to you Mr. Burton.
Mr. Burton:
(Chuckles, shake his head)
It fined, Silver. I'm always happy to see you everyday with Blaze leaving to work.
(Notice that Silver was in jog suit)
Beautiful day for a jog, isn't it? I might just sit outside for a bit, enjoy the peace and quiet.
Silver:
(Talk while doing warming up)
Might as well sir, since today is our day-off. Why not take a cool breath around this area, right?

They both felt that they didn't give enough to pay Mr. Burton back for his appreciation, but Mr. Burton didn't want to accept any award or money. He only want to see his neighbor always happy especially Silver and Blaze since they both police.
Mr. Burton then settles into a chair, watching Silver with an approving look as he continues warming up.
Mr. Burton:
(Shouting)
Don't overdo it, though, Silver. Take it easy—you're not in a race, just a nice morning stretch.

Blaze:
(Dead face with that question)
Good on something? I'm good at plenty Silver.
(She sets the plate down, raising an eyebrow at him)
But if you want to test my limits, I will do it.
Silver:
(Silver don't want to push with his joke)
I'm just kidding.
(Approach Blaze and kiss her forehead)
You good with what you expected. Let's eat then.
Blaze:
(Smiles softly, leaning into the kiss)
Alright, alright, no more teasing.
(She sits down with him at the table, her tone warm)
Let's eat, I'm starving.
Silver and Blaze then sit at the dinning table and start eat their late breakfast. They both share their story with happy and cheerful. It's really long time since they can spend their time each other without their police work that always interfering. No wonder why Mr. Burton say they rarely saw them each other because of lack of time spending. But today is their day off, so it was good day to spend on.

After 20 minutes of spending each other conversations. Blaze grab the dish and wash it while Silver still in his seat scroll some of the news on his phone to see what they actually miss during their day off.
The news provided that today forecast is cloudy followed by probably slightly rain at the night with temperature of 49°F (10°C) in Paleto Bay area. Meanwhile, they is some articles about a heat between the gang hood in South Los Santos which is Ballas and Grove Street Gang about shooting and drug dealer. They also some unrelaven news about paranormal activity inside Sandy Shores about sight of ghost or something but Silver not interested about it.
Silver:
(Put down his phone and look at Blaze that still wash the dishes)
Hmmm, they is a news today about the heat between two members in South Los Santos. Do you know about this?
Blaze:
(Her ear twitch as Silver speak to her)
Heat between two gang members? Sigh. .
(Tired of the same incident thing, with defeat voices)
What they do know?
Silver:
(Tap his paw on dinner table)
Well, they say it was shooting and drug dealer, same thing as before. Do Knuckles know about this, you know since it was his jurisdiction?
Blaze:
(Finished wash the dishes and grab the towel)
Ehhh, Knuckles will know about this. I don't see any police report about gang members yet. And no one pass anything and ask me to check about this. So it was not my responsibility to take care of that thing yet.
Silver:
(Nodded)
Understandable, well, on the bright side, the weather this day is start to getting cold right, Blaze?
(As he hug himself with cold)
Blaze:
(Smiling, put down the towel and noticed Silver reaction)
Yeah, it's definitely getting chilly. Perfect weather for a cozy day inside. Maybe we should get some hot cocoa later?
Silver:
(Thinking)
Well I can make you a hot cocoa. How about you relax little bit, you go to the TV, and pick a movie you like, and I start make a hot cocoa. Sounds good?
Blaze:
(Smiling, her tail wag)
That sounds perfect. I'll pick something we can both enjoy. Thanks, Silver.
She walks to the TV and starts browsing for a movie. Silver then get up from his seat and head towards the cabinet. He grab the cocoa powder with both cup and seat it on the counter. Silver also make it special and bring small marshmallow with roll candy biscuits from the fridge. With skill and patient he has to make a special item, he successfully make a cup of hot cocoa with a small marshmallow and roll candy biscuits on top and side with cocoa powder. He then bring it towards the living room to give to Blaze.

Silver:
(Silver bring the hot cocoa carefully and past towards Blaze with smile face)
Here you go. One cup of hot cocoa for beautiful princess.
Blaze:
(Turns around, smiling as she sees the hot cocoa)
Aww, you're the best, Silver. Thanks!
(She takes the mug and patting the spot next to her for Silver to join)
Silver:
(Curious in what movie Blaze pick)
What movie are you pick?
Blaze:
(Smiling mischievously)
You'll see. It's a surprise.
(She presses play, and the screen shows a classic action movie with lots of car chases and explosions.)
Hope you're ready for some intense action!
Silver:
(Look interest)
Ohh, ok, let's see.
As the movie starts, the thrilling action scenes unfold, with cars speeding through the streets and explosions lighting up the screen. Blaze relaxes on the couch, sipping her cocoa, while Silver settles beside her, enjoying the movie and the cozy atmosphere.
Blaze:
(Chuckles softly)
I thought you'd like this one. It's got everything: action, suspense, and a bit of humor.
Blaze then secretly leans against Silver, enjoying the time together. Silver actually noticed it and start cuddle her. Blaze smiles and cuddles closer to Silver, her head resting gently on his shoulder. The movie continues, but for a moment, everything feels peaceful as they enjoy the warmth of each other's company. The soft sound of the movie is a comforting background to the quiet bond they're sharing.
Blaze:
(Whispering)
I'm glad we have these moments together... even when things get crazy.
(She looks up at Silver, her eyes softening.)
Silver:
(Look back at her)
It really big coincidence since today is our day-off, so let's enjoy until it last.
(Kiss her forehead, lean into her)
Blaze:
(Smiling softly, she leans into the kiss, feeling the warmth of Silver's affection.)
I couldn't agree more. We deserve this, Silver.
She snuggles closer, content in the moment, her focus shifting between the movie and the comfort of Silver's embrace. Blaze felt different when her face actually contacts with Silver's body. It was very warm and fluffy making her more comfortable and sleepier like she just lean on fluffy warm pillows. Eventually both of them was sleep without noticed it as the movie continue to play until the end. Guess it was a tired day for both of them even though it only reaching afternoon.
