Tank stood tall at the edge of the street, his eyes wide as music filled the air.
Drums beat loudly. People laughed. Green was everywhere.
Uno bounced beside him. “This is the BEST day ever!” he barked, wagging his tail so fast it almost lifted him off the ground.
Tank blinked slowly. “It’s… a lot.”
Uno tilted his head. “You don’t like it?”
Tank didn’t answer right away.
He watched.
The flags waving.
The dancers stepping in rhythm.
The little kids laughing as beads flew through the air.
“I think I do,” Tank said finally. “I just need a minute to take it all in.”
Uno paused.
He looked around the way Tank was looking.
Not just at the noise… but at the details.
“Oh…” Uno said softly. “There’s more going on than I thought.”
Tank nodded.
A group passed by wearing bright green hats, smiling and waving.
Uno wagged his tail again—but this time, a little slower.
“It’s not just loud,” Uno said. “It’s kind of… happy.”
Tank smiled.
“Yeah,” he said. “You just have to look a little longer.”
Uno sat beside him as the parade continued.
This time, they watched together.
