The sun had risen at the dearly farm for quite some time now. And Cadpig was relaxing in the barn watching her favorite show.
TV: And welcome back to Finding your Inner piece with your host Troy Miller.
Cadpig: AHHHHHH, I love this show.
Ace yawned and stretched he often loved to sleep in a little.
Cadpig: Oh good morning Ace why don't you sit and watch with me for a while?
Ace yawned in responce.
Ace: What's on?
Cadpig: Finding Your Inner Piece. It's really a good show.
Ace having really nothing better to do pulls up a seat next to Cadpig.
Rolly walks in he as normal had just finished eating breakfast.
Rolly: Oh, hey ya guys.
Ace: Hi, Rolly.
Cadpig's eyes were glued to the TV.
Rolly: What's she watching?
Ace: Finding your inner peace,
Rolly: That show again?
Ace: Uh huh! It's really not that bad .
Rolly: Well I'm gonna see what Lucky or Pitch is doing are you in?
Ace: Give me about 10 minutes okay Rolly?
Rolly: Okay whatever you say Ace.
-
Rolly would have hardly had to look for Lucky though, since he suddenly barreled into the barn
Lucky: Make way! They're showing the special Thunderbolt lost episode with never before seen cut footage!
He grabs the remote and, oblivious to what was one before, changes the channel to Thunderbolt.
Lucky: (excitedly) Oh man, right in time!
As Lucky leapt onto the hay pile and then to the floor of the barn, he knocked out of the hay stack the form of a small puppy the age as everyone else.
Pitch grunts as he tumbles out and hits the floor. He frowns
Pitch: Hey, I was finding my inner peace trying see if Roger dropped any more sandwiches in there
He spots Rolly and smiles
Pitch: No sandwiches, sorry
~~~~
Meanwhile, over at the House of Deville, Cruella gives a happy, semi-evil chuckle...again. She pulls out her tap recorder
Cruella: Memo to myself....this time I've done it!
She inspects the hem of a grayishy overcoat.
Cruella: Why didn't I think of it sooner?! Using shedded cat's fur as the bases for a coat! and what's more, it'll probably keep those mangy Dearly pups out of my hair forever!
She cackles
Cruella: Oh I must rush over immediately and show Anita, plus test it out!
She grabs the coat and makes for her car.
-
All Rolly could do was dive for cover as he saw Lucky barrel straight in to the barn. Cadpig who was still watching her show groans in frustration as Lucky changes the channel.
Cadpig: Um......... excuse me Lucky but in case you didn't realise I was trying to watch my show. Cadpig said with another groan.
Cadpig: Ugh just forget it . Cadpig said storming out of the barn.
"I'll go calm her down" Ace said with a sigh running after Cadpig.
"Oh hey Pitch" Rolly said. Rolly's ears go down when Pitch said no sandwiches. "Ohhhhh, man and Roger makes the best sandwiches" He said as his stomach began to rumble.
-
Lucky looked a bit guilty as Cadpig left, yet then sighed. "Well sorry, but...this is Thunderbolt we're talking about! and...the lost episode besides"
Pitch smiled, "Yeah, the only sandwiches I saw were the one's Nanny was carrying out of the house to her car..."
He doesn't mean to spill this bit of news but does.
((I'll borrow Nanny for a sec here))
Meanwhile, Nanny was halfway to the little blue car to set in the plate of sandwiches she volunteered Roger into making for her and some of her friend's card night. She almost reaches the car too when Cruella suddenly screeches up, not hitting anything but blocking Nanny's path to the car.
Cruella hops out "Anita! Darling, I must show you this!"
She rushed past Nanny as if she doesn't see her and into the house.
Nanny glances down at the now cat fur covered sandwiches "Oh, that woman!".

She rushed past Nanny as if she doesn't see her and into the house.
Nanny glances down at the now cat fur covered sandwiches "Oh, that woman!".
"Yeah but really Lucky you should have at least asked her permissionI know how much you love Thunderbolt and Cadpig will probably catch a rerun anyway but you should have at least asked first. Cadpig will get over it but that was a little bit harsh dude" Rolly said.
Meanwhile Ace was trying to calm Cadpig down until Cruella screeched up and Cadpig grabbed Ace and dove out of the way as her car screeched up. "What is that witch doing here"? Cadpig asked with a low growl.
-
Lucky hunched in a bit, Rolly getting him to actually feel sorry. He also noticed out of the corner of his eyes that the show was at commercial.
"Oh alright" he sighed, "I'll go apologize". He walked out of the barn over to where Cadpig and Ace were, "Hey Cadpig..." he said, "I just wanted to say sorry that I..." Lucky glanced up and noticed Cruella's car.
"What's she doing here?" he gave a low growl of his own. He watched as Nanny tried to brush off the sandwiches but then had to just continue with them to the car.
"Oh, I just bet she's up to no good" Lucky said with a shake of his head, "Come on, let's see what it might be" he waved to Ace and Cadpig as he snuck ever closer to the house.
-
"Yeah, you're right where Cruella goes trouble and danger are sure to follow." Ace said. Cadpig just waved a paw dismissively at Lucky, "Don't worry about it Lucky I forgive you" Cadpig said giving Lucky a little hug. "But yeah, let's follow her ." Cadpig said neaking up closer to the house with Lucky and Ace.
-
It was unclear if, especially without grabbing up Rolly for the job, just Ace, Cadpig and Lucky could have reached to see through the window, but luckily that wasn't needed as Cruella left the front door open and everything was visible and more audible from there.
Anita was sitting on the couch, just watching as Cruella went on about her latest idea.
"and it's made entirely of cat fur!" Cruella said. At Anita's shocked look, she frowned, "Shedded fur of course, I don't want the animal rights people at my door, but isn't it just the most splendid thing you've ever seen!" she asked, modeling it for Anita to see.
Lucky frowned, "Cat fur coat...", it didn't seem evil on the front end, given how Cruella said it was shedded fur, but...well this was Cruella.
Meanwhile in the barn, and as he climbed up to try a jump off of three hay barrels, after the try at two and one, Pitch noticed how quiet it was. "Gosh, I would have thought Cadpig and Lucky would have made up by now and come back in" he commented, before noticing something else, "Ooh, there's an old brownie in here!" he said, finding and tossing down the slightly hard brown food stuff, "I guess that's better than a sandwich" he giggled.
-
"Oh boy! brownies? There any more of those? "Rolly said looking around the hay stack for more brownies.
Rolly: I wonder where Ace, Cadpig, and Lucky hare." Rolly said walking off to see if he could find them. Rolly didn't walk far when he noticed cruella's car. "Uh oh this doesn't look good. I better tell Pitch about this." Rolly said.
-
Pitch was meanwhile riffling through the hay, trying to see if there were any more brownies left. He sighed and had just peeked his head out to inform Rolly of this, when he noticed the look on the returning pup's face.
Pitch: Gosh Rolly, you look like you've seen a ghost

Pitch: Gosh Rolly, you look like you've seen a ghost
Rolly was still trying to catch his breath as he saw Pitch.Z"I.... I sa.... I saw........" Rolly wheesed trying to tell Pitch about Cruella. Rolly took a moment to catch his breath. And then started over. "I saw Cruella's car in the driveway. And since Cruella's car is here that means Cruella is here. And since Cadpig, Ace, and Lucky are gone I'm kinda worried about them. We should try to find them especially since Cruella is here" Rolly said.
-
Pitch frowned, this was bad news indeed, yet as he leapt down he couldn't help wondering. "But...C-Cruella wouldn't...do anything to them, would she? I mean, right now she seems only interested in the farm and...oh you're right, let's just go check!" Pitch said, rushing from the barn and glancing about.
He sniffed too, "I...I think I smell them close" he said, hoping that this meant they were ok, of course, Cruella was close too.
~~~~
Meanwhile, in the house, Anita had of course complimented the coat, but Cruella could tell she was curious if there was more, so she went on.
"Of course, to really test this out, I need to try different types of shedded fur, and so I was wondering Anita if I might borrow that old barn cat of yours".
From where they were listening, Lucky's ear perked and then went back, "I knew it, she wants to cat-nap Tibs!" he exclaimed, yet not too loudly.
((In case your curious, I'm just making up stuff as I go along, so no clue if something like that would hold water for their adventure but wherever it goes))
-
(That works out well for an adventure. One question though you don't mind playing Tibbs do you? I would have but I wouldn't wanna mess up your idea)
"Not while we're still around she's not " Cadpig said.
Ace saw Rolly and Pitch.
"Quick you guys over here. Cruella is up to her old tricks. She wants to make a cat fur coat out of Tibbs" Ace said quickly.
-
((Even if there wasn't much of a plan besides Tibs being kidnapped, nah, I don't have any problems with taking him on since he'll be a major part of Cruella's plan :)))
"There they are Rolly!" Pitch exclaimed happily but not too loudly and rushed over. He frowned as Ace told them what was going on.
"Y-ya sure this isn't like that time she just bought a lot of live cats to wear them?" Pitch asked.
"Well I'm not waiting to find out!" Lucky exclaimed.
Just then Cruella came walking out of the house, "Well, of course I understand, sentimentalities to the cat and all" she said, "couldn't blame a girl for asking, but no, I'll find another cat don't you worry, tatah darling".
"Well, at least she gave up easily" Pitch said with a smile. Lucky glanced over at him, "Please, someone like Cruella is not going to just drop it", he glanced over suspiciously again as she got in her car.
~~~~
Meanwhile, in the railroad car he and the Cornel used at times, Tibs ears perked at an odd noise outside the door. He raised his head and squinted into the darkness.
"Cornel..." he called hesitantly.
-
"Yeah, Cruella never gives up. She has about chance at giving up as Rolly has if he decided to not eat for a month." Cadpig said.
"Hey, leave my stomach out of this" ROlly said.
"We have to do something. But, what can we do guys?" Ace asked.
-
Lucky had just been thinking on this question, "Well I say we should definatly follow Cruella to see what she's really up to, but Tibs might need a guard posted near him if she tries anything soon" the pup realized, turning to the others.
"I think if someone's gotta beat up cat-nappers, Ace would probably be better at it than me" Pitch said in a bit of a nervous tone, being completely honest with how he felt about his fight skills.
Lucky was about to say something when Cruella's voice made itself known talking in a Walkie Talkie, "I don't care if the door's locked, I'm paying you to get that cat, now I can't hang around any longer or Anita might suspect, just call me when you two have done something right!" she slammed the device down and angrily started her car.

"Yeah, Pitch you're right Ace should be the one to fight off Cat nappers. Hey, wait a minute what? Me fight off Cat nappers? Are you trying to get me killed Pitch?" Ace said.
"Yeah, Pitch is right I believe in you Ace." Cadpig said.
"What about if Rolly stood guard no one would ever get past him unless they had a sandwich." Ace said.
-
Pitch shrugged, "Well, I don't know if I meant alone..." he began to try and explain.
Lucky had meanwhile caught the tail end of what Cruella said before driving off. "Looks like we all might be needed for cat-watching duty!" he said, starting that way even as he explained, "I think Cruella was just talking to the cat-nappers...so I think I have a feeling who they are!"
~~~~
Off of Cruella's orders, her hired cat-nappers who were of course Horace and Jasper had managed to bag Tibs, and he didn't like it one bit.
"Oh, it's not exactly the Twilight Bark, and there isn't a Twilight Meow...maybe there should be..." Tibs broke this train of thought and meowed and clawed fiercely, yet for all this still felt himself dropped into what was probably a truck or car.
He meowed even louder, "Oh with the Cornel and 99 puppies you'd think someone would hear me!" he complained to himself.
-
Ace was so worried about watching the barn that he hadn't even noticed Tibs being taken away but Cadpig however saw the whole thing. "Guys I don't think we need to worry about guarding Tibs any more now we have to concer ourselves with rescuing I'd know those meows anywhere. We need to rescue him" Cadpig said.
-
"But how?" Pitch wondered, "I mean what are we gonna do, jump on their truck?". Lucky grinned at him and Pitch got a bad feeling that would be exactly what they would be trying. Oh well, it was for Tibs after all.
-
"Ummmmm...... Lucky you have watching way to many thunderbolt episodes if you think we can all jump on to the truck. Except unlike Thunderbolt we don't have stunt doubles" Ace said.
" Come on Ace you can do it we're your friends and it's our job to save Tibs. Do it for me Ace please." Cadpig said.
Ace sighs. " Well we'd better get going if we wanna jump on that truck" Ace said.
Ace and Cadpig jumped on to the truck while Rolly was having a hard time just keeping up. Rolly stopped and wheezed. There would be no way he could catch up with the truck.
-
From his own rush and almost catching the truck, Lucky noticed Rolly falling behind and turned to him, "Come on Rolly, you can do it!" he tried to encourage. He wondered vaguely where Pitch had got to but then the other puppy made himself known scooting over on a skate-board.
"Here Rolly, we can ride on this!" he said as he wheeled by and helped haul the other pup on. Luckily the truck was even going down hill now.
With further incentive of not being run over, Lucky jumped onto the truck and then turned to hold out a hand when Pitch and Rolly got close.
"Here Rolly, grab on!" he called.
-
When Rolly was close enough scared as he was he grabbed Lucky's paw.
"We gotta help Rolly and Pitch. " Ace said
"Yeah, you're right. Don't worry Lucky we'll help you pull them up. " Cadpig said As Cadpig and Ace Help Lucky pull Rolly up on the truck.
"Thanks you guys! " Rolly said just a little embarrassed.
" No problem Rolly anything for a brother" Ace said.
Ace held out a paw for Pitch.
"Grab my paw Pitch we'll pull you up." Ace said.
-
Pitch raised his paw, trying to hold it out, when the skateboard under him swayed a bit and he had to steady himself. "On second thought, maybe this wasn't the best idea" he said, yet slowly stood once more and this time was able to grab Ace's paw.
Lucky helped them pull Pitch up. "Whew" he breathed, "at least when Tibs was rescuing us he just had to go through a hole in the wall".
((ooc: I was this close to putting "she" for Tibs! *sigh* that's what listening to the audio book will do to ya :DD))
-
"I wonder where this truck is headed anyway" Rolly said.
"My best guess would be Cruella's house. Since Cruella probably hired these guys and these guys would most likely be those pushover's Horace and Jasper"Cadpig said.
"All right ya guys we need to think up some ideas on how we rescue Tibbs." Ace said.
-
The truck the pups were on looked like a sort of moving truck, with a thankfully large bumper. "C-couldn't we just open up the latch and then get Tibbs out of the bag and run for it?" Pitch asked.
"Maybe" Lucky thought and said, "but we'd have to wait until the truck...". Before he'd finished his sentence the truck did slow down a bit to turn through the gates of the House of Deville.
"Looks like you were right Cadpig" Lucky said, "Quick, we've got to get in and either hide 'till we can help Tibbs or get him out before they see", Lucky pushed up on the latch but knew it would probably take all of them to budge it. Pitch helped.
-
Ace Cadpig and Rolly helped open the latch. They finally all got it open.
"Let's just get Tibbs and get out of here" Cadpig said.
But, just then she heard voices.
"Scratch that let's just hide" Cadpig said
-
Pitch and Lucky quickly followed the others into the van. Pitch glanced about but couldn't see anywhere to hide but...the bag with Tibbs.
He opened the flap, "I think this is gonna be our best shot" he said. "Probably so" Lucky nodded, "quick, into the bag" he instructed the others.
As they made themselves known, Tibbs frowned, "W-don't tell me you kids came over here alone?" he asked.
"We're not alone, there's like five of us all total" Pitch whispered with a smile. Tibbs just sighed. Just then the bag lifted as someone picked it up.
"Where we suppose to put the cat anyway?" a whinny voice that sounded like Horace asked.
"I don't know" Cruealla replied, "just somewhere where he won't bother Scorch"
-
Cadpig saw this and growled softly. "Okay that's it Cruella has crossed the line. You can kidnap Tibs but when you kidnap my brothers then I get mad" She whispered to herself. To avoid being seen she snuck around the back of the truck for Ace and Rolly she needed all the help she could get now.
"Ace, Rolly," She whispered.
Ace and Rolly came out of hiding seeing the whole thing too.
Rolly: What do we do Cadpig?
Cadpig: We're gonna improvise that's what we're gonna do.
Ace: Cadpig, I'm scared.
Cadpig: I am too. But, we have to do this not just for Tibs but for Lucky and Pitch too.
-
Pitch frowned, "I think...not to criticize your plan, Lucky, but the others might have been smart not to crawl in the bag..." he said as he felt they were being hopelessly carried inside.
Lucky frowned, "Hey, I'll get us out ok...just, let me think...".
"Shh, boys quiet" Tibs hissed, "as the Cornel would say now's the time for recon and not letting the enemy know how many of us are here".
Horace and Jasper carried the bag over to a table and set it down, "I don't know about you, but I want a bit to eat first" one of them said, probably Horace, walking off.
With a spring of hope, Pitch pushed at the bag...only to find it had been craftily tied closed. He whimpered a bit, "Well that's just great...".
-
"Ok you guys we need an idea. "Cadpig said sneaking into the house with Ace and Rolly. The 3 pups huddle trying to shoot out some ideas on how to rescue Lucky Pitch and Tibs.
"I got it. Ace you and me try to get that sack open and Rolly you keep those humans busy. " Cadpig said.
"You got it Cadpig" Rolly said
-
Pitch perked up his ears, thinking he heard something, "H-hey Tibs, Lucky, did you guys..." he didn't even finish his sentence before smiling and wagging his tail, "It's Cadpig and Ace and Rolly, they're gonna save us".
"Ah, Pitch" Lucky complained, "Don't wag your tail here, there's not enough room!".
"Sorry" Pitch frowned.
In the kitchen, Horace was still riffling through the fridge, "How come Cruella never buys actual food?" he questioned looking at all the specialty food suppose to help your skin and what not.
-
Rolly runs into the kitchen seeing Horace . Rolly barks trying to distract Horace long enough so Cadpig and Ace could get Lucky Pitch and Tibs out.
-
Horace turned at the sound, "What, hey!" he exclaimed seeing Rolly.
"You're not suppose to be here!" Jasper followed up as both took off after the pup.
-
"Bingo" Cadpig said as she saw Horace and Jasper take off after Rolly.
Rolly meanwhile took off as fast as his fat little body could carry him *Pant Pant* The Things *Pant Pant* I do *Pant Pant* For family" Rolly said
"We'd better hurry up and Rescue Rolly. "Ace said seeing Rolly couldn't keep this up for to much longer.
Ace quickly jumped up on to the table where the sack was and ripped it open.
-
"Whew, thanks Ace" Lucky said as they came out, "I'm not saying cats stink or anything, but..." he smirked.
"W-what's Rolly doing?" Pitch asked as they came out and he saw Horace and Jasper quickly rushing about after the stout puppy.
"Looks like helping to save us" Tibs said, "but I'm not a Lieutenant just because the Cornel gives me rides every now and then!" he leapt down off the table and rushed over with a hiss to claw at and tangle up Horace and Jasper's running.
"But, Tibs, now we just have to save you again!" Lucky said.
"Make for the door, all of you, I'm coming!" Tibs shouted.
Just then, from upstairs, Cruella's voice was heard, "What on earth are you boys doing to that cat down there! Oh do I have to come down myself?!".
-
"Thanks Tibs! You couldn't have come at a better time. Rolly said trying to get to the door but couldn't he had lost all his energy. "You guys go ahead." Rolly said out of breath.
"No, I don't care if I have to carry you out that door we are not leaving without you Rolly" Ace said.
Cadpig and Ace both help Rolly back up to his feet.
-
"That's it, now go go go" Lucky pushed from behind just enough to get Rolly going, and stayed there incase he'd need another push.
-
Ace and Cadpig helped push Rolly out the door. "What about Tibs?" Rolly said worrying about the cat.
-
Just then Tibs streaked by out the door himself, "Come on kids, those two may be slightly slow but they'll chase after us soon enough" he called.
Lucky laughed, "Looks like Tibs has it under control too!" he said taking after the cat.
"Wow, I didn't expect it to be that easy" Pitch commented.
"Eh, what can I say, Horace and Jasper aren't the quickest frisbees in the bunch" Lucky answered with a smile.
-
"That's for sure" Cadpig laughed.
"We better get going before one of us gets caught again and let's not forget Cruella isn't so slow if we don't hurry we're dead meat. " Ace said.
Ace and Cadpig and Rolly ran as fast as they could to get back to Dearly Farm.
-
As Cruella came downstairs and saw Horace and Jasper discussing something amongst themselves with an empty bag she got a bad feeling, as well as felt her blood pressure rise.
"Boys...something you need to tell me..." she asked through grit teeth
~~~~
"Well I can tell you kids this much, for saving me you're sure to get a high recommendation in the the Bark Brigade'.
"Really? Wow" Pitch smiled, "but of course we only did it to save you Tibs, like you did us, not because you were a lieutenant".
"Still, that's sure to make Tripod jealous!" Lucky couldn't help thinking and saying.
-
"Really wow" Ace said. "But, Pitch is right you did the same thing for us so we didn't do it to get a reward or a high reccomendation. We just did it to help you out like you had helped us out" Ace said.
"Yeah, you're not just a Leitenant you're like part of our family. And we help family out." Cadpig said.
-
"Yeah, you and the Cornel should so take more active roles in the Bark Brigade drills over Pug...just a suggestion" Lucky threw out, hoping to make it work somewhat and maybe they would be ride of Pug...he knew it wouldn't though.
As the farm came into sight, Pitch smiled, "Home!".
Just then he heard the sound of a car, coming from the House of Devil. He turned, "Uh oh, I think Cruella might know Tibs is gone...".
"Quick, run" Lucky said, "we'll hide Tibs somewhere where she can't find him, and like proven earlier Anita won't give her permission to just search the farm or anything".
-
"Can we ever get rid of this woman? She is never gonna give up is she? " Ace said.
"No, I really don't think she is" Cadpig said.
"We're gonna have to hide Tibbs." Ace said.
Rolly thought of something. "That hay stack in the barn we hide Tibbs in there Cruella would never even think about checking in there" Rolly said.
-
"Of course, why didn't I think of how useful hay stack could be!" Pitch exclaimed. "Sounds good to me" Tibs took off with the others towards the barn while Cruella squealed up and, rather than search for the cat though, proceeded to the front door.
Luckily Anita answered. "Anita, I've come up with the most marvelous new fashion design, and I need your entire barn yard as inspiration" Cruella declared, figuring this would be the perfect in to getting to search about the Dearly farm for the cat, if he was here.
-

"Let me at her I'll rip her apart." Ace growled .
"Relax Ace she isn't worth it. Come on we have got to get back to the barn and make sure Cruella can't find tibbs" Cadpig said.
-
"Yeah, if we can keep Tibs hidden long enough, maybe she'll just give up and leave" Pitch said optimistically.
"Of course she'll probably just send Horace and Jasper next, but we can handle them" Lucky added.
-
"Horace and Jasper? Those guys are pushovers. We could take them on in our sleep. Cruella is who we should all be worried about come on let's go guys" Cadpig said running to the barn. If she returned in enough time maybe she could at least watch the ending of her show.
-
As they reached the barn, Pitch picked up the remote and flipped the TV back to the channel he knew Cadpig had been watching.
"Hey! What about Thunder..." Lucky cut himself off, remembering this morning and figuring he owed it to Cadpig, "Fine, we'll listen to the meditation lady's last words of wisdom or what not" he put his head down on his paws.
Pitch tilted his head, "What is the point of this show anyway?" he asked Cadpig in honest curiosity, "do you just watch her meditate or...what?".
Tibs found a pretty good sized hay bail to stick around and duck into incase Cruella popped her head in.

Tibs found a pretty good sized hay bail to stick around and duck into incase Cruella popped her head in.
Cadpig closed her eyes in order to get herself centered but just then Pitch spoke. Cadpig sighed trying her best not to become annoyed. She often didn't like to be interrupted.
She took a deep breath. "Pitch it's more then then just meditation. "Your inner self" is a great show that helps you feel better about yourself. Ithelps you center. And with all the bad things that are going on in this world today we all need a way to center. A way to escape. A way tohelp relax ourselves so we don't end up killing each other. This isn't just a Medittion show. It's my escape. It's my way to get myself centered."She said with a content little sigh as it rolled into credits.
Cadpig picked up that Remote and changed it to the Channel Lucky was watching where another Thuderbolt episode had just started. "There you go Lucky, enjoy." She said happily giving Lucky a hug. "Now, If you don't mind I'm going to go find a nice quiet place to Meditate and find my inner peace. Any of you are free to join me.
"Okay, but you better stay in the barn just in case Cruella tries to kidnap you. The last thing we wanna do is rescue a third dog today" Rolly said.
-
"You know what" Pitch decided, "I think I'll give it a try" he followed after Cadpig.
"Ok, you two's choice, I'm gonna catch up on Thuderbolt!" Lucky said. From where he heard this, Tibs couldn't help asking the pup, "haven't you seen this...and all of them?".
"Well just in case I forgot" Lucky replied. The cat sighed.
-
Cadpig smiled when she saw Pitch come to join her. Ace followed behind Pitch and Cadpig. "Hey guy wait up not so fast I wanna come too" Ace said.
-
Pitch followed along after Cadpig.
"Ooh, look Rolly, it's the one where Thunderbolt battles people in space!" Lucky exclaimed, seeing the episode, "this is a good one". Of course, Lucky always said all of them were 'good ones'.
"Now where could that mangy cat be..." Cruella began exploring about the barn yard.

Rolly yawned in responce as Rolly sat next to Lucky with some food he had taken from the fridge from when they rescued Tibbs. Rolly had seen this episode so many times that it wasn't really interesting. He was just sitting there keeping Lucky company.
"Hey Luck, when do the new Thuderbolt episodes come on? You know the ones you haven't seen a bajillion times." Rolly said trying to talk with his mouth full.
Ace followed Cadpig and Pitch to a small area above Lucky and Rolly.
"So Cadpig where is this nice quiet Meditating spot." Ace said .
"Keep your spots on Ace we're almost there." Cadpig said.
-
"I don't know" Lucky answered honestly, "maybe we should sneak down the TV station some time and find out" he grinned.
-
When Lucky had said that last part Rolly who was eating a sandwich started to choke on it that was a horrible idea. He didn't know whether Lucky was kidding or not. "Lucky please tell me you're not honestly considering it. What if the people who own the TV network work for Cruella? And besides Lucky take a good look in the mirror we're dog's . Dog's aren't allowed in TV stations. What do you suggest we do all five of us get on top of each other and put on human clothing disguising ourselves as a human who works there?" Rolly said with his mouth full.
"All right you guys here it is now just sit right here next to me and just empty your mind.Find your happy place" Cadpig said.
"Do I have one of those"? AJ said.
"Well, of course you do even Cruella has a happy place. Granted it may be hell with dark clouds and demons but it still makes her happy" Cadpig said.
-
Pitch nodded and right before attempting it, smiled at Ace, "and Mooch's probably consists of beat all of us up" he slightly joked before actually getting down to trying meditate.
"Ok...emptying my mind...um that's thinking of nothing, so...I'll think of an empty black hole..." he tried to do that.
Lucky hadn't really thought that far into the plan...until Rolly said that! He turned to his brohter, "Rolly, you're a genius!" he hugged the other pup too him, "come on, we just need to get Ace and...oh, they're mediating" he paused as he recalled how much he'd pushed Cadpig today, maybe he should wait until she was done.
"That's ok" he grinned, "we still need to find one or Roger's coats that will work properly, come on!" he began to drag Rolly away.
-
Rolly once again choked on his food. This was a real suggestion. "Lucky Are you Insane?" Rolly hugged Lucky he knew he was gonna have to do it anyway. Once Lucky set his mind to something there was just no way of talking him ou of it. "Here we go again" Rolly said letting himself be pulled away by Lucky,
Ace sat down next to Cadpig and tried to empty his mind. And just tried to think of his happy place.
About 20 minutes later the 3 pups were done meditating.
"You know I don't know why but I have a weird feeling in my gut that Lucky is gonna make us do something real stupid." Cadpig said.
"Come on you guys Lucky has an idea about all five of us dressing as a human and sneaking into a TV studio and we need your help." Rolly said.
Ace looked over at Cadpig."You gotta teach me how you do that" Ace said.
-
"We're gonna what?!" came Pitch's shocked answer, "L-Lucky, are you in-".
"No, Rolly already asked me that" Lucky answered as he came around the corner dragging the coat, "and come on guys, we can do this, especially with all five of us. It's an undercover mission to find out when they're making more Thunderbolt episodes!" he explained.
-
"Thuderbolt episodes? We're risking our lives for Thunderbolt episodes?"Cadpig said angrily.
"Cadpig, calm down. Look you guys Lucky is our brother and we have to support him. I don't know about the rest of but I'm with Lucky on this" Ace said.
Cadpig sighs.
Cadpig: Me too!
"But, wait Tibbs. Don't you think one of us should stay here to watch out for Cruella just in case." Rolly said just remembering.
-
"Hmm, well not that you kids haven't already done quite enough for me already, but perhaps you're right...that and I'd like to explain about less of you to your parents if you were caught and it was found out I knew about the plan" the cat smiled.
"Hmm...sneaking into a TV station or keeping Cruella at bay...I'm not sure which is worse" Pitch admitted to Rolly, not sure yet which he'd like to take.
-
Ace sighs. "You guys go I'll keep an eye on Tibbs"Ace said he didn't want too. But he felt like he had no other choice"
Cadpig felt a little bit bad for Ace. He was kinda sweet. "Ace are you sure you wanna do this"? Cadpig asked worriedly.
-
"Yeah I'll stay too or something if you want" Pitch added, "I don't care if I go or not really".
Tibs sighed and stood, "You know what, you kids probably wouldn't even have to pick someone to stay, I'm sure...".
Just then he was interrupted by Cruella's voice. "Oh, I wonder if they could be in this smelly barn, that seems like exactly where Runni would hid a cat from me!" Cruella said right outside the door.
-
"Let's wait until after Cruella leaves to do this" Cadpig suggested.
"Yeah, cadpig is right let's wait till the devil leaves," Rolly said.
-
"And we should hide Tibs" Pitch thought of. He walked over to the hay stack, but Tibs held up a paw, "already ahead of you, we cats can hide way better than dogs could ever know" he winked before darting down into the hay.
Cruella opened the door, and Pitch backed up a bit. Even Lucky looked unsure, but Cruella didn't pay the puppies much mind as she walked in and looked around.
"Hmm...yes, well nothing in here I guess" she said, "unless you dogs have somehow become smart enough to hide stuff" she joked and smirked down at the puppies. Lucky growled.
"Oh hush up!" Cruella said before turning and walking out of the barn to look around other parts of the farm. "Memo to myself" she told her tape recorder on the way out, "give Rupert 99 muzzled for next Christmas, just to be safe".
As the barn door closed, Lucky frowned, "I'd like to muzzle her!" he said.
-
"I'd like to do more then just muzzle her" Cadpig said with a low growl.
"Yeah me too" Ace said.
-
"Now kids" Tibs said, coming out of hiding again, "much as I understand the sentiment, that's no way for Bark Brigade members to act".
"Yeah" Lucky half agreed, "but right now we've got more important matters, like getting to that TV station!".
"Oh...you didn't forget that?" Pitch asked.
"Nope" Lucky answered.
Pitch peered out the barn door to see what Cruella was doing. "Well...she's going to her car, but like we said, I don't know if she's actually gone or gonna come back".
-
"Now kids" Tibs said, coming out of hiding again, "much as I understand the sentiment, that's no way for Bark Brigade members to act".
"Yeah" Lucky half agreed, "but right now we've got more important matters, like getting to that TV station!".
"Oh...you didn't forget that?" Pitch asked.
"Nope" Lucky answered.
Pitch peered out the barn door to see what Cruella was doing. "Well...she's going to her car, but like we said, I don't know if she's actually gone or gonna come back".
"Sorry sir" Cadpig and Ace both said ashamed.
"Well if we're gonna do this crazy plan of Lucky we better just do it now and get it get it over with before we all come to our senses" Cadpig said.
"Yeah let's just do this and get it over with. Who gets to be on top" ? Ace said.
-
"Well that'd be me of course" Lucky said with a smile. "but...if one of you guys want to, you can" he added.
"I think I'll stick with middle or bottom" Pitch said, "whoever's on top has to keep a straight face for even the little bit seen and I can't sneak in places without looking guilty".
-
"Maybe it should be Cadpig. I mean let's think about this for a second. If someone obvviously doesn't believe that we're not dogs. Cadpig can think of something real smart to say. After all I............." Ace started
But Cadpig stopped him. "All though I appreciate that you're sticking up for me. I really think Lucky should be on top like Lucky said. I really am used to never being on top for these schemes it's OK. I think the order should be Rolly, Pitch you, me and then Lucky." Cadpig said .
Ace sighs and runs off and comes back with a big brown hat and put it on Lucky's head. "I really hope you know what you are doing Lucky" Ace said his voice filled with worry.
-
"Don't I always?" Lucky smirked. Pitch opened his mouth, "Don't answer that" Lucky quickly told him.
Pitch just smiled and shook his head, "Ok then, let's get on with it I guess" he said, getting on top of Rolly.
-
Ace sighs worrying deeply on how things can go wrong. "Pitch is right let's just this over with" Ace said climbing on top of Pitch. With a little bit of struggle Cadpig climbed on top of Ace. "Come on Lucky let's do this before dinner"Rolly said.
-
"Alright then" Lucky put the hat on his head and then, pulling the coat, climbed on top of Cappig and positioned the coat to cover them.
"Alright, now everyone just keep it steady while Rolly walks and I'll do the talking.
"Wait" Pitch thought of something, "We're walking all the way to the TV station like this?".
"Of course not" Lucky answered, "there's a bus due just at the main road outside the farm any minute, that's our first stop and then it'll drive us downtown to the TV station".
"Oh..." Pitch wasn't sure if this made the situation easier or harder.
-
"Don't we need money for buses Lucky?In case you haven't noticed we're dogs we've got no pockets , no wallet's and more importantly no MONEY" Ace said.
"I know next Lucky is going to suggest that we try to steal the bus Nanny drives when we go places." Rolly said sarcastically with a laugh.
-
Pitch glanced down, "Um Rolly, I think everytime you say something like that you just..."
"Hey! That'll work!" Lucky said, "I mean, how hard can driving be?!".
Pitch sighed, "Nevermind...".
-
Cadpig and Ace groan. "Rolly why did you have to say that"? Ace said.
"It wasn't a serious idea I was being sarcastic. It's not my fault Lucky can't read sarcasm"Rolly said.
"Now, first of all Lucky how do you expect that we do that without driving off a bridge and plummeting to our deaths? " Cadpig asked.
Ace just sighed.
Ace: Just forget it Cadpig there's no talking Lucky out of it. But, if our parents find out we all blame Rolly, agreed?" Ace said.
"Agreed" Cadpig said.
-
"Uh sure...and I'll just not be involved in the talk at all...since I get so guilty I always admit to stuff" Pitch said.
Lucky sighed, "Gu-ys, relax" he said as they waddled nearer the bus, "this will just be like that time we stole Cruella's car, I steer and someone does the peddles".
-
"I guess I could do the pedals" Cadpig said.
"Lucky do you even know how to get the TV studio because I hope you do." Ace said.
"Don't worry you guys, Lucky has a plan. Don't you Lucky? Please tell them you have a plan." Rolly said.
"It's only downtown even Lucky can get us there as long as we don't get pulled over for reckless driving" Cadpig said.
-
"Please guys" Lucy smiled, "of course I have a plan, and...well how hard can downtown be to find" he shrugged as much as able.
"Wait, what?!" Pitch asked.
"Oh relax" Lucky said, "Ok Rolly, you ready, here's the first step" Lucky pushed the bus door's opened.
-
"God if you can hear me up there please let me live through this and I vow never to chase another cat and never do any bad thing again for the rest of my life." Ace said looking up to the skies.
"Don't worry Ace. Lucky knows what he's doing. At least I think he does." Cadpig said.
Ace sighed full of worry and walked on to the bus.
Rolly followed his stomach growled loudly as he walked on to the bus.
"Uhhhhh hey Luck ya think we could stop at a drive thru on our way there? I am starving."Rolly said.
-
"Rolly" Lucky turned to him, "we have a schedule to keep and...".
"I think Rolly would deserve it since he's gotta be the bottom of our pile the whole time" Pitch spoke up.
"Oh alright, we'll stop by a local Chunky Chickens" Lucky sighed.
((That chicken place in Dalmatian Vacation is "Chunky Chicken" right?))
-
(I wouldn't know. Ya see I never watched this show growing up because I didn't know it existed. I found out abpit it like 2 years ago and have seen just enough episodes on Youtube to really get me used to Cadpig's personality and I have never seen the Dalmation Vacation.so let's just go with Chunky Chicken)
"I love you man" Rolly said to Pitch as Pitch defended him . Rolly hugged Pitch.
"Ummmmmm..... I hate to be the bare of bad news but we don't have any money."Cadpig said.
But, just then Roger's wallet fell out of the coat pocket.
"We need to return this or we'll......" Ace started.
"Would you relax we're gonna catch a quick meal and that will be it. You guys kinda owe me and it's only gonna be about 25 dollars. We could always pay back Roger the differance." Rolly said.
"All right let's do it" Cadpig said.
"This trip is getting more and more worse. Now, we could get in trouble with Roger, our parents, and possibly even go to jail or even worse the pound." Ace said.
"Let's just go you watch we'll all feel much better when we get to Chunky Chickens"Rolly said.
-
"Yeah" Pitch said as Lucky took his position at the wheel and he prepared to help with whatever else would be needed, "if we're this good at sneaking we can always just sneak the money back the same way we snuck it...out" he figured.
"and I don't think they put dogs in the human jails" Lucky said as he turned the key that was in the ignition to start the bus.
-
"Okay everything is going great we're gonna die but that's gonna be ok. And even if we don't we'll be grounded till our pups pups have pups. But that's okay it's all gonna work out in the end. " Ace said to himself out loud.
"Don't worry Ace. Everything is gonna be just fine. When things get you stressed out you just need to focus on centering yourself and finding your happy place. " Cadpig said.
"Yeah, " Rolly said taking 25 dollars out of Roger's wallet. "And besides do you really think anyone's gonna believe that we took it? I mean he's probably just gonna think he spent it somewhere or something. I mean think about it, if you were a human and another human told you their dog stole their bus dressed up in Human clothing and stole 25 dollars out of your wallet. Would you believe them?" Rolly said.
"Well.... no.... but" Ace started.
"Well then there's no problem is there? Unless we get caught we're not getting into trouble and we're not gonna get caught" Rolly said.
-
"Yeah, what Rolly said" Pitch agreed with a smile, sure even he saw a few holes in the logic, but from what he'd heard, Lucky just had a sort of...well luck, when it came to this kinda stuff.
They pulled up to Chunky Chickens and were a car behind ordering. Lucky turned to Rolly, "Ok Rolster, you wanna order and give them the money or do you want me to to?" Lucky got the hat ready on his head but was also ready to pass it off if Rolly wanted to do it.
"I think even if the Chunky Chicken people had questions they'd think anything but a group of dogs just ord--Lucky now do we order?" Pitch suddenly asked.
"Oh right" Lucky pulled out a tape recorder from the pocket of the coat, "good thing I turned this on one time when Roger was order, um...do two big buckts of chicken work for you, Rolly?" he asked.
"Incredible" Pitch shook his head, "He has an answer for everything".
-
"Maybe we should get 3 to share it would be unfair if I was the only one eating let's get 3 to share." Rolly said.
-
"Yeah, ok fine that'll work" Lucky said, then he got his hat and tape recorder ready for when it was their turn. Halting the bus Lucky actually did a very impresive job of backing and playing what Roger had recorded on the tape to get in an order for three buckets.
"12.75, thankyou" the woman on the speaker said. Lucky just nodded and pulled forward to get the buckets of chicken, "See, so far everything's going great" he whispered before they reached the widow and he faced the man, took the bags and then pulled off again, "and, there you guys go" Lucky said.
"Don't you want some?" Pitch asked, noticing Lucky wasn't parking. "Nah, I'll eat after we see Thunderbolt" Lucky answered. Pitch just shook his head.
-
"Thanks Rolly. Ya see Ace with Lucky in charge we got nothing to worry about. And w'll even get the chance to meet Thunderbolt How great is that?" Cadpig said.
Ace still looked pretty worried as he ate a piece of chicken.
"Don't worry Ace it will all work out" Rolly said.
-
"Yeah, if nothing else, we're cute puppies and...well hard for TV people to get too mad at, probably" Pitch added and shrugged as he took a piece of chicken himself.
-
"Yeah, Pitch is right unless Cruella works there or something we have got nothing to worry about" Rolly said.
-
Pitch frowned with a bit of worry, "Oh please don't let her have taken over Thunderbolt like she did those other businesses for a time" he half prayed out loud.
"Don't worry, Thunderbolt would chase her off if she tried that" Lucky said.
The TV station soon came into view. "Ok guys, get ready this is it!" Lucky said excitedly.
-
Ace just sighed.
"You worry to much Ace it's all gonna work itself out I promise." Cadpig said.
Ace just thought of something. "Wait a minute don't most places like this have top notch security and only employees with key cards get in"?
"Oh, I forgot about that. But don't worry Lucky will think of an idea. "Rolly said.
-
"Yeah, worse comes to worse we just steal some of those fancy keys" Lucky said as they exited the bus in their human formation.
"See" Pitch said, "A plan...just as scary as the others..."
-
"Yeah, worse comes to worse we just steal some of those fancy keys" Lucky said as they exited the bus in their human formation.
"See" Pitch said, "A plan...just as scary as the others..."
Ace sighed. "Wonderful another scary plan. Can one plan just for one time not be scary?"Ace said
-
"Hey, it's you two who say they're scary, I call them...necessary and inventive" Lucky smiled.
As they waddled closer, he spotted a guard, "Ok, that's probably the man we need to follow!" Lucky whispered.
-
Ace just sighed. "All right let's get going with this plan if you don't mind I'll be the sane puppy in this group trying to think of an apology on what to tell mom and dad when this "Inventive Plan" blows up in our faces. Ace whispered.
-
"That'll probably be a good thing" Pitch said as they followed the man.
"Ok, Cadpig, you seem closest, you see if you can't grab the key while he's not looking" Lucky whispered.
That's inventive?! Pitch thought.
-
Cadpig just sighed in frustration. Cadpig quickly took the guards keys without him knowing.
"We're gonna do it . I can't believe it we are actually gonna do this. " Ace said to himself.
-
"That's my sister!" Lucky smiled, "Ok now we just have to wait for that guard to leave" he turned back to the door with the guard outside it.
Thankfully the guard stretched like he was about to take a break.
-
"Please don't remind me I'd like to think one of my brother's wasn't insane" Cadpig whispered up to Lucky.
"Now, how do we get in Lucky. This place must have millions of security guards. If this guy leaves on a break then another guy will fill in for him. Now that we got the key card what do we do. How many secrity guards do you know who wear a big trenchcoat and a large hat"? Ace whispered up to Lucky.
-
"Don't worry..." Lucky thought quickly, "we just...". As they squished against the wall after entering and before the other guard came over, Lucky saw a group of sheep for another show being lead across.
"Quick, out of the coat and hid under the sheep!" Lucky whispered.
"Oh Lucky...will that really work..." Pitch sounded unsure.
"Here's hoping" Lucky said
-
"Will this craziness never end" Cadpig screamed to herself. The pups all got out of the costume and hid between the sheep.
"Baa Baa" Ace said loudly trying to make sure he fit in with the crowd just in case anyone got suspicious.
-
Pitch struggled to keep in a giggle at Ace's action, even if it was for a good reason. He thought of baaing himself, but...no that would overdo it. He just concentrated on hiding under the wool as they moved along.
Lucky quickly rolled the coat and hat and held it in his mouth, also hidden under the sheep, as they moved, they didn't want to lose any of Roger's stuff and who knew when they might need it again.
He read the signs, "Ok...some boring commercial show and...ah, Thuderbolt's this way!" he whispered to his siblings, "Come on" he darted for the door to the set.
-
Rolly and Cadpig follow Lucky but Ace gets lost in the crowd of sheep. "Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly Pitch?" He called out Cadpig quickly grabbed Ace by the collar and pulled him on to the set.
-
Lucky turned, "Whew, nice save Cadpig, now let's try to stay toge--" Lucky's sentence dropped as they brought Thunderbolt out to do his scene, "Look...it's him..." Lucky whispered, awe struck
"Lucky" Pitch waved a hand infront of the pup's face, "We lost him..." he informed the others.
-
Lucky turned, "Whew, nice save Cadpig, now let's try to stay toge--" Lucky's sentence dropped as they brought Thunderbolt out to do his scene, "Look...it's him..." Lucky whispered, awe struck
"Lucky" Pitch waved a hand infront of the pup's face, "We lost him..." he informed the others.
"This is sky control paging Lucky. Come in Lucky" Cadpig said trying to snap Lucky out of it.
"And he had lost it the minute he had come up with his studio idea. Now, he is completely gone" Ace said.
"Okay take five Thunderbolt" The director said.
Thunderbolt walked off with a proud smile on his face when he looks to Lucky, Cadpig, Ace, and Pitch.
"What are you guys doing here? Who is responsible for this? I thought this was supposed to be a closed set." Thunderbolt said.
-
"We--we didn't mean any harm..." Pitch backed up and tried to explain, "we just..wanted to come see you...we like you so much" he gave a bright, innocent smile.
-
"We--we didn't mean any harm..." Pitch backed up and tried to explain, "we just..wanted to come see you...we like you so much" he gave a bright, innocent smile.
" Hey no worries kid.How could I be angry when you pups went through all that trouble just to see me? " Thunderbolt said with a smile.
"Thank You Mr. Thunderbolt sir. we watch your show all the time. You are the most amazing super hero ever" Ace said.
"Oh, thank You pup but easy with that "Mr. Thunderbolt sir" stuff. Please just call me Thunderbolt. So you pup's have names?" Thunderbolt said.
-
"Uh, yeah, I mean yes sir, I'm Pitch" Pitch said with a smile. He turned to Lucky to see if the other pup was going to speak and Lucky did snap himself out, "Oh wow, this is just...I mean, hi, Thunderbolt...I'm...uh...uh..." Lucky turned to the others, having gone blank on his name!
"Lucky" Pitch reminded.
"Right" Lucky turned back with a smile, "I'm Lucky".
-
"And I'm Ace, this is Cadpig and that is Rolly" Ace said stoked to meet Thunderbolt.
"Well, it's like I said nice to meet you pups. Wait a minute I knew you pups looked familiar you're those same pups who escaped Cruella Deville's house aren't you? It was all over the news" Thunderbolt said.
-
"Yeah, that was us" Pitch said, "and boy that was a scary experience" he shuddered.
"Yeah, if it hadn't been for Tibs and the Cornel...well, I don't know what would have happened, of course I helped too" Lucky smirked.
-
"And there goes Lucky going on his extreme power trip because of Thunderbolt." Cadpig said.
"I can only imagine that was scary. Look, how about you pups sit right over for a little while. I'm still shooting for the new episodes next month so just wait right over there and after we're done shooting I'll give you autographs and everything else you want." Thunderbolt said
-
"Oh, really Sir? That'd be great, and yeah...we'll go not bug you now" Pitch said then walked over with the others to sit to the side.
"See" Lucky said, "didn't I tell you everything would go great?".
-
"Yeah, I guess you did. But, just for the record if you ever do anything like again I will............. HARM YOU" Cadpig said.
"You know just for the record Cadpig for someone who always watches that inner peace finding your Center crap you sure can be violent sometimes ya, sure all that stuff is working?" Ace asked.
"Thanks pups oh and please help yourself to any of the the food on the catering table."Thunderbolt said pointing to a big table with a whole bunch of food on it.
"I think I have died and gone to Heaven" Rolly said.
-
Pitch laughed, "Now Rolly's super happy too" he said, "oh uh, and thankyou Sir" he told Thuderbolt.
"I'm sure once we get the autograph we won't have trouble convincing Lucky our plan's worked and to head home" Pitch whispered to Ace, thinking through how they might have passed any and all trouble they were trying to avoid.
-
"Yeah, keep your fingers crossed Pitch" Ace whispered back. Thunderbolt just smiled and winked at the pups and then he walked back on set to finish.
Meanwhile Rolly had made his way on to the catering table and started eating everything in sight.
-
"Uh Rolly...leave some for the actors too, ok" Pitch called over with a smile.
Lucky walked out and over a bit to get the best view he could of Thunderbolt on the set, "Isn't this great!" he said, "instead of watching him on TV we get to actually watch him! Like right in front of us!".
-
Cadpig and Ace sat next to Lucky. "No one at the farm will be able to believe that we are actually here watching Thunderbolt live." Ace said.
After eating his fill Rolly walked over and sat next to Lucky to watch as well.
-
(OOC: Ah, sorry, didn't see you'd replied)
"You know, you're right..." Lucky turned to the others, "they won't believe it...we gotta find some way to prove it to them...".
"Well, I'm sure they will when we tell them, and if we get Thunderbolt to autograph something...that'll probably show them too" Pitch said, not wanting Lucky to try and come up with any bad ideas of more proof than that.
-
"Maybe we could just ask for a picture taken with him. I'm sure TB wouldn't mind and that's a great idea" Ace said.
"Yeah, I agree a picture is a lot of proof." Cadpig said.
-
"Yeah and I can add it to my other Thunderbolt pictures" Lucky said with a smile.
"Or we could put it somewhere for everyone to see" Pitch said, "since we're all here".
"Yeah...that too..." Lucky frowned and shrugged.
-
"Yeah, Lucky we're as much of a part of this as you are. " Cadpig said.
" Yeah, Cadpig is right Luck. We found Thunderbolt together it should be put in a place where everyone can see it."Rolly said.
-
"Alright, alright, we'll let everyone see it" Lucky sighed as everyone agreed, "don't everyone gang up on me at once!".
Pitch laughed, "We just wanna make sure you're head doesn't get too big" he smiled.
-
"Yeah, we're sorry Lucky. Maybe we could get copies so that way you can keep one with your Thunderbolt stuff anyway" Cadpig said. Not wanting her brother to be upset her brother.
"Yeah, don't worry Lucky and besides we wouldn't have made it this far without your crazy idea. " Rolly said.
-
Lucky smiled, "Thanks guys, and it is pretty neat, just being here huh?".
"Definitely...uh are we still going to have to explain to mom and dad when we get home?" Pitch wondered.
-
(Do you mind if I bring in Pongo and Perdita. I think it would be hilarious if they had somehow found out and shown up at the studio? I think it would be pretty funny.)
-
(Hehe no, bring the on in!)
-
"Explain to mom and dad what?" A voice said from behind Pitch.
Ace and Cadpig were turned around so they didn't even know that Pongo was there.
"Oh, explain to mom and dad how we snuck off dearly farm stole the bus and snuck into a a Television studio" Ace answered still not realising it was Pongo who spoke.
Cadpig nervously elbowed Ace .
"What is it Cad.....................UH OH!" Ace said finally realizing that his mom and dad had followed them.
Ace laughs nervously.
"Uhhhhhh..... I....... Uhhhh........... Hi Pop" Ace said nervously.
" You wouldn't believe us if we say we were kidnapped and brought here would you?" Cadpig said.
"This is a very serious matter" Perdita said. "You all could of gotten hurt"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Rolly! It was all ROlly's fault. He was the one who gave Lucky this idea to begin with" Ace said.
"Oh, so it was Lucky's idea"? Pongo said looking angrily at Lucky.
"Well we just wanted to meet Thunderbolt and take pictures with him." Cadpig said.
"Well, it's good that you are taking pictures with him. Because for the next 3 weeks the pictures are the only way you will see Thunderbolt. No, Thunder Bolt, and no TV for the next 3 weeks" Pongo said.
"But, how will I be able to get myself centered. I need guidance I'll crack without TV." Cadpig said.
"Well, maybe you'll remember that the next time you even think about doing a idea like this again" Perdita said.
"Thanks a lot Rolly" Cadpig said.
"Yeah, thanks a lot" Ace said.
-
"M-mom, dad..." Pitch grinned nervously, backing up, "W-what are you doing here...besides telling us we're grounded, which I so get and all" the puppy said.
Lucky meanwhile, didn't 'get it' so much, "Three weeks?! But dad, the Thuderbolt movie special and..." he realized it was a lost cause though.
"Sorry...we just, wanted to have a great story, like meeting Thuderbolt that no one else had...ya know" he said.
-
"M-mom, dad..." Pitch grinned nervously, backing up, "W-what are you doing here...besides telling us we're grounded, which I so get and all" the puppy said.
Lucky meanwhile, didn't 'get it' so much, "Three weeks?! But dad, the Thuderbolt movie special and..." he realized it was a lost cause though.
"Sorry...we just, wanted to have a great story, like meeting Thuderbolt that no one else had...ya know" he said.
" We followed you here to make sure you didn't get in to much trouble" Perdita said.
"I can understand how you wanted to do something no other pup wanted to do. But, you crossed the line. You stole a bus. You snuck into a TV studio. You pups crossed the line. Now, Lucky I can understand you would likwe to see the Thunderbolt movie. But, you kids took a huge risk coming all the way out here. If you pups came out here you should have weighed the pro's and con's first. When you do something like this there's bound to be consequences. And if you wanted to do this so badly you should have realised that you would pay for it. But, I guess we could take it a little easier on you pups. Promise me that you will never pull off a stunt like this again and we may be able to come to an agreement that you pups can watch TV. But, you will be punished. You pups need to realize that there are consequences for your actions and maybe next time you'll think twice about pulling off a stunt like this."Pongo said.
-
"Ok, we promise...or I do" Pitch glanced over to Lucky.
"Yeah...I'll...think before...doing stuff again" Lucky said. Pitch kinda knew he'd forget after a while and be back to having bad ideas though.
-
Cadpig and Ace sighed at Lucky's response. "We promise too" They both said.
"And I promise too" Rolly said.
"Good, then maybe we could reach a fair agreement" Pongo said.
10 minutes later............
Thunderbolt walks up.
Perdita: We're very sorry about our pups barging in on you like that.
"Oh, that don't give it a second thought. You got some really well mannered puppies here you should be very proud" Thunderbolt said.
-
Lucky smiled, hoping maybe this good report would get them a shave off on the punishment.
"Um, thanks again for being so understanding about us just barging in, though" Pitch said.
-
"I'm used to it . You think you're the only pups who ever barged in during a shooting? Trust me I get this every day. Fan girls, pups, kittens, and any other animal you can think of. Trust me after a while you get kinda used to it." Thunderbolt said waving a paw dismissively as Pitch apoligized.
"Well Thank You anyway. This won't happen again now will it"? Perdita said looking at the pups.
"No, Mom" Cadpig,Ace, Rolly, said obiediently.
"Don't go down to hard on them Mam after all with Lucky here your other pups were in no real trouble. You know Lucky you remind me of me when I was a pup." Thunderbolt said.
"Just what Lucky needs..............................................an Ego boost" Cadpig whispered to Pitch sarcastically.
-
Pitch nodded, "Yeah".
The ego boost did work, took, judging from the smile that came across Lucky's face, "Did ya hear that? I'm just like him" he asked the others.
"Yeah...we heard" Pitch said.
-
Rolly sighed. "And unfortyunately Lucky is never gonna be able to make us forget it. " Rolly said.
"So how about some pictures and autographs pups"? Thunderbolt said.
-
"Yes please and thank you sir" Pitch said with a big smile.
"Yeah, and uh...thanks mom and dad for still letting us get the pictures" he said, realizing their punishment could have been a lot worse.
-
Once again Thunderbolt waved his paw dismissively at Pitch. It's like I said kid it's the least I can do. After all you came all this way and risked getting grounded just to see me now what kind of guy would I be if I made you guys leave empty handed?" Thunderbolt said.
"It's no problem Pitch you are all good pups.....................................................................most of the time. Don't want to be to hard on you guys"Pongo said.
Thunderbolt signed all of the autographs and took pictures with the pups. "Take care pups. And if you see her make sure you give Cruella a good kick in the pants for me". Thunder said with a wink.
-
"That's one order, Sir, I'll be happy to follow!" Lucky called back as they left.
"So um...did you guys walk here or is there a ride back home?" Pitch asked Pongo and Perdita.
-
" We got a ride from Roger and Anita. Even though we should make you walk home after what you pups did" Perdita said.
-
"Uh yeah, but...well then Roger and Anita would have had to come out for no reason if we didn't also get a ride back" Lucky figured with a smile.
"Lucky cool it, they're already letting us ride back" Pitch said.
-
"Yeah, Lucky chill. Pongo and Perdita will let us ride back with them.Pongo just said "We should" that's not the same thing Lucky of course Pongo and Perdita will let us ride back with them."
"Anita will drive us home and Roger will drive the bus home" Pongo said.
"Oh, that's right I almost forgot Lucky stole the bus" Ace said.
"Once again another one of Rolly's ideas. "Cadpig said.
"I told you I was being sarcastic. I didn't know Lucky would take it as a real option." Rolly said.
-
"Aw Rollster, you should know I take everything as a real option" Lucky grinned at his brother.
Anita rushed over from around the side of the car and with a smile bent down, "Oh you found them, well thank heavens" she pet the pups, "and where did you scamps run off to?" she asked.
"Good thing we can't really tell her" Pitch said with a smile, "I don't think she'd want to hear the whole story".
Anita opened the door of the car for the dogs while Roger walked over to the bus, "Ok, so the pups drove the...nevermind" Roger didn't want to try to think about why the bus was lost with the pups.
-
Cadpig smiled as Anita petted her.
"Yeah, the last thing we wanna do is tell the whole story and get in more trouble" Ace said.
"I'll have to remember that for next time" Rolly said.
But, then Rolly gave Lucky a big hug. "But for an adventure this was kinda cool" Rolly said.
-
Lucky looked a bit shocked, then smiled and returned the hug with a pat on Rolly's back, "Hey, happy to deliver" he said with a smile, "great adventures is what I do".
~~~~
"So...the cat fur idea is out the window?" Horace asked a bit nervously over the phone. Cruella frowned, "Yes...for now, although I just know there's some grand fashion miracle awaiting discovery on that farm...like, goat hoof boots! Or...something better than that!" she said, still brain storming.
-
"He said a "Cool" adventure not a "Great " Adventure. A Great adventure is one where we don't get caught" Ace said.
"Yeah"! Cadpig said.
-
"Ah same difference" Lucky shrugged. Pitch just sighed.
-
Rolly sighed as well as he got into the car with Cadpig Ace Pitch and Lucky.
"At least it wasn't a total loss. We got to see Thunderbolt live and in person and we got autographs and pictures. " Cadpig said.
"Yeah, I wonder what Mooch would say if he figures this happened to us." Ace said.
"Poor guy would probably have a heart attack" Cadpig said.
-
"I bet yall anything he won't believe it, just say we faked the pictures or something...but we'll have our grounding to prove we really did go and get in trouble for it" Pitch grinned, "He'll have to believe us!".
"Yeah, can't wait to rub it in his face" Lucky grinned.
-
"Yeah just seeing the look on his face will be priceless. But, knowing Mooch as well as I think I do he'll act like it doesn't phase him. Even though deep down it is eating him up on the inside"Cadpig said.
"And let's look on the bright side if we get grounded maybe that means no Bark Brigade for us for a while. You know my paws still hurt from those 500 push up's Lieutenant Pug made us do a couple weeks ago" Ace said.
"Or it could be worse we may have to pull double duty in the bark brigade" Rolly said.
"Shush don't give mom and dad punishment ideas" Ace said covering Rolly's mouth with a paw.
-
"Yeah" Pitch whispered, "no need spelling out our own trouble...more so than we have".
-
"Yeah, we're all ready in deep trouble to begin with." Perdita and Pong whispered to each other to discuss punishments.
Pongo looks at the pups sternly."Since this is your first time we're gonna take it easy on you. No going to Hiccup Hole for a month." Pongo said.
-
Pitch frowned, yet knew better than to argue the punishment.
"Ok, I guess that is fair...kinda" Pitch admitted.
Lucky sighed, "Aw dad..."he knew he was beat though, "ok".
-
"Hey it could have been worse Luck we could have had the TV taken away. Imagine what would happen if you didn't get to watch Thunderbolt or IO didn't get to watch my show." Cadpig said.
"But, there's always a chance that I could slim it down a bit. You pups be on your best behavior and I may just ground you from Hiccup Hole for 2 weeks" Pongo said.
" It could have been a lot worse." Rolly said with a sigh.
-
"You got it" Pitch said, "I'll sit in the house and do nothing, promise".
Lucky rolled his eyes, "I don't think we have to go that far, Pitch" he said.
-
"You got it" Pitch said, "I'll sit in the house and do nothing, promise".
Lucky rolled his eyes, "I don't think we have to go that far, Pitch" he said.
"Even I don't expect you guys can do that" Pongo said with a laugh to Pitch. "You guys can stay in the barn and watch TV or whatever. When I say be on your best behavior I just mean no crazy schemes and try not to get into trouble. I don't expect you to sit around doing nothing all day. You're grounded not prisoner's in a jail cell" Pongo said .
-
Pitch laughed, "Ok sorry", even with them being just then grounded, Pitch was amazed at times by just how cool of a father he had just with Pongo being...well him.
-
" I am so happy Lietenant Pug isn't our dad imagine what he'd make us do for something like this. "Ace said shuddering at the very thought.
-
Pitch frowned, "Don't make me think things like that! I'll have nightmares!" he shuddered.
Lucky scoffed, "If Pug had kids they'd run away and join a cat filled circus just to get away from him...and for the irony of his hate of cats" he smiled.
"Yeah, that's odd, he's gotta deal with Tibbs all the time since he's a lieutenant" Pitch realized.
-
(Can I add just one more OC? My Human OC Tuck. He is Roger's nephew. And do you wanna play Pug or can I?)
"Yeah, that is very strange. You would think it would be easier for Pug to deal with cats"Cadpig said.
-
(Hmm, well I don't mind eitherway, you've been taking Pongo and Perdita for use so I guess I'll do Pug if you want, and sure, bring Tuck on in! Wait...didn't you start this group, why are you asking me LOL but I get it just asking, no I don't have any problems with it)
"Yeah, or maybe Tibbs just intimidated him so much he knows not to mess with him but doesn't mention it" Lucky chuckled at the thought of Pug secretly scared of a cat...or another cat besides Persian Pete...
-
(Hmm, well I don't mind eitherway, you've been taking Pongo and Perdita for use so I guess I'll do Pug if you want, and sure, bring Tuck on in! Wait...didn't you start this group, why are you asking me LOL but I get it just asking, no I don't have any problems with it)
"Yeah, or maybe Tibbs just intimidated him so much he knows not to mess with him but doesn't mention it" Lucky chuckled at the thought of Pug secretly scared of a cat...or another cat besides Persian Pete...
(Sure, you can have Pug. After all I used Pongo Perdita and Thunderbolt so it's only fair that you have Pug)
"Also Cournel is best friends with Tibbs. And he is superior to Pug so maybe he just doesn't mess with Tibbs because of who his best friend is. " AJ said.
Meanwhile back at the dearly farm a large suburban bus pulled up and a kid about 12 or 13 walks off the bus. "Uhhhh thanks" The kid says to the bus driver as he pulls off. The kid looked down at a piece of paper hoping he was at the right hous. He wore a Yankee hat and picked up 3 suitcases and his book bag. This kid's name was Tucker and he was Roger's nephew.
The other dogs barked happily recognizing him. Tuck laughed. "Hey ya guys I brought you some stuff from New York" The Young kid said looking in to his bag for the presents he had brought the other pups.
-
"Yeah, that's probably the main reason" Lucky said with a small laugh, "That's one thing, at least with the Cornel on our side Pug can't yell too much when he's around".
~~~~
Meanwhile Pug was doing his rounds and found his Bark Brigade woefully distracted. "What is the meaning of this!" he yelled to the excited pups, "I didn't authorize any lolygagging and...oh it's that kid again" he scowled as he saw the human boy who always made the pups lose focus.
-
Fidget one of the pups in the group of pups saw Pug. "Awwww, don't be such a spoiled sport Pug. Who knows maybe he even brought you a present" Fidget said.
"The only present that Pug likes is inflicting pain and torture on us" Wizzer said. Fidget backed away nervously as Wizzer stood next to him.
"Uhhhhhh.......... Wizzer nothing personal but would you please not stand so close? It makes me kinda uneasy" Fidget said.
"Yeah at least we can stay on Cornel's good side." Cadpig said.
Tuck meanwhile was still handing out presents to the pups.
-
(Laughs. I love your pic, Dash! :D)
"I heard that Cadet! You'll get push up duty for...presents for me?" the dog hadn't thought to hope for that and walked up hesitantly, watching the presents be handed out.
-
(Laughs. I love your pic, Dash! :D)
"I heard that Cadet! You'll get push up duty for...presents for me?" the dog hadn't thought to hope for that and walked up hesitantly, watching the presents be handed out.
(OHHHHH, thank You. It's actually from the episode "MOOOOOVVVVEEEE It On Over"
When Duchess and Princess (Cows) have a fight. Cadpig being the nice person that she was tries to resolve the issue between them. But, ends up accidentally making the argument 10 times worse and soon everybody on the whole farm hates each other.)
"Oh Princess here's a present for you. And Wizzer here's your present. " Tuck said and noticed Pug coming closer interested in what he got as a present.
"Oh this is for you Pug. " Tuck said handing 3 or 4 presents to Pug.
"See I told you Pug" Fidget said.
-
(Ah, yeah, I saw that on Youtube!)
"Hmm, well, just shows I'm more important than you pups" Pug said, walking off and pushing his presents.
-
"Oh where are Cadpig, Rolly , Lucky, Ace, and Pitch? I got there presents too." Tucker said taking out ten presents for each of the five pups.
"FIdget bit his lip to focus on not laughing out loud after he saw this because seeing the look on Pug's face now would be priceless.
"It looks like Lucky, Pitch, Cadpig, Rolly, and Ace are more important then you sir" Wizzer said with a little smirk to Pug.
-
Pug turned, "What?", he spotted the presents, and his face began to turn red.
"Hey guys, I think I see the farm!" Pitch said, looking out the window, "and...there's some commotion near the porch..." he tried to see what it could be.
-
"Wait what do you mean" . Cadpig said jumping up and putting her paws on Pitch's head for a better look out the window.
"Hey guys it's Tucker. You know he always brings the best presents." Cadpig said hopping around the car eager to greet Tucker and to get some awesome presents.
"Maybe I got that new microwave over I have been waiting for" Rolly said wagging his tail.
-
"I don't care what I get, since it's always good" Pitch said.
"Oh more Thunderbolt DVDs would be awesome!" Lucky said, then frowned, "even if I can't watch them...".
-
"I don't care what I get, since it's always good" Pitch said.
"Oh more Thunderbolt DVDs would be awesome!" Lucky said, then frowned, "even if I can't watch them...".
"Why wouldn't you be able too Lucky? Dad said that we're just banned from Hiccup Hole for a month. We still get to watch TV." Cadpig said.
-
"Oh, right, I got lost in the threats and actual punishments" Lucky said.
"It lessened remember" Pitch said.
Lucky nodded, "Ok, then please be Thunderbolt DVDs!" he said, clamping his paws together.
-
" Yeah, and I hope for the new encyclopedia set. I hear it's the best encyclopedia book ever made" Cadpig said with a content sigh.
"Now, Kids don't get to picky. After all It is very nice for Tucker to bring presents for all of us in the first place." Perdita said as they got to the farm.
-
"Ok mom, and yeah whatever it is we'll be super excited" Pitch said.
The second Anita stopped the car, Pitch and Lucky bolted off and over to Tucker, jumping around him and barking happily with the others.
-
"Hey wait up" Cadpig said and hopped out of the car and ran as fast as she could over to Tucker and jumped into his arms and started licking him all over. Tucker just laughed hysterically. "I missed you a lot too Cadpig. Tucker said setting hr down and gives all five pups pats on the head as Rolly and Ace ran over barking happily and jumping up and down.
"I got presents for you guys too don't worry." Tucker said to the five entusiastic pups. And grabs onto a tree to avoid falling when Dipstick and Wizzer raced through his legs.
Ace opens all of his presents first. He was the one pup of the group that really loved to watch Major League baseball. Especially the New York Yankees. So Tucker bought him a lot of Yankee stuff.
Ace leaped into Tucker's arms and licked him continuously thanking him for the gifts.
"Your welcome" Tucker laughed setting down the small pup and giving him a hug.
"Oh, me next. Me next." Cadpig barked happily
Cadpig opens all her presents next.
"Wow I just can't believe it I got that encyclopedia set I wanted. Thanks Tucker!" She said licking his cheek happily.
"And Rolly how could I ever forget about my Pudgy Little Buddy? Here you go Rolly I think you really are gonna love it." Tucker said
Rolly opened all his parents and of course most of those were food and that new Microwave he'd been talking about.
"Oh Papa" Rolly drooled with anticipation.
"And here you are Lucky. Roger told me how much you really love Thunderbolt so I really think you will love your presents." Tucker said.
-
Along with Thunderbolt merchandise, one of Lucky's presents was a DVD of one of the seasons of Thunderbolt with extra stuff.
"Oh boy!" he barked and licked Tucker as well.
"Great" Pitch laughed, "now the TV will be even more hogged".
Pitch next opened his gift and the little mini tractor he could ride himself to make pathways through the hay he jumped around in already was just perfect. He leapt up and licked Tuck as well.
-
Tucker laughed as all the dogs licked him. "Your welcome " Tucker said patting all five of their little heads.
"Yeah all we need now is another TV" Cadpig said.
But, at that one moment a big delivery truck pulled into the driveway and 3 guys dropped off a 60 inch TV.
Tucker's family was really rich so when he went to Roger's place he went all out.
"Okay, it is official. Tuck is by far the coolest person or dog I have ever met well aside from maybe Thunderbolt" Ace said as he saw the huge TV.
"Okay is there one possible thing Tuck can't do"? Cadpig said.
Fidget could only stare at the TV in awe.
"Just when you think Tucker can't get any more awesome. He always finds a way to become even more awesome" Fidget said.
"You're tellin me" Patch said.
-
Pitch giggled and wagged his tail, "Defiantly" he agreed with what the others said.
Lucky just stared at the TV
~~~~
Meanwhile, over at Cruella's house, she had her giant telescope out. "Jasper, Horace, get in here!" she shouted.
The two men quickly zoomed in.
"Yes, Miss Devil?" Jasper said.
"That nitwit Rickter has a new giant television screen, but I know he doesn't make enough to own it, get over there and find some evidence of fraud so I can close them down and they have to give me their farm!" she said, the cat idea having been a bust, she was back to her schemes on the Dearly farm.
"Yes ma'am" Horace saluted and the two quickly left the office.
-
"Okay I love this kid. Tuck I hope you never leave ever again." Rolly said trying to pick up one of Tuck's suitcases to bring it in for him.
Tuck laughed. "Thank You Rolly" He said patting the small pup's head.
Tuck looked around for his Uncle.
-
As if on cue the bus finally pulled up and Roger got out, still shaking his head over how the bus got lost with the pups.
"Well Tuck!" he said in pleasant surprised, "what brings you by?" he asked, "uh, not that me and the pups..." he glanced at the mod about Tuck's feet, "...aren't happy to have you".
Anita also, as she got out of the car, laughed, "Something tells me Tuck might have come by half just to see the pups instead of all of us" she kidded.
-
"Uncle Roger. Aunt Anita"Tucker said happily carefully maneuvering over the group of puppies crowded in front of them and gave them both a hug.
"Well my parents didn't want me spending my whole summer cooped up in the house. So my parents gave me a choice it was either spend a couple weeks at Uncle Roger's place or get sent to Boot Camp. And there is no possible way I am ever going to Boot Camp so I chose to come here." Tucker said
-
"Well a very good thing to be better than Boot Camp I'd say" Roger laughed as he and Anita returned the hug.
Pitch frowned and made sure Pug was out of earshot, "Good thing Tucker's not a dog, or he'd have to deal with both" he whispered to the others pups.
-
"Truthfully I think he'd prefer boot camp. There is no possible way that Bark Brigade could get any worse except maybe if Mooch or Cruella taught it" Cadpig whispered back to Pitch.
"Yeah, Bark Brigade is worse then Boot Camp. Bark Brigade is like being a Prisoner at Guantanamo Bay" Ace said.
-
"Where?" Pitch asked, he knew it was probably one of those places on one of those history shows he'd never really paid attention to.
"So um, where'd the TV come from?' Roger asked with a laugh.
-
"Guantanamo Bay. It's a very very serious detention camp or Prison. I think it's in Cuba" Cadpig said.
"Yeah, Cadpig is right. I heard about it on the news" Ace said.
"Well I kinda had a feeling that if I were buying Lucky the Thunderbolt DVD'S I'd need to get another TV for the other pups. So they could watch TV Too. What can I say I just have a really soft spot for dogs. So I can't help but overspend and go overboard for these little guys" Tucker said.
-
Roger chuckled, "Yeah, I guess it just runs in the family, why do you think we took in 84 extra pups to begin with".
"Because Pongo and Perdita did first" Anita pointed out with a smile.
"Well...yeah" Roger admitted.
-
" I don't want to seem rude or anything.... really I don't but do you think we can talk inside? I am a little worn out from the trip out here and my arms are kinda sore from these bags" Tucker said who was now surrounded by puppies jumping at him yipping happily and licking his hands and face.
-
"Oh of course come along dear" Anita said, beginning to lead Tucker inside, "Roger you should be ashamed of yourself" she sent her husband a smile. Roger looked a bit confused as to how it was all his fault.
"I'll start getting what of the bags I can, and the TV" he said as Anita lead Tucker into the house, past scrambling following puppies.
"Allow us, Sir" a voice said and Roger turned to notice Horace and Jasper standing there dressed as TV repair men. "H&J...TV repair...and movers" Horace said.
"Yes" Jasper added, "We check up on the TV you got and move in new one's too".
"Really..." Roger looked a bit caught of guard and skeptical at their being there on perfect timing.
From where he followed Tucker in, Lucky turned, "Guys...look!" he said, "it's Horace and Jasper again" he frowned.
-
"Ummmmmmm that's quite Ok. The people who brought the TV said they'd hook it up and everything I all ready paid them to bring it over and hook it up so thanks anyways guys. " Tucker said probably as suspicious as Roger.
" I thought they smelled like them." Cadpig said Angrily barking at Horace and Jasper and barked at Roger and Tuck almost as if saying "Don't believe them" Cadpig angrily growled at Horace and Jasper.
"Now, Cadpig don't be mean." Tuck said picking up the small growling puppy. He knew there was something about these "Repair men" that Cadpig didn't like. And they sent a unpleasent vibe down Tuck's back as well.
-
"Oh uh...well..." Horace seemed lost as to what to do now.
Jasper frowned, "What my associate means to say is that we..." just then the official truck could be seen pulling up. "Oh...silly us wrong house" Jasper grinned, "come along Mr. H...we're probably due at that other house down the street".
"but I thought..." Horace began to argue, but Jasper pushed him along with a look that said they were trying a new approach now. "Oh alright" Horace let Jasper prode him to the truck and the two drove...well out of sight at least.
"Good" Lucky gave one last bark, "saves me having to bite them!".
-
"Boy,,,,,, We should all go inside after this I think Cruella would be so angry we'll hear her from here. I can just hear her now " Jasper , Horace, You dimwitted idiots. Must I do everything myself? " Ace said trying to do his impression of Cruella.
"And the sad thing is Ace is probably not that far off" Rolly said .
The 2 guys that delivered the TV stepped carefully over all the pups trying to maneaver around the pups without breaking the TV in the process.
-
"Yeah" Pitch laughed, " and I don't want to hear that yelling in my dreams tonight" he shuddered.
Meanwhile in their truck, Jasper and Horace didn't really want to hear the yelling either, but they got it over the walkie anyway.
(ooc: Hehe, couldn't resist!)
"Jasper , Horace, You dimwitted idiots. Must I do everything myself?!" Cruella yelled.
Jasper flinched, "M-Miss Devile, if you'd listen...we're not done yet, we're gonna sneak around back and...".
"You've got thirty minutes!" Cruella yelled back, interrupting him before hanging up.
"Well..." Horace said, "at least she was in a good mood"
(ooc: Hehe, yeah one of my favorite lines from the family reunion episode where she's yelling at Horace "Can't you do anything, must I do everything, do something you nothing!")
-
"We probably should keep an eye on Jasper and Horace though. Those morons work for Cruella . SO just like Cruella they will never give up at least not easily" Cadpig said following Ace and Rolly and Tuck inside.
-
"Yeah" Pitch agreed, "it's the only bad thing about this farm, it's gotta be right next to them" he sighed.
-
"Yeah, maybe if Tuck asks politely those guys that brought the TV could throw Cruella and Horace and Jasper in their truck and drive them to somewhere far away from the farm" Cadpig said.
Tuck put his bags down. Ace managed to get the fridge open and grabs a Gatorade out of the fridge and then closes the door with his left hind paw and brings it over to Tuck. "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Thanks Ace ." Tuck said taking the gatorade from him and patting him gently on the head and then scratches him gently behind his right ear.
-
"Yeah, I don't think they'll move humans, just furniture, but it's worth a shot" Pitch smiled.
"Ah movers for annoying people or animals" Lucky sighed, "they'd have to make alot of trips for me, let's see, I'd ship of Cruella, Horace, Jasper, Mooch, Pug...Swamp Rat, while we're at it..." the pup kept thinking
-
" What about Tripod? You know you guys have been in competition forever. And that crocodile who works with Swamp Rat. " Rolly said sitting down next to Tuck as he turns on the TV.
-
"Them too" Lucky grinned.
Pitch sighed, "Aw come on Lucky, if you shipped all them off I think your life would get pretty boring" he pointed out.
-
"Yeah I mean life would get boring without one mortal nemesis. " Ace said.
Cadpig sat down next to Rolly to watch TV next to Tuck.
-
"Yeah, I guess" Lucky admitted. "Ok, I'll keep a few around just to feel good when I beat them".
Pitch turned his attention to the TV as well, yet couldn't help his curiosity getting the better of him, "Which of the list?" he asked.
Lucky thought, "Probably Cruella" he said. Pitch wheeled about, "Cruella?!". Lucky shrugged, "Well I don't have to live with her on the same farm and...I know she wouldn't be able to hurt us now, plus Horace and Jasper wouldn't be enough of a challenge to be fun if I kept just them".
Pitch shook his head, "You're mind's a weird place Lucky..." he said.
-
"Are you Crazy Lucky? If I were you I'd deal with Tripod and Sewer rat. The both of them have never really been a physical threat to you. SR is just annoying and Tripod well, he's just jealous" Rolly said.
-
"Hey, hey, they're pick number two" Lucky admitted.
As he watched the TV, Pitch shook his head, "I still don't get how Cruella got out of jail so quickly".
"Good lawyers" Lucky answered.
~~~~
"So what are we going to do next?" Horace asked. "Simple" Jasper replied, "we sneak up and plant a recorder to get on tape evidence that they didn't pay for the TV...and if it isn't there we tweak the audio to make it there" he grinned, slowly stepping out of the truck.
"Oh, good plan" Horace leapt down.
-
Meanwhile Spot who was kinda hanging about over heard exactly what Horace and Jasper said.
She ran off as fast as her chicken legs could carry her.
"I have got to warn the others" Spot said flying through the open window panting for breath,
-
"Spot?!" Pitch turned in shock at the chicken's excited manner.
"What's got your feathers in a bunch now?" Lucky asked.
-
" Did the employees from Mcdonalds try to make you into Chicken Nuggets again" Cadpig said.
"Oh hardy, Har, Har, very funny Cadpig. It's Jasper and Horace. I overheard them saying they would use a tape recorder to catch Roger saying he didn't pay for the TV and if not they would do some editing. We need to find that recorder and get that tape" Spot said.
-
"But...why do they care if they paid for the TV?" Pitch wondered, "Cruella's plans are just starting to not make sense now".
"Regardless, it most definitely is her and we have to stop them!" Lucky said, "do you know where they are now, Spot?" he asked the chicken, to save tracking time.
-
"Well, somehow it's to take the farm and that's one thing we can be sure of. " Cadpig said.
" Yup! We need to warn the humans." Rolly said.
"No Rolly there's no time for that we need to do this ourselves." Ace said.
"Follow me guys there around the back ." Spot said.
-
With a nod, Lucky followed and lead the others of those following out.
"Y-you don't think we could get in trouble for this too do you..." Pitch had to wonder as he followed, "you know, being already grounded and all".
"Ok, we'll set it up here" Jasper said, crouching below the window and setting the tape recorder just outside the living room.
-
"Us get in trouble? No way! We're doing a noble deed we're saving Roger's farm and besides Pongo never said we couldn't leave the house. He said no Hiccup Hole. We're not going swimming. We're just making sure Cruella doesn't get away with this" Cadpig said following Spot around back.
-
"Yeah, I guess you're right" Lucky agreed. As they came around back, Horace and Jasper were still there crouched down and peering a bit through the window and also making sure the tape recorder was still running.
"You know, if they were ever charged for all the trespassing and spying they do, they'd probably spend their lives in jail" Pitch sighed in a whisper.
-
"Nah, Cruella has an answer for everything. Something tells me if that happened Cruella would find a way to get them out in a week" Cadpig whispered back to Pitch.
"Should we bite their butt? Just give me the word and I'll bite their butt." Rolly said.
Meanwhile Tuck was kinda suspicious.
"I wonder where those pups are off too" He said.
-
"Shh, Rolly, we wanna keep the element of surprise" Lucky said, gripping either of Rolly's shoulders to calm his brother down, "maybe you can bite them later...right now I have a feeling we should get that tape recorder...".
"Yeah, without it they got nothing" Pitch agreed.
-
"Oh right" Rolly whispered putting his paws over his mouth to avoid saying anything else.
"We need to devise a plan. What we need is exactly what we needed when we rescued you, Pitch, and Tibbs. ................................. a distraction. And then one of us can nab the tape recorder. "Cadpig said.
Rolly backed up as if saying"Oh no Cadpig I am not gonna be the distraction again".
-
Lucky and Pitch noticed Rolly backing up. "Aw but Rolly, you're just so good at being a distraction" Lucky grinned.
"I...I could try and do it" Pitch offered, "since last time you guys were saving me and Tibbs, it...would be a sort of payback" he smiled.
-
Rolly smiled. "Thank You Pitch. You're a good guy. " But, just then Tuck had come outside. He had followed the pups seeing what was up and when he saw the 2 "TV Repair men" around the back of the house Tuck got really suspicious. "Hey and just what do you think you guys are doing" ? Tuck said.
-
Horace and Jasper both jerked to attention at Tuck's call, Horace even stumbling back. Jasper quickly grabbed up the recoder and hid it. "W-who us...uh..." he tried to think quickly...
"Checking the windows and...they're good" he gave a rap to the window pane, before standing, "So...we'll just be going..." he grabbed Horace by the collar and began to drag him off.
Lucky barked and tried to dart around to grab the recorder.
-
Rolly smiled to himself this was the perfect time for his plan. He leaped up and bit Horace hard on the butt causing him to drop the recorder.
-
"Yow!" Horace jumped, dropping the recorder. It bumped along the ground. Horace and Jasper looked at it and then darted over to their van for a quick get away since the gig was up.
Pitch barked but the men made it to the truck.
Lucky smirked, "Something tells me they'll get yelled at again by Cruella, though" he said.
-
"Who cares? At least we got the recorder. Way to go Rolly." Cadpig said hugging her brother.
"Awwwwwwww shucks it was nothing Cadpig" ROlly said.
-
"Yeah, now we should show Tuck or Roger and Anita it" Pitch said.
"Not to mention mentioning it to mom and dad...just so they know we saved the farm and all" Lucky smiled.
-
"They would never believe us we're dogs. We have really got no proof cause this is a blank tape. Everyone will think we're making it up" Ace said.
-
Pitch frowned, "Oh...right...".
"Surely mom and dad would...and Tuck just saw those men acting weird" Lucky said, walking over to the boy and barking up at him as if to say 'didn't you?'.
"We need more evidence" Pitch sniffed to see if Horace and Jasper had left any other clues behind.
-
Tuck knew something was going on with these guys but he didn't know about Cruella or the Henchmen or how this was a plan to steal the farm. Tuck knew something was up he didn't know what though.
"What we need is Photographical evidence. In other words a picture. The next time they come back we need to get a picture of them doing them doing Cruella's work. Who knows maybe if we save the farm dad will forget about grounding us and just let it slide" Cadpig said.
-
Lucky sighed, realizing Tuck wasn't getting any of this.
"yeah, that's it photo-pathic evidence" Pitch said, mispronouncing the word, "Hmm, now where does Roger keep the camera?" he wondered.
-
"Maybe Tuck has a camera we could use." Cadpig said.
" Might I remind you guys that this doesn't sound like a good idea. We are stealing." Ace said.
"And yet that of course won't stop us from doing it" Rolly said.
Ace sighed sadly.
"I know" Ace said.
-
OOC: Care if I bring in more OC's? I have a kid of my own and his puppy, Matt, Horace and Jasper's own nephew and his Dalmatian pup, Clover, whom I guess he'll have to keep hidden pretty well ;)
Pitch thought, "but...if we somehow ask Tuck, then maybe it won't be stealing" he said hopefully.
"Yeah, this is Tuck we're talking about, he loves us" Lucky said.
-
OOC: Of course I don't mind.
"Yeah that would be great of course he'd let us borrow it but unfortunately unless someone has a translating machine which could translate what we're saying to Tuck he'd have no idea what we're saying cause all he'd hear is "Bark, Bark, Bark, Bark Bark"." Ace said.
"As much as I'd like to argue I agree with Ace. There's no way we can communicate with a human. Unless we communicate with him by another method aside from talking. " Cadpig said.
-
Lucky sighed, "You guys think so small, I think holding the camera with a pleading look and wagging tails would do it".
" 'long as he doesn't think we're just getting his camera messy" Pitch said.
~~~~
Meanwhile as they drove back, Horace and Jasper debated how to go about telling her of this particular failure. "If only we weren't always outsmarted by dogs..." Jasper sighed.
Cruella came over the walkie to them first, "Horace! Jasper! Get back here, there's a kid here who says he belongs to you and I'm not dealing with him! or his mutt" she yelled.
Horace and Jasper looked confused for a bit before Jasper frowned, "Oh no...".
"Our sister's kid, Matt" Horace groaned, "Wasn't mom watching him?".
"Apparently she got tired of that" Jasper didn't sound surprised. The problem was mainly with the Bad'un family and not Matt, who was an ok kid.
"Alright we're coming...".
Using that as an excuse to not say they'd been heading back already, Horace and Jasper still couldn't hid the fact that...they had nothing, not even a tape recorder anymore.
After a pretty blah kind of "Hey" greeting from his uncles, which Matt had to giggle at since he knew they were a bit disappointed to be watching him, the boy stood by the wall, with his Dalmatian puppy companion, Clover, hidden behind him legs given all she'd heard about this evil woman before her, and watched in pity as Miss Cruella Devil yelled at them.
"Nitwits, Nincompoops, Morons!" Cruella insulted, "how hard is taping someone from private?! Hmm?!".
"Surprisingly very hard" Horace said. Cruella shot him a look. "You don't understand" Horace went on, "there were puppies and kids...".
Cruella raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, yeah" Jasper went on, "apparently the Dearly's nephew is visiting too".
Cruella sighed, "And why would I find that interesting in the le-".
She paused and turned to where Matt stood, and the boy looked unsure.
"I think I have an idea" Cruella said. Matt frowned, he already had a feeling he wouldn't like this idea.
-
"Yeah wait..... Lucky my brother you are a genius . "Cadpig said hugging Lucky tightly close to her.
" Most of the time I get her but this is one of those times where I have to wonder what Lucky said that makes him a genius" Rolly said.
Cadpig brought over Tuck's knapsack and took his digital camera out and wagged her tail happily.
"What is it girl I don't understand. " Tuck said with a perplexed look on his face.
"You want me to take a picture of something"? Tuck said still not getting it.
Ace barked as if trying to tell him what the real reason was.
"Oh, man why did I have to stink so bad at Charades? You want to borrow my camera?" Tuck said
Cadpig barked happily as if saying "You got it"
"Well I guess you pups can use it if you want if you don't break it. Why a pup would need digital technology is beyond me But, you guys can borrow it I guess." Tuck said.
Tuck pat Cadpig on the head.
"Uncle Roger, Aunt Anita. I'm going to scope out the area. I'll be home for supper" Tuck said wanting to do a little exploring and maybe meet a kid around his own age.
-
"Alright, I was going to have dinner ready around 7" Anita called back, peeking her head from the kitchen.
Pitch laughed, "Yay, it worked! Lucky, I have to agree with Cadpig, you are a Genius!". Lucky just beamed, "I know".
"I...I don't get it Miss Cruella, Ma'am" Matt turned back to their Heiress helping out his uncles, so whom he figured he should be super nice to, even if she was confusing...like now.
"It's simple...just take your...adorable...doggie" Cruella's lip seemed to curl a bit in a frown as she looked at the...well it was suppose to be a Dalmatian she figured (of course!) but even Cruella was on her fashion idea again, this puppy was just plain hideous looking more like a brown mutt.
In truth, Clover was an Orange spotted Dalmatian, but Cruella didn't know or care enough about dogs to know this,
"...out for a walk, there's a farm with hundreds of little Dalmatian puppies also just down there, that way" she indicated, "and...well" she smiled as her plan came to her even as she spoke, "if you were to notice the lay out really well...I could make your little pooch happier"
She reached down with a fake smile and pet Clover awkwardly on the head. The puppy frowned, liking this even less than that odd weasel that had hissed at her as she and Matt came in...
"I hope I don't have to live around him" she said to herself.
Matt had to be honest, the plan sounded like snooping, but he decided that maybe he could come up with something to tell Miss Devil after his walk.
"Um, ok, I'm sure Clover needs a walk after the bus ride over here anyway" Matt said, walking out the front.
Cruella turned with an evil, happy grin after he left.
"I don't get it" Jasper said, "you're sending Matt to do what we just did".
"No I'm sending Matt to do what you failed at, and kids are so unnoticed anyway, almost expected to be wandering about exploring, he'll not even have to try! Probably a good thing if he's related to you morons" Cruella muttered walking past.
Matt skipped down to the end of the steps and glanced about, soon spotting something that did look more fun than just a dog walk. It was the bike Horace and Jasper had used to deliver a singing telegram that one time.
"Oh look Clover, it even has a basket!" Matt scooped up his puppy and rushed over to the bike, undoing and pocketing the leash and setting her in it before getting on the bike himself and peddling off.
"Don't worry, I'll still walk you a bit too" he promised as he started down the street towards this farm Miss Cruella had said was right next door almost.
Matt soon saw it and slowed down.
-
Tuck was just about to wander off the farm when he saw Matt. Tuck smiled this was his first time meeting a kid around his own age so close to the farm. He even saw he had a little dalmatian. This was a great opportunity for Tuck to make a new friend and since this kid had a dalmatian too. This was the perfect opportunity to make a new friend while the pup's all got to know this Dalmatian pup that this boy had.
Tuck walked over to the kid riding the bike. "Hey there kid. I have never seen you around here before. My name's Tuck. I live on that farm over there.....................................well, what I mean is My Uncle Roger and Aunt Anita live there. I just came to stay with them for a little while. So where you from? You got a name?" Tuck said with a friendly smile.
-
"So, how that we have the camera, what do we take pictures of first?" Pitch wondered, "Horace and Jasper are gone".
~~~~
Matt had just been sort of scouting the farm, curious about what Miss Devil had been talking about, when the other kid walked up and he forgot the plan completely. He smiled, "Oh hey, yeah I'm Matt" he said.
"I uh...." he pointed towards the Devil Manor but next frowned unsurely, "well, I don't live there or anything and I'm not even sure if I'll be staying there, hope not the place seems kinda creepy; but my two uncles, Horace and Jasper, work for Miss Devil up there and my grandmother got tired of watching me so I got sent for them to watch me and...so now I'm here, that's about all I know" he laughed a bit.
Clover sat up in the basket and after sniffing at Tuck's hands licked one of them, tail wagging as she decided she liked him.
Matt smiled, "Oh, and this is Clover" Matt introduced, "Yeah Miss Devil was just telling me how apparently you guys, or your aunt and uncle, have a lot of dalmatians on the farm".
-
Tuck pat Clover gently on the head. "Well, it's nice to meet you Matt. you're the first kid I ever met around here. Maybe we can hang out for a while Clover can get some exercise playing with the pups. " Tuck said . He had to wonder though why was Matt sent to the farm? He kinda had a bad feeling that this was a plan.
Cadpig however heard the whole thing that Matt said. "I think we should keep an eye on this kid you guys. He was sent here by Cruella and appearently he is Horace and Jasper's nephew so I'd keep a close eye on him.
"Hey look this kid even has a dalmatian pup we can play with" Ace said.
-
"Yeah...and that's usually bad despite first looks..." Pitch agreed with a frown recalling Ivy Devil!
Almost off that topic that Matt didn't know the pup had thought, he nodded as he got off the bike and let Clover down on the ground, "Yeah, apparently Miss Devil has a niece but she's not visiting right now". Matt had no idea how lucky he was of that too, since Ivy would have made his life a living nightmare!
"So...what should we do first?" Matt wondered.
As they came closer to both meet this new pup and keep an eye on Matt, Lucky frowned, "Strange Cruella let's a dalmatian stay with her...and that she seems ok".
"I don't think she got much of a choice" Pitch smiled. Then as they got closer he paused, a puppy love type crush suddenly hitting him as he saw Clover...and he suddenly worried she might not like him so he backed up a bit.
"Well hey there" Lucky said, "despite coming from the Devil place, it's nice to meet ya, I'm Lucky".
"Hi, I'm Clover" Clover returned, "and who, the scary lady? Yeah I don't like her" the pup agreed with a frown.
Pitch found his voice and forced himself to walk forward, "W-well...y-you shouldn't, she's kinda bad news...not to make you feel about about having to be there now...uh I'm Pitch" he changed the subject and hoped he hadn't scared their new friend.
Clover just smiled though and nodded, "Nice to meet you".
-
(I love your sig. What episode that from)
Cadpig smiled at Clover. At least her head was in the right place. "My name is Cadpig and these are my other brothers Ace and Rolly. And somewhere around here is Spot. She's a chicken" Cadpig said.
-
(Thanks *thinks* What episode was it...I just found it so I should recall, oh yeah, the one where Lucky tried to avoid a shot :) and I meant to say you're is awesome too...ok, same question :D)
Clover was a few seconds from asking how a Terrier like Ace could be their brother when she figured it out. Made sense from what she'd heard of it being a large litter around here.
"Nice to meet you all" she said, "and this is a pretty nice farm you've got" she said off what she could already see of it.
"Yeah" Pitch smiled, "we like it".
-
Tuck slung an arm around Matt's shoulder, "Why don't we just sit around and talk? What are you into Matt?" Tuck said.
"You haven't seen the best part Clover how about we give you a tour of the whole farm?" Cadpig said.
"Yeah, great place but, be happy you don't live here. Trust me you should be lucky you don't have to deal with Pug" Ace said.
-
"Sounds good" Matt shrugged, "Uh..." he tried to think of what he was in to don't say anything dumb, don't say anything dumb he told himself. "Well, like I said, haven't had a lot of neighbors so with all that time to myself I've sort of built on my comic book collection, here I'll show you" he slung his backpack he had with him off to pull out some of the selection of what he had...
"Ok" Clover agreed, "So...who's Pug?" she asked as they walked. Pitch grimaced, "Drill sergeant dog for the Bark Brigade which he's decided includes all us dalmatians on the farm".
-
"And that includes non dalmatians and chickens too. " Ace said making it clear Pug did not go easy on him or Spot.
"Really? Comic books huh? I love Comic books" Tuck said looking through Matt's collection.
-
(Yeah my avatar was my inspiration on that idea of Matt having comic books, hehe)
"Gosh" Clover said, "well remind me not to let him enroll me".
"Yeah" Matt said, "I've got everything from those serials they've been putting out to the older super-heros too" he said, finishing fishing out the stack.
-
"Yeah, I collect baseball cards actually . I have like 600 to 700 baseball cards in all. Hey, ya mind if I read a few of your comics?" Tuck said.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Hey do you like Thunderbolt? If ya do you're gonna fit right here with us. Lucky idolizes Thunderbolt. In fact not very long ago..... get this.... Lucky made us all get on top of each other and dress up as a human just to sneak into the TV studio to see Thunderbolt. " Cadpig said.
"And you are gonna love Hiccup Hole. That is when we're allowed to go back there again. We got grounded so we can't go to Hiccup Hole because of that experience" Ace said.
-
"Nah go ahead" Matt said, just glad to have found an actual friend, "Baseball cards huh, those are cool, yeah I don't follow the players enough to collect them but I know there's suppose to be good money in it if you keep them even when you grow up...course that doesn't matter right now" he admitted.
They said the same about comics but that wasn't why Matt collected them.
"Wow, really?" Clover sounded impressed that they had done that. "What else do you guys get into?".
"Oh just stick around" Lucky said, "but yeah, we got his autograph and everything...before being grounded".
"Neat" Clover said, "Yeah, I like Thunderbolt well enough, my pet Matt's got some of his comics".
Lucky looked interested, "Really?! I might have to look if he's got anything I don't later". Clover gave a small smile.
"Oh, not to steal or anything" Lucky assured, "just...look".
"Maybe we could see if our Mom and Dad would let us jshow you Hiccup Hole in being neighborly but not have fun there" Pitch thought out loud.
-
Pongo who was behind Pitch smiled. "I assume your punishment can be lifted for one day you pups go to Hiccup Hole and have fun" Pongo said.
" You wanna see my cards? Since you're letting me read your comics it's only fair . I got my whole collection in my bag so ya wanna look at them?" Tuck said.
-
Pitch wheeled around in surprise of Pongo just being there.
Lucky frowned just a bit, "Dad are you spying on us?" he asked, then decided to fix what he'd said, "Uh...not to get our un-punishment taken away" he smiled. Thankfully Pitch detracted attention from what he'd said.
"Uh incase it's not completely obvious" Pitch told Clover, "this is our dad Pongo, uh this is Clover, her pet Matt is Tuck's age and...hanging out with local family" he explained. He didn't say that family was Horace and Jasper upfront but also knew he hadn't lied so...it seemed good.
"How do you do Sir" Clover said politely.
~~~~
"Sure" Matt said taking a look at some of the cards Tuck handed him.
~~~~
"He's not back yet, 'cause I don't see him on the road" Jasper informed both Cruella and Horace.
"Of course not" Cruella said, "acting like a normal child to not arouse suspicion probably take some time" she answered even as she had her doubts. They'd find out at the end of the day though, and if the boy needed focus she could always call in her niece Ivy who was actually so scheming and focused it scared Cruella herself!
-
"Well aren't you well mannered Clover. It's very nice to meet you." Pongo said.
"And Lucky I'm not spying I just happen to be in the right place at the right time" He said.
"Just be careful with these please Matt. For most of these cards I love them more then life itself. When I was only 4 years old The first second I started watching baseball I started collecting these cards." Tuck said.
"Well since dad gave us permission follow us Clover we'll take you to Double H."Ace said.
"That stands for Hiccup Hole just in case you don't know" Rolly said.
-
Matt nodded, "Will do" he promised and made sure his hands were clean and everything before taking them.
He had to admit, he didn't catch a lot of it on TV but even he could tell Tuck had some good players in with his set.
Clover giggled as she followed the others, "Yeah, somehow that makes sense".
-
Tuck smiled over at Matt. Tuck letting Matt see his cards were a big step upo he really considered Matt an awesome friend. Even his friends back in New York if they even tried to touch his cards Tuck would give them a swift punch in the stomach. He almost trusted no one with these cards. But, Matt was different. Tuck picked up another comic.
"You a fan of swimming Clover?" Cadpig asked.
-
It wasn't lost on Matt how close of a friend he'd probably found, either, and he smiled back before one of the cards caught his eye, "Oh cool, you did not tell me you had this one! Wow the whole collections impressive really, lot's of birthday gifts or with your money?" he asked.
"Oh sure" Clover said, "I love it, well actually anything that's pretty much fun I'm up for, but not in a daredevil way".
Pitch laughed, "Lucky's the same only in a daredevil way" he said.
Lucky frowned, "Hey, when you have the luck I do I figure you should show it off".
-

"Oh sure" Clover said, "I love it, well actually anything that's pretty much fun I'm up for, but not in a daredevil way".
Pitch laughed, "Lucky's the same only in a daredevil way" he said.
Lucky frowned, "Hey, when you have the luck I do I figure you should show it off".
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. You see my father is actually the new owner of the New York Yankees. They're a baseball team. So as you could probably imagine I come from a very rich family. Most of these I bought with my own money. This guy's card is so rare you couldn't pay less then 600 bucks online for one of these.
I try to keep my lifestyle to myself for the most part because so many people I know were just using me to get free front row Yankee Tickets or to steal my money. I've had a lot of supposed "Friends" like that. " Tuck said.
"Cool! Then come on you'll love Hiccup Hole" Ace said.
-
Matt looked shocked, but not in the way that any of his friendship towards Tuck had changed with this news, just...well blown away as any kid would be to hear what he had.
"Really?" he let out a surprised kind of laugh, "Wow, that's beyond neat" he agreed, 'but don't worry I could care less about Yankee Tickets" he said, of course not completely meaning it but he was making a specific point; and it was true, Matt was so glad to have a friend that taking advantage of that was the last thing he wanted to do.
"Yeah" Lucky said, rushing ahead and closing the distance to Hiccup Hole, then almost keep up the dare devil reputation, he rushed up the nearby tree and leapt straight from the branch into the water.
Clover laughed, "I see what you mean" she told Pitch. The other puppy just smiled, "Yeah, that's Lucky" he said. With another giggle, Clover didn't waste any other time and dove in after Lucky, but from the shore.
-
Rolly: BELLY FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rolly yelled backing up with a wag of his tail.
"Uh oh this doesn't sound good at all everybody run for cover." Cadpig said running for cover expecting a huge splash that drenched every single pup and Spot. Rolly ran as fast as he could and dove into the water and just as Cadpig had expected there was a huge splash soaking Lucky, Cadpig, Clover, Ace , Pitch and Spot.
"Next time Rolly comes I'm bringing an umbrella." Spot says.
"Come on SPot the water feels great. " Rolly said. Spot looked unsurably at the water but before Spot could have second thought.
Ace picked up Spot on his back And backed up.
"Ace what are you......" Spot started.
"Hang on Spot" Ace said running as fast as he could and diving in to the water with SPot still on his back
"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH" Spot screamed as they both hit the water.
Tuck smiled. "Thanks Matt. I really owe you one. If you ever need anything . A laptop, a cell phone, a palm pilot, a Blu-ray player just name it and you got it. You know I feel kinda bad that when I go back to New York you won't be there. I could kinda need a friend like you in New York" Tuck said.
-
Pitch giggled after they were soaked, "I should have..." he spat water out, "...warned you about that" he told Clover.
She just laughed though, "Ah that's ok I was expecting to get wet".
As Ace and a wet, not happy looking Spot came up, Clover smiled at the chicken. "Aw Spot, I'm sure you'll take good to water" she assured the chicken "you are a bird after all, aren't you?" she hoped to encourage.
"Speaking birds, if you see an angry goose, tell me" Lucky said, swimming by, "Lucy can be kinda cranky".
"Yes but that's just 'cause we've gotta be nicer to her" Pitch pointed out. Lucky frowned.
(ooc: or maybe Lucy's a duck, I'm not quite sure...)
Matt laughed a bit, just trying to imagine owning any of those, "Well thanks, if I do figure out I need any of those, I'll let you know. Yeah the only thing tying me here is my uncles Horace and Jasper, but then...that's kinda a big thing, see they...aren't good at doing stuff so I think they kinda need me to keep an eye out for them, much as I think they think it's the other way around" Matt chuckled.
-
"Not all birds really like the water. I'm a chicken. Saying all birds love to swim is like saying all dog's love to swim. Some just can't. A perfect example, Eagles and Hawks. Both of them are birds but both of them can't really swim. Penguins, Geese, Ducks, are all excellent swimmers. Chickens on the other hand is a little bit different. But I do like the water." Spot said
"Yeah, I'm just tied here because I didn't wanna go to Boot Camp. And besides these little spotted guys always give me a reason to visit. I love these little guys to death" Tuck said.
-
"Oh ok, sorry" Clover nodded. Lucky sighed, "Geez Spot, tone down the brain power explaining there" he teased as he paddled past.
Pitch laughed, "Aw that's what makes Spot so lovable!" he said, diving down and popping back up again.
"Well you don't have to explain liking Dalmatians to me" Matt laughed, especially as one or two of the many pups came over to nose at him curiously. He pet them, "Truth be told it was all the moving around and lack of friends that made me getting Clover so great".
-
"Sorry, I have been spending way to much time with Cadpig" Spot said not realizing how much she had realized.
"Cadpig is like a god when it comes to brain power" Rolly explained to Clover. as he floated on his back.
"AHHHHH, the power of H20 always seems to bring a healthy aura through my body . A time where we can all kick back and relax." Cadpig said.
"And half the times she is so smart I don't know half the things she's saying." Ace said.
Fidget walked over to Matt curiously and sniffs at his hand and then he wags his little tail and tugs playfully at Matt's pant leg with a playful growl.
"It looks to me like Fidget takes a liking to you and wants to play" Tuck said with a laugh.
-
Clover smiled, "You've seen that Finding Your Inner Aura show, haven't you?" she asked Cadpig. She didn't really watch it herself, but she knew of it.
Matt laughed, "Seems so" he turned down to Fidget once more, "That true boy, you wanna play?" he asked. He saw a nearby stick and threw it.
-
Fidget barked happily getting up on his hind paws to lick Matt's hands. When he saw Matt pick up the stick he crouched down waiting for him to throw it. When Matt threw the Stick Fidget bounded after it barking happily.
"I watch that show like all the time . About as much as Lucky watches Thunderbolt" Cadpig said.
-
Matt smiled as Fidget rushed over to get the stick
"Yeah I heard your aunt and uncle had a lot of dogs on the farm but...didn't know it was this many" he said as he could even now see other pups rushing here and there.
"That's almost all the time" Pitch offered in explanation to Clover, she nodded. "Sounds better than when Matt was with his grandmother and all the TV had on it was old lady shows" she said, "but Matt and I would grab up an opportunity to watch cartoons too".
-
Matt smiled as Fidget rushed over to get the stick
"Yeah I heard your aunt and uncle had a lot of dogs on the farm but...didn't know it was this many" he said as he could even now see other pups rushing here and there.
"That's almost all the time" Pitch offered in explanation to Clover, she nodded. "Sounds better than when Matt was with his grandmother and all the TV had on it was old lady shows" she said, "but Matt and I would grab up an opportunity to watch cartoons too".
"Really cartoons huh? So you know the names of the cartoons you and Matt would watch?" Ace asked.
"Yeah, you always have to be careful around this farm it's almost like I can't take one step without either almost stepping on a puppy or me having to grab on to something when a group of puppies run through my legs.
Fidget meanwhile sniffed all around looking for the stick. He found it and brought the stick back to Matt with a wag of his tail.
-
(ooc: alright as I ponder the answer let's pull something from both major kid networks :D)
Clover laughed, "Oh yeah sure stuff like Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb and of course live action stuff like Thunderbolt, but oddly both our favorite Thunderbolt series is the older one's with Wholesome Tommy".
"Not that anything Thunderbolt does isn't awesome" Lucky said, floating by on his back, "but I Thunderbolt PI gotta be the best".
"I can imagine" Matt laughed, picking up the stick and throwing it again, "Something tells me with so many to look after they probably really like personal attention like this" he commented on how Fidget had seemed to grab up his personal attention for now.
-
But the minute Matt threw the stick ten other pups chased after the stick barking happily.
"So Much for Fidget's Personal attention huh"? Tuck said with a small laugh.
"Oh I love Spongebob I watch that all the time. I also like to watch a lot of 90's cartoons. Ever hear of Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers? I love that show so much that I'd often pretend I was a Ranger and make a game out of it" Ace said.
-
Matt laughed as the ten puppies all licked him, "I think I'm getting alot of attention though. "Ok..." he steadies the stick "...to whoever gets it first!" he called, flinging the stick away, "and no fighting" he added.
"Yeah I can see what you mean" Matt told Tuck, "Boot Camp and this farm have no comparison".
"Oh yeah" Clover grinned, "'course we have to catch it on the re-run like channels, but that's good too, also Rugrats" she giggled, "those kids are more like puppies than any humans I know".
"I still think that Spike character should have ripped the mean girl's cat to shreds" Lucky commented before taking another dive off the tree branch and into the water.
-
"Oh, yeah I forgot that cat's name I think it may have been some sissy cat name like "Fluffy" or something. But, Yeah I gotta agree with Lucky" Ace said.
"Yeah, uhhhhh me too." Rolly said.
(It's funny how you mentioned Rugrats cause Kathie Soucie plays Phil and Lil in Rug Rats but also played Rolly and Cadpig in the series)
The pups all chased after the stick hoping to be the first one to bring it back.
-
(Now that you mention it, yes I recognize her voice! Didn't know she played Rolly too though! Neat)
"I don't think they'd have let that happen though, on a kiddie show" Pitch said.
"Yeah" probably not Lucky admitted.
Clover giggled, "They don't want to give kids or puppies bad ideas" she said.
Matt laughed, "I definitely see the sibling rivalry" he commented, "not that I know about that, being an only child".
-
(Now that you mention it, yes I recognize her voice! Didn't know she played Rolly too though! Neat)
"I don't think they'd have let that happen though, on a kiddie show" Pitch said.
"Yeah" probably not Lucky admitted.
Clover giggled, "They don't want to give kids or puppies bad ideas" she said.
Matt laughed, "I definitely see the sibling rivalry" he commented, "not that I know about that, being an only child".
(I'm pretty sure of it. If you listen to Phil and listen to Rolly you could kinda tell. What I didn't know was she also plays Anita in the series. Kanga in most of the Winnie The Pooh movies and Phil and Lil's mother as well.)
"True, they don't wanna give pups and kids bad ideas" Ace said.
"You are lucky you are an only child I have 2 little brothers they are always hasseling me to wrestle with them or play with them. My 6 year old brother Kobe I was so angry at him this one time. He stole my autographed World Series ball. Those go for like 200,000 online. That ball was irreplaceable." Tuck said.
"I got it" Fidget said.
"No you don't Pip squeak" came a dark raspy voice.
"Mooch, do you always have to interfere in this"? Fidget whined.
And Mooch just laughed deeply and went back to Matt with the stick.
-
"Yeah, then the parents would yell" Lucky said.
"Gosh!" Matt said, "Did he lose it like over a fence?". He then noticed Mooch come back with the stick, "Oh so you've got a few none Dalmatians on the farm huh?" he said. He took the stick and halfway through preparing a throw again, got an idea.
"Ok don't think I'm mean" he whispered to Tuck before fake throwing and having the stick behind his back just to test if Mooch would fall for it.
-
"Yeah I had to climb over it just to get it back but unfortunately a huge mean dog lived there. Luckily I got it back."
Mooch ran off to find the stick without realizing that Matt was hiding it. The other Dalmatians howled with laughter.
"And Mooch calls us dumb"? Fidget said holding his ribs from laughing so hard.
"Oh no you aren't mean Mooch gives every one here a hard time. Yeah, we got non dalmatians too. In fact Ace is a Jack Russell and Spot is a chicken and I think they are both hanging out with the others and Clover.
"But, why does every cartoon have to have some evil guy or girl with a cat? There seems to be a lot of those." Ace said.
"Uhhhhhh because cats are evil?"Rolly said.
-
"Well that's good" Matt agreed, "that you got it back of course". He then smiled and showed the stick, "Ok, here, real throw" he said, tossing the stick to the group of dogs.
"Well, everyone put Tibs it seems" Pitch laughed.
"Plus girls with cats are less likely to send in angry letters than boys with dogs, so evil dogs...well it's just not do-able, look at Thunderbolt and Old Yeller and stuff" Lucky said.
"It does sound unfair" Clover admitted, "even that recent show Matt and I found has a boy but an evil cat from outer space, so same theme". (ooc: Kid vs. Kat)
-
"Thanks! It took me a lot of convincing to not have Kobe tag along too on this trip" Tuck said.
"Huh?" Mooch said not realizing that Matt hadn't thrown it yet. As soon as Matt throws the sticks the dalmatian pups all chase after it while Mooch just stands there confused.
"Oh, yeah. I think I saw that once while I was flipping through the channels it looks okay" Cadpig said.
-
Matt shook his head as Mooch still looked confused, "I can imagine" he told Tuck, "so what's he doing?".
"Yeah, 'course if we ever got cats from outer space I think Pug would just spaze out and not move" Pitch said.
"No, he'd still make us beat it up" Lucky answered before taking another jump from the branches.
-
"Tuck laughed. "It looks to me like he is just really confused . He thought you had thrown the stick all ready and I guess that really threw him off. "Tuck said with a smile.
Mooch took after all the other dalmatians as he finally shook it off. Fidget was ahead of all the other pups. Grabs the stick and almost falls over in an attempt to spin around really fast and bring the stick back to Matt.
" Yeah, we could have Mountain Lions on the farm and Pug would still make us beat them up" Ace said.
-
"If he's the one who hates the cats so much, why do you guys have to beat them up all the time?" Clover asked.
"Good question" Pitch said as he swam by, "and we don't know the answer to it".
Matt laughed at Fidget's enthusiasm, "Wow, he sure gets excited about fetch" he said, but then he guessed all dogs were like that.
-
"If he's the one who hates the cats so much, why do you guys have to beat them up all the time?" Clover asked.
"Good question" Pitch said as he swam by, "and we don't know the answer to it".
Matt laughed at Fidget's enthusiasm, "Wow, he sure gets excited about fetch" he said, but then he guessed all dogs were like that.
"Well mostly because he's superior. I mean he has connection with the bark brigade so I guess the only reason we do it is because he has authority." Cadpig said.
Tuck laughs at Fidget's enthusiasm as well and just then Fidget drops the stick at Matt's feet and then jumps into Matt's arms and starts licking his face and then he hops out of Matt's hands and crouches down waiting for Matt to throw the stick. Fidget could keep this up all day.
-
"Yeah, but thankfully Cornel has more authority" Lucky said, "and he likes us, so he can yell at Pug for being too mean...when he's there to see it that is".
Matt laughed as Fidget licked him and then picked up the stick again and threw it, "Whew, I'm thinking I'll tire before Fidget" he said.
-
"I think so too. I know Fidget and all these pups pretty well and trust me if it were up to them you would never stop throwing that dumb stick.You'd just be throwing that stick 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the rest of your life." Tuck said with a chuckle.
"Hey I've got an idea. Rolly do you still have that tape recorder"? Ace said with a somewhat evil grin.
"Uhhhhh yeah I think so but why do you ask" Rolly asked getting mighty suspicious of Ace. It looked like Ace had a little plan. And by the way Ace looked it could perhaps get them in even bigger trouble.
-
"Yeah" Matt replied, moving his shoulder that was getting a bit tired, "here, I'm giving you a go at it now" he smiled as he handed Tuck the stick, already feeling comfortable with his new friend enough to sort of tease/set him up like this.
Clover thought she had an idea what Ace's idea might be, but really hoped it wasn't that.
"Thinking of...recording someone?" she asked with a smile.
-
"Oh, yeah I've got an idea. Lucky gave me an idea. Cournal can yell at Pug only when he sees him being mean to us right? So if we taped Pug during Bark Brigade Cournal may be so angry at Pug he'd relieve him of being a teacher." Ace said.
"Gee thanks" Tuck said playfully with a sarcastic roll of his eyes as he threw the stick.
-
"Unless it just get's Pug so mad he'd...actually kill us or something" Pitch said worriedly.
"Aw I think Ace has a great idea this time!" Lucky said, "Yeah, all we have to do is trap Pug so to speak" he grinned.
Matt laughed at Tuck's less than enthusiastic response.
-
"Pitch now come on, Pug might be really angry and upset but do you honestly think he could kill us? If he gives us a hard time I could easily get a bunch of cats to chase him off" Ace said.
" I have to agree with Ace. Pug, kind of has it coming to him" Cadpig said.
Fidget returned with the stick and jumped up into Matt's lap to rest for a bit.
"Looks like Fidget is pooped for now" Tuck said.
-
"Well...yeah..." Pitch agreed, "I just...don't want us to get in more trouble on top of trouble".
"Ah we won't" Lucky assured.
"Yeah, kinda a surprising thing" Matt agreed. He scratched Fidget behind the ear a bit before letting him rest, "Say, the pups don't run off do they?" he wondered, "since I know Clover went off with some of them and...ah I guess I could always find her however far she roams" he admitted.
-
"Well don't worry about that. They do have a tendency to roam but they always come back sooner rather then later. I'm almost positive that Clover is just fine." Tuck said.
Fidget's hind leg went crazy as Matt scratched him behind his ear. This was one of his favorite places to be scratched.
" "We Won't get in trouble" Now, where have we heard that before? I believe Lucky said the same thing about us sneaking to the TV studio." Rolly said.
"But, this is different. We're not gonna get in trouble we're just giving good old Pug a taste of his own medicine" Ace said.
Cadpig noticed Clover was a bit quiet now. "So Clover you got any brothers or sisters"? She asked.
-
Matt nodded, reassured by Tuck's words since he would know the dogs around here, "Well that's good, and I should let her just go off and play with them since we don't encounter many dogs that aren't grown up and barking for us to keep off their territory", Matt admitted.
"Exactly" Lucky agreed with Ace's last statement. Pitch sighed and turned to Rolly, "Yeah, Lucky's reassurances are falling a bit flat at this point but...well...we can always hope for the best...again" he shrugged.
"Aw you two need to stop worrying so much!" Lucky said swimming by with a grin, "this is gonna be great!".
"Nah" Clover shook her head, "it's kinda odd, hearing about you guys with...well I never heard the number of how many of you their are...".
"99 altogether, so 98 siblings all in all" Pitch answered.
"Wow" Clover said, "Yeah I don't...think I have any siblings, truth be told I can't even remember either of my parents, just...well the first few memories I have are being in a box out in the street and then Matt finding me".
"Gosh!" Pitch said not sure how a puppy would end up in a box by themselves but it didn't sound good, at least his first few memories were just in the pet store he'd been in before Horace and Jasper stole him.
-
"Yeah me and my dog Chance have encountered that. He's a Labrador Retriever. He's only 3 months old . So he's still kinda small. I wanted to bring him with me. But, it was just to much of a trip for him. I've got a picture of him on my cell if ya wanna see it" Tuck said.
"Yeah, don't worry you guys. Last time was a mistake. A mistake that will never happen again. Last time we were thinking about ourselves. But, this time we are doing every single pup on the farm a favor. Trust me we'll be heroes." Ace said.
Ace heard Clover's story and sadly moved closer to her. He knew all about Clover's situation. "I am so sorry about that Clover. I have had more then my fair share of living in boxes and being carted off to the dog pound. But, the life I live ever since Roger has adopted me has been perfect. I may have had some bad living before but for the life I have now I'd do it all over again. You're doing pretty well for yourself now Clover, I don't know Matt very well but he seems like an awesome owner. At least now just like me you've got someone who loves you and cares so much about you" Ace said.
-
"Sure" Matt said, "and yeah I know what you mean, even this really big trip over from Grandma's to have my Uncle Horace and Jasper watch me I had to go through alot of trouble on buses and such since they have rules about dogs".
"I guess" Pitch nodded. "Yeah, even on mine and a lot of the other pups end, those of us from the pet shops and such, or bought off owners who didn't care before Horace and Jasper stole us I don't think we could be in a better spot than this farm".
"Yeah" Clover agreed with a nod, "and to tell you the truth the stories some of the dog's would tell coming over here didn't make me exactly feel good about having to be around Matt's uncles, but...I think they're ok so long as that Deville lady doesn't tell 'em to do stuff".
"Seem to be" Lucky said, truth be told he still almost all out hated the two Bad'Un brothers, but held his tongue for the sake of Clover's nice human she was just praising.
-
Tucker takes out his cell phone and hits a few buttons and after about a moment he found a picture of Chance with Kobe and him. "That's my one brother I was telling you about Kobe, that's Chance and of course that's me" Tuck said handing the phone over to Matt.
"Yeah, I guess they're ok" Cadpig said feeling the same as Lucky but not really wanting to get into it.
-
Matt smiled, "Somehow your brother just looks like he causes trouble at times" he couldn't help commenting before shrugging, "Sorry, but yeah Chance looks like a really nice pup there, labs are really good dogs from what I hear".
"I know" Clover laughed, "they're not gonna win any popularity contest anytime soon, but even if I'm sure you guys didn't think it, I can assure you Matt's nothing like them, his mom was the honest one of the family I guess and she passed it on".
"Well I definitely feel better that he wasn't sent here to spy" Pitch said, after what he'd heard of what Matt did; he then frowned as he realized what he'd said.
"Um...I mean...".
Clover didn't look offended though, just curious. "Spy? No...again the Cruella lady mentioned all you guys to him but I don't think..." she frowned, actually that did sound suspicious.
-
"Oh, Believe me Kobe is the prince of getting into trouble. How did you figure that out just by looking at his picture? Yeah, Labs are really great dogs they just require a lot of Maintenance." Tuck said.
Ace thought about this. Would Matt really be sent here to spy. He seemed way to nice of a guy.
"I really don't think Matt really has the heart to spy on us. He seems way to nice" Ace said.
-
Matt laughed, "I guess I can just recoqnize the look, same as we had big dogs in a lot of the neighborhoods I was moved to and from with my different family members we also had the typical little young kids than me who'd get into trouble, half of them meaning it. One even startled my grandmother to death by jumping out of a tree in our yard right as she was exiting the house! He was pretending to be Batman I think".
"Oh he wouldn't actually spy, no" Clover assured, "but I'm starting to think that's what Cruella meant...I should probably watch out for Matt around her".
"Make's sense" Lucky agreed, "I have no doubt that's what Cruella meant, just good for us Matt's not interested".
-
"Yeah, and thank god for Tuck. I think having him around hanging out with Matt gives Matt less opportunity. " Cadpig said.
"Heh Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh. That reminds me of what happened with Kobe one time I came outside to take out the garbage and that brave Kobe jumped out of the tree and tackled me to the ground"Tuck said.
-
"Yeah, little kids just seem to like trees for some reason" Matt agreed, "of course I guess I fell or jumped out of my share of them around Kindergarten too" he admitted.
"Yeah, and just having a friend like that I'm glad of for Matt" Clover said.
-
"Yeah, me too one time I broke my leg falling out of a tree in first grade. It took me a while to be able to walk again without a crutch and a cast "Tuck said.
Just then a new dalmatian that the others had never seen before came running up noticing Hiccup Hole and the other pups playing in it.
This pup looked out of breath.
" Ummmmmmm what's the deal with new Dalmatians finding their way over here"? Ace said.
"Excuse my brother what he means is "Hi, there my name's Ace who are you" And further more why are you here? Did Roger adopt another Dalmatian all ready?
"Wh..... Wh..... Who's Roger?" The pup said out of breath.
"Roger is our owner and that over there is Cadpig. And that's Lucky, Rolly, Clover and SPot. So do you have a name or do people just call you "Strange Dalmatian pup"?" Ace said.
" My name's Gunner. I'm a stray." The pup said.
"Which brings me to our next question Gunner why are you here? Where do you come from?" Cadpig said.
"Oh, sorry I come from Gruegely. I just escaped from the dog pound and need a place to hide for a bit." Gunner said.
"Grugely huh? We've been there hundreds of times" Rolly said.
-
"Yeah, been there with sprains, thankfully no breaks" Matt said with a wince.
"Well this would be the farm for it" Pitch commented, "There's 99 of us Dalmatian pups running around; I'm Pitch by the way, one of their other many brothers" he indicated the others to have introduced themselves, well Spot wasn't included in the sibling group, but Gunner got the idea.
"and I'm Clover" Clover introduced herself as well, "and...well I don't live here but my own pet, Matt, is staying with family around here".
-
"Pleased to meet you all. " Gunner said. He looked over curiously at Ace. "You don't live here with them do you"? Gunner asked.
Ace sorta just giggled. " Yeah, I do. Ya see before I came here I slept in a lot of Boxes and Pounds. And one day this nice human named Roger found me. I have been a part of the family ever since.
"So Gunner tell me something about your family." Cadpig said.
"Welllllllllllllllllllllllllll" Gunner started trying to stall for time.
"You do have a family don't you?" Rolly asked.
Gunner looked down kinda embarrassed.
"Not really" Gunner quietly said.
-
Clover moved over out of the water to pat Gunner's shoulder a bit, "That's ok, I didn't either before I met my human Matt".
"Yeah, and lots of us, like Ace, didn't either before we were taken in after being rescued from Cruella" Pitch added, "so you'll fit in perfect" he smiled reassuringly.
-
"Fit in where?........You're not suggesting that I live here with you guys are you? I'd be to scared and nervous. I never had a home before. The last thing I want is for myself to mess something up and get your human mad at all of you. I appreciate it but I just don't think I'm ready for that. And besides you guys have a lot of Dalmatians here I wouldn't want to be a burden."
"Nonsense you wouldn't be a burden. Roger hasn't gotten rid of any of us. Roger loves dalmatians. And even if Roger doesn't adopt you I'm sure somebody in Grugely will. "Cadpig started.
"Thank You but I just don't think......."Gunner started.
"Don't worry Gunner you're just scared being a normal house dog isn't hard at all. In fact it's easier then being a street dog. Gunner, you have gone through escaping dog pounds fighting off dog catchers, stealing food from dumpsters, and sleeping in cardboard boxes. If you could get through all of that being a house dog should be a snap." Cadpig said.
"And besides Roger all ready has 99 dalmatian puppies what's one more if Roger could adopt me then you should have no problem. I'm not even a dalmatian and just look at me now. I'm sure Roger will adopt you" Ace said.
"Yeah, we just need to bring your confidence up a bit" Cadpig said.
-
"Yeah you'll get use to being a house dog" Pitch said, "Uh if you choose to stay that is and you certainly are welcome" Pitch didn't want to pressure Gunner but also didn't want to sound like he was saying he couldn't stay.
"and plus if their owner took you in I'm sure the dog catcher, even if he did find you again, couldn't grab you up again, you'd be safe forever, which is also a good feeling" Clover added.
-
"Yeah you'll get use to being a house dog" Pitch said, "Uh if you choose to stay that is and you certainly are welcome" Pitch didn't want to pressure Gunner but also didn't want to sound like he was saying he couldn't stay.
"and plus if their owner took you in I'm sure the dog catcher, even if he did find you again, couldn't grab you up again, you'd be safe forever, which is also a good feeling" Clover added.
"Exactly, No pressure whatsoever! The real choice is up to you. If you really wanna be a street dog then that's your decision. But from what I heard you say you are just scared and nervous about it. And since most of us became house dogs after being alone for so long. I am sure we could help you get over it......... if you really wanted help. A lot of things that dogs and people can worry about or be scared about may not be as scary as they are making it out to be. But, as I said Gunner it's your decision." Cadpig said.
"I really , really, really, really, do wanna live with you guys. I am just new with it so I'm a little bit scared. But, I would really love to live here with you guys." Gunner said.
" Well, then that's good Gunner because we are not trying to make you do something uncomfortable. You just need to take some time to adjust to the life of a house pet. And you have all of us to help you with that" Rolly said.
"But, we can work on that with you a little later. For now this lake is pretty big why don't you jump in and splash around with us? " Ace said inviting Gunner to swim with them.
............................................................
Tuck smiled over at Matt. "Hey tonight you wanna ride bikes to Grugely and maybe catch a movie or something Matt ? Unless your Uncle's have a really really strict curfew or something. " Tuck said.
-
"Exactly" Pitch nodded.
~~~~
Matt smiled, "Sounds fun! Yeah, I don't know what my curfew is to be honest, I guess I could ride over and check if it's ok with them real quick and...well I'm sure Miss Deville wouldn't mind you coming along, since you're my new best friend and all" he grinned. He wasn't sure if he'd told Tuck yet that he viewed him like his best friend.
-
"Yeah that works"Tuck said gently picking up the sleeping Fidget who was on Matt's lap but made sure as not to wake him and set him gently on the ground. Tuck smiled happily as Matt called him his best friend. "You're my bestest friend too Matt" Tuck said.
"Yeah, we could teach you all about being a House dog but like Ace said you should swim around with us that is if you want too." Rolly said.
Gunner wagged his little tail and jumped into the water with a big splash.
-
Matt grinned at Tuck agreeing with rather than being put off by his calling him his best friend, "Ok, come on then" he went over to get the bike of his uncles he'd borrowed and figured since he'd offered, Tuck had a bike to use too.
Pitch laughed as he shielded himself from the splash, "See, you're already a natural at swimming in Hiccup Hole so everything else is bound to be a breeze" he reassured before starting to swim about again.
-
"I'll just use my skateboard, Hold on I know I packed it up somewhere." He said running into the House to get his skateboard and came out five minutes later with his skateboard and helmet.
Gunner swam around laughing.
"You'll do great you're gonna make a lot of friends here. " Ace said.
"Say, do you like Thunderbolt Gunner? You'd fit it extra well if ya do." Rolly said.
Gunner stops swimming and looks at Rolly perplexed.
"Who or what is Thunderbolt"? Gunner said confused
Rolly Ace, and Cadpig all gasp in surprise.
-
"Cool, gotta admit I never learned to skateboard" Matt said as they headed off towards the Deville place that Horace and Jasper were currently at.
Pitch immediately glanced back at Lucky and found what he'd expected, a completely shocked look!
"You don't know who..." Lucky shook his head and swam foward with a grin, "Boy have we got to educate you! Thuderbolt is quite possibly the greatest TV show and dog actor out there in television today!".
"Even if there are very few dog actors in television today" Pitch commented. Lucky frowned at him, "Will you please". Pitch smiled.
-
"Well luckily for you Gunner you came to the right pups at the right time. Lucky over here just got a whole set of Thunderbolt DVD'S. And I think I speak for everyone when I say we gotta take you to the barn right now and show you the show. Trust me you are gonna think it's awesome". Ace said.
"I could teach you how to skate board if ya want. I am no Tony Hawk but I could teach you how to skate if ya wanna learn." Tuck said.
-
"Yeah" Lucky said, loving the idea the moment he heard it and wondering why he hadn't thought of it. "Come on!" he darted from the water.
Pitch and Clover giggled as they got out and shook of as well.
"Uh...sure, I guess" Matt said, "I mean it does sound cool to learn it's just...knowing me I'll probably fall a bazillion times before I get it" he grimaced.
-
"Don't worry about that Matt.We'll start off really slow to prevent that from happening." Tuck said.
Ace shook off and followed the others but making sure to go slow so Gunner didn't get lost.
Spot and Rolly followed the others.
"Come on Gunner. This is gonna be fun. You're gonna love it" Cadpig said taking Gunner by the paw and following the others.
-
Matt smiled back, trusting Tuck and...partly for the sake of not looking like a whimp, nodded, "Ok then, whenever you feel like starting up the lessons" he said as they reached the Deville manor.
"Uh, Miss Deville said I could just come in, so..come on, it's fine" he indicated, yet found as he opened the door that he wouldn't have to go find his uncles or Cruella, they were by the door as if they'd been pacing.
"See, told ya, there he is!" Horace said, "he wouldn't waste time or...". Cruella shot him a look that shut him up, seeing the other kid with Matt and unsure of where he fit in but she'd recalled Rumpus had a nephew and this was probably him, so best not give away any plans.
Despite looking confused, and figuring Miss Deville must just be one of those eccentric geniuses, Matt continued, "Um...Uncle Horace, Jasper, can I stay out later tonight to see a movie in Grutley with Tuck here" he indicated his friend.
Horace and Jasper glanced to each other, they hadn't run a plan for this one...
Cruella smiled though, "Well I'm not going to tell you boys what to do with your own nephew, but I think that sounds fine" said, misunderstanding Matt's motives and thinking this was just to get in closer to 'the source'.
This was enough of an answer for Horace and Jasper though, "Sure" they answered.
Matt smiled, "Aw gee thanks, you two are the best!" he said.
"Yeah, apparently they have every Thunderbolt ever made!" Clover said.
"No, we're working on having them all" Lucky said with a grin back as they made their way to the barn.
-
Tuck smiled seeing as how Trusted him. "Well it's a good thing you can trust me Matt. After all Trust is a huge part of friendship. You're my bestest best friend ever Matt and you have got to believe that I won't let you down. I taught my little brothers how to skate board and they have got to be one of the uncoordinated clumsiest people I have ever known in my life. If I can teach them, I can teach you easy."Tuck said.
"Well that sounds great wait you guys live in a barn?" Gunner said.
"Well it might seem a little bit weird but trust me living here is a lot of fun" Ace said.
-
Matt laughed, "Ok, I do trust you, but you might go back on that once you see just how bad at staying up on stuff I am, me riding that is a miracle actually" he pointed to the bike as they left.
"Yeah...and the house is too small" Pitch said.
Clover giggled, "Hey, I've lived in closets and everything else in moving around with Matt, so I'm not one to comment" she said.
-
"The House is to small? What are you talking about? Your house can't comfortably hold five 5 Dalmatians a Terrier and a chicken?" Gunner said.
"2 things Gunner one Pitch doesn't live with us she's a new friend we met. And we come from a slightly bigger family then 4 Dalmatians a terrier and a chicken" Ace said.
"About how much bigger?" Gunner said.
"We didn't tell you yet we come from a family of 101 Dalmatians." Cadpig said.
"Shut up"! Gunner said not believing this for one second.
"It's true we have 94 brothers and sisters they are around here somewhere" Rolly said.
Tuck laughed. "Well I think all you need is a good teacher............ and that would be me. ANd I will never give up on you Matt. I'm your best friend so that means I'm never gonna give up unless you want me too" Tuck said.
-
"Well lucky for you, I'm no quiter" Matt smiled.
"Yeah" Pitch laughed, "Sorry, we thought we told you".
"and my pet, Matt, is just visiting with them, so that's why I'm here" Clover said, "and...I don't have any siblings so they've got be beat there" she smiled.
-
Tuck slung an arm around Matt. "That's what I love to hear buddy. Your lessons begin tomorrow. So ya ever been to Grugely before"? Tuck said.
"Well I'd love to meet them. "Gunner said.
"If you're gonna be living with us all we have to warn you about 4 very bad people.
Mooch he's a dog that normally gives us a hard time. But, he's just a very stereotypical bully . He is all bark and no bite. And then there's Lieutenant Pug he's really mean especially to his Bark Brigade cadets. All the pups on this farm get hasseled by him. Then there's Swamp Rat. You don't wanna be making deals with him. He would expect pay back in painful ways you don't even wanna know. And last but not least Cruella Deville. She is a scheming witch across the street. Long story short, she's just not someone you wanna mess with. Other then that welcome to the farm. Just stick around us we'll teach you every thing you need to know about being a Dalmatian here." Cadpig said.
"Wow, that's a whole lot to remember" Gunner said.
-
"Nu uh" Matt shook his head, "I mean I've visted here a few times before since my uncles are here and all but that was with other relatives and never long enough to go into town".
"But don't worry, since Matt's uncles are hanging around that Deville lady all the time I can sort of set up a spy post and tell you guys if she's gonna try anything" Clover said.
"Speaking of which, if you ever see a weasel hanging around, that is Scorch, Cruella's pet weasel and he is up to trouble" Lucky added.
-
"Nu uh" Matt shook his head, "I mean I've visted here a few times before since my uncles are here and all but that was with other relatives and never long enough to go into town".
"But don't worry, since Matt's uncles are hanging around that Deville lady all the time I can sort of set up a spy post and tell you guys if she's gonna try anything" Clover said.
"Speaking of which, if you ever see a weasel hanging around, that is Scorch, Cruella's pet weasel and he is up to trouble" Lucky added.
"Oh, yeah I would certainly like to pop that weasel" Rolly said making a little pun.
"Yeah, that would be great Clover a little spy post can work perfectly" Cadpig said.
"Wow you guys sure have a lot of enemies and humans/things to watch out for. " Gunner said.
"Well, then you need a proper tour. I've been to Grugely quite a few times. It's really a great place with lots of stuff to do follow me. "Tuck said getting on his skateboard.
-
"It's mostly their fault, really, I don't know how we make so many enemies" Pitch said with a shrug.
"Ok" Matt biked off after the direction Tuck took, glancing over at the new stuff they passed.
-
"Yeah, to heck with them. It's obviously their fault. I've known you pups for like five minutes and I think you all are awesome. Who cares what they think? They are probably all just jealous anyway" Gunner said.
"Finally someone else who gets it" Rolly said.
"So anyway, Gunner this is our farm. You can make yourself a little hay stack or whatever to sleep on. That is if Roger let's you live here.....................which he will. But, sit back and relax while we show you the pure awesomeness that is Thunderbolt."
Ace said picking up a DVD in his mouth.
Tuck made sure that Matt was keeping up. "We could get a pizza and catch a movie. Trust me there's this one pizza place that is hands down the best pizza I have ever eaten."Tuck said.
-
"Well you're the expert, lead on" Matt smiled.
"Yeah, oh and if Lucky spaces out and doesn't answer questions during Thunderbolt, that's normal" Pitch said with a smile.
"Really?" Clover giggled, "even I don't like TV that much".
-
"Lucky doesn't do that with TV in general. Lucky doesn't really watch that much TV. He just gets that way over one show and one show alone..............................................................................Thunderbolt" Cadpig said.
"Well this Thunderbolt character sounds amazing"Gunner said.
"Oh, trust me he is " Rolly said.
"And then later you can meet Pongo and Perdita there our parents. If you can convince our parents to let you live with us it might make our chances better at our humans agreeing" Ace said.
"Okay then, the Pizza Pavillion it is. Trust me you'll love this place." Tuck said leading the way.
-
"Yeah, amazing enough to get us out of trouble even when we met him" Pitch said, "Or try his best...".
Lucky turned about to add something to that, when the actual movie part of the DVD started and he turned back to the TV.
-
"And let the fanboyness of Lucky start" She said with a little sigh. "Come on Gunner sit next to me since this is your first time seeing thunder bolt you get one of the best views in the barn" Ace said.
-
"Especially since if any of the others rush in you'll want to be able to see the TV" Pitch added with a smile as he also made a spot for Clover next to him too.
"Sounds like there'd be a lot of arguments over what to watch with Ninety something other brothers and sisters" Clover said.
"Nah, I mean sometimes but everyone sort of agrees on Thunderbolt" Pitch answered lowly so as not to disturb Lucky or the others viewing.
-
"But, I don't see any other pups." Gunner said.
"Wait for it..... in 3....................2..................................................1." Ace said and just then All the other pups raced in when they saw Thunderbolt was on.
-
Pitch chuckled, "See".
As they continued on to the pizzeria, Matt soon thought he spotted it up ahead. "Wow, is that it?" he asked Tuck, "it looks really cool".
-
"I can see how the barn would get a little bit crowded. " Gunner said with a grunt as Fidget tries to squeeze in between him Lucky and Gunner.
"Yup " Tuck said as he opened the door. "Since this is your first time here it's my treat" Tuck said.
-
All told, Pitch sort of liked having so many brothers and sisters after being alone in a pet shop, so with a good natured giggle, he moved over to make room as Fidget and the other pups all found positions.
"Oh, this is the best part!" Lucky didn't even seem to notice the extra crowding and got up to put his paws on the TV again.
"Lucky..." Pitch whispered, getting his brother's attention enough for him to get back down to where he wasn't blocking the view.
"Thanks Tuck, you really are a great friend" Matt said.
-
Gunner tried to look around Lucky when he put his paws on the TV. But then smiled as Pitch got Lucky to sit back down.
Fidget smiled over at Pitch thanking him for moving over slightly.
Tuck waved his arm dismissively as Matt called him a great friend."It's no problem at all Matt. After all you're a really great friend too." Tuck said.
-
"Well, and who do we have here" a voice, that very much so knew the answer, said as the manager of the Pizzeria came around the counter to greet the boys, "Nice to see your back in town, Tuck" he greeted the boy he knew to be one of Grutley's newer residents, Roger and Anita's, nephew.
-
"Hey, Luigi" Tuck said happily to see him again. "Oh by the way this is Matt. I just met him not to long ago he's here visiting his relatives too." Tuck said.
Gunner watched with excitement as he watched Thunderbolt.
"So Gunner how do do you like..................?"Cadpig started.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Gunner said keeping his eyes focused excitedly on the TV.
"If this keeps up Gunner will be more of a fan boy then Lucky." Rolly said.
-
Matt smiled a bit nervously. He knew around town his uncles just mainly caused trouble, or from the bit he'd heard they did, "Um, yeah, Horace and Jasper Baddun are my uncles" he nonetheless explained.
Luigi just laughed though, "Well then good to see their family's got one good point to it it seems...all the same steer clear of that Ivy Deville..." he grimaced, having met the kid.
Matt laughed, "Will do".
"Come on you two" Luigi grinned, "I'll set you up a the table Tuck always uses with the special of the house, Pepperoni of course".
Pitch laughed, "I think that's a yes...and we now have two Thunderbolt zone-outs" he said.
-
Tuck followed Luigi to his table. "Thanks Luigi" Tuck said.
-
"No problem, I'll be right back boys" Luigi said.
"Wow, anyone in town you don't know" Matt kidded with a smile over at Tuck.
-
"Well there must be some people but I am pretty well known around this area." Tucker said just then about 20 people walk in and all say "Hi Tuck"
"See, what I mean"? Tuck said.
Gunner still watched with anticipation he could see what Lucky would find in a show like this. This was his kind of show.
-
Matt just smiled, with a slight shake of his head, "Well then I'm glad of all the people you know I get to be your best friend" he said.
Just then Luigi came back with the pizza, and Matt had been expecting one slice each, but this was a whole pizza! Seeing his look, Luigi laughed, "Aw I'm sure you boys can split and take it home" he said before leaving.
"If we do it'll probably be safer at your house" Matt said, "any type of food doesn't last long around my uncles".
"Ooh, this is the best part!" Lucky told Gunner, "see, now Thunderbolt's gonna teach the bad guys a lesson!".
-
Matt just smiled, with a slight shake of his head, "Well then I'm glad of all the people you know I get to be your best friend" he said.
Just then Luigi came back with the pizza, and Matt had been expecting one slice each, but this was a whole pizza! Seeing his look, Luigi laughed, "Aw I'm sure you boys can split and take it home" he said before leaving.
"If we do it'll probably be safer at your house" Matt said, "any type of food doesn't last long around my uncles".
"Ooh, this is the best part!" Lucky told Gunner, "see, now Thunderbolt's gonna teach the bad guys a lesson!".
"Well it probably will last just as long at my house. Have you seen the way Rolly eats? But, I guess stopping Rolly from eating the pizza is much easier unless he learns how to open the fridge then this pizza is gone in five seconds flat" Tuck said.
Gunner moved closer to Lucky to watch his eyes fixated on the screen.
-
"Well then I guess it's good dogs can't open fridge doors" Matt agreed.
Lucky just continued staring, not blinking all through the exciting chase and catch scene as Thunderbolt, in another boating adventure, whirled around the villain's boat and knocked them into the water.
"Kinda odd none of the humans in this find it odd a dog is driving" Pitch commented, "they wouldn't let us do that here...even if some of us have stolen buses...".
-
Gunner turned around as he heard part of Pitch's last statement. "Stole a bus? Are you kidding?" Gunner said.
"Oh that's right we haven't told you have we? Yesterday Rolly put this idea in Lucky's head that we should go see Thunderbolt. So we stole the bus that you see in the driveway right now and to the TV studio. And we met Thunderbolt there. Really nice guy. Really kinda down to earth. He didn't let fame go to his head or nothing like that. We even got our pictures taken with him." Ace said!
"No way!" Gunner said not believing a word.
"I thought you might say that but it's true look." Cadpig said taking one of the pictures that they had taken with Thunderbolt and showed it over to Gunner.
"WOW!!!! I can't believe I'd miss something like that I wish I could have been there with you guys. It would of been nice to get a picture taken with Thunderbolt" Gunner said.
You're tellin me if Rolly knew how to open the fridge Uncle Roger and Aunt Anita would have to go to the grocery store to pick up more food every 2 minutes." Tuck said.
-
"Well just stick around, Gunner, we're always doing stuff like that off Lucky's bad ideas" Pitch said, "and after we're doing being grounded I'm sure Lucky will think up something else for us to do".
"Hasn't it occurred to you guys to behave..." Clover asked.
"Well, we do try...but...it's hard sometimes" Pitch said.
-
"Yeah, Lucky is always thinking of ideas. You should meet our parents and our owners after this. I'm sure they'll love you and adopt you" Cadpig said to Gunner.
-
"Wow, so I guess he doesn't get sick from all that human food then huh?" Matt asked.
~~~~
"Yeah, I'd be surprised if they didn't" Pitch added.
-
"Wow, so I guess he doesn't get sick from all that human food then huh?" Matt asked.
~~~~
"Yeah, I'd be surprised if they didn't" Pitch added.
" Nope not that I know of. I love the pup but, he's a k-9 Garbage Disposal" Tuck said.
"Ya guys really think so?" Gunner said.
"Well yeah, I mean you're a really nice guy I'm sure our parents will see that." Ace said.
"Yeah, the only thing you have to worry about is Bark Brigade" Cadpig said.
"What's Bark Brigade?" Gunner asked.
-
"Sounds like it could be good on some levels" Matt laughed as they finished up what of the pizza two young boys could eat.
"Worst thing ever created" was Pitch's first response. "Uh but more specifically, training that the pug around here, who goes by Pug, has us do. He kinda yells alot".
"Ah Pug's no biggie once ya get use to him and how to handle him" Lucky said.
-
"Oh that's gonna be hard. I have no idea how to deal with this Pug you speak of." Gunner said.
"Well not yet but luckily for you we do. " Ace said.
"You know any cats Gunner? This Pug is absoloutely terrified of cats. He'd think it was another "Cat invasion" "Cadpig said.
"Yeah, it's good on some levels"Tuck said.
-
"Yeah, Pug even has to deal with Sergent Tibbs, a cat, being higher in rank than him" Pitch laughed.
-
"Hey I do know this one stray cat we're best buddies. He's from Grugely too." Gunner said.
-
"Sounds perfect!" Pitch said. "Yeah, then you should be able to handle this Pug with no trouble at all" Clover added, she hadn't had a lot to say agreeing about the farm since she didn't live there.
-
"Don't worry guys. I just need to get the word out and tell him what's going on and not only will he leave me alone. He's gonna leave me and Lucky, and Pitch,and Cadpig, and Rolly, and Spot and Ace alone too. Any friend of mine is friend of his"Gunner said.
"Well, this kitty sounds like he could really help us become one with ourselves in a positive way. But how do we reach this cat"? Cadpig asked.
"You leave that up to me. Wherever I go he isn't to far behind. Just then a little black and white kitten walked into the barn.
"Uhhhhh Hey Gunner thought you'd be here" The kitten stuttered nervously seeing all these dogs around.
"Guys, this is Calico . . Calico, this is Ace, Cadpig, Lucky, Rolly and Pitch and Spot oh and Clover. "
Calico hid behind Gunner.
"UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Hi! " Calico said nervously.
-
"Hi Calico, nice to meet you" Clover smiled, trying to not startle the kitten.
"Yeah" Pitch added.
"'specially since Gunner says you can help us out...not that it wouldn't be nice to meet a nice cat anyway" Lucky added, "but that's a bonus".
Pitch sighed, "Lucky, don't talk about using him to do something right off meeting him".
-
Calico peeked his little head out from behind Gunner when he realized these pups were really nice.
"Yeah it's nice to meet you guys too" Calico said with a smile.
"Yeah, Lucky you just met him don't start using him all ready" Cadpig said.
"No, it's okay. I love to help out. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to ask" Calico said.
-
"Well we just have this pug dog around the farm, Pug, who sort of like a drill sergeant and always bullying us but he hates cats, so we were thinking having a cat around might help us in him going easier on us" Pitch told Calico, "that's what Lucky meant by helping us out".
-
"Hmmmmmm I think I could help you guys out maybe if you sweeten the deal" Calico said.
"Now, Calico don't do this......" Gunner said.
"Relax, I am just trying to haggle a little bit " Calico said.
"What do you mean "Sweeten the deal"? Ace asked.
"In other words what will you guys give me if I help you out" Calico said.
"Well....................... you're a stray right"? Cadpig said.
"Keep talking" Calico said interested.
"If you can do this for us we'll let you live with us and Gunner I guess . What do you think guys?" Cadpig said.
"Calico seems really nice I'm all for it" Ace said.
"Yeah" Rolly said with a smile.
"Hmmmmmmmm interesting proposition If that's the deal then count me in. Do we have a deal?" Calico said.
-
"You kidding, I'd almost welcome a permanent cat to keep Pug at bay" Lucky said.
"Yeah, this is a big farm, we always have room for more, even with as many as we have" Pitch laughed.
-
"Great then we've got a deal Lucky" Calico said shaking his paw.
-
"Sounds like it could be good on some levels" Matt laughed as they finished up what of the pizza two young boys could eat.
"Yeah, it's good on some levels"Tuck said.
(Bump :D)
Lucky grinned, "You may be my favorite cat in the world above Tibs now, Calico" the pup grinned.
Pitch sighed.
~~~~
Cruella kept pacing, "How long does it take to buddy up and get information!" she complained, "oh your nephew's about as effective as you two!" she shouted to Horace and Jasper.
"Gee thanks ma'am" Horace smiled, not getting he was insulted.
~~~~
"I mean, at least you don't have to worry about vet bills" Matt smiled. They boys had finished what they could eat of the pizza, "So what do you wanna do now?" Matt asked Tuck.
-
"Awww, Shucks it's nothing Lucky but who is this Tibbz you speak of"? Calico said.
"Well if you want we could go see a movie. I'll even let you choose the movie" Tuck said.
-
"Oh Sergent Tibbs helps out the Cornel all the time" Lucky answered, "He's a grown cat...uh tabby or something, I'm not sure of the breed to be honest" he shrugged.
"We should probably introduced you" Pitch realized, "espically since if Tibs knows about you Pug can't complain about you as much if Tibs already thinks your nice".
Lucky laughed, "Pitch I think I'm rubbing off on you" he said, giving the other pup a playful nuggie, "that's a brilliant idea".
Clover giggled, "Well I don't think he meant it that way" she said.
(ooc: I keep messing with my characters! but by the way, since I've been struggling with Matt being able to keep a dalmatian pup out of all the trouble with Horace and Jasper, let's say Clover's a black lab. She's got a tongue birth mark that looks like a clover is where her name comes from)
"Sounds like a plan!" Matt said, "Um...let's see exactly what was out..." he tried to remember any good sounding movies.
-
"Well as long as this "Tibs" isn't some ferocious rottweiler or or something I say yes" Calico said.
Cadpig moves closer to Clover.
"Uh oh, Pitch gave Lucky an idea why do I have a bad feeling about this" Cadpig said.
-
"No..." Lucky laughed, "nothing like that, Tibs couldn't beat up a tied piglet, he's harmless".
Clover laughed, "Because even in the time I've been here, I've seen what Lucky and bad idea's equals" she answered Cadpig, then frowned as she noticed someone enter the barn.
Said orange tabby, Tibs, walked over to Lucky who was laughing on the floor of the barn, "What was that?" he asked the pup.
Lucky stopped laughing and zipped behind Calico, "Lieutenant Tibs...uh...meet Calico, he's new to the barn...or will be when we introduce him to mom and dad" he smiled.
Tibb's smile to Lucky was mainly amused, not too insulted, yet he then turned to Calico, "Well nice to meet a fellow cat" he nodded.
-
"Yeah, nice to know everyone here isn't a dog. " Calico said He turned back to the dalmatians "No offense to you guys. You are all really, really, awesome. Just nice to know I'm not the little fish in a big pond if ya know what I mean" Calico said.
-
"Don't worry, we know what you mean" Pitch said.
"We were just talking about how you two would probably like being friends" Lucky said, telling part of the truth.
"I think there's another movie out about superhero's we could see that if you want" Matt suggested. "The only other movies I can think of are those Vampire and Princess movies all the girls are going nuts over" he rolled his eyes.
-
"The superhero movie sounds good to me let's go man" Tuck said.
"Well , gee thanks guys. You guys are the best" Calico said with a smile.
-
"Ok, but since you're being nice enough to let me choose then I'll pay for snacks" Matt said.
"Don't mention it Calico" Pitch smiled, "hey maybe we should show you around the farm, I don't think even Clover's seen all of it yet" he said.
"Well that's 'cause there's a lot of farm to see" Lucky commented.
-
"Well then I'm paying for the tickets. I won't take no for an answer."Tuck said.
"Yeah, and I could show you where Nanny hides the most delicious food" Rolly said licking his lips.
"Nanny lives with us she's really nice. " Cadpig said.
"You guys think we shoul;d warn Calico about Cruella. Remember what almost happened to Tibbs"? Ace said.
-
"Ok, then I won't try to say no" Matt said.
"Rolly knows where all the food's kept around here" Pitch added. Clover giggled.
"Oh, that's right!" Lucky said, "Cruella lives just up on the top of the hill in Deville Manor" he told Calico, "and she tried to make coats out of all of us, but with Tibbs she gave into the animal rights pressures and was just gonna shave him, still keep away from her and her weasel Scorch" Lucky said.
-
"Skinned? But, I don't wanna be skinned"Calico cried fearfully and hid behind Gunner.
"Don't worry Calico we're all family here and we're not gonna let Cruella skin you right guys?" Gunner said.
-
"Absolutely not! She's not getting near ya as long as we can help it!" Lucky said.
"Yeah" Pitch went around and pat Calico on the back, "Don't worry Calico, you're safe with us".
"Not to mention the Cornel and I have this farm pretty regularly patrolled" Tibs told the kitten.
-
Cadpig hugged Calico gently. "Don't worry Calico if we have anything to say about Cruella won't touch one hair on your head. And besides our owners wouldn't stand for it. Our owners are 2 of the nicest pet owners ever and they would never dream of letting Cruella skin her. And if she even comes close we'll you rescue you just like we rescued Tibbs" Cadpig said.
-
"Yeah, and we were pros at that" Lucky said, "you'll be fine".
~~~~
As Matt and Tuck walked towards the movie theatre, Cruell had finally given up waiting for Jasper and Horace's nephew to come back, "Just inform me when the kid gets in to check in with you again" she said, "I'll get all the info then!".
"Yes ma'am" Horace saluted.
-
"And not only that We don't even have to go through Cruella's yard. She isn't the type of person you should pay a visit too though"Cadpig said
"So, Matt tell me a little bit more about you. Where you from"Tuck asked.
-
"Yeah" Pitch agreed, "you want to avoid her at all costs!".
"Well" Matt said, "that sort of keeps changing. I've been shuffled around from relative to relative a whole lot since my parents aren't around anymore. First I stayed with my grandmother on my mom's side, then my grandfather on my dad's side, then with Uncle Horace and Jasper a bit before back to my grandmother and then back to here with Uncle Horace and Jasper. I'm kinda hoping, now that I met you, I'll get to stay around here again" Matt was pretty upbeat for telling such a story.
-
"Yeah" Pitch agreed, "you want to avoid her at all costs!".
"Well" Matt said, "that sort of keeps changing. I've been shuffled around from relative to relative a whole lot since my parents aren't around anymore.

I'm kinda hoping, now that I met you, I'll get to stay around here again" Matt was pretty upbeat for telling such a story.
"Wow"Tuck said feeling really bad for Matt. Nobody should have had to go through all that especially someone as nice as Matt. Tuck pats Matt on the shoulder. "I'm sorry to hear that too. I hope you get to stay around here for a while too" Tuck said.
Calico smiled. These Dalmatian pups were, really, really, nice.
-
Matt smiled, "Thanks, and yeah, hopefully I'll get to just stay put here". As they approached the movie theatre Matt glanced to the poster advertising the movie, "I hope this is good, since I picked it and all" he said.
-
"I'm sure it's great a little later I gotta get your Face book so I can friend you. You do have Face book right?"Tuck asked.
-
"Yep, sure do" Matt said, "though Uncle Horace and Jasper don't let me put along leading back to them on it, they said something about too many people finding them being bad or something" the boy shrugged, unaware of just how many crimes his uncles were collectively guilty of through Cruella's help.
-
"Oh, wow. I don't know what you just said but...........wow." Tuck said not really having a clue what Matt meant.
Calico smiled. "So what do you guys do for fun around this joint?" He asked.
-
BUMP!!!
