THE ROAD ROVERS

Chapter 1

It's been sixteen years since the Road Rovers have quit. Colleen and Hunter's relationship didn't work out and Colleen became bitter for that reason. Exile became a celebrity in 2002. He starred in big name movies like Dogs In Black 3, Evil Bread and Bark If You Know What I Peed On Last Saturday The 14th. Blitz had been a normal feral, non-talking dog ever seen he'd left and is currently in an observation center in Germany. Shag's been a farmer in America, having gotten bored of Poland. Muzzle has been at the dogpound so he couldn't hurt anyone. Hunter is left wondering why he's made the mistake he has with Colleen. Confuseus remains as a professor of a college. All these years while the Road Rovers lie dormant, other superhero alliances have formed, making it seem like they no longer needed the Road Rovers.

April 27, 2013.

United Kingdom. A court.

Colleen, a beautiful brown and white rough collie with blue eyes sat at a desk with her front paws cuffed.

"Colleen Masters." said the judge in a British accent. "You have been charged with destruction of property, hospitalized assault and battery, murder attempts and mental abuse. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty." said Colleen in her British accent.

"Of course you would." said the judge. "That is not a reasonable plea."

"And why not?" asked Colleen.

"You're asking why not?" asked the judge.

"If you think I was in control of this, you're dead wrong." said Colleen.

"You have the right to remain silent." said the judge.

"Do I have to remind everybody I was a Road Rover in the 90's?" asked Colleen. "Or is everyone here too you to remember that?"

"You're not anymore." said the judge.

"Why don't you just listen?" asked Colleen bitterly. "When the wolf comes out, it has no remorse. It does not have my brain. It-"

"SILENCE!" shouted the judge.

"You spineless hobknocker." said Colleen.

"What!?" shouted the judge.

A tall man with short black hair, a pair of glasses on, a black tuxedo with a black tie, black pants and black shoes came in.

"Is this Colleen Masters's case?" he asked in an American accent.

'That's weird.' Colleen thought. 'An American.'

"Yes." said the judge. "Who are you?"

"Professor James Dodd." said the man. "I would like you to consider facts."

"Okay, Mr. Dodd." said the judge.

Professor Dodd got a paper out of his suitcase.

"Our studies of werewolves have shown us that whoever becomes a werewolf cannot control themselves." said Professor Dodd and laid the statistics paper on the desk.

"Very well." said the judge, looking at the paper. "Colleen, I pronounce you not guilty."

A few minutes later.

Colleen and Professor Dodd were walking down the stairs outside the court.

"I guess I should thank you, but why did you help me if you don't even know me?" asked Colleen.

"Ms. Masters, you can say I am a fan of yours." said Professor Dodd. "I was ten when you was in the Road Rovers. I heard about your heroic acts and became a scientist. I wanted to see if I could make another of you, but failed to realize that was cloning." he said and got in a white Chevrolet Express. "Why don't you hop in and I'll give you a ride home."

"Absolutely not." said Colleen. "You're not dognapping me."

"Why don't you relax?" asked Professor Dodd. "I have my equivalent of you."

"May I have proof?" asked Colleen.

Professor Dodd sighed.

"Shania, will you get out of the van, please?" asked Professor Dodd.

A brown and white border collie then got out of the van in front of Colleen.

"Hi." said Shania. "It's so nice to meet you."

"Hello." said Colleen.

"So, what do you say?" asked Professor Dodd.

"Why not?" asked Colleen with a sigh.
