This is a collab that brave kid and I worked on a little while ago(He had the initial idea and I wrote the script) which is the fifth in a series he and I will be working together on in the future, in which the characters from the 2010 series stand on their hind legs, wear human clothes, and talk to humans as the characters in the 1986 series did(Pictures of the characters from this story, as well as, for fun, a pic of Niblet picturing himself getting shaved, are also now available at my blog, the Keeper of the Fun blog). Please enjoy!(BTW brave kid, thank you very much for this story suggestion. I had a lot of fun working on this story with you, and I very much appreciate it. I look forward to writing future stories with you.) :)
It's a lovely day in New York City. Inside Dot's Puppy Pound, the Super Secret Pup Club are watching a Mexican wrestling match on TV. "Go! Put him in an arm lock!" Rebound exclaims. "Get him in a head lock!" Cupcake yells. "Give him a pile driver!" Patches cries.
At that moment, Lucky and Cookie walk in. "What are you kids watching?" Cookie inquires.
"It's a Lucha match." Patches replies.
"Yeah, Mexican wrestling." Rebound adds.
"This match is really great." Cupcake states.
Lucky and Cookie share a chuckle. "Ohh, those kids! They are so cute!" Cookie says.
"Yeah," Lucky replies. He turns to the kids. "Now, I assume that you kids know that wrestling's fake?"
The pups look up at him skeptically. "Wrestling's fake? Are you sure?"
But before Lucky can elaborate on this matter, the doorbell rings; immediately, all of the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens scramble for it. "I'll get it!" Squirt exclaims. "No, I'll get it!" shouts Kugel. "No, no, I'll get it!" Niblet yells, as the other dogs and cats virtually trample him to get to the door. Lucky finally reaches and answers the door. "Aw, rats," Niblet grumbles. "I never get t'get it."
Upon opening the door, Lucky is greeted by a furry white Persian cat wearing a pink silk gown, a matching bow in her hair, a pearl necklace, and a pair of gold earrings. "Hello, friend," she greets him politely. "Might this be Dot's Puppy Pound?"
"Yes, ma'am," Lucky replies. "How may we help you?"
"Well, my name is Madame Pickypuss(1), and my friend Cuddlesworth P. Wigglebottom(1) has gone missing." She hands the group a photo of a Chihuahua who looks very much like Squirt, except for wearing a dark blue tuxedo, matching pants, a red bowtie, and a monocle over his left eye.
Squirt looks at the picture disdainfully. "Hey, did someone just duplicate me? That's copyright infringement!"
"Cuddlesworth has gone missing several times before, but our owner has always been able to find him easily enough," Pickypuss continues. "But now, neither of us knows where he's gotten to, and our owner's very worried."
A concerned look crosses Tiny's face. "Really? That's terrible!"
Well, don't worry, Miss," Cookie says reassuringly. "We'll find him and bring him back safely."
Pickypuss' face lights up. "Oh, thank you! This means so much to my owner and me."
