Part 1
An excited Dudley burst out into song the moment he jumped off the bus. The bus zoomed off. Pichu was nearby.
"Since I was a pup," Dudley sang. "I had a great dream, my name in lights, Dudley Puppy the song and dance dog! Got on a bus headed straight to where all dreams come true!"
"Wow! Pichu piped up, coming to him, struggling with a bag of groceries, trying to put it on a cart. "Nice song, mister!"
"It could happen to anyone!" Dudley continued, helping Pichu place the bag gently on the cart. "It's going to happen for me." He pointed to Pichu. "Could happen to you." Pichu jumped in excitement.
"Wow; reallys?" Dudley nodded.
"It could happen if you try. You might find out that even the impossible dreams can come true if you believe! This is my town; it's my time and place." Dudley waved to Pichu. Pichu waved back.
"Byes mister, ohs, amb thamks yous for the helps!"
"Taxi!" Called Kitty, hailing a cab. Unfortunately for her, Dudley got in first. Kitty sighed in disappointment. "It's this town," Dudley still sang. "Hollywood! The streets paved in gold and the doggies never grow old. Hollywood, Hollywood; where dreams come true!" He got out, thanked and paid the man, and went inside a building.
He got into an office lobby with Klaus in his cup on the floor, Pinkie Pie, Squidward and Antoine in chairs, where he sang the finale of his song.
"Hollywood; where dreams never grow old and come trueeeeeeee!" He sat near Squidward.
"Finally!" He said. "He's done; I thought we'd had to sit here the whole time listening to him sing!"
"So, how are you all doing?" Dudley asked cheerfully. Klaus sighed.
"Not so gut." He replied in his thick German accent.
"What are all of your names?" The dog asked.
"Glad you asked!" Pinkie Pie piped up. She took a deep breath. "I'mPinkiePiethe fishisKlaustheoctopusisSqidward,andthat'sAntoionet he..the…well, we don't know what he is.
"I'm a coyote." Antoine put in.
"Right! He's a coyote, I knew that, so, what's your name?"
"I'm Dudley Puppy. I just came here, and I'm sure I'll be asking for names again since all I got was Antoine's. "
"Just be happy that Zoe Trent isn't here," Squidward pointed out. "Otherwise, she'll sing while introducing each and every one of us."
"Right, so anyways, I heard that Mr. Bickles is hiring some animals for good movie parts."
"Ja!" Klaus spoke. "If you call hanging from a hook a good part."
"At least it's part, right?" Pinkie Pie said with a smile.
"I wouldn't get your hopes up if I were you." Antoine told the pony, gloomily. "My fortune cookie said, "Give up on your dreams, you hopeless loser- moron." Klaus looked confused.
"Who puts that in a fortune cookie?" He questioned. He then sighed. "Ever since I was turned into a goldfish and forced into America, my luck has been nothing but rotten." Dudley took out his clipboard.
"Let's see," He said. "Arrival at Hollywood." He checked it off his list "Check!" Pinkie Pie leaned in to get a closer look, completely ignoring any boundary of personal space.
"Oooooh!" She said with joy. "Whatcha' doing there?" Dudley looked at her.
"Oh, it's my checklist, I like to keep real organized! I hoped that if I work really hard, I'll get a huge part by Friday. That's how worked with you guys, right?"
"Sure!" Squidward lied. "Why not Thursday? That way you can get all the disappointment out of your system."
"They're going to shoot a Noah's Ark movie." Pinkie Pie said. "A lot of animal parts; you'll do great, break a leg! Now, why do they say that? Breaking a leg means you have to go to the hospital and that's no fun at all, that's just sad. Oh well, good luck!" Dudley jumped out of his seat and waved to his new friends.
"Thanks, but I don't need it!" He went into Mr. Bickle's office.
"You know, saying 'gut luck' is considered bad luck in the theater business." Klaus told Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie looked confused.
"Why is that?" Klaus just shrugged.
Mr. Bickles had just finished a phone call when Dudley came in.
"Uh, Mr. Bickles?" Dudley said. Mr. Bickles looked at him.
"How can I help you?" He asked with a smile.
"I thought you were a drama teacher at Dimmsdale Elementary. Why are you working here?"
"I am a drama teacher at Dimmsdale Elementary and I still am. But for this parody, I work here. Besides, I need a life away from those cra…I mean, beautiful children this summer. So, I went to pursue my dream of directing movies! Teachers have lives besides outside their classrooms, you know."
"I guess. I always imagine that teachers hunt down aliens or something when they're not teaching." Mr. Bickles' face fell.
"Is that the whole reason why you're in here? Because if it is, you just wasted my time. Moviemaking isn't cheap you know."
"I know that, and the reason why I came here today was is to ask if I can be in your movie. I got talent and if you want that, I'm your ma…I mean dog." He then laughed to himself. "Did you hear that? I almost said man, but I can't be your man, because I'm a dog!" He laughed until he saw that Mr. Bickles wasn't amused. "So, am I in the picture or not?" Mr. Bickles nodded.
"You sure are!" Dudley was excited.
"Really?!"
"Yep! I want you in my next Penny movie." Dudley gasped in shock.
"The Penny? USA's sweetheart and lover of kids and animals, even though she's an anime from Japan?" Mr. Bickes nodded.
"That's the one!" He showed him the contract. "Now just sign here, here, and
here."
"Dude, she's my idol! I will!" He grabbed a pen and wrote his signatures.
"Thanks, you don't know what this means to me."
"You're welcome. Welcome to the business, dog. If you see Kitty out there, send her in please."
As Dudley left Mr. Bickles' office, Kitty Katswell showed up.
"Are you Kitty?" Dudley asked. Kitty nodded. He extended his paw, which
Kitty shook.
"And you're the dog that stole my cab ride over here."
"That was your cab ride?" He gave a guilty smile. "Oops; sorry! Anyways, you're next. I'm Dudley Puppy by the way. Good luck!" Kitty smiled.
"Thanks, and I'm Kitty Katswell." And with that, she went into Mr. Bickle's
office.
"The answer's no." Kitty told Mr. Bickles.
"But I haven't told you anything yet." Mr. Bickles pointed out.
"Well, it's still no."
"Well, okay, but you may say yes to this. There's an upcoming Noah Ark's movie coming and we need a female cat. Guess who's it going to be?" Kitty sighed.
"Let me guess, you're asking the only female cat in the room I'm just going out on a limb here, but, it is me?" Mr. Bickles smiled.
"You got it, baby!"
"No way!"
"I'll give you Sundays off."
"I get Sundays off anyways."
"I'll pay you double…no triple! Anything to make you say yes to this movie, please, pretty please with cherries on top?" Kitty sighed.
"Fine; I'll do it."
"YES!" Mr. Bickles cheered with a pump in the air. "You're be working with Dudley Puppy." Kitty looked at him like he was just in his underwear, shock.
"What?! You don't mean that mangy cab-stealing mutt?"
"Oh good, you know him. Yep; he'll be your partner."
"But…you don't understand. I…"
"Glad that you agree. Run along now, Kitty Katswell." Kitty sighed, knowing it was no use in arguing. She went for the door and closed it behind her with a slam.
"We'll be working together." Kitty told Dudley in deadpan. Dudley looked at her with a smile.
"Great!" He said, He then hugged Kitty, tightly. "We'll show them that dogs and cats can work well together!"
"Can't breathe!" Kitty wheezed.
"Oops!" Dudley dropped the cat on the floor. "Sorry!" Kitty got up and glared at him.
Dudley and Kitty were in the movie lot. Dudley was amazed by it all. There was a poster of Noah's Ark movie, Penny was beside the ark, smiling. The title above read: 'Mini Ark Cutie pie'. Dudley's tail was wagging like crazy.
"Wow!" Dudley said. "Wow, wow, wow!"
"Okay!" Kitty said. "You said 'wow' a hundred times."
"Kitty, I said it 24 times. I'm just so doggone excited! Don't you see my tail wagging with joy? I never been to Hollywood before, this place is just…wow! There, I said it 25 times!" Kitty sighed.
Buford was pushing a cart of yummy looking food.
"Let me help!" Pichu piped up, going to Buford's side. The bully looked at him.
"Nah; I can do it."
"No, let mes help!" Pichu was about to push the cart when Buford stuck his leg out, tripping him.
"I said, get out of my way, you electric rat!" Pichu picked himself up. He was in tears.
"I'm a mouse you meamie!" He ran off crying.
"Whatever!" With that, Buford continued pushing the cart.
Pichu bumped into Dudley. He looked at him and beamed.
"Hey! You're dat dog froms earliers, right?" Dudley nodded.
"You got that right." Dudley told him. "So, don't you have a job or something?"
"Oohs, yeah I do! But, not now." He offered his hand. "Hi! I'm Pichu Eleshock." Dudley shook his hand.
"Glad to meet you."
"That's it?" Dudley questioned when they got their scripts. He only had one line, "Woof!" "Just 'woof!'? They were in the studio. A big wooden boat was in the center. Carl was doing final checks on the equipment and stuff.
"If it makes you feel any better," Kitty told him. "I only meow."
"But, isn't this supposed to be a musical? You know, with musical numbers and dancing?"
"Oh brother!" Klaus muttered with a fin to the face.
"Listen," Kitty continued. "If you want to be a star, you got to follow the rules, and the rules say dogs only say 'woof' and cats only 'meow.'"
"Meow!" Gary piped up.
"And despite being a snail, so does Gary." Gary smiled. "The point is, it always has been that way and that how it's always going to be."
"Well, I don't think that's fair." Then an idea stuck him. "I'll jazz it up a bit!"
"Oh no!" Squidward said. "I can already see where this is going."
"Are you certain?" Antoine asked the dog with concern. "You could get into a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry, Antoine!" Dudley assured him. "After Penny hears what I have to say; she'll be begging for more!" Antoine did a face palm, shaking his head with a sigh.
"I do not like this."
"Time to start animals!" Carl called in his megaphone. Penny was in front of the ark, smiling, eagerly waiting to begin. She cleared her throat.
"And Penny." Penny smiled and curtseyed. The animals went into their positions. Carl held the megaphone to his mouth again. "And….action!" And with that, Penny began to sing. "Oh, the people were so very bad," She sang. "So bad that the all powerful made it rain. He washed away their naughty cities and naughty towns; all the people drowned! But for the animals, it was different, but some of them drowned too. But the surviving animals, they didn't know what to do!" The music was now upbeat. "I build a boat, as cute as could be. I put the animals on it upon the sea!" She went to Waddles and Tepig.
"The pigs went…"
"Oink, oink!" Waddles oinked.
"Tepig!" Tepig snouted. Penny went to Perry and a purple platypus named Paddy.
"The platypuses went…" Perry and Paddy chattered in unison. Penny went to Kitty and Nermal next.
"The kitty went…"
"Meow!" Kitty and Nermal mewed obediently. The child actress went to Dudley and Odie.
"The dogs went…" Both dogs barked, but Dudley did his bark in a singsong manner. Next, Penny went to Klaus.
"The fish went…" Klaus froze. He didn't know what to say!
"Uh…glub?" Klaus tried. Dudley went by his side.
"Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!" He barked in his singsong manner. Penny went to the center again.
"On my boat on the sea!" Dudley ran near her.
"The boat on the sea!" He sang, dancing to the music. "Woof, woof, wooffffffff!" He then noticed everybody glaring at him. The music stopped. "Woof?" He gulped. He was in really hot water.
