Brain finally made it to the ranch. He read the sign it said "WELCOME TO HORSELAND"
He figured that he should go find the animals and warn them. He ran into the ranch and saw some kids working and feeding the horses. He walked into the ranch to begin his quest.
"Excuse me" said a voice "What brings you here, fella?"
Brain looked around and then saw a Collie, who walked right towards him.
"Oh hi" said Brain "I'm Brain, nice to meet you"
"The name's, Shep" said the Collie "Welcome to Horseland, Brain"
"Nice place you got here, Shep" Brain said to Shep "But what is Horseland, anyways?"
"It's a school for kids who like to ride horses" Shep explained "I belong to the owners of the school. Their nephew and son run this place"
"That's great to hear, Shep" said Brain "But I really don't have time to talk. I came to warn you guys about something"
"Warn us, eh?" Shep raised an eyebrow "That sounds a bit unexpected. Why don't I go introduce you to my friends and then you can tell me"
"Sure" said Brain "I would really like to meet them. After all, I need more people to tell you the tragic news"
Shep led Brain to the ranch fence where a female gray cat and a white potbellied pig were just kicking it.
"Teeny! Angora!" Shep called out "Come here"
"Do we have to Shep?" Angora yawned "I need my beauty sleep"
"We have a guest" said Shep.
"A guest?" Teeny asked as he got up "Oh boy! Oh boy! I love guests!"
"Well why didn't you say so, Shep?" Angora asked as she leaped off the fence "I'm sure he'd love to meet me and my beautiful good looks"
Teeny and Angora ran over to Shep and Brain, anticipated to meet the latter.
"Teeny, Angora, this is my new friend, Brain" Shep said as he held out his paw.
"Pleased to meet you, Brain" Teeny said as he shook Brain's hand rapidly "So pleased! Very pleased!"
"Nice to meet you too, Teeny" Brain said, examining his slightly red paw.
"Great" Angora said sarcastically as she saw Brain "Just what we need, another dog"
"Angora" Shep scolded the cat "Brain is our guest! We must make him feel welcome"
"Nice to meet you Angora" Brain said to Angora.
"Charmed, I'm sure" Angora rolled her eyes "So what brings you to Horseland, Brain?"
"Why don't we go to the stable where all the animals are and then I'll explain?" suggested Brain "It's kind of something we all have to listen to"
"Great idea, Brain" said Shep "All the kids are in the mess hall having lunch, so all the horses are in the stable. Let's go"
Brain, Shep, Angora and Teeny walked over to the stable, where all the horses were having a conversation together.
"Attention, everyone" Shep called out "Everybody shut up!"
"Oh, hello Shep" said Aztec "What's going on here?"
"Yeah" Chili said "I was just about finish my joke about the-"
"And who's your friend?" asked Scarlet.
"Nice to meet you, everyone" Brain introduced himself "The name's Brain. I was just passing by and thought I'd stop here"
"That's great to hear" said Aztec "But we really want to know why you're here! Shep just said it was important!"
"Okay" Brain breathed in and out "Here's the thing..."
Brain wasted no time explaining the situation to the animals.
"A nuclear missile in this area?" the horses shouted.
Brain nodded his head "That's right! We have to warn the humans in case my owners don't make it"
"But how, pray tell are we supposed to do that?" asked Angora "You know humans can't speak our language"
"We're just gonna have to try" said Brain.
Meanwhile in the woods, Gadget and his allies were searching for DuBois' lair with no luck, whatsoever.
"How are we going to find DuBois in these mountains?" asked Fred "She could be anywhere, man"
"Usually, villains hide in a place with a secret entrance" said Tyson "My guess is that there must be some sort of hidden gizmo or switch somewhere"
"You're right, Tyson" said Gadget "It could be anywhere"
"Usually, the secret entrances are hidden in the shadows" Gadget said "My guess is that the entrance must be some sort of hidden trigger in these mountains"
"That's not a bad theory, G" said Tyson.
"Sounds crazy enough to work" said Jorge.
"Let's start looking" said Gadget "Go go gadget, magnifying glass"
An extension hand came out of Gadget's hat, holding a magnifying glass and held it close to his eye. The cops then started to search for clues or some sort of hidden contraption.
Back at Horseland, Brain and the animals were still thinking of a way to warn the humans about the missile.
"If we don't warn the kids in time, it could mean doomsday for all of us" said Brain "We have to find a way to get them to go home in case my owners don't catch this DuBois character in time"
"I can't risk losing Molly" said Calypso.
"And I can't risk losing my Zoey" Pepper added.
"That's why we have to get them out of here before it's too late" said Brain.
"But how?" Teeny asked Brain "It's not like we can just walk up and tell them what's going to happen"
"I have an idea, Teeny my boy" said Brain "But it's going to involve our animal senses and abilities"
"I like where this is going" Scarlet remarked.
"Well I don't" said Aztec.
"Don't worry, Aztec" said Brain "I've got it all under control. Now, Shep told me that the kids are going to take all of you guys out for a stroll in the woods after lunch, so..."
Author's Note:
Looks like Brain is the dog with the plan! With the help of the horses, Shep, Teeny and Angora, he'll have those kiddies evacuating the facility in no time. Hopefully, because that missile could launch any second now!
