Sweet Revenge
Disclaimers: I do not own any of the characters in this series(except Akito and Drakon). All rights go to the original owners.
[The next day, Fluffy, Spot, Snuggles, and Vladimir were seen playing volley ball together outside the mansion owned by Akito. The day was bright and sunny, butterflies were flying by, and birds were chirping their wonderful songs. It seemed like a peaceful and happy day for the trio. However, Fluffy and Spot were still feeling upset and frustrated that Fenrir and Drakon got off so easy, and were not subjected to the same treatment that they were in being the birthday balloons for the party]
Spot: Watch out! Here it comes!
[Spot bounces the ball to Fluffy, who then has a vision. As he saw the ball coming, he had a flashback to their humiliating moments at the party. Seen through his eyes, the ball turns into an inflated Spot that slowly floats towards him. But then all of a sudden, Fluffy is hit by the ball]
Fluffy: OW!
[Akito sees Fluffy get hit and goes over to him]
Akito: Fluffy, are you okay?!
SFluffy: Ugh…
Snuggles: You okay, mon ami?
Spot: (apologetic) Oh! I'm sorry about that, Fluffy! That was an accident!
Akito: Fluffy, speak to us! Say something!
Fluffy: Ohhh… (shakes head) Uh? Akito? Is that you?
Akito: Yes it's me, Fluffy.
Vlad: Comrade, what happened? You look like you were spacing out.
Fluffy: I'm okay, Vlad. No thanks to Spot.
Spot: Hey, come on! I didn't mean to do that! You didn't hit the ball in time!
Fluffy: Well maybe if you didn't hit it so hard, I would have seen it coming!
Spot: It's not my fault you're so slow!
Fluffy: Oh shut up!
Akito: Both of you, stop arguing right now! Fluffy, what is your problem?!
Fluffy: (sigh) Oh its nothing. It's nothing at all. I'm just tired…
Vlad: Here. Let me help you.
[Vladimir offers his paw to Fluffy, and he helps him up]
Akito: Are you sure you're okay Fluffy?
Fluffy: Yes, Akito. I assure you. Don't worry about me. I just need some time to rest.
[Fluffy walks away from the group, and back into the mansion]
Vladimir: He doesn't seem to be in good spirits today…
Snuggles: I think something's wrong with Fluffy.
Akito: Spot…
Spot: Yes?
Akito: Why don't you go talk to Fluffy?
Spot: What for? He seems pretty upset. I don't think he wants to talk right now.
Akito: But Spot, you're Fluffy's closest companion. So I think it would be a good idea for you and him to work out your differences.
Spot: Well, you are right. I've known Fluffy since we were first mutated by Parvo. And ever since then we've been close friends.
Akito: So why don't you go and talk to him?
Spot: Well… Alright… I will…
[Spot leaves the group, and heads off to the mansion to find his friend Fluffy]
Akito: Vlad…
Vlad: Yes, Akito?
Akito: Why don't you go keep an eye on them to make sure they behave?
Vlad: Okay, Akito. I will.
[Vlad heads off to the mansion]
Snuggles: Hmmm… You know something, Akito?
Akito: What is it, Snuggles?
Snuggles: I have a feeling Fluffy is not over the humiliation of being one of zee birthday balloons at your party.
Akito: But we all had a good time! Why would he still be embarassed about that?
Snuggles: I don't know, sherrie. For some people, it takes a while to get over a humiliating endeavor such as the one we endured. And some never get over it. In Fluffy's case, he must be feeling rather bitter.
Akito: Poor Fluffy.
[Meanwhile, back inside the mansion, Spot finds Fluffy sitting in his room, looking outside the window in a sulking manner]
Spot: Hey… Fluffy…
Fluffy: You again? What do you want?!
Spot: Hey, relax! I just want to talk to you!
Fluffy: What is there to talk about?
Spot: You seem pretty upset about something. Is there anything I can do to help?
Fluffy: … No…
[Spot walks over to Fluffy, and sits down next to him. He places one paw on his friend's shoulder]
Spot: Oh come on, Fluffy. Don't act like that. We've been close companions ever since Parvo brought us together. Admittedly, that's the only good thing I remember about Parvo. But that's not the point. The thing is we've been best buddies for a long time now. Even when we became good guys, we were still fiends. There's no reason why we can't still be best buddies after all this time. Right?
Fluffy: … I guess so…
Spot: What's the matter, pal? Are you mad because I hit you on the head with the volley ball?
[Fluffy stays silent for a moment. But then he answers]
Fluffy: No, Spot. It's not that… It's not that at all… It's just that…
Spot: What?
Fluffy: I'm still a bit upset at the fact that we all volunteered to be Akito's birthday balloons… I've never been so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life…
[Spot snickered a little]
Spot: Really? You're still angry because of that? But that was six months ago! Don't you think you should let that go?
Fluffy: How can I let it go when it keeps coming back to me? Have you forgotten that almost each and every one of us had to participate in such a humiliating event?
Spot: But Fluffy, we all had to participate in Akito's birthday party like that. I mean yes, I admit I was just as embarrassed as you were. But we did it for Akito because that's what she wanted. She didn't do that for no reason you know. Besides, we were fresh out of balloons. So we had to fit the bill.
Fluffy: I know… But what bothers me more than that is that Fenrir and Drakon got off so easy. Doesn't that bother you at all, Spot?
Spot: A little bit, but I decided to let it go.
Fluffy: What? Don't tell me that doesn't bother you!
Spot: Why should it? It's in the past now.
Fluffy: Well, it's the 1st of April. So why don't we uhhhhhh… Play a prank on someone?
[Spot thinks for a little bit and decides to go for it]
Spot: Okay, I'm in.
Fluffy: Glad to hear it, buddy! But first, we'll need something… Hmmm…
[Fluffy places one paw on his chin and thinks…]
Spot: Wait! I know!
Fluffy: What?
Spot: Let's get Jasper's Expando 5000.
Fluffy: YES! That's a great idea! You're a genius, Spot!
Spot: (chuckling) But we're going to have to ask Jasper to give us some of that stuff.
Fluffy: Huh? What for?
Spot: It's not like he's just going to let us take it.
Fluffy: But there's got to be some way for us to get are paws on it! We need that stuff for our prank!
Spot: Maybe there is. What we need is Vlad's help.
Fluffy: Vlad? How's "he" going to help us?
Spot: Well, what we need to do is convince him to help us with our plan. And I think I know just how to do it.
[Fluffy smiles]
Fluffy: How?
Spot: Well we can tell him we can try and get some extra potions for him. But we don't really need much. Like enough for two drinks for the prank, he can have the rest.
Fluffy: Hmmm… Yeah, good idea, pal. Besides, I bet Vlad must REALLY miss being a giant living birthday balloon!
Spot: That right. All we need is one flask of Expando 5000. And once we've gotten it, those two guys will be in for a REALLY big surprise!
Fluffy: You're so awesome, Spot!
Spot: Heh heh heh. Yeah!
[Fluffy and Spot both high five each other, and shake hands passionately. Little did they know Drakon and Fenrir were next door listening]
Drakon: I can't believe Fluffy is still sore about the balloon incident.
Fenrir: I feel the same way, Drakon. That kid must be really sore about it. And it's been six months since then.
Drakon: Guess some people just can't let go of the past. You know, maybe we should just let them inflate us.
Fenrir: (reluctant) Yeah, I suppose you're right. It's only fair that we amuse them as they have amused us. After all, we kind of deserve it. Admittedly, I did find some amusement from their past predicament even though I never really laughed.
Drakon: Funny, that's how I saw it too. Besides, they're still young. And still have much to learn.
Fenrir: Indeed. So, you want to just… Go with the flow?
Drakon: Pretty much.
Fenrir: Well then, Drakon my friend, let's take it with some dignity. And let the boys have some fun. They deserve it after everything they've been through.
Drakon: You took the words right out of my mouth.
[Meanwhile with Spot and Fluffy, the duo were looking for Vlad]
Spot: Now if I were a big hulking mutated polar bear where would I be?
Fluffy: Ummm… Technically, we're all hulking mutants, Spot.
Spot: Well yeah. But in case you've forgotten, Vlad is taller than us. We're only like 7 feet tall. He's 8 feet tall, not to mention he is a polar bear.
Fluffy: Okay. Point taken.
Spot: Oh Vladimir… Vlaaaadimiiiiiirrrrr…
[Vlad peaked around the corner]
Vlad: Yes?
Spot: Ahh! There you are!
Fluffy: We've been looking all over for you, big guy!
Vlad: Really? What do you need me for, comrades?
[Fluffy and Spot both place their paws behind them, thrust their hips forward, and smile]
Fluffy: Well, we need you for a very "special" task.
Spot: Yes. And we'll reward you kindly if you do it for us. Is it a deal?
Vlad: I guess so. What is this "special" task anyway?
Fluffy: (sweet) Well… Wouldn't you like to know?
Spot: We'll give you some of that Expando 5000 formula if you promise to get one flask of it for us.
Vlad: But I can get the whole thing if I ask Jasper.
[Spot places one paw on Vlad's cheek gently]
Spot: (chuckles) Okay then, you get as many as you need, and just give one to us. We promise, if you get us just one flask, we'll let you keep the rest for yourself. So you can expand and bloat up anytime you want! Do we have a deal?
Vlad: Deal.
[They shake paws and head to Jasper's lab]
Spot: Oh good he's still in there.
[Vlad heads inside]
Vlad: Jasper…
Jasper: Oh, so it's you. I'm a little busy at the time, Vlad.
Vlad: I just need to ask you a favor…
Jasper: Let me guess, you want me to give you a bottle of the Expando 5000
Vlad: Yes! Can I have some of it? Please?
Jasper: Have you been a good bear?
Vlad: (hops around playfully) Yes! Yes I have been! I've been a very good bear! I swear!
[Vlad's hopping was shaking the whole room]
Jasper: Okay, okay! I'll give you a bottle, and if you stop hopping I'll give you four more and something extra!
Vlad: Really? What else will you give me?!
Jasper: Well I have a spare flask if you want it. But if you want something else, that's fine.
Vlad: What is it? I'm curious!
Jasper: It's a small container.
Vlad: Oh okay. Thanks.
Jasper: Anytime.
[Vlad was about to leave but he noticed a container but the liquid was different]
Vlad: Uh Jasper, what's in that?
Jasper: Oh that's the antidote for the original formula.
Vlad: Where is the original formula?
Jasper: I have it locked away, because I know how you are with this inflation stuff. So be grateful with what I gave you, each one of those formulas only last for about several days, but the effects last longer depending on how much you drink so be sure to drink no more than a tablespoon okay?
Vlad: Okay.
Jasper: Good. Now please leave.
Vlad: Sure, Jasper. Thank you.
Jasper: (working on research) Sure. Whatever.
[Vladimir leaves happily with the container. And then he meets with Fluffy and Spot]
Spot: So, you got the goods?
Vlad: Yes! Yes I have!
Spot: Great. As we agreed, we get a flask of that potion.
Vlad: Right.
[Vlad undoes the lid and pours it into the flask, he closes the flask with a cork and gives it to the duo]
Spot: Thank you so much, Vlad. We're very happy to do business with you.
Vlad: Likewise.
[Vlad walks off with his box, feeling so happy and satisfied. And the canomutant duo were feeling just as happy. But for a different reason. Spot looks at the flask, and they both grin]
Spot: Hey, Fluffy. You thinking what I'm thinking?
Fluffy: Yes. Sweet revenge…
[The duo both giggle at their scheme. Meanwhile with Akito, Snuggles Prowl, Sheng, and Raptor were spending some quality time with her]
Akito: Thanks for taking some time to hang out with me guys.
Prowl: Anytime, Akito. We all love you very much. And we are honored to spend time with you on this wonderful day.
Sheng-Long: I agree with Prowl. You've shown us the light, and given us a whole new reason for living. You've changed our lives drastically, and we are forever grateful. Even though you did embarrass us a bit on your birthday by turning us into giant floating animal balloons, I can let that pass.
Snuggles: Oui. Likewise, mon ami.
Raptor: Yeah, what's in the past is done.
Akito: Good. But I promise I won't pull that trick on you guys ever again.
Prowl: (chuckles) Well, that's good to know. But…
Akito: But…?
[Prowl whispers in Akito's ear]
Prowl: I wouldn't mind if you did it one last just to have fun.
Akito: (whispers) Just to you?
Prowl: (whispers) No, to all of us.
Akito: (whispers) Are you sure? Because I don't think they'll like it.
Prowl: (whispers) Sure. Just once more… As a joke…
Akito: (whispers) Okay. But I only got the minor dosage one that lasts for a few hours.
Prowl: (whispers) It doesn't matter either way. I know we're in good hands when we're around you.
Akito: Okay.
Snuggles: What were you two whispering about?
Akito: Nothing important.
[Everybody looked in suspicion]
Sheng-Long: Are you sure?
Prowl: Sure. It's nothing important at all. We assure you.
Akito: Yeah. So don't worry.
[Everybody then looked away and elsewhere. Prowl and Akito looked at each other, and the alligator winks at her. She gives him a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Fluffy and Spot were making preparations]
Spot: Okay, we've got our stuff. And now what we need to do is to get Fenrir and Drakon in a situation when they least expected.
Fluffy: Got it.
Spot: And also, this stuff is harmless if it gets on your skin. But if you swallow it or breathe it in, then you're screwed.
Fluffy: Got it.
Spot: So, go check on them. Make sure they're within our reach.
[Fluffy checks around and sees Drakon and Fenrir relaxing under a tree close by]
Fluffy: I see them, pal! Looks like we've got em!
Spot: Good. Let's get 'em!
Drakon: Here they come, Fenrir.
Fenrir: I see them.
Fluffy: Hurry up with that stuff, will you!
Spot: Wait! I'm almost done!
[Spot carefully pours the Expando 5000 formula into the drinks, and mixes them with a spoon]
Drakon: I'm a little thirsty how about you Fenrir?
Fenrir: Yeah I could use a nice cold drink right about now.
Spot: Go out there and greet them. I'll catch up with you.
[Fluffy goes out to see Fenrir and Drakon resting peacefully under the tree]
Fluffy: Hey! What's up?
Fenrir: Oh, hello, Fluffy. What brings you out here?
Fluffy: Oh, well, I just noticed you guys hanging out here under this tree. And well, it's kind of a hot day today. So Spot and I figured you must be thirsty.
Drakon: You figured correctly, my friend.
Fluffy: Well, in that case, Spot and I have whipped up some freshly squeezed lemonade for you guys! Would you like to have some?
Drakon: That sounds great, thanks.
Fluffy: Okay then!
[Fluffy snaps his fingers twice to signal Spot. Spot comes in with two drinks]
Spot: Here you guys are, nice ice cold lemonade.
[Fenrir and Drakon pause for a few seconds. Then they look towards each other. Drakon nods, and Fenrir goes with it]
Fenrir: Thank you guys.
[Fenrir and Drakon reluctantly, but willingly take the drinks from Spot's paws. The tall Dalmatian smiles, but tries not to make it look too convincing. Fluffy giggles a little, and Spot elbows him to shut him up]
Spot: Shhh!
[They drink the lemonade until there was nothing left]
Drakon: Tasty.
Fenrir: Yes. That was good.
[Fluffy and Spot try their best to hold in their laughter]
Fluffy: (thinking) {Wait for it… Wait for it…}
Spot: (thinking) {Only five more seconds!}
[Suddenly Drakon and Fenrir began to bloat and expand greatly in size, and then they began hovering off the floor]
Drakon: We've been turned into balloons!
Fenrir: Yeah… And I think we've gotten much lighter… So light, that we're floating several feet off the ground…
Drakon: I've never felt this light before in my life…
[Fluffy and Spot both look towards Fenrir and Drakon in their inflated states. They are no longer able to contain their excitement, and they both grin, showing their sharp teeth]
Fluffy: You know something Spot? I recall seeing something like this before. Only this happened to us…
Spot: Yeah, but now the shoes on the other foot.
Fluffy: (giggles) In other words, they're in our shoes now!
Spot: Yeah! And I think this is pretty funny! So funny, that I guess we shouldn't be laughing…
Fluffy: But we will anyway!
[Fluffy and Spot both start laughing hysterically and uncontrollably, hopping up and down, slaping their thighs, and pointing at the inflated Fenrir and Drakon. Fluffy and Spot both drop to the ground, and kick their feet wildly as they hold onto their stomachs from prolonged laughter]
Drakon: Well at least their enjoying themselves.
Fenrir: Oh well… We kind of deserve it… Sort of…
Drakon: It doesn't matter as long as Fluffy gets over what happened that day, I'm not complaining.
Fenrir: Neither am I, Drakon. But these boys do deserve to have at least some fun.
Drakon: I guess you're right…
Fluffy: So what should we do with them, Spot? Should we just leave them up there floating?
Spot: No! Now it's time to have fun! Let's see…
Fluffy: Wait, I know! Let's leave them like this for… 30 years!
Spot: Hey!
[Spot slaps Fluffy]
Fluffy: Ow!
Spot: No you numskull! Have mercy! That's way too long! We'll keep them like this for as long as we want to, until our fun is over! But first we need to figure out what to do…
Fluffy: Why don't we use them to get all snug and comfy? Like teddy bears?
Spot: We can do that.
[Fluffy and Spot use ropes to lasso around Fenrir and Drakon's wastes, and they draw them down to ground level]
Drakon: Are the ropes really necessary?
Fluffy: How else are we supposed to get you down?
Fenrir: You could have grabbed us by our feet or by our tails. They were pretty much dangling right in front of you.
Spot: True. But hey, whatever gets the job done faster.
Fluffy: And now that we got you down, it's time to have some fun!
[Fluffy and Spot jump on Fenrir and Drakon's bloated bodies with a resounding "WHOOMP" sound]
Drakon: Hey that does feel good.
Fluffy: Oh, really? Well, how does THIS feel?
[Fluffy and Spot start cuddling against Fenrir and Drakon's bloated bodies softly and warmly]
Fenrir: Feels nice actually.
Drakon: Yes… Quite comfy…
[Fluffy and Spot both wink at each other, and starts tickling Fenrir and Drakon with their paws]
Fenrir: (chuckles) Stop it!
Fluffy: (cute) Awe! What's the matter? Are you ticklish? Huh? Are you ticklish?
Spot: Coochie coochie coochie coochie coo!
Drakon: (laughs) Please stop!
Fluffy: I don't think so!
Spot: Yeah! Now you will experience what we experienced!
[Fluffy and Spot continued tickling their torture victims, and Fenrir and Drakon cracked up laughing uncontrollably]
Fenrir: No! Please! HAH HAH HAH! Stop! I can't take it! Please! No more! HAH HAH HAH HAH!
Drakon: (laughing) I can't anymore of this. We beg you, no more!
Spot: (grinning) Oh YES more!
Fluffy: (grinning) We've only just begun!
Fenrir: (laughing) Have mercy!
Fluffy: Nope! Not gonna happen!
Spot: We're not stopping no matter how much you beg!
[And so, the canomutant duo continued to mercilessly tickle Fenrir and Drakon to no end, all while they laugh hysterically and helplessly. But then, in the midst of their fun, Prowl comes along to see the commotion. At the sight of this, his eyes are wide open in shock]
Prowl: Fluffy! Spot! Just what in the heck is going on here?!
Spot: (Nervous) Uh, well…
Fluffy: (Nervous) We were… (gulps) Just having fun…
Prowl: Is that right?
Spot: Yeah, that's what we're doing. Having fun.
[Prowl places his hands on his hips]
Prowl: Well, from the looks of it, I'd say you two were up to no good. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Spot: Us? No good? Now Prowl, you of all people should know that we're not like that anymore.
Fluffy: Yeah! It's a different time now!
Prowl: Well, you guys are setting a bad example through your actions! What did Fenrir and Drakon ever do to you to deserve this treatment?
Spot: It's not what they did, it's what didn't happen to them! We got inflated andlaughed at while they got off scot free that day!
Fluffy: What he said! It's not fair for us that we got humiliated and they didn't!
Prowl: Oh come on, it wasn't all that bad! We still had a good time despite what happened! I can't believe you guys are still sore about it!
Fluffy: But Prowl! They were laughing at us! And they were laughing at you too! Don't you have any pride? Weren't you embarrassed at all?
Spot: And for that matter, why did you volunteer to join us as the birthday balloons when you knew you were going to be laughed at?
Prowl: Because I was doing it for Akito! I admit I was a bit embarrassed but I had my dignity but I overlooked it, because I had a reason! To make Akito happy, that's all that mattered. And besides even if I didn't do it, you guys would have tried to do to me what you just did to Drakon and Fenrir anyway!
Spot: But…
[Fluffy and Spot couldn't answer. For they knew Prowl had a point]
Prowl: I think you guys need to start growing up and act like adults. Do it for Akito and most importantly yourselves.
Fluffy: But… But…
Prowl: Ah, ah, ah! But nothing! Think about what I said! Would you do the same thing to Raptor, Sheng-Long, and the others if they didn't participate in the event? Would you have done the same thing to the Road Rovers if they got off easy? And what about those who didn't laugh at us? Would you do the same to them too?
Spot: Well… Now that you mention it…
Prowl: Never mind about that! You two are in a lot of trouble! Now you owe Fenrir and Drakon an apology!
Fluffy: Awe do we have to?
Prowl: (firm) Yes, you have to! Now go ahead! Apologize!
Spot: (sighs) Okay… Drakon, Fenrir we're sorry.
Drakon: It's okay. To be honest we knew you were going to do this to us, so we decided to let you have your fun. Right Fenrir?
Fenrir: That's right. We knew all along.
Fluffy: What?!
Spot: But how?
Fenrir: We both have a keen sense of hearing. And we could hear everything you guys were planning on.
Drakon: But we decided to let you guys have your fun anyway.
Fenrir: Besides, we did find your situation humorous even though we didn't laugh.
[Fluffy and Spot look at each other in confusion]
Prowl: So you guys let this happen just for them? That's a bold move, I respect that.
Drakon: Thank you Prowl.
Prowl: I see… Still though, I do apologize for what happened to you guys. I guess these two got a bit carried away…
[Fluffy and Spot both place their paws in back of them in shame]
Drakon: We'll let it slide. After all it is April Fools.
Prowl: Hmmm… (scratches chin) Yes. You're right. It's the 1st of April. However…
[Prowl looks at Fluffy and Spot, who were both remorseful. They get down on their knees]
Fluffy: Please, don't punish us, Prowl!
Spot: We said we're sorry! Please go easy on us!
Prowl: Hmm…
Fenrir: Go easy on them, Prowl. They're still young. And they need someone like you to be their mentor and their teacher.
Drakon: I'm not much older, but I agree with Fenrir. In the end, those two are just a couple of overgrown puppies.
Prowl: I guess you're right. I could take them under my wing.
Spot: So… You mean?
Prowl: Yes, I'll be your mentor. But this still doesn't change what you guys did. I think the fair punishment for you and Fluffy is doing Drakon and Fenrir's chores until they get back to normal.
Spot: Oh! Come on! Do we really have to work every day?
Fluffy: My favorite show is on every night! I can't miss out on it!
Prowl: I'm sorry, but I cannot and will not excuse you. No games, and no TV for a whole week. Deal with it.
Spot and Fluffy: Aw…
Prowl: And no internet surfing either.
Spot: What?!
Fluffy: Come on man, have a heart!
[Prowl places his hands on his hips and clears his voice]
Prowl: Ahem!
Spot: Oh, all right.
Fluffy: So what should we do now?
Prowl: You can start by cleaning the dishes. All of them.
Fluffy: But that'll take hours!
Prowl: Then I guess you both better get started.
[Prowl snaps his fingers and points at the door to the mansion]
Spot: (ashamed) I guess we better get started, Fluffy. We're already in enough trouble as it is.
Fluffy: Alright.
[As the ashamed duo leave to carry out Prowl's orders, Prowl looks back at the inflated Fenrir and Drakon]
Prowl: (sigh) Kids… Well, I guess there's not much to do, except bring you guys over to Akito. Her magic will restore you to normal.
Drakon: I hope she has the antidote with her, it'll be much faster.
Prowl: Trust me, Drakon, Akito's magic is all we need. That's what she used to restore us to normal after her party. Remember?
Drakon: Well, whatever gets the job done.
[And so, Prowl grabs the ropes that Fluffy and Spot used, and drags the inflated Fenrir and Drakon with him to Akito. They reach Akito, who is hanging out with Sheng-Long, Raptor, and Snuggles. Upon seeing them, they all gasp in shock]
Akito: Master Fenrir? Drakon? What happened to you two?
Prowl: They allowed themselves to be inflated by Spot and Fluffy.
Akito: But why?
Fenrir: So they can get over with what happened during your birthday party.
Sheng-Long: Were they really so sore about it?
Snuggles: It sure seems like it, mon ami.
Prowl: I do apologize for this Akito. Those two have much to learn about growing up.
Akito: It's okay, at least it's over.
Sheng-Long: Akito, I think you should punish them for this. They went too far.
Prowl: There's no need for that, Sheng. I've already punished them. Hopefully they've learned their lesson.
Akito: What are going to have them do, Prowl?
Prowl: They will do cleaning up around the house for a whole week for what they've done, and I restricted them from watching TV, playing games, and going online.
Akito: Oh okay.
[Meanwhile, Fluffy and Spot are seen in the kitchen, wearing aprons, and cleaning up the dishes as Prowl ordered. And there was literally a whole pile of dirty dishes to be cleaned]
Fluffy: Man! This will take all day!
Spot: But we got to do them, Fluffy. We have no choice.
[Fluffy growls in frustration]
Fluffy: Damn it…
Spot: Hey, don't start, okay? There's nothing we can do about it! And besides, it's your fault for dragging us both into this mess!
Fluffy: Hey, don't pin all this on me, you're the one who came up with the idea!
Spot: Well you shouldn't have had that stupid idea of pulling a prank on someone to begin with!
Fluffy: If it was so stupid then why did you decide to go with it then?!
Spot: Because… Well…
Fluffy: Well?!
Spot: Oh what does it matter?! It doesn't change the fact that we're both grounded!
Fluffy: Oh really?!
Spot: Yes! And we shouldn't turn on each other.
Fluffy: Why not?!
Spot: Because think of how Akito would react if she saw us fighting with each other!
Fluffy: (gasps) Your right! If she would be very upset. And if that happens she won't give us belly rubs or scratch our ears.
Spot: That's right, Fluffy. So why don't we do the right thing and get back to work. Let's not fight anymore, okay? Let's be friends.
Fluffy: Okay Spot.
[Fluffy and Spot give each other a warm passionate hug]
Spot: Let's get these dishes done and fast!
Fluffy: Yeah!
Spot: Let's do it!
[And so the duo worked all day long, cleaning dish after dish after dish. In the midst of their activity, Fluffy spoke out]
Fluffy: Hey, Spot.
Spot: Yeah?
Fluffy: I hope we're still best friends. Because like you said, we've been friends ever since Parvo turned us into monsters and brought us together.
Spot: Of course, we'll always be best friends.
Fluffy: You sure?
Spot: Of course, buddy. Nothing can change that. Heck, I remember the day we were first brought together like it was only yesterday.
Fluffy: You do?
Spot: Yeah. Even though we were both enslaved and forced to do Parvo's bidding, something good came out of it; you and I were brought together as a duo. For that reason, I consider that a blessing. Of course, that's the only good thing he's ever done for us. But you get what I mean. Fate has brought us together. And that's a good thing. And now that we're in Akito's care, we can benefit others as well as ourselves. You're my best friend, Fluffy. Never forget that.
Fluffy: Thanks Spot. That means a lot.
Spot: Heh heh heh. You made a rhyme!
Fluffy: I sure did.
[The duo both laughed at this]
Spot: I'm so glad we don't work for Parvo anymore.
Fluffy: I second that, pal. I'm sure glad those days are over. That jerk treated us horribly. He didn't care about us at all. And he used us for his own personal gain. We were nothing to him.
Spot: Yeah, I hate him so much. And those no good creeps that were with him were no better.
Fluffy: You mean Dr. Psycho and Geist?
Spot: Not just them. Eva, the Groomer, and her mangy cats.
Fluffy: Oh yeah… Eva. What a nasty bitch she was with us. She was worse than Groomer. And I wonder whatever became of the Felomutants? Why they decided to remain evil? Why didn't they choose freedom when they were given the chance to?
Spot: That confuses me too, Fluffy. I guess that was their choice. And well, I guess we can't really do anything about that.
Fluffy: But Geist… I was so afraid of him… That guy has given me nightmares…
Spot: Yeah, Geist was one scary messed up Doberman.
Fluffy: I couldn't sleep because of him. And they call "us" monsters.
Spot: Geist took the cake. He was more of a monster than we will ever be. That's for sure.
Fluffy: Why was he so obsessed to vengeance against humans?
Spot: He believes that he lost his sanity because of them. It seems more like he already lost it without their help. Fluffy: Dang…
Spot: I know. It's scary.
Fluffy: Well, at least there was someone who put us to shame. We don't deserve to be called monsters. Right, Spot?
Spot: Yeah. I hated being called that.
Fluffy: We may not be the brightest. But we're not that dumb. We deserve love.
Spot: Well, my friend, that part of our life is over now. And we should focus on today. Because now we are no longer slaves to Parvo or Geist. At long last, we are finally free.
Fluffy: So tell me, what was your life like before you became a canomutant?
Spot: Well, I used to work at a fire station. And I was a helping dog for the fire fighters there. What about you, Fluffy? What was your life like before you became… What you are today?
Fluffy: I use to belong to a sweet old lady, she was very kind to me. I had everything I needed with her.
Spot: I see. Sounds like you had a very happy life.
Fluffy: Yeah…
Spot: So… What happened to her? You think she's still alive?
Fluffy: I'm not sure anymore. If she was, I would like to see her again one more time.
Spot: Oh Fluffy…
[Fluffy started shedding tears. Spot notices this, and comforts his friend]
Fluffy: (crying) I miss her so much…
Spot: I know. I bet she misses you a lot too.
Fluffy: (crying) I'm sorry, Spot. I'm just so emotional right now because I just remembered her. Oh it hurts… It hurts so much…
Spot: (embracing Fluffy) Shhh… There, there, pal. Don't worry. I'm sure she's okay. Besides, you still have me to keep you company.
[Just outside the kitchen was Akito and Prowl who had heard everything]
Akito: Poor Fluffy, I had no idea he had an owner before me.
Prowl: Yes, Akito. These poor unfortunate dogs have had it very rough. Parvo enslaved them to do his bidding. And Geist was not much better with them. I do feel sorry for them.
Akito: Maybe, we shouldn't be too hard of them.
Prowl: Maybe.
Akito: Well we should talk about it with the others first before we make it official. Agreed?
[Prowl places one paw on Akito's shoulder]
Prowl: Yes. Agreed.
[In the kitchen, Fluffy continued to cry on Spot's chest. And Spot was doing the best he could to comfort him]
Spot: Hey, Fluffy. Why don't we get back to work to take our mind off it? We can talk about it later. Right now we better finish cleaning these dishes.
Fluffy: (sniffles) Okay…
[And so the duo gets back to work. And they work hard and long on the remaining dishes that where piled up. Few hours later, they finish with the last dish]
Spot: That's the last one.
Fluffy: (sigh) Thank God. I'm getting tired.
Spot: Yeah and my hands feel a little numb.
Fluffy: Mine too.
Spot: But at least we're done.
[Fluffy and Spot both sit down together on the kitchen floor, tired and exhausted]
Fluffy: Whoa… This really wore me out…
Spot: Me too…
Akito's Voice: Tired?
[Fluffy and Spot both gasp, and look to where the voice was coming from. They see Akito and Prowl standing there]
Fluffy and Spot: (simultaneously) Oh! Akito!
Fluffy: We didn't notice you standing there!
Spot: We did all the dishes!
Prowl: We see that.
[Akito came up to them]
Akito: You two have done good.
[She scratches Fluffy's head and rubbed Spot's belly which they liked]
Fluffy: You're so sweet, Akito…
Akito: Well I'm glad you like it because if keep doing good, I'll give you more.
Spot: Well… Yes. Of course.
Akito: Now then just one more question, who's my good boys?
[The duo place their paws together, and answer simultaneously]
Fluffy and Spot: We are!
Akito: That's right.
Prowl: Why don't you two head back to your room and rest up?
Spot: Yes sir. Come on, Fluffy.
Fluffy: Right behind you!
[They head back to their rooms and when they laid down Spot took off his helmet]
Spot: Whew! Sometimes I don't know why I wear this thing.
Fluffy: You mean that helmet? Meh, I think it looks fine on you.
Spot: I mean yeah it goes with my outfit but it sometimes make me uncomfortably hot.
Fluffy: Oh… I see what you mean… Well then, maybe you should only wear it sparingly. Just a suggestion.
Spot: Well I think I'll do just that.
Fluffy: So what do you think Prowl and Akito will have us do next?
Spot: Not sure.
Fluffy: Well, something tells me we're not excused. Even after doing all those dishes. I wonder how Fenrir and Drakon are doing…
[Back with Fenrir and Drakon they were still bloated]
Drakon: Now I see why Vlad likes this.
Fenrir: Speaking of which where is he anyway?
[Suddenly, they hear a familiar voice]
Voice: This is so much fun! I'm as light as feather!
Snuggles: Looks like Vlad's inflated himself again.
Sheng-Long: Not only that, but he's grown an unhealthy obsession for it…
Raptor: You said it.
[Everyone watched as Vlad was floating several feet into the air, enjoying himself with a great sense of happiness]
Vlad: I'm large and round like giant parade balloon! And I'm flying with the birds!
Fenrir: (clears voice) Hello, Vlad.
Vlad: Oh, hello, comrades! What are you doing up here? And what happened to you? Did you decide to join me?
Drakon: Not really.
Vlad: No?
Fenrir: It's a long story. Drakon, why don't you tell him?
Drakon: Very well. You see Spot and Fluffy were still upset with us for getting off easy during Akito's birthday so they decided to inflate us, but we figured their little plan out but went with it so they can finally get over the incident.
Vlad: But that's not nice!
Fenrir: Yeah, but Prowl punished them for it.
Prowl: That's right, Vlad. Those two won't be getting off easy now that I'm onto them.
Vlad: Oh okay.
[Prowl turns to Akito]
Prowl: Have any suggestions, Akito?
Akito: Well we could have them clean the attic, that place needs a bit of tidying up anyway.
Prowl: Good idea. I'll have them do that first thing in the morning.
Raptor: What time is it right now?
[Akito looks at her watch]
Akito: It's 4:50 in the afternoon.
Drakon: Well then they better rest up.
Prowl: I'll make sure of that.
[Prowl leaves to attend to the canomutant duo. Meanwhile, Akito and the rest of the mutants stare up at the inflated Fenrir, Drakon, and Vlad, who were all floating together at the same height]
Akito: I'm so sorry about this, master Fenrir.
Fenrir: Don't be sorry, Akito. We took it with some dignity. Besides, this isn't all that bad. Although I don't share the same enthusiasm for it as Vlad here….
Drakon: That makes two of us.
Akito: As for you, Vlad… I need to have a talk with you…
Vlad: Uh oh…
Drakon: Oh boy.
Akito: What have I told you earlier?
Vlad: Well…
Akito: I specifically said that if you're a good bear, I would inflate you as your reward. Right?
Vlad: Well… Yes…
Akito: And you broke that promise, didn't you?
Vlad: Well… I… I…
Akito: What do you have to say for yourself?
Vlad: Please, Akito! I didn't mean to disobey you! Fluffy and Spot said that if I got them the formula, they would let me have some of it! It's just that I miss being this way! I'll make up for it! I promise!
Akito: I'm sure you will. But until then you're grounded.
Vlad: (shameful) Awww…
Akito: Raptor, go get Jasper and make sure he brings the antidote.
Raptor: Sure thing.
[Raptor leaves to go get Jasper]
Akito: Now we wait.
Raptor: Jasper, you're needed.
Jasper: Gee, I wonder what for…
Raptor: You already know the answer.
Jasper: I know, Raptor. I was being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure I know what the dilemma is.
Raptor: Then bring the antidote, we need it.
Jasper: What's the rush?
Raptor: Please, Jasper. This isn't the time for jokes.
Jasper: Keep your speedo on, Raptor. The effects of Expando 5000 are not life threatening. Although it's foolish to abuse it. But if my services are needed so bad, then I shall assist.
[Jasper brings the antidote with him, and accompanies Raptor outside of the mansion where Akito and the others were waiting]
Akito: Ah there you are.
[Jasper looks up at Fenrir, Drakon, and Vlad. While he was surprised to see the werewolf and the komodo in that situation, he was not too surprised to see Vlad that way]
Jasper: Well, Akito. I will gladly restore Fenrir and Drakon back to normal. Although Vlad seems to be enjoying himself. Are you sure you want me to restore him too? The formula I gave him is a modified version that only last for a few days.
Akito: Well when you put it like that, then alright but he's going to give back the potions he was given today, he lied about being good.
Jasper: I see. Well, makes perfect sense to me. I'll be taking those back then.
Akito: You know where to look.
Vlad: No! Please! Don't!
Jasper: I'm sorry, Vlad. But if you don't go by the rules, no Expando 5000 for you.
Akito: And unless you promise me to be good, you won't have it. Understand?
[Vlad shamefully nods his head "yes"]
Jasper: Well then, it's time to restore you all back to normal.
[Jasper uses a spray gun containing the antidote, and sprays it on Fenrir, Drakon, and Vlad]
Drakon: Thank goodness. I was starting to feel a little lightheaded.
[Fenrir, Drakon, and Vlad shrink back to normal size. And they each land on their feet]
Fenrir: Finally, back to normal.
Sheng-Long: Yes. Although admittedly… You did look kind of funny…
Drakon: I'm sure we did…
Akito: Thank you for your help Jasper.
Jasper: Think nothing of it, child. It's the least I could do. Besides, I bet you must be worn out from using your magic and all. Besides, even you need a break every now and then. And that's why I created such an antidote.
Fenrir: I see. Well in all honesty, it wasn't so bad. Although it did feel funny at first.
Akito: Well, let's just hope Prowl is getting through to Spot and Fluffy.
Fenrir: Oh, I'm sure they've learned their lesson.
Akito: For their sake they better have.
Fenrir: Don't worry. I'm sure they have. They are good dogs. A little immature. But they're good dogs.
[Meanwhile, back in Fluffy and Spot's room, the duo are still chatting]
Fluffy: Well, today's been quite a day.
Spot: Yeah.
[Suddenly, they hear knocking on the door. This startles them both]
Spot: Whose there?
Prowl: It's me.
[Spot goes to open the door to see Prowl standing before him. He answers nervously]
Spot: Yes, Prowl?
Prowl: I have your next chore for tomorrow.
Spot: Yeah? What's that?
Prowl: Cleaning the whole attic.
Spot: Oh, well… That shouldn't be a problem. Right, Fluffy?
Fluffy: Yeah! Right! We can handle that!
Prowl: But as I said, that's your chore tomorrow so rest up.
Spot: Yes. Gotcha. Well, you heard him, Fluffy.
Fluffy: Right.
Prowl: Then I suggest you both get plenty of rest. Because tomorrow, you're both working 24 hours straight.
Fluffy: The whole day?!
Prowl: Well… Actually, it depends on how fast you can get the job done.
Spot: True…
Prowl: Well, you guys know the drill. So be ready.
Fluffy and Spot: (simultaneously) You got it.
[Prowl leaves the room]
Prowl: Better get back to Akito and the others.
Spot: Well, you heard him, Fluffy. We'd better be ready for tomorrow morning.
Fluffy: (sigh) I know…
Spot: Well, look at it this way; it will be over before you know it.
Fluffy: Yeah, I guess you're right. Things could be worse.
Spot: Uh huh. But let's not go there. We better not let anybody catch us staying up all night. Or else Prowl will give us an even worse punishment.
[Prowl returns to Akito and the others]
Akito: So how did it go?
Prowl: I got through to them. And I made sure to send them to bed so they'll be fresh for their next assignment.
Akito: I see. That's good to know. But I hope you weren't too rough with them.
Prowl: Not really.
Sheng-Long: If there's one thing I know about Prowl, is that he is firm and strict. But he believes in fairness. Believe me, I've known him long enough to know that.
Drakon: We're well aware of that.
Raptor: No doubt.
Prowl: It's good to know you have that kind of insight though, Sheng. That's one of your strengths. Well anyway, Spot and Fluffy have been given their assignment. And I made sure they get to bed early.
Akito: I love those two. They're so much like little kids.
Drakon: You're still a kid.
Akito: I know. But they remind me so much of myself when I was younger.
Fenrir: I bet so.
Snuggles: But I feel sorry for Fluffy. He's had it bad since he was first mutated. But in fact, we all had it bad. We were taken from our families and forced into slave labor.
Akito: Yeah.
Prowl: I'm well aware of that, Snuggles. But I believe its time to put that behind us now. Besides, we've all been given a new life. Thanks to Akito.
Drakon: But it was you, Prowl, that showed us the light.
Fenrir: Indeed. If it wasn't for you, the rest of you probably wouldn't have had that change of heart.
Akito: And I'm glad to have you all as my friends and family. You all mean everything to me.
Drakon: And the same goes to you.
Prowl: Well, it's getting dark. I think it's time we all head on back to the mansion.
Akito: Agreed.
Sheng-Long: You guys go on ahead. I think I'll stay out here for a little while. I love the night so. It's the time when I feel most active. I am a cat after all.
Akito: Very well, take care Sheng.
Prowl: Enjoy yourself, Sheng. But try not to stay up too late.
Fenrir: We've got stuff to do tomorrow. Just a reminder.
Sheng-Long: Sure thing, guys. But in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the night.
[Sheng-Long jumps into the air, and disappears into the night]
Akito: He sure knows how to make an exit.
Drakon: I'll say. Cats sure are interesting creatures.
Fenrir: Well, I suggest we all get some rest. It's late.
[And so, everybody (except Sheng-Long) goes back into the mansion. Meanwhile, the tiger is seen standing on top of the mansion, admiring the beauty of the moon]
Sheng-Long: (thinking) {I never thought it'd be so good to be free. Life was different when we were Parvo and Dr. Psycho's mercenaries. And I was different back then. I seemed to have changed. But… Some part of me misses the thrill of battle… I wonder… What more is there to this life than that? Maybe I'm thinking too deep into it. Oh well. It's a different time now. And I should be grateful that we're in Akito's care}
[The next morning, Fluffy's alarm clock goes off. He accidently smashes it]
Fluffy: Oops! I did it again!
Spot: Yeah, and that's the fifth clock you destroyed! That's a waste you know.
Fluffy: Oh shoot! What time is it?
Spot looks at the clock on the wall, and sees that it's 6:30AM.
Spot: It's 6:30! We'd better get ready.
Fluffy: Yeah. Good idea.
[And so, the duo jump out of bed, and hit the showers. Once they've finished showering, they don their respective outfits. Fluffy puts on his signature bluish black bodysuit, ankle cuffs, and buckles his belt. Spot places on his chest plate, gloves and boots. He slips on his black speedo, buckles his belt, and places on his helmet. But then he paused for a moment]
Spot: Wait… We're only doing chores today… I won't need this.
[Spot removes his helmet and places it on the nightstand]
Fluffy: It'll be different seeing you without your helmet, but hey, change is good.
Spot: True. But hey, it's not like we're going to be doing any fighting.
Fluffy: Good point.
[Suddenly, the duo hear Prowl's voice]
Prowl: Spot! Fluffy! Are you two up?
Spot: Of course we are Prowl!
[Spot and Fluffy race out of their room, and hurry down the stairs to where Prowl was waiting for them. As they rushed down the stairs, they stumble and trip in a cartoony fashion, and land on their backs before the alligator's feet]
Prowl: So clumsy…
Fluffy: Sorry, sir!
Spot: We got here as soon as we could!
Prowl: I see.
Fluffy and Spot: (chuckles)
Prowl: On your feet!
Fluffy and Spot: Yes sir!
[They get up and stand straight]
Prowl: Okay now. Here's all the tools you'll need to clean the attic with…
[Prowl gives the duo two brooms, two dust pans, two dusters,
and several garbage bags]
Spot: Is this all we need?
[Prowl places one of his clawed hands on his chin and thinks]
Prowl: Hmmm… (snaps fingers) Wait! I know what's missing!
Fluffy: What?
[The alligator hands the duo two mops, cleaning sponges, and some cleaning solution]
Prowl: There. That should do it. You're all set.
Spot: Okay…
[Fluffy and Spot look at each other]
Prowl: Okay, guys. Get started. You got a long hard day ahead of you.
Spot and Fluffy: Yes sir.
[The duo make their way to the attic, and get to work. They work as hard as they can. But even so, they are not quite happy working in such a dirty place. Fluffy sneezes]
Fluffy: ACHOO! Wow, this place is dirty.
Spot: Yeah, when was the last time this place was cleaned?
Fluffy: Gosh, I don't know. Since we came here I guess?
Spot: Well, if we want to get this done soon, we'd better get back to work.
Fluffy: Agreed. But we can still talk, right?
Spot: Sure, pal. But what do you want to talk about?
Fluffy: Well…
Spot: Yeah? Go on. I'm listening.
Fluffy: Well, even though I don't much like our situation, at least it's better than being with that creep Parvo or that maniac Geist.
Spot: Well to be honest, we did bring this upon ourselves.
Fluffy: (sigh) Yeah. I'm really sorry about that, bud. It's mostly my fault. I got carried away.
Spot: Eh… Don't worry about it. You're not the only one at fault. I helped out. Remember?
Fluffy: I guess you're right. But… I'm curious. Why did you help me out anyway?
Spot: Well… Because… I guess I was bored. And I just wanted to have some fun. But it doesn't matter now.
Fluffy: I see. So I guess you couldn't resist, huh?
Spot: Yeah, what are friends for? I figured that if you were gonna get in trouble, I might as well join you.
Fluffy: I guess so. But still, at least this is better than being slave labor for a power hungry cat and a psychopathic Doberman.
Spot: I couldn't agree with you more. But let's focus on the job at hand.
Fluffy: Right…
Spot: Let's get to it.
[And so the duo get to work on cleaning the attic. They work hard all day long. Sweeping and mopping the floor, sweeping the dust away, scrubbing the dirty areas on the shelves, getting rid of spider webs, cleaning the windows, getting rid of the garbage that doesn't belong there, and making the place as nice and clean as they could possibly get it to look. Both dogs were tired. But they knew that there was still some dirt here and there. And they needed a better way to get rid of it]
Fluffy: Well, looks like we cleaned the place up nicely.
Spot: Yeah! Though, I do see some dirt here and there.
Fluffy: Oh?
Spot: Yeah, we're going to need a vacuum cleaner for those areas. Fluffy, why don't you go get Prowl, ask him if there's a vacuum cleaner around here?
Fluffy: Sure thing, pal.
Spot: And be careful not to trip on the way down. Don't forget what happened earlier.
Fluffy: Right.
Spot: Don't take too long.
[And so, Fluffy went to go see Prowl, while Spot stayed in the attic]
Fluffy: Hey, Prowl. I need to ask you something.
Prowl: What is it Fluffy?
[Fluffy places both paws behind him]
Fluffy: Well, Spot and I have cleaned up most of the attic. But we need a vacuum cleaner for some of those hard to reach spots. Do you know where we can find one of those?
Prowl: Hall closet, it's the black door.
Fluffy: Thanks, Prowl. You're a great guy.
Prowl: And I know who to thank for making me so.
Fluffy: Whose that?
Prowl: Who else? Akito.
Fluffy: Oh yes… Right… Sorry… (scratches head) But did you say you kind of discovered the goodness in yourself?
Prowl: Yes. But I'll tell you that another day. Right now you got to get back to work. Focus on that for now.
Fluffy: Okay. I got it.
Prowl: Good.
[And so Fluffy hurries over to where Prowl directed him to, and gets the vacuum. He then races back upstairs to the attic where Spot was waiting for him]
Fluffy: Okay, Spot. Here it is.
Spot: Great.
Fluffy: So, how do you work this thing?
Spot: You mean you don't know how to use a vacuum?
Fluffy: Well, I know how to use blasters and drive vehicles. But… That's about it…
Spot: Vacuums are easy to use, here let me show you.
Fluffy: Okay.
[Spot takes the cord]
Spot: See, you take this cord, and plug it into an electrical socket. Like this.
[Spot puts the plug inn the socket]
Fluffy: Oh.
Spot: Then you turn it on, like this.
[Spot flips the switch on]
Fluffy: Ah! It's so loud!
Spot: Ahh!
[Both canomutants cover their ears as the vacuum cleaner runs around wildly out of control]
Fluffy: Make it stop!
Spot: I can't! It's too loud!
[The out of control vacuum zooms everywhere, and knocks down Spot and Fluffy]
Fluffy: It's going to kill us!
Spot: Oh crap! Here it comes again!
[The vacuum starts swerving around the duo and ties them up]
Fluffy: Really?!
Spot: This is ridiculous!
[Suddenly, Prowl comes into the room]
Prowl: What's going on?!
Spot: Hi Prowl. (chuckles nervously)
Prowl: (face palms) Oh whatever am I going to do with you two?
[The alligator comes over to the tied up duo, and turns off the vacuum]
Spot: Thanks Prowl.
[Prowl crosses his arms]
Prowl: Come on you two! Quit playing around!
Fluffy: We weren't playing around. The vacuum gave us a bit of a scare.
[Prowl looked at the duo weirdly]
Prowl: Really?
Spot: Well what do you expect? We're dogs.
Prowl: (chuckles) Yes. I can see that. But you both are much bigger than you used to be. A vacuum shouldn't scare you at all. Aren't you ashamed?
Fluffy: Well…
Prowl: Let me help you guys out.
[Prowl unties Spot and Fluffy]
Spot: Thanks. But…
Prowl: Tell you what, I'll give you a short break for now.
Spot: Thanks Prowl.
Prowl: You're welcome. I may be strict and serious most of the times. But even I know mercy. You guys can play games for a full hour. But then it's back to work. Do we have a deal?
Fluffy: Of course!
Spot: You're the best!
Prowl: Uh huh. Have fun while you can. But remember, you only have an hour.
Spot: Sure thing. We'll remember.
[Fluffy and Spot race back into their room. Fluffy turns on a video game for them both to play]
Fluffy: What do you want to play, Spot?
Spot: How about… A race car game?
Fluffy: I want to try that Hot Wheels game.
Spot: Sure! Why not?
Fluffy: Aw yeah! I'm so going to win this time!
Spot: Wanna bet?
[Spot and Fluffy grab their controllers, and start the game. As they begin the game, they see the countdown beginning. 3… 2… 1… Go!]
Fluffy: Go time!
Spot: Right on!
[The two canomutants enjoy their fun time together. Back with Prowl Akito soon joined him]
Akito: Hey there Prowl.
Prowl: Oh. Hello, Akito. How are you today?
Akito: I'm fine. How are Spot and Fluffy?
Prowl: I'm giving them some time off for a little while. I figured they could use a break.
Akito: That was nice of you.
Prowl: It's the least I could do for them.
Akito: Well they did a pretty good job with the attic.
Prowl: Yes. Mostly. Except for that vacuum part. They could use some help with that.
Akito: Their big dogs and their afraid of a noisy vacuum?
Prowl: Yes, apparently. I guess Drakon was right when he told me that those two are basically overgrown puppies.
Akito: Sure seems that way.
[Prowl chuckles]
Prowl: But I guess that's what makes them so special.
Akito: You can say that again.
[Sheng-Long comes in]
Sheng-Long: (yawns) Oh, hey guys.
Akito: Hi there Sheng.
[Akito runs up to Sheng and gives him a hug]
Sheng-Long: Awe… You know I always enjoy your sweet warm hugs…
Akito: That's good to know. By the way, how did you get your fur to be this soft?
Sheng-Long: I do my own self-grooming. It's what cats do to stay clean.
Akito: I see…
Sheng-Long: And I brush my fur as well. That's why its so soft. You like how I feel?
Akito: I sure do.
Sheng-Long: Well that's good. Do get comfortable.
Akito: Oh I am.
Prowl: So, any ideas on what else we can do?
Akito: Not sure.
Prowl: Well, Spot and Fluffy still have 30 more minutes of free time. Then it's back to work for them.
Sheng: You sure do know how to lay down the rules, man.
Prowl: True. I am strict and firm when it comes to rules.
Sheng-Long: Indeed. I always did admire that in you.
Akito: Well other than Fenrir and Drakon, you are the most mature in this mansion.
Prowl: What can I say, Akito? Wisdom and maturity are two of my virtues.
Akito: They sure are.
Prowl: It's also thanks to you and Tsunami, that I was able to find the goodness in me.
Sheng-Long: Why Tsunami?
Prowl: Because, if you remember, he was the first of us to betray Dr. Psycho and Geist. He also was a member of the MAS. And he set the example for us all. And one time, he even told me that the path I was walking would lead me nowhere. Tsunami was right. So we have him to thank for showing us the door, and Akito for giving us a place to call home.
Akito: Looks like we both did a good job.
Prowl: That you both did.
Akito: Yep. I'm glad I was able to help you all out.
Sheng-Long: And we are all very grateful.
Prowl: That we are, my friend.
Akito: So, are you going to go check on the boys?
Prowl: Oh right.
Akito: Don't be too hard on them, okay?
Prowl: Don't worry, Akito. I know what I'm doing.
Akito: Alright, I'll trust you.
[The alligator walks upstairs to the duo's room. He peeks through the door to see them both having a great time together with their video game]
Spot: Aw yeah!
Fluffy: Woohoo! I'm gonna beat you!
Spot: No you're not! I'm in first place!
Fluffy: No! You're in second place! I'm in first place!
Spot: In your dreams!
[While peeking through the door, Prowl thought to himself]
Prowl: (thinking) {Just as Drakon said. They may be big mutant dogs. But deep down, they're just little kids}
Fluffy: I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it!
Spot: Not before I do!
Fluffy: Dream on, Spot!
Spot: Yes! Yes! I'm gonna make it!
[They both tied]
Spot and Fluffy: DOH!
Prowl: They sound just like Homer.
Fluffy: Oh damn! I was so close!
Spot: So was I! Damn it!
[Spot throws his controller to the ground]
Fluffy: Hey careful, those things don't grow on tree!
Spot: But I was so close!
Fluffy: So? I was close to the finish line too!
Spot: No you weren't!
Fluffy: Yes I was!
Spot: No you weren't!
Fluffy: Yes I was!
Prowl: Seriously?
[As the duo continue arguing, Prowl decided it was time to get down to business. The tall alligator makes his way into the room, and clears his throat]
Spot and Fluffy: (gasps) Prowl!
Prowl: Yes. I hope you boys enjoyed yourselves while you could. Because it's been about an hour now.
Spot: Already?
Prowl: Yes. I'm afraid so.
Spot: Aw man.
Fluffy: Can't we have just five more minutes?
Prowl: I'm sorry. But that's all the time you have for leisure. Now it's back to chores.
[Spot and Fluffy look at each other. Then to Prowl]
Spot: Okay… Come on, Fluffy. Let's get back to work.
Fluffy: Oh alright.
Spot: Later Prowl.
[Fluffy and Spot return to the attic, where they resume their clean up duties]
Fluffy: Man, it sure is boring.
Spot: Yeah. I know. But we better do as Prowl says.
Fluffy: (sighs) I know…
[After a few more hours, the duo finally cleaned up the attic, and this time the place was nice, tidy, and spotless. By then, they were both pretty exhausted]
Spot: Finally. We're done.
Fluffy: Whew. What a day.
Spot: Yeah, I'm sure glad that's over.
Fluffy: You and me both.
Spot: So what now?
Fluffy: I don't know. You're the one who usually comes up with an idea.
Spot: True, true.
[Suddenly, the duo hear Akito's voice]
Akito: Oh Fluffy… Oh Spot…
Fluffy: It's Akito.
Spot: What do you need?
Akito: Oh nothing much. I just wanted to ask you if you two have been good boys, and have done all the chores that Prowl ordered.
Spot: Yes, we have.
Akito: Good boys, both of you.
Fluffy: (chuckles)
[Akito pets them both on the head]
Akito: I like you better without your helmet, Spot. It's easier for me to pet you.
Spot: You really think I look better without it?
Akito: Yes, Spot. I think so. You look so much cuter.
Spot: Why thank you, Akito.
[Spot hugs Akito gently. And Akito kisses Spot on the cheek]
Fluffy: Hey! What about me?
Akito: Be patient.
[She hugs Fluffy and kisses him on the cheek]
Fluffy: Thank you!
Akito: You're welcome.
Spot: So what's up, Akito? Were you looking for us?
Akito: I knew where you were.
Spot: Oh?
Fluffy: But why? What's up?
Akito: Just checking on you guys.
Fluffy: Oh, well that's nice.
Akito: And since you guys did a great job cleaning this place up, you get the rest of the day off.
[The duo both gasp]
Spot and Fluffy: Really?! We do?!
Akito: Of course.
Fluffy: Okay then. Well, I think we'll be heading off to our room now.
Spot: See you, Akito!
Akito: You sure you don't want to hang with the others?
Spot and Fluffy: Huh?
Spot: What are the others doing?
Akito: Oh their just relaxing.
[The duo look to each other, and then to Akito]
Spot: Well, okay. I guess we can join in.
Fluffy: Yeah, it couldn't hurt.
Akito: Thank you boys.
Fluffy: By the way, you don't mind if I give you a piggy back ride?
Akito: I don't mind.
[And so, the Cocker-Spaniel placed Akito over his shoulders. And then the three of them made their way happily to where everybody else was awaiting them]
Prowl: Ah, your here. So I take the attic is completely clean?
Spot: Oh yes sir! It's all clean!
Fluffy: We didn't even leave so much as a single spot!
Prowl: Good, and I'll agree with Akito to let you take the rest of the day off to relax with us.
Spot: (smiling) Sure! No problem!
Akito: You guys can sit with me.
Spot: Okay!
[Spot sat beside Akito on one side while Fluffy sat beside her on the other side]
Akito: I hope you guys are comfortable.
Fluffy: Oh, we are.
Prowl: It's nice of you two to join us by the way. We're all glad you could make it.
Spot: Why? Did you have something special in mind?
Akito: Maybe…
[Spot and Fluffy look towards Akito with confused expressions]
Fluffy: What do you mean maybe?
Spot: Yeah, surely there's a reason why we were invited here with the rest of the guys.
Akito: Would you believe if I said it's just to hang out with my favorite group of mutants?
[Spot and Fluffy paused for a moment]
Fluffy: Well, since you put it that way, I guess it couldn't hurt.
Spot: Yeah. What's the worst thing that could happen?
Akito: Exactly.
[Akito grins mischievously and gets out a flask of the Expando 5000, she casts a spell on it then, the potion turned into aroma and the mutants all inhaled it through their nose but they only picked up the scent of flowers]
Raptor: Huh. What's that?
Sheng-Long: I'm not sure…
Fluffy: I don't know, but it smelled wonderful.
Spot: What was that?
Vlad: Maybe it's the scent of the flowers.
Jasper: Well we are near a field of them.
Akito: You'll find out… In five… Four… Three… Two… One…
[Suddenly the mutants waistlines began to expand and then in a few seconds then they began bloat and expand greatly in size. They start floating 5 feet in the air]
Spot: Hey! What the?!
Fluffy: Oh no! Not again!
Jasper: How did this happen?
Sheng-Long: Akito! You said you wouldn't do this to us again!
Akito: I said I would try not to do this to you, but I guess temptation got the better of me once again.
Prowl: Actually, I told her that I wouldn't mind being inflated like this again just one last time. Just to satisfy Akito's wishes.
Akito: Yeah, but I could have said no, but as I said, I gave into temptation.
Fluffy: So you did it to us just because you wanted to?!
Akito: (giggles) Yes.
Prowl: I see. Well, I don't mind either way. So as long as you get to satisfy your desires, Akito.
Sheng-Long: So you don't mind being blown up for the second time?
Prowl: Well, it could be worse.
Drakon: I agree. It's not so bad really.
Fenrir: And I'm happy that Akito is having a good time. She's still very young. And she deserves to have fun.
Spot and Fluffy: Awe!
Akito: (giggles)
Spot: So… How long are you gonna keep us like this?
Akito: Until tomorrow.
Jasper: At least it beats a week.
Vlad: I wouldn't mind a week.
Sheng-Long: I do mind a week…
Prowl: (chuckles) Well, Akito. If you want to keep us like this forever, then that's fine with me. I don't mind staying like this as long as you are happy.
Mutants: WHAT?!
Sheng-Long: Are you kidding?!
Fluffy: You can't be serious!
Spot: Please tell us your joking Prowl! You don't want to stay like this forever! None of us do!
Prowl: (chuckles) I was just kidding guys.
Drakon: Well, I didn't know you had a sense of humor Prowl.
Akito: I always knew he had one.
Fenrir: Indeed he does.
Kashi: And I thought Prowl was always serious.
Raptor: Guess we were all wrong about that.
Fluffy: He's always so bossy with us.
Spot: Shhh! Fluffy!
Fluffy: Oops! Sorry!
Prowl: But you guys are both lucky that I'm more forgiving than either Parvo, Dr. Psycho, or even Geist could ever be.
Spot: You made your point, Prowl. We couldn't agree with you : So then, just for one day. And I promise that this will be the last time I do this to you guys. Do we have a deal?
Mutants: Deal.
Akito: Good! You guys are the best!
Drakon: Anything to make you happy Akito.
Kashi: Yeah.
Smokey: We love you, Akito.
Akito: I love you guys too.
Fluffy: You're very sweet.
Spot: So… What now?
Akito: We could go for a walk.
Vlad: Okay! That sounds like fun!
Fenrir: I can live with that.
Akito: (smiles) Okay then! Shall we?
Drakon: We need strings first.
Akito: Strings? Oh that won't be necessary. I'll use leashes like from before.
Spot: But there's so many of us! You won't be able to walk us all at the same time!
Akito: But I won't have to. That's why I have some friends to do that for me.
[She whistles and out comes Chomper, Rex, Kashi, and Smokey]
Kashi: Yes, Akito?
Smokey: How we may be of service?
Akito: I need your help with carrying these guys during the walk.
Chomper: Okay consider it done.
Rex: Anything for a sweet little peach like you.
Spot: Now here's something you don't see every day… Us being walked by lesser mutants…
Akito: Hey! Don't use that word! It's demoralizing.
Spot: (gasp) Sorry! I didn't mean that! It's just that…
Fenrir: Spot. You know they deserve a break after everything they've been through.
Snuggles: Oui! Show some respect!
Jasper: Maybe we should call them normal or average then.
Chomper: We demand respect!
Smokey: Yeah!
Akito: Now, now boys. Settle down. I'm sure Spot didn't mean what he said. Right, Spot?
Spot: Yeah, I take it back. I'm sorry. Honest.
Rex: Okay, we'll forgive you.
Fluffy: I hope you mean it.
Spot: I do! I do!
Akito: Well then boys, let's get started!
Kashi: Okay! I call Drakon and Prowl.
Smokey: I'll take Vlad, Fluffy, and Spot.
Chomper: I'll take Jasper and Raptor.
Rex: I'll take Snuggles and Sheng.
Akito: Looks like your with me, Master.
Fenrir: (chuckles) And so it shall be, Akito. Well, let's go. I'm ready.
Fenrir: Okay, let's get started.
Sheng-Long: Oh boy. Here we go again.
Snuggles: Just deal with it, Sheng! It will be over soon!
Fluffy: I guess it serves us right for playing a prank. Huh, Spot?
Spot: Yeah.
Prowl: Well, Drakon, looks like you and I are going to be together for this ride.
Drakon: Hey us cold bloods have to stick together.
Prowl: Well said.
[And so, Akito, and the lesser mutants all walk their way out of the mansion and into the neighborhood with their selection of inflated anthros. Some took it more lightly than others. But even so, they all endured, and tried their best to enjoy the moment while it lasted. But one thing is for sure; Akito was having a tremendously wonderful time walking her master Fenrir, who happily floats by her side. And needless to say, the non-inflated mutants were just as happy]
