103/104 10: More Old Friends.
Meanwhile, at the Paris, Texas park, Lois and Clark were sitting on a bench together while the 27 year old was on her smart phone, viewing the trailer of the new movie '104 DALMATIANS 2.' After stopping at Ward's Restaurant and ordering a pizza for themselves and for the kids and the dogs, the couple had decided to head over for the park and relax for a little while.
##################################################################################
On the screen of Lois's phone were words written in blue, ON THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, (2022).
The scene then cut a group of people standing in line outside a theater at night time. Among the people were Jeremy, Linda and Kendal Lewis and their seven week old liver spotted dog, Copper.
The scene then cut the another set of blue words: SOMETHING INCREDIBLE.
Kendal, played by Brandon Cool, and Linda, Jeremy and Copper all walked up to the ticket booth, ready to pay their way in.
"Three tickets, please." Said Jeremy to the lady in the ticket booth.
"I'm sorry, sir, no pets allowed." Said the lady.
"I'm a firefighter and Copper here is my firehouse dog. He goes with me and my family wherever we go in case of emergancies." Jeremy explained.
"Well, if that's the case, go right in." Said the lady before handing Jeremy the three tickets.
"Thank you, ma'am." Said Jeremy before he, Linda, Kendal and Copper went inside the theater.
The scene the cut to more blue words: IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
Male announcer: "When Kendal's family decided to move to London, England..."
The scene changes to a firehouse, and inside the building, in the kitchen, Jeremy, Linda and Kendal, with Copper sitting in his lap, were all sitting at the dinner table, ready to eat supper.
"We're moving?!" Kendal gasped. "NO! I won't go!" He said, standing up from the table.
Male announcer: "there was just one thing they couldn't have."
At an animal shelter, Kendal and Copper were in the back yard, inside a cage, saying goodbye to each other.
"I'm so sorry, Copper." Said Kendal.
The scene then cuts to a plane flying in the sky, heading for the United Kingdom. The scene then changed to Linda, Jeremy, Kendal, Donna and Amanda exiting the cab at a spooky castle-like house.
Male announcer: "One has left the United Kingdom."
"He's the best dog in the whole wide world." Said Kendal, showing his aunt Cindy a picture of his dog, Copper.
"I'm sure he is, but as you know, this place doesn't allow pets." Said Cindy.
Male announcer: "And one...was left behind."
At the animal shelter, Copper hopped over the man and closed the cage door, locking him inside. The liver-spotted Dalmatian puppy then took off running.
Male announcer: "And..."
The scene then cuts to a grey metal square box, with a blue parachute, floating down from the sky.
Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive, the Miller puppies, exited the box and looked around.
"Where are we?" Dice asked.
"It's a dream come true. We're in the big apple." Said Max.
Male announcer: "America's four favorite puppies are back."
The scene then changed to Copper and the Miller puppies facing each other.
"There's four of you, and you just dropped from the sky?" Said Copper.
"This is Mickey, Max and Olive. I'm Dice."
"Name's Copper. And i'm a liver-spotted Dalmatian."
The scene then cut to Kendal, Izzy and Chase standing outside the London school.
"They wouldn't do this if Copper were here." Said Kendal.
"Who's Copper?" Izzy asked.
"My dog. He's a liver-spotted Dalmatian. And a firehouse dog." Said Kendal.
The scene then cut to Kendal standing at the open front door of 2nd Chance Dog Shelter, with Linda, Jeremy, Donna and Amanda and a man.
"My name is officer Smith. I work for the London city pound. I'm here to collect your dog." Said the man.
"They're gonna take away you're stupid do." Amanda mocked.
"You're arresting Copper?" Kendal asked.
Male announcer: "And are facing their greatest adventure ever."
The scene then changed to Kendal running through an alley, away from the 2nd Chance Dog Shelter. The scene then cut to him holding his now unzipped pale brown backpack, with Copper sitting inside it.
"Don't worry, boy. I won't let them take you away from me ever again." Said Kendal.
"Can we help?" Came a voice from behind.
Kendal turned to see Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive standing behind him.
"This is our problem. You guys don't have to get involved." Said Kendal.
"Some times helping others is the surest way to help yourself." Said Max.
"All in favor of helping Kendal and Copper say i." Said Mickey.
"I!" Said Dice, Mickey and Max in unison.
Olive barked, agreeing with her brothers.
"We can do this." Said Kendal.
Male announcer: "From the director that brought you The Texas 104 Dalmatians,...comes the sequel."
The scene then cut to the dog pound at night, where Kendal, Izzy, Chase, Cindy and the dogs are standing outside.
"Look!" Said Chase.
Izzy looked to the left and saw a black limo shinning it's bright light on Kendal and the puppies. "A limo?"
The limo then zoomed forward, causing Kendal and the puppies to scatter in different directions. The vehicle then cut Copper off, blocking his path. The driver door opened and the driver grabbed ahold of Copper, pulling him inside the car with them.
"Hey! Let him go!" Said Kendal before the limo sped off.
"You okay, Kendal?" Cindy asked.
"They took Copper!" Said Kendal.
The scene then cuts the the title of the movie, with the word Disney's being written in cursive blue. The trims around the number 104 were blue, the inside of the number was white, the spots on the number were brown, and the word DALMATIANS, and the number 2, were written in blue.
Male announcer: "Disney's 104 DALMATIANS 2. Coming To Theaters May 5'th."
##################################################################################
Lois then logged out of the internet and turned off her smart phone.
"I'll wait for the DVD." Said Clark.
"So what do you think happened?" Lois asked.
"What?" Clark asked.
"Stacy being released early? How do you think she got off on early probation?" Said Lois.
"Well, let's look at the mystery person who got her off, shall we?" Said Clark.
"Who?" Lois asked.
"The mystery person. You know, the new mayor she mentioned? She said the new mayor of Paris, Texas was the one who sprung her from the slammer." Said Clark.
"Well, yeah, that's true, but the question still remains: Who is the new mayor...and why would they bail Stacy out of prison?" Said Lois.
"Who knows? It could be anybody. But i think i have an answer for your second question. Wanna hear it?" Clark asked.
"Sure. Fire away." Said Lois.
"Okay...this whole 104 Dalmatians thing started because of Stacy, right?" Said Clark.
"Wrong. If you read Gigi's first book, and watch the movie, you would know that this all started because of Cruella." Said Lois.
"Well, yeah, she's partly to blame, but if you look at the fact that she blackmailed Stacy into helping her and Stacy didn't go to the police about the matter,...it all started because of her. She was the one who started the 104 Dalmatians fiasco...not Cruella." Said Clark. "But anyway, back to my answer. The way i see it, this unknown mystery person is out to do either 1 or 2 things. 1: To get even with Gigi and Rex. Or 2: To make a real life finale. You know, get in touch with Disney to make a movie off of this and add it as the fourth, final installment to the 104 Dalmatians movies."
"Clark, there hasn't even been a third movie made off of the incident that happened over in India last year. Why would anyone wanna make another 'real life installment' when there is no third movie?" Lois asked.
"Well, i read online somewhere that the third movie, 104 Dalmatians 3, is in the works this year and is schedualed to be released in (2025). So there you have it. Trilogy in the works equels real life finale." Said Clark.
"Why does it have to be a real life finale? Why can't it just be another real life installment?" Lois asked.
"Because there's already been a first movie, a sequel and a trilogy. All that's left is a real life finale." Said Clark.
"What makes you so sure that another installment to the Dalmatians franchise is the motive behind Stacy's release?" Lois asked.
Clark: "Well, let's look at Gigi's three books and everything that's happened these past four years. In (2020), Cruella De ViL came here to the United States and stole 104 Dalmatians from the state of Texas..."
"And kidnapped Gigi's son." Lois added.
"And kidnapped Gigi's son, with Stacy's help. The same year that the incident happened, Gigi wrote a book about it and published it to the world. A year after the incident, Disney puts out a movie about it, titled 'The Texas 104 Dalmatians, which of course inspired the second 104 Dalmatians incident in (2022) that was masterminded by Stacy's mother, Helena HeLL. Gigi also wrote a second book about this incident as well. Then, the next year, the incident was repeated a third time and masterminded by Richard Scolex, Stacy's ex-fiance, who was also looking to cash in on the Dalmatians movie franchise. And as a result, Gigi has written a book about it and it's now on it's way to becoming a 6'th installment to the Dalmatians franchise." Clark explained.
"Who got Stacy released, Clark? That's what i wanna know." Said Lois.
"Well, look at the suspects. There's Cruella De ViL, the one who ropped Stacy into helping her with the first incident four years ago." Said Clark.
"You think it's Cruella? Uh, news flash, Clark, Cruella De ViL is dead." Said Lois.
"Exactly. Which rules her out as a suspect. So who do we have next? Linda Tremaine, the ex-mayor of London." Said Clark.
"Who is locked up in the London, England women's prison." Said Lois.
"There's always Helena HeLL, Stacy's mother. I mean, come on, she went off the deep end when her daughter went to prison and would do anything to get her out." Said Clark.
"There's just one problem with that." Said Lois.
"What?" Clark asked.
"She's locked up in a mental facility for the criminally insane." Said Lois.
"Well, there's always Richard Scolex." Said Clark.
"Who is also locked up behind bars." Said Lois.
"I got nothin." Said Clark.
Laughter was then heard and Lois and Clark looked at saw Jackson, Tommy and the dogs over at the wooden picnic table.
"What do you suppose they're laughing about?" Lois asked.
"Heaven only knows. Probably kids stuff." Clark added.
Meanwhile, over at the picnic table, Tommy, Jackson, and the puppies, were chatting amongst each other. Tommy was sitting on the right side of the table while Dice was standing on his hind legs, with his paws resting on the table. Molly, Mickey, Max and Olive were sitting on the grassy ground next to the table on Tommy's side, while Jackson was sitting on the other side of the table, with Moose and Clark's dogs standing by the table on the 6 year old's side.
"And then, after that, we rescued Wahar and his family and Dice's family from the village. And then we chased Richard Scolex through the jungle on Elephants." Said Tommy.
"Sounds like fun." Said Jackson.
"Oh, yeah, it was. But really fun part was when Dice and the rest of the 104 Dalmatians baked Richard Scolex into a blue tripple deck wedding cake." Said Tommy.
Jackson, Tommy, Dice, Mickey, Max and Moose all shared a laugh together.
"Oh, man, i wish i had been there. I would've loved to have seen that happen twice." Moose laughed.
"Well, if you liked that, you're gonna love this. After we baked Scolex into a cake, Athaliah, she..." Dice then trailed off.
"She what? What happened next?" Jackson asked.
Dice did not answer, for his was too busy stairing off into space.
"Dice? Dude, you look like you just saw a ghost." Said Moose.
"I did. Three of them." Said Dice.
Jackson, Moose and Clark's dogs turned to see two people and a Dalmatian entering inside the park. The first person was a woman with orange hair and blue eyes while the other person was a 13 year old boy with blue eyes and long light brown hair that went down to his neck. The Dalmatian was a 9 week old liver-spotted puppy with brown ears, wearing a green collar around it's neck.
Mickey: "Oh, my goodness. Is that..."
"It couldn't be." Said Max.
"But it is. It's Keegan, Copper and Candace! I gotta go say hi to them!" Said Dice with excitment before getting off the picnic table and rushing towards the Lewis family.
"Wait for us, Dice!" Said Tommy as he and Jackson got up from the table and went after the pup, with the other dogs following.
As they were walking through the park, 13 year old Keegan, Copper and Candace heard the sound of barking nearby.
"What on Earth?" Said Candace. She, Keegan and Copper looked in the direction where the noise was coming from and saw several dogs coming their way, with two boys chasing after them.
"INCOMING!" Candace shouted.
Before they could react, however, Dice jumped forward and tackled Keegan to the grassy floor on his back.
"Oh, no!" Said Lois and Clark before they got off the bench and rushed over to the scene to help.
"Hahahaha! Hey there, Dice. It's been a long time. Hahahahaha!" Keegan laughed as Dice licked him on the face. Despite now being a teenager, the kid still had his little boy voice.
Jaskson, Tommy and the other dogs all rushed onto the scene.
"Are you okay?" Jackson asked.
Keegan then stood up. "Yeah, i'm fine. I'm just overjoyed to see an old friend. Actually, make that five old friends. Hi, Molly. Hey, Mickey, Max and Olive."
Mickey, Max, Olive and Molly barked, greeting their Canada friend.
Lois and Clark rushed on the scene.
"You okay there, kid?" Clark asked.
"I guess so. Except my face is all covered with dog slobber." Said Keegan.
"Sorry about that. They just get so excited whenever they see kids." Said Lois.
"Don't i know it. I'm Candace Lewis. Nice to meet you. This is my nephew, Keegan and his dog, Copper."
"Hi." Said Keegan.
Barking was then heard and the humans looked down at the Dalmatians, who seemed to be greeting one another.
"Hey there, guys. Long time, no see." Said Copper to five of the other Dalmatians.
"Copper, my man. How's it going?" Dice asked.
"Pretty good, i guess. What's going on with you?" Copper asked.
"Nothing, much, we're just here at the park, chillin' with our friends, that's all." Said Mickey.
"Yeah, i can see that. Hello, miss Molly." Copper said.
"Hello, Copper, how are you?" Molly greeted.
"Pretty good." Said Copper.
Moose cleared his throat. "Uh, guys...aren't you going to introduce us to your new friend?"
"Oh! Sorry, Dad. Copper, this is our Dad, Moose, and his friends, Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster. Everyone, this is Copper, our friend from Canada." Max introduced.
"Hey, there. Nice to meet you." Said Copper.
"Nice to meet you too, Copper. Any friend of my kids' is a friend of our's." Said Moose.
"Look at them. It's like they're saying hello to each other." Said Lois as she and the other humans looked down at the Dalmatians.
"It's not like they can talk." Said Clark.
"Some times it really feels like they can." Said Jackson.
"Anyway, nice to meet you, i'm Lois Frankson. This is my husband, Clark. Those are our dogs, Moose, Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster. Our son, Jackson."
"Hey." Jackson waved.
"That's Tommy." Said Lois.
"Hi." Said Tommy.
"And those other Dalmatians belong to my best friend, Gigi Miller." Said Lois.
"Gigi? Gigi's here?" Candace asked.
"Yeah...but how do you know her?" Lois asked.
"Oh, that? It's a long story." Said Candace.
"I'll bet it is. A story i've read to my son a whole bunch of times...Candace Davis." Said Clark.
"How did you know my original last name?" Candace asked.
"Simple, you're in Gigi's second book, 'The 104 Dalmatians Repeat. All three of you are. Inclueding herself, Rex, Jason and their Dalmatians. In fact, we just watched the movie trailer of the incident that happened two years ago." Said Clark.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Did you just say that your name was Lois?" Candace asked.
"That's right." Said Lois.
"As in...Lois Richards. THE Lois Richards? The same Lois Richards who traveled to Mexico and helped rescue 103 Dalmatian puppies from a Dinosaur infested island in (2017)?" Said Candace.
"That would be me. Although, i don't go by the name Richards anymore. My new last name is Frankson. You know, cause i married Clark." Said Lois.
"Yes, i understand that. I recently married Keegan's Dad, Jerry, last year and took on the name Lewis." Said Candace.
"I wish we could have been there." Said Clark.
"So do i. So what brings you to town?" Lois asked.
"Oh, nothing special. I just came cause i wanted to see the town, that's all. And Keegan and Copper wanted to come along with me, so i let them." Said Candace.
"So where is that terrific firefighting husband of your's?" Lois asked.
"Oh, you mean Jerry? He's back home in Ontario, Canada, running the fire station." Said Candace.
"Well, i can understand that. I mean, a business doesn't run itself, you know." Said Lois.
"Yeah, i know." Said Candace. "So what are you all doing here?"
"Oh, i'm here on a book tour with my family, just like Gigi is with her family." Said Lois.
"Speaking of Gigi and Rex...are they still in town?" Candace asked.
"Yes, of course they are." Said Lois.
"Then let's swing by their place and pay them a suprise visit, shall we?" Said Candace.
"I second that notion." Keegan added.
"Alright. Let's all hop in our vehicles and head over to Gigi's place. She is gonna flip when she sees you guys." Said Lois.
"I'll bet she is. Well, let's not keep her waiting any longer then. Shall we?" Said Candace.
"We shall." Said Lois before she and the whole gang exited the park, heading for their vehicles to leave.
