104R 15: Reunited, With New Friends.

UK London, England

Copper and the Miller puppies ran through the city of London, looking for Keegan and his family. After finding shelter and getting some rest, the five Dalmatians continued their journey through the big city the next day, in search of Copper's human friend.

"I found him! I got his scent!" Said Copper, sniffing around.

"Are we looking for somebody?" Max asked.

"Yeah, my human friend, Keegan. He's my best friend in the whole wide world. That's how we're gonna get you guys home." Said Copper.

"Uh...is anyone else confused?" Mickey asked.

Later, at London High, all of the kids exited the building as the school bell rang, dismissing school for the day. Among them was Keegan, who walked down the steps.

"Hey, Keegan, wait up!" Said Isabella as she and Charlie exited the building, stopping the Canadian boy in his tracks.

Keegan turnned to see the two british kids from yesterday as they made their way down the steps and at the bottom where he was. "Isabella? Charlie? What do you guys want?"

"We just wanna talk. You could say we're friends, right?" Said Isabella.

"Oh, really? I couldn't tell by the way you and Charlie just ran off from me yesterday." Said Keegan.

Isabella: "Yeah, about that, uh...see, the thing is..."

"You don't have to explain, i understand." Said Keegan.

Isabella: "Uh, no, actually you don't. I shouldn't have ran off from you like i did yesterday, and you deserve an honost answer. See, the thing is that...i..."

"Isabella...would this, by any chance, have anything to do with the 102 Dalmatians incident that happened 22 years ago in (2000)?" Keegan asked.

Isabella: "Something just like that, yeah. See, the thing is that..."

"That you're Chloe Simon's cousin? Is that what you were going to say?" Said Keegan.

"Yeah. But how did you know?" Isabella asked.

"My aunt Candace picked me up from school yesterday after you and Charlie took off. She pretty much filled me in on everything there is to know about you." Said Keegan.

"Well, at least that explains how you know so much." Said Isabella.

"Next to the true based movie, 102 Dalmatians, that is." Charlie added.

"I'm really sorry. You know, about what Cruella did to your cousin Chloe. If it had been my cousin she had hurt, i would be mad at her too." Said Keegan.

"Yeah. But it's over now, Cruella's dead. She's gone and she's never coming back. And as sad as this is to say...that's probably a good thing." Said Isabella.

"Isabella...i hate the way it happened, but...at least Cruella can't hurt anymore animals." Said Keegan.

"And that's something to be greatful for." Said Charlie.

"Okay, so...want us to walk you home?" Isabella asked.

"Sure." Said Keegan.

The three kids began walking off, but they were soon cut off by two teen boys who were blocking their path. It was two of the bullies who had picked on Keegan yesterday after school. Keegan and the others turnned to go in the other direction, but there was no chance of that happening because the other bullies were blocking that path as well.

Bryce, the lead bully, hopped on the brick bannester of the steps and jumped down and grabbed Keegan. "Hey, K. Where's our money?"

"I brought my own lunch today. Maybe i could give you a cookie." Said Keegan.

"You tryin' to be funny. You tryin to make fun of me?" Bryce asked.

"No." Said Keegan.

"Well, then you must be stupid." Said Bryce before pushing Keegan to the ground.

"Hey, stop!" Isabella said.

"Knock it off, you guys!" Said Charlie before two of the bullies grabbed him and Isabella, holding them back.

"Hey, let them go! leave them alone!" Said Keegan.

While the bullying was taking place, Copper and the Miller Dalmatians were watching the scene play out. Seeing that Keegan was in trouble, Copper and the other four puppies went to help the little boy.

"I'm gonna teach you a leason." Said Bryce as he looked down at Keegan.

"Fine, but first just...let them go." Said Kreegan.

"You gonna cry like a baby?" Said Bryce before throwing back his first to deliver a punch.

Copper then flipped a switch, activating an snow cone machine, with a mouth that looked like the kind on a wood chipper. White shaved ice then shot out of the mouth of the machine and, like wood does when in a wood chipper, and fired right at the back of Bryce, covering the bully with shaved ice.

Keegan looked and saw five Dalmatian puppies standing by a baby blue snow cone machine that was firing shaved ice at Bryce.

Four of the puppies stood on top of the machine, each having a snow cone syrup bottle laid down in front of them while the fifth Dalmatian stood on the ground on the left side of the machine. Three of the Dalmatians were black spotted, one was limon spotted, and the fifth one was liver spotted, wearing a green collar.

Wait.

"Copper!" Said Keegan as he smiled. "I can't believe it!"

Copper then howled and the other four Dalmatians pressed up and down on their snow cone syrup bottles, shooting the syrup at Bryson, covering the bully in the substance, along with the shaved ice.

Charlie bit the arm of the bully who was holding him in a tight hug, causing the bully to let go.

Isabella then broke away from the bully, that was restraining her, and kneed him between the legs.

All of the other kids on the property took notice of this and started cheering.

The machine continued shooting cold shaved ice at Bryce while the four Dalmatians continued squirting the bully with their syrup bottles.

Copper then turnned off the machine and ran up to the now ice/syrup covered Bryce and jumped at him, headbutting the teen in the face, knocking him to the ground on his back.

The other four Dalmatians jumped down from the machine and ran over to Bryce, surrounding him.

Bryce looked and saw that the liver-spotted Dalmatian puppy was standing on his chest, barking and gowling at him and baring it's teeth, along with the other four Dalmatians that were standing around him.

"Please! Please! Get them away from me!" Said Bryce.

Keegan stood to his feet as the Dalmatians continued barking at Bryce.

"Get them away from me!" Bryce rushed to his feet and ran off, along with his friends.

Keegan picked Copper up and held the liver-spotted puppy in his arms. "Now look who's crying like a baby."

All of the kids cheered four the five Dalmatian puppies.

Keegan looked at Copper. "I can't believe you came back, boy. I missed you so much." The Canada boy then heard barking and looked down at the other four Dalmatian puppies. "Well, hi there, guys, who are you?"

"Maybe you should look at their name tags and see." Said Charlie.

"Good idea, Charlie." Keegan placed Copper down and picked up one of the black-spotted Dalmatian with black ears and a red collar around it's neck. It's name tag was black and in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. "Mickey? As in the Mickster?"

Isabella picked up the limon spotted Dalmatian wearing a blue collar and looked at the golden circle-shape name tag. "Olive."

The other Dalmatian, wearing a red collar, with a white circle-shapped spot on it's left ear, ran up to Charlie and jumped in the british 10 year old's arms. The blond haired boy looked at the pups teal bone-shapped name tag to see what it's name was. "Max."

The last Dalmatian, wearing an orange collar and a pair of furry dice around it, walked up to Keegan and looked up at the boy.

"Nice dice...dog. As in Dice?" Said Keegan.

The Dalmatian puppy known as Dice barked once, meaning 'yes.'

"My prairs have been answered. My name's Keegan."

"Hi, i'm Isabella."

"And i'm Charlie. It's really nice to meet all of you"

Keegan put Mickey down and picked Copper back up. "Copper, this is Isabella and that's Charlie. Isabella, Charlie, meet Copper. He's the dog i told you about."

"Nice to meet you, Copper." Said Isabella, shaking the pup's paw with her hand.

"Same." Charlie added.

"Come on, we're gonna miss the bus." Said Keegan before he, Isabella and Charlie walked off, with the four puppies following them close behind. The kids and the dogs all boarded the school bus and it drove off down the street.

Lady Black on the school property as she watched as the bus drove off the school area and down the street before disappearing like a ninja.

On the bus, Keegan, Isabella and Charlie were chatting amongst each other.

"I think he like you." Said Keegan, with Copper sitting in his lap.

"He's very cool, Keegan." Said Isabella.

"Yeah, a real cutie." Charlie added.

"Yeah, but...i don't know what to do with him now." Said Keegan.

"You should tell your parents." Said Isabella.

"I can't. My stepmother will freak. Plus the De ViL Manor doesn't allow pets. It says so in Cruella's will." Said Keegan.

"He sure is a great dog, Keegan." Said Charlie.

"I can't lose Copper again." Said Keegan before looking at Copper. "We'll figure something out, boy. I promise."

"Maybe you don't have to." Said Isabella.

"What?" Keegan asked.

"Get off the bus with me and Charlie at our stop. I'll show you what i'm talking about. I know the perfect place where we can hide Copper and the other four puppies." Said Isabella.

"Oh, well...okay." Said Keegan.
