"My life as a bachelor at the time back in London was downright dull," Says Pongo to Perdy, "My human pet owner was so obsessed with his work, that it was my choice to find the right mate for him and me. And I was determined to do my best. I have to admit too, that I had this pretty stony idea when I was doing my bit of search out there from our home. It was then I saw you and your own human pet owner walking yall's way down to the park. So I tricked my way to messing with my pet's clock getting him thinking its time for our walk in the park, and then BOOM! I yanked his way on to the park."
Pongo smirkingly continues his story in a bit of a chuckle, "Why, when we had arrived at the park I was afraid I had missed yall, and thought yall had passed by the park already. But then suddenly, I spotted yall! Then I insisted the time was right to enhance the chance of my lifetime to be changed!"
Perdy chuckled at Pongo's story stating, "Well I must say, what a way to go there!" Pongo says to Perdy's remark, "Indeed, of course in that case it was all up to me; as I knew my owner generally would do nothing but just relax on the grass and then just leave."
Perdy says in response, "Well upon that matter, mine would have just sat on the bench, read her book, and then leave. I did happen to notice how antsy you were the way you snagged your owners hat off of him and just shook it and yourself all about begging for attention."
Pongo then says, "Well if it was anything I could do to attract attention, it certiainly was my cue to stir things up."
Perdy laughed and then said, "Well you certainly DID stir everything up, Pongo! The way you yanked our human pets up, and then lead them to tossing down in that pond."
Pongo says to Perdy, "Well, honestly honey, that wasn't really expected upon that matter. But then again, our owners had no control over themselves the moment I yanked my owner's leash in between them. So yeah, in that case; next thing you know they end up splashed all over the pond. But I tell you what though, Perdy, upon my life scenario, I just couldn't give up. The moment I saw you and your human just leave the bench, I was determined that somehow; you all just HAD to meet!"
Perdy then says smiling about, "Heh, and so we have, sweetie! Then pages started to turn with all of us. Starting with me giving birth to fifteen offspring."
Pongo then says, "And then finding eighty-four more from some house where they were all captured in the undertaking of being fur coated."
Perdy says, "Well apparently they were found from some pet shop of some sort. Bought and paid for too!" Pongo says, "Well yes, but honey how thrilled was I to have even found that many Dalmatian puppies!"
Perdy then says, "Indeed sweetheart, and in the event nonetheless, we were on obligation from that Great Dane to save our own puppies from those bad guys."
Pongo then says, "Oh yeah, absolutely. Then we returned home to our owners to have them thrilled to see how many more pups we encountered."
Perdy says joyfully, "Oh yes! Following a new song that became a hit. Which lead to a loan for us to move to this new town."
Pongo says in the exact same mood as Perdy, "And now here we are in Topstown, America! You know what else sweetheart, it couldn't be any better. I mean look at our puppies now. They have grown since. They've reached teenage years too."
Perdy then says sighing, "Well...Yes. Admittingly, I can hardly wait to see what will become within them as they get older."
Pongo then states to her, "And you know what hun, upon this whole time, I have kept in mind that I was confident in myself that there would be light; and wouldn't you know it, we got light! Here in Topstown!"
Perdy then says nodding slightly in agreement, "Yes yes yes, I know Pongo. Now let's just hope that none of us especially the pups have a fall on our butts like how we did back in London within their abduction."
Pongo says, "Oh Perdy believe me, there really isn't any stop to it. We've already been on our butts, honey. With the constant muggers, and the pollution that tends to happen around the city; what else can you call it. The results are that we end up on our butts. But you know what, all those times we've come across those issues, we have made it through them." "Thankfully yes, we have." Says Perdy.
Perdy now has some case concern in her mind that she wants to point out, "However, Pongo, now that I think of it; you remember how we both got married back in England, and so did our owners?" Pongo answers in wonder, "Um, yes. What about it, Hun?"
Perdy then asks Pongo in some wise information about their marriage, "Well, my thing is this; hasn't it occured to you that the one who married us didn't have the proper credentials to wed us? This goes for our human pets as well."
Pongo answers in staggered honesty, "Well, hehe, if you must know Perdy, that is something my owner has been on urge of triggering your own human owner's mind on for quite some time now." Perdy then asks in wonder, "What do you mean?"
Pongo says, "Well for starters, you are right hun, in light of the fact that the marriage could likely be unofficial. Because of this, within the last couple of months or so, they have been talking about a certain type of vacation that they will be going to upon celebration of their anniversary. But my owner is on this thing with her that they are going on that trip to see his favorite baseball team while they are in their Spring training. But like I said, it is actually an anniversary trip that they will be going to, and it is arranged to end at the church they got married to renew their wedding vows."
Perdy then looks at Pongo wide-eyed in a stunning still motion and then asks, "The church they were married to?" Pongo gets a little wavery and says, "Well, I mean yeah, like he-" He gets cut off as Perdy comes in an asks again worryingly, "The church they were married to? How can THAT be, Pongo? I mean they were married way back over in London, sweetheart. Supposedly, they are going all across the country in this said vacation. How does it bear that he would make this silly suggestion that they would end this trip at the church that he would indicate that they were married to?"
Perdy then says in addition, "Oh yeah, which, dosen't my pet's boss know about it too?" "Well...yeah," Says Pongo, "Why does that matter?"
Perdy points out in fret and walking up close to Pongo with a serious look on her face, "Well if you must know, Pongo, her boss is the same woman who had our kids captured back in London upon the scheme to turn them into fur skin coats. I just tend to worry that, with my owner still working for her; she is still the same evil countertype woman that could possibly be up to no good with our puppies."
Pongo says in fascination, "Well yes, of course you might think that this day in age about her." He then asks in wonder, "Which I have been curious about Perdy, what WAS up with that woman anyhow? With all that interest in Dalmatian fur coats, and skinning our own puppies alive?"
Perdy then starts of by saying, "Well for starters, she was known to be a very pampered and glamoruos London heiress. They have known each other since grade school. And if you must know, Pongo; even then, they were not even friends. That was all because throughout that time, she had frightened my human pet owner. My owner's boss turned out to be a menacing student with black and white plaits, as she was banned from school from drinking ink. She did appear, however, to be on friendlier terms with my owner; when they encountered each other at the beginning, and even before she began this process of stealing such said puppies. Namely, OUR puppies; within having noted that she would make enchanting fur coats, and that no one had even thought of making coats from the fur of dogs in history. My owner's boss was the last of her thriving and scandalous family. She did become wealthy, but heavily in debt."
Pongo looked at Perdy wide-eyed in amazement as she continued, "She was married to a furrier, and within that time; it appeared she had married him solely due to his occupation, rather than that she loved him. That occupation per se was of making fur coats. Also within that time being, my owner's boss was portrayed as the tyrannical figure in the marriage; and her husband being the long-suffering and compliant man who spoke and obeyed her completely. Her husband provided my owner's boss with a very lack of thrift with things such as a white mink cloak that she constantly wears with skin-tight gowns and ropes of jewels in varying colors, or a black dress with ropes of pearls, or a green dress with ropes of rubies."
Pongo then gets interested in knowledge of the backstory and then asks, "So then if she really was into fur coat enchantments in the time being, then why in particular was she looking in to Dalmatians; and why specifically into the little pups?"
Perdy answers, "Well for starters, their fur would not be as soft and as fine as they would be when we Dalmatians fully grow up. And in the beginning of her lifetime, she had wanted nothing more in her life than a Dalamtian puppy. Her life was if I can say, even more dull than yours, Pongo. Her parents were never around in her lifetime growing up, and neither were her brothers. When her parents left her, her brothers went with them; but even then, her two brothers were shortly sent raised in foster homes. Her parents always left my owner's boss in the care of foreign nannies while they went on vacations, same with her brothers. Worst things worse for her with little knowledge in her mind, her father was not even around much throughout her life time. Her father, Marlevola De Vil, passed away when she was two years old. That left her mother, Malevola De Vil, widowed for the majority of the rest of her life. But anyways, she figured in that case of her parents never being around, that a Dalmatian puppy would give her the love that her always-absent parents never gave her. But those nannies sent her nothing but clothes as gifts. It was like that every birthday and Christmas she went through growing up. A whole lot of other kids she was around got puppies, especially Dalmatian puppies; but not her. Therefore, she suffered through such anger without a care in the world about the innocent children and puppies out there. Then in her teenhood, it was that very Christmas that the nanny whom was taking care of her at that time pulled a very unpleasant scheme on her. Her nanny set up a couple of cardboard cutouts of them in front of the window of her household to make it look like in her view with the lights on inside that her parents were actually there for Christmas. When she saw the view from outside of her house, she was at first excitingly thrilled that this moment she had always waited for had finally arrived at the time. Erstwhile, she even heard the sound of a puppy; something that as I've mentioned that she had always wanted growing up. It turned out the moment later when she went inside to discover her nanny's dirty trick, and that the puppy she heard from outside was just a toy model from the Dalmatian Coast. Boy, when that happened, you would not be surprised on how irritated she got from that. So you see, Pongo, that's how she has become the immoral person that she is today. Her brothers have by now caught the attention of this, and they despise her because of it all. Her brother, Cecil B. De Vil, he has an opposite perspective in Dalmatians; and knowing his sister like that, he hates having to do anything with her. Cecil is currently a director for some of Thunderbolt's episodes on TV, as well as certain TV commercials; and his other brother has a daughter named Ivy. Ivy's father raised her into thinking that owning a pet can be a killer in life, and he has a huge desire of developing mechanical equipment that he allows her to use as her own personal playtoys due to this. Lastly, she has this mad scientist cousin named, P.H. De Vil. Hes known to be an evil scientist and junk food connoisseur. He has amassed his fortune through using science and technology to his advantage. Worst of all, he tries to test out all sorts of animals to use as test subjects to test his 'junk' food experiments; just to see if any animal he finds have any side effects. He works at his own lab to initiate his experiments on his junk food material; and as far as I'm concerned, P.H. is her closest friend and relative in her family. In spite of his own ambitions, he still appears to be on evil terms with her. This is practically his main way of eeking his way through life."
Pongo was so delightly thrilled to hear that backstory and then said, "Hmm, that is quite some interesting backstory, sweetie!" Afterwards, he asked in curiosity, "But might I ask though, Perdy, does Coco happen to know about your owner's boss' evil ways?"
Perdy pleased to hear that remark from Pongo responds, "As a matter of fact, Pongo, yes. It was even then before she even met Beamer. Which brings me to another bit of a little story of mine, Coco's, and my own owner's lives growing up. It all started with my owner's current live-in maid adopting us from some pound. When her maid found us at that pound, she was thrilled to see what she saw; as she knew that it was something that my owner had also always wanted, and that Dalmatians and her maid were the only ones that she ever wanted to associate with. Well, and of course that evil lady too. My owner never really got to see much of her father. He couldn't take care of himself, so taking care of her was out of the question; and all her mother ever did was live in some stupid car and even sleep in it. They eventually put her up for adoption and a little while later, she got adopted by her live-in maid. It was then thereafter at that point in time when me and Coco were adopted, that me and her grew up happily together with our own owner and her maid. Her maid's sister, named Franny, often visited as well, and so did her brother who is a cop. Then as mine and Coco's owner grew up and decided to move out, she took the both of us with her to keep as her Dalmatian pets."
Pongo nods in comprehensive interest to that story from Perdy and then says to her, "Hmm, I'll declare how interesting indeed." He then asks her, "So how exactly did yall discover her evil countertype ways to begin with? I mean, I do vaguely remember back in London with it being the very first time I encountered her, how we were just snuggling about on that window cell at that old house. Next thing, we both see her coming in that big red car, and then from that point you went like zip-zap running away like the speed of light down underneath that stove."
Perdy continues on discussion to answer Pongo's question, "Well it was then, one night, that my owner's boss had guests over for dinner at her old flat. Me and Coco, our live-in maid, and our human owner being some of them. That night during dinner time, which was during the Summer; my owner commented to her boss that she might find her mink cloak too warm for a Summer's evening. Her boss then laughed and stated that she never found anything too warm, and that she constantly stoked a roaring fire and complained of being cold despite the unbearable heat. Her flat where she lived at the time was portrayed as a luxorious version of 'Hell'. In fact that is how her old manor home back in London got it's name 'Hell Hall'. Her rooms were made of marble and colored garishly in green, red, or black. But anyways, that night during dinner, my owner's boss expressed her sinister interest in Dalmatians via remarking her childhood life; within the moment she saw that my owner had me and Coco as pets, and how she and her impact husband had never thought of making dog pelt before. Yet knowing that she would be seeing the spotless skins of newborn Dalmatian puppies, she would then be revolted and demanded upon this case to be drowned at once. It was her way of getting rid of animals that she viewed as worthless. And so in the case, Coco had immediately came to me, telling me that she did not want to take that risk upon the first time with her herself encountering my owner's boss. It was then the day after, that Franny told my owner that she wanted to keep Coco as a pet, as Franny herself also really adored Dalmatians, and then both me and my owner agreed and then we ended up on our own seperate ways in life. We were all still happy back in London at the time living our happy lives. Why it was then, one day Franny took Coco over to the same park that you and I met at. Franny was playing with Coco 'Fetch' with her frisbee; and at that time, Beamer and his wealthy owner, Gielgud, were driving about that scooter bot that Gielgud had built and was training Beamer to drive at that time. You know those kinds of bots, that Spotty drives Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig often about during the mornings. But yeah of course, Beamer was in training, but he got better in time. Unfortunately, not soon enough for Beamer to accidently run in to Coco while she and Franny were playing 'Fetch' with that frisbee; and with that scooter bot that Gielgud was training Beamer to drive at the park, it caused Coco to land in that exact same pond that our owners fell in when you yanked them both with that leash. But joyfully in a turn of events, that is how they happened to meet, as well as Gielgud and Franny. They then fell in love, and how thrilled were I and my owner. Soon, they all got married to one another, and then soon moved here to America in a mansion where they currently reside within a time period before we moved here in America as well to live happy lives together. With Gielgud having this career of being a technician and mechanical inventor, and Franny being a stay at home wife with Gieugud's fortune to keep all of them company. That's how they all became the Vandercremes."
Pongo felt so adored upon hearing that backstory of how the Vandercremes met and then says, "Wow, how very sweet hun! Sounds very much like how you and I met, being that it was at that exact same place."
Perdy chuckles and says, "Yeah, except with Beamer and Coco's case, it was by accident; not by determination."
Pongo laughs and says, "True, very very true. So how are they holding up now? Have you heard from them recently?"
Perdy answers, "Well not too much, but all I know is Franny is happy being the stay at home wife she is and caretaker of Beamer and Coco; and as of now, Gielgud is officially retired. He does still have the interest in creating that mechanical equipment, and even had the will to train Spotty over at the Gruetley Dog Track to drive those things. Gielgud has even been allowing Beamer upon learning from him to invent those technical things himself; being the high class Dalmatian that Beamer is. So yeah, those Vandercremes are all living their happy lives in an expensive and fancy shmancy mansion."
Pongo says, "Wow gee". "Yup, and I tell you what Pongo, those two humans have grown to have just as much the desire for Dalmatians dogs like all of our human pets do, and with Beamer in his interest of inventing technical stuff and Coco's interest in ballet shows on television. In fact, Pongo, that's what me and her used to always watch all the time when we were kids, of course before Thunderbolt came about. But yeah, Coco introduced Beamer to those shows which grew his interest in watching those shows with her now that they are together; whereas now being together, the two are now both being high class Dalmatians."
Pongo gladly nods in comprehension of hearing that whole story as Perdy concludes in awe, "So yeah, that backstory being said, I just tend to worry that with my owner and her boss working together again here in America that sooner or later she will be up to no good again with us and the puppies."
Pongo then says to her, "Oh now Perdy, come on now. I can agree that life is funny every now and then. And sure in this case, we are talking about the same evil woman from back in London who stole our pups. But look at it this way, those two have been friends ever since their childhood days. We've lived here in America for what, three years now; and now as it has started within this past nearly a year now that your owner has been working with her in that new fashion house via the event of designing fancy clothes in, especially fur types. In addition, we haven't even seen or heard from her since moving to Topstown in this brownstone, despite the case of them working together now. So relax hun, I'm sure now especially since we foiled all her plans back in London via sooting ourselves as Laborador dogs, that she is now completely out of our league. We have Lucky and Patch to thank for the event of us covering ourselves in soot."
"True. Very very true, sweetheart," Says Perdy. Pongo then points out, "One minute one turns out evil, then the next, you are fantasizing; and then it turns out that curse has been broken and they end up not so bad the more you get to know that certain someone. Surely by now she has changed and has learned to leave us alone. I'm pretty confident things will turn out great with the pups. One day, we are going to look back on all our miserable times we have had, and we will laugh."
Perdy says in worry, "Geez, I hope so Pongo. Cause what if our owners go on that trip, and then suddenly, she manages to come up with a scheme to ruin our human pet's romantic getaway?"
Pongo says, "Oh nonsense sweetheart. Besides, with all do respect, the marriage shouldn't really matter to us since we are only dogs."
"Well, I suppose you are right." Says Perdy, "On the other hand though, despite the trip being an anniversary trip where they will see romantic sights and then renew their wedding vows, my owner has this strange idea that they are seeing your pet owner's favorite baseball team when the spring training comes about. In addition, isn't the trip like clearly across the country? Past the deserted areas? I mean, Pongo, that is like approximately two thousand miles away! Worst thing of all, I hear this thing that my owner's boss is on urge to try and seduce your human pet owner when they are out on that vacation! Oh Pongo, how do you think she will handle such a surprise?! I just...I just hate to see her flip out on us and him like that, and then lose this family of Dalmatians like that after all that we have been through to be where we are now. I mean, sweetheart, we have earned our way BIG time into making this big of a family of 101 Dalmatians!".
Pongo then comes up with a great plan to sneak their way into the Dearly's arranged vacation as well as to get the pups to come along the way to said vacation as he notices Perdy's big brood on any surprise attack to occur on their human pets when they are away, "Well I tell you what, Perdy, they have had quite the arrangements on this trip. It will be a loooooooooong drive for them that is for sure! I do also know how much this particular vacation means to my pet owner. Tell you what, hun, I will make it up to you; we can come up with a plan to come with the Dearlys to their vacation and convince them that it is OUR anniversary too. And we can plan our way on bringing all the ninety-nine puppies along with us to come along and have them as part of the witnesses upon getting married for real along with our human pets. After all, I was the one who brought them together, you know; and then soon, we will officially be legitimately married for life!"
Perdy then happily says, "Oh how thoughtful of you Pongo! After all, my owner was pretty lonely and unhappy when it was just me and her living together; and while I will admit though it was pretty restless the way the plan to bring this whole family turned out to be at first in my sight, it occured to me then again, that you were one of the sweetest dogs I had ever turned out to ever meet in my lifetime. So from then on, I was happy to help up the plan of hooking our human owners together back there in London."
As Perdy continues on, she comes a bit closer to Pongo in process of nuzzling. "But most of all Pongo," Says Perdy, "What you did for us and our pet owners, was the sweetest and most generous thing I ever experienced."
After that statement, they carress each others cheeks. Perdy smiles in comfort as they do that.
"I must also say Pongo," Says Perdy in awe, "Upon matter of living here, while I admit we and the pups have quite the load of happy times together, the coorporation of all those ninety-nine puppies have been downsizing the ability for them to coordinate."
Pongo then asks in wonder, "What is that supposed to mean?" Perdy then explains, "Well I mean, there's ninety-nine of them like I said. And I know we are capable of handling that many pups, but aside from those disastrous burglars and whatnot outside; there's many instances of conflict with them."
Pongo says in confidence, "Well Perdy, that's the thing you gotta expect with kids." Perdy then says, "I know honey, but don't you think we should be more strict with them?"
Pongo says, "Well no, we just give them love and kindness and if something bad happens with any of them just have a parenting lecture and you know what else is there really?"
Perdy then continues to state out in concern, "But Pongo, if you haven't noticed by now, everytime we turn around them they are either in trouble, about to get in to trouble, or laying out a long term plan to create trouble. Especially our favorite pups Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly, and Spotty. We all know how Rolly is with his appetite, but say for example he ends up eating food from a stranger and he end up being used as a test subject from as I've mentioned before, P.H. De Vil. "
Pongo gets anxious and says, "Oh Perdy, you worry too much about the pups. We've been experts at handling chaos with them, and I know for certain that none of our pups have any case of side effects in them. Any professional scientist should be able to tell if any animal or perhaps even any species of some sort would have side effects. So don't you worry too much about that part, Perdy. For Rolly, despite his appetite, he's fine how he is. He may be a bit overweight and all, but he's a great pup just the way he is. Besides, a side effect can be more serious than you could imagine. They are something more like a strange reaction or disease of some sort, and I know for certain that none of our puppies have any such things in them whatsoever. Besides, major side effects can lead to a LOT of trouble for a certain someone that's for sure. Trust me, they are turning out fine. And seeing how more mature they have grown, there couldn't possibly be as much conflict with them as we would built up. Besides, look at Spotty. He is capable of being out and about, especially with his job. We should be happy for him."
Perdy sighs and says, "Well..." Suddenly, thunder claps and then Perdy quickly walks towards the window seeing view of the storm brewing around town. Perdy continues on, "But even that concerns me. I mean don't get me wrong, Pongo; I too am happy for Spotty. But the fact that he keeps it a secret between us, and his group of siblings that he considers his favorite; something has got to be up with him, especially after all this time. Like I know right now he is out there driving some bot that Beamer made. But, you know, its raining and thundering outside!"
Pongo points out, "Eh, its got a some sort of dome protector enclosed on to it in case such an event happens. It's an easy process to activate by just one touch of a button."
"Oh," Says Perdy, "If only, Pongo, if only we can harness that ingenuity and channel it into something more constructive."
Pongo then says, "Oh like moving into the barn over in Gruteley like our owners have been talking about for awhile now."
Perdy then says, "Hmm, perhaps indeed. However, there is no official sign of that kind of planning at the moment. I know however, its been Spotty's wish every now and then that we should have moved to the country like your owner mentioned once we gathered this family of 101 Dalmatians and moved to this country via the loan they were granted. I'm guessing that is just not what he had in mind when we moved. But you know what, this place is fine for now."
Pongo noddingly agrees and says, "Indeed it is Perdy! Now hand me the newspaper, will ya?" Perdy then hands the paper over to Pongo.
As Pongo reads the newspaper, he comes across a very interesting article coming from the Paw Patrol Military. "Hey Perdy!" Calls out Pongo. "Yes dear." Answers Perdy. "Come check this out," Pongo calls out to her to check out the article he is reading.
Pongo reads out loud as Perdy checks along, "A brand new act passed by Congress called 'The Companion Animals Act'. The act granted partially upon contributions to association with the Paw Patrol Military as led by their boss captain, Bill McPurr. This act is designed to benefit pets, their owners and the wider community."
Pongo contintues reading out loud, "Captain Bill McPurr states and I quote 'Owner of dangerous or menacing dog must comply with control requirements. The owner of a dog that is declared to be a dangerous dog under this act must ensure that the dog must be desexed, if it has not already, within twenty-eight days after it is declared a dangerous dog. If the owner appeals against the declaration, the operation of this paragraph is stayed until the appeal is either withdrawn or determined. While the dog is on property on which the dog is ordinarily kept, the dog must be kept in an enclosure that complies with the requirements prescribed by the regulations. The owner has three months from the date on which the dog is declared dangerous to comply. In the case of an existing dangerous dog, the owner has six months from the relevant date to comply."
Perdy then shockingly says, "Gee, Pongo, that is quite an honor there. It is great to see that this great organization of troops are out there to help protect all pets around the country. Especially to keep all pets safe from all the dangers of all other certain types of them out there. As far as our pups, oh heavens no. None of them are by any means considered dangerous, so that absolutely would not apply."
Pongo agrees and then says, "No indeed, Perdy. However let's just hope that within ours and their lifetimes, that they don't ever encounter any such dogs or animals that they would by any means consider dnagerous. Also, keep in mind that one's such owner in a case has six months to comply to said pet."
Perdy then points out a very significant remark and asks, "But what if that certain pet dosen't even HAVE an owner and is left with leading to dangerous situations?"
Pongo says in awe, "Ooooooh, yeah, then that certain pet is definitely up to nothing but bad stuff for sure. But I'm certain that if we or the pups came across a such pet, we would certainly know it and some action must immediately be done."
Perdy confidently nods and says, "Oh yes. Absolutely!"
Pongo looks closely at the picture of Captain McPurr on the newspaper and then points out to Perdy, "You know hun, this commanding officer by the name McPurr looks and sounds very familiar to me and I wonder why?"
Perdy then mentions, "Well Pongo, I must tell you for starters that Beamer did also serve in the Paw Patrol Military during his time."
Pongo says, "Oh did he? Wow! Well I gotta say, something like that has got to be pretty dangerous for our puppies to be a part of. I gotta be honest too, that I would hate to see the puppies being dragged into something like that."
Pongo recalls something about someone in the families history and then points out, "However Perdy, I do recall how great of a chief firedog that the pups' great great great grandfather Rolondo was."
Perdy then says, "Oh yeah, the one that resembles Rolly. Pongo says, "Yes yes indeed, Perdy. If you must know also, over in Gruetley, they offer volunteer work for any Dalmatian pups out there. Sweetheart, we've got ninety-nine puppies. Surely we should give some of them a chance at something very risky to take but very rewarding in the end. Chief firedog honors may not come in easy, but I can see our pups having it in them. I can see one of them like Rolly, just like good ole Rolondo. Or perhaps Lucky, considering how adventurous he is. Cadpig could be in honored too. Being chief firedog sure is a thrill I must say; and considering we are Dalmatians, it is indeed our family duty. In fact, this family has a tradition of being the best firedogs in the land."
"Maybe they could even take Patch, or maybe even Tripod." Says Perdy. "Well as for Tripod," Says Pongo, "Maybe not so much as he recently lost his leg." Perdy questions, "Oh Sport, you mean?"
Pongo says, "Well yeah, but as for granted, especially upon his preference on his condition, his name got changed to Tripod. I'm still at least glad he is still quite the athletic type. And lastly, what about Spotty?"
Perdy wonders and says, "Hmmm perhaps. But you know it takes quite the load of skill and bravery to become parts of such things, Pongo."
"That's for sure!" Says Pongo, "But you never know if they really have it in them! Sometimes you gotta give the benefit of the doubt! In fact, I'm having hopes that maybe Rolly can follow in Rolondo's paw steps."
"Well considering how much of a resemblance Rolly has on him, I'm honestly having high hopes too." Perdy says.
Pongo says with all reliance, "And on top of it all honey, you just never know as I've said. Maybe, just maybe one of our puppies can follow Beamer's pawsteps on being in the Paw Patrol Military!"
We then see the pups and Patch watching an episode of Thunderbolt on TV. They are watching another episode of Thunderbolt on another rival with Dawson, the same antagonist from the episode seen in the original 101 Dalmatians movie.
"Go get em' Thunderbolt!" Shouts Rolly. Cadpig cheers on shouting out, "After him, MAN!" Patch says in such excitement, "Oh I hope that German Shepard catches that dirty old horse thief!"
Lucky chuckles about and says, "Man, look at that Dawson coward run away. Psh, how pathetic. The most apprehensive thief out there if I've ever seen one." Patch says, "Hehe, you said it there, Lucky. That pathetic old Dawson. That nasty yellow lovered old skunk! Man, if only I could tear his gizzard out!"
Rolly gasps, "Patch!" Cadpig says in exasperation, "Oh Patch, hasn't Mom already told you not to use words like that! You nasty boy! Do you even know what a gizzard is?" Patch questions a bit astounded, "Uh, no not really."
Rolly points out to him, "A gizzard is typically a person's stomach or throat." Lucky adds, "It can also be a muscular stomach of some fish, insects, mollusks, and other invertebrates." Cadpig then adds, "Or or, it can also be a muscular, thick-walled part of a bird's stomach for grinding food, typically with grit." Lucky all grossed out by that says as he bows down his head covering it with his paws, "Ech, okay okay I think we've heard just about enough of that, please. Don't make me vomit."
Rolly licks his mouth all about hungered by the things he just heard the pups discuss via food and says, "Oh Papa, I'm starting to get hungry now just thinking about all this." Lucky glares at Rolly and says, "No, Rolly. Don't even think about getting started on that, but I think now, Patch that such language is bad for us pups to use. In fact, it tears my heart to even think of abusing such insects like that."
Patch says, "Oh come on now guys, haven't we matured enough by now to use such language. Mind yall, we're teen pups now!" "Eh, not really." says Rolly, "That's more gr-" Lucky cuts him off by covering his mouth and says, "Alright, alright you guys no more conversation about it, let's just get back to watching the show." "Psh, whatever you guys." Patch mutters.
Lucky then questions in wonder, "You know I wonder where Two-Tone is?" "Probably sitting by the window watching the view outside or something." Says Rolly. Cadpig says in wonder, "You know, that's what she seems to have been doing quite a bit these past several months or so." Patch says, "Sure enough, indeed! I've noticed that too."
"Yeah," Says Rolly, "Something must be up with her." Lucky then gets up and says, "Well, I'm going to invite her along to watch Thunderbolt with us, she is missing out on our favorite dog!" Cadpig says wagging her tail smiling about, "Oh yes! Please do Lucky! You know I do well in fun getting along with Two-Tone you know!"
Lucky then walks out of the room and into the room where Two-Tone is watching the view in much awe about Spotty's whereabouts out there.
Lucky knocks on the doorway inside the room and then greets to Two-Tone, "Hi, Two-Tone!" Two-Tone then looks back and then smiles big seeing her favorite dog breeder, "Oh hi, Lucky! How's my favorite breeder today?"
Lucky blushed a bit at that greet from Two-Tone and then walks up to her as he answers, "I'm okay, just watching Thunderbolt and came by to check on you." He then sits by Two-Tone as he continues on, "You know, I'm sure you would have a lot more fun watching Thunderbolt than just watching the view outside."
Two-Tone points out to Lucky, "Oh no it's not that, Lucky." Lucky then asks her in much desperation, "Then something's gotta be up with you, Two-Tone. What's up? I mean, I'm what you call your favorite breeder in the family, and even one of your best siblings out of everyone in it, aside from Rolly, Cadpig, and Spotty. Yet, I see you spend a lot of time by yourself and now just watching the view outside or something."
Two-Tone answers, "Well for starters, a lot of the pups in this family would rather not want me to be around them. Especially with my backside being all black and me being chubby, I get the exact treatment that Rolly seems to get. 'My butt blocks the sun' they say, and worse for me, my rear has the worse illusion in their sight from it than Rolly's being that his is the typical white and mine being black. Of course also, outside from you guys, Whizzer was the one I used to get along with the best, until he started hanging out with Dipstick. That stupid dog has this tendency to shed out fleas around from here to there, and I just can't stang getting those bad boys all over myself. Then of course, Whizzer started having this urinating problem and so I figured to heck with them." She then sighs and says, "So much for that time we disguised ourselves back over in London with that soot; and then the maid decided that for mysake after cleaning up after returning home from those bad people and dusting us off, that for me, she thought I looked better with half a black side and a white side, and then have my backside permanently dyed black and leave the other side white with the typical Dalmatian look with the black polka dots remaining." She sighs again and then concludes in that discussion, "Which officially gave me the name, Two-Tone upon that matter."
Lucky corrects Two-Tone saying, "Actually, no, Two-Tone. You were called, Two-Tone, at birth officially. The thing was though was that when our maid dyed your back-side black and got satisfied with your new look, that she was going to name you, Pants, upon the fact of what it looked like as a result. But the thing was we were on urge to move here in America from Britian after Dad's owner received a loan from that song that he created; and from there we deciced to change our tones from British to American. Which gave Mom's owner the perfect idea to stick with your birth name, Two-Tone, because we've all had two tones in our accents via moving here from there. I gotta be honest, I really loved that idea!"
Two-Tone says all flattered by that explanation, "Aww, how encouraging!" Two-Tone then continues on with explaining herself, "But anyway yeah, that only goes to show you." She then looks at Lucky and says, "But of course I would never get that treatment from you, Lucky, or Rolly, or Cadpig, or Spotty. Which is why I consider yall the best siblings of all in the family."
Lucky smiling about says to her, "Oh of course not, Two-Tone. In fact, I think that you are the nicest pooch in the family."
Two-Tone puts a paw on her heart and says cheerfully, "Oh Lucky, you flatter me to death, you know that?". Two-Tone then gets to the point of all her worries she has recently been suffering through and explains them to Lucky stating, "But anyway, that's the least of my concerns right now." She paused and sighs big and start out stating, "Lucky, I'm just really starting to worry about Spotty. I mean I know he loves me, he loves you and everyone else in the family; and he by all means likes spending time with others in the fam too, especially me. But the thing is that he is always keeping all his business a secret with all the things that he does out there with his scooter bot. I gotta tell you, Lucky, something's gotta be up with Spotty. What if someday he goes out there and managed to gets locked up by animal control?"
Lucky says in much confidence, "Oh Two-Tone, that's nonsense, I know Spotty won't go through that stuff." Lucky then starts to feel a bit in the same mood Two-Tone is and continues on, "But you know, I kinda know how you feel on that one. It's sort of come to my attention too, as well as Rolly, and Cadpig. I mean I've been tempted to tell the whole world and the family how great of a brother he is and how great of a dog he is too."
Two-Tone enlightened to see Lucky knowing where she is going at says, "Yeah, I see what you mean there. I mean I know he is a great puppy and has such great care for not just you guys, but the whole family too. I just think he needs to be more open about himself and not just you guys."
Lucky says in grief, "Well, Two-Tone, even that can be a pain. I mean he won't even let me spread this kind of word out on how amazing he is. He just wants all that done said himself. After all, he does say he reigns supreme. But at least be happy for him that he has his scooter bot and knows how to drive it. And hey, maybe next time Spotty can give you a turn to ride with him on his scooter bot."
Two-Tone says, "Oh I know he will, Lucky, but it's not so much about that, and it's not all about what it is, it's about who he is. I mean he is always telling these things to you, Rolly, and Cadpig, and Mom and Dad. But not me ore anyone else in the family." Two-Tone now all desperate to know then asks Lucky, "Lucky, out of all in the family as I've said, you are the one that I breed for the most; and you know I like you Lucky."
Lucky tries to hold back on letting it out to Two-Tone by saying, "Well, well yeah I can understand that Two-Tone but unfortunately Sp-" Two-Tone cuts him off saying, "Lucky! Come on now, you can tell me. Like I said I really adore you. If you, Rolly, and Cadpig can keep Spotty's stuff a secret, I will keep it just the same; especially for us". She bats her eyelashes at Lucky after saying that statement.
Lucky blushes at Two-Tones facial expressions which left him no choice but to blurt it out to her, and also sees that he can genuinely trust Two-Tone after all.
Lucky then says, "Ohhhhhh, okay...Spotty's been working at this job delivering pizzas these past several months now. He's been working over in Stiffle at this place called 'Burt's Kibble and Pizza'."
Two-Tone a bit shocked says in reaction, "He works out there on a job delivering pizzas? That food that he really desires an appetite for? Oh my gosh, Lucky! Just why is Spotty doing out there himself with his scooter bot on such a task? I mean what exactly is he trying to accomplish?"
Lucky answers in all wonder, "Well, he just seems to be working so hard on himself to do everything in his will so that this family can live a better life."
Two-Tone then says, "Oh Lucky, come on! Spotty forgets all about it from the way I can picture it. He needs to realize that we are there now! After escaping the fur coat enhancement back in London, what could be greater than that? And as I've said, he is a very sweet dog. He can be however, pretty harsh sometimes you know. Kinda like Cadpig."
"Eh, Cadpig has her ways." Says Lucky, "To each is own of course. Spotty can be hard on everybody sometimes, especially himself. He just seems to care so much about the kind of family that he wants us to turn out to be. He just feels like everything he tries to do or every choice that he makes, he ends up disappointing somebody you know."
Two-Tone shakes her head and sighs in exasperation and then says, "Yeah, I can tell. The way I can picture where its going...I figure he will be dissapointed until we end up as one big happy family."
Lucky nods in agreement and says, "Yeah, absolutely. Perhaps, Two-Tone, we should talk some sense in to that pup."
Two-Tone agrees and says, "Indeed. If anyone has the urge to do that I hope its me."
Lucky wags his tail saying, "Yeah, me too. Along with Rolly and Cadpig." Two-Tone directs to Lucky on that matter and says to him, "Perhaps whenever he gets back home we should try to cherish his heart and make him realize the big treasure of glory that lies within this family."
Lucky chuckles at Two-Tones idea and says, "Be my guest, Two-Tone!" Lucky then prompts Two-Tone to join the others in watching Thunderbolt in the other room. "So, shall we join back in with Rolly, Cadpig, and Patch and watch Thunderbolt?" He asks Two-Tone.
Two-Tone smiles gladly and says, "Sure, lets." They then make their way back into the other room to join the rest of the pups watching Thunderbolt.
As the whole gang of pups are continuing on watching Thunderbolt they continue cheering on about to him as Thunderbolt continues his chaotic rivalry with Dawson. Two-Tone says in much awe seeing Dawson getting ready to pull the trigger on Thunderbolt, "Watch out, Thunder!" Dawson then pulls the trigger and then Thunderbolt immediately dodges it ducking down away.
Patch says with much belief that Thunderbolt will win, "Don't worry Two-Tone, Thunderbolt will get that dirty ol-" Patch cuts himself off looking at the rest of the gang and they glare at him thinking he will say something gruesome again. Patch then continues on, "Well...he will get him alright. That lily-livered chicken, that seems to be a better way to put him off as."
Cadpig then points out smirking about, "Hmm that, I actually agree with, Patch. For Dawsons sake, it totally wouldn't be a bad idea. On a side note though, chickens are motivated to hide distress so they don't attract predators. Just think of it, if we actually were to move into the countryside like our human pets primarily intended on doing when we moved to America who knows really? Living at a barn, the chickens might even be bound to like us!" She says happily in a big grin.
Lucky then annoyingly points out to Cadpig, "Well you know what, Cadpig, we don't live on the countryside at any barn. Besides, I like it here. There is no way we are getting duked into some farm out there on the countryside, now let's be quiet and watch what happens next, Shhh!"
Cadpig angrily sneaks a face at Lucky sticking her tongue out at him in much annoyance and then continues on watching.
Dawson then tries shooting out to Thunderbolt again and misses yet again. "Heh, missed him again!" Says Two-Tone, "Missed him by a mile!"
As the action on TV continues the pups start to worry and then Patch says, "There he is, beyond that rock!" Dawson then pulls the trigger again and then Thunderbolt plays a trick on Dawson into thinking that he actually shot him.
Rolly then says in much misery in that action, "Oh Papa, Dawson shot Thunderbolt!" The other pups watch in the same mood as Rolly's while Patch says in much honesty in his own mind, "Oh don't worry, Rolly! Good old Thunderbolt is just pretending!" Patch then looks closely at him on TV and then says now starting to worry a little, "I think."
Thunderbolt opens one eye and then looks over at Dawson in a smirk. "See, what did I tell ya?" Says Patch, "Just as I said its one of his tricks."
Dawson laughs evilly as Thunderbolt then suddenly goes "Pop goes the Weasel" on him and then they end up tumbling down over towards a cliff and end up falling down to a river.
As that action goes on the pups then cheer on out barking excitingly as the part of the episode comes to an end.
The announcer on the TV says as Dawson and Thunderbolt are in the water, "Stay tuned for another exciting episode of Thunderbolt, and find out who will triumph."
"Psh, Thunderbolt all the way. No question about it." Lucky says. "You said it Lucky, Thunderbolt always wins." Patch says.
Just then suddenly, the TV shuts off. Rolly in sudden surprise says, "Hey! Who turned off the TV?"
It was none other than Jewel, the necklace collared pup who was watching the episode form the back wall behind the pups with the remote. "Oh like, I'm sorry. I thought it was over." She says. Two-Tone then points out to Jewel, "But Jewel, there was going to be another episode of Thunderbolt right after that one!"
"Oh like, who cares?" Says Jewel, "I figured by that, Two-Tone, ye mean it would just be a preview of next episode anyway."
Two-Tone all aggrivated says to her, "It's NOT a preview, it was going to be another episode of Thunderbolt like I said."
Rolly says in a bit of desperation says, "Yeah and quite honestly, I still would like to see it." Patch agrees saying, "Yeah, Jewel. Crank the TV back up! We want to see who wins!"
Jewel sasses back to the pups, "Oh like, get real you guys, everything on Thunderbolt is pretty much all the same thing anyway!"
Cadpig then jumps up off the floor in a very angry mood and then starts walking over to Jewel asking her in much irritation, "And just how to you figure, Jewel!?"
Jewel then starts getting wrathed about the pups attitude and answers to Cadpig, "Well lets just get the facts here, Cadpig, shall we? Yall just tend to get such an attachment for that German Shepard." Patch says, "Psh, yeah. Says the one who seems to have an attachment for Fidget." Cadpig adds on, "Yeah, and besides Jewel, how often do you watch it with us? Oh, I will answer that...hmmmmm very rarely! Yeah, all you ever like to do is hang out with Fidget, who can't stop scratching himself on his habit of carrying about on fleas! Almost as if your just letting yourself get those bad bugs all over you!"
Two-Tone says in her mind, "Psh, reminds me of Dipstick" and then shakes her head in distress. "Well I happen to know this you guys, by just watching the Thunderbolt episode from behind yall and observing the action myself. And I also know by that matter, that ol' Thunderbolt is just nothing but about heroism. Ye know, bravery, violence, fearlessness, and courage. Like honestly, what else is different?" Jewel says.
Rolly then directs to Jewel, "Why should all that matter, Jewel?!" Lucky then adds on, "It is still worth checking out!" Jewel then back talks him, "Oh of course it is to you, Lucky! In fact, Thunderbolt just seems to be the only bit of excitement that yall ever get around here!" Rolly in defense says, "It most certainly is not!" Patch however thinks over about what Jewel just said and then points out to the gang, "You know guys, Jewel does have a point." The gang look at Patch a little staggered on what he just said as Patch continues on, "I mean, what about those good times yall have with Spotty?"
Lucky and Two-Tone then swallow in deep worry all wide-eyed and then look at each other nervously as the big argument is going on with the pups. Two-Tone then directs to them, "Ehehehe." Then she starts walking toward the front of Jewel and points out to the gang stating, "Guys I think that perhaps we should just leave that story for Spotty to tell us, dosen't that sound more fair?"
Lucky noddingly agrees saying, "Indeed, Two-Tone." He then directs to Jewel, "Now don't you and Fidget have something to do today?"
Jewel answers in much annoyance, "Oh of course I do, Lucky! Like as if he would be the only excitement that I myself would ever get around here because yall won't let me do diddly squat with you guys EVER! Every bit of action and fun that goes on around here is always between you guys, and Spotty! And yet, yall won't ever let me get involved, nor any one ELSE around here; and must I say, it's been quite long enough!"
Patch then adds on, "Yeah, and with me, the only thing that yall EVER like to do around here with me is watch Thunderbolt! Otherwise, yall just push me out of the way on everything else that goes on. I mean, come on guys! Sure I might have grown bigger since our times in London, but mind you guys that I still fit in well with this group."
Rolly then points out to Patch, "Uh, well yeah Patch, but honestly it really has nothing to do with that. Your size, that is."
Patch says defending himself, "Heh, well easy for YOU to say, Rolly! But I hate to burst your bubble but you happen to be WIDER than me for your information."
Rolly then growls angrily and says," HEY! I've said this to you guys thousands of times! I'm not FAT!" Jewel then says to Rolly, "Oh is that so, Rolly-Poly. If that's the case, then where is the sun? Hmmm? I can't seem to see it, thanks to your big fat butt!"
Rolly then growls over to Jewel face to face with her angrily red-eyed and nuzzling noses toward each other as he says, "Let me warn you, Jewel, that I can be quick with the tussling!"
Lucky and Two-Tone then start backing away from the gang as the tension in the angry pups seem to get worse. Lucky says in his mind, "Okaaaaaaaay, this is starting to get WAY out of hand here."
Jewel then pushes Rolly's face out of hers and then says to Rolly and Cadpig, "Well...with all do respect anyways, might I remind yall that you guys are the only ones who EVER catch rides on some weirdo bike or whatever it is that Spotty rides? I mean why not ever ME or anyone else?" Patch glares at the two and says, "Yeah! Or me?!"
Rolly answers all angry about, "Oh yall WILL get a turn, soon you guys!" Jewel demanding a proper answer says, "Well, WHEN!? I demand to know now, cause I deserve a turn just as much as I'd like to know exactly what it is that is going on with yall and Spotty!?" Patch nods in agreement and directs to the two, "That goes double for me!"
Cadpig then jumps out with much aggrivation in her self to try and stop all this nonsense, "ALRIGHT! THIS has gone far enough you guys!" She then whaps her ears about in much frustration with Patch and Rolly backing up about on Cadpig's actions, and then Cadpig looks over to Jewel and walks toward her. Cadpig then directs to Jewel to get the remote back so they can watch the next episode of Thunderbolt, "I hereby demand Jewel, that you give us the remote so that we can watch the next episode of Thunderbolt!" Cadpig then grabs the remote resulting to her and Jewel snagging it back and forth from each other as Cadpig continues on, "Mind yall, the only problem WE have is crowd control!"
The pups arguments and fight continues and the tension of snagging for the remote back gets even worse.
As the chaotic action continues on with the pups, Two-Tone and Lucky just leave the room and want absolutely no more dealing with that misery.
"We have got to keep Jewel apart from them, Lucky!" Two-Tone says in distress. Lucky gently nods in agreement in as much distress that Two-Tone is on right now, "Indeed, Two-Tone, indeed! Let's just go watch Thunderbolt in Mom and Dad's room."
As Lucky leads Two-Tone over to Pongo and Perdy's room, Two-Tone points out to Lucky, "All I gotta say is, Spotty, get home soon please." Lucky nods after hearing that statement from Two-Tone behind him.
Pongo and Perdy at that very moment notice Lucky and Two-Tone walking to their room to watch Thunderbolt. Then they hear some chaotic argument going on with the other Dalmatians in the room nearby via Perdy putting one ear up on the wall on said room.
Pongo then walks up closer to her, and after observing that nonsense from the pups from her hearing, Perdy then glares at Pongo and says, "So...Not too much conflict with the pups, huh?" Pongo then dwellingly grins to her, "Ehhehe-heh!"
Tune in next chapter with the Vandercremes and having their pizza together in their mansion with Spotty as they discuss how their lives have been and how Spotty gets traumatized with it all.
