Hell-o guys I'm baack! Here's the first chapter of Three's company

NOTE: I don't own any of the Duck Dodgers or Looney tunes characters. They're all the property of Warner Bros.

The day started off like every other day for Dodgers and Cadet; but little did they know it would change. On the ship, Captain Dodgers was sorting the mail. "Let's see... bill, bill, bill... Junk mail." He muttered. His eyes bucked when he noticed one of the envelopes had "Open immediately" printed on it in red. 'What?!' Dodgers wondered, he then opened it up and skimmed through the letter, "Oh-no," he groaned. Just then, Cadet looked up from the newspaper he was reading. "W-W-What's wrong Captain Dodgers?" he asked. "Apparently I'm wanted back in court again for that same case we settled two months ago." Dodgers answered. "B-but I thought we fixed that," said Cadet. "Yeah, we did, but it says here that the Martians thought we rigged it or something." Dodgers continued. "T-t-that's Idi- id-id- Crazy!" Cadet stuttered, "Oy... I think I'm gonna need some help...major help." said Dodgers

"I-I'm w-w-with a-all the way." Cadet announced, "Thanks, but I meant somebody besides you… I mean, I'll admit I was able to get myself out of that mess, but this time I need someone who's been in this type of situation before, someone who knows their way around it… someone who can really go toe-to-toe with those Martians." said Dodgers, just then he had an idea. "I got it!" he exclaimed and snapped his fingers. "W-wha-what have you got?" Cadet asked, "You'll see," Dodgers answered as he walked up to the bridge.

Three days later…

Dodgers had placed an ad for a voucher in a local newspaper and online. So far, no one had replied. Sometime in the afternoon he and Cadet got a response, "C-C-Captain Dodgers someone answered your ad!" said Cadet, "Really?" he asked "Y-y-yes, here's the address." Cadet explained. Dodgers looked at the print out of the address of where he was going to meet the person who responded to his ad. "You think this guy is serious?" Dodgers asked. "I-Is a b-b-bean green?" Cadet replied.

Sometime later in the city…

Both Dodgers and Cadet were waiting at a coffee shop." "Hi there," a female voice greeted them, "Who said that?" Dodgers asked. "Over here," said the voice Dodgers and Cadet looked around and saw what looked like a tricolor foxhound. Dodgers looked at Cadet then at the hound who wagging her tail. "A dog? This is my answer?" he asked himself then went over to the female foxhound and sat down next to her. "Hey there, I found your ad and you said you needed a voucher." she explained. "Do you know one?" Dodgers asked. "You're looking at her," said the tricolored dog. "You? But you're a dog." said Dodgers. "Yeah... what's wrong with that?" she asked, "Nothing," was Dodgers' reply. "Good... I'm Wanda." the female hound answered as she shook Dodger's hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Daffy but around here I'm known as... Duck Dodgers of the 24th1/2 century!" he answered in a dramatic tone. "But you can call me Dodgers for short," "Ok... uh... what exactly do you need my help for?" Wanda asked, "It's a long story" said Dodgers. He and Cadet then explained everything to Wanda from how Dodgers joined the protectorate to his current problem. "So, who's holdin' the grudge against you?" Wanda asked before taking a sip of her latte'." T-t-the Queen of Mars," said Cadet. Wanda nearly choked on her coffee; "D-d-d-did you say M-m-martians?" she stuttered. "Y-y-yes" Cadet replied. "Whoa, hold the phone… you mean we're dealing with those things you see in sci-fi movies, UFO shows and what is supposedly responsible for crop circles?" Wanda continued to ask. "Yes, yes… not sure but that last one." said Dodgers.

"Dang! I had no idea I was dealing with this." Wanda admitted. Though she worked on several cases, she often thought the whole Martian thing was fake. "But ok, I'll let it ride" she answered. Despite her so called 'house dog' appearance, Wanda worked in one of the attorney offices the downtown area. Just then she thought of something. "Wait a minute ... do you want me to vouch for you or are you looking for a lawyer?" she asked. "Not exactly, I already got an attorney" said Dodgers, "Oh, ok… well then… bye." Wanda barked and had started to leave but Dodgers grabbed her by the collar of her forest green jacket. "No wait! You don't understand! My lawyer is out of town at the moment so I need you... please!" Dodgers begged.

"Fine..." Wanda sighed, "If you're that desperate." "But could you do me a favor?" she asked. "Sure," said Dodgers, "Pay me $100 bucks… in advance." Wanda continued, "What?! Forget it!" said Dodgers. "All right, I'm sure your boss will understand," said Wanda regarding if Dodgers lost the case. "Ok, ok I'll pay you!" Dodgers exclaimed. "It's a deal." said Wanda. The next day, they were at the courthouse. Though Dodgers and Cadet were wearing their trademark outfits; Wanda normally had on a collar with her I.D. and rabies tags but decided to where a blue and white argyle shirt. "I hope you know what you're doing." Dodgers said nervously. "Relax, it's all in the bag now let break it down to you... I'll let you do all the talking then when it starts gettin' ugly I'll move in for the kill." Wanda explained. "The kill, right uh... what's the kill?" Dodgers asked. "That's the part where I come in." said Wanda, "Got 'cha' Dodgers replied. When they reached one of the meeting rooms it was empty since this was just between I.Q. Hi and the Martians there wasn't any need to bring back everyone that was involved. Wanda looked ahead and saw the Martians and felt nervous about the whole thing, "Uh w-w-who is that?" Wanda asked, "Th-That's Commander X-2." Cadet answered. "Not him, the taller one." said Wanda "Oh, that's the Martian Queen." said Dodgers "Somebody pinch me." said Wanda who's tail was now between her legs. "D'oh... shoot! What am I gonna do?" she groaned, "Y-Y-you're gonna win this, that's what you're gonna do." said Cadet

"Yeah, it's not like she'll hunt you down or something." Dodgers pointed out, "Phew! Good, but under these circumstances, I find her just a bit disturbing." Wanda whispered.

"I heard that, but if I were you I'd watch your back around her." said Dodgers. Wanda snickered, "Who her? Puh-lease, I've dealt with stool pigeons who were worse than that." she continued. After talking for over an hour, Queen Tyr'ahnee noticed Wanda sitting in the corner, occasionally looking over at Dodgers and everyone else then back at the wall.

Her brown eyes stared back Tyr'ahnee. "Hello there," she greeted her in an attempt to cover up being nervous. "Hello," said Queen Tyr'ahnee. Wanda's eyes bucked, she had been used to humans and other animals but this was different. "Sorry if I've been quiet this whole time… name's Wanda." she answered. "And you are…?" Wanda asked. "Tyr'ahnee," the Martian Queen replied. whispered, Wanda blinked twice. "That's your name?" she asked, The Queen nodded "Um… just for now, would you mind if I called ya 'T'?" Wanda asked, "No, it's ok." Queen Tyr'ahnee answered. Wanda then glanced over at X-2. "So... you're real name's Marvin right?" Wanda asked. She remembered Cadet mentioning him during their conversation the day before. "Yes," Marvin answered. "You're name reminds someone I knew… it actually rhymed with your name." said Wanda. "Was it Arvin?" Marvin asked. "Oh yeah! That's it... you know anyone with that name?" Wanda replied. "Not really," said Marvin "Ok, well never mind then…" said Wanda then she noticed Marvin staring for no reason. "Marvin? Marvin? Marv are ya home?" Wanda asked as she waved a paw in front of his face. "Hey!" she yelled. "W-what?" he stuttered. "You were staring," Wanda told him. It didn't take long for her to figure it out. "Whoa... wait a sec..." "What is it?" Marvin asked, "You like T don't you?" Wanda continued. "Who are you talking about?" Marvin asked once more. Wanda tilted her head, pointing towards Queen Tyr'ahnee. "Who? Her? I'm not like that," said Marvin trying to deny the whole thing. "Yeah, sure you're not." Wanda replied as she rolled her eyes in the opposite direction. She then noticed Marvin was rather quiet.

"Hey, no hard feelings?" said Wanda as she held out her paw so she and Marvin could shake hands, "None at all," he said, the minute he touched Wanda's paw the hand buzzer she had hidden went off! "Aah! Ouch! Ohhh! Stop this crazy thing!" Marvin yelled, "Just let go." Wanda called out to him, when he let go the hand buzzer flipped off. "Oh-ho no, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." Dodgers laughed "Oh boy, I could watch this all day or until you're burnt to a crisp." he said, "Sorry, I couldn't resist." Wanda replied, "Actually, I thought it was hilarious performance." said Queen Tyr'ahnee. "Y-y-you ok?" Cadet asked, "I'll be fine once, I regain the amount of dignity I've got left." Marvin answered. "Hey Wanda, We're leaving!" Dodgers called. "I'll meet ya in the lobby." she replied. "Uh... T, just a question... are you single?" Wanda asked, "Well... yes, sure " Tyr'ahnee answered. "What about you?" she asked. "Me? Oh no, I got a husband, no kids mind you... his name is Kenny, I'll have introduce you to him some time." said Wanda. "Well then... I guess I'll be seeing you." Queen Tyr'ahnee replied. "Bye," Wanda barked and headed out the door. "Nice dog, isn't she?" Tyr'ahnee asked. "Oh yes... except now I feel like the only thing that I would find entertaining after she embarrassed me is watching re-runs of Tom and Jerry." Marvin answered. "You know something? If I were you I wouldn't worry too much about this." said Tyr'ahnee. "Thank you for sharing that..." Marvin continued. 'I'll put that away' he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Dodgers dropped Wanda off at the bus stop. "Thanks for the lift, D." she said. "No problem," Dodgers replied. "Here's my cell phone number" she said as she handed him a piece of paper "Wait a second you have a cell phone?" he asked "Yep, if a human can use one why can't I?" she asked. "Good point... See you tomorrow." said Dodgers and with that they went their separate ways. Wanda then got on the bus, dropped some change in the slot and sat down. She had a lot of things to tell Kenny and her friends, but this was only the start.

End of this Chapter...

I plan to update this over the next few weeks, until then this is what I've done so far. I hope y'all don't mind the editing. Just bringing it up-to-date and making some changes. Also, Wanda is a quadro-morph type dog. In other words, she walks on all fours but can also write. Take Sylvester for example. This story was originally written back in 2003 when Duck Dodgers was new. But aside from that…
