Gruetly Bay Farm Life

Season one Episode eight: A Bark Brigade Rivalry

Rock music started playing for the opening theme, and after a couple seconds, Lucky was shown to be skateboarding out of the barn with a confident smile. "London to Gruetly Bay is kind of a big change! (Patch is shown to be drawing something while sitting under a tree and hi fiving Lucky as he skates by) But Lucky's gonna take it on cause the mission's in range! (Two-tone is shown to be helping the pink pig from the intro with a dress as she waves to Lucky as he skates by) He and his friends are ready for whatever comes their way! (Rolly is shown to be reading a cooking magazine while giving a thumbs up to Lucky as he passes by) And they'll be by each other's side every day!"

Lucky is then shown to be talking to Roxie with the two showing clear feelings for one another. "Romance, (Lucky is shown to be punching a ferret that tries to attack him) action, (Lucky and his friends are shown to be various activities in the Bark Brigade) it doesn't matter! They're gonna work hard to make it better! (Lucky is shown to be punching Mooch right in the jaw) Bullies, (Lucky is shown to be struggling to sit through one of Tibbs' lectures) boredom, they can get through it! (Lucky is shown to be admiring his butt in a mirror before he jumps out the window) And Lucky is the leader who's gonna become most fit!"

The song then finished with the song finishing in an epic rock fashion as Lucky skateboards down the ladder to the window of the barn's top floor. "He's skateboard packed and ego charged! (Lucky is shown giving a sly grin and finger bang to some nearby animals who're annoyed by his ego) Cocky bugger livin' large! (Lucky spots Cruella about to hit one of his siblings) But when danger comes a knockin'; (Lucky saves his sibling and gets out of the way) he's ready for nose popping!"

Lucky and his friends then do their own individual poses with Lucky doing a peace sign, Patch giving a cheerful smile, Two-tone giving a friendly wave, and Rolly patting his stomach. "He's ready to get through the strife, (Lucky and his friends are seen spotting something in the distance) in his new Gruetly Bay Farm, Life!" The screen blows up with it then showing Lucky and Tripod racing neck and neck for what was presumably their big test while being exceptionally determined to beat the other at all costs, and Lucky's friends following from behind.

It was a typical day at Bark Brigade school, and Lucky was having another rivalry moment with Tripod. The two of them were laying on their stomachs in the grass for an arm wrestling match, and despite doing well, Lucky was starting to lose. He then felt some indigestion, and decided to mess with Tripod by hitting him with a smug burp. Tripod gagged from the green cloud, and he couldn't really do anything about it because he only had one front paw. He was quick to call Lucky out on it after he was finished coughing though. "Hey! No one said we could burp at each other!"

"No one said we couldn't either." Lucky reminded Tripod smugly, seeming confident that he could beat Tripod now. "Only rules I know of are arm down, and only one arm max." Tripod decided to test Lucky on that one, and he let out a burp himself after feeling his own sense of indigestion. The green cloud hit Lucky in the face, only he was able to actually waft it away. The two of them continued burping at each other with the rest of the class being stunned by all of their gas.

Once Lucky and Tripod were done burping, the two of them decided to really test their inner gas resistance skills with the grossest bodily gas of them all. The two of them nodded to each other and looked directly at their own eyes. Once they knew they were on the same page, the two rivals pushed as hard as they could with their arms, while also scrunching their faces as they both pushed out...

PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

...two individual twenty second farts that were ripe and brassy to their core, and the yellow clouds of rotten eggs they expelled made the rest of the class gag as they were surrounded by the noxious fumes with both of their butts vibrating from the releases. Some of the other students, such as Two-tone...

BRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAT

...Patch...

PFFFFFT

...and Blake...

PHHHHHT

...let out farts to counter the smell of Lucky and Tripod's, Two-tone's being five seconds with a green cloud of moldy vegetables, which was released into Blake's face by accident, and Patch and Blake's being three seconds each with green kibble scented clouds. They found themselves unable to do so. Lucky and Tripod smiled proudly as they continued their arm wrestling, and Lucky's paw was almost touching the table. Once Tripod slammed it down, he pulled the front of his headband and let it go, letting it snap on his forehead. He then offered Lucky a paw shake after the pup sulked a bit. Knowing that Tripod was being genuine, Lucky got over his distaste for losing and happily accepted it.

The others had to admit that they weren't surprised to find that Lucky and Tripod decided to gas out the area. Two-tone also took the time to apologize to Blake about something related to that. "Sorry Blake; I believe my butt was in front of you when I farted."

"That's okay. Yours still smelled heavenly compared to those two." Blake admitted with a laugh, and then he wafted the area's odor away along with everyone else.

Patch then walked over to Lucky and Tripod, hoping they hadn't forgotten about why they were coming together today. "So, are we gonna make the time to attend class today?"

"Oh, right!" Lucky then looked to Tripod, knowing that both of them would be up for another race. "Last one there is uglier than my hot butt!"

"As if that's even hard to accomplish!"

"It is when you have a stump holding you back!"

"Then let's see you prove it!"

And once the two were done with their rivalry bickering, they headed off to attend the next Bark Brigade class with the others following behind them.

Lucky and the rest of the Bark Brigade class were now all lined up at a starting line as Pug informed them of their big test instructions. "Alright maggots! Today, you will fulfill your test to become closer to reaching the rank of Deputy in the Bark Brigade! This test will be grueling! This test will be painful! This test will hurt you!" Lucky was starting to get impatient, which Pug noticed and got into his face while screaming at him. "ARE YOU TRYING TO START A HOT STREAK WITH-"

Lucky retorted by smacking Pug to the side before he could finish, and he was extremely close to having an anger provoked meltdown as he interrupted him. "Can't you see we get the point already!?" Pug rolled for a bit as Lucky glared at him with obvious anger in his eyes. "I don't need the newly discovered megaphone dog blaring in my face that he thinks breaking my eardrums is a good way to flex his authority!"

After Lucky got that out of his system, Patch was quick to console Lucky by rubbing his shoulder. "It's okay Lucky." Lucky then started fearing what the others would think while also feeling awful for scaring some of them. "You stopped him; he won't do anything else."

"I'm sorry I lost it."

"It's okay. It's okay."

Mooch scoffed at how Patch was, from his perspective anyway, babying Lucky, and Tibbs then chimed in after a few seconds when Lucky was completely calm. "Well then. I think to avoid anymore drama happening, I'll go ahead and start the course now. The obstacles are along the path, you may progress through them as you wish. Best of luck to you all!" Tibbs shot a starter's pistol in the air, and despite Lucky being startled from the sound, he was reactive enough to rush forward with the other students. Blake ended up watching the bullet for a bit before Tibbs patiently caught his attention. "Blake. The test."

"Oh yeah! Thanks Tibbs!" Blake rushed off after the others, making sure not to be in last place for this test.

With Lucky now racing neck and neck with Tripod, he laughed a bit at how he reacted when Tibbs shot the starter's pistol. "Kinda weird how that starter pistol threw me off. I knew it was coming."

Tripod laughed a bit in response to that, and the two of them then came across the first obstacle. It involved using a swinging rope to get over hot coals, and the two pups nodded to each other as they both jumped on their own individual ropes over it without fail. Tripod managed to hold on just fine with just one paw, and when he and Lucky landed, he felt impressed with himself. "No sweat!"

Lucky and Tripod dashed onward with the two of them rushing off at max speed, and the two of them came across an obstacle of jumping through tires. The two did this with ease, or, Lucky did first, as he jumped off of Tripod's head to get a boost. He then laughed as he ran on ahead. "Better speed up Stump Leg!"

"Ha! I'm not out of breath yet Horseshoe!" Tripod taunted back as he jumped through the tire after winding up a running jump. Lucky then arrived at what looked like a rickety bridge across the road.

Lucky ran across the road without hesitation, "Whoa!" almost getting hit by someone on a bike before diving and rolling forward. He then called over to the guy on the bike. "Sorry dude!"

"All good!"

Tripod was following behind quickly behind as Lucky continued running, and when they arrived at the rickety bridge, Lucky accidentally broke the first plank. It was clearly an old plank, and the broken platform Lucky broke almost made him fall in. Tripod stopped him by grabbing onto his tail, which he gave him a grateful thumbs up for. Tripod then started running on the edge of the bridge as Lucky jumped onto the wood planks that looked more stable. They were both able to get across, but Lucky did his best to at least try and match his speed once again.

Meanwhile with the others, Patch was in a decent place in the race, and he then caught sight of Roxie and Bella, who were right behind Mooch. Patch sped up and ran up to them, deciding to chat with Bella a bit as they got to the road and looked both ways. "Gotta say Bella. Knowing Pug, I kind of expected something a little more angry than this."

"Tell me about it." Bella agreed, and Bella then complained about how rude Pug was to Lucky. "I can't believe he tried to provoke Lucky like that. He didn't even do anything before then to deserve that."

"Even after three weeks of living here, the place is full of surprises." Patch admitted as they crossed the road with Roxie and Mooch.

Mooch was then about to speak up, and Roxie quickly advised him not to try anything. "It's not worth it dude." Mooch growled in annoyance with Roxie winking to Patch, having known that Mooch was gonna try and make him look bad.

Lucky and Tripod had arrived at the obstacle after the old bridge, and it looked as if it involved swimming through a part of Hiccup Hole. Lucky knew he'd have the advantage here, and he and Tripod smirked to each other before jumping in. Lucky quickly gained the lead with Tripod struggling thanks to his stump. Nearby, Pug was in a pool floatie as he yelled at the others to move it. "Swim faster ya worthless zebra rip offs! My Grandma could swim faster than you, and she's dead!" This of course, backfired on him when Lucky pulled the plug on his floatie.

As Pug sank on his floatie while giving a frightened look, Lucky swam onward with Tripod swimming past Pug in an attempt to catch up. Once Lucky's friends and Mooch arrived, Pug arrived back up to shore with Mooch getting excited at a thought he had. "Don't tell me. Was it Lucky who did this?"

"Who else would it be!?" Pug shouted, and then he pointed over to where Lucky was, and he seemed close to the next obstacle. "Whatever you do, don't let Luckless win this!"

The others caught onto what Pug was trying to do with Roxie and Bella nodding to each other and flattening Pug before jumping into the water. The others followed from behind with Mooch swimming on ahead as fast as he could in an attempt to beat Lucky once and for all. Lucky had waited for Tripod by the end of the swimming course, and the two hi fived before starting the climb up a large wall. Once the others started arriving at the obstacle, Rolly started to complain about how much energy this was taking out of him. "I'm all for losing weight, but this is a pretty brutal start."

"On the plus side, no one can say you weren't slacking off in getting fit." Patch pointed out, and Rolly laughed a bit when he realized that Patch was right there.

Roxie noticed Mooch taking out a slingshot and attempting to hit Lucky with it, throwing a rock at him just before he could fire. "Ow!" Roxie then quickly made her climb, and as she did, the others followed behind as Mooch threatened Roxie. "You're gonna pay for that Roxie!" Roxie gave a loser sign to Mooch, who started to boil with anger before he began his own climb up the rock wall. Lucky made his climb, and Tripod did shortly after, since his lack of a fourth leg was a lot easier to get past with climbing than swimming.

Lucky and Tripod saw the finish line and dashed off at top speed, refusing to lose the race at any cost. As the two ran neck and neck, they saw Colonel and Tibbs right there waiting for the first one to cross. Nothing was going to stop either of the Dalmatians now. They were both maintaining the same speed as they gained on the finish line. Once the two were super close to the end, they dove down to the finish line and went at the same speed and distance. Once the dust cleared, Colonel and Tibbs finished coughing from the dust, which caused Tibbs to sneeze upon nose contact.

Colonel and Tibbs saw that Lucky and Tripod had crossed the finish line at the same time. They didn't exactly have proof as to who made it first. Tibbs had a photo from his phone that he took just in case, but the dust covered up the lens and prevented him from being able to see for sure. Lucky and Tripod saw that they were confused and Lucky spoke up. "Any idea which one of us wins?"

"I can't say it's possible right now Lucky." Tibbs admitted, showing him and Tripod the photo of the dust. "The two of you seem to have been neck and neck in the race."

Tripod felt that there was a reason for the draw and spoke up on Lucky's behalf. "Maybe you should get the win Lucky. You would've won if you didn't wait for me at the end of the swimming segment."

Lucky was surprised to hear that, and didn't want Tripod's humbleness to be his downfall. "I did that for a reason dude. Your missing leg was an obvious setback during the swimming and climbing parts. It wouldn't be fair to use that alone to win."

"Regardless of who crossed the finish line first," Colonel chimed in, walking up to the two Dalmatians as he spoke up about their status. "The test wasn't made for you to win. You were merely supposed to finish the race." Lucky and Tripod looked at each other, and then back at Colonel, who was smiling at them proudly. "You two did fantastic in the race as well. That alone shows that you could very easily become deputies if you want to."

Lucky and Tripod were ecstatic to hear that with Mooch being angry about that as he walked up to them. "You have to be kidding me Grandpa! Lucky deflated Pug's floatie and almost had him drown!"

Lucky blew a raspberry at Mooch, and Colonel was quick to speak up on Lucky's behalf. "As serious as this sounds Mooch, how do I know this isn't another one of your many attempts to make someone look bad through false information?"

"Pug told me himself!" Mooch shouted, and then he realized that Pug wasn't very trustworthy either. "Then again, Pug might've baited him. Wait; what am I defending Lucky for!?" Lucky and the others laughed at Mooch's ridiculous dilemma with Mooch not being sure what to do at the moment. Lucky also thought about the title of deputy, and how he was getting closer to reaching it thanks to his performance today.

Later that night, Lucky and the rest of the Bark Brigade were by a campfire in front of Colonel and Tibbs' home. Lucky and Tripod were currently being congratulated on their tie victory in today's test race. As Tibbs handed them their gold medals to indicate their victory, he spoke proudly of their feats. "You two proved yourselves to be more than commendable cadets today. Here's hoping you can continue to shine in the Bark Brigade, and one day become the deputies you strive to be."

Once Lucky knew Tibbs was done, he was quick to point out how great this felt. "This feels great. And not just because it's my first medal."

"Let's hope the next test is as rewarding as this one." Tripod said right after, and then they heard Pug screaming from nearby.

"YOU CAN'T SERIOUSLY BE REWARDING THAT HORSESHOE SPOTTED BRAT!"

Pug ran over to everyone else with Colonel advising him to calm down. "Pug, please. Don't ruin everyone else's good time."

"It's a good time Luckless doesn't deserve to have!" Pug declared, walking up to Lucky, who was instantly getting annoyed by his behavior. "You could've killed me you whiny little brat! If I wasn't close to shore when you pulled the plug, I would've drowned!"

"You being close to the shore is WHY I did it!" Lucky shouted back, knowing that Pug wasn't going to ruin his night. "Do you really think I'm psychotic enough to kill you over a few insults that even tree hugging hippies would find polite!?" Lucky then quickly made sure Cadpig knew who he was trying to insult. "No offense to you Cadpig."

"None taken." Cadpig assured Lucky with a thumbs up, knowing full well just how much he and Pug hated each other.

Pug wasn't having anything from Lucky however, and he continued to shout at him at the top of his lungs as he began choking him. "I OUGHTA MAKE YOU RUN FIFTY LAPS AROUND-"

Lucky smacked Pug to the side, and made him roll over to right behind where Colonel was standing. Pug saw where he was and saw that Colonel was about to sit on him, which he did before Pug could start begging him not to.

Colonel crushed Pug with his big butt, and as Pug let out muffled shouts, Colonel looked back with a stern look that made why he was doing this clear. "I warned you not to ruin the mood Pug. We don't need any drama caused by your behavior." Tibbs found this behavior to be quite humorous, as did most of the other students. Colonel also made sure to get comfy on the grass as he was sitting on Pug, who was clearly suffering under there. As Pug continued to scream and beg for Colonel to get off of him, Colonel's butt was shown as he looked down at it and...

PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT

...a loud and bassy fifteen second fart that made Colonel's butt vibrate as it suffocated Pug with a yellow cloud of rotten eggs. Pug was done shouting, and as Colonel lifted his butt, he was gasping for air and tried his hardest to avoid passing out as Colonel laughed at his punishment. Pug ended up falling off of Colonel's butt, and despite the hilarity of the situation, Lucky couldn't help thinking about one detail regarding the night. "Wait. This isn't going to get me evicted from the Bark Brigade, is it?"

"I doubt it. I saw how close Pug was to the shore, so there was no possible chance of him dying." Lucky was relieved to hear that, and then he got a whiff of Colonel's fart and wafted it away.

About ten minutes later, all of the Bark Brigade was lining up with Lucky sounding somewhat bossy when telling Spot and Blake where to place his sound gear. "Do I have to say this again? Small stereo on top of big stereo!"

"We're getting there Lucky; sheesh!" Spot complained, feeling that Lucky was starting to get out of hand. "I know you've been planning this for weeks, but we just got started."

Lucky saw Spot's point and sighed in response to it. He held his guitar as he apologized for his behavior. "I know, I'm sorry. I'm just stressed about this. I've never performed in front of a live crowd before."

Blake was quick to comfort Lucky after he finished with what he had set up. Despite Lucky being startled by him jumping up and putting his paws onto his shoulders, he did appreciate Blake's comfort. "I know I'll like your first show Lucky. And most of us are your friends. I'm sure they'll like it too."

Lucky saw Blake's point there, and then he heard Roxie's voice from nearby, and it made him happy. "Especially if you show the you they know and love."

Lucky looked to Roxie, who walked over to them with a confident smile, and Lucky couldn't help but smile upon seeing her with hearts starting to pop above his head. "Y-you do have a point there Roxie. I just hope I don't make everyone in the audience go deaf."

"You're not gonna make them go deaf;" Roxie began, being baffled that Lucky would ever think that. "come on dude. When's the last time someone went deaf when listening to acoustic guitar?" Lucky laughed a bit when he realized how stupid he was being with that one.

Patch was in the crowd sitting next to Bella, and he looked to Tripod, who was also sitting next to him. "This is gonna be great Tripod. Lucky's very first public show!"

"Yep. It's been a long time coming. At least three months." Tripod chimed in, indicating that Lucky's had his guitar for that long now. "I just hope he doesn't get stage fright."

Lucky and Roxie came onto the stage and looked at the crowd with Lucky seeming a little tense in the moment, as did Roxie. Lucky cracked a quick joke about it to Roxie to ease the tension. "I just learned another reason some people stage dive." Roxie snickered a bit from the joke, and then Lucky walked up to the microphone. Despite it being clear that he was nervous, he grabbed the microphone and got ready to begin the show. "Hello everyone. As you all know, my name is Lucky Dearly. This is actually the first show I've ever done in front of a crowd."

Roxie stood behind Lucky, having memorized the lyrics to the song he wrote. Lucky continued as he gave the others some more context on this. "Roxie and I haven't performed before this, and we only had one rehearsal before tonight." Lucky looked around to see that everyone was patient and supportive. Well, almost everyone. It was pretty obvious who wasn't. "Anyway... sorry if this sucks!" Lucky looked down at his guitar and spoke to himself while shaking his head with a smile. "Let's rock."

Lucky started playing his guitar to a casual, yet inspiring beat, which was the kind he wanted to go for with the song. When he saw that he had everyone's attention, he started singing the song he wrote for them: The Bark Brigade. "I know there's always danger that lies ahead. To miss it would be impossible, at least for someone like me. When I look at it however, I don't run off right away. Instead I try to look onward and be brave with what I see. I must confess that I may not get it right every time. But even when I fail, I try to pick myself back up."

Lucky then nodded to Roxie, allowing her to sing the next part of the song for him. "I wanna prove to everyone that I'm a more than capable pup." Lucky saw that everyone was liking the song, which made him happy as Roxie continued singing. "It's okay to feel fear, it's in all of us here, and part of why we're here is to learn to overcome it. It doesn't make you weak, it's improvement we seek, heck; even doing this for fun is a solid fit."

Roxie nodded to Lucky, who got ready to sing the next verse, which he was now more prepared for. "I'll show I'm ready to try. I'll show I'm ready to rise. I'm ready to show that no matter what I face, I will give battle cries. Even though I don't always know what lies ahead, I'll always stand tall, and prove to you, that you won't be misled." Lucky then started to notice that his song was working, much to his delight. "I can't say I'll always succeed. And I hate to let you down. Believe me; the last thing I want, is to make you all frown. But I'll always try, no matter what, I'll help in this crusade. I'll stay loyal for as long as I can to the Bark Brigade."

Everyone was clearly enjoying the song, and Lucky then nodded to Roxie as the two of them got ready for what they planned to be the first duet part of the song. The two proved to sing beautifully together when they began as well. "Wherever my future takes me, I'll never forget our time spent with you. I hope the time you've spent with me has been a joy for you all of you too." Lucky and Roxie couldn't help looking at each other after that line. Thankfully, they quickly focused back on the crowd. "The future can't be predicted right every single time. But I'll make as sure as we can that my contribution is sublime."

Lucky then sung the last part of the song that was written for one canine. He felt great as he sung it too, smiling as he sang the lyrics aloud. "This, proof, that I grant to you all. It's the tenacity that I show when I get up after I fall. I know I can do well if I try. And I'm not about to kiss what I love goodbye." Some of the pups started howling happily, which Lucky was startled by, but he was able to continue singing, since he knew where it came from. "The effort I give will always be my full determination. And my time in this Brigade so far has been a real sensatioooooon."

Lucky and Roxie then sang the last part of the song together as a duet, seeing that the audience loved it as much as they'd hoped. "I won't give up when things get hard even when trying seems that way. No matter what, I'll fight past my struggles, to help the people of Gruetly Bay." Colonel nodded with a smile in approval of the song, and Lucky's clear dedication to the Brigade. "The struggles are there for all to see, but my loyalty won't fade."

Lucky nodded to Roxie, who finished the song with a genuine message of love to the Bark Brigade. "Even if I move on, I will always love... the Bark Brigade." Lucky finished with one final strum, and everyone else in the crowd started cheering, with the exception of Mooch, Pug, and a couple other Dalmatians. Lucky was ecstatic to see that they all loved his music, and he wasn't even bothered by how loud the cheering was. He instead hi fived Roxie, who was as happy for him as he was for himself.

As everyone was getting ready to head home later that night, Lucky was putting his guitar away on the stage as he heard Tripod's voice. "Great show tonight Lucky."

Lucky looked back to see Tripod walking up to him, and after he sat down next to him, he smiled with gratitude. "Thanks Tripod. It felt great to finally play my music up on a stage tonight."

"I bet." Tripod replied, knowing that Lucky's wanted to do this ever since he got his guitar. "When do you think your next show will be?"

Lucky started to think about that, and he wasn't quite sure when his next show would be. He knew he wanted to do more shows like this, but he also knew he'd need a good opportunity to do so. "I guess we'll have to wait until I find another opportunity." Tripod got that, knowing Lucky couldn't just perform with a finger snap. Lucky then decided to put the subject on something that he felt was on Tripod's mind. "So when do you think Colonel will decide who the next Deputy is going to be?"

"Who knows?" Tripod asked, knowing that no one could really have a definitive answer. "I guess at the end of the quarter. Assuming this is like human school in that sense." Tripod grabbed a hold of his headband and let it snap on his forehead before he finished what he had to say. "One thing I CAN say is that it's gotta be one of us."

"You're right about that one." Lucky then started to brag about his own set of skills being what leads to him becoming Deputy. "And by that, you mean the better of us. Me."

"Tch. Says the dog who lost to me in arm wrestling today." Tripod reminded Lucky, and then he looked up at the stars as he talked about how cool rising in the Bark Brigade ranks would be. "Just think about the two of us becoming Bark Brigade captains. We'd get to lead a whole new generation of cadets to rise up in the ranks and help the citizens of Gruetly Bay."

Lucky laughed a bit at the way Tripod worded that, having quite the idea as to what that sounded like. "Dude; you sound like we're protecting everyone from genocidal maniacs." Lucky laughed a bit more with Tripod shrugging in response. Lucky then started to wonder what the next test would be. "I wonder what they'll have us do next. You think they'll have us run through an even tougher obstacle course?"

"Nah, they probably wouldn't want it to be repetitive." Tripod brought up, knowing that there was more to obstacle courses. "Still; whatever they through at us, it's like you said in your song. We won't give up when things get hard."

Lucky was glad to hear that reference to his song. He was glad to see his work having an impact. "You said it Tripod. Let's do our best to stand by it." Lucky and Tripod fist bumped and then looked up at the stars together. As they saw a shooting star, they both felt it as a symbol of the rivalry the two of them shared. It further boosted their confidence in getting as far in the rankings as they could, while also never giving up in their quest to do so.

Lucky and Tripod were climbing up the ladder to the bedrooms of the barn with both of them climbing up their own side and making it at the same time. Lucky was quick to boast about the idea of him supposedly winning once again. "Yes! Lucky Dearly wins once again! Feel free to gaze at his butt! He wouldn't blame you!"

Tripod rolled his eyes while smiling, and he also advised Lucky to keep it down a little. "Easy on the megaphone there dude. We don't need mum and dad waking up."

"Mum and dad sleep with Pongo and Perdita." Lucky reminded Tripod as he went over to his game collection. "We'll be fine so long as we don't clear out the barn again." Tripod figured that made enough sense, and as he went over to where Lucky was, the horseshoe spotted Dalmatian explained what he was doing. "May do an all day video game marathon tomorrow to start off the weekend. Just gotta make sure-" Lucky then realized that his game collection was unorganized, and he instantly got annoyed about it. "Oh great. Now I have to hyperfixate on this before I go to bed."

Tripod got a good look at the situation and gave Lucky a tip on what happened based on what he heard earlier. "Ya know, I heard Mooch talking to Dipstick and Whizzer after your show. Maybe one of them has something to do with this."

"I'll look into it. Thanks TP." Lucky then realized what he just implied there and corrected it quickly. "And that's not toilet paper by the way; it's just an abbreviation of your name. Not an insult under any meaning of it." Tripod nodded and assured Lucky was a gentle paw raise that he got it. Once Lucky noticed that, he called out to Dipstick and Whizzer in anger as he went down the ladder. "Dipstick! Whizzer! Did you two mess with my game collection!?"

As Tripod watched Lucky go down the ladder, he laughed a bit, and then he looked at looked at the game collection. He wished he knew how Lucky had this thing organized originally. "Probably best to leave it alone."

Lucky was walking over to the barn exit, and when he arrived at the entrance of the barn, he saw Mooch laughing with Dipstick and Whizzer. Lucky started fuming and gave a warning bark before he chased after the three, who ran off in response to warning. "You two had better have a good excuse for why my game collection is unorganized again!" Tripod was watching from the window, smiling as he saw what was going on. "Tripod already ratted your scheme with Mooch out! You know how I feel about this!" Tripod started laughing as he went off to bed as the screen faded to black, ending the chapter off.

An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.
