Continuing from where part 1 left off, with everything planned out, everyone begins setting up the food and decorations while Scamp is getting ready for his big night. Will his date go successfully? Or will he fail?
Ready? Sego!
Meanwhile, in the backroom. Danielle, Dexter, and Sam were still searching the boxes.
"Sam, you see anything?" Asked Dexter. Sam set aside yet another box and turned to him. "No, nothing in this one." Said Sam. Dexter jumped on top of a box and went over to a smaller one on top of it. "Maybe there's something in this box." Dexter said before opening it.
Danielle then popped out of it. "Oh, hey Dexter!" Danielle said happily. "Hey Danielle, did you find anything?" Dexter said casually as Sam walked over to them. "Nothing yet, I can't seem to find anything at all in these boxes." Said Danielle. "Yeah, neither can I." Said Dexter.
"Uh, Danielle, why were you in there?" Asked Sam. "Well, you've been setting aside these boxes, and I thought I'd double check to see if you missed anything." Danielle said with a smile. "Danielle… the boxes I've set aside are the ones with absolutely nothing in them. You and Dexter have been searching in empty boxes for the past ten minutes..." Said Sam, who was not amused.
It took a moment for them to process what he said, Danielle was the first to speak. "Ohhhh, that's why I can never find anything! I had a feeling something was up."
"Yeah, no kidding!" Said Sam. "Anyway, you guys search the boxes in this pile over there. If you find an empty box, move it over here and put it in a new pile right here."
"You got it Sam!" Said Danielle enthusiastically. Danielle leaped right out of the box and ran over to the pile, with Dexter and Sam following close behind.
After searching for the next half-hour, most of the boxes have been moved to the new pile in another corner of the room, all of which were empty. As Danielle and Dexter pushed two more empty boxes to the pile, Sam opened a box and found yet another empty one. Sam was really beginning to feel skeptical. "Okay, HOW many of these boxes are empty, this is getting ridiculous!" Sam said annoyed. He pushed the box aside for Danielle and Dexter to move to the pile.
Sam opened another box, and it too was empty. Sam sighed with frustration as he slid the box away. "I did say that most of the boxes were empty, but I didn't think it would be-…" Sam abruptly stopped when he saw that there were no boxes left. "… all of them…" Sam finished his sentence.
"Wait, ALL of them?" Danielle asked as Dexter finished pushing the last box to the pile. "Are you sure, Sam?" Asked Dexter. "Yes, yes I am. There aren't anymore boxes to search, they're all empty." Said Sam, who was feeling pretty annoyed that they wasted all of that time, searching around 50 boxes.
"If they're all empty, then I guess the extra decorations were inside the closet under the stairs." Said Danielle. "Well in that case, let's head out and see if Annette and Colette made any progress." Sam said before he turned around and started walking towards the door.
However, instead of finding the door, he was met with a large pile of boxes where the door should be. Sam looked at it for a moment before he turned to Danielle and Dexter, and sighed. "Why…?" Huffed Sam. "Why what?" Asked Dexter. "Why did you guys put the boxes there?" Sam said loudly.
Danielle and Dexter looked at each other for a moment before looking back at him. "Uhh… You… asked us too?" Said Danielle slowly. "Yeah, you asked us to put the empty boxes into a pile over there." Said Dexter. "Yes, I did say that, but I didn't tell you to put them in front of the door! Now we have to move them out of the way, so we can leave!" Sam said loudly.
"Well then, I guess you probably should've told us to put the boxes in front of the door." Said Danielle. Sam sighed. "Let's just start unblocking the door…" Sam said as he placed a hand on his face. Together, the three of them moved box after box until finally, after around five minutes of moving empty boxes, Sam was finally able to open the door.
Sam, followed by Danielle and Dexter walked out of the room and found Annette and Colette waiting by the closet, with a large pile of ribbons and bowties next to them. "Took you long enough…" Said Annette. "So, what did you find in there?" Asked Colette. "Nothing." Said Sam.
"Nothing? In that room? Nothing but some old stuff stored back there?" Annette asked in surprise. Sam shook his head. "No, I mean NOTHING. All of the boxes were empty. There was nothing but empty boxes in that room."
Colette chuckled a little. "Wow, what a fail." Colette said with a smirk. "Ha, ha, very funny Colette." Sam said sarcastically, "How many boxes did YOU guys search?" Asked Sam. Colette's smirk grew. "Just one."
Sam stood there silent for a moment before asking, "Just, ONE?" Colette nodded with a smug look, confirming his answer. "W-… why didn't you tell us?" Sam said loudly. "Well, you guys did seem busy and we didn't want to disturb you. So, we just waited patiently." Colette answered casually.
Sam exhaled hard from his nose; he clearly wasn't happy. "Great, now I'm even more annoyed…"
Annette rolled her eyes with a smirk before changing the subject. "Anyway, you can see that we found a lot of stuff from that one box, so we should have enough." Said Annette. Sam sighed. "Well, at least you guys found a good amount of decorations. Now, we should probably get this to the park and set up."
"But, how are we going to get them to the park?" Asked Danielle. Sam then came out with his answer as he walked into the backroom. "We can put these into one of the empty boxes from that… room." Sam continued as he walked back out of the room, carrying an empty box, "After that, we can try and find some form of transportation, or we can take the trip on foot." Sam said before setting the box down next to the pile of decorations.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's load this box!" Danielle said enthusiastically. The four puppies each grabbed a single ribbon or bowtie from the pile and placed it into the box, while Sam grabbed almost half the pile and dropped it inside. Eventually, they filled up the box.
Annette looked up at Sam. "So, what do we do with transportation?" Asked Annette. Sam thought for a moment. "Well, I would've said that we use the D.E., but it's gone now. So, I don't know." Said Sam. Danielle's eyes lit up as a thought popped into her head. "Hey, how about we use the hoverboard!" Danielle said happily.
Sam stared at her silently before asking in quiet confusion. "But how…? How are we going to use the hoverboard? Do we just stand on it, holding the box? Or do we have the box on it, and we pull it with a rope or something?" Sam's voice changed into an unamused tone, "Yeeaah, no… we're not using the hoverboard…"
Danielle tilted her head in confusion. "But why? Why can't we use it?" Asked Danielle. Sam then gave his answer. "Well for one, I don't see how it would get us there faster and or easier, and secondly, is bringing the hoverboard out into the public where everyone can see it, a good idea?" Asked Sam. Danielle was slow to respond. "Uhh… maybe?"
Sam's tone didn't change. "No, it's not a good idea. People will just see some weird pink board that's magically floating in midair. Then eventually, the whole world would be scrambling on trying to find out how it works and research the technology, affecting the future. The D.E. may be gone, but we can still damage the future by doing something like that. And by the way, when I visited the year 2019, last I checked, there were no hoverboards, or anything that resembled it."
His tone then changed into that of a thoughtful one, "Aside from those boards that look kind of like it but was on two wheels on the sides and are not actually floating. I only see one or two of those, but really, everyone just walks down the street, looking down into these strange, metal and glass things with pictures and words on them…" Sam trailed off and began stuttering, "2- 2019 is a very weird place okay!"
Annette then changed the subject back. "Anyway, how about we search your lab? There's probably something in there." It took a moment for Sam to respond. "I highly doubt it Annette…" Sam said flatly. "But still, it wouldn't hurt if we check anyway." Said Dexter. Sam sighed, "Alright, fine. But don't expect to find anything." Said Sam.
Together, the five of them went outside and walked over to the door into the garage. Sam opened it and they walked inside. After they looked around the room to see if they could find anything, Sam looked down at them. "See? What did I tell you? There's nothing in here." Said Sam.
"We can try using that bike." Danielle suggested. Sam looked at her in confusion. "Bike? What bi…" Sam trailed off when he set his eyes upon a bicycle propped against a wall.
The bike still had a set of training wheels on it, as if they were never removed. A large metal basket wielded on the back of it, and a wooden basket attached to the handles on the front. The bike itself was all scratched up and dirty, looking like it hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. Along with that, the bike and the metal basket on top had several dents on the back.
"That bike over there! We can place that box of decorations into the basket on the back, and we can be inside the front basket!" Danielle said happily.
But her happiness turned into confusion when Sam didn't respond. She, Annette, Colette and Dexter looked at Sam and saw that he was staring at the bike, looking a little unhappy. They couldn't tell, but they could've sworn they saw his eyes watering slightly.
"Uh… Sam?" Dexter said quietly, trying to get his attention, but Sam didn't respond. "Sam!" Annette said loudly. "H-Huh?" Sam said as he shook his head and snapped out of it. "Is something wrong?" Asked Colette with concern. Sam took a moment to get his words together. "Oh, I'm fine… it's just that… I don't know about this…" Sam said slowly. "Why? Can't you ride that bike?" Asked Danielle.
"I don't know… can I…?" Sam said slowly. Annette wasn't really amused at how he pulled that same trick he pulled on Jim Dear earlier. But her look changed back into confusion after noticing that Sam didn't sound like he was joking around. "Well, what do you mean? Haven't you ridden a bike before?" Asked Annette.
"Yes, I have, Annette. But the thing is, the last bike I rode on was this one, and that was QUITE a while ago." Said Sam. "Um, how long is 'QUITE a while ago?'" Asked Colette. "Long enough that I've grown a little since then. I don't even know IF I still fit on this bike." Said Sam.
"But you might still fit though, right?" Danielle said in an encouraging tone. Sam glanced at the bike and looked back at her. "I mean, I guess it's worth a shot… Let's give it a try." Said Sam as he walked toward the bike.
Sam dragged the bike toward the door, opened it and walked outside with it. Danielle and Dexter followed him out, pushing the box of decorations to him. Sam picked up the box and placed it in the metal basket in the back.
As Annette and Colette walked out of the garage, Sam began to speak. "Alright, Guys, sunset will be in less than an hour. I bike you guys to the park and the designated place. Then I'll head of to Tony's and get the food Scamp needs while you guys set up everything."
Colette walked over to him. "Well, only Danielle and Dexter are going on the ride. I have to stay behind and get Scamp all spiffed up, while Annette keeps Angel occupied."
"Alright, okay…" Sam said in his thinking tone. He then turned to Danielle and Dexter. "Alright guys, get ready for a ride!" Sam said before he picked up both puppies and placed them into the front basket. Danielle turned to Dexter, looking excited. "This is going to be fun!" Danielle said eagerly. Dexter smiled shyly in agreement.
After waiting for what felt like a minute, they turned to look back at Sam, wondering what was taking him so long, and what they saw, puzzled them. Sam was gazing at the bike again, mainly at the scratches and dents on the back, again looking a little unhappy.
"Uh, Sam?" Dexter said to try and get his attention. Sam turned to him and snapped out of it. "H-huh, what is it?" Sam asked quickly. "Are you okay? Is something bothering you?" Dexter asked with concern. "I'm fine, there's nothing bothering me. I just haven't seen my old bike since the last time I rode it. It's just… bringing back memories." Said Sam.
He then quickly changed his mood, "Anyway, let's get going!" Sam said optimistically before he kicked up the bike stand and mounted his bike. He glanced over to Annette and Colette. "Alright, you guys do your parts, we're gonna head out." Said Sam. Annette and Colette nodded happily in response.
Sam looked straight ahead toward the end of the driveway, and he hesitated. "Well, here goes… let's see if I still got it." Sam said nervously. Sam said before he took a deep breath and began pushing on the pedals.
The bike rolled down the driveway, picking up speed. Sam swerved the bike to the right and onto the street. "Hey, I still got it!" Sam said loudly and happily as he made a hard left and rode off into the distance. Annette and Colette looked at each other for a moment before deciding to head inside.
Scamp and Angel were still on the topic about their future puppies. They were trying to figure out what they like doing by analyzing their pictures. "Hm, with that glass thing he is holding, and because he's in the lab, it looks like Champ has a similar hobby for science like Sam." Said Angel. Scamp looked over to her. "But I don't recall Sam doing stuff like that, he is more into building machines then… uh… whatever Champ is doing." Said Scamp.
He then gently grabbed the picture and took it out of the photo album to get a closer look at it. Since he is facing slightly towards Angel, she noticed something on the back of the photo. "Hey, there's something on the back of it!" Said Angel. Scamp flipped over the picture and saw that there was writing on the back, and upon noticing it was Angela's handwriting, he began to read it.
'This is Champ doing what he loves. He's made one of those potions that can make you run super-fast!'
Scamp and Angel looked at each other, puzzled. "A potion? I guess that's what the liquid filled bottle is called." Angel said as she looked at the picture again. "And I guess when you drink that, it makes you run super-fast… that's sounds so cool!" Scamp said as he looked at Angel happily.
"I guess whatever he's doing in this picture must be his hobby, and, who knows? He's probably made some other liquids like this, but it gives you something else, like it makes you sleepy for example." Said Angel.
Scamp then had a thought. "You know, when it comes to… science…? Something Sam is big on, this kind of stuff that Champ does, it has to be related to it, and strangely, I don't really recall Sam ever doing something like that. Knowing that Sam tends to brag about his skills in science sometimes, I have a feeling he might become jealous." Said Scamp.
Angel winced as he finished his sentence. "Ooh, that probably won't be a good thing if he does." Scamp shrugged. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it, and, hey, maybe he won't! But, then again, we won't know for sure until it comes eventually." Scamp said before placing the picture back into the photo album.
Just after he did, Colette walked over to the entrance into the room. "Hey, uh, Scamp?" Colette called quietly. Scamp and Angel both looked up when they heard her. "Do you mind helping me out with something real quick?" Asked Colette.
Scamp looked over at Angel and back to Colette. "Um, okay I guess?" Scamp said slowly before getting up. Colette smiled and gestured him to follow her. As they both walked out of the room, Annette walked into the room, glancing back at them as she passed by.
She then turned her attention to Angel, who still had the photo album open in front of her. "Hey Angel." Annette called out to her. Angel looked up at her and smiled. "Oh, hello Annette." Said Angel. "What are you doing?" Annette asked as she walked over to her.
"Oh, Scamp and I were just looking through the photo album." Angel replied casually. "I just showed him this extra page, where our kids put some of their own pictures in there."
Annette's eyes lit up with interest. "Ooh, can I see them?" Asked Annette. "Of course you can." Angel said as she nodded. Annette quickly sat beside her and looked at the pictures. "Aww, their so cute!" Annette said upon seeing the third picture. "I'm going to be an aunt someday!" Annette said happily.
As Scamp followed Colette up the stairs, he asked her. "So, what did you need help with?" Colette didn't stop. "Actually, nothing." Colette replied casually, "Just needed to get you away from Angel." She then stopped and turned around to face him. "It's time to show you what fashion can really do!" Colette said with determination.
Colette pushed a door open to a mostly empty room and walked over to a wardrobe. She opened a drawer and pulled out a wooden case and walked over to Scamp. "This is my fashion kit. This is what we're using to make you look good for your big night." Colette said as she placed it down and opened it.
Inside was a bunch of fashion related items. Two packs of makeup, three small perfume bottles, one small and large brush, three types of lipstick, six different colours of nail polish, and lastly, one hand mirror.
Scamp looked at everything for a moment before looking up at Colette. "Are… are we using ALL of this?" Asked Scamp. Colette looked up at him, unamused. "Well clearly you need to learn a thing or two about fashion, even if it's not at your best interests. Of course we're not using all of this, Scamp. Why would you need lipstick and nail polish for your date? If you were a girl, that would've been a different story."
She then changed her tone to a more positive one. "Now, first things first, sit down right over here." Colette said as she patted the floor with her paw. Scamp walked over and sat down a moment later.
Colette reached into the kit and pulled out the large brush. "The first thing we'll do, is get your fur brushed. Now I want you to hold still for a minute." Said Colette as she approached Scamp. "Just don't brush too hard." Said Scamp. "No promises." Colette said with a smirk, "Now, just hold still."
Colette started at the top of Scamp's back and moved down. She repeated this several times while doing different places on his back. Scamp winced and quietly yelped when the brush detangled his fur. "Ow! Careful!" Scamp said with annoyance. "Scamp, this is literally the first time in like forever your fur is being brushed. Fur tangles overtime, so expect a lot of these." Said Colette, feeling a little annoyed. "Well that would've been nice to know sooner." Scamp said loudly. "Well you never asked me about it, so stop complaining, and deal with it! We're almost done." Said Colette, not changing her tone.
Shortly after, Colette stopped brushing and set it back in the box. "Alright, your back is finished. Now, I want you stay right here, I'll be right back." Colette said before running to the door. "But wait, whe-…" Scamp tried to ask, but Colette had already left the room before he could finish. Scamp sat there, looking at the door in silence for a moment, before turning around and sighed with boredom.
Sam continued to ride down the street, taking turns left and right every so often. Danielle was really enjoying the ride, she had her front paws on the rim of the basket, her tongue was hanging out of her mouth as the breeze blew into her face. Dexter too was enjoying it, but he was hanging onto Danielle, he was more cautious than thrilled.
Eventually, they reached the park entrance and Sam rode down the path and eventually reached the small bridge. Sam got off his bike and carried it across the bridge, he then set it down on the other side and rolled it to the gazebo. He kicked down the bike stand and set it down.
Danielle jumped out of the basket, followed by Dexter. "That was so much fun! We should totally do it again someday!" Danielle said with excitement. "Yeah, I guess that trip wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Dexter said as he smiled shyly.
"Sam said he hasn't ridden that bike in a long time, yet he rode it as if he's always been doing it. If so, I wonder what made him stop riding bikes?" Danielle said thoughtfully. "Well, why don't you ask him? He would definitely know the answer." Said Dexter. "Yeah, good idea!" Danielle said as she smiled.
She looked over at Sam, ready to ask her question, only to find Sam staring at his bike again, once again looking unhappy. Danielle and Dexter looked at him in silence for several seconds before Danielle spoke up. "Uh, Sam?" Danielle said quietly, but Sam didn't respond. "Sam!" Danielle said loudly. Sam shook his head, "H-Huh, what Danielle, what is it?" Sam said quickly as he looked down at her.
Danielle decided to ask him a different question, she was more interested with why Sam looks at his bike. "Why do you keep looking at your bike like that? It's almost as if there's something bothering you."
Sam took a moment to respond. "Uh… what do you mean? Of course I'm fine. I honestly don't know why I keep looking at that bike. I keep getting weird vibes from it, and they feel very familiar. But I can't seem to put my finger on it." Sam said in confusion. He then changed the subject, "Anyway, let's start setting up these decorations, we don't have a lot of time left." Sam said before lifting the box of decorations out of the metal basket and set it down in the middle of the gazebo.
Sam pulled out a very long pink ribbon, he looked up and saw a large wooden beam in the perfect place. However, he noticed that it was barely attached, so he had to be careful. He reached up as far as he could and tied one end of the ribbon to one end of the beam and did the same on the other.
Danielle pulled out a few bow ties and passed it to him. Sam placed one of the bow ties on one end of the ribbon he hung up and repeated it for the other side. After that, he took the third one, which was larger than the first two, and set it in the middle, attached to the ribbon.
Danielle, Dexter, and Sam continued to hang ribbons and bow ties, both high and low. Eventually, the three of them took a few steps back to look at their hard work. "Okay, it looks good!" Danielle said happily. "Yeah, it does lo- WOAH!" Sam took too many steps back and fell backward down the stairs.
"Sam, are you okay?" Dexter said loudly. "I'm okay, don't worry!" Sam said reassuringly before he winced loudly. "Ooh… okay, that did NOT feel good." Sam said before he sat up. He then got up and brushed himself off. "Alright, I'm going to go and get the food, you guys can put up the last of the bow ties. I'll be back guys." He then grabbed his bike and carried it across the bridge. Once he was the other side, he mounted the bike and kicked up the stand. Then he rode off and out of sight.
After Angel had gone through everything on the extra page, Annette felt joyful. "Oh man, I can tell you're going to be a great mother, Angel." Said Annette. "Oh, thank you Annette. In the pictures, it looks like they think so too." Said Angel.
She then closed the book. "Well, I'd better go find Scamp now." Said Angel as she got up and began walking away. Annette was alerted, she knew that Scamp was still getting ready, and had to find a way to keep Angel busy.
"Wait, Angel!" Annette called out. Angel stopped and looked back at her, Annette ran up to her. "There's something I've been meaning to ask you." Said Annette. Angel turned fully around to face her. "What is it?" Asked Angel. Annette hesitated for a moment, thinking of a good question to ask, then she came up with one.
"What was your life like, out on the streets? What was it like to be a street dog?" Annette asked slowly. Angel thought for a moment. "Well, I guess you better sit down because, it's a long story." Said Angel. Annette obliged and sat down. Even though her main intentions were to stall Angel, she was also very interested in hearing what her answer is.
Scamp continued to sit in silence for what felt like hours, filled with boredom. Then, Colette pushed the door open and walked over to Scamp. "Took you long enough." Said Scamp. "Hey, it wasn't easy getting this." Said Colette indignantly.
Colette was holding a cloth in one of her paws. "What is that?" Asked Scamp. "A warm and wet facecloth." Colette replied casually. "The fur on your head will be easier to brush when it's damp. So, in a way, it's kind of like a bath."
Scamp clearly didn't like the idea. "Now wait just a minute here Colette! If you think- umph!" Scamp wasn't able to finish speaking because Colette had ignored his objection and began wiping his face with the cloth, mainly the top of his head, in an attempt to get his fur wet.
After about a minute, she stopped wiping him with it and set it on the ground. She then grabbed the small brush from the kit and began brushing his head. Not long after, she placed the brush back into the kit, and pulled out one of the perfume bottles, and it was a lavender colour. "Let's make you smell like lavender roses!" Colette said optimistically.
"Uh…" Scamp tried to speak but couldn't get his words together. Colette fumbled with it, looking at it from different angles. "Now, let's see… how do I use it again? It's been quite a while." Colette asked herself. She then managed to spray it, right into Scamp's face.
"AUGH! MY EYES!" Scamp shouted in pain as he shut his eyes tightly, clenching them with one of his paws. Colette gasped and dropped the perfume bottle as she realized what happened and quickly apologized. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Scamp! Are you okay?" Colette asked urgently. "Of course I'm not okay! My eyes are BURNING!" Scamp said angrily.
Scamp tried rubbing the pain out, but Colette quickly stopped him. "No don't rub them Scamp! Oh no-… come with me, quick!" Colette dragged him out of the room and to the bathroom, where she helped him up to the sink. Once there, Colette turned on the tap and set the temperature to lukewarm water. She grabbed a small glass, cleaned it out and filled it up. The she proceeded to flush out his eyes. Much to Scamp's extreme discomfort.
After a few minutes, the pain stopped, and Scamp was able to see again. After looking at his eyes in the mirror, he saw that they were slightly red. After a few seconds, he whipped his head towards Colette, his face filled with anger. "Don't you EVER do that again Colette!" Scamp said angrily. Colette backed off a little. "I'm sorry Scamp, it was an accident! Now I remember why I stopped using that bottle, I forgot it can burst out like that." Colette said quickly. "You're lucky it was the low concentration bottle and not the high one. Otherwise, you could've gone blind." Said Colette. "Well duh!" Scamp said loudly.
The two of them returned to the empty room, where Colette picked up the perfume bottle off the floor. "Let's just skip the perfume, I don't think it's a good idea to use it." Said Colette. Right after she finished her sentence, the bottle sprayed again. But this time, it almost hit Colette's eyes.
Colette yelped as she got out of the way just in time. She then forcefully stuffed the bottle back into the kit and backed away from it. "Okay, I'm getting rid of that perfume bottle!" Colette said with annoyance. "Well, gee, I wonder why?" Scamp said sarcastically.
Colette regained her composure and got back onto the right topic. "Now, let's do some extra brushing after what had just happened." Colette said before she cautiously approached the kit and grabbed the brushes. "Great…" Scamp wasn't amused. "Now, this won't take as long since your fur has already been brushed once." Said Colette.
After she gave Scamp a light brush on the back and head. She took a few steps back and took a good look at him. "How do I look?" Scamp asked after a few seconds of silence. Colette placed the brushes back into the kit and pulled out the hand mirror.
She then held it in front of Scamp, who looked at himself for several seconds. "Woah, I look handsome!" Scamp said in awe. "You bet you look handsome!" Colette said as she set the mirror down. She narrowed her eyes and smirked. "You're ready!" Colette said quietly.
Scamp felt very thankful, everything has been going so smoothly, he couldn't believe it. Scamp sighed with relief and looked back up at his sister. "My date is going to be amazing tonight!" Scamp said happily. He then went up to his sister and hugged her. "Thank you so much for doing this for me. I don't know what I would do without you." Scamp said quietly, feeling a little emotional.
This act of affection took Colette by surprise, she wasn't prepared for it. She just sat there, frozen, not knowing how to react to this. Then she had a strange feeling inside her, she started to feel warmth and comfort coming from Scamp of all people.
She looked down Scamp's back and saw that her paws were barely above the floor, she gently placed her paws on Scamp's back, but with the feeling growing inside of her, she moved her paws further up and tighter. Then, Colette began to smile, the feeling inside her went into overdrive, and she hugged him tightly as well.
Now she understood what Danielle meant by warmth and comfort, she now knew why Danielle said she enjoys it, it all made sense to her. It didn't matter how well she and Scamp sometimes get along or don't, deep down, they still love one another, and when it comes to the surface, it shows in the form of love and affection.
When they finally broke their embrace, they were happily smiling at each other. After a moment of silence, Colette was the first to speak. "That… felt great Scamp… not just the compliment, but the hug as well, thank you." Colette admitted. Scamp's smile grew, he was glad his sister was happy. He then changed the subject.
"Now, let's get back on topic, the next thing I need to do is sneak out of the house. After I do that, you and Annette will wait a few minutes before taking Angel there. Hopefully everyone else has finished setting up." Said Scamp.
Scamp then got up and walked to the door. Just as he was about to push it open and walk out, he Colette's voice. "Wait!" Scamp turned around to see Colette running up to him. She tried to speak but was stuttering a little. "C-… Can I have… Can I have another hug?" Asked Colette.
Even though Scamp was taken aback by her question, he smiled. "You can have one later sis, but right now, I have to get going. The sun has almost finished setting." Said Scamp. "Oh… well in that case, let's go!" Said Colette.
When Angel had finally finished her story, Annette was lying in front of her, looking up at her with great interest. "Wow… so that's what it's like?" Asked Annette. Angel nodded, "Yep… that's the tea. Life is hard out there, a place where you always had to be on your paws. You never know what could happen at every corner you turn. Weather it's a dog catcher, or a vicious dog that wants to kill you." Said Angel.
Scamp and Colette had reached the bottom of the stairs, where they can hear Angel in the other room, talking to Annette. Colette turned to Scamp. "Alright Scamp, you'd better sneak out the backdoor." Colette whispered quietly. Scamp nodded and slipped quietly into the kitchen, out of sight.
Colette peeked into the living room and saw Angel and Annette chatting. With Angel having her back towards the exit, Colette waved at Annette. Annette saw her signal and smiled weakly, before she quickly turned her eyes back to Angel.
"Well, thanks for answering my question Angel. It was something I've wanted to ask you for a while." Said Annette. "Hey, anytime." Said Angel. "Well… see ya!" Annette said as she raised her paw slightly. "See you around Annette, good talk." Said Angel as Annette walked past her and out out of the room.
Annette ran over to Colette, who was sitting at the stairs. "Well?" Annette asked quietly. Colette smiled, "Scamp is out of here." Colette responded with a whisper, "Also, you're not going to believe this, after Scamp got a good look of himself in the mirror, he hugged me!" Colette said with surprise. "No way he did that! Did he?" Said Annette, who was baffled. Colette simply nodded in response, with a smile to go with it.
Angel, still in the living room, was think about the day she met Scamp, how she helped show him the error of his ways on being a street dog, and how he helped get her the very thing she desired the most, a family that loves her.
Angel then noticed a chair made of cloth, right next to a window. Angel walked over to the chair, she climbed up onto one of its arms, and looked out the window. Seeing her reflection, Angel reminisced on her past and sighed happily, knowing that she's confirmed to be a permanent member of this family.
But then, she noticed something outside. She saw a small figure running down the street, away from the house. When the figure passed under a streetlight, the spotlight lit it up. Angel immediately recognized the figure, it was Scamp. Angel watched him intently, looking very confused. "What on earth…?" Angel muttered quietly.
Sam had arrived back at the gazebo with a plate of spaghetti in one hand and carrying his bike in the other. "Alright guys, I'm ba-… huh?" Sam froze when he saw that the remaining bow ties were still on the ground and the two puppies were nowhere to be seen. He looked around and saw Danielle and Dexter not far from the gazebo. They were sitting close together on the soft grass, nuzzling each other romantically.
However, it came to an abrupt end when Sam called out to them. "Hey! What are you doing?" Danielle and Dexter both jumped, they quickly turned around to see Sam standing on the gazebo. "You guys didn't eve-… why aren't the rest of the bow ties put up?" Asked Sam.
They sat there silently for a moment before Danielle spoke up. "Uh… oops, I guess we got a little distracted." Danielle said before chucking awkwardly. Sam looked at them for a moment before sighing. "Okay, look, we can just put up the rest of the bow ties now, I have the plate of spaghetti with me right now, we better get a move on before it gets cold." Said Sam.
"Right." Danielle said as she nodded in agreement. "Come on Dex!" Danielle said to Dexter before running over to the gazebo, with Dexter right behind her. After about a minute, the rest of the bow ties have been set up. Sam took the now empty box, flipped it over and set the plate of spaghetti on top of it.
The three of them took a few steps back to see the whole set up. "Woah, now that is good!" Danielle said in awe. Sam, still slowly moving backwards, nodded in agreement. "Yes, it looks really gre- ACK!" Sam jumped forward and whipped around. "Oho ho, not this time!" Sam said as he pointed at the small set of stairs that he almost fell backward on again. After a brief pause, Dexter commented on it. "That was a good save Sam."
They then heard familiar barking coming their way. "It's Scamp!" Said Danielle. Indeed, it was, Scamp came over the bridge a few seconds later. He slowly stopped barking and slowed down to a complete stop upon seeing the set up. He looked at it in awe for several seconds before looking at the three of them. "It's perfect!" Scamp said trying to contain his excitement.
Danielle, Dexter, and Sam all smiled with relief. "Glad you like it Scamp." Said Sam. Scamp, still smiling, got serious again. "Now, the last thing we need to do is get Angel over here, which I'm pretty sure Annette and Colette has got that covered." Scamp said confidently.
He was now beaming at them. "I'm so proud of you guys, you helped get everything prepared in time for my anniversary, when I desperately needed help. How could I ever thank you?" Scamp said joyfully.
"You look great by the way!" Danielle said happily. "Yeah, and you really do look nice." Said Sam. "You know, if you still had that ribbon on you, I think you'd look even better!" Said Dexter. "Yeah, and I bet ol' Angelcakes would love it."
Everyone froze when the voice spoke. "Who said that?" Asked Dexter. Danielle, Scamp and Sam however, were looking at each other with their eyes wide. "Oh no…" Sam said quietly. "No, please no." Danielle said with fear. "It's… It's!" Scamp couldn't finish his sentence, he was terrified.
Then, out from the bushes nearby, a large Doberman slowly walked out with a menacing and evil smile. "Buster!" Scamp, Danielle and Sam all said at the same time. "Who?" Dexter asked with confusion. Danielle turned to him. "Oh, he's… uh… n- nga- watch Lady and The Tramp 2!" Said Danielle.
"I heard about Scampo's little plans for tonight. I'll admit, your devotion to my Angelcakes is touching." Buster complimented casually. His tone then changed, "But you're forgetting that she is my girl, and you know I simply can't let her choose you as your husband." Buster said menacingly as he approached them.
"Well she isn't your girl anymore; she is now already taken by someone who actually has a heart." Scamp said sassily. Buster glared hard into Scamp's eyes. "Well, answer this, how can she be taken, if her other half is…" Buster stopped and placed a thoughtful paw under his muzzle, "how should I put this…?" After a moment, ha came out with his answer. "DEAD." Buster said as he slowly advanced on him.
"Hey, you leave my dogs alone! If you want them, you'll have to take me on as well, and, I don't think you can easily beat a human." Sam said as he stepped in front of Scamp, shielding him from Buster.
"Well I think you'd be surprised kid." Said Buster. Then without warning, he scooped a bunch of dry dirt into his paw and hurled it at Sam's face. When the dirt impacted, it created a cloud of dust, that got into Sam's eyes.
Sam clenched his face as he screamed in pain. He stumbled backward into the box with the spaghetti on top, he tripped and fell backward, his head got caught on the ribbon hanging from the unstable beam. The ribbon stopped him from falling for only a second. The beam loosened under his weight and came out. Sam fell onto the wooden floor and the beam landed on top of him.
"SAM!" Danielle said with horror. Dexter quickly ran to him, "Sam, are you okay!?" Dexter asked urgently. Sam he was breathing heavily and grunting from the pain, but he didn't answer his question.
Scamp was backing away from Buster as he advanced upon him. Danielle angrily pushed past Scamp and got up close to Buster and leered at him. "You are a monster Buster! I'll teach you to mess with my best frie-…" Danielle suddenly stopped, her rage vanishing. "What the…?" Danielle said slowly in confusion as she looked off in the distance. "What on earth that?" Danielle said as she pointed at something behind Buster.
Buster turned his head around to see what Danielle is pointing at. Danielle saw this opportunity to grab Buster's leg and yank it, which would cause him to fall over. But before Danielle could grab him, Buster quickly moved the leg she was going to grab, causing Danielle to miss him. Before Danielle could process, Buster turned the table when he grabbed both her paws.
Danielle looked at her paws, then up at Buster in shock and horror, Buster looking down at her with an evil grin. "Oops…" Said Danielle. Buster picked her up slightly and hurled her at Dexter, knocking both of them to the floor.
"Danielle!" Scamp gasped at the sight. He looked at Buster, who slowly turned his head to look at him, with an evil smirk. Buster slowly began advancing on him once again, to which Scamp started backing away with fear. Danielle then called out to him. "Scamp, RUN!"
Scamp bolted past Buster and jumped over the small set of stairs and went for the bridge. Buster turned around and ran after him. When Scamp was across the bridge, he followed the cement path towards the fountain.
As he was passing the fountain, Scamp was suddenly stopped, he tried to move his paws, but he couldn't. He looked down and saw that he had run into the patch of wet cement from earlier. He tried as hard as he could to get out of it, but he couldn't break free. That was when he realized, to his horror, he was stuck.
Scamp could hear Buster chuckling from behind him. Buster slowly circled him a few times before stopping in front of him, Scamp watching with wide eyes. "Ha, ha! … Beautiful…" Buster said as he dreamfully looked up. He then looked back down at Scamp, grinning menacingly. "Looks like you're in a sticky situation Scampster. Ho ho, this is just too good! You're exactly where I want you. Your luck has run out kid."
Buster then started to raise his paw but stopped. "Oh, I almost forgot. You have any last words? Cuz nobody's commin' to save ya this time!" Said Buster. Scamp was trembling with fear, after a moment, he finally spoke, but his voice was trembling. "Uh, yes, just one…" Scamp said before taking a deep breath and shouting, "HEEEELP!"
Buster just looked at him for several seconds. "Okay, are ya done kid? My claws are gettin' itchy!" Buster said impatiently. Scamp just looked at him with fear and didn't say anything. "Alright, I'm gonna take your silence as a yes." Said Buster, he then raised his paw high above him, sticking out his claws, his evil grin showing a sense of triumph and a thirst for blood. "This is where it ends for you kid, goodbye…"
Scamp shut his eyes tight as his life flashed before his eyes. Having his family picture taken on Christmas, meeting Angel for the first time, spending his first night with her, returning home with her, Danielle comforting him in 1911, him running up to Danielle and hugging her after getting home, him kissing Angel for the very first time, getting to see his future kids one last time, looking at his kids' pictures with Angel, and finally, Scamp arriving at the gazebo to see Danielle, Dexter, and Sam smiling. Then everything went black.
Scamp then heard a thud, assuming it was his own limp body after being struck by Buster. But he felt no pain. As a matter of fact, he could still feel himself standing upright, as if Buster had not struck him yet.
Scamp slowly opened one of his eyes and saw that he was indeed still standing. He opened both his other eye as he looked up slightly and saw to his absolute shock, Buster was lying on the ground unconscious with a rock the size of a tennis ball next to his head. "Huh?" Was all Scamp could say.
He looked straight ahead and to his utter delight, stood Angel, right in front of him. He gasped, "Angel!" Scamp was overjoyed. "Let's get you out of there Scamp!" Angel said as she pulled on Scamp's legs, and together, Scamp was finally out of the cement. Angel quickly ushered him to the fountain nearby and cleaned him off.
Once the cement was washed off, Angel pulled him out and back on the cement path. That was when Angel hugged him. "Oh, thank goodness you're okay! I thought I lost you…" Angel said with relief. "Oh, I'm so happy to see you Angel!" Scamp said as he embraced her as well.
After they separated, Scamp then asked, "How did you know I was here?" Asked Scamp. "I saw you running down the street, away from home, so I followed you and… I saw you trapped with Buster ready to kill you! I quickly grabbed a rock and hit him on the head with it, saving your life. What are you even doing out here anyway?" Asked Angel.
Scamp hesitated for a moment and sighed, he decided he was going to tell Angel the truth. "Well… I'm out here because… today is the day where it has been a whole month since we first met. I've had Danielle, Dexter and Sam help set up the everything so we can have a very special date I planned for tonight." Scamp said as he slowly looked down at the ground.
When Scamp looked back up at Angel, she had tears in her eyes. "So you did remember after all…" Angel said as tears began falling. "Of course I did Angel, I would never forget our anniversary." Scamp said gently. Angel slowly went up to Scamp and the two of them gently hugged one another, Angel was quietly sobbing. "I love you so much Scamp."
After the two separated, Scamp sighed. "I'm so sorry Angel, I tried so hard to get everything prepared for a day that was very important me. I had a good place to set up, I had wonderful decorations put up, there was a warm plate of spaghetti, and I had this idea of a gift, where we would place our paws into the patch of wet cement over there, taking inspiration from Mom and Dad. It was going to be the perfect night for both of us! But then Buster showed up and ruined everything. All of the best things of our anniversary, ruined…" Scamp looked down at the ground as he finished.
Angel looked at him with guilt for a moment before deciding to speak. "Scamp…" Scamp looked up at her after hearing his name, "While what you said may be true, there's still one thing unaccounted for, something you forgot about." Said Angel. "What is it…?" Scamp asked slowly.
Angel answered his question. "What you forgot, is the true best part about our anniversary. The best part about our anniversary is being able to spend that day with you. Knowing that we've been by each other's side since the first time we met, and it will likely always will be that way. Now don't get me wrong, I really appreciate how far you've gone to set all of this up. But weather it got trashed or not, doesn't matter, because either way, it still doesn't change the fact that I still love you!" Angel said before she hugged him yet again.
After Scamp had processed everything Angel had said, he smiled and hugged her as well. The two of them leaned their head back to look at each other. "I… Angel… thank you, I needed that." Said Scamp. "Anytime, Tenderfoot." Said Angel.
He then turned his eyes away from Angel for a moment and looked back at her. "Angel, can I ask you something?" Said Scamp. "You can ask me anything Scamp, what is it?" Said Angel.
"Angel… Ever since I met you, I've always had that feeling inside me, that I would be seeing you more, then it happened, you came home with me and got adopted, now I can always spend time with you, and after everything that has happened since then, I just wanted to ask you." Scamp then hesitated for a moment before asking Angel the most important question of his life. "Angel… will you marry me…? Will you be my wife…?" Scamp asked slowly.
Tears formed into Angel's eyes once again. "What kind of a question is that…?" Asked Angel, "Of course I will! I will marry you!" Angel said with utter joy. Before Scamp could react, Angel kissed him, and held it.
That was when the reality hit him, happiness bloomed inside him. 'I… I don't believe it, SHE SAID YES!' Scamp thought as his eyes began watering.
After the two finally broke the kiss, they could hear clapping. They turned towards the bridge and saw Danielle and Dexter sitting close by, clapping their front paws happily. "Congratulations!" Danielle cheered.
"Thanks Danielle." Scamp said as he and Angel separated from each other. Danielle ran over to them, followed by Dexter. "You're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore now! You guys are married!" Danielle said happily, "Or was it engaged?" Danielle said as she placed a paw under her muzzle. "I think we'll find out someday which one is which." Said Dexter.
"This is the best night of my life…" Scamp said as he sighed deamfully. "You and me both Scamp." Angel said before nuzzling him. "Come on guys, let's go home." Said Danielle. Together, the four puppies began walking home.
It was night time when they arrived home, Annette and Colette ran up to them when they were inside. Lady and Tramp were already present in the kitchen. "Well, how did it go?" Asked Annette. Danielle winced, "Ooh, it was going to be a date, but then Buster showed up and trashed it." Said Danielle.
"Oh my gosh!" Annette said while Colette gasped. "Yeah, I tried to run away, but then I got stuck in a patch of wet cement. Just when Buster was about to kill me, Angel showed up and knocked him out with a rock, saving my life!" Said Scamp.
"Are you alright Scamp!? Did he hurt you?" Lady asked urgently. "Don't worry Mom, I'm okay. In fact, I'm more than okay, I feel amazing!" Scamp said happily, "Why you may ask? Well, I asked Angel if she would marry me, and she said yes!" Scamp said joyfully.
Annette and Colette squealed happily. "Oh, my gosh, Scamp now has a wife!" Tramp chucked, "That's my boy!" Tramp said as he looked at Lady, who was sitting next to her. "Oh, that is wonderful news Scamp, congratulations!" Said Lady. "Thanks Mom." Scamp said with a smile.
"Well, I hate to cut this celebration short, but it's time for bed now." Said Tramp. To his surprise, no one tried to argue. "You know guys, I think after all of the hard work we put in today, we probably should go to bed." Said Scamp as the rest of the puppies nodded in agreement.
While everyone walked out of the kitchen, Scamp bringing up the rear, he felt tapping on his back. He turned around to find Colette smirking. "Hey, aren't you forgetting something?" Asked Colette. Scamp thought for a moment before remembering what it was. "Oh right, well since I'm back, yes you can have another one. Come here sis!" Scamp said as he sat down and held out his paws. Colette joyfully threw her paws around Scamp's back and hugged him.
After the two of them separated shortly after, they looked at each other. "I better hope I don't do this constantly, Scamp." Said Colette. "Well, when you're in distress and in need of comfort, just ask." Said Scamp. He then changed the subject, "Now, come on, let's head to bed." Said Scamp.
Scamp and Colette walked out of the kitchen and to their beds. Scamp climbed into his bed with Angel and snuggled close to her. The two of them looked at each other before kissing one another, after they broke it several seconds later, Angel whispered into his ear. "I love you Scamp…" Scamp smiled and did the same, "I love you too Angel…" Scamp said quietly.
The two of them then rested their heads and were ready to drift off to sleep. But then, Scamp suddenly opened his eyes and gasped loudly. All the other puppies opened their eyes and looked at him. "Is something wrong Scamp?" Asked Angel. Scamp didn't answer, he very quickly sat straight up. "Sam!" Scamp said urgently, his eyes wide with realization. They forgot about Sam!
Sam was still at the gazebo in the park, the dirt was out of his eyes, but he was still trapped under the heavy wooden beam. "Hey, I'm stuck! Can you get me out?" Sam called out loudly. But it was silent. "H-… Hello? … Scamp? … Dexter? … D- Danielle? … Are you there? … Anyone?" Sam called out, getting gradually quieter.
And that marks the end of the 2-part episode, with a combined length of a whopping 16000 words! I really enjoyed making this one. Also, I'm thinking, I'm guess each episode at this point will have around 8000 to 16000 words in length, so this means episode 1 would be an extremely short episode, but I'm thinking that most episodes would fall within this range. But anyway, episode 4 will come out when it's finished, I have quite a few episode ideas, but I'm trying to decide which one will be episode 4... eh, I'll figure it out eventually... anyway, I gotta get going now.
