Pippi Enters a Pet Show

Village: Candy store

Pippi and many kids of the village are heading into the candy store to buy candy.

When the kids headed in, the store looked empty.

"Enough candies to feed about, let's see… 20 kids, please." Pippi said as she put a gold coin on the counter.

"Sorry, but someone already bought out my whole store." the lady behind the counter said.

"Who did?" Annika asked.

"I did." Cassandra said as she entered the store. "If anyone wants candy, then come to my house, you can have all the candy you want."

The kids all got excited and started following Cassandra to her house.

"I wonder why Cassandra bought all that candy." Annika said.

"I bet she just wanted to outdo Pippi on giving out candy." Tommy said.

"Well, since we're not getting any candy, I wonder what there is for me to get today." Pippi said.

Pippi and her friends left the candy store, when they saw two men putting up posters all around the walls of houses and buildings.

"Now what could be going on?" Pippi said as she went over to check out the posters.

The kids took a look at the poster, which read, "Got amazing pets? Show what your amazing friends can do! The Amazing Animals Pet Show is coming to your town next Sunday!"

"Wow, a pet show. I don't know what it is, but it sounds interesting." Pippi said.

"A pet show is like a contest between pets." Tommy said. The pets and their owners work together to show how well they get along with each other and to show off."

"Wow, that sounds fun." Pippi said. "I bet Mr. Nilsson or Buster might wanna participate. I better let them know."

Pippi tried to take the poster from the wall, but Annika stopped her.

"Why not take a flyer instead, those people over there are giving them out." Annika said.

Meanwhile, Cassandra was taking the kids to her home to give out candy to them, when she noticed a pet show poster.

"Oh my. A pet show." Cassandra said as she went over to the poster. "I definitely must enter this contest. My little Queenie will be a star!"

Cassandra hurried home, with the kids still following her.

Village: Park

Meanwhile, at the park, Bengt and his lackeys are trying to sneak up on a boy, but then they see the two men from earlier put up another poster for the pet show.

Bengt suddenly forgot about the boy and turned his mind towards the poster instead.

"Amazing Animals Pet Show, huh? Well, I got a pet that's amazing. I better get ready, it's time for everyone to see what Cruncher is made of." Bengt said and he made a run for his home.

Village: Villa Villekulla

At Villa Villekulla, Pippi was showing the pet show flyer to Mr. Nilsson and Buster.

"Okay, listen you guys, there will be a pet show next Sunday, and I can only pick one of you to enter in it." Pippi said. "So, in conclusion, if you wanna show off in the pet show, then let me know that you're interested."

Buster looked aside and went off to munch on grass, while Mr. Nilsson jumped and danced around in excitement.

"Oh, do you want to enter, Mr. Nilsson?" Pippi asked. "Are you okay with Mr. Nilsson entering the pet show, Buster?"

Buster stopped eating to look at Pippi and resumed munching.

"I guess Buster doesn't mind." Pippi said. "Alright, Mr. Nilsson. We need to get you ready for the pet show."

Town: Stadium (Next Sunday)

At the town stadium, many pets and their owners gathered for the pet show.

Among the contestants are Cassandra and her poodle, Queenie, Bengt and his bulldog, Cruncher, and Miss Weiserschmidt and her rabbit, Snowbell.

There were many other contestants who had cats, birds, lizards, and fishes, but Pippi has yet to show up.

"Where's Pippi?" Annika asked from the audience.

"Don't worry. She'll come. She wouldn't miss this for the world." Tommy said, then as if on cue, Pippi and Mr. Nilsson arrived on Buster.

Mr. Nilsson was well-groomed and Pippi made sure to give him a bath before the show.

"Um, excuse me. But you are aware that only one pet may enter, right?" the announcer asked.

"I know, but I brought Buster anyway so he could watch, Mr. Nilsson is the one who's participating." Pippi said.

Pippi and Mr. Nilsson got off Buster and Buster went near the audience and stayed there, now in total, there were 32 contestants.

Then, the Obedience portion began; Snowbell was told to hop and she did, Queenie was told to roll over and she did, Cruncher was told to chew a roll of newspaper and he did, and Mr. Nilsson was told to cartwheels and he did.

16 contestants were eliminated, with Miss Weiserschmidt, Cassandra, Bengt, and Pippi amongst the remaining contestants.

Then, the Talent portion began; Snowbell hopped fastly across a track and without knocking down a cone, Queenie was offered a shake and she shook back, Cruncher went after a frisbee and caught it before it landed, and Mr. Nilsson climbed a pole and climbed down real easily.

Eight contestants were eliminated, with Miss Weiserschmidt, Cassandra, Bengt, and Pippi amongst the remaining contestants.

Then, the Costume portion began; Snowbell was dressed in puffy dress with a blue bow, Queenie was dressed like an elegant queen, Cruncher was dressed like a rockstar, and Mr. Nilsson was dressed in a tuxedo and a top and hat.

Four more contestants were eliminated, leaving Miss Weiserschmidt, Cassandra, Bengt, and Pippi as the only remaining contestants.

"So it's down to four. The judges are gonna pick the overall winner now." Annika said.

"I hope Pippi wins." Tommy said.

As the judges were discussing with each other, Queenie growled at Bengt, and he lightly kicked her, making her mad and she bit Bengt's arm.

Bengt screamed and tried to get Queenie off him, and when he did, Queenie landed on Cruncher, who started chasing Queenie.

Queenie ran towards Snowbell, who became scared and started running as well.

Snowbell, Queenie, and Cruncher bumped into some cages, letting the pets run wild.

There was mayhem as the agitated pets ran around wildly, with the pet owners desperately trying to calm them down.

"This is getting out of hand." Pippi said. "Go, Mr. Nilsson climb up the pole again, but take this rope with you."

Mr. Nilsson climbed up the pole again and tied the rope to the top of the pole.

Pippi climbed the rope with some birdcages, after she got to a certain height, she swung around, used the birdcages to catch some birds flying around and landed safely on the ground.

Mr. Nilsson climbed down from the pole, open some cages and led the animals into them.

Eventually, Pippi and Mr. Nilsson managed to put all the animals back into their cages and calmed everything down.

"Okay, now with all that calamity aside, the judges are ready to announce the winner." the announcer said.

"The winner is… Pippi Longstocking and Mr. Nilsson." one of the judges said.

"We did it! Great job, Mr. Nilsson." Pippi said as she hugged Mr. Nilsson.

"What? Her? But how?" Cassandra asked.

"Her and that filthy monkey?" Miss Weiserschmidt asked.

"Yes, since Pippi and Mr. Nilsson displayed excellent cooperation, fixing the mess that your pets caused." another one of the judges said.

"It's always Pippi Longstocking, always stealing my wins." Bengt said as he stormed off, followed by Cassandra and Miss Weiserschmidt.

"Boy, what sore losers." Tommy said.

"You and Mr. Nilsson were amazing, Pippi." Annika said.

"Yes, I thought it was amazing as well, plus it was also fun." Pippi said.

After Pippi and Mr. Nilsson got their prize, Pippi, Mr. Nilsson, Tommy, and Annika all got on Buster and started heading home.
