Hello readers. Here's the latest chapter of my Equestria Girls and Tiny Toons crossover, where you'll learn how Fluttershy adopted Jewel and other things about her. jdtperry, I am working on the next chapter of Sonic X and Pokémon. I just need to find time to finish it. But anyway, enjoy the next chapter.
Chapter 16: The Story of Jewel
Two days later, Furrball was in a real pickle. He was being chased by a whole pack of dogs. He screamed as he ran. "Why can't they chase some other cat?!" asked Furrball. As he was running, he saw some place that he could hide in. He smiled, knowing he'll be safe. The blue cat then entered the building. But the dogs, not wanting to give up, entered the building.
(Insert "No Dogs Allowed" from Snoopy Come Home)
Unfortunately for the dogs, they didn't see the sign that said, "No dogs allowed". So as soon as they entered, they were thrown out. All the dogs crashed to the ground. Furrball peeked out of the window while doing a wet razz berry at them.

Later Furrball managed to get to the safety of Fluttershy's house without any further incidents. "Whew," said Furrball.
"Hello, Furrball," said a familiar voice. The one who spoke was Jewel the Dalmatian. Furrball yelped.
"It's okay. Don't be frightened. I'm not gonna hurt you," said Jewel.
"I'm sorry. I was earlier trying to flee from these dogs. I finally managed to lose them after I went to a place where dogs aren't allowed," said Furrball.
"I can assure you, I'm not like the other dogs. Fluttershy has some other cats and I treat them with respect," said Jewel. She went up to Furrball and licked his cheek. Furrball chuckled.
"You know, I don't know much about your family. Could you tell me about them?" asked Furrball.
"Sure. My parents, everybody outside my family calls my dad, Pongo and my mother, Perdita or Perdy for short. Out of the ninety-nine puppies, including myself, my mother only gave birth to fifteen. I'm one of the original fifteen. My birth siblings include Dipstick, Fidget, Two-Tone, Whizzer, Lucky, Patch, Rolly, Cadpig, Penny, Freckles, Pepper and more. Dipstick is so named because his tail looks like it was dipped in ink. Fidget can't stay still for more than a minute. Two-Tone got her name because the lower half of her is actually black with white spots. Whizzer is playful & loud and often gets on my nerves. But he has a weak bladder and leaves a lot of puppy puddles. He once peed on a fashion magazine that had Cruella's face on the cover," said Jewel. Furrball chuckled.
"What's so funny?" asked Jewel.
"I remember when Elmyra once adopted a dog that had a similar urinary problem like your brother's, but it was more exaggerated," said Furrball.
"How so?" asked Jewel, raising an eyebrow.
"Since things tend to get sillier in Looney Tunes Land, his urinary problem was so bad he once flooded the entire house when he had to tinkle after drinking so much water," said Furrball.
"Eew. But anyway, despite his peeing problems, he's actually pretty brave and actually acted as a decoy to lure Cruella's goons, Jasper and Horace into a wild goose chase while the rest of us escaped. Lucky tends to sleep a lot," said Jewel.
"How did he get his name?" asked Furrball.
"Mom and Dad told me that he almost died at birth. But Roger managed to revive him. It was Nanny who gave him the name. Patch is named because he has a patch of black around one of his eyes. Rolly tends to eat a lot and is always hungry. Cadpig is the youngest of the original fifteen. Penny was always a daddy's little girl. Freckles can be identified by the spots on his face that look like freckles," said Jewel.
"So, when did Fluttershy adopt you?" asked Furrball.
"One and a half years ago. Fluttershy and her family were taking a vacation at England when they came across the Dearly Manor, which was originally DeVil Manor. In the past, people have nicknamed it Hell Hall for various reasons. When Cruella and her goons were arrested, the Dearlys purchased the Manor since they needed a bigger house for all the Dalmatians," said Jewel.
One and Half Years Ago . . .
Fluttershy's family were driving a rental car in the countryside of Suffolk, England. Just then, Fluttershy saw there some people gathered outside of Dearly Manor. There was also a sign that read, "Adopt a Dalmatian". "Mom, dad, stop the car," said Fluttershy.
"Why?" asked Mrs. Shy.
"There's something I want to check out," said Fluttershy. And they did. Fluttershy and her parents got out of the car and saw the sale happening. The amount of Dalmatians the Dearly owned had multiplied over time. Fluttershy and her family could see lots of people were gathered.
"What's going on?" asked Mr. Shy.
"This is the Dearly Manor, also known as the Dalmatian Plantation," said Customer #1.
"Dalmatian Plantation?" asked Fluttershy.
"Yes. Two Years ago, the Dearlys' two first Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita had fifteen cute Dalmatian puppies. But the evil head of the House of DeVil fashion designer company, Cruella DeVil hired two goons named Jasper and Horace to steal the puppies so she can kill them and eighty-four other puppies to make herself a fur coat," said Customer #2. Fluttershy gasped hearing this.
"But luckily, the puppies escaped with the help of their parents and some other animals. Cruella and her goons were jailed and they moved from London to the country so the dogs would have lots of space," said Customer #3.
"But since then, the Dalmatians multiplied and they're beginning to overcrowd the place. So they decided to give the ones nearing adulthood new homes," said Customer #4. Once Fluttershy got closer, she saw a Chinese man in black clothing finishing up paying the Roger and Anita Dearly the money for the Dalmatian he purchased. And the very one he bought was Rolly.
"My master's son will take good care of Rolly," said the Chinese Man.
"Take good care of Rolly," said Roger. Pongo and Perdita were saying their goodbyes to Rolly.
"Be a good dog for your new pet, Rolly," said Pongo.
"Try to not eat too much, son," said Perdita.
"Yes, mother," said Rolly. Pongo and Perdita then licked their son. Rolly then walked away with the servant of his new owner. It was now Fluttershy's turn to buy a Dalmatian now.
"Hello," said Fluttershy. "Hello. You here to adopt a Dalmatian?" asked Anita.
"Yes. My name is Fluttershy. I'm an animal lover," said Fluttershy.
"Come this way and we'll show our selection," said Roger. Fluttershy looked at the various Dalmatians gathered. There were some that were still puppies. Others were already grown up. And some were teens in dog years. As Fluttershy was looking them over, she spotted Jewel.
"Who's that one?" asked Fluttershy.
"That one is Jewel. She got her name because the spots on her neck in a way form a necklace," said Nanny. Fluttershy approached Jewel cautiously. Jewel did the same thing. Once the two got close to each other, Fluttershy kneeled down and extended out her hand. Jewel then got close to Fluttershy. The pink haired girl began to pet the pretty Dalmatian. And then, Jewel began to lick her face. Fluttershy giggled as Jewel showed her affection to her.
"I think Jewel likes you," said Anita. And so it was, Jewel was adopted by Fluttershy, becoming her newest pet at the time. Jewel was surprised at how Fluttershy was able to talk to animals. But she grew to accept that Fluttershy had that gift.
Present Time . . .
"And Fluttershy and I have been firm friends ever since," said Jewel.
"Zat's so sweet," said a voice. It was Fifi La Fume, who was painting pink nail polish on her nails.
"Oh Fifi. I guess you heard everything," said Jewel.
"Oui. You know ze way zat Fluttershy liberated Gary, Furrball and moi from abusive people, eet got moi curious. Have zere been other animals zat Fluttershy saved from bad folks," said Fifi.
"Yes, but not all of them became Fluttershy's pets. Some were adopted by other people or sent to animal shelters. Some, the owners improved on their relationship with their pets thanks to Fluttershy's kindness. There is one case where Fluttershy and I are unsure if the relationship between the owner and the pet improved," said Jewel.
"Do tell," said Furrball.
"Oui, oui. We'd like to hear," said Fifi.
"Okay. It happened six months after Fluttershy adopted me. She entered me in a pet show in New York City. That was the day that I gained a rival along with a bitter enemy in the pet show business. A glamorous, but spoiled poodle named Georgette and a narcissistic cat named Nermal," said Jewel.
One Year Ago . . .
It was a beautiful day in the city of New York. The crowds hustling. The traffic roaring. The hot dogs were sizzling. And it was the day of a pet show taking place at Central Park. Fluttershy and Jewel were at one of the desk signing their names to enter. "There. All done," said Fluttershy.
"You and your pet are good to go," said the Woman at the Desk.
"Thanks," said Fluttershy. Jewel barked happily. "Looks like you're excited Jewel. I know I am . . . I guess," said Fluttershy. Jewel looked around, seeing the other pet owners signing up at different desks. Many people were entering different pets. Not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, hamsters, turtles, frogs and many more. Just then, Fluttershy and Jewel saw a particular person enter her pet. It was a a beautiful seven year old girl with blue eyes and short red hair that she mostly wears in a half updo. She had single piercings on her lower earlobes. She wore a sleeved sky-blue turtleneck, a sky-blue skirt with a periwinkle belt, periwinkle tights combined with white socks, and gray Velcro sneakers with turquoise trim. The pet she was entering was a pedigree poodle. She had mostly white fur and grayish baby-blue fur atop her head and the tip of her tail. She also wore blue eyeshadow, a pink ribbon atop her head and a golden collar. She also had blue-gray fur on her chest and forepaws. Fluttershy recognized the two. "Oh my. I know those two," said Fluttershy.
"You do? Who are they?" asked Jewel.
"That's Jenny, the daughter of the rich Foxworth family. And that's her pet poodle, Georgette, a five time national pet show champion," said Fluttershy.
"Then it looks like we got some heavy competition. I think we should introduce ourselves to them," said Jewel.
"Sure, I guess," said Fluttershy. The two then began to approached Jenny and Georgette. "Hello," said Fluttershy.
"Oh. Hello. I guess you're one of the competitors of the pet show?" asked Jenny.
"Yes. You must be Jenny Foxworth. I've seen you and your dog in the news whenever you entered a pet show," said Fluttershy.
"I see. I've mostly entered Georgette in strictly dog shows. This is the first time I've entered her in a show that's comprised of other pets besides dogs," said Jenny.
"My name is Fluttershy. I'm an animal lover from Canterlot. But I recently moved to Acme Acres. This is the pet I'm entering, Jewel," said Fluttershy. Jewel barked hello.
"Jewel, as in one of the famous 101 Dalmatians?" asked Jewel.
"Yes. But that number has increased ever since the famous rescue from years ago. I adopted her six months ago during my family's vacation in England," said Fluttershy.
(Insert "Perfect Isn't Easy, Instrumental" from Oliver and Company)
While Fluttershy and Jenny were conversing, Jewel and Georgette were having a conversation of their own. "So, one of the famous 101, huh?" asked Georgette.
"Yes. I didn't think a kidnapping and rescue would put me and my family on the map," said Jewel.
"You may be famous back in the U.K., but here in the Big Apple, I'm the top dog. I'm famous in the entire city. I've been featured on the cover of Time Magazine, the front headline of the New York Times. But what I really want is to be in the spotlight on an issue of the Daily Bugle," bragged Georgette.
"The tabloid newspaper run by that controversial, flat topped journalist, J. Jonah Jameson?" asked Jewel, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. He should stop wasting his time trying to slander that web slinging vigilante, Spider-Man when he could be focusing on more simpler stories. Stories featuring yours truly. I've won five dog shows, making me a five time national champion. And this one ought to make it six. Although, this is the first time I've entered a show with other animals. I'm gonna give everybody a good show," said Georgette cockily.
(End Music)
"Oh please. Neither of you are gonna win," said a voice that sounded a lot more cocky than Georgette. It belonged to a gray kitten.
"And what makes you think we don't have a chance?" asked Jewel.
"Because I always win the shows and contests that I enter," said the kitten.
"Just who do think you are, getting way ahead of yourself?!" asked Georgette, raising her voice. Fluttershy and Jenny then noticed what was going on.
"I'm Nermal, the cutest cat in the whole wide world. The world totally revolves around me and my cuteness. Any other animals are born losers the day they are born, especially dogs. Cause cats rule and dogs drool. So you two might as well forfeit cause you can't win," said Nermal. And he walked away, laughing rudely. Georgette growled angrily.
"This is why I hate cats. Especially stuck up ones like him," said Georgette.
"What a rude kitten," said Fluttershy.
"He gives cats a bad name. I didn't think there were animals that could talk," said Jenny. Just then, Jewel became tenses and sniffed where Nermal was standing.
"What's up, girl?" asked Fluttershy.
"I smell something off about the area where that Nermal was standing," said Jewel. Georgette started sniffing the area too.
"I do too," said Georgette.
"What's up with our dogs?" asked Jewel.
"Apparently, they don't like the smell of where Nermal was standing just a minute ago," said Fluttershy.
"You can understand them?" asked Jenny.
"Yes. I can. I can understand what animals are trying to say," said Fluttershy.
"You almost sound similar to this vet I've heard that can talk to animals. Although, people doubt this ability," said Jenny.
"What about you?" asked Fluttershy.
"I've never met him in person. Just read about him or seen him on the news," said Jenny.
It wasn't long before the pet show was underway. Among some of the spectators was a man named Jon Arbuckle along with his pet cat, Garfield and his pet dog, Odie. Garfield and Odie didn't like Nermal a bit because he was always trying to put them down, saying he's cuter than them. What's worse, Jon sometimes show favoritism toward Nermal when he wasn't even his pet to begin with. It got to the point that at one time, Nermal got the two in trouble for something they didn't do. Garfield and Odie hated Nermal even more for that. Garfield wanted nothing more than to get even with Nermal and make him suffer for it. Garfield and Odie didn't want to come see the pet show, but Jon forced them to come. And they were angry about that. Stupid Jon. Why are you always showing favoritism toward Nermal when he isn't your cat? You've gotten worse ever since Nermal framed me for breaking his leg. And you had the gall to believe him. I hate you both for that, thought Garfield angrily. Jenny and Fluttershy were in the locker room, getting their pets ready for when it is their turns to present their dogs. Jewel and Georgette started to get uneasy once again.
"There's that smell again," said Georgette.
"I know. The same smell that Nermal was giving off," said Jewel. The two dogs decided to find the source of it and began to wander away.
"Georgette, what's wrong?" asked Jenny.
"Where are you going, Jewel?" asked Fluttershy. The two dogs sniffed the trail until they came across Nermal's bag.
"Umm, isn't it a little rude for you two to sniff somebody else's bag?" asked Fluttershy.
"That smell is making us uneasy and we want to know why," said Jewel.
"If it'll make you better, okay. I'll take a look," said Fluttershy. Fluttershy put on gloves, opened the bag and they discovered what was giving off the smell. Fluttershy got out a suspicious looking bottle.
"What should we do?" asked Jenny.
"I think we should present this to security," said Fluttershy.
The girls approached the closest security guard and presented the bottle to him. "This smell coming from this bottle we found in Nermal's bag was making our dogs uneasy and we want to know why," said Jenny. The security guard looked at the bottle.
"I'll present it to our guest veterinarian," said the Security Guard. And he went to the find the said person.
Very soon, pet #12 had finished her turn in partaking in some activities as part of the pet show. The next pet that was going to be presented was Nermal. Nermal smirked a cocky smile. "Okay. Time for me to steal the show . . . permanently," said Nermal.
"Contestant #13: Nermal from Muncie . . . is disqualified!" said the announcer. Nermal's smile then turned upside down as his eyes bugged out.
"WHAT?! But I haven't done anything yet!" objected Nermal. Nermal stepped forward to complain. "Hold on! Hold on! What's going on?! What's the big idea?! How can I disqualified already?! I haven't even done my turn yet!" said Nermal.
"Nermal's right! You can't disqualify him now!" said Jon.
"On the contrary, we can. Our guest vet discovered something," said the announcer. The said vet stepped forward. He was a man with brown hair wearing a red headband and wore a veterinarian's outfit.
"Who are you?" asked Jon.
"I'm Cole Evans, a veterinarian from Turtle Cove. These two competitors have found something that was making their dogs uneasy. And this was found in Nermal's bag," said the Vet, pointing to Jenny, Fluttershy & their pets. He then took out the bottle that Nermal was in possession of. Nermal gasped seeing that Cole had it. "Nermal was possession of this Cuti-fying Serum. And this had his paw prints all over it," said Cole. Everybody gasped hearing about this.
"There's no such thing as a cuti-fying serum!" objected Jon.
"Oh yes there is!" said Judge #1.
"That serum is illegal!" said Judge #2.
"And for a good reason. Drinking it just once makes the pet addicted to it like a drug. And the more the pet drinks it, the less potent it is, increasing their dependency on it," said Cole. It was at that something odd began to happen to Nermal, much to his horror. Part of his skin began to flake off. The gray cat gasped seeing this.
"No! No, no, no, no, no!" cried Nermal in utter horror. More of his skin flaked off, bit by bit, piece by piece. Once the flaking was done, everybody saw what Nermal truly looked like. He wasn't the world's cutest cat at all. In fact, he was the complete opposite. He was the world's ugliest cat. He had crooked teeth, patches of fur missing, a very skinny tail and other details so gross and disgusting, I can't write it in this story. Everybody gasped or screamed at the sight of him. One person threw up due to how disgusting he looked. Another person actually had a heart attack (Don't worry. He didn't die. But he would live with the trauma of seeing his ugliness.) However, Jon had a reaction totally different from the others.
"What have you done with the real Nermal?!" asked Jon. Garfield and Odie looked at Jon as if he grown another head.
"What do you mean what have I done with the real Nermal? I am the real Nermal," said Nermal.
"Liar! You're a phony, an imposter! The real Nermal is cuteness incarnate!" said Jon. Garfield finally had enough.
"Oh just shut up! He's a phony, not because he's not the real Nermal. He's a phony because he is not a cute and honest cat!" said Garfield.
"Explain the not honest part," said Fluttershy.
"Whenever Nermal visits my home, he's always getting on Odie and my nerves, bragging about how he's cuter than us. What's worse, Jon here, sometimes shows favoritism toward him when he isn't even his pet," said Garfield.
"Mr. Arbuckle, how could you?" asked Fluttershy.
"What's worse. Just a few months ago, Nermal had the gall to frame me to make it look like I broke one of his legs. And he seemingly got away with it . . . until now," said Garfield.
"Be quiet!" said Jon.
"No! No I will not be quiet! You had the gall to have believe Nermal's lies and had me and Odie thrown out of the house! You're the stupidest pet owner of our town! We made it clear that we didn't want to come to this pet show to watch Nermal! But you wouldn't listen! You don't listen to what we want! And what we want is for you to stop showing favoritism toward a pet that isn't yours!" said Garfield.
"Shame on you!" said Person #1.
"Jerk Arbumble!" said Person #2.
"Pet abuser!" said Person #3.
"It seems quite clear, Nermal is 100% disqualified!" said the Announcer. Nermal then glared at Fluttershy, Jenny and their dogs.
"You cheaters!" said Nermal.
"You're the one who decided to not play by the rules, you gargoyle," said Georgette.
"I'll show you!" yelled Nermal as he charged at Georgette. He tried to bite her, but the poodle headbutted him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Nermal wheezed as he clutched his gut. Jewel then bit Nermal in the butt, causing him to shriek. She then stepped on his tail to prevent him from fleeing. Garfield stepped forward, putting on some boxing gloves that had horseshoes in them.
"This is for all the abuse you caused Jon to inflict on me!" said Garfield. He began punching Nermal in the face, knocking out all his teeth, one by one. He delivered a final blow that broke his nose, knocking him down. Security guards then took Nermal away.
"Yeah! Dogs rule and cats drool!" said Georgette. She then let out a triumphant laugh. Jon glared at Garfield.
"Traitor!" yelled Jon as he tried to attack Garfield. But some other security guards grabbed at Jon and began to drag him away.
"Let me go! Somebody has to teach that fatso a lesson!" cried Jon. Garfield grinned and waved bye bye at Jon. Fluttershy gave Jon the stare as he was being taken away.
"You should be ashamed for letting Nermal poison your mind! I suggest you use this time to reflect on your actions and the misery you caused for your pets! And once you do, you better find a way to make it up to them!" scolded Fluttershy. And the guards took Jon away from the pet show.
(Insert "Perfect Isn't Easy, Instrumental" from Oliver and Company)
In the end, it was Jenny and Georgette that won the pet show, making Georgette a six time national champion. She turned to Jewel. "Well, looks like you won this time," said Jewel.
"You weren't too bad, for a Dalmatian. We made a great team exposing that Nermal for the fraud he is," said Georgette.
"Thanks for putting Nermal in his place. I'd hate to think how bad our abuse wouldn't gotten if he wasn't," said Odie.
"Not bad, for a dog," said Garfield.
"One thing you should know, poodles are regarded as one of the smartest dog breeds on the planet," said Georgette.
(End Music)
Fluttershy was talking with Cole. "I was told by Jenny that you can understand what animals are saying," said Fluttershy.
"Yes. I've had that gift almost my entire life," said Cole.
"I can understand animals too," said Fluttershy.
"That's amazing. There are not many people who can talk to animals in the world. It's good to know I'm not the only one," said Cole.
"Same with me," said Fluttershy. Among one of the photographers who took pictures everything that was happening at the dog show was Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Man).
"This will definitely make the front page," said Peter.
News of Georgette's victory and Nermal's disgrace made the spotlight in the TV news reports and the front pages of the newspapers. And that included the Daily Bugle, like Georgette wanted. J. Jonah Jameson held the published newspaper in his office. It read "Pet Show Scandal Exposed". "I heard about people cheating in competitions. But a cat doing the cheating, that's weird," said Jonah.
Present Time . . .
"Ever since then, new regulations were added to future pet shows. Each pet was to be examined with medical tests to ensure they didn't have any illegal serums or drugs in their systems," said Jewel.
"Did Jon ever learned to treat his pets better?" asked Furrball.
"I don't know, really. I hope he has," said Jewel.
A little later, Fifi was wandering down the hallway of upstairs. She was passing by the bathroom, but the door was partially open. She accidentally saw Fluttershy coming out of the shower. But what got Fifi's attention was that she something about Fluttershy's back. For some reason, her back was covered in scars. It was most likely scratches from a vicious animal. Fifi ran before she could be spotted. She went back to her room. "What's goeeng on? Why does Fluttershy have zose scars on her back? Zere's something she's not telling moi," said Fifi.
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. I couldn't resist adding the "No Dogs Allowed Song" from Snoopy Come Home for the beginning. This chapter not just showed how Fluttershy adopted Jewel, but also a flashback featuring other guest stars from other franchises, Jenny Foxworth and Georgette from Oliver and Company, the Garfield Show versions of Garfield, Odie, Jon & Nermal, Cole Evans from Power Rangers Wild Force and Peter Parker & J. Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man. That flashback takes place before Jenny adopted the kitten who would later be named Oliver. And this gave me another chance to attack the controversial Garfield Show episode of "King Nermal", where Nermal finally gets his karma when he is exposed as an ugly kitten. Cole becoming a vet after the defeat of Master Org, that was an idea originally going to be used for the finale of Wild Force just like his Gaoranger counterpart. So, in this canon, I decided to reuse that idea. Regarding the fate of Jon Arbuckle's relationship with his other pets, all will be revealed in a later chapter. The versions of Peter and Jonah that are featured are the Sam Raimi trilogy versions. Haven't decided where in the movie timeline it's in. Next chapter will be an adaptation of the MLP episode, "Feeling Pinkie Keen" with Shirley filling in Twilight Sparkle's role.
