well, here's the fifteenth chapter of my own version of '102 Dalmatians', even if it's listed as chapter eighteen. this technically fifteenth chapter is also a much short(er) chapter than others I've posted for this story of mine which I've based slightly on the occurrences of the real '102 Dalmatians' from back in 2000. this fifteenth chapter is also five-hundred-ninety words long worth of storyline. the rest of this chapter is nothing but the comments from yours truly guised as author's notes, which there are two of, this explanatory headnote, obviously, and the (mandatory) disclaimer which makes up the very paragraph following this headnote. and speaking of which, would you look at that? it's already time for the obligatory disclaimer.

disclamation: I don't own '102 Dalmatians' in any way, shape, or form. I mean, I own it on DVD, but I was only seven when it first appeared in theaters, at all. so, it wouldn't even be natural for me to have owned '102 Dalmatians', at all. I also don't own either of the '101 Dalmatians' movies. I was but two or three years old when the live action remake came out, and when the original animated classic of '101 Dalmatians' came to theaters, I didn't even exist, yet. all these films are owned by the Walt Disney Movie Productions Company and by Dodie Smith.


Back at the prison in which Miss De Vil was held for her previous puppy-napping crimes, the prison nurse, Nurse Mary Cromwell, had been watching the Telly for quite a while from where she was. It was a show from off of BBC2.

Television announcer: And now BBC2 is proud to present the third part in our series, 'What Makes Big Ben Tick?'

That was when the bells from Big Ben started to chime. It caused every one of the animals in the prison to go wild and start attacking their forced companions. The pit bull started barking like crazy and the cat started yowling like the voice of doom. The duck in the prison even started to quack like a mad doctor.


A/N: I hope everyone got the joke there, with the word,' quack', and the term, 'mad doctor'. it's a type of joke I invented myself about both doctors and ducks.


There was even a horse neighing at the top of its horse lungs as it attacked whichever animal(s) it had.

That was when Dr. Soren Strabane made the scene and rushed to each of the animals' cells. He started by opening up the cells to make sure the animals did not act too crazy. He started with the cell that held the duck and the fox. It turned out to have been a mistake to have opened up the cell via the use of its door, because the fox still chased the duck out of the cell even upon the cell opening up.

With the pit bull and bunny's cell, he was more careful as he opened up the viewing window. The bunny panicked its way out from the pit bull through the window. The bunny even panicked its way into the doctor's arms. He had to get control of the situation and fast. He hollered his demand at Nurse Mary Cromwell.

Doctor Soren Strabane: Turn down the television, quick!

Nurse Mary did as Doctor Strabane told her and turned down the volume on her program on the television. She had to do it fast, though, and Doctor Strabane had one more cell to open up for the sake of saving his patients. He was too late, however, to stop the cat from eating the canary it had been pre-programmed to see as a friend over seeing it as its dinner. Of course, the cat ate the canary. Cats were a canary's natural enemies. The cat even burped upon having eaten the poor canary.

That was when the doctor started to think about the reversal of all of his treatments on the animals that had been in the cells and under his charge.

Doctor Soren Strabane (continued): What a unique sound pattern. Very loud.

Of course, Nurse Mary explained to the doctor that she was simply watching a program on the television.

Nurse Mary Cromwell: That would be Ben on the Telly.

It was then that Doctor Strabane suddenly realized that there must have been a weak point in his treatment for savagery.

Doctor Soren Strabane: Yes. It must have jolted their brain waves back into_

The very next thing Doctor Strabane did was the last thing anyone would have ever expected of a good doctor. He grabbed onto his own nurse's uniform and threatened her into staying as quiet about the weak point in his treatment as he had plans to be.

Doctor Soren Strabane (continued): This mustn't get out!

Nurse Mary only shook her head as to say that she understood Doctor Strabane's threat.

Doctor Soren Strabane (continued): Do you hear me?

Nurse Mary nodded her head that time to tell the doctor that she understood his threat once again.

Doctor Soren Strabane (continued): It never happened.

That last time, Nurse Mary shook her head to demonstrate that she perfectly understood the doctor's threat.


A/N: Doctor Strabane wished that such a weak point in his treatment could've stayed quiet forever. and could you believe him for keeping silent about the weakness in his treatment for savagery instead of warning the public about it, like a good doctor would've? I stand by my quack joke from earlier, especially about Doctor Strabane.
