Cadpig's Dalmatian Isolation

When day breaks on Dearly farm Cadpig is already up, meditating and such. This morning was no different. "Hello little one, good morning!" Nanny said. She always liked her the best; She kept Nanny company in the early morning. Cadpig would growl and Nanny would pretend to answer back even though she had no idea what the little dog was saying. Cadpig especially liked this game. She would try to form her questions so that Nanny would answer the way she wanted.

When it was time to hop on the bicycle and pedal out the kibble from the giant red tower, Cadpig was waiting at the bottom of the chute. "Rrrrrrrrrrr" The kibble was brown and crunchy as usual. After breakfast Cadpig was talking to her friends. "Hey you guys wouldn't it be great if we threw Nanny a party?" "Why? When is her birthday?" the insensitive Lucky said. "We could have cake and punch and candy and a big bowl of chips! Oh papa I could really get into this!" Rolly said hungrily. "Jeez Rolly when are any of your ideas not deep fat fried?" Spot replied sarcastically. She was a little scared of Rolly because he was always making Colonel Sanders jokes directed towards the skittish bird. "Ok you guys are really into this, great! I can get the other puppies involved too!" "Wait Cadpig, what are mom and dad going to say about a party? We can't exactly ask our pets to have a big party." Lucky said.

"Roger, Nanny does so much for us I think we should throw a party for her." Anita said to her husband who was presently typing away on his big computer programming a new video game, "Pupper". "Yeah I see what you mean. We could have cake, punch, candy and a big bowl of chips!" "Oh roger, you're so loopy! You're as bad as some of those puppies." "She does do a lot for us and we pay her so little, even for a farm hand, maid, and cook." Roger was now turned around in his black ergonomic chair. The two planed the party secretly. "WOOSHOOMP!" The door swung open and the tall lanky body of Cruella DeVil stood in the doorway, dust flying into the small computer room. "A party? For me no doubt, I am always doing so much for me, um, err, you two!" "No silly, we're planing a party for Nanny. Do you want to come?" Anita said so pert and pretty standing over Roger who was writing a banner that said "We Like You Nanny!" "Fine then," Cruella turned around quickly "I'll come but I need to tell you I can get pretty wild at parties." After the door slammed she pulled her small tape recorder. "Memo to my self, have my cousin P.H. DeVil think of some sort of ingenious way of stealing the farm while Ninny and her fan club are having a party."

"Hey did you guys hear the news?" Two-tone said out of breath while Lucky patted her softly on the back. "Roger and Anita are throwing Nanny a party!" Mooch, Wizzer, and Dipstick walked over to the short-winded dog. Mooch slapped Lucky's paw off of Two-tone's back, looking at Cadpig with a grin. "Yeah they're gonna give that old bag a couple of gifts and fire her." A look of horror came over Cadpig's face, "Oh no! They can't do that to Nanny she's so sweet and so kind and so, so, so, centered!" "Yeah, right but they don't care she's getting too old." Mooch said over his shoulder as he walked away. "Don't believe Mooch, Cadpig, you know he'd try to trick you at any cost, remember what you did to him?" Spot said trying to console the shaken pup.

Cadpig slept in the next morning and didn't wake up until 9:00. So much later than the Cadpig that started yoga at 5:30 yesterday. Perdita knew something was wrong with her daughter. "Cadpig, Hun is anything wrong?" "They're going to FIRE Nanny after the party next Saturday, and I will miss her." "You are a very strong willed person and will figure out a way to cope with this." Cadpig looked up slowly wiping the tears out of her eyes. "You're right mom I need to find a way to stop this!" "Wait, Cadpig that's not.... Oh well, run Cadpig!" said Perdita getting up off of the floor.

"Horace! Jasper! Get in here!" Bellowed Cruella from her ultra modern high back chair. "Yes ma'am?" Jasper said taking off the hat too small for his head. "Get my Scorchy over to the Dearly's Farm in this." She handed them a box, tape, and some wrapping paper. "Ooh, I love presents! Who's this for? Scorch?" "Yes, Horace you will wrap my ferret in a box and suprise him when he opens his own present trying to escape." Said Cruella sarcastically. "Get this stupid Mongoloid out of here." The nasty woman said with a wave of her bony hand. "Scorch is going to find out some more plans for Ninny's party."

Cadpig ran to Hiccup hole where the pups and the floaty clad chicken were hanging out. "Duke, Sa-Sa could you please excuse me for a minute?" The tiny dog said, out of breath. "Say please." Sa-Sa said. "Let's get out of here honey, they don't want to talk to us anyway!" Duke said with a sneer. "No, wait, uh. You guys... I said please!" she said now directing her words to her brothers and sister in animal-hood "We need a plan to try to get our pets not to fire Nanny!" The animals said they couldn't think of any thing at the moment and that the small dog should care less about some old woman and more about having a fun time. At that time they dared her to jump in with her collar on, not wanting to disappoint her friends she jumped in.

Horace and Jasper came to the door wearing tiny brown shorts and obviously fake polyester mustaches. Jasper holding a clipboard and Horace a shabbily wrapped package with a pencil somehow stuck to a massive ball of tape at the bottom. The pudgy wannabe deliveryman knocked on the door hard. Roger answered the door. "Can I help you two?" "Yes sir, you can. We have a package for an Anita or Randy Dearly. Could you please sign here?" The tall, thin man said holding out his clipboard and a two-toned pen with the words "DeVil Co." in big gold letters. "Hmmm." Roger thought while tapping the pen on the clipboard. "It's from Cruella." Should I accept it knowing I will most likely have to defuse it later? Oh what the heck, sure." He put his John Hancock on the big yellow form that also said DeVil Co. on it. "Thank you." The two men in ridiculously high shorts said to the somewhat scared and confused Roger. He closed the door shaking the box vigorously.

Rolly poked his big head around the fence to see Nanny doing laundry. He turned his head before he saw Nanny pull out pantyhose with the knees bit out of them. "What is she doing?" Cadpig said, a little worried. "Ah, she's just doing the laundry." Rolly said in his usual nasal manner. "Oh man." Spot said disappointed taking off her fedora and putting her magnifying glass back in her trench coat pocket. "BRAWWK" Spot screamed throwing herself into Lucky's arms. "Woah!" the three pups said at once looking up towards the noise they heard. Rolly and Lucky gave each other a high five. "Excellent!" they yelled. "Roger must have made a level too hard." Lucky said with an awed look in his eyes. Puppies flew out of the barn towards the house to see what happened. Smoke streamed out of the upstairs of the small farmhouse. "A new record, Spot?" Cadpig asked, trying to feel better. After all Nanny was doing her job and had no grounds for being fired. "And just what is that supposed to mean?" Spot squawked to the relieved dog. "Longest time with out being freaked out." Cadpig snapped back. "2:15!" Lucky said looking at the clock on the side of the barn.

The old clock chimed 2:00 down the hall. Scorch bit a hole in the side of the package on the table. Roger was busy digging through the junk drawer for the heat goggles that he mysteriously found laying next to the pug that lived in the apple barrel. Scorch slinked out of the box and went up the stairs. "What in the world are you doing?" Anita asked confused while Roger was finally pulling the goggles out of the drawer. "Looking for these," said Roger holding up the heavy headwear. "Cruella sent us a package and I wanted to see what was in it before I opened it." "Oh hunny your so paranoid," Anita said rubbing the top of Roger's head while putting her attaché case down on the table. "Cruella is such a nice person why would she ever send something to harm us?" "What are you even doing home? Cruella doesn't let you off until you sneak out." Roger said finally realizing his wife was supposed to be at work. He was putting on the goggles while Anita giggled. "Oh, she had an important family meeting and needed my office for space."

Scorch reached the top of the stairs and entered the computer room. He poked his little gray head over the top of Roger's computer while the theme song to "Pupper" played over and over again. He looked for a place to stick the little red cherry bomb Cruella handed him before Horace and Jasper put him in the box. The song was about to replay and the little orange light on the disk drive lit up, so did Scorch's eyes. He hit the rectangular button to eject the disk. He shoved the small explosive into the hole that contained the disk moments earlier. He then grabbed his zippo and lit the fuse. Scorch flew down the chair and out of the window landing in a big pile of hay. The sparks reached the bomb and blew apart the expensive computer into a flaming pile of plastic and metal, igniting the small room in flames.

Downstairs Roger and Anita were opening the box containing nothing. And were asking themselves why when they heard the blast and started to smell smoke. "Did you hear that?" they asked each other looking towards the stairs. They both tore upstairs to see the computer and Roger's sheet music on fire. Anita hugged Roger, almost in tears, after seeing decades of music go up in flames. Nanny ran up the stairs with a fire extinguisher spraying the white foam on the curtains and the music. "Thank you Nanny, but that will be enough but I think it's all burnt." Anita said with a shake in her voice after the jump. "Who could have done this?" Nanny said covered in extinguisher foam. "I don't know but I have a good idea." Roger said letting go of Anita. He walked to a wire sticking out of the wall. He took a burnt picture off the wall, turned a knob, opened a hidden safe with a automatic disk saver, and pulled out a cassette tape with the auto saved version of "Pupper" on it. He had learned his lesson after the little incident with Ivy 4.0.

Scorch got off of the pile of hay that lay below the computer room's window. He ran into the house again and opened the attaché case that was on the kitchen table. As he rummaged through he found two sticks of gum, a picture of Roger, Nanny, and the 101 Dalmatians, 37 cents, lipstick, and a detailed plan of the party, exactly what he was looking for. He stuffed the piece of paper through his collar and ran out the door. To his horror he saw 56 puppies and a chicken standing there. He looked right and left and decided to go for it. He ran threw the barn where Princess and Duchess were still waiting for the puppies to tell them what had happened. "This isn't gonna be pretty." the contented cow said while she kicked the small rodent out of the barn window. 112 eyes watched as Scorch flew out of the window and towards the swamp; they all skidded a few feet slamming into each other as they turned around.

"Bzzzzt: your two o' clock is here Mrs. DeVil." the little box on Cruella's desk said with a jump. "Send him in." She said taking her finger off of the red 'talk' button. "Hello cousin darling, how are you?" the lanky lady said, her arms out stretched ready to hug the comically short bald man. "Good, now that I know you have a project that is going to pay me." "Oh pay, yes of course. Memo to myself," Cruella said once again talking into the little tape recorder. "Get PH's cash when he's stealing the farm for me." "Now let's talk evil schemes." Cruella said turning back to PH. They talked for another few minutes when the phone ring. "Hello?" Cruella said into the mouthpiece. "We had an accident and we were wondering if we could hold Nanny's party at Villa DeVil Saturday?" Anita asked very politely, as she usually does. "Oh, yesofcourse that will be easier to st... for, for me to come if it is at my house. If I may be so bold as to ask why?" Cruella said with an evil smirk on her face. "Oh we had a little accident and some painters and such will be there." Anita said worrying about the cost in the back of her mind. "Excellent, I mean I'm so sorry to hear about that of course have your little party at my house, No! Home." "Good bye dear!" Cruella slammed the phone on the receiver. She turned slowly to PH DeVil and smiled.

"Sploosh!" Scorch finally landed in the dark, green swamp. Scorch got up slowly and looked around worried. He knew he was going to have to pay to get out of there. "Swamp Rat's my name, put 'er there!" The suspiciously friendly rodent said all of a sudden making the ferret jump. The rat stuck his hand out. Scorch looked right and then left then finally shook Swamp Rat's hand reluctantly. "I'ma guessin you need a way out of here, I can tell cause you don't look like you belong here." Swamp Rat said suprisingly fast. Scorch smiled big and shook his head quickly. "Well I can fix that right quick if you give me that shiny collar." Scorch thought for a minute, grabbed the plans and almost mournfully grabbed the red Italian leather collar and slipped it over his little gray head. He then handed the collar to the rat smiling greedily, rubbing his hand together.

After dinner the whole barn was a buzz with talk of what had happened earlier with Scorch. It wasn't much but because unfortunately only 5 of the dogs ever get into adventures, the pups were still excited. "Hey did you see the look on Cruella's pet when Duchess kicked him?" Inky said to Rolly. "Yeah Scorch really looked hurt when he was speeding towards the swamp. Huh, I wondered what happened to him." The two pups walked together toward the TV where Cadpig, Lucky, and Spot were already focused on the Peace Channel, it was Pickle's night for controller privileges. She thought it might cheer Cadpig up. It didn't make her feel any better though. Lucky was concentrating, but not on the hippie on screen. "I got it!" Lucky yelled throwing his arms in the air, smacking Spot in the head. Spot did a summersault and landed on her side. "We get Nanny to save Roger or Anita's life and they can't fire her." "You know you get that idea every time we have time to plan something." Cadpig said helping Spot off of the ground. "Yeah can't you think of something original." Spot said dusting dirt and puppy hair off of her wing. All of a sudden two beams from the ceiling came crashing down from the ceiling and hit Spot knocking her back on the ground. "Luck-less couldn't think his way out of a paper bag!" "Lieutenant Pug!" the puppies said in awe. "That's right and I have an idea that will not only save Nanny but might work you scrawny little pups some, except you." He said pointing to Rolly sitting on a stump eating a corn fritter he had hidden in the stash everyone knew about. "I'm not fat! Am I?"

The clock struck 1:30 just as the window violently swung open and a drenched Scorch flew in a giant helium filled balloon, shaped like a peanut, with a patch in the front. Cruella and PH were hunched over a copy of the blueprint of Dearly Farm. Cruella looked up towards the noise she heard. "Scorchy!" she cried hugging him then suddenly letting him go because of the swampy smell he had. He remained floating for a second. He turned in place, grabbed the rope he was tied to and bit into it. Snapping the rope instantly making him fall to the floor. As he walked towards the tub he slammed the plans for Nanny's party on the table. "Oh Scorchy-poo we don't need those, something better came up." Scotch hunched over in anger and slammed the huge door to the bathroom.

Cadpig knew tomorrow was Friday and Nanny's party was Saturday. She was still being good; heck she even put the fire out. Cadpig decided to take an evening constitutional, it always made her parent's feel better so why not her. She walked along the path from the barn. She looked at the owl that was just waking up and ready for breakfast. She saw the spotted bus the Dearly's took the pups on vacations in and how it's hood was open and a wrench was stuck in some where. When she reached the house Nanny was lying in a hammock looking at the stars. Cadpig feeling the same way jumped onto Nanny's stomach. "Oh, hoho, how are you?" Nanny said with a jump. "You know, sometimes I don't think I'm cut out for this job. I think I'm gonna quit soon, retire. You pups are getting so big and I don't think I can take care of all of you." Cadpig was crushed; she loved Nanny like a mother and the words streaming from the mouth of this woman just confused and angered Cadpig. No, she wasn't going to let her just quit not like this she knew she had to do something, oh man, but what? Cadpig hopped off of Nanny's belly and walked away. "Ok you do need to go to bed, you've had a big day." Cadpig left, sullen. "If one more jarring thing happens to me I guess I will know I need to leave." None was around to hear the proclamation. Cadpig walked lonely for the rest of the night just wandering around. She ended up at hiccup hole. She sat on the tire swing and looked up at the stars. So frustrated she didn't know what to do crying wasn't her thing "NOOOOO!" she shouted it was the only thing that made sense, and jumped into the freezing water.

Cadpig woke up on schedule in the morning and sulked around. "If she's going to retire I've got to spend as much time as I can with her. And who am I to say she can't retire, maybe I should let her she'll probably be happier anyway." She thought to herself. She walked past Lieutenant Pug and Tripod hunched over a copy of the blueprint of Villa DeVil. "Here is where they'll have the cake and here's where the presents are gonna be." Lt. Pug said pointing to the back yard of the mansion. "Look here, sir, there a small hole." Tripod said pointing to a small cubbyhole where a person could hide or be hid. "I see, I see, HAHA!" the small pug said with a look of evil in his eyes. "Take this down trip-wire, 1, situate presents like a wall against the hole making it invisible. B, lead Nanny in the hole using Peeps as bait. 4- have me tie her up using a string of Christmas lights from the decorated bushes." "Good plan, sir" Tripod said mumbling as he was taking the pen out of his mouth. "I know, to celebrate drop and give me thirty.... seven!"

"Where's Cadpig?" Rolly said coming up for breath after the 5 minutes of stuffing his face. "Oh she's in a mood again." Lucky said. "I told her Mooch is just making that firing stuff up to get back at Cadpig. You know he's just now getting back to normal." "I think something's really wrong with her, psychiatrist wrong, ya know." Spot yelled with a bandage around her head. "Nah, she'll be better once the party starts tomorrow. Today we get to go over to Cruella's and help decorate." Rolly said before he dove back into the trough. "I know and we won't even get chased off this time." Lucky said with a smile on his face. "We don't exactly now that, now do we?" Spot said.

Roger just woke up to see Anita closing the bathroom door. "So, when are we going over to Cruella's today?" Anita said with a mouthful of toothpaste. "I don't know I was thinking around 3 or so." Roger said putting his shirt on. "Ok good that'll give me time to get present's from the dogs and wrap them." Anita said coming out of the bathroom dressed and hair done. "Now Anita don't go overboard again and get 101 gifts again." "Oh don't worry. I'll only get 51" She said under her breath. "Do you know where my socks are?" Roger said grabbing his brown shoes. "Over there I think. Should we bring the dogs over to help decorate?" Anita said throwing the socks at Roger. "Thanks. Cruella might not like that, lets just bring Pongo and Perdy."

"I've got it!" PH yelled, spilling coffee on the sleeping Cruella who was leaning back on her chair. "Whaaaa...." she fell on the floor with a thud. "What is it?" she replied getting up and putting the chair back in it's place. "Ok here's what we do. We..." The gothic phone on the small autumn rang. "Hold that thought cousin dear, I need to get this. Hello?" the old woman said trying to wipe some coffee off her dress. "Why yes of course, could you be a gem and hold on for a teensy-weensy minute? PH!" she yelled. PH was trying to listen in on some sort of ultra-hearing device. It was a strange thing; it was a steel helmet with an antenna on top and two earplugs. "PH!" she yelled louder this time knowing it would hurt his ears. "AHH! Cruella, stop! Who was that anyway?" PH asked quickly taking off the device. Cruella put on her white coat and grabbed her purse. "Oh, yes PH you will have to tell me about your little plan later, I have to leave. BYE!" Cruella said slamming the giant metal front door.

Rolly walked to the mud hole where Dumpling and the Honorable Mayor Ed Pig lay. "Hello Rolly, come to say hi?" Dumpling said holding her hooves together batting her eyelids. "Yeah so uh whatcha doing?" "Nothing, 'scuse me one moment. Daaadddy could you please leave I am talking to Rolly." Dumpling threatened. Ed flashed Dumpling a lazy/disgusted eye then peeked over Dumpling's shoulder to see Rolly sniff a dirt clod. Then waddled away. "Now that that's over with what did you want to say Rolly?" "Oh, me um yeah uh I was uh kinda wondering if you would um uh go-with-me-to-Nanny's-party-like-a-date-thing?" Rolly spewed out in a nervous blob. "Oh Rolly of course I will what kind of animal do you think I am?" Rolly breathed a sigh of relief. But for some strange reason just then he thought about Cadpig. "Wow, I hope she's feeling better."

PH DeVil was in a secret room in Villa DeVil hidden underneath 3 stories of dirt. "This will be my greatest invention EVER!" he yelled. He looked around and noticed no one was there. He slowly got off the table and put down the two wrenches he was holding when he threw his hands into the air. "Ok, back to work." he said this time softly feeling very embarrassed. The machine he was working on was a huge metallic box with video screens around the middle and fog machines on the top and bottom. "A couple more of these and one of these, DONE! Now to be tested." He rubbed his hands together. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Scorch eating a cracker in a corner.

Pug and Tripod sat in a nest of wires and rope trying to untangle it for their master plan. "Tri-county get your scrawny hide over here!" "Yes sir?" the dog obeyed. "Go get the things on this and bring them back to me. (They're very vital to our mission)" Pug whispered. "But sir do we need all of this junk? Look, number 21 is a remote controller that Rolly took a bite of." Tripod pointed out. "I know but who's going to control the steel rubber ducky? This isn't a musical number, now get out of here and get that stuff or so help me tri..." Pug once again slammed to the ground almost falling off of the stack of 'playmutt' magazines he had confiscated. He thought if guard dogs showed up he could flash them one of the beauties and they'd be in love. At that time Tripod casually grabbed one and left to look for the stuff, making sure no one saw him take it.

Pongo and Perdita lay together in the guest bedroom in the farmhouse. "So Pongo, what would you say to another 15 puppies?" "WHAT?!" Pongo said with his eyes wide open. He got up and staggered backwards a few feet. "Pongo! Down boy! It's ok, really it was a joke." Perdy was still lying on the floor laughing almost to tears. "Jeez woman don't ever do that to me EVER again!" "Ok, I won't but you gotta admit that was pretty funny."

"Bddddddoo" Cruella's cell phone rang. "Hello?" "Hi um, this is Anita. Our car has broken down again so could you do us a favor?" "Oh, say no more, anything!" "Could you bring Roger and I to your house... um, er, home so we could start decorating?" "Of course I'm in my car now I'll just swing by and pick you up." She was already going 75; she punched it and ended up going 90 or so. The light posts looked like a picket fence. A huge bug splated on the windshield making a small crack. Green light. "YES!" Cruella's eyes lit up. Yellow light, more gas. Shift to 6th. 100 miles per hour. Cruella's giant Cadillac hit a rock and flew into the air. Red light. The back tire hit the top of an El Camino, going through an intercession, leaving a skid mark on the top of the car. She saw the dirt road and turned on at the last minute. A wave of dust enveloped the barn, In 3 seconds the kibble tower. Then finally she finally pulled up on the grass and did a cool "James Bond Skid" throwing mud onto the windows of the house. She took the keys out of the ignition. "Ding, ding, ding, ding..." the car sounded as she got out of the huge maroon car. "Knock, Knock!" she said walking inside of the door.

Five minutes later Duchess said to Princess while listening to "Gone 'til Whenever." It was playing on a small yellow radio one of the pups found in Cruella's trash Dumpster. "Wooo-Weee girl, you know you'll never get Wy-hoof to sign that no matter how many concerts you sneak into." "I can't help it I always cry when I hear this song and... What the heck are those crazy dogs doing now?" The two cows turned to see the pups and Spot grabbing little plastic spoons and hiding them in the trunk of a tree. Once all of the plastic spoons were out of the box, they had just enough room to fit into the brown box once marked "Farmer Jose's Hot Dogs" but now marked "dishes." So one by one all of the puppies and the chicken climbed in. After much argument, Lucky used Spot's beak to cut a hole out of the bottom of the box. Cadpig's paw pulled the lid closed so the box looked as it had before they had thrown all of the white plastic utensils out.

"Screech!" The huge car that contained Anita, Roger, and Cruella stopped with a halt. Roger and Anita came out staggering and they looked dizzy and confused. "Oh don't be such babies." Cruella said finally getting out of the car, looking disgusted. "Well were here, Cruella pushed a button on her key ring and the trunk popped open. Roger and Anita took boxes out of the trunk and put them on the ground. "Oh man, this one is heavy could you give me a hand Roger?" Anita said straining to keep the box up. They put the box on the stack of boxes, together. They walked away. "Watch it!" "Ouch!" "Hey!" "Stop it with the elbows!" "Hey they're leaving, we can go now." Lucky said looking out of a hole in the box ala Scorch. "Ahhhh" they all said at once taking a big breath. The first one they had in about an hour. "Let's go explore!" Lucky said getting out.

"4:54, test subject one: Scorch, a common house ferret" PH DeVil said into a tape recorder much like Cruella's, taking notes. He flipped the switch. Fog started to envelop the room. PH put on special goggles so as not to be affected by the machine. Noise started coming out of the TV's speakers. Bright pink and green flashes of light came off of the TV, making the fog flash that way too. Scorch's eyes went blank and he became impressionable to whatever PH said. "Turn on your head." PH said. Scorch obeyed zombie-like. "YES!" PH yelled. "It works, now to lug it up stairs and set it up for the party tomorrow."

"Holy buckets of gravy dogs, it's 16:44 hours already we better get going." Pug said climbing out of another box. This one marked spoons. "Yes sir, were on our way." The two dogs ran around the corner to where they were going to set up their ropes and try to hide Nanny from the other guests. A small window was connected to the wall near the dog's rubber ducky and the cookie jar. The lieutenant's watch read 16:54 (4:54 PM). "Lieutenant come take a look at this!" the three armed dog pointed to the window where the bright pink and green lights could be seen. "Oh my good neighbor Francis, the cats have laser technology! Protect me Tri-Tip." The small brown dog hid behind Tripod who was standing tall with his chest sticking out, happy to be of some help to his hero. Fog started to leak out of the windows. "AHHH! Gas hide me, hide..." Lt. Pug's head hit the floor with a thud. Asleep he started to suck his thumb. "He should really see someone about that." Cadpig said. It was kind of like a joke to her, she felt compelled to say it happy or not. Tripod turned around to see the three dogs and a chicken standing there. "Just what is all of this junk?" Spot said picking up the remote controller to a TV with a bite taken out of it. "Hey I thought I buried that." Rolly said embarrassed. "If you really want to know, here's our plan." Tripod said sitting them down.

"If we're going to have a party at my house, we've got to give it style. Oh no no no that's all wrong. Orange and Blue? Where do you think we are Colorado? Let's get serious people!" Cruella said clapping her bony hands together. Cruella turned to go down the hall casually pushing a ladder. Losing his balance Roger fell off of the ladder. "Cruella is really getting into this." Anita said helping Roger off of the tiled floor, which was oddly enough black with white spots. "I'll show her serious, old...," Roger said trailing off like he does when he gets mad. "I know it's hard but remember it's all for Nanny. Just think, one more hour of decorating, three more tomorrow and we can leave all of this craziness behind us." Anita said. "Oh Anita," Roger said hugging her. "You mean it?" "Oh Roger." Anita said pecking him on the cheek, making him blush. "Let's get back to work."

"HORACE, JASPER!" Cruella yelled sitting in her office. The one with the big Picasso-like sculpture of her. "Um, ma'am I cant find Horace." "Never mind, only one bafoon will be necessary for this job (hopefully). He's probably with PH anyway." "HORACE, JASPER!" PH yelled while Scorch with a washer and dryer on his nose while standing on a ball, juggling flaming tiki sticks. Scorch grabbed the wrong end of the stick. The smell of burnt rodent hair filled the room. This wasn't too pleasant added to the smell of burnt plastic and fake fog that recently occupied the underground lair. "Ooh I hope no kid ever tries that." PH said with a can of Lysol in his hands, spraying it here and there to get the smell out. Bzzzzzt, a red light lit on an intercom on the wall. "PH, send Horace up here. Jasper's necktie is stuck in the paper shredder...again." Cruella's voice sounded as she stared at the tall man with his leg sticking in the air. "Hurry!" Jasper's muffled voice said coming from the speaker. "No can do deary. I thought he was with you." "Nope. Hmm I wonder where he is?" Cruella said with a sneer.

A dark figure looks through a pair of binoculars, at a woman taking care of a garden. Nanny picked a ripe tomato, squeezing it slightly and putting it in a whicker basket with other various vegetables. The dark figure slinked down the mountain, closing in on the farm. Nanny turned her head to the crunch of the leaves behind her. "What are YOU doing here, and what's with the binoculars?" Nanny said with a start. "Uh, um I wanted to come by and say hi." It was Horace. He shifted slightly then remembered he had the binoculars. He quickly put them behind his back and pulled out a rose. With his head down and foot drawing circles on the ground. He handed the red flower to her. "Oh you." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He blushed. "I really have to go. Were getting ready for your sup..." Horace put his hands over his mouth. "My what?" Nanny asked. "Can't say" Horace said quickly, putting his hands back over his mouth. "Roger and Anita are throwing a suprise party for me they aren't they? Dual dentist appointments indeed." "You dragged it out of me, I'm sorry." "Oh it's alright, I'll still act suprised." Nanny leaned over and gave Horace a big hug. Then he hopped in his old beat up truck and drove away.

Cruella walked down the long staircase to the basement laboratory. "What is it PH I'm on the line with Denise Stevenson. She's going to help me steal Ralphie St. Lorent's summer line." "You might want to call her back I'm about to show you the device that will be phase one of your master plan to get the farm from the Dearly's." PH smiled big and pulled the white sheet off of the machine. "I present to you the DeVil Hypnotron 13!" PH put his hands out as if to offer the machine to her. "Splendid, splendid" Cruella said clapping. "What is it?" "What is it, What is it? I'll show you what it is." PH said. He walked over and fiddled with the knobs and pushed a couple of buttons. He pointed to Jasper who was kicking back in a chair eating a donut. Cruella pointed her head in that direction. PH tossed her a gas mask. Cruella put it on. Once again the fog started rolling out and the screens flashed out images of blue and green. Jasper looked up. "Hey what's going o..." His eyes went blank. PH started to yell. "Grab that wig over there and do your best Carmen Electra impression." He pointed to a box on the counter. Jasper walked over and put the long blond hair on his head. "Hello, look at me I'm a wanna be Pamela Anderson slash Jenny McCarthy and I have no talent just like both of them. But look at my body!" Jasper said in a high squeaky voice. He started to strut around rubbing PH on his bald head. He started to prance around. He grabbed a broom and slammed the handle against the basement window. Something scurried away. PH smiled and turned off the machine. Cruella stood back and looked around. "Hmmm PH you are a genius, or something."

Roger put the staple gun in his tool belt. "Done." he stated matter of fact-ly. "Oh Roger it looks great. Nanny will be so suprised." Anita said with her arms around him. Pongo and Perdita walked up and stood by Roger and Anita (respectively.) "So guys what do you think?" Roger said to the dogs. Pongo jumped up into the air and barked. The idle talking between Roger and Anita slowed to a halt when Cruella came in. "Ooh looks good, well time to go don't want your animals to get worried now do we? Nope, nope, nope." Cruella pushed the Dearly's out the door and slammed it.

"How are we going to get those bars up there?" Tripod said. "I found a saddle!" Rolly said lifting the seat above his head. "I found a big stick." The 6' pole muffled Cadpig's voice. "No, use the pulley!" Lucky said. "Don't you guys remember?" "Oh yeah!" The two dogs agreed. Pug was coming to and saw that the Dearly's were packing the empty boxes into Cruella's coupe. "Ohmygosh! What are we gonna do?!" Spot was panicked. She was running around in circles. "AHA!" Tripod pointed. There was only one box left. The 5 dogs and chicken ran towards the last box. Pug jumped in first, then Tripod, then Lucky, and Spot. Cadpig jumped in and waited. She tapped her foot on the bottom of the box. "Bum bum bum bee do..." Cadpig whistled. "Hurry Rolly here comes Roger. He'll leave with out you." Spot yelled. She was still nervous. "Ooop one last box." Roger said. He slowly bent down to pick the box up. "Wow! Hey Hun is this the box we put all the trash in?" "Yeah I think so, why?" "Cause it's so heavy." "Hey wait up you guys, wait!" Rolly tripped and rolled over a couple of times. A cloud of dust came over Rolly as the Dearly's and Cruella drove away. "They, they, they, LEFT ME!" Rolly started to walk towards the farm, alone, solemnly.

The dogs sat in the box in the trunk. "Hey you guys It's kinda hot in here." Spot said. "Gee I wonder what Rolly is doing." Cadpig said. "Do any of you spotted monkeys realize that we could have walked here and that Rolly is going to be just fine." Pug said. He pushed the button that activated the weak light on his watch. "It's 18:07 hours. Dinner is in 45 minutes. He'll make it." "I sure hope so." Cadpig said stretching out. "Hey whose leg am I touching?" "Yip!" Tripod... well, yipped. "Ok new plan, we gotta bust out of here." Lucky said opening the box taking in a big breath of air. He grabbed Spot and crammed her beak into a crack between the trunk and the rest of the car. "OWWOWWOWW" Spot screamed. Lucky was twisting and turning Spot around. It was obvious that it wasn't going to budge. "So now what?" Spot said rubbing her beak. Cadpig turned to her "Well, I guess we just wait."

Roger was in the back of the car holding Pongo and Perdita while Anita was in the front seat with Cruella. "Man, Pongo could it BE any hotter in here?" Perdita said. Pongo looked over at her and laughed. They both stared at Roger with their tongues hanging out giving him "puppy dog eyes." Perdy gave a little whimper. That did it, "Cruella doesn't this thing have AC?" Cruella turned her head over her shoulder not looking at the road. "Of course it does, well it better for the amount of money I paid for it." "Well then could you please turn it on the dogs are dying back here." "Two down 99 more to go." Cruella muttered. "What was that?" Anita politely asked. "Oh nothing. Air, right of course." Cruella reluctantly pushed the little black button.

The rest of the ride no one spoke. Until they reached Stones CT. and Heath Ave. "Oh turn here Cruella." Anita said. Cruella gave her an "I know where I am going" look. They pulled up to the farmhouse. "Oh don't worry Cruella I'll pick up the bird bath. But anyway thanks for the ride and letting us use your house." "Oh think nothing of it." The happy couple unloaded the boxes. Roger slammed the trunk door shut. He gave the side of the car two good smacks signaling that they were done. Cruella waved good bye to them and turned to her pocket after shutting the car door. "Memo to myself: only 19 more hours till I win!" She sped off laughing as loud as she could.

PH, Horace, and Jasper were done lugging the DeVil Hypnotron 13 up the stairs. They put the 9ft tall machine in the middle of the giant ballroom. PH looked at the room with his head tilted. Stroking his beard he said "Something's missing." Horace stood up straight, hand raised in the air. "Ooh I know, I know we could decorate the DeVil Hypnotron 13 so it'll look like a big decoration." "That's probably the best idea I've heard you say all month. You really suprise me sometimes." PH said. Jasper looked at the mad scientist "Well it was my idea." "Sure, sure whatever." PH said. He still couldn't think of anything better. He waited for a minute. "I thought I'd never say this but lets go with Horace's idea."

Once again it was time for Nanny to hop on the bicycle and pedal out the kibble from the giant red tower, the pups were waiting at the bottom of the chute. "Rrrrrrrrrrr" "Ohmygosh, where's Rolly? You said Lt. Pug said he'd be here by now!" Dumpling was going crazy. "What did you do to him!?" She had one eye squinted and was staring at Cadpig. "Your small, you need food, Rolly's food." Cadpig turned around and stared at the pig. She had a somewhat confused look on her face. Spot and Lucky were holding her back. "Calm down Cadpig. Remember in with the good karma out with the bad." Lucky was trying to calm her down by petting her trying to control her PDS. Cadpig got a crazed look in her eyes. She turned her palm up to the sky she closed her fingers except her index resulting in a point. She slowly walked towards the pig. "Now listen here you. I don't know WHAT your problem is but you don't come over here and tell me I lost my brother. MY FLESH AND BLOOD. And let him starve. You are a big FAT PIG and don't know any better than to resort to CHEAP NAME CALLING at the expense of his little 'passive' sister. Displacing ANGER AND FEAR towards the people that LOVE HIM THE MOST. If I didn't know any better I would think that YOU would be the one that would lose Rolly. That way you might get some more kibble. NOW if you are that concerned about MY BROTHER you can help us look for him after dinner. Achhh." Cadpig quickly turned around and walked away. "Well I never..." Dumpling stated. Cadpig turned back around. "YOU PROBABLY SHOULD!"

PH, Cruella, and Scorch were sitting in the nook drinking hot cocoa. Cruella took a sip and set down her "World's Greatest Dictator" mug. Sure it was ugly and cheesy but it was one of the only things that had sentimental value in her whole house. All of a sudden a confused look came over Cruella. "PH what exactly is your plan for taking over the farm?" PH looked mad. "I was about to tell you but you ran out the door." Cruella fluttered her eyes at PH. He just rolled his. "Ok when the DeVil Hypnotron 13 hypnotizes the Dearly's we make them hide in the swamp. And when the first alligator comes by, CHOMP! We get the farm. No fuss, no muss." "Brilliant PH! I'm suprised I never thought of it." "You did. I hypnotized you and you told me all of your secrets." Cruella stood up straight. "You, you, you didn't... you couldn't" "I know." Scorch was in the corner on his back laughing.

"Oh my toes is froze, and my nose is froze, and I'M HUNGRY!" Rolly was sitting against an apple tree just outside of the farm. He could just see the top of the kibble tower. Oh to be there he thought. He could taste the kibble. He wanted to get up, but he was tired from running around all day and this diversion didn't make it any better. He decided to get up it was better than going hungry all night. Rolly's nose was something to be proud of. He could smell what year a cologne was made on a fly 200 yards away. What would The Colonel do? He knew he should try to utilize all of his talents. He got up and started sniffing around hoping a plan would come to him. Nothing. "Oh it's hopeless, I'll have to miss dinner. AHHHOOOOOOOO." Rolly howled. All of a sudden his ears perked up. He could hear something, but what? Snnnnnnnfffff. "Feathers, insence, porkchops, war paint? Ahhhh! a giant hippie pig/bird out for blood!" Rolly hid under a rock. Spot, Lucky, and Cadpig. Grabbed his legs and tail. "AAAAHHHH, please Mr. Pig/bird don't hurt me." Rolly was still scared. He opened his eyes. Lt. Pug, Lucky, Cadpig, Spot, and Dumpling standing there. He blushed.

Later Cadpig took a big sip of water in the trough. Some thing wasn't right. Her stomach felt ill. "Blahh" she said. "I'll go see what grass mom says I can eat." Just then Wags walked by. "Heya Cadpig whatcha doin?" "Uhhhhh." "Sick huh? Mom'll tell ya what grass to eat. I think she's in the house." "Uh well that's where I'm going right now. Wanna come with?" "Sure let's go." The two dogs walked up to the farmhouse. Wags stopped under the porch window for a drink. "...I just don't know." Nanny finished. "Well if that's the way you feel, we'll let you go." Anita and Roger left the room. While Nanny laid on the couch. Cadpig stopped dead in her tracks. No, that can't mean what she thought it meant. "Yeah I've had a lot of fun but I feel it's time to go." "Alright, if that's the way you want it." Roger hollered from the kitchen. "Oh no!" Cadpig ran into the barn with Wags following her. Wags asked about the "Nanny situation." Cadpig reluctantly told him all about it. "Well I don't think anything will come of it, but feel better anyway." Wags gave Cadpig a hug. "How odd. Why did he do that?" Cadpig thought.

Rolly and Dumpling were walking together in the dark. "Wooop!" Dumpling tripped over some thing. "Ahem, excuse me." "Excuse me but I would watch where I was going if I were you." Dumpling threatened. "Isn't that right Ro... Rolly?" She swung her arm around in the dark. He wasn't there. He recognized the voice and was hiding. "I'm sorry sir, I uh don't know what she's talking about really." Dumpling was still confused she had no idea what was going on. Who was this man, why does he have all this power over Rolly? (Even more than her!) All of a sudden it clicked for her, Colonel! "Cadet, round up all of the pups and have them meet me in the barn. A.S.A.P!" "Yes sir, right away sir. I'm sorry Dumpling it's my duty." He gave her a "Eskimo kiss" and left to round up the other dogs.

The alarm clock read 9:05. Roger and Anita were sitting on their bed playing gin in their PJ's. Nanny tromped up the stairs. "Good night you two. Oh by the way how did your dentist appointments go?" The couple looked at Nanny stunned for a moment. Roger piped up. "What app... oof!" Anita jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow. "They went just fine. No cavities!" Anita said. She smiled big to prove it. Nanny giggled "Oh ok well good night." When she was down the stairs they felt they were safe to talk again. "Do you think she suspects any thing?" Roger said with a pain still in his side. "1,2,3 Gin! No she's too sweet to notice any thing." Anita showed Roger the cards. "You need a jack. I know what you mean. But she's a smart one and I wouldn't be suprised if..." Roger trailed off. Anita slid a card from the bottom of her hand. "Jack, see?" Roger rolled his eyes. "Well it's about time for bed, goodnight honey." "Good night sweetie." The kissed each other and then Roger turned off the light.

Hoofer played a drum roll while the Colonel walked up the front of the barn. All of the animals stood at attention. (including the livestock) Sgt. Tibbs was trailing behind him and Lt. Pug behind him and further still Tripod behind him. Colonel stood in front of the podium Sgt. Tibbs to his right and Lt. Pug to his left and Tripod by Lt. Pug. "At ease." Colonel raised his paw. The music stopped and the entire barn sat down, intent on hearing what this was all about. Spot turned to Lucky, "Where's Cadpig?" "I don't know, but there's Rolly over there." Lucky pointed to where Rolly and Dumpling were sitting. Spot rolled her eyes. She was kinda getting sick of those two. They focused their attention on the Colonel. "Ahem, welcome members of the bark brigade and the farm. Today shocking news was discovered by Lt. Pug and bark brigade member Tripod." He motioned to the two dogs. They took a small bow. "It seems Cruella DeVil..." All of the animals started booing and hissing. "Quiet!" Lt. Pug screamed. Colonel looked over at the Lieutenant "Yes, yes quite right. Anyway Cruella DeVil has once again targeted our pets the Dearly's for another scheme. It seems her cousin PH DeVil has made a device that will hypnotize them. Where they will be sent to the swamp to die by the mouth of Steven the Alligator. This atrocity cannot happen. Not while the animals of Dearly Farm are still alive!" The crowd cheered and stood up. Spot was standing on top of Lucky whistling. "Now we need your help to help us. We need to save Roger and Anita! Lt. Pug has an idea he'd like to share with you." "Yes, hello..." "Four legs good, two legs bad!" The sheep started shouting. Lt. Pug gave them a evil look with one squinted eye. "Do you mind? Manor Farm is down the ROAD! Like I was saying..." Lt. Pug spent a half-hour at the podium explaining the intricate plan he had devised. Some of the animals had drifted to sleep. "...and if any one knows of animals that aren't present explain that the plan is executed when Nanny blows out the candles on her cake."

Cadpig realized she was never going to see Nanny after tomorrow. She didn't know how to feel. She saw something was going on in the barn but she knew if she stayed under the porch no one would bother her. After an hour the barn light turned off. She remembered a song Nanny had sang to her once in a while. She started whistling the song's melody. She started the long trek back to the barn. The words filled her head. So she started to sing.

"Prophet and loss;

win at any cost.

That girl said it's true.

What she says we gotta do.

'Sometimes in our minds

it's good to prophet and loss

Knowing the future is far ahead.'

Is one more thing she said.

I said I'd prophet and loss

I thought time was the boss

look through time, see who you are

your hour is cut

your day is dead

time lost on Sunday

next week's playing in my head

Ain't it funny how

sitting there you're proud

Great hand on the table

then the rain falls down

Smearing the ink around

then the dealer calls

not stopping you start a brawl

I know I've prophet and loss

The thought'd kill you if you weren't already dead!

A ton of stars to fall on your head!"

"Why that's like watching Jerry Springer just for the final thought!" Spot said. "Since when where you such an expert on trashy TV watching?" Lucky said. Rolly was there too. They were all facing Cadpig who was feeling sorry for her self. She was going to skip the party and just say good bye to Nanny after, when she left. "You know Lt. Pug's plan just might work." Rolly added. "Yeah, I guess I should look to my sunny side." Cadpig stated. Some hay landed on her nose. She looked up towards the loft. Tripod was looking at a magazine. "Hey Tripod, will Lt. Pug's plan work?" Tripod quickly put the magazine behind his back. "Oh, oh yeah sure it will. I helped him make it. We saw the machine at work. You should have seen Jasper in a dress." The Dalmatians looked at each other knowing they already had. "So, whatcha reading, Chew toy bi-monthly?" Lucky asked. Tripod's eyes got big.

Lt. Pug was running towards Villa DeVil with a black object in his mouth. He took a short cut through the swamp. He would never tell anyone, but he was afraid of the swamp. He crept through quietly carefully not to make any sound. His jaw gripped tighter around the object. His eyes shifted back and forth, sweat poured from his forehead. "The middle of the swamp." He said, his voice quivering. "Ok, Pug. Don't be scared, sing a song! Yeah that'll do it. Ok," He grinned real big and his eyes lit up. He got up on his hind legs putting the object on the ground. "Bonjour, Bonjour, Bonjour, Bonjour, Bonjour, here comes the baker with his tray like always..." When he was full on into the chorus a paw slowly emerged from a near-by bush. The claws slowly clamped around the object. Swamp Rat didn't know what the object was but he had it, and it was shiny "Every day it's the been the same, since the morning that we came to this poor pro... Hey! Who ever did tooked my box!?" "Did I hear some lost a box?" Swamp Rat emerged from the bush. "Yeees" Lt. Pug grinned. "I just happened to find one." "I thought you might have." "I'll even give it to you... for a price." Lt. Pug walked around in a circle for a moment. He tapped his finger on his chin. "NO!" The frightly bulldog jumped in the air and tackled him to the ground. "Now you listen here and you listen good!" Swamp Rat was shaking. For a con man he wasn't very tough. "You WILL help me save the Dearly's farm and you WILL do it for free because if you don't I swear on everything Private Bunny holds dear that Rob Paulson will cry when he sees what I've done to you. Is that understood?" "L-L-Leme say it's a pleasure workin' for y'all." Lt. Pug nodded

Cornelia led the chicken troop across the road, Spot was on the other side. "Spot won't you join us for a crossing?" Spot looked around for an excuse. "Um... sorry, I can't because... Lieutenant Pug, needs... us... too, uh clean the..." Spot looked around. All she saw was Rolly sniffing a rock and the kibble tower. "Spot, Hun what does Lt. Pug want you to clean?" "He wants us to clean out the rocks in the kibble tower, yeah that's it!" She smiled big. Cornelia forced a smile. She loved Spot but wished she was more chicken-like. Not that the pups were bad but dogs with dogs, and chickens with chickens. She just couldn't understand why she didn't want to be around her own people.

Cornilia's always thought the bark brigade wasn't the best idea but now with this final showdown of sorts against Cruella, Cornelia really started to have her doubts. Pongo and Perdita could feel the tension too. They didn't want to raise 99 little conspirators, but ever since they came to the farm they started to veer off the straight and narrow. Cadpig even bit Rolly for no reason last weekend. So the parents got together the day before when the bark brigade gathered the animals together. "What could be doing this? Our farm is falling apart!" Perdita said. "TV!" Pongo stated rather loud. "No, No, our children are watching the Gravy and Peace channels." Cornelia said. She was the only animal that fit under the porch, the dogs were hunched down. "What about Thunderbolt?" Pongo yelped still trying to persuade the women in the area. "Hey wait!" Pongo stopped talking. "Lt. Pug that's it, he's mean, demanding. He teaches the pups how to fight. It's him, get rid of him and the farm will be fixed!" Cornelia was flapping her wings, jumping up and down. The parents knew what they had to do.

"Glen Close?! What kind of spokes woman is that for the House Of DeVil?" Cruella was screaming in to her cellular phone. "That woman could never have the same style as me!" Cruella walked into the recently decorated ballroom, PH was waiting there for her. "Ach! I hate these decorations, they don't have heart, they lack sheen, they just don't go with any of my stuff!" PH put his arm around Cruella. (well actually because of his height his arm was around her waist) "Oh just it's a small sacrifice. Just think, in a few short hours the Dearly's land will be yours." Cruella and PH let out an evil laugh. Down the hall Horace and Jasper were eating Ritz crackers, drinking cream soda, and playing poker. "So Horace what do you think Cruella will do with us after she gets the farm? I mean for the last 6 months that's all we've been doing." Horace put his cards face down and took a sip of his cream soda. "Oh, hey yeah! What are we going to do?" "I don't know, how many cards do you want?" "3, you know we could always stay with Nanny." Horace flinked his eyebrows. Jasper knew what was going on with them and just rolled his eyes. "Full house, what do you have? You don't think she wouldn't need us any more? We could always do those little odd-jobs she has like bell boys at the animal hospital." "No way! She's too... nevermind. I got 4 aces." "I-I-I- don't think so lemme see those cards." "No!" They sat there in the kitchen fighting.

"Nothing beats the rich robust taste of gravy. Pour it on and you'll see..." The TV was locked at the Gravy Channel and Rolly was drooling. Cadpig was laying on her back looking at a spot on the ceiling. "Is there anything better on?" "Arthur is on PBS." Cadpig just gave Rolly an evil look. Spot was putting together a puzzle of a picture of a Corn Flakes box. "So Cadpig are you really gonna miss Nanny's party?" Spot said still focused on the puzzle, but trying to make polite conversation. "You know what I'm still undecided, but I'm thinking no." "Oh, why Cadpig? Nanny is like your *best friend* she would be a little sad if you weren't there." Lucky turned around in the hay bail to say to Cadpig. "Yeah Cadpig, there's only a half hour or so 'til the party you better decide soon." Rolly remarked. "Well this a lot to take in you guys I'll think about it." The 3 didn't think she was going after all she was still staring at the ceiling.

Lucky was face to face with Rolly's butt. "Could you please walk a *little* faster?" "Hey, man this is as fast as I go without lunch." "Could you both shut up?" Spatter asked. The two brothers looked over their shoulders and gave Spatter "the evil eye". "I still can't believe Cadpig didn't come, she's going to miss out on a lot!" Spot was inline with the puppies even though she could have easily just gotten on the bus. She wanted to feel like part of the group. "57, 58, chicken, uh wait, wait, wait..." Roger made it towards the end and messed up the counting as usual. He began to wonder why he did that every time the pups went somewhere. It was sooo much easier when it was just the 18 or the 2 for that matter. The bus speed off towards Villa DeVil. Pug was strapped underneath the carriage of the bus with Velcro. And Dumpling was hanging on for dear life on the top.

"Well it's about time for lunch. Do you know where Roger is?" Nanny yelled to Anita in the sewing room. Nanny knew today was the day for the party but she didn't know when. She was kind of glad because the party still had some element of suprise. "Uh, Nanny, wait um come in the sewing room." Anita stood behind the door she didn't have any idea how she was going to get Nanny into the car... no questions asked. "Yeees... uhhh." Nanny dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Anita held a T-square close to her chest. Her knees were together but feet apart. She was nibbling on two of her fingernails. Anita put a black sack over Nanny's head and drug her downstairs. She lifted Nanny in an awkward way out the door. Nanny's hefty body squished Anita's hands as she loaded her into the back of her little blue convertible.

Cadpig stood up inside of the barn loft. She was pacing around while talking to her self. "I should go, yeah. No I can't. But why not? Nanny's my friend I should go. But Cadpig it'll make you sad. Well why should it be sad? Nanny will be having a fun time there. But what if she does something sad and I cry in font of all my friends? Hey! I'm a little girl I'm allowed to cry. I'll go. No. Yes. Well maybe just a peek from the bushes. Ok, I'll do it. I'm off. Here I go." She just couldn't seem to get going. Her feet felt like lead and nothing was going to move her. She flopped down on the floor, ears dangling off of the edge of the loft. "I will go." She said to her self in a confident tone. "I will." Her eyes felt as heavy as her legs. Slowly she closed her eyes and took a nap.

Hydraulic brakes on the bus let out a puff of air as Roger stopped in front of a lawn jockey that bears a resemblance to Cruella DeVil. Dumpling let out a sigh of relief and almost fell off of the top of the bus in a faint. Pug sensing a change in wind pulled a little black cord that released him from his Velcro harness. Roger puts down a coffee mug on the dashboard of the bus. His hand reaches over to the lever that releases the bus door a wave of puppies flooded into Cruella DeVil's yard sniffing and marking territory where ever they pleased, especially Wizzer. Cruella peeked out of the front window from behind a curtain. She turned to PH. "Hmmmm... there here." "There here?! Quick grab this tuning fork. Put this white sheet over the diagnostic machine. Golly Cruella I really wished you had given me a little more warning. The calibration still isn't right do you want the whole house to come crumbling down." Cruella curled her lip and looked at the ceiling. "No, I suppose not but if this plan doesn't work I have a new one." PH turned as Cruella mumbled something into the tape recorder of her's.

Nanny's eye's slowly opened. She blinked twice to see the inside of the black sack, she heard the car's engine running and she felt some sort of ribbon tying her arms and legs together. Anita heard something moving in the back seat. "Hmmm I thought I hit her harder that that, Roger's usually out for a half-hour at least!" All of a sudden Nanny realized one of two things; 1) She was going to be in trouble. -Or- 2) She was going to the party. She decided to make it good either way. "Help! Police! Hey you Mr. Robber man, when I get out of here so help me I'll rip out your still beating heart and spit on it!" Anita's eye's got big. "Uh oh she might start fighting blindly." "The straps are loosening!" Nanny yelled from the back seat. Anita set the cruise control and looked around. A glass Fruitopia bottle was on the passenger's side floorboards. Anita's foot reached over to the other side. Her whole body reached across the car, she thought about her first anniversary for a second. Her eyes darted between the road and the floor. CLINK! She kicked the bottle onto the seat next to her. She gripped the bottle in her hands and, SMACK! Nanny was out again; Anita feared brain damage but soon got over it. They were almost to Villa DeVil. Nanny would forgive her, wouldn't she?

Cadpig woke up from her little nap. She walked around stretching her legs. She shivered, the barn window was open and the big electric fan was tipped over. Suddenly she remembered the trip from Hell Hall back to home. It was so cold. She remembered that Christmas day, covered in soot. Nanny picked her up and dusted her off with that silly feather duster. It tickled Cadpig and it made her sneeze. What was she doing? Cadpig ran towards Villa DeVil praying she didn't miss it. She ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her. She jumped over logs and through hedges. She realized why she should have gone in the first place, most of all she knew how to keep Nanny and save the farm. She saw the giant house and an equally giant bush she could hide in. But in all reality she could have just as easily hid in the smaller bush next to it. From her hiding spot she could see the whole party, but she would have to wait just a couple more minutes before it was time.

As Cadpig had truly made up her mind, Anita wondered if she had lost hers. She was speeding down the road to Villa DeVil at a good 90 miles per hour. Anita glanced at the speedometer and the notion "could inflicting pain on others make you drive like Cruella?" came and went through her head. "Ooop gotta turn left." Anita said realizing no one had heard it. As she turned, her head leaned over trying to counteract the centrifugal force that 2 G's give. Poor Nanny was in the back seat her unconscious body flopped against the door. Anita went through the tall scary gates of Villa DeVil and headed towards the driveway. She got out of the car slamming the door behind her. She took a step and halted where she was. She turned around to see Nanny laying in the back seat with the black sack over her face. "Roger, hun, I need some ice."

The pups ran around the feet of their pets. Pongo and Perdita were trying to keep the peace but to no avail. Rolly had found Dumpling but more importantly the snack table. He didn't even need to walk all of the way. Cruella had hired (against her better judgement) waiters to walk around serving little rolled up meats, cheeses, and breads, Rolly was in heaven. Spot and Lucky decided to hang out together, because Two-tone was with Mooch. Mooch's gang sat with Dipstick and Wizzer by the wine cellar. Fifty feet away Lt. Pug and Tripod were looking at a small brown fanny pack. Lt. Pug grabbed the zipper and tore it open. The small fanny pack contained Peeps. "Peeep!" the small chick chirped. "Awww how cute." Tripod cooed. "I think I'm going to be sick!" Lt. Pug said. His eye was half closed and his tongue was sticking out, he grabbed his throat. None the less he set the small chicken down and it ran away. "Go get that chicken, Tri-pop!" Lt. Pug screamed. "Right away sir."

Some of the pups stumbled across a curious object, Lucky was the first to find it, Spot behind him. They called to Rolly and Dumpling who were eating tiny queeshes from a silver tray. Rolly trotted over to the object. "So what is it?" Spot asked. "I don't know. It looks like a furry statue. Rolly, can you tell what it is?" Rolly sniffed hard into the air. "Tootsie Rolls, newspaper, and stale fajitas. What is this thing?" Rolly had his head cocked to the side in wonder. "Well I don't know what it is, but I like it." Dumpling interjected. "It's got 4 little cardboard legs... like me." By this time some of the other pups had gathered around and were taking guesses at what the 2-foot tall object was. "Hey it's got a cord at the top of it! Maybe you plug it in." Spark announced. "No, no, no, it's covered in tissue paper that would like catch it on fire, plus it's got no plug in thing. It's just a long wire." Bravo commented. "It looks like a tiny animal." Wizzer said. In the background Peeps sped by on a lawn mower with Tripod running behind. Spatter picked up a near by bat and started to swing at it. "AAHHH, no you'll break it!" Dot warned.

Lucy Goose flew over Villa DeVil to see what all the noise was about. The old manor almost seemed normal looking and a lot less scary. Groups of different colored balloons were tied to every post on the fence. The big banner that Roger and Anita had made stretched across the top of the front door. Horace and Jasper got a little silly and squirted shaving cream all over the puppy bus. As Lucy swooped down towards Cruella's house she stopped by one of the ballroom's windows. She peered through the 15-foot tall window. The ballroom was a huge place inside of the house; the ceiling was at least 30 feet tall. At the top, giant blue, red, and yellow balloons were taped to the top. By a balloon in the right corner Lucy saw something, she squinted and saw a tie? Yeah it was, it was Jasper's tie! "What a loser!" Lucy thought. Twisted pink steamers above the door lined the room. A giant cake was in the center or the room. You could tell it wasn't all cake, it was like the cake was sitting on something, but what?

Nanny was doing fine on a lawn chair sipping on a strawberry daiquiri with one of those cool tiny umbrellas in it. At once the umbrella flew out at a gust of wind. All of the animals looked up, all of the humans looked up, Cruella looked up. Lt. Pug was leaning back against the wall looking at a magazine Tripod dropped when he saw it; it was a huge helicopter floating down towards the center of Villa DeVil. Pug looked up slowly, with a frightened look coming over his face he screamed at the top of his tiny, bulldog lungs, "IT'S THE GREAT CAT INVATION!" All of the puppies started scrambling around preparing for the worst, but all Roger and Anita heard was a loud woof coming from the corner. Pongo and Perdita ran around calming puppies down, one at a time. Which was very difficult because of their numbers. Spot and Lucky had walked away from the piñata but weren't worried about Lt. Pug; they've gone through this before.

Unfortunately the middle of Cruella's compound was the swimming pool so the helicopter made a quick water landing. Everyone ran to the pool to see who was in the helicopter, and to see if they were ok. Roger saw the bubbles coming towards the top of the water. Ralphie St. Lowrent emerged sweater wrapped around his shoulders and all in his yuppie glory. He did his best to dry some water off of himself. "Cruella, baby! Could you get me a towel?" Cruella gave him the dirtiest look, then told Jasper to get Ralphie a towel. "Sorry about the helicopter, Mc Quack Aviation gets me around but I never seem to land properly." Ralphie slapped his hands together, rubbing them vigorously. "So what do you got to eat?" Anita walked over to Ralphie who had just picked up a tiny meat roll poked with a toothpick. "Why are you here?" "Who me?" Ralphie pointed to himself. "Yeah you." "Walk with me, hun." Roger cliched his fists and took a step forward. Cruella put her hand out as to stop Roger; she pulled out a cigarette.

The two walked over towards the nearby woods. They stood by a tiny bush, insolently the one that contained the equally tiny Cadpig. Ralphie put his arm around Anita "Let me level with you, I came to steal Cruella's fall designs but it sort of backfired. She was supposed to be gone this weekend I don't know what happened. Why wasn't she gone? Every time I try to do something Cruella-like it never works! Why? Do you know?" By this time he was sobbing on the end of Anita's skirt. Cadpig noticed this and thought it was pretty strange. Where was Roger was her main question. "I'm very sorry Mr. St. Lowrent but I asked Cruella for the use of her home this weekend. But what you were going to do was very wrong." "I know, but Cruella has stolen my Fall designs for the last 16 years and I wanted to get her back." Anita started to walk away. "I'm leaving for the house, I suggest you leave too." Ralphie sat down on the grass and put his hands to his eyes and cried. "Jeez, what a loser. Oh well Cadpig it's not like you're doing anything else." Cadpig walked out of her hiding spot and liked Ralphie's hand then quickly went back into the bush. Ralphie ran into the forest. Peeps bounced off his head and ran off. Tripod ran between Ralphie's legs almost knocking him over.

Rolly and Dumpling had wandered into Villa DeVil looking for some more waiter guys with trays. Rolly was sniffing into the air. "Go right, now left." He led them on a path past the staircase, over the living room's coffee table, straight through the kitchen, and into he ballroom. "Tada! Cake..." He held his arms out to present his findings to Dumpling. She clapped her hooves together. They went running into the 8 feet tall structure. Rolly went diving in headfirst, as he landed he smacked his spotted little head against the DeVil Hypnotron 13. Then he landed flat on his back. "Ow! What is that thing?" Dumpling came trotting over. "Oh hunny, are you alright? That looked like it hurt." Rolly stood up and looked at what he used to think was a lot of cake. "Hey this is nothing but a little bit of cake on a cotton sheet." He lifted the sheet to see what was underneath the cake. He poked his head under the sheet and to his amazement he saw himself! Oh, wait or was that just his reflection. "Hey, look it's a big metal thing with buttons and lights and stuff. Dumpling looked under too. "Oooooh! What does this button do." Rolly took a step forward. "No! Don't do it you don't know what it..." Sure enough Dumpling pushed the button, but suprisingly all it did was open a compartment. "does? Oh." The compartment had a lever with three settings the one it was on was 0 but the other two had a picture of a person and the other one had a picture of a puppy. "We better go Dumpling we could get caught or something." "Yeah I guess you're right." Rolly ran off back to the outside of the house. Dumpling quickly looked at the lever looked away again then switched it to "Puppy."

Tripod's head slowly rises over a rock by one of the many fountains that look like Cruella. Peeps sits on top of the statue's head. Tripod comically grabs a net from behind his back and leaps tossing the net on top of the statue in the middle of the fountain. "Success!" Tripod yells. Tripod slings the net containing Peeps over his shoulder. Marching along he whistles the Battle Hymn of the Republic. He marches past Roger and Anita who look at each other but don't say a word. Finally he walked up to Lieutenant Pug and triumphantly presents the net and it's capture. Pug looked at the hunter and his prey for a minute. "Ahh let her go, Tributary I have a better idea." Tripod's jaw hit the floor. Slowly he just put Peeps back in the fanny back from which she came.

PH DeVil walked up to Cruella and tugged at her dress. She leaned down so he could whisper in her ear. "There's a problem with the Hypnotron 13, I miss calculated the amount of sunlight entering into the ballroom we have to bring the machine outside." "So, what's the problem? Do it!" "Well then we couldn't hide as easily from the Hypnotron 13's rays." "Think of something quick. I'm giving you 5 minutes then I'm announcing that the cake is in the courtyard instead of by the pool." PH stood up straight. "I'll do my best." "You had better!" Cruella said as she walked away.

Another song came over the loud speaker. Jasper was at the turntables with some stupid sunglasses on. All the puppies were just standing around looking at each other, bobbing their heads to the beat. Mooch gave Lucky a dirty and grabbed Two-Tone and started dancing. Not to be out done Luck looked for the nearest girl. Spot was standing there pecking at a bug on the ground. He grabbed her wing and flung her onto the open space made by the crowd of puppies. Spot let out a "brawk." It was a fast jazzy song so the puppies and chicken were in a dancing duel. Suddenly the whole crowd of dogs broke out into dancing. Pongo grabbed Perdy, Roger grabbed Anita, Horace grabbed Nanny, and PH grabbed Cruella (much to her dismay). Luckily the song was fairly long so the whole group had a grand time dancing and laughing and having fun.

After the song had ended Cruella grabbed the microphone from Jasper. "Alright everyone, courtyard, cake, now." PH and Cruella led the procession to the courtyard and the cake with the DeVil Hypnotron 13 under it. As they were walking to their final destination. PH started whispering to Cruella. "Ok, I figured it out what WE have to do is stand against the Hypnotron 13, it's the 'Hackwrench Effect'." "Why near the machine? How does that help us?" Gill Dye the Science Guy walked up beside Cruella. "Who are you?" Gill pointed to himself. "Me? I'm Gill Dye the Science Guy. I'm a host of a very popular children's TV show that tries to make science fun. So you want to know why PH's plan will work? Back in the mid 80's someone figured out if you are in a room filled with natural gas and lit a match, the fire would spread outwards away from the match. Going on that fact, if you were exactly where the match was, the fire would spread away from you keeping you mildly safe." "Oh I see." Cruella said in a newly informed light. "Just like the fire, the Hypnotron 13's rays will spread away from us keeping us mildly safe." "Exactly!" Gill said pointing to Cruella. "Well my work here is done. HEY KIDS! You can learn more nifty science facts on my show Gill Dye the Science Guy! Please check your local listings." PH and Cruella looked around to see who he was talking to.

Something tickled Cadpig's nose, it was a butterfly. She watched it as it flew away. It landed on the cake Horace and Jasper wheeled out a few minutes ago. By now every one was gathered around it. Cruella was saying something but Cadpig couldn't hear what it was. All of a sudden she remembered something... "Tonight will be great I will unleash the greatest plan in all of dogdom!" Lieutenant Pug announced during their search for Rolly after they lost them. No one really thought he was serious. Oh wait! That was what the commotion in the barn was, Something's going on right now and has to do with Cruella! There she was explaining something to them. Cadpig's eyes grew as she watched Cruella, PH, Horace, and Jasper put their faces towards the machine. "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO TELL THEM!" Cadpig flew down the hill. Lt. Pug saw this too. "THIS IT TROOPS! CHHHAAAARRRGGEEE!" A flood of puppies, a pig, and a chicken ran towards the now unveiled Hypnotron 13. Roger, Anita, and Nanny gasped in horror as they saw billows of clouds flow out of the top of the tower. As the puppies charged Cadpig ran right into Lucky. All at once 104 animals jumped at once as the silver blast came from the television screens, hypnotizing the humans. It all seemed like it was in slow motion as 416 paws, hoofs, and claws tried to turn off the machine. Some of the puppies had attacked Cruella and her bunch. They tried to get the puppies off by spinning around. It just wasn't working. The four conscious people ran into Cruella's car. PH poked his head out of the window. "Oh, yeah. Go meet my alligator friend in the swamp. Go! And don't give me no lip!" All of a sudden he tore off towards the farm, and the Dearlys and Nanny were off to the swamp.

This just isn't happening was the thought running through the minds of all of the dogs and such. Pongo stood up and looked at their three pets walking with a blank stare in their eyes. "Why weren't we hypnotized?" Tripod stared for a minute. "Hey, he's got a point Lieutenant Pug and I saw Scorch get hypnotized so it can't be just humans." Rolly and Dumpling walked up to Pongo and Rolly said. "Well Dumpling and I saw the machine and we played with the knobs and switches." "You mean to tell me you saw a gigantic, potentially life threatening, machine and you decided not to tell your parents about it." "I didn't think it was that important." "NOT IMPORTANT? Look at our pets there ruined! And now Cruella and her lackeys are headed towards the farm, we won't have a place to sleep tonight! And you two think it's not important?" Perdita walked over to Pongo. "Please be easy on them. They're just kids, they didn't know any better." She licked Pongo's face. "Oh, alright I'm sorry. But what are we going to do?" By now they were at the edge of the swamp. "I do believe I gotta idea." Swamp Rat showed up holding a metal tube. "It's ok, sir. I bought him off, he's on our side now." Lt. Pug said trying to reassure Pongo.

Somehow Jasper got the job of driving to Dearly Farm. Cruella and PH sat in the back. Jasper thought Cruella felt the need to call someone in the race to the farm, but in reality she had a more threatening plan. "Yes, hello. Sunshine Bulldozer Service? Yes, I would like two bulldozers delivered to Dearly Farm immediately. No, I want them big. No, bigger. Bigger still. No, you don't seem to be getting the idea I need to bulldoze a farm... down. Now that's more like it! Ok, bye." Horace leaned over to Jasper and whispered in his ear. "Hey, if she uses a service to bulldoze what does she need us for?" "Hey, that's right! This might be the last job we do for her. Hey Cruella," Jasper spoke a little louder now. "Why higher a bulldozer service when you have us two here? You know you pay us a lot less than you would a service." "I know, that's the point if I pay more I get more, and I never get anything out of you two bafoons." Cruella hit him over the head with cell phone.

"So where did you get that?" Lucky asked Swamp Rat. "Welp, to be honest with y'all I stole it from a man all in black. Him and his sidekick were after two FBI agents. I told 'em I'd seen 'em an' the chick agent was a real looker." Lucky had heard enough; he left in the middle of his story. Cadpig went up to bat, she had to be fast Steven the alligator had shown up and they were walking right towards his open mouth. Spot put her hands over her eyes; she had one through this before. "Do you know how to work it?" "Yeah, sure just push this, twist this, and press this here button." He held the metal tube in the air. "EVERY ONE CLOSE YOUR EYES!" He put on a welder's helmet; his little claw gently pushed the button. Suddenly a great white light emitted from the tube. The Dearlys and Nanny's pupils got very large, so did Steven's. Steven's mouth closed and the three humans saw the gator and screamed, Roger fainted. All of the animals threw their paws, wings, hooves, etc. into the air and cheered! Pongo and Perdita ran to their pets. Pongo gave Roger a lick on the face. That seemed to revive him. Cadpig ran towards Nanny and jumped into her lap. They hugged each other for an eternity, but it didn't seem long enough. Lucky, Rolly, and Spot ran over to Nanny and Cadpig. They decided to jump up on her lap too. They sat there for a minute when they heard the loudest horn they had ever heard on a car. It was Cruella's car; she made Jasper swing by the swamp to see if their plan had worked. She hit Jasper on the head again. Nanny stood up and pointed "Ohmygosh! She's headed towards the farm! We've got to stop her!" She took off. Roger smiled and followed her with Anita close behind. Lt. Pug stood on two legs. "LET'S MOVE OUT!" the hoard of animals obeyed. Swamp Rat stood there looking at the three humans, three full grown dogs, 99 Dalmatian pups, a chicken, and a pig run through the bushes in a mad dash towards their farm. The excited Cadpig turned around and blew Swamp Rat a kiss.

Big, burly, Bob and Griffin sat in their bulldozers waiting for their customers. They sat around talking to the painters fixing the computer room. "FASTER, FASTER!" Cruella yelled from the back of the car. Jasper slammed on the gas. A flame shot from the tail pipe. He took turns like an ace and finally honed in on the farm. When he finally did stop a huge cloud of dust enveloped Bob and Griffin's bulldozers. "Hello, I'm Cruella DeVil. You're enchanted I'm sure." A red glow came from her black eyes. "Let's get down to business." She ordered the painters to leave because it wouldn't make a difference anyway. Bob butted in. "Hold on we need to see some permits or licenses or something." "Permits? Oh, of course. PH do you have them?" "Oh, yes, over here." He grabbed the billy club from the glove compartment and smacked both of them over the head, They fell like flies. "Horace, Jasper! Now's your chance get in and TEAR THIS PLACE DOWN!"

Nanny took them on a short cut through the woods. As the angry mob ran though the woods Roger asked, "Where did you find this short cut?" "Oh, I saw one of the pups take in one time." She looked at Cadpig and winked. "Look! Look! It's the farm!" Rolly said. He wasn't feeling as tired as you might think. They all ran faster, tireless to their goal. "Oh my! Bulldozers. I never thought Cruella would ever go this far." Anita said taken back by the whole scene. "I would have." Roger said frankly. Pongo turned around and started running backwards. "Hurry up you guys go straight for the house!" His leadership instinct kicked in as soon as the machine. It help a lot, it got them home once safely before.

Horace and Jasper sat in their newly commandeered bulldozers. "Good luck Horace." "Good luck Jasper." They started their engines at the same time. They took off the parking brake. They grabbed the lever for the big shovel in the front of the 'dozer. Jasper tooted the big bulldozer horn and they were off. They came over the ridge and set their sights for the house first. The two smash-happy brothers poured on the gas. As they came entirely over the ridge they saw the Dearlys, the Pongees, and Nanny standing in the doorway. Horace grabbed his walkie talkie. "Breaker, breaker one niner this is Megan 17. The Dearlys and their dogs are in the way, on the porch. Over!" Cruella rolled her eyes and yanked the walkie talkie from PH's pocket. "Well then RUN THEM OVER!" "Wull, then I'd have to smoosh them. Over." "I don't care. Do whatever it takes to smash this farm down!" Jasper waved his arm forward. They stayed straight on course. All of a sudden the rest of the farm's animals ran into Horace and Jasper's path. Horace jerked his wheel, ramming into Jasper they both made a sharp left careening right into the kibble tower. When they saw the crack split up towards the top they bailed. Just as the left the cockpit the crack became a gaping hole. 37 tons of Kanine Krunchies flooded the farm. It came down upon the house as a crashing wave of corn meal, artificial chicken flavoring, and gravy.

Every one ran for the woods. Cruella fell down and a crowd of puppies trampled over her. She finally got up when she saw that Duchess and Princess were headed right for her. She ducked at the sight of the two charging cows. Safe in the woods all of the animals started milling around Except for Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot. They walked right up to the fallen Cruella and took her cellular phone and then walked right up to Roger and Anita who had pinned PH DeVil to the floor. Roger bent down to the pups level and said "Thank you, I'll take that." He dialed for the operator. "Hello? Get me the Gruetly Police Department..."

Cruella and PH were in the back of Officer Caraface's squad car. "I demand I be set free!" Cruella screamed. "I am gong to sic my lawyers on you!" Officers Smeadly and Dansom were busy fishing Horace and Jasper out of the kibble lake they had created. Horace sadly waved good-bye to Nanny as if to say I'm sorry. She looked down at the ground. Roger put his arm around Anita. "Wow! What a day, what are we going to do with the animals until this mess is cleaned up?" "Well there's always Cruella's house." Nanny said. "Come on, I'll make sandwiches. I have a feeling I'll be here for a while." She set Cadpig down on the grass. Cadpig's eyes grew to the size of saucers in excitement. "She's going to stay, she's going to stay! Hey guys did you hear that? Nanny's staying!" She ran around in a circle, jumping up and down. All of her friends gathered around her. "I told you she wouldn't leave." Spot said. "Yeah, then who'd peddle out the kibble?" Rolly said with a mouthful of kibble in his mouth that he found on the ground. "After all you're here, why would she leave?" Lucky said. Cadpig smiled and gave all of them a big hug. All of a sudden a confused look came over her face. She remembered something from last night. ::The two dogs walked up to the farmhouse. Wags stopped under the porch window for a drink. "...I just don't know." Nanny finished. "Well if that's the way you feel, we'll let you go." Anita and Roger left the room. While Nanny lay on the couch. Cadpig stopped dead in her tracks. No, that can't mean what she thought it meant. "Yeah I've had a lot of fun but I feel it's time to go." "Alright, if that's the way you want it." Roger hollered from the kitchen. "Oh no!" Cadpig ran into the barn with Wags following her.:: "Yeah what's that all about?" She asked her dad. "Oh, that. Roger and Anita were holding Nanny up so she could change that light bulb that's been out since we got here. They never did fix it, Nanny just gave up for the night." "Oh, well then everything is sealed up in a nice little package. Lucky stood up, "Hey you guys there's a little bit of light left, let's go to Hiccup Hole and go swimming!" The four friends got up and ran into the last bit of the day's light.

The End
