Dalmatian Sensation -- Part one

Rebecca yawned as she woke up with the morning sun. She had been living with the Dearly's and there dogs for quite sometime. She looked down at Lucky who was still sleeping in a pile of soft hay, while she thought about the time they first met, and the time she almost so foolishly left.

Rebecca's mind flashed back, to the time she was in Deville Ville and when Lucky was leaving,

"Come through the gate Rebecca, I want you to come with me." Lucky said as she imagined.

"Oh, I can't...it's up to us Dalmatians to keep the evil DeVils in check...now go on Lucky...you have to protect your world...and I have to protect mine." She replied in the flash back. Then, thinking about the action she took after realizing the foolish words she spoke. Back in reality, she said to herself, "Jumping through that gate to be with Lucky was the most intelligent thing I ever done.

Lucky then woke. "Morning Rebecca!" He said as he stretched. "What do ya wanna do today?"

"Well," Rebecca replied back in her Irish accent, "First we should probably get breakfast before Rolly gets there."

They smiled and headed for the trough.

As soon as breakfast was over, Lucky asked, "Wanna go dig for bones on Towsers Hill? Or if ya don't wanna dig, we could just talk up there."

"Sounds fine with me, we can dig for a while,and talk when we are tired of digging." Came Rebecca's reply.

As two headed for Towser's Hill, they were stopped by Lt. Pug screaming his outbursts.

"Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!" He yelled. "Your not going anywhere until you two complete the training course! You never know when the Great Cat Invasion will take place! Move it Luck-less! You to Slacker Rebecca!"

Knowing they couldn't argue, they followed Pug to the course.

Pug continued, "Now, the objective, over the three hurdles, through the tire, zig zag through those pulls, jump the water hazard and high tail it back here getting the best time!"

Polly, Cadpig, Tripod, Blaze (from the episode "Dogs Best Friend") Lucky, Rebecca and even Spot all gave it a shot.

Rolly scored lowest with 45 seconds, then Cadpig with 28, Blaze and Lucky tied with 19 seconds, Spot got back in 17 seconds, and Rebecca, being a carriage hound was quick on her feet and beat Tripod by one second.

Lt.Pug went off about how that was the most pathetic performance he had ever seen, but Tripod heard nothing...he was thinking about Rebecca's win...

"One so fast and agile as I...we were meant to be together!" He thought to himself.

He stared at Rebecca as she walked to Towser's Hill with Lucky. He followed spying on them as he went.

When Rebecca and Lucky were at the top, Tripod took cover behind a tree and listened.

"Ahh Lucky, tis so beautiful up here!" Rebecca said.

"Yeah," Lucky grinned, "Especially cause I'm with you!"

"Aww....ye to kind!" Rebecca replied.

Tripod sighed and said, "Uh, I saw those words coming a mile away!" But he continued to watch all day as the two sat up there and talked. It was late soon, and Lucky had dug up a bone for Rebecca and dropped it at her paws.

"Ye are so sweet Lucky! I couldn't imagine being with anyone else." Rebecca smiled.

"Oh she will see things differently." Sneered Tripod as he headed home thinking of a way to win Rebecca over.

Staring into Rebecca's blue eyes, Lucky started to slowly lean in closer to her, but was interrupted by Pongo yelling from the barn, "Lucky, Rebecca time for bed!"

They smiles at each other and walked home and fell sound asleep next to each other on a pile of hay, unaware that Tripod was planning all night to get Rebecca to be his...
