Dotty approached the house, Freckles next to her. Looking up at the door, she looked down at herself and realized she was still human. [color=bc8dbf]"You don't want to meet them like this?"[/color] Zen-Aku asked. [color=6ecff6]"Not really... Ah well."[/color] She shrugged before knocking at the door. Immediately, she would see the large black ears and nose of Pongo look out from behind the curtains before opening the door and looking down. [color=bc8dbf]"Don't mention anything about them being your grandparents. Freckles is young enough to not really think about that sort of thing, but they may be... Less enthusiastic."[/color] Zen-Aku said, looking at the big Dalmatian. [color=6ecff6]"Just like episode 92..."[/color] She whispered as her eyes started beaming again. The door flew open and Pongo looked her up and down, before looking down at Freckles. [color=ed1c24]"FRECKLES, MY DEAR OLD SON!!!"[/color] He jumped with joy as Freckles bounded in through the door and straight up to their mother. [color=00aeef]"MY DEAR BABY!"[/color] Perdita yelled, immediately nuzzling her face against his. [color=f9ad81]"Mother!"[/color] Freckles replied. [color=f9ad81]"Father! This is my friend, Dotty. She's a Dalmatian too!"[/color] Pongo turned and looked her up and down. [color=ed1c24]"Don't be silly, lad, she's a pet."[/color] He laughed. Zen-Aku petted her on the shoulder and looked down at her. [color=bc8dbf]"Keep calm... Don't give yourself away."[/color] Zen-Aku ordered. Dotty took a deep breath, then took a step forward. [color=6ecff6]"Hiimdottyandimadalmatianjustlikeyoubutimstuckinhumanformduetoweirdmagicsmakingmeandpoodlewolftheinvisiblespiritthatturnsmeintoagiantwolfmonsterlinkedtogetherimyourgreatgreatgreatlotsmoregreatsgrandaughtermymommyanddaddyaredouganddelilahandmommytoldmelotsoftimesthestoryabouthowyoudefeatedthedevillewomanandimsoreallyreallyreallyexcitedtomeetyou!!!"[/color] She splattered out. Pongo and Perdita looked at each other rather concerned. [color=ed1c24]"I'm sorry, Perdita my love, but i did not get a word of that."[/color] He responded. Perdita put a paw on Dottys chest. [color=00aeef]"Darling, take a deep breath and try again."[/color] She said, reassuringly. Dotty teared up at this, a small trail of snot running down her face, as the paw on her stomach almost immediately took her flashing back to her own mother doing that. [color=00aeef]"Oh no, dear, don't cry."[/color] She cooed softly, her tongue licking up the tear and the snot. A mild look of disgust went across Zen-Aku's face. [color=6ecff6]"Sorry, you just... Look a lot like my mommy."[/color] She replied. Pongo looked rather perplexed by this. [color=ed1c24]"Well... I'm no judge of pet standards of beauty but i think that's a compliment?"[/color] He replied. His head cocked to the side as he looked at the child. [color=ed1c24]"Well, if you're missing your mother, i'm sure that we wouldn't mind having you stay here for a while. We have been talking about getting a new pet after..."[/color] A look of sadness crossed his face as he remembered his dear pet, Roger. Perdita seemed to be the one putting on the brave face as she also remembered the happy times with her pet Anita. [color=ed1c24]"Well, as i said, we're in the market for something."[/color] Dotty seemed to perk up at this suggestion. [color=6ecff6]"Nah, me and Poodlewolf have got places to be, bad guys to fight and more U... Puppy's to rescue."[/color] She smiled. [color=ed1c24]"Yes, i'd normally have no problems going out and looking for them, but there's nobody else here in case they do come back. and it'll take both of us to do it."[/color] He rubbed his face against Perdita's affectionately. [color=6ecff6]"Yeah, i know the story about your battle with the devilwoman."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Oh, you know about the devilwoman?"[/color] Pongo asked. [color=6ecff6]"Of course, we have the song on greatgruncle Freckles' old music horn."[/color] She said, just as Taivas opened the door to find himself being, unwittingly sentancing himself, again, to the pergatory that he had found himself in twice already and was about to be sent to again [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbsR6_b-xJQ]as music began to waft in from no-where.[/url] [hider=Dotty sings Cruella Deville][color=6ecff6]"Han, you don't know about the devilwoman, do you?"[/color] Dotty asked. She then jumped gracefully through the air, somersaulting and in a puff of magic, turning back into a puppy. Pongo and Perdita immediately looked at each other, rather purplexed. As she landed in puppy form on the piano in the corner, she began dancing back and forth across the keys to create the music, albeit rather simply. At that point, the spectral form of a [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/8/8e/Roger_Radcliffe_-_Profile.png]Studious man with a smoking pipe in his mouth appeared.[/url] Pongo's jaw hit the floor as he bounded up to the man and jumping up and barking. The spectre smiled and pushed Pongo back down, before sitting down at the piano, he then began playing the same melody but far more eloquently. Pongo sat, his face beaming with joy as the music began to fill the house. The spectres mouth opened and his base tones began to sing a duet with Dotty, with her singing counterpoint. [i][color=brown]"Cruella DeVille[/color][/i] [i][color=6ecff6]Cruella DeVille[/color][/i] [i][color=brown]If[/color] [color=6ecff6]she[/color] [color=brown]doesn't[/color] [color=6ecff6]scare[/color] [color=brown]you,[/color] [color=6ecff6]no[/color] [color=brown]evil[/color] [color=6ecff6]thing[/color] [color=brown]will"[/color][/i] At this point, a [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/9/9a/101-dalmatians-disneyscreencaps.com-1198.jpg]black shadow[/url] appeared at the window. [i][color=6ecff6]"To see her is to take a sudden... Chill!"[/color][/i] Dotty turned into a block of ice. [i][color=brown]"Cruella... Cruella...[/color][/i] Dotty was now dressed as Cruella, hanging upside down in the corner of the room as a spotlight flashed on her [i][color=6ecff6]"She's like a spider waiting for the... Kill!"[/color][/i] As she jumped at Taivas, but he was easily able to sidestep the hyperactive puppy. [i][color=brown]"Look out for, Cruella DeVille."[/color][/i] As the spectral Roger began to play the jazzy piano solo, Dotty had materialized a number of puppets and was re-enacting an abridged version of the Adventure of Pongo and Perdita that her great gruncle Freckles had told her, Horace and Jasper kidnapping the puppies, Cruella laughing maniacally, Pongo and Perdita running off to Hell Hall, biting Horace and Jasper on the butts, them running away with the puppies in tow, Cruella chasing them down in her car, Cruella colliding with Horace and Jasper's van and careening off the road. As the puppet show finished, Dotty suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, once again, dressed as Cruella, slowly strutting down them to the beat of the music [i][color=6ecff6]"At first you think Cruella is a devil![/color][/i] [i][color=brown]But after time has worn away the shock.[/color][/i] [i][color=brown]You[/color] [color=6ecff6]come[/color] [color=brown]to[/color] [color=6ecff6]realize,[/color] [color=brown]you've[/color] [color=6ecff6]seen[/color] [color=brown]her[/color] [color=6ecff6]kind[/color] [color=brown]of[/color] [color=6ecff6]eyes"[/color][/i] A pair of glowing red eyes appeared under a [url=https://listium-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto,c_fill,h_900,w_1200,q_auto,e_saturation:40/g7zoae7wddsni6gzbddr.jpg]framed photo[/url] in the corner. [i][color=6ecff6]Watching you from underneath a ROCK!"[/color][/i] Dotty managed to get the jump on Taivas by loudly blowing the trumpet right in his ear, but he didn't seem much phased by it. [i][color=brown]"This Vampire Bat"[/color][/i] Dotty hung from the ceiling by rope again, this time dressed in sunglasses and a black leather trenchcoat with large bat wings on her back [i][color=brown]"This inhuman beast"[/color][/i] Dotty then appeared dressed in a regal blue and gold outfit, hunched over. Before suddenly a cage came down over her. [i][color=brown]"She 'aughta be locked up and never released.[/color][/i] [i][color=6ecff6]"The[/color] [color=brown]world[/color] [color=6ecff6]was[/color] [color=brown]such[/color] [color=6ecff6]a[/color] [color=brown]wholesome[/color] [color=6ecff6]place[/color] [color=brown]until!"[/color][/i] [i][color=ed1c24]"Cruella"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Cruella"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"DeVille!"[/color][/i] Dotty finished. The spectral Roger got up from the piano, stretched his back, petted Pongo on the head and then faded into nothingness as Dotty faded back into human form. [color=ed1c24]"How in heavens did you do that?"[/color] Pongo asked the girl. [color=00aeef]"Yes and you were telling the truth about being like us."[/color] Dotty smiled and twisted her feet bashfully. [color=6ecff6]"The Wizard told me that Music is the most powerful magic in the universe."[/color] She smiled.[/hider] As Taivas asked for the payment, Pongo nodded, before walking over to the corner and began pushing a pink box with a bow tied around it towards Taivas. Freckles walked over, sniffed the box and barked at it. [color=ed1c24]"Indeed, i did promise a reward. I believe this would be fitting."[/color] He sat down. Dotty immediately attacked the box like... Well, the hyperactive child she was. Inside was 500 munny. [color=6ecff6]"THAT'S ENOUGH MUNNY FOR A BUNCH OF ICE-CREAM!!!"[/color] She yelled. [color=6ecff6]"OR 500 MUNNYCHEWS, WE COULD BUY THEM AND SEE IF WE CAN FIT ALL OF THEM IN OUR MOUTHS AT THE EXACT SAME TIME!!!"[/color]
