The opening credit sequence ends. The last clip to come into the hour glass is a new one of a pup sleeping. The camera zooms into this scene and the fic begins proper.
One of the dalmatian pups begins to awake. The dog turns over as the camera zooms around and reveals his identity, Doc. He awakes and stretches before looking around to find he is basically the one pup still in the loft. The others must have gotten up before him. "It's a late start but a start none the less," thought Doc to himself. He slide down the slide to the ground floor of the barn. Per usual, the TV was on with most of the pups watching a DVD of the film "An Inconvient Truth." A gentlemen in a nice suit was talking on the screen.
"The other reason is that, if we do the 'right' thing, then we're gonna create a lot of wealth, and we're gonna create a lot of jobs, because doing the right thing moves us forward." said the man on the TV.
Doc shrugged it off and made his way to a boxy metal thing in a corner of the barn. It roughly looked like a robot dog of about the pups' size. Lettering on its side clearly identified it as "K-4.5." On a control panel behind its head lay several switches and buttons. Doc casually pressed a few buttons and the little bot began to start up. The bar of plastic that roughly represented its ears glowed red as it came online.
"Good morning K-4.5. What time is it? I seem to be running a bit late," asked Doc.
"11 hours, 15 minutes a.m., Master," replied the robot.
"Oh my, that is late. What time did I go to bed last night?," asked Doc.
"Insufficent data Master, I powered down around 0-one hundred hours and you were still up. However, you had planned to stay up until 0-three hundred hours to watch a Sci-Fi Channel airing of the old Doctor Who," answered the bot.
"Ah yes, "City of Death" was on last night. Four parter, good one too," said Doc. "Well, looks like I missed breakfest though," he added.
"Affirmative," replied K-4.5
"That's alright, I can fend for myself until lunch. Now where does Rolly keep his secret stash," said Doc. He casually walked over to one of the many piles of heybales in the barn near the TV and reached into one before casually pulling out a white paper bag and removing a single green gummi-like candy. He quickly popped it in his mouth before reclosing the bag and placing it back in the haybale.
"Um, nothing like a nice jelly baby. I'd offer you one K-4.5 but you don't require food," said Doc.
"Affirmative Master, however my Valvoline 10-W30 could use a topping off," replied the robot.
"Perhaps you should go inform Patriot of that," said Doc. "See if he can take care of that and I'll catch up with you later," he added.
"Affirmative Master," said K-4.5 before driving off to find Patriot.
Doc watched the robot head out the door before looking back to the pups watching TV. On second thought, joining them to watch a movie seemed like a good way to kill time until lunch. Doc casually walked over to the rest of the pups, taking a seat between Noggin and Star.
Meanwhile a now fimilar border collie was making his way up the road toward Dearly Farm. Epsilon was still nose to the pavement, now in front of the Villa DeVil property, when he looked up and looked to the left, noticing the farm for the first time. The spotted yellow bus sat clearly visible in the driveway.
"So this is the place with more than 100 dogs huh. This is perfect." Epsilon decided to shortcut a bend in the road and make his way directly toward the barn, leaving the road and sneaking under a fence.
"Who are you?," asked an unknown but female voice.
The collie quickly turned around to find a female red fox looking at him.
''Huh? You talking to me," replied Epsilon.
"Well I don't see anyone else around here. I heard you say that you're looking for the farm with all the dogs," said the fox.
"Ah, well...yes. Yes I am. I'm a stray and figured I could just crash there for a few days and hide in the background," said Epsilon.
"Well that's unlikely, almost all the dogs they have are dalmatians," said the fox.
"Oh," said the collie. He thought to himself "This fox is on to me, I'll return later when she's not around." Roxy intrupted his train of thought.
"I wouldn't worry about it, the Dearlys are always taking in strays. They love dogs, I'm sure they can find room for you," said the fox. "Come on, I'll show you over to the food trough. My name's Roxy by the way," she added.
"Pleasure to meet you Roxy. I am Epsilon"
"That's an unusual name, you Greek like Nicos?," asked Roxy.
"No, but you could say I'm from out of town," replied Epsilon with a smug look on his face as he followed Roxy toward the farm. This was going to be easier than he thought...
