Finally, here's what you've all been waiting for after almost a month. It's the first part of the game show fanfic Wonderdog Challenge, a game show I made up myself with Patch as the host. It's going to be done in descriptive form, as I mentioned before. And I don't care if the UK has a law that says that contestants under 18 years of age are not allowed to win any money on game shows; I think that's a stupid law. In this episode, Lucky and Tripod will be competing for the right to be called a 'one-of-a-kind wonderdog' and the top cash prize of £5,000. Enjoy the show! ;D
***
In a country western scene, Thunderbolt is about to fight his nemesis, Dirty Dawson. The wind softly blew past between the two, and a tumbleweed went past behind Thunderbolt. The two characters gave each other tough glares.
"It's time to settle this once and for all, doggy!" Dirty Dawson snarled, and he grabbed his whip from behind his back.
Thunderbolt growled at Dirty Dawson through gritted teeth. As Dirty Dawson spins the whip over his head, Thunderbolt charged at him, only to be stopped by the whip wrapping him up tightly. Once Thunderbolt was completely wrapped up, he fell to the ground and struggled with the whip to break free, but without success. Dirty Dawson stepped closer to the captured Thunderbolt, leaned over him, and laughed sinisterly.
"There's no way you can win this battle, you weak hound," Dirty Dawson said to Thunderbolt, who barked, growled, and tried to bite him.
Dirty Dawson got out a long piece of rope and tightly tied Thunderbolt's muzzle shut with it.
"That oughtta keep you from biting me off into pieces!" said Dirty Dawson, and he lifted Thunderbolt from the ground and carried him out of the scene. "Now, to hide you where no one can find you!"
After laughing evilly and taking off with the captured Thunderbolt, the scene was turned off like a television. As it turns out, the entire scene was shown on a giant screen on the audience's left side of the set for the game show Wonderdog Challenge, and it was turned off by a remote, which was in the hands of Lightning.
"Looks like that smelly, no good Dirty Dawson has once again dognapped our beloved hero, Thunderbolt!" Lightning said to the audience. "He may have won the battle, but he will not win the war!"
The audience began to cheer as the show's theme music, which is actually the main theme from the Nickelodeon game show Think Fast!, began playing. In the center of the set, the contestants of the show, Lucky and Tripod, are seen at their red and blue podiums respectively.
"Today, these two contestants will battle it out to determine who will rescue Thunderbolt and catch Dirty Dawson!" said Lightning. "It's all about to happen right now on..."
The logo for Wonderdog Challenge appeared by a struck of lightning à la Bullseye.
"...Wonderdog Challenge, the game where the more common sense you have, the better chances you get to becoming a one-of-a-kind wonderdog! And now, here's Mister One-of-a-kind wonderdog himself, the host of Wonderdog Challenge, Patch Radcliff!"
Patch came through the gym doors at the back of the set on the audience's right with a cordless microphone in hand, and ran to his podium as the audience cheered louder.
"Hello, everybody, and welcome to Wonderdog Challenge!" Patch said with excitement in the tone of his voice as the audience stopped cheering and the theme music faded. "Our hero, Thunderbolt, has been captured by that nasty Dirty Dawson once again. Today, we have two players ready to compete to see who will rescue Thunderbolt and capture Dirty Dawson, and earn the cash prize of £5,000 and, most importantly, the right to be called 'one-of-a-kind wonderdog'!"
The audience cheered wildly.
"But you know," said Patch, calming down from his excitement, "we can't do this show without our two beautiful assistants. So, will you please welcome them? Here they come, Amber and Priscilla!"
Amber and Priscilla ran to the center of the set to join Lucky and Tripod respectively.
"Hello, ladies!" Patch said to Amber and Priscilla. "You two are looking cute today!"
"Oh, thank you, sweetie," said Amber, giggling.
"You're looking really cute today, too, Patch," said Priscilla, fluttering her eyelashes at Patch.
"Aw, shucks!" said Patch, blushing pink as he turned his head away bashfully. "Thank you very much!"
"And you know what?" asked Amber. "We also have two very handsome boys about to play today's game!"
"Yes, we do. They're two of my brothers. Amber, introduce the studio audience and the home audience to the player in the red position, please."
"He's a Dalmatian pup with a horseshoe spot pattern on his back, and he likes to play rock music with his friends. Everybody give a big welcome to Lucky Dearly!"
The audience let out wild cheers again.
"Hey, Lucky," said Patch. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing good, Patch!" said Lucky, feeling pumped up for the game.
"Excellent! Now, you like to play rock music with your friends?"
"Yes. I play rock music with Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot."
"And did you all form a rock band?"
"Yes, we did. Our band is called 101 RPM."
"And what instrument do you play in your band?"
"I play the electric guitar."
"The electric guitar. Cool. So, do you guys have an album out yet?"
"No, we just started. We're now practicing on how to play some rock songs we know to work on our sound before we can even think about making an album of our own."
"Okay, well, good luck on your band, and good luck here on Wonderdog Challenge."
"Thank you."
Patch now faces Priscilla.
"Okay, Priscilla," said Patch. "Introduce everyone to the player in the blue position, please."
"He's a Dalmatian pup with one arm," said Priscilla, "and he likes to run on track. Let's all welcome Tripod Dearly!"
The audience cheered yet again.
"Hello, Tripod," said Patch. "Welcome to the game. How are you?"
"I'm doing good," said Tripod. "And you?"
"I'm doing very well, thanks. So, you like to run on track?"
"Yes. I'm top track runner in gym class at school."
"And you want to become a famous track runner, is that right?"
"That is correct."
"You're in pretty good shape. Are you really fast?"
"Definitely."
"You should be, because this is a game where speed is really important. Good luck to you today."
"Thank you."
Patch now faces the audience.
"Let's give our contestants a round of applause," Patch said to the audience.
The audience applauded. Patch then faces his contestants to explain the rules of the game.
"Now, a moment ago, Lightning has informed us that Thunderbolt is once again dognapped by his nemesis, Dirty Dawson," Patch said to Lucky and Tripod. "You two are going to compete against each other for a shot at the right to be called 'one-of-a-kind wonderdog'. The first round of the game is the Physical Challenges round, where you'll be competing in three challenges that are built to test your physical ability and mental agility. The second round is the Categories round, where you'll be giving words that fit into given categories. Finally, the third round is called "Operation: Rescue Thunderbolt", where you'll be racing to answer a required amount of questions, depending on your scores, to rescue Thunderbolt. The first player to rescue Thunderbolt wins the game and £500, and will move on to the Final Showdown to try and catch Dirty Dawson for the top cash prize of £5,000 and the right to be called 'one-of-a-kind wonderdog'!"
The audience let out an even larger cheer.
"Looks like we're all ready to go!" said Patch after picking up his microphone from his podium. "It's time for our first physical challenge of the day. But first, I have to remind everyone that because one of our players has only one arm, we created and tested all of today's physical challenges before the show to make sure they can all be done with just one arm. All of today's physical challenges were approved after they've been tested, and now we can have a fair gameplay between today's players. Now, let's go! Lucky, Tripod, follow me!"
As the audience cheered again, Lucky and Tripod followed Patch to the left side of the set for the first physical challenge of the day. The first physical challenge is evenly split in two sides, each side having a bucket filled with stuffed animals at the back and another one filled with green slime at the front. On each side of the challenge is also a long table next to the front bucket; the table on the red side sits on the audience's left of its bucket, while the table on the blue side sits on the audience's right of its bucket.
Patch stood between the two sides of the day's first physical challenge, with his contestants and assistants running into position in his wake.
"Lucky, over here!" said Patch, pointing at the red side of the challenge, and he did the same at the blue side. "Tripod, over here!"
Lucky and Tripod positioned themselves at their respective sides of the challenge, while Amber and Priscilla each came over with a pair of goggles in hand.
"This challenge is called 'All Creatures On Earth Are Slimy'," Patch said to the audience as Amber and Priscilla helped Lucky and Tripod get their goggles on. "Amber and Priscilla are putting those goggles on Lucky and Tripod right now, because this challenge involves getting slime in their faces, and we don't want them to get any of that slime in their eyes."
Once Lucky and Tripod had their goggles on properly, Patch began to explain to them the rules of the challenge.
"Okay, guys," Patch said to Lucky and Tripod, "here's what you gotta do. You gotta take one of those stuffed animals from your respective buckets..."
He pointed at both buckets filled with stuffed animals at the back of the challenge.
"...but the way you gotta pick them up is with your teeth."
Patch then shows Lucky and Tripod to the buckets filled with green slime.
"Over here, you each have another bucket filled with slime," said Patch, and he pretends to scoop a handful of slime from Lucky's front bucket. "Yum, is this edible? Mmm."
Patch faces the audience, quickly turning a bit more serious as he does so, since he thought that they are getting the idea of seeing him actually eating the slime.
"I'm not gonna try it," Patch said sternly to the audience, and he quickly lets go of his seriousness to go back to explaining the challenge to Lucky and Tripod. "You guys have to take one of your stuffed animals over here and dunk it in your bucket of slime. Once you got that stuffed animal covered in slime, put it right over here on the table."
Patch pats the long table on the red side of the challenge with the palm of his left hand.
"Whoever has the most slimed stuffed animals on their table at the end of one minute wins ten points," said Patch, and he moved out of the challenge in order for it to begin. "Now, I don't want to get slimed, so I'm just gonna stand right here and stay out of the way. Now, you guys get into position. Stand behind that white line."
Lucky and Tripod stood behind the white line, which is three feet away from the buckets in the front and twelve feet away from the buckets in the back, and faced their buckets of stuffed animals. The clock is set at one minute.
"We got one minute on the clock," said Patch. "On your mark, get set, go!"
Lucky and Tripod raced to their buckets of stuffed animals. The first stuffed animal that Lucky picked up with his teeth is a dolphin, while the first one that Tripod picked up is a gorilla.
"They got their first stuffed animals!" said Patch as Lucky and Tripod took their stuffed animals to their buckets of slime. "And there they go to the buckets of slime!"
Lucky and Tripod dunked their stuffed animals into their buckets of slime, also getting their faces covered in slime in the process, and placed them on their tables. They went back to their buckets of stuffed animals to do it all over again with one more stuffed animal each.
"Both players got their first stuffed animal covered in slime and placed on the table!" said Patch as Lucky and Tripod took their next stuffed animals to their buckets of slime. "Now, they're working on their second one!"
Lucky and Tripod continued taking their stuffed animals, dipping them into their buckets of slime, and putting them on their tables; the audience cheered the two contestants on throughout the challenge to give them some encouragement.
"We are hearing encouragement from our audience!" said Patch, and he started laughing when he saw Lucky, who is now carrying a stuffed pig in his teeth, dunk his entire head in his bucket of slime. "Oh, my goodness! Man, what a dunk!"
With twenty seconds left on the clock, Lucky and Tripod began to pick up the pace. But when Lucky tried to go as fast as he can to get another stuffed animal, he slipped on the slime, which was dripping all over the floor from his face; this caused Patch to start laughing again.
"Looks like that slip is gonna cost Lucky some time!" said Patch, trying to control his laughter. "We got ten seconds left!"
At this point of the challenge, the audience started to count down. The last stuffed animals Lucky and Tripod got slimed and placed on their tables are a duck and a rhino respectively. After a few seconds of placing their last slimed stuffed animals on their tables, a long buzzer sounded to signal that time is up.
"Time's up!" Patch shouted as he ran back to the center of the challenge. "Time's up, you guys! Come on over!"
Patch lets out a huge laugh as Lucky and Tripod came over to the front with him.
"Look at you guys!" said Patch, still laughing as Amber and Priscilla helped Lucky and Tripod remove their goggles. "You're a mess! You're both covered in slime!"
Calming down from his laughter, Patch faced Amber and Priscilla.
"I think these guys need some towels!" Patch said to Amber and Priscilla. "They're a big mess!"
Amber and Priscilla each picked up a towel from off-stage and dried Lucky and Tripod off.
"Okay, guys," Patch said to Lucky and Tripod. "Now that your faces are dried up, let's go ahead and see how you did."
Lucky and Tripod followed Patch to Lucky's table to find out how many slimed stuffed animals are sitting on it.
"Lucky, let's see how many slimed stuffed animals you got over here," said Patch, and he starts counting the stuffed animals on Lucky's table. "One, two, three, four, five, six! You have six stuffed animals covered in slime and sitting on your table. Now, let's go over to Tripod's table and see how he did."
Lucky and Tripod now went with Patch to Tripod's table to find out how many slimed stuffed animals are sitting on it.
"Okay, Tripod, let's find out if you've got more than six on your table to win this challenge," said Patch, and he starts counting the stuffed animals on Tripod's table. "One, two, three, four, five..."
To Patch's surprise, the sixth and last stuffed animal remaining on the table caused the challenge to end in a tie. That stuffed animal was a gorilla, which was the first one that Tripod dipped in his bucket of slime.
"...I don't believe this--six! At the end of our first physical challenge of the day, we have a tie game!"
The audience cheered wildly after Patch had given the results of the first physical challenge.
"Come here, you guys," said Patch, and he swings an arm around each of the contestants' necks. "I really wanted to remember this moment right here, because of what Lucky did during the challenge. While dunking one of his stuffed animals in his bucket of slime, he dunked his whole head in there! I think we should take a look at that again. Let's turn around and face the screen over there."
Everyone in the studio faced the screen that showed a scene of Thunderbolt getting caught by Dirty Dawson at the start of the show. The screen is now showing an instant replay of Lucky dunking his entire head in his bucket of slime while carrying a stuffed pig in his teeth. The audience cheered and applauded when the instant replay finished playing.
"Well, sounds like the audience liked that a lot!" said Patch, unhooking his arms from Lucky and Tripod as he held up the slimed stuffed gorilla in his left hand. "My messy little friend here liked that a lot, too!"
Patch held the stuffed gorilla very close to the camera and pointed his right index finger at which part of that stuffed animal is mostly covered in slime.
"Mmm! Want a bite?" said Patch, imitating Cookie Monster to make it sound as if it was coming from the stuffed gorilla.
Patch tosses the slimed stuffed gorilla over his shoulder.
"The scores at the end of our first physical challenge," said Patch, now speaking in his own voice again, "are Lucky with ten points, and Tripod with ten points. Right now, we have a tie game!"
The audience cheered and applauded.
"What an excellent way to start today's show, you two!" said Patch, wrapping his arms around Lucky and Tripod again. "A tie game after our first physical challenge! Now, you know what we have to do to break the tie, right?"
"Right," said Lucky.
"And what is it that we have to do?"
"Play another physical challenge," said Tripod.
"That's right. And whoever wins that challenge will take a big lead in our game, because the points are doubled. Let's go."
As the audience cheered and applauded again, Lucky and Tripod followed Patch to the right side of the set to play the second physical challenge of the day.

Calming down from his laughter, Patch faced Amber and Priscilla.
"I think these guys need some towels!" Patch said to Amber and Priscilla. "They're a big mess!"
Amber and Priscilla each picked up a towel from off-stage and dried Lucky and Tripod off.

To Patch's surprise, the sixth and last stuffed animal remaining on the table caused the challenge to end in a tie. That stuffed animal was a gorilla, which was the first one that Tripod dipped in his bucket of slime.
