well tonight is the big night for the Secret Santas. And I'll go first with my Secret Santa for
Trey_Vore ^^ Hope you enjoy it, had to do some brainstorming to get the idea to work but here it goes ^^
It was Christmas eve as three dalmatian puppies and a chicken with spots on her feathers were headed towards the busy mall in Stiffle, they were on a mission to find a Christmas present for their vixen friend Roxy. “okay, we need to find something Roxy would like, any ideas?” Lucky asked the group.
“Maybe something that plays into her interests?” Cadpig suggested.
“I dunno about you guys, but I can smell the food from the food court. Let;s look over there.” Rolly suggested.
“Somehow Rolly, I don't think Roxy would want food for Christmas.” Spot spoke up.
“Yeah, Spot's right Rolly. Let's search for a good Christmas present for Roxy.” Lucky told his siblings and Spot. They soon began to search the mall, peeking into various stores to see what they had. They first started looking around a few clothing stores but only to realize this stuff was way to big for Roxy. “I highly doubt we'll find anything here for Roxy.” Cadpig said.
“Yeah, these clothes are way to big for her.” Lucky agreed, the group next found a music store and began to look around. “Maybe she'd like 80s music?” Lucky suggested.
“Well she likes anything 80s.” Spot spoke up.
“True.” Lucky said as he and the other dalmatians and Spot began to look for any music Roxy would like, but as they did, they noticed mall security in the area, the pups and Spot realized there was a no dogs allowed rule in the mall. “Uh oh, we got company guys!” Lucky told Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot.
“I wonder what they are looking for?” Cadpig asked.
“Oh man, I forgot the mall has a strict no dogs allowed policy!” Lucky said.
“Then we gotta get out of here!” Rolly barked.
“I wonder if I'm an exception to the rule?” Spot wondered, would she be able to bypass that rule since she was a chicken after all. The group quickly ran out of the store and into the large crowd of last minute gift buyers. They also realized they needed to find a good gift for Roxy too.
The pups and Spot soon ducked into a toy store and looked around to see if anything would be good for Roxy. The pups and Spot searched the isles, seeing lots of toys, action figures, dolls, even plushes. Lucky stopped and noticed a plush of Thunderbolt on a shelf. “Whoa, neat!” he barked as his tail wagged.
“Um Lucky, weren't we supposed to get something for Roxy? And don't you have a plush Thunderbolt?” Cadpig asked.
“Yeah, but this one is bigger!” Lucky responded.
“Lucky.” Cadpig gave her brother a stern look.
“Oh, right. Yeah let's find a gift for Roxy.” Lucky said, he and Cadpig went to locate Rolly and Spot. They eventually met up at the entrance to the toy store.
“Did you guys find anything?” Spot asked
“Not yet I'm afraid.” Cadpig replied. “Well Lucky did find something, well for himself at least.” she told Rolly and Spot.
“Yeah but we gotta find something for Roxy. Besides I could get that plush later.” Lucky told his siblings and Spot, they realized their options were getting limited. “I know!” Lucky came up with an idea. “Let's check the video game store and see what they have.” he said as he, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot headed toward the video game store.
Once at the video game store, they searched the isles, seeing various games on various consoles and PCs. “Heh, didn't think Roger would make a sequel to the Cruellanator.” Lucky showed Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot a video game cover that read “Cruellanator 2: The refashioning”.
“Man, Roger is good at these sorts of things.” Rolly spoke up.
“You don't think Cruella knows about that game?” Cadpig asked.
“If she did, she'd be screaming her head off at Roger, luckily she hasn't seen it yet.” Lucky answered as they continued to search for a good gift to Roxy, that was till they saw mall security looking for them. “Run!” Lucky barked as he and his siblings and Spot ran out of the video game store, the mall security sees them and gives chase, the pups and Spot looked for a place to duck into, they eventually ducked into an Arcade, inside the pups could hear the loud noises of the arcade games being played as well as the sounds of the pinball machines, skeeball tables, coin pushing machines, and small rides for smaller kids. “Whoa, neat!” Lucky's tail wagged.
“I don't think we'll find a present for Roxy in here Lucky.” Cadpig told Lucky.
“True, say while we are here we can see if they have that new Thunderbolt arcade game.” Lucky said before he went ahead into the arcade, Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot all followed him. Up ahead, Lucky noticed a few arcade game cabinets with lots of teenagers and older kids gathered around them. “Whoa, must be one of those hot fighting games I've heard of.” Lucky said as he watched the crowd. He turned in time to see Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot arrive.
“Lucky, we gotta get out of here. Those mall guys might be looking for us!” Spot told Lucky.
“This would be the last place they'd look to find us. So don't worry about it Spot.” Lucky told Spot.
“Yeah? Well what do you call them?” Spot pointed behind the pups. The three dalmatians turned around to see the mall security guards coming after them.
“I stand corrected. Run!” Lucky yelped as he, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot ran out of the arcade with the mall security chasing after them.
“
We gotta lose them somehow!” Rolly told Lucky.
“But where could we lose them at?” Lucky asked as he looked around, the pups and Spot noticed a pet store and ducked inside, the pups looked around as did Spot as they went through the pet store. They passed by a pen full of puppies that were up for adoption, one puppy a blue heeler barked at the pups as they ran on by. The pups heard the bark and saw the pen full of puppies.
“Hey, did you escape the pen?” the heeler pup asked.
“Nope, we came from a farm in the country side, we just came in here to find our friend a Christmas present.” Lucky explained to the heeler pup.
“Oh. Well don't get caught by mall security then.” the heeler responded. The pups and Spot nodded and headed off.
“So what do we do now Lucky?” Cadpig asked.
“Yeah, I don't think I could run anymore, especially on an empty stomach.” Rolly added in.
“There has to be a back exit we can get to.” Lucky looked around before spotting one “That way!” he pointed, the pups and Spot ran toward the back, passing through the dog toys and other stuff. “Darn, love to have a look but we haven't got the time.” Lucky rushed past the dog toys and other stuff, the pups and Spot soon ran out the back entrance to the pet shop and the mall, the puppies and Spot kept going till they were far out of sight from the mall and even Stiffle as they headed back up the road towards the farm. “Well guys, we blew it.” Lucky said, sounding defeated.
“Well, as a consolation we did have a good time at the mall. Even if those jerks were chasing us and trying to discriminate against us dogs.” Cadpig said with a growl.
“All I know is I wanna settle down with some kibble. You don't know how hungry I am right now guys.” Rolly said as he looked exhausted.
“Well, we better get home and give Roxy the bad news.” Spot said.
“Yeah.” Lucky said in a glum sounding voice as he, Cadpig, Rolly, and Spot headed back toward the farm.
Soon the pups and Spot arrived on the farm as they headed toward the barn. As they got there they saw Roxy headed toward the farmhouse along with Two-Tone. The two were having a discussion when they saw Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot all looking exhausted.
“Hey, where did you guys go?” Two-Tone asked.
“Hey Two-Tone, well we went to the mall in Stiffle to find a present for Roxy for Christmas, but we blew it.” Lucky told Two-Tone.
“Wait, you guys went there to find a present for me?” Roxy asked in surprise.
“Yeah but we found nothing, that and mall security kept trying to catch us to kick us out too.” Cadpig added in.
“Wait, for what?” Two-Tone asked her siblings.
“We didn't know they had a no dogs allowed rule at the mall.” Rolly replied.
“I still wonder if I could be in there, after all there is no sign there that reads no chickens allowed.” Spot added in.
“Guys.” Roxy looks at Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot.”You didn't have to go through all that for me.” she told the four of them.
“Huh? But why?” Lucky asked.
“Well, I value my friendships with all of you guys.” Roxy responded. “And that is something that's worth more than any present for Christmas.” Roxy told her friends.
“Speaking of that, let's get our butts inside the farmhouse before we get cold from the snow outside.” Two-Tone said as she went inside the farmhouse.
“Wow Roxy, that meant a lot.” Lucky said to Roxy, as he, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot headed into the farmhouse, Roxy following behind them.
That night as the snow fell on and around the farm, the dalmatians celebrated Christmas with their friend Roxy. A great time for all of them as they enjoyed the Christmas holiday.
