Okay, my part of this co-op screenshots fic is finished! Since the first chapter was posted by Belchic, the second chapter was posted by babclayman, and I was assigned to do the third chapter, I'm posting the third chapter right now. This chapter is going to begin where babclayman's chapter ended. Enjoy!***
Roger: *stops the car* You know what, Pongo? I give up. Driving away from this woman chasing us isn't going to either make her stop or chase someone else. Let's find out what she wants. *to Diana* Excuse me, ma'am. Who are you, and why are you chasing me and my dog?
Diana *in a mature woman's voice*: I'm so sorry, sir. My name is Dinah, and I'm looking for some dogs to take care of.
Roger *off screen*: Well, I already have a wife and a maid help me take care of our dogs.
Diana: So, it's not just that one? You have more dogs?
Roger: Of course, we do. We have a total of 101. Two of them are adults, and the other ninety-nine are puppies.
Diana: Wow! That's a lot of dogs! You need more help taking care of all those dogs!
Roger: But we don't need any extra help. We are able to take care of all of them without any help from anyone else.
Diana: But that's still a lot of dogs for just you, your wife, and your maid to take care of. And sooner or later, you'll need all the extra help you can get. Besides, I need some money to keep a business of mine going.
Roger: So, you're trying to earn money by taking care of other people's dogs?
Diana: Yes, sir, it's one of my jobs. You have to let me help you look after your dogs! Please?
Roger: *sighs* Oh, all right. Hop in.
Diana *off screen*: Thank you, sir. *gets in the car with Emma and Stealth* I never met anyone who is kind enough to give me a lift.
Roger: I do what I can. *starts the car and drives to the farm* So, Dinah, what is with this dog face you have there?
Diana: Well, it's all just a mask. Yeah, that's what it really is. It's just a mask.
Roger: A mask? It doesn't look like it's a mask.
Diana: But it really is. It may look like it's a real dog face, and it may even feel like it, too, but it isn't.
Roger: Well, why are you wearing a mask anyway?
Diana: I work at a movie studio. That's another one of my jobs. My make-up artist made me this mask for an upcoming movie I'm starring in. She's very clever when it comes to making masks for movies, and this mask really helps cover up my ugly face. I really do look hideous, and nobody wanted to look at my face, so I was asked by my make-up artist to always keep it on when I'm present with someone else.
Roger: Ooookay...
*ten minutes later*
Roger *off screen*: Well, here we are, Dinah! This is where we take care of our dogs. For a family with so many dogs, we really needed a home this big.
Diana *off screen*: Isn't this nice? I can't wait to see the rest of your dogs.
Roger: Of course, Dinah. You've already seen my dog, Pongo. My name is Roger, by the way. The next dog I want you to see is Perdita, who belongs to my wife, Anita.
Pongo: Perdita! Oh, my goodness, you're not going to believe this!
Perdita: Believe what, Pongo?
Pongo: There's a woman who has been chasing me and Pongo around while we were driving around! And thirty minutes after the chase, Roger just lets her in the car and brings her here!
Perdita: Roger brought home a
stranger?Pongo: He sure did! Roger didn't sound enthusiastic about bringing her here, but he did it anyway.
Perdita: Why would Roger bring a stranger here?
Pongo: That woman said she has a job to take care of other people's dogs.
Perdita: But we've all been taken care of just fine with Roger, Anita, and Nanny. They've done a very good job taking care of us without any help from a single stranger.
Pongo: I know, but she said that she needed some money to keep some kind of business going. She also said she works at a movie studio, and wears a dog mask, which looks more like a real face than just a mask.
Perdita: Why is she wearing a mask? She's not in a movie studio now, so why would she wear a mask when she's not working in the studio?
Pongo: She said that she has a really ugly face, and her make-up artist told her to always keep it on to keep her face covered up when she's with other people.
Roger *off screen*: Perdita, come here! I want you to meet Dinah! She's here to help us take care of you and the puppies for today!
Diana: Well, hello, Perdita! It's going to be very nice to look after you, Pongo, and your puppies for the day.
Perdita:
Grrr!!!Roger *off screen*: Now, now, Perdita, I want you to be nice to Dinah, and not to attack her. *to Diana* Well, Dinah, you've met the parents of the Dalmatian family. Now, to show you all the pups we have on the farm.
Diana: Um, yes...well, can't that wait until later?
Roger *off screen*: What for? Didn't you say that you can't wait to see the rest of the dogs?
Diana: Yes, but before I see them, I would like to take Pongo and Perdita out for a drive.
Roger: Really? Can you actually drive a car? I don't trust anyone else driving my car.
Diana: You can trust me, Roger. I have a license and a very distinguished driving record.
Roger: Well, I suppose so. Actually, I think it would be nice if you would just take Perdita with you, since I already took Pongo.
Diana: Oh, no, Roger. It's best if I take
both of them with me. It'll give me a chance to spend more time with Pongo
and Perdita together.
Roger: All right, then.
Perdita *off screen*: Pongo, something tells me that things are not gonna go right around here. I don't feel comfortable getting a ride from a stranger, especially if that ride is offered to us on Roger's car.
Roger: Pongo, Perdy, Dinah is going to take you two for a little ride in my car. That way, you will get to know her a lot better.
*Pongo and Perdita gasp*
Pongo: I can't believe Roger has actually approved of this!
Roger: All right, Dinah, they're all yours! Just make sure my car doesn't get damaged, Pongo and Perdita stay safe the entire time, and you're back in twenty minutes.
Diana *off screen*: Not to worry, Roger. You can count on me. Your car and your dogs will be perfectly fine, and we will all be right back here on time, safe and sound.
*five minutes later*
Diana: Let's stop right here at the library for a few minutes. Pongo, Perdita, there's something I have to share with you. To be honest, I'm not really a woman with a dog mask. I'm really an adult dog just like you two, and I want to have a private talk with you.
*Pongo and Perdita gasped*
Pongo and Perdita *in unison, shocked*:
What?***
