101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure (alphawolfbraver version)
Chapter 1: Thunderbolt
The scene opens on Regent’s Park as Pongo is heard narrating.
PONGO (Narration): Shortly before we moved, one of my sons, Patch, had been feeling very sorry for himself.
All the pups are running around except for Patch and Cadpig, who are sitting before the tv with the latter on top of the former’s head. Caramel and Perdita step up to them.
PERDITA: Sitting in front of the television again?
PATCH: Need to save our favorite spots, don’t we?
CARAMEL (Chuckling good-naturedly): That’s understandable. With our larger family, you do need to make your own space for things. (Cobalt walks by with a nervous look): Son? Is something the matter?
COBALT: It’s those scientists who examined me. They found DNA of canines found in fairytales. I felt scared enough about being a mixed breed, but, this just adds to it.
PERDITA: Oh, Cobalt, there’s no need to worry about that. No matter what scientists may say about you, one thing remains true.
COBALT: That being?
CARAMEL: You’ll always be our son.
She nuzzles Cobalt, who feels better and notices Patch and Cadpig together.
COBALT: Saving your favorite spots?
PATCH: We sure are. I wonder what episode is playing this time.
COBALT: Patch, the show doesn’t start until after–
NANNY DEBRA: Dinnertime!
As if on cue, Nanny Florence and Nanny Debra begin to pour dry kibble into the dogs’ dishes. The other pups’ ears perk up at the sound.
COBALT: Uh-oh… (the puppies practically stampede into the kitchen to get their share of kibble for dinner; in the rush, Cobalt’s glasses are knocked off and he struggles to find them): It was chaotic enough with sixteen puppies, now there’s 100 of us!
Penny catches sight of what had happened.
PENNY (Picks up the glasses): Looking for these?
Because she picked them up with her mouth, Cobalt can’t fully understand until she places them on his muzzle.
COBALT: Thank you, Penny.
He, Penny, Patch, and Cadpig head into the dining room. The other pups are all eating.
PATCH: I hope Rolly and Hungry don’t eat from my bowl again.
Patch walks over to his food bowl and finds Rolly on top of it while eating from another.
COBALT: Rolly!
Rolly, surprised by the sound, yelps and fumbles off of the food bowls.
CADPIG: You better hurry, Patch. Hungry and Pooh are near your bowl.
Patch hurried to his dish and ate from it.
HUNGRY: Oi!
POOH: What you think you’re doing?
COBALT: Eating his fair share.
NANNY DEBRA: Oh, Cobalt~.
She places a chicken sandwich down for him. Cobalt licks his jowls and makes a beeline for it while Cadpig jumps off Patch’s head.
CADPIG: I need to find my own bowl, big brother.
PATCH: That’s okay, go ahead.
Cadpig sees a spare bowl and is about to eat from it, but, Prince and Missis beat her to it.
CADPIG: Oh dear…
COBALT (Finishing his sandwich): Something wrong, Cadpig?
CADPIG: I can’t find any spare bowls, Cobalt.
Cobalt looks around, seeing if he can help Cadpig find one. He spots one.
COBALT: Get on my back, Cadpig.
Cadpig does so, despite a slight struggle. She then holds on as Cobalt makes a beeline for the bowl. Once they arrive, Cadpig carefully gets down.
CADPIG: Thank you, Cobalt.
She begins to eat from the bowl. Meanwhile, Patch sees the kibble bag and wonders if there’s some for Cadpig.
PATCH: Let’s see if there’s any extra for Cadpig. (he sticks his head into the bag, unaware of the last kibble bit falling out): There must be some in here.
Patch’s search ends up being fruitless. Rolly walks by and eats the last bit as the others leave the room. Cobalt and Cadpig see him in the bag.
COBALT: Patch, it’s nearly time for the show.
PATCH (Poking his head out of the bag): Thunderbolt?! Alright!
CADPIG: We have to hurry before our spot’s taken!
She scrambles onto Patch’s back and they rush to the living room, Cobalt following behind. When they reach the living room, they find Lucky had already taken their spot.
PATCH: Oh, no. Sorry, Cadpig.
COBALT: Tell you what. You two can share a spot with me next to Penny.
PATCH: Thanks, Cobalt.
PENNY: Cobalt, there you are. (she taps next to her): Come on, the show’s about to start.
Cobalt sits next to her.
COBALT: I hope you don’t mind Patch and Cadpig joining us.
PENNY: I don’t mind at all.
Patch sits next to Cobalt as the show begins.
SERIES ANNOUNCER: Get ready, kids, because the Adventures of Thunderbolt is about to begin! (a recap plays, showing a little American boy being snatched by a hand and pulled out the window): Last time, Little Wholesome Tommy was kidnapped by the Masked Bandit, who turned out to be Dirty Dawson. Will Thunderbolt be able to find him and bring him home?
COBALT: You know, this show’s formula has been getting a little repetitive.
PENNY: Yes, it does feel like a lot of the episodes I’ve seen before.
COBALT: Why does Dawson even kidnap Tommy so much? His parents can barely afford a security system. What makes him think they can pay him a ransom?
CADPIG: I think it’s just for the fact that he’s friends with Thunderbolt.
PATCH: That’s right. He captures Wholesome Tommy to bait a trap for Thunderbolt.
COBALT: Clearly, Dawson doesn’t know the definition of insanity. It’s doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
PATCH: Shh~ let’s keep watching the show.
Wholesome Tommy is tied to the smokestack of a moving 2-6-0 steam locomotive.
DIRTY DAWSON (Cackling wickedly): I know it’s mighty toasty, but, ya gotta be here so that our little friend, Thunderbolt, will join us! That flea-bitten, mangy mutt can’t save ya this time!
WHOLESOME TOMMY: Help! Somebody help me!
Thunderbolt is seen leaping to the top of a rock.
THUNDERBOLT: Bark, bark, gggrowf!
A little Pembroke Welsh Corgi runs up to Thunderbolt.
CADPIG: Hey, look! There’s Li’l Lightning!
The two Dalmatians named after the dog stars of the show bark excitedly.
DIRTY DAWSON: Well, look who we got here! (the dog heroes jump onto the train): Good luck saving both the kid and yourself, Thunder-Dolt!
PATCH: This is just like “Double Cross at Dead Man’s Ditch!” Only, that was a minecart, not a train.
On the tv show, Thunderbolt springs into action as Dirty Dawson pulls out a whip. Li’l Lightning tries to undo the ropes tying Wholesome Tommy to the smokestack.
COBALT: You know, Li’l Lightning is kind of overlooked.
CADPIG: As a small dog myself, I can understand that.
COBALT: I mean, in this episode alone, HE’S the one saving Tommy while Thunderbolt’s keeping Dawson busy.
LIGHTNING: Yeah. Maybe I’m biased, but, I do wish he got more recognition.
THUNDERBOLT: Actually, I’m with you, Lightning. Thunderbolt seems a bit cocky in these episodes.
PATCH: Look! Thunder’s going to grab the whip!
LUCKY: Patch! You’ll spoil it again!
Sure enough, Thunderbolt does indeed grab Dirty Dawson’s whip. He then runs around the villain, tangling him in his own whip. Some of the puppies cheer Thunderbolt’s heroism. Dirty Dawson falls into a boxcar containing a very angry bull.
DIRTY DAWSON: Uh-oh… (in a jumpcut, the bull is heard giving the villain a thrashing): This ain’t fair!
Thunderbolt runs up to a cliff, giving a triumphant bark. Patch tries to mimic it, but, it comes out as a squeak at the end. The other pups (minus Cadpig and Cobalt) burst out laughing.
PRINCESS: What was THAT supposed to be?!
ROLLY: That was the most pitiful bark I’ve ever heard!
B-DAWG: Sounds like someone sat on a squeak toy.
Patch, clearly embarrassed, slinks away. Cadpig follows him. Cobalt steps up.
COBALT: Alright, you lot! (throwing his scarf on the floor): This has gone far enough!
After seeing Cobalt throw his scarf on the floor, the other pups see that he means business and immediately stop laughing.
CADPIG: Come on, Patch, there’s still a bit more of the episode. Let’s go back to where Cobalt and Penny are.
As they do, Tommy is reunited with his parents.
WHOLESOME TOMMY: Thank you, Thunderbolt. You’re my hero. You’re one of a kind.
PATCH (Whispering to himself): “One of a kind…”
