Misty Maddog is a creation of Bart Walls. Amos Doggie & Hannah -- "Rupee's Magic Class" The scene is Collie Squadron Headquarters, located in a huge underground cavern beneath Ben Maddog's estate. Uncle Buford, Ben Maddog, Otto and Samantha Maddog are in the briefing room discussing a very pressing need. UNCLE BUFORD (sternly): As you three know, for the past month, I have been helping our new allies, the DixieCats, to develop their newly discovered magical abilities. I have tried my best, but I am very limited in how well I can train them since I have no magic powers to speak of. SAMANTHA (shocked): Oh NO! What can we do? OTTO (sternly): It would make sense to allow the DixieCats to train with someone who possesses these magical abilities that we lack. May I remind all of you that Amos Doggie has also discovered BEN (brightens): I've got it! I know the perfect person who can help us! SAMANTHA (happy): That's great dad! Who is it? BEN (smiles): She's a recent client of mine. A cano-sapien named Rupee! OTTO (sternly): Scanning.... yes... Rupee, she is a terrier who practices magic. She is also a Road Rover agent. The file says that she is the mother of Space Rover Cadet Shamansta. UNCLE BUFORD (nods): She sounds like the perfect instructor, but would she be willing to help us? BEN (smiles): There's only one way to find out. We'll pay her a visit at her place, I've only been there one other time. SAMANTHA (giggles): Dad, I see a twinkle in your eyes! Do you have a crush on her? BEN (dreamily): Well..... (embarrassed, shakes head): I mean, no, of course not! Rupee is a client of mine... UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): I see... (winks at Otto and Samantha) OTTO (concerned): Uncle Buford, is there a speck in your eye? You seem to be .... SAMANTHA (elbows Otto): No dear.... (whipsers): I'll explain later.. BEN (smiles, stands up): Well then, it's settled! UNCLE BUFORD (sadly): Well, not quite Ben. I've had some private discussions with the Master and Hunter about the DixieCats. I sense a certain reluctence on the part of many Road Rovers to work with cats. BEN (sadly): It's that cat - dog thing, right? UNCLE BUFORD (nods): Exactly Ben. SAMANTHA (sadly): Uncle Buford, sir, that's so unfair! Portos and the other DixieCats are very pleasant to be around! OTTO (sternly): I concur, Samantha! Once mastered, their magical abilities would be a great asset to the Road Rover cause. BEN (sadly): Many of the Rovers don't see it that way, Otto. I sure hope Rupee is not prejusticed against cats. UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): May I come with you, Ben? I'd like to meet miss Rupee myself! SAMANTHA (smiles): ME TOO!! OTTO (nods): It would be a very enriching experience to spend time with someone who practices magic. UNCLE BUFORD (stands up): Alright then. Otto, you bring Amos Doggie here, the rest of us will have a talk with the DixieCats! Samantha and Ben follow Uncle Buford out of the room. They walk down the hallway to the lounge area, where Portos, Felicia, Katrina, Patch and Thomas are relaxing. Portos is playing a video game with Misty Maddog while the other DixieCats are playing card. FELICIA (looks at her cards): Thomas, do you have any threes? THOMAS (smiles): No sis, go FISH! FELICIA (picks a card): I LOVE this game! PATCH (looks at cards): But it's making me hungry! KATRINA (nods): We haven't had anything to eat since those saucers of milk this morning! THOMAS (smiles); You have to admit, that Buford guy sure knows how to take care of us cats! KATRINA (nods): True! I just wish the Road Rovers would accept us as equals! After all, we're all fighting for justice and on the side of good.. PATCH (nods): I agree. Blitz keeps calling us 'furballs' and tries to chase us! FELICIA (laughs): Remember when he was chasing you, and we used magic to chain him to a wall? THOMAS (laughs): How could I forget? Blitz started screaming like a baby! PORTOS (shouts, holding joystick in his hand): Hey! Keep it down over there, I trying to ... MISTY (interrupts, happy): I win again, Portos! PORTOS (smiles): How did you get to be so good at this game? MISTY (smiles): I've had a lot of practice playing against my boyfriend! PORTOS (nods): I can see that! Shall we play again? MISTY (smiles): Sure! All eyes turn to the doorway when Uncle Buford, Ben and Samantha walk into the lounge. UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): Gather around, DixieCats, we have something to tell you. BEN (smiles): Uncle Buford has been training all fo you on how to use your magical powers, but now we feel that you all need further instruction from Rupee. She's a Road Rover agent who specializes in magic. PORTOS (nods): Sounds like a good idea to me, what do the rest of you think? FELICIA (smiles): Sounds purr-fect to me! PATCH (nods): Count me in! KATRINA (smiles): Wow! Sure! THOMAS (nods): We all can use more training! BEN (smiles): Great! As soon as we get Amos Doggie, we'll go to Rupee's place! MISTY (excited): Dad! Can I come too? Sounds like a lot of fun! BEN (doubtful): Hmmmmmm, I don't know... Amos Doggie and Otto walk into the lounge. AMOS (smiles): Amos be here! Me ready to go to school! MISTY (pleads): PLEASE Dad, let me go too! OTTO (sternly): Ben, Misty is slowly developing her mental powers. Perhaps Rupee can help her also. BEN (smiles): Good point, Otto. (turns to Misty): Ok, you can come with us! MISTY (happy): Thanks Dad! Misty hugs her father as Otto motions for everyone to gather around him, With a loud BOOM!!!!!! they are all now standing inside of a large, dimly lit cave-like room. The sounds of breaking glass can be heard in the distance, then the sounds of footsteps approaching. Misty gets scared and hugs her father, Samantha hugs Otto in fear as Rupee enters the room. RUPEE (angry): Who are you people? Why have you come to disturb ... (sees Ben) OH! Ben Maddog! I remember you! How's my favorite attorney? BEN (smiles): I'm just fine, please forgive the sudden intrusion.. RUPEE (smiles, puts her long staff down): Ben Maddog! I must admit you've changed. The last time I saw you, you were on four legs instead of two! BEN (smiles): I'm a Road Rover now, and I have come to ask ... RUPEE (interrupting, points): Who's the human? I don't particularly trust humans! UNCLE BUFORD (smiles, bows): My name is Buford Lovejoy, please forgive me, but I had to come and see the great Rupee for myself! You have legendary magical powers, it is a thrill for me just to be in your presence, ma'am! RUPEE (smiles): Well! This elderly human has manners! I like your style, Buford, you may stay! (turns to Ben) Now, what was that favor you needed, Benji? MISTY (giggles): Benji? SAMANTHA (shocked): Benji? AMOS (smiles): Dat be a cute name! Misty, Samantha and Amos frown when Ben stares at them, then turns and smiles at Rupee. BEN (smiling): Rupee, my daughter and my friends could really use some training in the fine art of magic, would you be willing to teach them? RUPEE (looks at Misty): I recognize Samantha but I don't remember you, miss... MISTY (nervous): Er.... my name is Misty! I only found out ... RUPEE (interrupts): You only found out recently that you were Ben's daughter! MISTY (shocked): But, how dod you know that? RUPEE (smiles): Mind reading! That's one of the things I'll teach you here. (turns to Portos): Don't worry, Portos, I have no ill will or natural aggression towards felines! PORTOS (smiles): Really? RUPEE (nods): That's right! (looks at the other DixieCats): YES! I can tell you five cats have very strong powers! It'll be a pleasure to help you learn how to use them! (points at Amos): But you, swamp dog, have the strongest powers of them all! (shocked): YOU crushed the Dora stone all by yourself? AMOS (nods): I doed it, ma'am! Amos know not dat it's power would be goin' inside of me! RUPEE (laughs): I could've told you that! The Dora was never meant to be found by anyone, but it's a good thing that you have it's powers now, pure hearted canine! AMOS (big grin): I thank ye, miss Rupee! RUPEE (turns to Ben): Benji, teaching these friends of yours how magic works won't be a burden, it'll be a great honor! Thank you! BEN (smiling): You're welcome! The rest of us will be leaving now.. RUPEE (nods): You are a good friend, Ben Maddog! Farewell! With that said, with a loud BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben, Samantha and Uncle Buford disappear. RUPEE (motions with her hand): Alright students! (giggles): Follow me! Excuse the mess, but it's not often I have guests... wait! I can fix that! Rupee waves her arms and instantly the entire room becomes spotlessly clean, every book sitting neatly on the shelves, seven 'student desks' magically appear in the middle of the room in front Amos, Misty and the astonished DixieCats. RUPEE (huge grin): Now students, take your seats, class is in session! AMOS (smiles): Dis be some magic you do right now! PORTOS (sits down): WOW!! MISTY (excited): This is going to be great! RUPEE (stands behind a wooden desk): Ok, class, you have just seen one of the basic procedures in magic, making objects appear out of thin air! But one of the funner things you can do with magic is to change objects, both living and non living matter. Time for a demonstration, and I know the perfect volunteer! Rupee points her staff to the right, and Blitz magically appears. He is holding a picture of Colleen and is kisses it saying dreamily "I LOVE YOU!". Suddenly, he looks all around and screams. BLITZ (shocked): HEY! Where am I? What's going on? (now sees Rupee): OH NO!!! PLEASE RUPEE, DON'T TURN ME INTO A TOAD AGAIN!! RUPEE (giggles): Now Blitz, would I do something like that to you? BLITZ (nods): Ya, you would! RUPEE (grins): You're RIGHT! She waves her arms and instantly Blitz becomes a toad seated on top of a long barstool. AMOS (claps): Dat be good trick, ma'am! PATCH (shocked): WHOA!!! FELICIA (laughs): Blitz looks so funny! MISTY (shakes head): He feels very frightened.... I can read his thoughts... RUPEE (smiles): Good Misty! You are starting to develop telekenetic powers! Focus, try harder to read beyond his thoughts and probe into his mind! MISTY (nods): OK! (closes eyes) Suddenly, the frog leaps from the barstool and on top of Misty's desk. MISTY (screams): EEEEEEEKKKKKKKK! RUPEE (laughs): Are you scared of frogs, Misty? MISTY (nods): This one I am! He's picturing how I would look in a bikini! THOMAS (angry): How disrespectful! AMOS (growls): Dat man is a pig! When Amos says that, the frog instantly transforms into a pig and falls from Misty's desktop. RUPEE (looks at Amos): Amos, you have to be careful! The powers that you absorbed from the Dora amulette are very strong. Be very careful about what you say, OK? AMOS (nods): Ok, Amos watch his mouth! Suddenly, a small mirror appears floating in front of Amos's face. AMOS (laughs): Now me gits it! Amos WATCH his mouth! The pig begins to run loose all around the classroom. Portos stands up and waves his arms, soon a wooden cage appears before the speedy pig, he runs inside of it and it's door closes by itself. RUPEE (nods): Nice job, Portos! You and your brothers and sisters seem to have the 'making objects appear' part down pat. But, can anyone in this class change Blitz back into himself? PATCH (sarcasticly): Does anyone in this class WANT to change him back to himself? Everyone in the class laughs as the pig begins to whine. MISTY (sadly): Oh dear! Blitz doesn't like this at all. He's very scared! RUPEE (nods): Good Misty, you're probing his mind! MISTY (shocked): You guys should see these fantasies he has with Colleen! (shakes head): This is too weird! KATRINA (stands up): I'll try to change him back! Katrina waves her arms, the pig has now transformed into a turkey. KATRINA (embarrassed): Oops.... I goofed! As the turkey gobbles loudly, Thomas stands up and waves his arms in the air. The turkey has now turned into Blitz, in canine form. THOMAS (upset): Shoot! I missed it too! RUPEE (shakes head): Wait Thomas, you're closer than you think! This is Blitz in his pure canine form! Blitz growls and barks in his cage, ramming the sides trying to get out. MISTY (scared): Oh dear! Blitz wants to chase all of the DixieCats! AMOS (angry): Dat be not very nice! He deserves a good spanking! RUPEE (shouts): AMOS! DON'T SAY IT! Too late, suddenly, Blitz is now in his cano-sapien form, floating in the air, bent over as a wooden paddle begins to spank his behind repeatedly. BLITZ (screaming): YEOW!!! Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!!! YEOW!!!! Mine poor tooshie! Rupee points her finger and makes the paddle disappear. RUPEE (looks at Amos): I told you to be careful, Amos! AMOS (sadly): Amos be sorry, me not know.... BLITZ (starts to walk backward): I want no more part in dis! Leave me alone! All of you are crazy! AMOS (angry): Blitz, you are a .... Misty jumps from her desk and holds Amos's mouth closed. MISTY (scared): Please Uncle Amos, don't say it! AMOS (nodding as Misty takes her hands down): Thank you, Princess! Amos puts both hands on his mouth, the entire class watches as Misty is now dressed like a fairy tale princess. MISTY (shocked): WOW!! (smiles): This is SO COOL!! RUPEE (sternly): Amos Doggie! AMOS (sadly): Sorry... BLITZ (points): Keep dat old mutt away from me! AMOS (furious): Clam up, Blitz! Once more, Amos puts his hands over his mouth as Blitz is now magically transformed into a giant clam. RUPEE (shocked): AMOS!!! (looks at the clam and grins): Well, I give you credit for originality! Rupee points at Amos and a huge, dusty old book appears on his desk. RUPEE (smiles): Amos, this is a book on magical powers and spells. Normally I wouldn't do this, but I need to teach you quickly how to control your powers fast. You're like a infant holding a magic wand. AMOS (opens book): Dis book have many words Amos not understand. RUPEE (nods): Hold still, I'm casting a spell on you. This spell will make you comprehend the words better and enable you to speed read the entire book! Rupee waves her arms at Amos, he begins to read. In seconds, he's flipped through the entire book and smiles. RUPEE (smiles): Ok, now let's test you out! What do you think of Blitz, Amos? AMOS (angry): He insulted me niece! He's such a monster! The DixieCats and Misty suddenly tremble in fear, but then smile when they see that Blitz hasn't changed his form. RUPEE (sigh of relief): Whew! My spell worked! She points at Blitz, he now appears in his normal, cano-sapien form once more. He falls to his knees and begs. BLITZ (pleading); Oh PLEASE Rupee! No more! Send me back to mission control.. PLEASE???? RUPEE (smiles): Ok, I think you've had enough for one day! Rupee waves her arm at Blitz and he instantly vanishes. RUPEE (smiles): Ok class, that's enough excitement for now! Let's take a short recess! Misty, Amos and the DixieCats stand up and stretch. Amos brings the book over to Rupee's desk and sets it down. AMOS (smiles): Rupee, I be tanking ye for makin' me smarter about dis magic stuff! Amos have gift for ye! Amos motions with his fingers, a shiny red apple appears in his other hand. AMOS (happy): Apple for duh teacher? RUPEE (takes the apple): Thank you, Amos, and you did that trick very well! AMOS (nods): Tank ye! Amos can't wait to show me woman what I learn! RUPEE (smiles): You love your wife very much, don't you? AMOS (happy): Amos sure do, I guarantee! RUPEE (sadly): I've never been married Amos. I keep hoping I'll find the right man someday. As Rupee turns away, Amos waves his arms and makes a picture of Ben Maddog appear in her hand. She smiles as she stares at it. MISTY (walks over to Amos): Uncle Amos, it looks like you made Rupee very happy! AMOS (nods): Amos not know much about readin' or magic, but Amos know a lot about love, yes? MISTY (smiles): Like Aunt Hannah always says, Amos Doggie, you never cease to amaze me! Misty hugs Amos as they watch Rupee walk further down the hallway -----------------------------------------------------------------------
