Dervish & Nash --- "Orange You Glad For Birthdays" ******* Author's Note *********** Since Dervish's and Nash's birthdays are one day apart, I decided to do a combined Birthday FF for them both. ********************************** Flying high above the Rocky Mountains is a U-4 Rover plane, an small, high altitude survalliance plane with room for two passengers. Piloting the plane is Dervish Vagabond, in the co-pilot compartment is Nash. They have been in the air now for a half hour and beginning to wonder about their present mission. DERVISH (wondering): Y'know Nash, I still don't know why we ended up on this mission? NASH (smiles): Because the Master picked us when he didn't get any other volunteers? DERVISH (giggles): No, that's not what I meant. All we've been doing is flying over the Rockies, there isn't anything happening there. NASH (nods): Yeah, you have a point there. DERVISH (sadly): And of all the days for a mission, on my birthday! NASH (surprised): Really? My birthday is tommorrow! DERVISH (smiles): No kiddin'? Well, happy birthday, Nash! NASH (smiles): Happy birthday to you, Derv! (glances at monitor): Wait a minute, I'm picking up something on our long range viewer! DERVISH (pushes buttons): Ok, now we can both see the image.... NASH (shocked): It's a forest fire! DERVISH (steers): It's coming from a position north east of here! Nash, go ahead and radio Mission Control while we see what we can do to help! Within a minute, the U-4 Rover plane is flying directly over the fire-riddled area. Both Dervish and Nash are puzzled by the fact that this blaze isn't sending up any smoke. They decide to land the plane in a clearing and take a closer look for themselves. Mounting special fireman gear that was stored in the back of the plane, Dervish and Nash slowly and cautiously approach the area of the blaze. DERVISH (looks at Nash): There's something funny going on here. Feel! This fire is not generating any heat! NASH (takes off a glove): You're right! But yet we can see the red glow ahead of us! DERVISH (nods): It's a good thing you called Mission Control. This situation is totally bizzare! NASH (nods): I've never seen anything like it! Dervish and Nash are now standing on top of a hill, they look and see a huge redish glow all around, but no fire. They each take out binoculars and peer into the region. NASH (shocked): HEY! It's all red, but nothing's burning! DERVISH (surprised): This is too X-File-ish for me! NASH (nods): I'm with you! Let's get outta here! As they both turn to leave, they hear a strangly familiar female voice calling to them from within the glowing region. FEMALE VOICE (echoing): DERVISH.... NASH ..... COME FORWARD..... I NEED YOU ...... DERVISH (shakes head); Nah! That's couldn't be.... but that sure sounds like .... DAWN! NASH (shocked): DAWN? DERVISH (growls): Whatever that thing is, it has Dawn trapped! I'm going in! NASH (nods): Me too! Dervish and Nash run as full stride to the bottom of the hill. Suddenly, the red glow disappears, revealing two huge picnic tables full of food and gifts. A huge banner tied from tree to tree reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERVISH & NASH" Many of the Rovers and friends are in the crowd, including Alethia, DJ, Callie, Grey, Azelin, Maui, Hunter, Exile, Blitz, Colleen, Shag, Muzz, Dylan, Star, Hope, Huntress and Cobber. One particular Road Rover rushes up to Dervish and gives him a big hug. DAWN (happy): Oh Dervie! You're here! We knew you and Nash would come! DERVISH (nods, grins): You had this planned all along, didn't you? DAWN (smiles): Of course we did! Did you think we'd forget your birthday? NASH (happy): Wow! Look at all this! (points): And look at the size of that cake! DERVISH (confused): But how did you make this area glow red like that! DAWN (points): You can thank them! Out from behind two trees stands Otto and Samantha Maddog. OTTO (nods): My image projector made this entire region appear to be on fire DERVISH (nods): Pretty convincing job! NASH (smiles): Thank you all for the greatest birthday party of my life! DERVISH (nods): I agree wholeheartedly, Nash! Everyone sings Happy Birthday as the party begins. The Master is onhand to shake Dervish's and Nash's hands. MASTER (smiles): Dervish, Nash, you are good, good dogs! All of the Rovers howl in unison.... -----------------------------------------------------------------------
