Jeffy --- "Birthday in the Great White North" The scene is somewhere over Toronto, Canada. A Jet Rover flys above the international airport and lands. Departing from the plane are Hunter, Exile, Colleen and Jeffy (a greyhound in a green shirt with a backwards cap on). JEFFY (confused): Exile, tell me something, why are we here again? EXILE (smiles): Comrade Jeffy, we are here because of big Canada Day celebration! The Prime Minister asks for the Rovers to attendski! COLLEEN (smiles): That's right, Jeffy! We're Road Rovers embassadors today! JEFFY (sighs): Thrilling... Jeffy is thinking about all of his friends: Cricket, Dervish, Star, Spirit, Alethia, Buddy and Rango. He didn't dare say anything to Exile, but he's very sad that apparently, everyone (including the Master) forgot it was HIS birthday today. JEFFY (thinking to himself): Here I am in Canada, thousands of miles from home, and we're going to a party for CANADA? (sighs): Life isn't fair sometimes. Waiting for them at the airport terminal is Otto and Samantha Maddog, dressed in formal wear. HUNTER (smiles): Hey Otto, how's it waggin'? OTTO (looks down at his tail): That part of my anatomy is functioning within normal parameters, Hunter! HUNTER (rolls eyes): Er... yeah! How's it waggin' Sam? SAMANTHA (smiles): We're fine, Mr Hunter, sir. Everything is ready for the celebration! COLLEEN (nods): Good to hear! (motions to the others): Come along now, our shuttle bus is waiting! ALl of the Rovers enter the shuttlebus and are soon on their way downtown. Jeffy is looking out the window and wondering. JEFFY (thinking to himself); How could everyone forget my birthday like this? EXILE (taps Jeffy on shoulder): Comrade Jeffy, are you doki oki? JEFFY (slight smile): I'm fine Exile. Just daydreaming.. HUNTER (points): Here's our destination, the Grand Hotel! COLLEEN (looks up at it): Absolubloominlutely fantastic! EXILE (looks up at it): Da! Vee have notting like dis in Siberia! SAMANTHA (looks up at it): WOW! Now THIS is a world class hotel! OTTO (sternly); There are many interesting facts about this particular structure, such as ... Otto is interrupted when Samantha takes her hands and gently holds his mouth shut. SAMANTHA (whispers): Not now darling, OK? Otto nods and Samantha puts her hands back down to her side. Hunter smiles and Colleen giggles a bit when she sees them. Soon they are inside the hotel and walking towards the ballroom. It has a huge Canadien flag on the ceiling, and is decorated with many balloon, streamers and colored lights flashing. A huge crowd is on hand who seem to be 'mixing and mingling' among themselves. HUNTER (smiles): WHOA! Check it out! COLLEEN (elbows Jeffy): Isn't this grand, Jeffy? EXILE (smiles at Jeffy): All looks greatski, right? JEFFY (sadly): Yeah.... it is... SAMANTHA (smiles): Mr Jeffy, sir, one thing will make this better! JEFFY (confused): What would that be? OTTO (smiles): THIS!! Otto turns off his image projector, suddenly Jeffy's eyes grow big as saucers when he sees the 'transformation.' All of the banners really read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFY" and the 'crowd' that had been gathered turns out to be all of his Road Rover friends, including Alethia, DJ, Dervish, Cricket, Spirit, Star, Shag, Muzzle, Dylan, Rango, Buddy among them. Jeffy can hardly believe it. JEFFY (stunned): WOW!!! A surprise party? OTTO (sternly): Are you sufficently surprised? JEFFY (nods): YEAH! Star, Dervish and Cricket bring out the cake as all of the Rovers sing 'Happy Birthday' together. ALETHIA (smiles): We really had you going, didn't we? DJ (nods): I wish I had a camera to record the look on your face! DYLAN (laughs): Yeah, that was priceless! OTTO (interrupting): Actually, I have stored a video record of the entire day's events if anyone would .... Once more, Samantha politely holds Otto's mouth shut. SAMANTHA (whispers): Not now, dear, don't spoil the moment! OTTO (nods): Oh, sorry! SAMANTHA (shocked): OH! (smiles): I forgot, you can speak without using your mouth! The Master walks over and shakes Jeffy's hand. MASTER (smiles): Happy Birthday Jeffy, you're a good, good dog! All of the Rover howl together in unison. --------------------------------------------------------
