Jolt --- "Birthday Party 101" The morning sun is rising over the campus of Shepard University. Four human teenagers are running across the front lawn, they are Jolt, Jamboree, Roughhouse and Blaze, members of a Road Rover team in training. BLAZE (running): Tell me again why we in such a hurry JOLT (running): Dr Bates called me in my dorm room and said we were having a special seminar at seven o'clock this morning in her classroom. ROUGHHOUSE (running, look at watch): And it's now seven o'clock... BLAZE (running): Oh... so that's why you got us all out of bed, right Jolt? JOLT (thinking to himself): Some birthday THIS is turning out to be! (outloud): Yeah, that's right! ROUGHHOUSE (running): A seminar before breakfast, like Hunter would say,"I would not have predicted this!" JAMBOREE (running): Hey, don't give Dr Bates a hard time, she's very nice JOLT (running nods): That's right! She's an excellent instructor! ROUGHHOUSE (running): Ok, ok, you're right. The four teenagers rush into the classroom and take their seats, they notice that Laura Shepard and Domino, the dalmation cano-sapien that is the school's mascot, are already seated in the middle of the room. The others crowd around thie. JOLT (whispering): Domino, did we miss anything? Domino shakes his head 'no' and points to the front of the room. Dr Froobie Bates has just entered the room, carrying her briefcase in one hand and a large book in the other. DR BATES (smiling): Sorry I'm late, everyone. My alarm didn't go off this morning. She looks around the room and sees Roughhouse yawning, Jolt looking rather sleepy eyed, Blaze figiting in her chair and Jamboree's head nodding off. DR BATES (clears throat): At-HEM! This causes all of them to suddenly look up front at her. DR BATES (smiles): The reason I called this special seminar so early is that our guest lecturer has a very busy schedule and this is the only time he could give us. So, without any further delay, I give you that famous cano-sapien and animal physician, scientist, and very good personal friend of mine, Buford Lovejoy, better known to all of us in the Road Rover community as Uncle Buford! Everyone seated watches as a grey elderly human walking with a cane approaches the podium. JOLT (surprised): Hey! That's the guy who's running the Collie Squadron! ROUGHHOUSE (surprised): Him? That's old guy? BLAZE (turns to Roughhouse): Shhhhhhhhhhhh! LAURA (smiles, whispers): He's a brilliant man, Roughhouse, show a little respect, OK? UNCLE BUFORD (smiling): Good morning class! I was asked to speak with you this morning about the subject of using superpowers. As all of you may know, most of the present Road Rovers have received special powers through the transdogmafication process. Other members are, such as yourselves, mutants with special abilities. Still others, such as myself, use certain devices that mimic super powers.... As Uncle Buford continues his lecture, he notices that his 'class' is beginning to fall asleep on him. UNCLE BUFORD (continuing): For example, my cane may look like an ordinary walking cane, but it is actually a highly concentrated computerized defense system. (points cane up) It has a flame thrower... When Uncle Buford's cane emits a bright fire, this 'wakes' up all the students, and even causes Domino to wimper and hide under his desk. UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): I thought that'd get your attention! This ordinary looking cane also has an image project in it... BLAZE (interrupts): Image Projector? What's that? UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): It's a holographic projector.... observe! Uncle Buford presses another button, which make images of Parvo and Groomer instantly appear before them. This causes everyone but Laura and Domino to instinctively jump out of their chairs and stand ready to fight. They are all relieved when hte image suddenly disappears before their eyes. UNCLE BUFORD (laughs): Apparently my image projector really works well, doesn't it? (continues): My cane can also shoot tiny explosive missiles, but I won't demonstrate that right now. JOLT (raises hand): Uncle Buford, what do you think is the most important super power that one can have? UNCLE BUFORD (wide grin): I'm so very glad you asked that, Jolt! In my opinion, the two best abilities a Road Rover can possess is invisibility and teleportation. I will show you! (points): Roughhouse, how many people are in this room right now? ROUGHHOUSE (stands up and counts): Well, I count eight of us! UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): What if I told you that there was actually twenty people in this room? BLAZE (looks around): Where are they? JAMBOREE (looks around): Nay, couldn't be! JOLT (looks around): Are they out in the hallway? LAURA (smiles): I can sense their presence! UNCLE BUFORD (nods): Right you are, Laura! (shouts): Ok guys, show'm! Suddenly visible when they all turn off their invisibilty devices in their collars are the entire Collie Squadron, who are lined up in a circle surrounding all of the audience. There is Otto, Ben Maddog and all of his children (Samantha, Molly, Abby, Linda, Vicki, Roger and Misty) along with Kyra, Prairie Mason and Prairie Rose, all smiling. JOLT (shocked): WOW!! ROUGHHOUSE (smiles): Amazing! BLAZE (confused): Were they all standing there the entire time? UNCLE BUFORD (nods): They sure were, Blaze! Now, how would all of you like to see a demonstration of teleportation? Everyone begins to nod their heads and say 'YES'. UNCLE BUFORD (turns to Otto): Alright, Otto. Do it just as I explained to you before! OTTO (sternly): I have the settings you requested, Uncle Buford, initiating teleportation circuitry.... With a loud BOOM!!!! suddenly the entire class along with the Collie Squadron appears in the motor pool area of Road Rover Headquarters. To all of their complete surprise, most of the vehicles had been moved out of the way. replaced with several long tables lined with brightly wrapped presents. A huge banner hanging overhead reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOLT". Standing behind the second table with bright smiles on their faces are the Road Rovers, including Hunter, Blitz, Colleen, Shag, Exile, Muzzle, Alethia, DJ, Cobber, Dawn. Huntress, Hope, Dylan, Ace and many, many more! UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): Looks like the lecture's over! DR BATES (smiles): Happy Birthday, Jolt! Class dismissed! JOLT (in a state of shock): I just can't believe it! The Master walks down and shakes Jolt's hand and turns to Laura. MASTER (smiles): Well Laura, looks like our plan worked perfectly! LAURA (nods): Right dad, this was a surprise party, and boy does Jolt look surprised! Everyone sings happy birthday to Jolt as he blows out the candles on his huge cake. Music begins to play and the party begins. Abby and Blaze go off to the side and discuss 'flame' techniques. Ben takes this opportunity to introduce them all to his long lost daughter Misty. DR BATES (smiles, shakes hands): So you're Misty Maddog! I'm so happy to et you! MISTY (smiles): Thank you, ma'am! LAURA (walks over): Ben, will your daughter be taking classes at Shepard University? BEN (smiles); Well, maybe, it's up to her. Right now she just wants to get used to having a family again! MISTY (hugs Ben): I'm so glad we found each other again! BEN (smiling); Me too, Misty! As the party continues, Jolt looks all around and says to himself,"Sometimes it's not so bad to get up early in the morning!" HUNTER (shouting out): TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!!" All of the Rovers howl in unison --------------------------------------------------------------------
