As he yawns and stretches, he notices a strange looking envelope on his nightstand which has his name one it. PATRICK (happy): What's this? I'll bet it's a birthday card! Today is my birthday after all! He quickly opens it, and is shocked at what he discovers. PATRICK (surprised): A Reunion? (reads allowed): Parick, you are invited to the first annual Road Rover Academy Class Reunion to be held at .... (shocked) HEY!! THAT'S TODAY!! I better get ready! As Patirck begins to rush around looking for something appropriate to wear to a reunion, a knock is heard at his door. He opens it and finds his friends Kemai (Alaskan Malamute). Cody (yellow lab retriever) and and Nikki (GSD/Collie Mix) standing there, all three ladies are holding similar looking envelopes in their hands. PATRICK (smiles, nods): I see you ladies got the same invitations I got! NIKKI (nods): Yes, but this doesn't make much sense CODY (nods): I agree! Why would someone wait till the last moment to invite us to a reunion? KENAI (smiles): It couldn't be a prank, my invitation is signed by Warrior, head of the Academy! PATRICK (looks at his invitation): So is mine! I wonder who ... At that moment, the sounds of screaming and yelling is heard down the hallway. Patirck, Kenai, Cody and Nikki rush towards the noise to find three dingos have tackled someone in the hallway. The three dingos are Clark, Tom and Jerry. Soon they are joined by Alaska (Alaskan Malamute), Buddy (St. Bernard), Bruce (Alpha) and Deaf Dog (Husky/Lab mix). CLARK (shouting): WE GOT HIM! TOM (shouting): YEAH!!! JERRY (shouting): STOP STRUGGLING, GIVE IT UP! PATRICK (confused): What's going on here? ALASKA (points): We got this mutt sneaking around our quarters! BRUCE (nods): That's right, but he ain't sneaking no more! BUDDY (sternly): We'll turn him in to the Master! PATRICK (calmly): Ok, hold it right there. Clark, Tom, Jerry, let him up. The three dingos comply and soon the dark furred beagle mix cano sapien they have captured is standing up. He is wearing a black leather jacket and torn jeans and has a few envelopes stuck in his jacket pocket. PATRICK (sternly): Ok mister! Who are you and what are you doing here! DAYTON (angry): Geez.. talk about killing the messager! (calmer): My name is Dayton, and I was told to sneak these invitations into all of your quarters before you woke up! (hands Patrick the envelopes): See? Here's the ones I have left to deliver! PATRICK (looks at them, reads the names outlond): Hmmmmmmmmm. Bruce, Deaf Dog, Buddy .... I see! So YOU'RE the one who made these things magically appear in our rooms! Spill it, beagle boy, who put you up to this? DAYTON (gruffly): Warrior did! He told me to do him this little favor, and ... BRUCE (anxious): And what, punk? DAYTON (lowers head): And he'd forget about the prank I pulled at the briefing room a few days ago. PATRICK (laughing): So, YOU'RE the one that put out all those whoopie cushions! I heard about that incident! DAYTON (nods, laughs): And when Hunter and the others sat down, it sounded like a Blazing Saddles outtake! YEAH!!! (sadly): The Master didn't think it was funny, he told Warrior to find out who did it and punish them. CODY (nods): Dayton, you should know better than to try and fool Warrior! BUDDY (nods): Yep! He has a sixth sense about these sort of things! PATRICK (smiling): Ok, this is all beginning to make sense now. Warrior wants us all to come to this reunion thing he's having. Well, we won't disappoint him. CLARK (nods): Right! Deaf Dog and the others nod and return to their quarters. Now dressed in casual attire, Kenai, Cody, Nikki, Alaska, Patrick, Buddy, Clark, Tom, Jerry, Bruce and Deaf Dog gather in the motor pool in front of a Road Rover bus. PATRICK (smiling): Ok, we'll take the bus to the Academy. Is everyone ready? As they are all nodding and smiling in agreement, Otto and Samantha Maddog walk over to the group. OTTO (sternly): Greetings, all. What is the nature of this gathering? PATRICK (smiles): All of us got invitations to attend a Rover Reunion at the Academy! SAMANTHA (smiles): That sounds very exciting, Mr Patrick, sir! PATRICK (points): All of us are taking this bus there, wanna join us? OTTO (sternly): That will not be neccessary. There is a better mode of transportation available to this event. SAMANTHA (smiles): What my husband is trying to say is, we will teleport all of you to the Academy, of you like.... PATRICK (happy): Great! KENAI (happy): Wonderful! BUUDY (happy): That'll save us an hour of travel time! DAYTON (nods): Yep, and it'll save gas too! OTTO (points): Speaking of gas, Cadet Dayton, I have deduced that you are the one who pulled the whoopie cushion prank at ... DAYTON (laughs): You're too late, you walking data bank! Warrior already figured it out! SAMANTHA (angry): Stop calling my husband names! DAYTON (giggles): Abd what are YOU going to do about it, Miss Manners? Samantha immediately gets Dayton into a head lock and squeezes tighter and tigher. SAMANTHA (growling): Does THIS answer your question, Cadet Dayton, sir? DAYTON (struggling): OK! OK! I'm sorry, let me go! OTTO (shouting): Samantha, that's enough. Release Dayton from the hold. SAMANTHA (nods): If you say so, darling! Samantha lets him go, Dayton now hides behind Patrick. OTTO (sternly): Let us proceed to our destination With a loud BOOM!!!!!!!! everyone is teleported to the auditorium of the Road Rover Academy. There they find several tables lined with food and gifts. The auditorium is brightly decorated with balloons and streamers. Warrior walks over to Patrick. WARRIOR (smiles): Welcome Patrick! I see you and your friends received my invitations! PARTICK (nods): Well, we seem to be a little early for the reunion but ... WARRIOR (interrupting): Well, there's no reunion today, Patrick! PATRICK (confused): Huh? WARRIOR (smiles): Dayton, unfurl the banner now! Dayton pulls a rope and a huge white banner with red letters is revealed. It reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK" As Patrick and the others stare at the banner, they are joined by Alethia, Dylan, Dawn, Huntress, DJ, Hope, Dervish, Star, Hunter, Colleen, Exile, Shag, Blitz, Muzzle and the Master. They all sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" together. MASTER (smiles): Patrick, you are a good, good dog! HUNTER (shouting): To the Power of the Pack! All of the Rovers howl in unison, when they all sit down to eat cake, the loud familiar sound of whoopie cushions 'going off' fills the air. WARRIOR (screaming at the top of his lungs): D A Y T O N ! ! ! ! ! ! ! -------------------------------------------------------------------
