Star --- "A Star Has A Birthday" The scene is Road Rover Mission Control. We find Star asleep in her quarters, smiling in her sleep thinking about her birthday. She slowly opens her eyes, yawns and stretchs. The she glances over at the alarm clock on her nightstand. STAR (screams): It's eleven o'clock! I must've forgot to set the alarm! Star jumps out of bed, showers, puts on her uniform and rushes out to the dining room. STAR (thinking to herself): Too late for breakfast, maybe I can grab a quick bite for lunch.. To her complete surprise, the dining room is empty, even Shag isn't in the kitchen area. STAR (thinking outloud): Terrific! (smiles): Oh well, I'll fix myself a sandwich and have a Pepsi or two to go with it! Star walks into the kitchen area and prepares a cold cut sandwich, but then she sees something in the fridge that makes her upset. STAR (shocked): WHAT?? NO PEPSI?? She rumages through the items in the fridge but is unable to find a single can or bottle of Pepsi. STAR (brightens): I know! The vending machines in the lounge area! Star takes her sandwich and runs to the lounge, which also has no Road Rovers in it. STAR (thinking outloud): Strange, I wonder where everyone is! (shrugs): Oh well, I'll get my Pepsi then I'll be set! She walks over to the vending machine in the corner. She sees the buttons marked 'Pepsi', 'Diet Pepsi' and 'Pepsi One', all of them with little red lights showing on them, indictating the machine was out of those brands. STAR (furious): NO PEPSI!!! THIS REALLY BITES!!!! In a rage of fury, Star karate kicks the vending machine, causing it to topple to the floor. As the machine lays, shorted out and with change flowing from the return slot, a familiar voice is heard on the PA system. MASTER (on PA system): All available Rovers report to the briefing room immediately! STAR (angry): Just great! No time for lunch, and worse yet, NO PEPSI! What is birthday this is turning out to be! Star rushes to the briefing room and sits down. Looking around, she notices only two other Road Rovers in the room, a tan Newfoundland female and a strange-looking spotted dog with a metal arm. All eyes focus forward as the Master speaks. MASTER (sternly): Road Rovers! We have a crisis! A major manufacturing plant in New England has been the apparent target of sabatoge! STAR (concerned): Which plant is that, Master? MASTER (points to projected sky map): The Pepsi Cola bottling plant near Boston. STAR (furious, clinches fists): NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!! LET ME AT'M!!!!! MASTER (nods): You must leave at once, Rovers! STAR (stands up, shouts): You bet, Master! (looks around): Where's the other Rovers? Where's DJ, Alethia, Muzz, Dawn, Dylan, Dervish, Hunter ..... MASTER (shakes head): All of the other Rovers are out on other assignments, I'm afraid it's up to you, Hannah and Amos Doggie to solve this mystery together! Good Luck! Star looks at Hannah and Amos, she'd never formally met them before, but she ran over to shake their hands. STAR (shaking hands): Amos, Hannah, HI, I'm Star! HANNAH (smiles): Pleased to meet you, Miss! AMOS (shakes hands): Amos be happy to see ya, too! STAR (points): Well, there's no time for chit chat! We have a mission! Follow me to the Sky Rover! Star, Hannah and Amos howl in unison then rush to the motor pool to board a Jet Rover. Star notices that even DJ and Molly Maddog aren't in the garage area. She ponders this as the three Rovers strap themselves into the Jet Rover and take off. Star is at the controls, carefully following the flight directions transmitted from the Rover Satelite to find the Pepsi Cola plant in Boston. HANNAH (talking to Amos): I wonder who would want to sabotage a Pepsi factory? AMOS (shakes head): Amos not know. Me be liking Pepsi, it go good with a bowl of me crawdad bisque! STAR (sternly): I don't know who's messing around in that factory, but when I get my paws on them, they're TOAST!!! HANNAH (nods): You do sound very determined, Miss Star! STAR (growls): NO ONE MESSES WITH MY FAVORITE SOFT DRINK!!! Within minutes, Star lands the Jet Rover on the factory grounds. As the three depart, Star notices the lack of cars parked in the lot and sees no people walking around any of the main buildings. STAR (thinking to herself): No one working today? This is getting really strange! HANNAH (points to a warehouse building): Star, Amos, I thought I heard something moving in that building! STAR (motions, takes out laser pistol): That's gotta be them! Let's take'm Rovers! Star, Hannah and Amos run towards the warehouse buildings, it's huge bay doors are shut. Amos uses his bionic arm to push the door slightly open so they can sneak inside. It is very dark in the windowless warehouse. Star reaches for a flashlight, as she turns in on, all of the fllodlights in the warehouse suddenly come on. Star, Amos and Hannah hear many voices call out at once, "SURPRISE!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR!!!!!" The entire warehouse is decorated with screamers and a huge overhead 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR' banner. Standing in front of the amazed trio are all of Star's friends, including Dawn, DJ, Alethia, Callie, Grey, Cricket, Dervish, Dylan, Azelin, Huntress, Muzz, Hunter, Colleen, Blitz, Exile, Hope, Spirit and Cobber. Shag is standing at the table with the huge white birthday cake on it, surrounded by lots of party food. STAR (totally stunned): WOW!!! I don't know what to say! AMOS (equally stunned): YEAH!! Dis be some party! I guarantee! HANNAH (smiles): It's all for you, Star! We had all of this planned out months ago! AMOS (turns to Hannah): But you not be telling me dis! HANNAH (nods): That's because you're not very good at keeping secrets! AMOS (defensive): Amos can keep secrets! Me not tell no one about dee cute stuffed animals you be sleepin' wit every night! HANNAH (embarrassed): I rest my case ..... DAWN (running over to hug Star): Happy Birthday! What do you want to do first? CALLIE (smiles): Wanna open your gifts? GREY (smiles): Blow out your candles? DJ (smiles): Turn on some music? STAR (shakes head): Nope, there's only one thing I wanna do right now! DERVISH (smiles); What's that? STAR (points to the refreshment table): DRINK A PEPSI!!!! Everyone in the warehouse cheers and sings 'Happy Birthday' to Star. HUNTER (shouts): To the Power of the Pack! All of the Rovers howl in unison. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
