//------------------------------// // Pups Save A Pampered Feline // Story: Friendship Knights Season 1 // by Tidal Wave2 //------------------------------// It was a bright and sunny day in Adventure Bay. Kids were having fun, birds were chirping and flowers were blooming. Yup, today was perfect. "No! Please!" Well... E-Except that. Ryder, Sonic and Cozy had brought Rubble to Katie's Clinic for an appointment, and he had to get a shot. "Now calm down, Rubble." Ryder said. "It's just a little shot." Rubble continued to whimper. "What's the matter?" Cozy asked mockingly. "Afraid of a shot, scaredy pup?" "Cozy, be nice." Sonic scolded as Katie gave Rubble his shot. "All done." "Please, I- Wait, what?" Rubble said in confusion. "See?" Ryder asked. "Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" "The way he whimpered was hilarious!" Cozy laughed. "What a big baby." "Say, while Cozy's here, we might as well give her her shot." Katie said. "Well, there's an idea. Save a trip back here, just to give me my-" Cozy started, but became to stammer. "-Sh-sh-sh-shot?" Cozy began to back away in fear, which Rubble snickered at. Cozy began to fly all over the place to avoid Ryder, who was trying to keep her in place. "Cozy, come back here!" At that moment, a Limo pulled up close to the clinic and out came a woman in a white coat. The lady heard Cozy's crying and got rather annoyed. "My word." She said. "What is that terrible noise?" As she asked this, her butler reached into the back of the Limo to grab something, and Cozy just received her shot. "All done." Katie said. "Listen, I'll do anything! I'll give Rubble my lunch! I'll look after Callie! I'll-" Cozy stopped. "Wait, all done? Huh, wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be." Just then, the front doors opened and in walked the woman. "Excuse me. I need the veterinarian at once." She said. "That would be me ma'am." Katie answered. "Can I help you?" "I'm Ms. Van Gelt, and I don't need any help. But you help poor Prince Orloff here." Van stepped aside to reveal her butler walking in, carrying a white cat with a gold collar sitting on a pillow. "Well hi Prince Orloff." Katie greeted. Prince Orloff just stared. "So, what's wrong with him?" "He coughed." "Three times, I'm afraid." Van's butler said. "Quick, get an ambulance." Ryder, Rubble and Cozy chuckled at Sonic's sarcastic remark. "You see, Prince Orloff's regular doctor is away for the week." Van said. "That's why I'm counting on you to cure my precious widdle baby dumpling." "Um, Ms. Van Gelt, I can already tell that there isn't anything wrong with your 'precious widdle baby dumpling'." Katie giggled. "That is except, he needs to exercise." "What?" Van asked in surprise. "That's true." Ryder said. "Take Rubble here for example. He doesn't just sit around all day." "Yeah, can't really have fun if I'm just laying around." Rubble assured. "Well, I wouldn't want any cat of mine to turn out like that tubby beast!" Van said pointing at Rubble, causing Cozy to gasp. "Now you listen here you-" Cozy began, but was cut off by Rubble. "That won't help anything." Rubble then leaned over to Cozy and whispered, "She's just lucky she didn't call me scrawny or useless." "A cat needs to run and play." Katie said. "I'll have you know, Prince Orloff's delicate paws NEVER touch ground!" Sonic put his hand on his face at Van's ridiculous objection. "Well, maybe it's time they did." "Well, I see you're an unfit vet for Prince Orloff." Van said, turning to the door. "Come Daws, we need to take Prince Orloff home and put him to bed." "Yes Madam." Daws said, carrying Orloff out. "Gee, I'd hate a life like that." Sonic said. Rubble and the others nodded in agreement. "Is Prince Orloff comfortable, Daws?" Van asked as they were about to drive home. "I placed him on the rear seat." The Limo drove off, but they failed to notice that Orloff snuck out and was standing behind the car. "I'm-I'm standing!" Orloff exclaimed. "I'm not on one of those damn pillows." He began walking down the street. "And now I'm walking! Oh mother, if you could see me now!" Paw Patrol Lookout Rubble and the other pups were playing soccer, while Sonic was talking to Cozy while eating a chili dog. "You know Cozy, I'm all for laying around." Sonic started. "But I wouldn't do it all the time. I really need to get around and move my feet." "I agree." Cozy said. "Come to think of it, my life probably would've been similar to that if I succeeded with my evil plans. Another reason to be happy I changed. Ow!" The soccer ball hit Cozy in the head and The pups came over. "Sorry Cozy." Everest said. "Hey, what're you guys talking about?" "There was a pampered kitty who sits on a pillow all day at Katie's earlier." Rubble answered. "That is really no way to live; doing nothing, having servants do everything for you." "Si," Tracker said. "Doesn't sound like much fun, amigo." "Well, at least you're less likely to get wet that way." Rocky said with a smile. "Surely something good comes out of it." "NO! It's awful!" The group turned to see Orloff standing before them. "Achoo!" Chase sneezed because of his cat allergy. "Gesundheit." Orloff said before continuing. "Oh, you feel so helpless, always dependent on others." "What're you doing here at the Lookout?" Cozy asked. "I couldn't take being waited on like that anymore. I never want to live in a mansion again." Suddenly, Orloff's stomach growled. "Hmm, sounds like you're hungry." Rubble pointed out. "What do they feed you there?" "Let's see, last night we had lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a moray sauce and raspberry tiramisu." The pups looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Orloff just said. Sonic grabbed a chili dog and held it to him. "Here, try some of this. It's better." Oroff took a bite and instantly delighted. "That's the greatest food I've ever eaten!" Orloff exclaimed. "What is it called?" "It's a delicious combination we call: a 'chili dog'." Rubble answered, making Orloff raise an eyebrow. "Oh it's not actually a dog, it's a pig." As Orloff continued eating, Rubble turned to Cozy. "Sorry you can't have meat Cozy." "That's alright." At that moment, Chase's pup-tag beeped. "OH! Hey Rubble, me and the others are going to go hang out with Kion and the rest of the Lion Guard." He said. "Can you stay with Cozy and Sonic, and help Orloff?" "Sure, see ya." Rubble said before the other pups took off. "So, what do you do for fun?" Rubble asked Orloff. "For 'fun'?" Orloff asked in confusion. "I thought so." Sonic said. "Come with us, we'll show you what the word means." Later at the park, Prince Orloff was playing Tennis with Cozy Glow. Sonic was the ball boy and Rubble was the coach. Next, Rubble was pushing Orloff on the swing, but then he pushed too hard and sent Orloff flying off and onto a bouncy castle. At Gelt Manor, Van was drinking some wine while yelling at Daws. "You were supposed to keep an eye on him!" She yelled. "My bad madam." Daws said. "I shall call the police." "Have them search EVERYWHERE! My baby can't be alone for one second!" Back at the Lookout; Cozy, Rubble, Sonic and Orloff were watching TV, and Orloff was beyond thrilled. "Wow, this is incredible! She never let me watch-" Orloff paused. "Um, what is this called again?" "Television." Cozy answered. "Oh. She never let me watch 'television' before. What is this program I'm enjoying so?" "It's Apollo The SuperPup." Rubble said. "He's my hero." At that moment, Ryder walked by. "I'm going out for a walk. Bye Rubble. See ya Cozy. Have fun Sonic. See you later Prince Orloff." Ryder walked out of the Lookout, about to continue his walk, until he realized what he saw. "PRINCE ORLOFF!?!? AAHHH!!! THAT GELT WOMAN IS PROBABLY FRANTIC!!!!!" Ryder pulled out his phone and called Katie. "Hello? Katie? You remember that cat who came to your clinic this morning?" Ryder told Katie what was going on. "He's what, Ryder!? At the Lookout? What is Prince Orloff doing at the Lookout?" It is then revealed that Katie's clinic is filled with cops, and they told Katie to give them the address of the Lookout. In fact, they were so focused on finding Prince Orloff, they didn't notice a robber walk out of a store with a bag of money. The robber was confused that they didn't stop to get him, but that didn't stop him from running off. Back at the Lookout, Rubble, Cozy and Sonic brought Orloff outside to have more fun. "Now, we'll take you to Mr. Porter's Cafe." Rubble said. "He's great at making all sorts of food and drinks." "Ho ho, I'm having so much fun, guys!" Orloff laughed. "I'll never go back to that damn mansion!" Suddenly, they were surrounded by police officers in cars, helicopters, and on motorcycles. Cozy got nervous and hid behind Sonic. "Um, for some reason, I think you probably are after all." Sonic said. "NEVER!!!" Orloff fled, jumping over officers and running down the road. At that moment, a limo pulled up and Van stepped out. "Stop him!" Van cried. "Bring my poor widdle baby back to me!" Orloff ran into Adventure Bay, not slowing down one bit. Sonic watched the direction he was heading. "Guys, I'll bet he's going back to the park." He said. "Sonic, you're faster than any of us. Take us there, quickly!" Cozy said. Sonic nodded, picked up the foal and pup, and sped off. The police ended up having to leap a few fences to continue chasing Orloff. Daws let Van use him as a stool to get over the fence. "Dear! Why has my baby run away from me?" Van asked before falling on the other side. She eventually decided to ride on Daws' back. "Rubble? Cozy? Sonic?" Ryder called out as he looked around the Lookout. "Anybody?" "I think they're heading for the park!" Katie said. The two kids began heading that way. At that moment, Chase and the other pups were playing at the park with Alex. "Hey Chase, pass the ball to me!" Alex said. "Okay!" Chase kicked the ball toward Alex, but then, Orloff ran by and knocked the ball out of reach with the cops right on his tail. "What the Hell?" Marshall asked. Sonic arrived holding a dizzy Cozy Glow and Rubble. "Uhhhh, guys. Did Prince Orloff run by here?" Rubble asked. "Yeah." Rocky said. "He went that way!" The group ran after Orloff and the cops, stopping when they saw that Orloff was sitting on a tree branch. "There he is! Up there!" One of the cops said. "We gotta get him down." Van and Daws approached the tree. "Prince Orloff!" Van exclaimed. "You come down from that tree right this minute!" "Hahaha! I climbed a tree!" Orloff laughed. "The view from here is amazing!" Daws noticed something was up. "Madam, something's off about Prince Orloff. He looks... different." "He does." Van said. "Something about his face." Rubble tapped on Vans leg, getting her attention and pointed at Orloff's mouth, smiling. "A smile? Yes, he's smiling!" Orloff laughed again. "Wait, is it possible he's... happy!?" "That would be my explantion for your cat, Ms. Van Gelt." Katie said. "A little less pampering, a little more life." Van realised Katie was right. "Yeah." Skye said. "Basically, the life you were giving him is like no life at all. One shouldn't hide from the world. They should live." Van couldn't believe her mistake. "Oh my lord, I have been so foolish!" Prince Orloff climbed down to her. "Oh my dear prince. Forgive me. From now on, you'll be getting as much fun in your life as possible." "Yes!" Orloff cheered before turning to Rubble and the others. "Thanks so much guys." "No problem." Rubble said. "Whenever you're in trouble, just yelp-" "Or meow." Sonic and Cozy added with a laugh. "-for help." Rubble finished. Later, Orloff was back at his mansion to enjoy his new life. "You were such a good pup, filly and hedgehog today." Ryder said. "Thanks Ryder." Cozy said. "Really though, being cooped up in a mansion and never getting to live life." "Yeah, I bet you'd hate a life like that. Wouldn't you Rocky?" Sonic asked. "I'm thinking it over." Rocky answered. "Oh Rocky!" Everyone said before breaking into laughter. P-P-P-Paw, Paw, Paw Patrol
