Buford's Collie Squadron -- "On The Road Again -- Part 2" As the Gila Monster glances out the window, he is tapped on the shoulder. PRINCESS (smlies): Gila, darling! He turns and sees Princess, Molly, Misty and Abby. GILA MONSTER (shocked): How'd youse girls git in here? MOLLY (smiles): We used our collars to make ourselves invisible and just walked right in! ABBY (frantic): We have to think of something fast! DJ, Convoy and Jazz are being used as slave labor! MISTY (sadly): We've tried to send a message out or teleport away from here, but there's some sort of radio jamming field surrounding the place. GILA MONSTER (gruffly): Looks like we is on our own! MOLLY (smiles): Maybe not! If we could free all of the other slave workers, they could help us stop Storm and his gang! (sees Gila's image projector): That looks damaged, maybe I can fix it. ABBY (smiles): I have an idea! Gather around me and listen! Meanwhile, Captain Zachary Storm and three of his men walk over to where his slave laborers are working. STORM (upset): What is taking them so LONG? We should've struck silver by now! SOLDIER #! (points): Captain, they are using hand tools. We could go a lot faster if we had some modern equipment! STORM (angry): I know that, you fool! That's why I've sold all of these stolen rigs! The buyer will be here in a few minutes. Then, with all of that money, I can buy the digging equipemnt we need! SOLDIER #2 (pointing): Look, those three new guys keep whipsering with one another! STORM (furious): They're no doubt plotting escape! Take them to the shack, let's see how they handle ... Storm smiles when he sees the Gila Monster (still in holographic disguise) being dragged out of the shack by two of his guards. STORM (nods): Let them see their friend! Maybe THAT will discourage them from plotting against us! The two soldiers drag the Gila over to where Convoy, DJ and Jazz are working and drop him There. As soon as the guards leave, the three surround him. CONVOY (whispering): Gila! Are you alright? DJ (whispering): How bad are you injured, buddy? JAZZ (whispering): Speak to us! GILA MONSTER (whispers): I'm fine, guys. Abby has a plan. I'm pretending to be half dead, Misty used her powers on them two soldier boys so they'd bring me out here and forgot all that happened in the shack. Wait for her signal, then we're all bustin' out of here! Spread the word to the other truckers. Convoy, DJ and Jazz quickly get back to work, but casually mingle among the other truckers and tell them about their plan. Meanwhile, a long black limosine pulls up inside the cave. Three dark suited men step out of it and walk over to Storm holding a black briefcase. STORM (smiles): Excellent! You brought the money! As you can see, all of the rigs are here! MAN #1 (nods): As we expected them to be, here is the cash we agreed upon. More of my men will be arriving shortly to drive MY trucks away from here. STORM (takes the briefcase): It's a pleasure doing business with you! As Storm sets the briefcase down, Princess (who is under the invisibilty field of Abby, Molly and Misty) has an idea. PRINCESS (whispers to the others): Opportunity is knocking! Here's the distraction we need! Princess concentrates and 'freezes' time. Then she runs over to the briefcase, opens it and begins to remove the money from it. PRINCESS (to herself): I only have a minute, gotta hurry! She finishes stuffing all of the money into a sack, closes the breifcase and runs away. She's back under the invisiblity field just as time 'unfreezes'. Storm suddenly lifts the breifcase. STORM (shocked): This briefcase seems very light! (opens it): What?? Empty? (shouts): HEY! Are you three trying to pull a fast one on me? Where's the money? MAN #2 (shocked): What are you talking about, Storm? All the money is there, I counted it myself! STORM (tosses the briefcase at them): Look, see for yourselves! One of the men opens the briefcase, the others look inside. MAN #3 (shakes head): Impossible! I don't get it! STORM (furious): You'll GET IT alright! (points): Everyone, open fire! GET THEM ALL! Soon, laser rifle fire sends the three men running for their limo, they hop inside and drive away in a hurry. Most of the men watching over the truckers run to join the fight. ABBY (still invisible): Ok Molly, now you've seen where all the guards are hiding, fetch their weapons! The rest of us will take out the guards that stayed behind. HURRY! MOLLY (smiles): Hurry is my middle name! Molly (still invisible) uses her super speed to quickly disarm many of the soldiers while Abby, Princess and Misty tackle the remaining guards. DJ (points): Look! They've taken out the guards, let's go! DJ, Convoy and Jazz lead the other truckers out of the fenced-off work area. Molly drops a dozen laser rifles off in from of DJ and rushes away to get the rest. DJ, Convoy and Jazz each grab one, other truckers grab the rest and follow DJ towards Storm's troopers. Most of them disarmed, the frightened troopers raise their arms to surrender. Meanwhile Molly has taken away more laser rifles and moves quickly to grab the rifles of Storm and the three men who are with him. She trips and falls, flying into the four men, knocking them all down. Losing her concentration, Molly suddenly becomes visible. STORM (furious): A ROAD ROVER! GRAB HER!! The three men quickly grab the dazed collie by her arms and stand her up in front of Storm. STORM (angry): Ok, Rover, how many others are here? Tell me, or you're going to DIE! As Storm reaches to slap Molly in the face, another hand grabs Storm's hand. DJ (furious): I don't think so, lunatic! DJ punches Storm in the face as Convoy, Jazz and the Gila Monster pounce on the other three men. While DJ tends to Molly; Abby, Misty and Princess run inside of the main complex. MISTY (points): That must be the radio jamming device! ABBY (growling): Scratch one jammer! Stand back! Abby forms a huge fireball in her hand and hurls it at the machine, causing it to explode in a fountain of electrical sparks and flame. ABBY (looks at Misty): Misty, Princess, contact Mission Control while I go and help the boys out! Abby 'flames on' and flies back outside. Most of Storms men have been either captured or knocked out, and group of five of them attempt to flee. Abby sees this and soon is floating in front of the startled troopers. ABBY (laughs): Leaving so soon? I haven't had my fun yet! Abby begins throws fireballs at the men and laughs as she watches them run in all directions. Princess 'freezes' time again long enough to tie the five men up. Misty runs out to DJ and Molly. MISTY (excited): I contacted the Master, the real state police will be here any minute! (looks at Molly): Molly? Are you alright? MOLLY (dazed): Er.... yeah..... tell the judge I'll present my closing arguments in three minutes... (passes out) DJ (gently shakes her): MOLLY! MOLLY! She's fainted! DJ picks up Molly in his arms and walks towards the cave opening. A Street Rover pulls up with Marauder driving it, he hits the brakes and hops out when he sees DJ and Molly. MARAUDER (puts his hands on her head): She has a slight bump on her head, I'll wake her with smelling salts! As Marauder waves the smelling salts under Molly's nose, Linda, Vicki and Roger rush out of the Street Rover to watch. MOLLY (slowly opens her eyes): er... (sees DJ): OH DJ!! Instinctively, she reaches up and hugs DJ. DJ (smiles): It's alright, Molly, it's all over. We won! Misty runs over to hug Jazz, Princess kisses the Gila Monster. Abby lands near Convoy and 'flames off'. She notices the startled look on his face. ABBY (sadly): Convoy, this is who I really am. It's my Road Rover special power, to become a canine torch. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you'd..... well.... get scared and not want to see me again... Convoy walks over to Abby and takes her by the hand. CONVOY (smiles): Abby, I already knew about your flame powers. I'm not afraid. I know you'd never burn me on purpose. I really care about you! Our first date was the greatest moment in my life! ABBY (turns to Convoy): Really? You mean it? CONVOY (nods): Of course I do! Call me to the witness stand! I'll say it under oath! ABBY (looks into his eyes): Oh Convoy! Abby kisses Convoy passionately, not noticing that Hunter, Colleen, Roger, Ben and Vicki are all standing close to them. Hunter clears his throat which causes Abby and Convoy to stop kissing. HUNTER (smiles): Looks like you two are celebratiing in style, aren't you? COLLEEN (happy): Oh Huntie Wuntie, doesn't that give you any ideas? HUNTER (nods): YEP! It sure does! COLLEEN (excited): Really? HUNTER (smiling): Yeah, it reminds me, I need to look in the Road Rover manual and see if there's anything in it about kissing while on duty! COLLEEN (rolls eyes): That's not exactly what I had in mind... HUNTER (concerned): Oh? Just what did you have in mind? COLLEEN (wild grin): THIS!!! Colleen grabs Hunter and passionately kisses him. BEN (looking at the others): You all did a great job! We've recovered all the stolen trucks, found all the missing truck drivers, and have Zachary Storm back in custody as well! GILA MONSTER (smiles): It's all in a day's work, Mr Maddog! Ben looks around and sees Abby kisses Convoy, Molly in DJ's arms, Misty hugging Jazz and Linda kissing Marauder and sighs. BEN (to himself): Looks like my little girls aren't so little anymore. HUNTER (shouts out): To the POWER of the PACK!! All of the Rovers howl together in unison. The scene now shifts to Road Rover Mission Control, two hours later. The Master has all of the Rovers gathered in the briefing room. MASTER (smiling): Road Rovers, you are all good, good dogs! Our undercover mission was a complete success! You may each have a doggie treat! DJ (looks around): Oh, I forgot something, be right back! The other Rovers each take a dog buscuit and sit down in the breifing room. Molly is joined by Princess and the Gila Monster, who is crunching his dog buscuit loudly. GILA MONSTER (happy): WOW! I can see why you dogs love these things so much! I'm gonna git another one! While the Gila Monster runs over to get another buscuit, Princess notices Molly staring at her's. As she begins to speak, DJ re enters the room unnoticed. PRINCESS (concerned); Molly, you haven't touched your food, what the matter? MOLLY (sadly): I hugged DJ again today. PRINCESS (smiles): Yes, I saw! MOLLY (sadly): I just wish that somehow, DJ knew how much I cared about him.. DJ (standing behind her, to himself): He does, Molly collie, he does know.... (clears throat) Molly nearly jumps out of her seat when she sees DJ. MOLLY (shocked): OH ... DJ! You scared me! DJ (smiles): I didn't mean to, sorry about that. Is something wrong, you haven't eaten your doggie treat! MOLLY (tries to smile): er.. well, that last mission was a bit scary for me... DJ (nods): I could tell, you were shaking a bit when I held you in my arms.. MOLLY (sighs): Yeah... DJ (smiles): Tell you what, how about we got out for a banana split, my treat, what do ya say? MOLLY (brightens): I'd like that, DJ, thank you! DJ (nods): Hey, what are friends for? Princess smiles as she watches DJ and Molly leave together, the Gila Monster returns holding a dozen dog biscuits. GILA MONSTER (happy): I never knew y'all got these things for free! I can't git enough of them! Hard and crumbly, just the way I like'm! PRINCESS (rolls eyes): Oh.. yeah.. Abby and Convoy walk out into the hallway holding hands. ABBY (smiles): Convoy, that was some mission we just had, wasn't it? CONVOY (nods): Yep. sure was! I'm glad your sister is alright. ABBY (nods): Me too! Y'know, Convoy, we're really overdue for our next date! How about we go to the Opera? CONVOY (confused): The opera? ABBY (smiles): Sure! (sees the look on Convoy's face) Well, how about going to a movie instead! CONVOY (brightens): SURE THING!!! I love the movies! ABBY (smiles): Ok, the movies it is! Abby looks deeply into Convoy's eyes and kisses him. CONVOY (grins): I think I'm going to like dating a lawyer! ABBY (thinking to herself): Like Hunter would say, 'I would not have predicted this, no way!' She kisses him again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
