The scene is along a highway in New England.  A familiar red Ferrari is moving along the highway.  Linda, wearing her RR armor suit, is driving and Marauder, wearing his usual orange shirt, brown pants, and black boots, is seated next to her.

(Linda):  There's nothing like the open road.

(Marauder):  Indeed.  After a mission like that, it always feels good to do something different.

(Linda):  I know what you mean.   Parvo never gives up, does he?

(Marauder):  Guess not.  When is he ever going to learn?

(Linda, giggles):  I did like the way Abby lit his britches up!  Bet he'll be feeling that for a while!

Marauder giggles.  He turns on the CD player and a moment later, classical music starts playing.

(Marauder):  A little music to go with the scenery, my dear.

(Linda, happy):  Perfect, my love!

Marauder sits back in his seat as Linda continues driving.

(Linda, points):  Oh look!   Someone is selling fruit by the side of the road!  Wanna pick up some?

(Marauder):  Okay.

Linda pulls over.  They both walk up to the fruit stand.

(Linda, points):  Look at all of this!   Fresh Watermelon, Apples, Pears....

(Marauder):  Nice variety!

(Linda, points):  Sir, how much for that watermelon?

(Farmer):  Well, how about....  (shouts):   YOUR FREEDOM!!!

A cage now surrounds Linda and Marauder as Parvo removes his disguise.

Parvo (laughs):  Foolish Rovers, you fell for my trap!

(Marauder, sternly):  I think you're forgetting something.

(Parvo):  Oh really?   What am I forgetting?

(Linda, smiles):  This!

Linda holds Marauder's hand as they pass through the cage.

Parvo (shouts):  CANO MUTANTS, GET THEM!!!!

Linda and Marauder run and get in the car, and a moment later, they're flying down the road.

(Linda, shouts); EAT MY DUST, CANO CREEPS!!!

(Marauder, looks behind them): Err, honey, looks like the Cano mutants have motorcycles....

The gang of Cano-Mutants moves closer and closer to their car.

(Marauder):  Punch it, dear!

As Linda hits the accelerator, the Cano-Mutants begin to howl and hit the car with their chains.  They begin racing away from them at a maddening pace.

(Linda, growls):  Those creeps ruined my paint job!   (grits teeth):  THIS MEANS WAR!!!!

Linda turns the car around and drives towards the bikers.

The Cano-mutants cannot believe what they see.  They all swerve to get out of the way of the oncoming car, some ending up in the ditches.

(Linda, shouts):  TAKE THAT, STUPID MUTTS!!!

Marauder is sitting rigidly in his seat and has his hand over his heart.

(Marauder, exasperated):  Whoa, Lassie.

(Linda, angry):  I can't believe they ruined my car's paint job!   What am I going to do now?

Marauder turns and sees a few Cano-mutants chasing them.

(Marauder):  Dear, I don't think now's the time to worry about that.

(Linda, growls):  Back for another round, hounds?  HERE I COME!!

Linda wheels the car around and rushes toward them.  At the last minute, she touches the car's dashboard, using her powers to make the car pass through the startled Cano-mutants, who crash into each other as they watch her go by.

Later, they return to the spot where Parvo had tried to capture them.

(Marauder):  Hey Parvo!  You were good, but compared to us, you'll always be second best!

Parvo (angry):  I'll get you yet, Road Rovers!!!

They drive off, leaving Parvo behind.

(Linda, laughs):  That guy really cracks me up!

(Marauder):  Now, about your paint job...

Rupee now appears in the backseat.

(Linda, surprised):  Momma?

(Rupee, smiles):  Yes, it's me.  I hope you don't mind me popping in like this...

(Marauder):  What are you doing here?

(Rupee):  Well, I heard that those Cano-mutants ruined your paint job.

(Linda, growls):  YEAH!  Stupid mean doggies!

(Marauder):  We just got her this car a few weeks ago, and now, it already needs a new paint job.

(Rupee, smiles):  IS that all it needs?   (snaps fingers):  Easy enough to fix.

Instantly, the car looks brand new again.

(Linda, happy); WOW!!  Thanks Mom!

(Rupee, smiles):  Any time, Linda.

Rupee disappears.  They drive on.

The scene is now in Acadia National Park in Maine.  Linda and Marauder are now driving slowly through the park.  They stop near a shore and get out of the car.

(Linda):  Oh Honey!   This place is breathtaking!

(Marauder):  Shall we go for a walk?

(Linda):  Thought you'd never ask!

They join hands and walk along the beach.

(Marauder):  Look at that sunset.

(Linda):  Very beautiful!

They stop and embrace.

(Linda):  I love it when you hold me like this!

They look into each other’s eyes and kiss.

Then, Marauder returns to the car, opens the trunk and pulls out a picnic basket.

(Linda):  You think of everything!

They sit down along the shore.  Marauder takes a champagne bottle out and opens it with a pop.  He takes out two glasses and pours them each a glass of champagne.

(Linda, smiles):  You do know how to have a good time.

They clang their glasses and drink.  Then, Marauder takes some grapes out of the basket.  He pulls one off and puts one in Linda's mouth.

(Linda):  Oh darling...

She smiles as she chews.  Marauder puts his arm around his beloved.  Linda puts her head on Marauder's shoulder and shuts her eyes.

(Linda):  I could stay here all night with you like this....

(Marauder):  I wish we could always be together like this.

(Linda):  Me too...

(Marauder):  Anyone who says the romance ends when you get married is a liar!

(Linda):  Very true....

(Marauder):  Our love has been more like wine.  It gets better with age.

(Linda):  Oh Marauder, you always say the sweetest things....

They stay and reminisce for a while.  Finally, when it gets dark, Marauder picks up Linda and carries her back to the car.  He then picks up the basket and glasses and puts them back in the trunk.  Then, he takes a blanket out of the trunk and closes it.  He gets back in the car on the passenger side and, cuddling together, covers both Linda and him with the blanket and they fall asleep.

The next morning, they are still there when the sun arises.

(Linda, yawns):  Honey?   Are you awake?

(Marauder, tired):  Yes, dear.

(Linda, looks up):  It's morning!   We stayed out all night!

(Marauder, surprised):  Indeed we have.  That's amazing.

Linda's cell phone rings.

(Linda, answers it):  Hello?

(Abby, on the phone):  LINDA!  WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU?   I called your house and got the answering machine!

(Linda):  It's a long story.  What's going on?

(Abby, on the phone):  The date on the Anderson case has been moved up!   I need your help to get ready for it!

(Linda):  But Abby, you already have the notes I researched on it.  I gave you the entire file.

(Abby, on the phone):  But you have to come into the office now!   I need you to run errands to the courthouse for me!

(Linda, upset):  Look Abby!  Today's my day off!   Molly and Vicki are there, why can't one of them do them?

(Abby, on the phone):  I don't want them to do it.  I want YOU to do it!

(Linda, upset):  Why do you want me?  Molly and Vicki are just as capable!

(Abby, on the phone):  I need SOMEONE to pick up my dress at the cleaners and get my mail and...

(Linda, furious):  DO IT YOURSELF, LAZYBONES!!! (she hangs up):  WHAT nerve!   That Abby still treats me like her personal slave!

(Marauder):  What did she want?

(Linda, upset):  She wants me to come into the office today just to run errands for her and do all the leg work on the Anderson case!  

(Marauder, sternly):  Slut!  She expects everything to be done FOR her!

(Linda, angry):  Miss Grimm can do a lot of that.  That's what she gets paid for....

(Marauder, surprised):  Then why does she want YOU to do it?

(Linda, sighs):  I don't know, dear.  Abby's always been that way.  (upset):  Even when we were younger, Abby would force me to do her chores for her from time to time.  Especially when she wanted to go out!   (mocks her):  You can do this for me, Linda; after all, YOU don’t have a date tonight...  (growls):  Makes me so mad when I think about it!

(Marauder, shakes head):  Brother! (smiles) Anyway, want to go get some breakfast?

(Linda, giggles):  Somewhere quiet and peaceful?

The cell phone rings again.

(Linda):  Hello?...(angry) No, Abby!  I'm not gonna get your stupid dress!...No, YOU listen to me!  I'm tired of you always treating us like dirt!  It's about time you got over that habit!...Goodbye, Abby! (hangs up and turns the phone off)

(Marauder, giggles):  WHOA!   I'll remember to stay on your good side!

Linda smiles and kisses Marauder.

(Linda):  You're always on my good side, my love!

(Marauder): Okay, let's go somewhere quiet for breakfast!

Linda slides over to the driver side.  She starts up the car and they drive out of the park.

(Linda):  Where are we going, dear?

(Marauder):  I hear there's a really nice diner in Ellsworth that serves mouth-watering pancakes!

(Linda, happy):  Perfect!

They arrive at the diner and go inside.  Seated at a booth, they look at the menus together.

(Marauder):  Let's see, we can get pancakes with eggs and meat, if we'd like.

(Linda):  Here's the daily special....  three pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast for 2.99.

(Marauder):  Okay, let's have that then.

Their server comes up later and takes their order.  Moments later, their food is brought out.

As they are eating, Abby puts her hand on Linda's shoulder.

(Abby, angry):  So HERE you are!  Goofing off when I need work done!

(Linda, shocked):  Abby?

(Abby, nods):  That's right, I used my collar to track you down and teleport here!   I can't believe you had the nerve to hang up on me, your own sister!

(Marauder, sternly):  EXCUSE ME?  But I believe this is her day off!

(Abby):  You stay out of this, Doogie Howser, this is between my sister and me!

(Linda, upset):  I'm sick and tired of you making fun of my husband!  Laugh at me all you want, but if you say ONE MORE word about my Marauder...

(Abby):  What are you going to do?  Sue me?

(Marauder, to a server):  Sir?

He whispers something in the server's ear.

(Server):  Yes sir.

A moment later, Abby is seen flying out of the diner door.

(Abby, shouting outside the diner);  HOW DARE YOU!!   I'M GOING TO TELL DAD ON YOU, LINDA!!!

(Marauder, laughing):  What's she gonna say? (mocking her) Dad, Linda wouldn't do my chores on her day off.  And when I went to make her do them, they threw me out!

(Linda, laughs):  I can't believe you did that!  I've been waiting a long time to see someone put her in her place like that!

Marauder kisses Linda and they continue eating.

Later, they are driving down a road in New Hampshire.

(Marauder):  Wow, the fall sure makes the scenery look pretty.

(Linda):  It sure does.

Marauder turns on the radio to listen to the news.

(News anchor, over radio):  We have a report just in.  There seems to be a hostage situation taking place in Concord right now.  We have learned that several people are being held hostage at the First National Bank in Concord, and that one police officer was seriously wounded in a gunfight with the kidnappers.

(Linda);  Oh no!

(Marauder):  What do you think?

(Linda):  We'd better get to Concord right away!

Linda floors the accelerator and they zoom down the highway.

(Linda):  I wonder if the Rovers will send anyone there?

(Marauder):  We're closer.  We can handle this ourselves.

Later, when they reach Concord, they race around traffic to get to the First National Bank.  When they arrive, there are police cars out front and police officers with their guns ready in case something happens.

(Linda):  Oh my!   What can we do?

An officer runs up to them.

(Officer):  You folks need to stay away.  It's too dangerous around here. (notices their appearance) Wait a minute.  Are you guys from the Road Rovers?

(Marauder):  Yes officer.  I'm Marauder, the chief medical officer of the Road Rovers, and this is my wife, Linda Maddog, from the Collie Squadron.

(Officer):  Well, maybe the two of you can help us.  This robbery went wrong, so the robber is holding the bank staff hostage.  My SWAT team won't be here for a half hour, so we need to act fast.

They get out of the car.  Marauder and Linda activate their collars to make themselves invisible.  They go up to the bank and look inside.  The robber looks like something out of a guerilla team, with a hood over his face to conceal his identity, and armed with an automatic assault weapon.

(Linda, whispers):  Looks like there's only one robber, what do we do now?

(Marauder, whispers):  Well first, we've got to get inside and stop that guy.

(Linda, takes his hand):  Getting inside is EASY!!   

Linda and Marauder pass through the wall to the inside.  They sneak up to the robber and Linda swipes the gun.

(Robber, stunned):  What the...?

They make themselves visible again.

(Marauder):  Didn't your mother ever teach you crime doesn't pay?

The robber swings at Linda, but when his hand passes through her, he freaks out.

(Robber, scared);  GHOST DOGS!!   I MUST BE CRAZY!!!

The robber makes a run for it, but then, the police officers show up and capture him.

(Officer):  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!

(Linda, confused):  Believed what, sir?

(Officer):  The way you went in there and stopped this guy in no time flat.  It might have taken us all day to stop him.

(Marauder):  I guess it helps when you have special powers.

(Officer, nods):  Indeed.  We are certainly grateful to the two of you for your help.

(Marauder, smiles):  Anytime, officer.

That evening, Marauder and Linda return to Boston.  Linda pulls the Ferrari to the back of the house.  She turns it off and they get out and lock the car.  Then, they put a canopy over it to protect it from the weather.  When they finish, they go inside the house.

(Marauder):  It's good to be home!

(Linda):  Yeah, it's been quite a morning!

(Marauder):  Indeed it has.

Marauder sets the stuff down.  He picks up Linda and carries her into the living room.

(Linda):  Oh Marauder, you are always so romantic!

He sits down on the sofa with her.  As he is about to kiss her, the phone rings.

(Marauder):  Why is it every time I kiss my wife, something interrupts?

(Linda):  It could be important.  After all, you are a doctor.

(Marauder):  You're right. (picks up the phone) Hello?

(Molly, on the other line):  Marauder, is Linda there?

(Marauder, to Linda): It's Molly.

(Linda):  I'll talk to her. (Marauder hands her the phone.) Yes Molly?

(Molly, on phone):  I thought you should know, Abby's been running her mouth about what you and your husband did to her this morning.  

(Linda):  Well, it's her fault.  This was supposed to be my day off.

(Molly, on phone):  She was speechless when she saw you both on the news at noon!  Even mom and dad were impressed!

(Linda, smiles):  Really?

(Molly, on phone):  Yes!  Abby was so jealous!

(Linda, laughs):  I bet she was!

(Molly, on phone):  Misty told me to tell you she likes the way the two of you kick tail!

(Linda):  Well, tell Misty we said thanks. (wondering) Oh, did Abby try to tell Dad on us?

(Molly, on phone):  Yep, and he asked her why she was bothering you on your day off.

(Linda):  What did she say?

(Molly, on phone):  Nothing, she just walked away.

(Linda, giggles):  Well, thanks for calling us.

(Molly, on phone):  Anytime, sis!  Goodbye!

(Linda):  Goodbye!

She hangs up the phone.

(Linda, smiling at Marauder):  Now, where were we?

They kiss.

THE END
