The 101 Dalmatian street uncannon book series

S2 E3 Space Contest

It's basically a normal day like always on Dalmatian street. But something is a little off than it usually is. Dylan and Dawkins haven't left the treehouse all morning. Though all the pups know they are up there, they are wondering what they are doing.
Dolly climbs up into the treehouse and peaks her head up to see. But Dylan sees her and says, "Hello Sis!"

"What are you doing bros?" Dolly asks.

Dawkins clears his throat and says, "We are entering a contest."

"Wow, really? For what." Dolly asks.

Dylan shows a flyer to Dolly. The title on the poster says, "Space Contest" with all the information on the event under it.

Dolly's ears lower, "Of course."

"It's a contest for whoever knows the most about Space Science wins." Dylan says, "The prize is a Telescope!"

"Don't you already have one?" Dolly asks.

"Yes, but this one is a better model with a better lense." Dylan says, "it can see farther than what mine can."

"The Contest is an Online event. There will be over 100 people who will be competing." Dawkins says.

"You will win that easily." Dolly says, "Cause your a dork."

"There are others out there in the world that are way smarter than me." Dylan says, "These odds aren't what you think."

Dolly smiles, "So what are you planning to do?"

"I plan on studying until the event." Dylan says.

Dawkins looks up at Dylan, "Don't give your brain a blowout Dylan."

"I won't." Dylan says, "I know how much information my brain can take."

Dawkins looks back at Dolly, "The event is in 4 days."

"So I'll have plenty of time to study." Dylan says.

Dawkins looks back up at Dylan, "Yes, so don't study too much."

"Right, So I'm going to forget I ever came up here." Dolly says.

"I also have stuff I have to do." Dawkins says.

Dawkins and Dolly leave the Treehouse. Dylan stares at a pile of books in the corner of the room and smiles.

Dylan wakes up at midnight. And Dolly, Dawkins and Delilah sit in front of him.

"Alright, good. He is awake." Delilah says.

"What?" Dylan says.
It's now that Dylan realizes his headache.
"Why does my head hurt?" Dylan asks.

"I told you not to study too hard." Dawkins says. "You given yourself a blowout."

"Dylan, you can't participate in that online contest. There is a chance you'll go into a comma if you try to use your brain." Delilah says.

Tears start to slowly flow from Dylan's eyes.

"Dawkins, can't you do the contest?" Dolly asks.

"Dolly, I'm too young." Dawkins says. "The contest is for pups who are 12 and up."

Dolly begins to feel bad for Dylan so she says, "I can do the contest."

Dawkins looks at Dolly with a surprised expression, "You don't know the first thing about space Dolly."

Dolly looks at Dawkins and smiles, "Well looks like I'll have to learn, teach me Dawkins."

"We still have 2 days until the Competition, perhaps I can teach you some things." Dawkins says.

Dolly and Dawkins are in the living room the next morning. A whiteboard sits in the middle of the room.
"Alright, first things First. You need to grasp the basics of space. We will start with the first Rockets to go into space."

Dawkins starts to explain the structure of the first Rocket to reach the upper atmosphere. But as Dawkins is talking, Dolly is starting to fall asleep.

"HEY, THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO SLEEP!" Dawkins says tapping Dolly on the head.

Dolly shoots her head up, "Yeah, what? I'm awake."

"Good." Dawkins says. "Pay attention."

A few hours go by and Dawkins starts to talk about the tragedies of Apollo 1 and Apollo 13. (I went and Did research too).
It's actually at this point where Dolly is starting to listen more.

"Wow, and they couldn't get the hatch of Apollo 1 open cause of what?" Dolly asks.

"Latches that could only be undone by ratchets, Latches that could only be undone by the command center, and there being more pressure inside the capsule than on the outside of the capsule. It took them 90 minutes to get the capsule door open........ But, it was too late for the crew that was inside." Dawkins says looking up at the ceiling.

"Wow" Dolly says, "That's Sad."

A few more hours pass and Dawkins is done teaching Dolly everything he knows about space.

"I'm ready to win this Contest!" Dolly says.

"Well I hope you are. It took a day to teach you everything and you have only four minutes until the competition starts." Dawkins says.

"Wait, it's been a full day?" Dolly asks.

"Yep." Dawkins replies.

Dawkins and Dolly hurry up to the Treehouse and Dylan is on a beanbag asleep.

"Here." Dawkins says handing Dolly a computer, "I already have the contest ready."

Dolly takes the Computer and looks at the questions, and if you were her, you would even say her mind went blank.
Dawkins snaps his paws, "Dolly focus. Everything I taught you was for this."

Dolly smiles and then starts to answer the questions. It's not a long test, 34 questions at most. By the time Dolly is done with the test. Dylan is waking up.

"Well, so much for that new Telescope." Dylan says.

"Actually, these is still a small chance." Dawkins says.

Dolly sits behind Dawkins next to the computer.

"Wait, Dolly participated in the competition?" Dylan.

"Yep." Dawkins says.

"Well now I know I'm not getting that telescope." Dylan says.

"Well you will have to wait until they announce the winner in....... 9 minutes." Dawkins says.

After the 9 minutes pass, it's time for them to announce the winner.
The text on screen reads, "Dylan Dalmatian."

Dylan, with a surprised look says, "What? How?"

"I taught her." Dawkins says.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh." Dylan says, "That makes so much more sense."

"Well," Dolly says hugging Dylan, "You can enjoy your new telescope."

Dylan smiles and says, "Thank you Dolly."
