Dog Man: Fetch-22 with Petey and Maddie

Chapter 4: Visiting Grampa

"Hi, I'm Sarah Hatoff with breaking news!"

Today, Sarah Hatoff was on another news report. She was with Chief at the time. "A drug company has recalled all jars of Supa Brain Dots," Sarah continued.

"But don't worry, folks," Chief assured the viewers before holding up a photo of Dog Man. "Right now, my most trusted officer is going to every store in the city and collecting jars  of this dangerous drug. With Dog Man in charge, what could possibly go wrong?"

Chief had an confident look on his face. Then he had a doubtful look. "Really? Sarah asked.

Meanwhile, Dog Man was walking with a wagon, intent on collecting the jars of Supa Brain Dots. He walked into a store and came back out with jars of Supa Brain Dots.

The clerk looked at him with a glare. "Hey!" She shouted. Dog Man jumped and dropped the jars. He looked at the clerk as she held a recycling bin. "Aren't you going to recycle those at least?"

Dog Man opened up one of the jars, dumped the Supa Brain Dots into the wagon and threw it into the recycling bin, the jar hitting the clerk's head before falling into the bin.

He did the same thing with the rest of the jars, them hitting the clerk before falling into the recycling bin. The clerk glared at Dog Man after he threw out the last jar. "Get out of here, now!" She ordered, causing Dog Man to flee, taking the wagon with him.

Meanwhile, the Fair Fairy was walking into the forest, upset about Sam firing her. "It's so unfair," she complained, dragging the chair with her. "I can't believe Larry fired me!"

"I can," Downward Dog told her. "He shoulda fired you a loooooong time ago, dude."

"No one asked you, Downward Dog," Fair Fairy said sternly.

"Whatevs," Downward Dog said.

"I must get my revenge," Fair Fairy continued. "I must find a way to make thing fair."

Fair Fairy sat in the chair in front of a pond. "Let me think. What I need is a miracle."

"Mirror, mirror, by the tree, who's the fairest, is it me?"

"Yeah!" A voice answered, surprising Fair Fairy, causing her wig to fall up into the air before falling back to her head.

"Who said that?" Fair Fairy demanded.

That was when a tadpole appeared. "I did," she answered.

"What the heck is that thing?" Fair Fairy asked Downward Dog.

"I think it's a tadpole, dude," Downward Dog told her.

"Are you our momma?" The tadpole asked as another showed up.

"Look, there's two of them," Fair Fairy said in shock.

Two more showed up.

"I think she's our momma!"

She's a nice momma!"

I love you, Mom!"

"I love her, too!"

Fair Fairy counted as more tadpoles showed up. "Now there's four..five.. seven..ten.. where are they all coming from?"

"Hello, Mommy!"

"What's up, Mom?"

"Hi, Mom!"

"I think they're hatching right now," Downward Dog told her.

"Why are they all calling me 'mom'?" Fair Fairy asked.

"Dude, it's called imprinting," Downward Dog told Fair Fairy. "Look it up."

Fair Fairy counted as more tadpoles showed up. "Eighteen...nineteen...twenty.."

"Hiya, Mommy!"

"Mom, look at me!"

"She's the best mommy I've ever had!"

"She's so awesome!"

"We love you, Mom!"

"She's so pretty!"

"Twenty-one...twenty-two..." The Fair Fairy started sobbing.

"Why are you crying, dude?" Downward Dog asked.

"It's not fair!" Fair Fairy said. "All I asked for was a miracle, but instead I got twenty-two baby tadpoles who think I'm their mom!"

"AND STOP CALLING ME 'DUDE'!"

Meanwhile, Petey, Maddie, and Lil' Petey were walking to cat jail. "I can't believe you two talked me into visiting Grampa," Petey told Lil' Petey and Maddie. "He's just going to betray us again."

"Maybe he will, maybe he won't," Maddie said. "But don't you think we should give him another chance?"

"No, I don't," Petey said. "You can't just go around trusting everybody!"

"I know, Papa," Lil' Petey said. "Some people are hard to love. That just means you just gotta try harder."

Petey slapped his forehead once Lil' Petey said that. "Hey, Papa, guess what?" Lil' Petey asked.

"What?" Petey asked.

"You and Maddie are easy to love," Lil' Petey said.

"Yeah, we know," Petey said.

"You know what my grandma always says, Petey," Maddie said. "Forgive and forget."

Inside cat jail, the guard opened the cell Grampa was in. "Oh, Gramps," he greeted.

"What?" Grampa asked, sounding annoyed.

"Hey, what's going on?" He asked, growing suspicious. "Are you concocting some sort of sleep gas or something?"

Grampa was reading a book, and there were chemical tubes on his table, and boxes of sleep gas formula, sleepy  head tea, and sleep pills were next to the table.

"No," Grampa lied.

"Oh good, that's a relief," the guard said, despite seeing the chemicals and the boxes. "Well, come with me. You've got three visitors."

"I knew they'd come," Grampa said with a evil smile. "Hang on a second."

Grampa dropped some chemicals into one of the tubes. The chemical started to bubble up, and Grampa placed a balloon on the edges. The balloon was filled up with the chemical. Grampa removed the balloon and tied it to a string.

"Alright, let's see those visitors," Grampa said, walking with the guard, holding a balloon and  a purple bag. Grampa walked into the visiting room, where Petey, Lil' Petey, and Maddie were waiting.

"Hi, guys," Grampa greeted. "I've missed you so much, son."

"Yeah, right," Petey said.

"And I've missed you two most of all, Maddie and Lil' Ralphie," Grampa said, looking at Maddie and Lil' Petey.

"Lil' Petey," Lil' Petey corrected.

"Yeah, Lil' Petey, that's what I said," Grampa said before giving Lil' Petey the balloon. "Look, I brought you a present."

"Thanks, Grampa," Lil' Petey said, taking the balloon with a smile.

"And I even brought something for me," Grampa said, reaching into his bag. "A pin..and a gas mask."

"No, wait!"

Grampa placed the gas mask on before then popping the balloon with the pin. Gas filled the room, making Maddie, Petey, and Lil' Petey drowsy.

"Don't worry, it's just a harmless sleep gas," Grampa said as Petey, Maddie, and Lil' Petey fell asleep from breathing into the gas. "By the time you wake up, I'll be free."
