Jessica and the 102 Dalmatians

chapter 10

Meanwhile, back with the others...

Chloe was walking the dogs with Jessica and Atticus's help.

"So, where are we going again?" Patch asked.

"We're going to see a show." Chloe smiled before an estranged man had come with three dogs of his own and a parrot who claimed to be another dog.

"Who's that?" Atticus asked.

"Look who's here!" The parrot smiled. "Oh, blimey, I'm seeing spots!"

"Hello, Kevin." Chloe greeted the man.

"Chloe!" Kevin replied in shock. "Are you, uh...?"

"Yeah, I'm going in." Chloe nodded to him.

"I can tell that you two have met before." Atticus said.

"It's a long story." Chloe told him.

"Oh, these are your dalmatians." Kevin smiled as he looked at Dipstick and Dottie before Oddball joined the crowd with Patch beside her as she observed the parrot.

"Hello, there." Oddball greeted the parrot.

"You call that a bark?" The parrot asked Oddball. "This is a bark!" he then barked at her very loudly and aggressively which scared her away.

Oddball whimpered and then hid behind Chloe.

"Oh, that's right, go hide behind Mummy!" The parrot mocked.

"That was mean," Patch glared at the parrot. "She's just a puppy."

"Are you her daddy?" The parrot asked.

"No, I'm her Uncle Patch, and I promised that I'd protect her and keep her safe from bullies like you." Patch snarled.

Chloe began to introduce the Dalmatians and the others to Kevin before noticing Oddball hiding behind her.

"Oh, Oddball, come on out, the man won't hurt you." Jessica soothed the spotless puppy.

"Here's your change, sir." The vendor told Kevin.

"This is going to be so great." Jessica smiled.

"Don't you count your change?" Chloe asked Kevin as she carried Oddball.

"Well, why should I?" Kevin shrugged as he carried Domino.

'I have a feeling he's trying to get closer to Chloe.' Jessica thought to herself.

Soon enough, they came inside for the show with their pets with them. Patch smiled to his niece and nephews as this made him think of watching Thunderbolt on TV with his brothers, sisters, and parents.

"This is going to be so great." Oddball smiled.

"I'm sure you'll love it, Oddy." Patch smiled back.

And where she would love the show. Patch smiled to her as they watched the show. Chloe and Kevin made light conversation before the show would start. It seemed to be about Cruella. The show soon started and everyone clapped as the show started, revealing to be a puppet show and which was perfect for the puppies. The little kids in audience of course loved it too.

"Shh, it's gonna start!" The parrot scolded Kevin and Chloe for talking.

Luckily soon enough, the two human adults stopped talking.

"Hi, Mr. Punch, Hi, Judy!" The kids greeted the puppets as the lights went out to start the show.

Even the dogs joined in, especially the puppies. The parrot seemed to touch Chloe's shoulder and looked innocent so she would think that Kevin did it. Patch saw what the parrot did and had a feeling he knew why.
