Jessica and the 102 Dalmatians

chapter 12

The next morning came and Chloe talked about Kevin as she sounded like she was in love with him while Patch did some secret Pound Puppy work overnight.

"Aunt Chloe, are you in love?" Amber smirked playfully.

"What...?" Chloe blushed slightly. "Oh, no, I can't be..."

"I think you are..." Jessica insisted with a giggle as she carried Oddball for her.

"Okay, maybe I am." Chloe smiled bashfully.

Jessica giggled to this.

"You know, Dipstick, he's a lot like you," Chloe told her male dalmatian. "Sweet and solid, funny without meaning to be."

"She's right." Dottie smiled.

Dipstick blushed to his mate in response. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Chloe answered the phone as Jessica decided to put Oddball back with Little Dipper and Domino.

Oddball sat with her brothers, but soon just found herself following after Jessica like she was a lost puppy.

"Oddball, what are you doing?" Jessica giggled.

"Nuthin'." Oddball replied innocently.

"It looks like you're following me." Jessica told the puppy.

"Oh... I guess I am..." Oddball smiled sheepishly. "I really like you, Jessica."

"And I really like you too, Oddball." Jessica smiled back.

"You're really nice," Oddball smiled. "Have you ever had a dog before?"

"No, but I took really good care of Atticus when he was a baby," Jessica replied as she sat with the spotless puppy to talk with her. "I even babysat a lot when we lived on Spooner Street with my good friends, Max and PJ, I usually babysat PJ's little sister, Pistol."

"Aw." Oddball smiled.

"She was a handful..." Jessica chuckled sheepishly as she remembered the times she had to babysit Pistol for Peg and Pete while PJ and Max told her that they would pray for her to come back home alive.

"How much of a handful?" Oddball asked.

"Oh, boy, where do I begin?" Jessica held her head as she began to think of the times she had to babysit Pistol, but started with the first time.

We cut to a flashback of when Jessica lived in Spooner Street with Patrick and Emily during the time Atticus would've been a baby and she had befriended Max and PJ, even calling Goofy her 'Uncle Goofy' even though she deeply missed Beach City, especially Amethyst.

"What do you mean you can't come back again?" Peg's voice asked as she was on the phone with the old babysitter. "Pistol is a sweet and perfect little angel!"

We are then shown a hyperactive four-year-old girl chasing her family dog with a wicked laugh and the dog seemed terrified of her.

'I'm sorry, but I just will not watch over that girl anymore!' The babysitter told her.

Peg tried to talk with the babysitter to get hung up on. "Well, she refuses to come over."

"Oh, what a shame," Pete smirked to his wife. "I guess we can't go dancing tonight after all."

"NO!" Peg replied. "There must be someone who can babysit her."

"Your sister needs a new babysitter." Jessica said as she hung out with PJ and Max.

"Yeah, I feel sorry for that loser." PJ said before laughing with Max.

"Bet I could do it." Jessica replied without fear.
