It was yet another active day on Dearly Farm. The pups were running around playing, the chickens were laying eggs, and the humans were doing their daily chores.

Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig were on their way to the hen house to pick up Spot. They had another fun day planned for today with her.
When they arrived, they were surprised to see the chickens all flying out of the hen house in panic.

"What's going on?" Lucky wondered.

"Something doesn't smell right," said Rolly.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good," said Cadpig.

Just then, when all the hens escaped, they saw what was going on. A chicken hawk had somehow gotten into the hen house!  Where he came from exactly was a mystery, but whatever the case may be, the pups knew they had to stop this menace.  They went after the chicken hawk and tried to fight him, but he was too strong and didn't take the pups seriously.  He managed to catch Spot since she wasn't as good a flyer as the other chickens, and he ran off with her.

"He's got Spot!" Cadpig screamed.

At that moment, they noticed Cornelia crying and panicking over her daughter getting kidnapped.

"Don't worry, Cornelia," Rolly comforted. "We'll save her."

"She is our best friend, you know," said Cadpig.

"You can count on us!" said Lucky.

The pups turned back around to see where the chicken hawk ran off too, but they had lost him.  Fortunately, Rolly managed to pick up his scent, so Lucky and Cadpig followed Rolly as his nose led the way.

It wasn't long until the pups made it to the chicken hawk's nest.

"This is the place," he said. "Spot is definitely in there."

Cadpig's ears picked up what was going on inside. "Oh no!" she gasped. "They're gonna eat her!"

"They are?" asked Rolly.

"Yes, Rolly," Cadpig answered. "That's what chicken hawks do. They eat chickens!"

"Man, and I thought Scorch and Steven were bad enough," said Lucky.

"What are we going to do, Lucky?" asked Rolly.

"Like we always do," said Lucky. "As true friends, we're gonna save her!  We're gonna break in there, fight off those chicken hawks, and blow her out of there, just like what Thunderbolt did in Season 2, Episode 14!"

"Are you crazy?" Cadpig gasped. "Do you remember how brutal that chicken hawk was?  He's like a pro wrestler compared to us!  He will not take kindly to us at all!"

"Hmm, good point," said Lucky as he tried to think of an alternate plan. Then he remembered Season 3, Episode 16 of Thunderbolt, and this sparked an idea. "In that case, I've got a better plan, but I'm going to need your help with it, and I'm positive this will work."

Meanwhile, the chicken hawk and his wife were preparing to eat Spot.  He drooled looking at Spot while his wife prepared the pot and some vegetables.

"You could have gotten a bigger chicken you know, Quello," said the female hawk.

"I know, Tandra," said Quello, "but this one was easy to catch."

"Well, we are trying to cut back anyway," said Tandra.

"Yeah!  All the more reason to let me go!" Spot cried.

"Quiet, you!" snapped Quello.

Suddenly, Tandra jumped when she heard a buzz cone from the door. "Quello, did you install a door buzzer?" she asked her husband.

"Nope," said Quello.

"Whatever," Tandra said. "Answer the door."

"Why me?" asked Quello.

"Because I'm getting dinner ready!" said Tandra. "You're just sitting there doing nothing!  Now, go!"

Quello grumbled and walked to the door.  Who was at the door was a misbalanced figure in a trench coat. Little did he know, this was actually Lucky, Cadpig and Rolly in disguise.

"Hello, sir," said Lucky in a fairly deep voice.  "I am an official food inspector. I go door to door to inspect the food supply for animals to see if they are safe to eat."

Quello was a bit confused but was gullible enough to let the pups in.  Rolly slowly walked in while Lucky and Cadpig did their best not to lose balance.

"So you are chicken hawks, eh?" asked Lucky. "That means your diet must consist of chickens, an I right?"

"That's right," said Quello.

Suddenly, Rolly sneezed.

Cadpig said, "Gesundheit."

Lucky kicked Cadpig signaling her to keep her mouth shut.

Quello blinked, "What was that?"

"Oh, you must excuse me," said Lucky. "I suffer from Sneezing Shin Syndrome and Talking Stomach Syndrome."

"Sounds like your stomach is female," said Quello.

Lucky nodded as he sweatdropped.

Quello showed Spot to the pups. "You came just in time," he said. "We are just about to cook this chicken I just caught today."

Spot saw through the pups' disguise and winked at Lucky.

Lucky examined Spot carefully. "I'm sorry, but this chicken doesn't have enough meat on her to subside the both of you.  I'm afraid I will have to dispose of it."

"I told you you should have gotten a bigger chicken, Quello," snapped Tandra.

Lucky grabbed Spot and said, "I shall be on my way now."

"Wait a minute," said Quello. "We have more food here than just that. Shouldn't you inspect these vegetables we are about to cook too?"

Lucky sighed, "Very well."

"Hurry, Lucky!" Cadpig whispered. "I don't know how much longer we can hold up!"

Hearing Cadpig, Lucky said to the hawks, "Make it quick, please. I'm on a very tight schedule."

Tandra started listing off the ingredients in the stew she was making. Rolly overheard all this and started to get hungry, plus his nose picked up the intoxicating bouquet of all the combined ingredients cooking in the pot.  He couldn't take it anymore. He emerged from the coat and exclaimed, "Oh, papa!  Bon appetit!"

Of course, the costume fell apart revealing the true identities of the pups.

"Exposed!" Cadpig gasped.

"Hey!  You're the pups from earlier!" said Quello.

"Scram!" shouted Lucky. And they all managed to barely escape the chicken hawks.

"I should've known there was something fishy about that man," said Quello.

Hearing Quello say "fishy" made Tandra's stomach grumble. She thought about eating fish. "Hey, we should have fish tonight instead," she said.

"But we're chicken hawks," said Quello.

"I know," said Tandra, "but it wouldn't hurt to try something new for once. Plus fish is healthier and easier to catch."

Quello agreed to the idea and decided to go fishing.

Back at the barn, Cornelia was relieved to have her daughter back safe and sound.

Later that night, Lucky told the story to Pongo and Perdita and all the other pups.

"We have raised such incredible pups," said Pongo. "Who would've thought they'd be able to perform such a rescue, and after what we did to save all them?"

Just then, Perdita's stomach let out a very loud growl. She blushed and said, "I guess my stomach could use some Kibble.  Watching over 99 children can sure make me hungry."

"Well, we may not have to worry too much about that," said Pongo. "After hearing Lucky's story, I'm convinced that these pups are able to fend for themselves."

"I guess you're right, Pongo," said Perdita. "I should stop worrying. Our pups will be just fine without us."

Little did they know, something tragic was about to happen to their puppies tonight!

Cruella had been going through a mid-life crisis when she was cleaning out her closet and discovered some old receipts from when she was into fur coats. This inspired her to relive the glory days and go back to her old scheme of making the puppies into fur coats!  She had her cousin, P.H. De Vil, set up a new security system around her house and build indestructible robots to do her bidding!

The next day, Pongo and Perdita woke up and noticed all of their puppies were missing. At first they thought maybe they were having adventures again, but it seemed unusual because they could not find a single pup on the farm anywhere. Perdita started to get really worried.

Just then, Pongo picked up the sound of barking. Lucky had been sending him a message through barking. It turns out all 99 puppies have been kidnapped by Cruella's robots overnight and are being held hostage at Villa De Vil while Cruella plots to make them into fur coats!

"Oh, dear!" Perdita cried. "Cruella is back to her old self again!"

"I didn't think this day would ever come, but it has!" said Pongo.

Roger and Anita noticed the puppies were missing too. They received a note from Cruella saying that she had the puppies and she would only return them if they sold the farm to her.  Roger and Anita took their time deciding what to do and which was more important: their dogs, or their home. Fortunately, Cruella promised not to have anything happen to the puppies until the Dearly's made their decision.

Pongo didn't want to put up with this. He knew the right thing to do was break the puppies out of there.  "Come on, Perdy," she said. "Let's go rescue our puppies!"

"Just like old times!" said Perdita as she followed Pongo to Villa De Vil.

When they arrived, they secretly crept onto the perimeter of Cruella's yard. However, they were unaware of the new security system Cruella had installed in her house. It was programmed to make sure Pongo and Perdita would not enter the mansion if spotted.  Just then, two robots came rushing out, grabbed Pongo and Perdita and kicked them out.

"What was that?" Asked Perdita.

"I don't know," said Pongo. "They were like robot guards."

"I don't remember Cruella having any robots at her house," said Perdita.

"Cruella must have just had them installed," said Pongo.

"Oh, Pongo," Perdita cried. "How are we going to save our puppies?"

"I don't know, Perdy," said Pongo, "but somehow, we have to, and getting in there is going to be a lot tougher than I thought."

"I don't think rolling in the soot is going to do us any good," said Perdita.

At that moment, Pongo saw the mailman walking up to the front gate.  A robotic Eye came out and scanned him. "Human being. Permission granted." it said. The gates opened, and the mailman walked in to deliver Cruella's mail.  This sparked an idea into Pongo's head.

"Perdy, I've got an idea!" he said. "Come on. Let's go back to the farm, and I'll explain."

So they went back to the farm and went inside the house. Pongo looked around to make sure Roger and Anita were nowhere in sight.

"The coast is clear," he said. "Come on, Perdy.  To the bedroom."

Perdita followed Pongo up to the bedroom.

"So what is your plan, Pongo?" asked Perdita.

Pongo explained, "I think I figured out these robots Cruella had are programmed to keep dogs out of her mansion, so as to prevent us from rescuing our puppies, which I admit is a brilliant scheme; she must have learned from her past mistakes.  However, I just saw how the security system let the mailman in, so I figured they must allow humans in.  So I figured if we looked like a human, we can sneak in there and save our puppies."

"Hmm," Perdita thought. "Not bad. It just might work."

Pongo went into the closet and pulled out Roger's trench coat and fedora hat. "We'll use Roger's coat and hat to disguise ourselves."

"Shouldn't we get two coats since there are two of us?" asked Perdita. "Doesn't Anita have a coat too?"

"One coat is all we need, Perdy," said Pongo.  "I'll be wearing the coat and hat while you hoist me up on your shoulders."

At first, Perdita thought her husband was out of his mind, but she agreed to do it. She will do anything to save her puppies, even if she has to go to great lengths.

The two of them went outside back onto ground level and started assembling their disguise.

"I admit, I was inspired by Lucky's story to come up with this," Pongo said as he slipped on the coat and hat.  He also put on a pair of comic glasses to hide his dog snout.

Perdita positioned herself ready for Pongo to climb onto her.

Pongo climbed onto Perdita's shoulders.

"Okay," said Perdita. "One, two, three."  She pushed herself up so that she was now standing on her hind legs. They wobbled a bit, but Perdita managed to get herself situated.  She wrapped her front legs around Pongo's hind legs.

"Okay. Ready, Perdy?" asked Pongo.

"Ready, Pongo," said Perdita.

Pongo closed up the coat. Now, only Perdita's legs were visible.

"Okay, Perdy," said Pongo. "Forward."

Perdita started slowly walking forward. Pongo was quite a weight for her, but she managed to support him with ease.  Pongo guided her as she walked.

"Can't you go any faster?" Pongo asked Perdita.

"Hey, you made me the legs, so I'll decide how fast we go," answered Perdita. "Besides, I'm walking on my hind legs and carrying a lot of weight. This isn't all that easy."

Secretly, Perdita was wondering why she was on the bottom considering Pongo was larger and heavier than her, but she chose not to complain about it, after all, she was doing this for her Puppies, whose lives were at stake right now.

They arrived back at the front gate, and Pongo said to Perdita, "And stop."

Perdita stopped.

"Are we in yet?" she asked Pongo in a hushed whisper.

"Not yet," said Pongo. "We're just at the front gate, so stay quiet for now."

The same robot from Before came out and scanned the disguised dogs. "Human being. Permission granted."  The gates opened.

"Forward, Perdy," Pongo said to Perdita.

Perdita started walking forward until they got up to the front porch, and then she stopped. She poked her head out of the coat and looked up at Pongo. "Alright!  We're in!" she whispered.

"Now, let's just hope this works," said Pongo as he rang the doorbell.

Cruella heard the doorbell and ordered Horace and Jasper to go Answer it.  So they did.

When the two dogs heard the door opening, Perdita quickly pulled her head back into the coat and buttoned it back up.

"Good afternoon, sir," said Horace. "How may we help you?"

Pongo hesitated. He then remembered that since he is a dog, he can't talk to humans. He didn't think about that. So he used hand motions to try to get Horace and Jasper to understand him.

"Oh, you must be a mute," said Jasper. "Our apologies."

"Why don't you come in, sir?" Horace said.

Perdita walked inside. She wobbled a bit but managed to regain her balance.

Pongo then noticed the puppies locked up in a big cage.  He gasped. "Look, Perdy," he whispered. "There they are!"

Perdita peeked out of the coat. "We need to figure out how we are going to get them out of here!" she whispered.

"You need something, sir?" asked Horace.

Hearing Horace, Pongo quickly shoved Perdita's head back into the coat and closed it back up so as not to look suspicious.

"Ah, you probably noticed the puppies over there," said Jasper.

The puppies saw the commotion that was going on.

"Something is fishy here," said Lucky. "Who is this man that just walked in?"

Rolly sniffed. "Hey," he said. "It's Mom and Dad!  They're here to rescue us!"

"I knew they'd come!" said Cadpig.

"That does look like Dad's head," said Lucky. "Does that mean Mom is the one underneath?"  He then looked down and recognized Perdita's skinny legs.

"Yep. It's her alright," said Rolly.

"Wow. Mom sure is a strong dog!" said Cadpig. Then she added, "Relatively speaking, of course."

"Cruella plans to make coats out of these pups," said Horace.

Jasper bonked Horace on the head. "Horace!  You shouldn't have said that!" he interjected.

"What did I say?" asked Horace.

"If this guy knows our scheme, he'll report us to the police, and..." Jasper started to say until he looked at Pongo's face. "Wait a minute. There's something familiar about this man."

Pongo sweatdropped fearing the Badduns might be seeing through his disguise.

Underneath the coat, Perdita heard Jasper too. She gulped.

"I know what he looks like," said Horace. "He looks like that animal rescue guy we see on the commercials."

"That's right!  That's who I'm thinking of," said Jasper.  "Maybe this is him."

"But how does he talk on the commercials if he's mute here?" asked Horace.

"Simple, Horace," explained Jasper. "They use another actor to dub his lines."

Pongo was starting to feel relieved knowing that Horace and Jasper were gullible enough to buy this act.  Suddenly, Perdita felt her nose start to itch. She felt a sneeze coming on.  Pongo felt Perdita jittering; it was tickling him a little bit. He wondered what was going on, until he heard Perdita's jibberish.  He can tell Perdy was about to sneeze. He knew this would blow their cover. If she sneezed, it could cause them to topple over, but even if they didn't, Horace and Jasper would still hear it.

"Hold it in, Perdy!" Pongo said to Perdita.

But Perdita couldn't hold it in. This sneeze was going to be a really big one!  "Uhh...ennuhuhh...eh...Aaaaaaaa...CHOOOO!"

Perdita's sneeze was so powerful that it inflated the trench coat immensely for a brief second.

After the sneeze, Pongo's heart started racing. How was he going to talk his way out of this one?

"Gesundheit!" Jasper said.

Lucky blinked. "I had no idea Mom's sneezes were that powerful!" he said.

"Wow, your sneezes are so big they come from the inside!" said Horace.

"Wait a minute!" Jasper interjected. "Horace, do you know what this means?"

Pongo's heart sank. He knew it was taps for sure now. The jig was up!

"This guy has Internal Sneezing Syndrome!" Jasper said to Horace.

"Uh-oh!  Is it contagious?" Horace asked.

"I don't know, but it might be!" Jasper answered.

Perdita was trying to hold in a laugh. It was just so ridiculous to her how dumb Horace and Jasper are at falling for this.

"I think we'd better give him what he wants, Jasper," said Horace. "You must never argue with someone with a serious disease."

"You're right, Horace," said Jasper. "He must be here for the puppies. We've got to release them to him!"

They opened up the cage, and the puppies went running out through the door.

Still in the disguise, Perdita followed the puppies still carrying Pongo on her shoulders.

Once all 101 Dalmatians returned to the farm and were out of sight from the De Vils, Pongo threw off the disguise. Perdita dropped back down on her hind legs, and Pongo got off of her.  Perdita was relieved to finally have the weight literally off her shoulders.

"Phew!  Boy, was it hot in there!" Perdita said jokingly.

"You okay after all that, Perdy?" asked Pongo.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered. "That was actually kind of fun.

"We knew you'd come to our rescue," said Lucky. "You two are the greatest parents a puppy could ever ask for."

Pongo and Perdita blushed. Those words Lucky said really made their day.

"I'm impressed at how you were able to carry Dad for quite a while, let alone like that," Cadpig said to Perdita.

"Well, I am quite strong," said Perdita. "You kind of inherited that from me, Cadpig."

Cadpig remembered the number of times she carried Lucky. "Oh, yeah. Point taken," she said.

"I was also surprised at the moment when you sneezed," said Lucky. "Since when are you capable of letting out sneezes that big?"

Perdita shrugged, "Well, I guess because I was so overwhelmed with so much anxiety, my allergies went haywire, thus resulting me in sneezing out a Gail-forced wind."

"In that case," said Pongo, "the next time you and I do a disguise like that, it'll be for something fun."

Just then, Perdita's stomach growled. She blushed under her coat. "In the meantime, let's get something to eat," she giggled. "All that work has made me hungry."

"Now you're talking my language!" panted Rolly.

So the dogs all went to the chow tower and ate.

This show was full of odd ideas, and this idea you had could easily be in the show XD I liked how you set up the situation of why Perdita and Pongo needed to do that, and I liked the personality you gave them both. The sneeze itself that Perdita did was a sweet detail and I liked that clumsy Horace and Jasper kept on saying different wrong things XD Nice story here ^^
