In Need Of Help (Open)

[Nostalgia Chick]

(August 13th. Morning.)

Pongo lays on the back porch. He'd arrived the night before found some water and gone to bed hungry too tired to move any further. But as he got up his stomach grumbled but he had no idea where he was. Or if London or the farm was close by.

"Hello? Is someone there? I could use some help." said Pongo.

Pongo smiled at the human who came out and offered to get him something to eat. But then realized she had heard him and was confused.

"Can you understand me?" asked Pongo.

He was left speechless as she spoke and looked confused.

"Humans and animals can talk to each other. Amazing." said Roger.

Before he could eat he was shocked to see Rolly and Freckles run up to him and he nuzzled them back.

"Rolly! Freckles! I've missed you both." said Pongo.

Nostalgia Chick yawned as she walked into the kitchen. She was wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans and was barefoot. She started making some coffee when she heard a voice coming from the back porch. They usually came through the front door but perhaps this was a new arrival.

"Yes, I'm here. Can I help you?" asked Nostalgia Chick.

The voice sounded familiar but she couldn't place it. But as she opened the door she spotted Pongo.

"Pongo!" said Nostalgia Chick.

But as she looked at him the poor animal looked tired and hungry. And she could hear his stomach growling.

"Come in. I'm sure I can find you something to eat." said Nostalgia Chick.

She paused at Pongo's question and nodded.

"Yes. It's a long story but thanks to a lot of magic and science and the war going on people can talk to animals. Well most animals. Some still can't talk to us." said Chick.

Rolly and Freckles walked downstairs hearing voices. They were taking turns at both houses now since the extra base was no longer a secret. As they got closer they saw Pongo and rushed up to him nuzzling him.

"Dad!" said Rolly.

"Dad! You're here!" said Freckles.

[Perdita]

Pepper, Darla, Cadpig heard the cries of Rolly and Freckles. Their curiosity got the best of them too and they noticed with utter delight that their FATHER was now here. Cadpig and Pepper had expressed relief at their mother, feeling her tenderness finally give them peace. But now with both parents they both felt safer then ever before. Darla was immensely fond of the radcliffe dalmatian couple, viewing them as genuine family, but she viewed them as wonderful guardians and friends. She never exactly viewed them as her parents but she still cared about them. So seeing them made her happy, and relief that her love Rolly and bestest friend Cadpig finally had their parents. Darla did however refer to them as aunt or uncle even though they weren't. Darla said joyfully "Uncle Pongo! You're here! You made it! We were worried!"

"Dad! Dad you're here!" Cadpig was beyond excited. She was so stressed about the loss of certain siblings, but she had finally healed thanks to Rolly and Darla getting her back on her feet. Still, Perdita's arrival sometime before plus this was a absolute joy. Cadpig, with some tears in her eyes, raced to her father. She replied joyfully "You're actually here!"

"Dad! Oh my goodness! You're back! You finally made it!" Pepper was estactic. Pepper had a particular fondness for her father, similar to her sister Penny, as she was somewhat of a tomboy. She raced also, nuzzling Pongo with gusto "Mom's gonna be so excited!" Pepper then smiled as Perdita came down too.

Lucky sniffed his father out almost immediately. He was busy talking to his mother actually. Lucky sniffed and asked his mother "Mom? You smell that?" Lucky then smiled as she confirmed his suspicions. With her following him, the pup raced to see Pongo. With a yip of joy, he replied with utter delight "Dad! Dad! You found us!" He then raced to Pongo, giving him a tender hug and nuzzled.

Perdita was stunned as her mate's familiar scent came into her line of smell. She sniffed, as did her son and she nodded "Yes, dear. I think that's your father!" She followed lucky and smiled in delight, relief and excitement at the sight of her husband. She allowed the children to greet Pongo first. She then eventually went over, immediately nuzzling him and licking his cheek in relief "Oh pongo, darling, you're here! I'm so glad you're here!"
