 |
|
Written By Betsy Goodrich It all starts in New York City. Ms. Marvel and Spacepuppy, were in their secret identities of Betsy Goodrich And Roscoe Peter Gravytrain. They were accompanied by their beloved, daredevil soldier boy, Earl Schweiss, on an exciting trip to the Model United Nations, at the real United Nations. Betsy: What do you want me and Roscoe to do, Earl?!? Earl: Why don't you two go and explore Manhattan and go visit some of their interesting attractions?!? Roscoe: Rrreff! Rrreefff! Earl: What is it, girl?!? Roscoe: Hmmm! Hmmm! Whimper! Earl: Oh, you want to go for a walk?!? Why don't you visit Central Park?!? They have lots of doggies for you to play with?!? Roscoe: RRREEEFFF!!!! Betsy: I think she is saying "What are we waiting for? Let's Go!" Meanwhile, The Kingpin is planning something that will not be too good for the people of New York City............. Kingpin: Gentlemen, we must do something about our common foes, Spider-Man, Daredevil and that wretched mangy mutt that he has! Doctor Octopus: May I suggest that we lure them into my squid tank, Kingpin?!? Kingpin: NO, you moron! Do you have any ideas,Electro?!? Electro: How about causing a great electric brownout?!? Kingpin: NO! How about you, Typhoid Mary?!? Don't say a word! You would give me a headache! Maybe you can do something, Bombshell?!? Bombshell: Count me in, boss! I'll use my lethal explosive charms and get those heroes! Kingpin: Typhoid Mary will join you! Typhoid Mary: Are you nuts?!? I ought to zap you with my telekinetic powers! Kingpin: Save your powers for the battle ahead, dear Mary. You might need them to get not only Daredevil, but also get his mangy mutt! Good luck, ladies! Meanwhile, on Park Avenue, Betsy and Roscoe were heading to Central Park, when Betsy's Precognitive Seventh Sense kicked in............. Betsy (In telepathic mode): Oh, no! My Seventh Sense tells me that two superheroes and a fellow doggie are in dire peril. (In Speaking Voice) Come on, Roscoe. Central Park will have to wait. It is time for a change! (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRWHHAMMMMM!) Ms. Marvel: Ms. Marvel! Ms. Marvel! Away! Spacepuppy: Spacepuppy! Spacepuppy! Away! As our heroes take off into the midday sky, Spider-Man was swinging around New York when he noticed Ms. Marvel And Spacepuppy! Spider-Man: It's Ms. Marvel And Spacepuppy. (Laughs) You know, if I ask her real nicely, maybe she'll scare J.Jonah Jameson into believing that superheroes are indeed real! Meanwhile, at the law firm of Murdock and Nelson, Deuce and Foggy Nelson are playing Tug-o-war with Foggy's old Argyle socks......................... Deuce: RRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Foggy: OK, Deuce! You win again! At least your teeth are getting real strong. Matt Murdock: Deuce, are you playing with Foggy's socks again?!? Deuce: Whimper! Whimper! Matt: It is OK, boy! I forgive you. Deuce wagged his tail and fetched his harness/leash as if to say: Are we going out for a walk?!? Matt: Well, it must be that time again for your walk. OK, Deuce. Let's go! Deuce: WOOF! WOOF! Meanwhile, at the United Nations............... Earl: I sure wish Betsy and Roscoe were here. They would have loved being here, taking a tour of this great place. Just at that moment, an explosion blasted through the main doorway of the United Nations............. Kingpin: Don't anyone move! If any of you dares to play hero, a price will be paid in many lives! Spider-Man: Hey, Fatso! Leave them alone! Kingpin: It's Spider-Man! Daredevil: Hey, Kingpin! Have you forgotten about me?!? Kingpin: Blast it! It is that Man Without Fear and his mangy mutt! Typhoid Mary! Bombshell! Take care of them! Bombshell: Right away,boss! Get a hostage, Mary. Typhoid Mary: Hold it right there, handsome! Earl: Let me go, you little punkette. Typhoid Mary: So, the good looking hunk is resisting me?!? Well, handsome. Prepare to meet your doom! Just at that moment, Ms. Marvel And Spacepuppy appeared... Ms. Marvel: Not if I can help it! Kingpin: Who said that?!? Ms. Marvel: I did! I am Ms. Marvel, Princess Of Kree-Lar, and defender of the Earth. Spacepuppy: I am Spacepuppy, faithful Kree Warrior canine! Let Earl Schweiss go or face my milk teeth! Kingpin: OK, you wretched little girl. You asked for it! Your boyfriend is going to get it! Spacepuppy: Not if I can stop you, you mean tub of lard! Just at that moment, Deuce The Devil Dog bites Kingpin. Kingpin: EEEEYOWWW! Get off of me, you mangy mutt! Spacepuppy: Mutt! I'll teach you NOT to call that handsome hunk of a doggie that, you mean man! Spacepuppy flies to the Kingpin's coatsleeve and tears it off with her milk teeth. Deuce: WO-WOOOF! Spacepuppy: Are you OK?!? Deuce: WOOF! WOOF! Spacepuppy: We got to stop Typhoid Mary from hurting Earl. As these heroic pups were about to get Typhoid Mary, she was thrown across the room by Ms. Marvel. Ms. Marvel: That will teach you not to mess with my Earl, you evil lady! Typhoid Mary: Bombshell, let's get out of here! That Ms. Marvel is too dangerous! Bombshell: You are telling me, Mary. She turned my bombs into candlewax! Ms. Marvel: Are you guys OK? Spider-Man: I am fine, thanks to you, Ms. M. Deuce: WOO-WOOOFFF! Daredevil: Deuce, what happened?!? Who saved us?!? Spider-Man: I think what Deuce is trying to say is that Ms. Marvel's dog, Spacepuppy helped out and saved us! Deuce: WOO-WOOOF! Daredevil: Deuce! You found yourself a girlfriend?!? I am so proud of you! (To Spacepuppy) Anyone who is a friend of Deuce, is a friend to me. Spacepuppy: Ms. Marvel. Something is not right about Daredevil. Ms. Marvel: What is it, Girl?!? Spacepuppy: He can't see me. He's blind! Ms. Marvel: I don't understand, Daredevil. Spacepuppy says that you can't see. Daredevil: I lost my sight in a freak accident, when I was a teenager. Ms.Marvel: I know how it feels to have been not like the others. Spider-Man, I know that you got your powers from a radioactive spider, but I got these powers in a freak accident at a residential camp, in which the radiation from an exploding alien machine gave me and my faithful puppy dog these powers. Oh no! Spider-Man: What's wrong, Ms. M? Ms. Marvel: I almost forgot about Earl. Earl, are you OK? Earl: I am OK, Ms. Marvel. Spacepuppy: What about me?!? Earl: And you too, Spacepuppy! Spacepuppy licks Earl Schweiss on the face, with her pink tougue. Spacepuppy: Lapp! Lapp! SLURP! Earl: Ms. Marvel, have you seen Betsy and Roscoe?!? Ms. Marvel: No, Earl. If I know them, they went to that kewl toy store, FOB SQUARTZ and see all the kewl toys and cute puppies and kittens. Earl: You know, Ms. M, I may want to visit that place. Anyway, since the events at the UN got cancelled for the day, I might as well take in some sightseeing. Ms. Marvel: Good idea. Why don't you visit some kewl sites that Spider-Man has passed through?!? Like the Empire State Building, The World Trade Center, The Statue Of Liberty, The Daily Bugle, Lacy's Department Store and of course Marvel Comics! Earl: OK, Ms. M. But, please be careful. Ms. Marvel: Don't worry, Earl. I will do that. Spider-Man: Say, Ms. M. Would you like to join me at the Daily Bugle and put their editor-in-chief in his place?!? Ms. Marvel: And who could that be, Spidey?!? Spider-Man: J. Jonah Jameson. Ms. Marvel: I heard about him. He said bad things about the Federal Special Education Laws and thinks that children and teenagers with disabilities SHOULD NOT be allowed to go to school with non-disabled children and teenagers. Well, let's go see this mean man. Spacepuppy: Ms. Marvel, is it OK if I go with Daredevil and Deuce?!? Ms.Marvel: Why, Spacepuppy?!? You want to go on a date with Deuce?!? You have my permission. Spacepuppy: Thank you, my heroic master. Come on, Deuce. Show me your city! Deuce: WOOO-WOOOOF!!!! Daredevil: Easy, Deuce. (To Spacepuppy) You will have to excuse Deuce. Sometimes he forgets that he is a taxpaying puppy dog. Spacepuppy: I understand, Daredevil. At least I now understand why Deucie is your "eyes". He must be a true seeing-eyed watchdog, who is sworn to protect and defend you from the bad people. Daredevil: Thank you, Spacepuppy. Deuce: WOOO-WOOOFFFF! Daredevil: Easy, Deuce. (To Spacepuppy) You have to understand that Deuce has good taste for the ladies, whether they are human or dog. Spacepuppy: I understand. After all, it is not everyday that you get the honor of dealing with a heroic puppy that can talk doggie English and could translate what Deuce is saying. Daredevil: You are right, Spacepuppy. Let's go find a nice local Pizza cart and get the two of you some nice fresh pizza slices. Spacepuppy: Pizza! I love pizza! What are we waiting for?!? Let's go get some pizza! On that note, let's head to the Daily Bugle, where we find J. Jonah Jameson, talking to Robbie Robertson and sounding not too pleased............ JJJ: Robbie, that Spider-Man is getting to me. If there is one thing I can't stand is that wretched wall-crawler showing his support for people with disabilities. Robbie: But, Jonah. Do you realize that here in New York City, that we are number one in the nation, with the most students in Special Education?!? JJJ: I don't care, Robbie! And, if that wall-crawling menace tries to convince me differently........... Ms. Marvel: What about Spider-Man?!? How about me?!? JJJ: Oh, No! It's that wretched female ally of that blasted wall-crawler! And, she is as much trouble as Spider-Man! Ms. Marvel: Oh, Am I?!? Well, let me show you how I do it! Ms. Marvel uses her Kree-Larian Magic Powers to zap JJJ into mid-air, thus making him airsick........... JJJ: Put me down! I'm getting airsick! Ms.Marvel: Shall I put him down gently or should I put him down hard?!? Robbie: I think you should put him down gently. I think he has finally gotten the message! Ms.Marvel gently puts JJJ down and as he lands, he runs out of his office and runs to the Men's restroom.......... Ms.Marvel: I hope I was not too hard on him. All I wanted to do was to tell Mr. Jameson to please stop picking on Spider-Man and stop being mean to special ed kids. Robbie: No, I do not think you were not too hard on him. I think you did OK. Ms. Marvel: I hope he has learned his lesson! Robbie: I hope so, too. Meanwhile, at a nearby pizza cart................ Spacepuppy: Yummy! You were right, Deuce. This pizza is SOO GOOD! The String Cheese on this pizza is good exercise for my milk teeth! Deuce: WOO-WOOOF! Spacepuppy: You agree with me?!? Why, Deucie! You do care about me! I love you inasmuch as I love my master, Ms. Marvel! Daredevil: Well, at least Deuce thinks highly of you. Tell me. How come you can talk?!? Spacepuppy: I think it has something to do with my Kree-Larian Powers, Daredevil. But, I only use it when I am around those that understand me, such as my master, Spidey, you, Earl, and some others who understand. But, Deucie understands me very well, since he loves me. Daredevil: What happens when the police arrive?!? Spacepuppy: Well, I have to be like the other doggies. Give them the sad eyes and bark to try and tell them what is going on! ARRGH! Daredevil: What's wrong?!? Spacepuppy: I think Deuce and I may have to deal with that mean man, Kingpin. Is it OK with you, Daredevil?!? Deuce: WHIMPER! WHIMPER! Daredevil: OK, you two. You may teach Kingpin some manners. Please be careful. I care about the two of you! Spacepuppy: Don't Worry, Daredevil! We will be OK! Don't touch that mouse! Ms. Marvel Will Be Right Back! And now, back to Ms.Marvel! Spacepuppy: Deuce, are we on the right track to Kingpin's secret headquarters?!? Deuce: WOO-WOOOF! WOO-WOOOF! Spacepuppy: WOW! He lives in a giant doghouse! Let's take a BIG bite out of that bad, mean man! Deuce: RRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Meanwhile, in the study of The Kingpin................ Kingpin: So, that blasted wall-crawler, that wretched Man Without Fear and that blasted Female Fury has caused me nothing but trouble for me! If I ever get my hands on them, they will all be sorry for what they did today! Spacepuppy: Not so fast, you big tub of lard! Kingpin: Blast it! It is that wretched dog of the Female Fury and that mangy mutt! Spacepuppy: I'll teach you not to mess with my master and her friends, you mean man! Spacepuppy and Deuce bite The Kingpin on his pants legs! Kingpin: EEYYYOOOWWWW! Get off of me, you mangy mutts! Deuce: RRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Spacepuppy: Mutt! I'll teach you NOT to call me and my Deucie a mutt, you big bully! As our heroic dogs bite the Kingpin on his expensive coat sleeves that protect his arms, Kingpin screams again! Kingpin: OOWWWW!!!!!!!!! Why you little canine juvenile deliquents?!? When I get my hands on you....EEEYOWWW! Just then, we noticed that Deuce bit Kingpin on the seat of his pants and gives a look as if to say "I'm a little stinker!" Spacepuppy: Uh Oh! This is very embarrassing! It looks like you revealed his boxer shorts, Deucie! Kingpin: I'm getting out of here! And, away from these vicious animals! Spacepuppy: It looks like we are going to do a little chase scene, Deucie! You want to join me?!? Deuce: WOOO-WOOOF!!!!! Spacepuppy: Let's go! Spacepuppy! Spacepuppy! Away! Deuce: WOOOO-WOOOFFF! Spacepuppy and Deuce chased Kingpin all over Manhattan and through Central Park, where they chased him up a BIG tree and kept him up there until the authorities arrived! When they did appear, they gave New York's Finest Law Enforcement (The NYPD), the sad eyes. Sgt. MacDuff: What's the matter, pups?!? Officer Manelle: It looks like they chased The Kingpin up the tree. We better get some back up and get him down. A few minutes and one Fire Rescue Ladder Truck later, The Kingpin was finally brought down to the long arm of the law. Kingpin: Officers, please! Take me to jail! Lock the door and throw away the key! But keep those crazy dogs away from me! Especially that puppy that talks! Sgt. MacDuff: I think we better take him to Bellvue. I think he has gone mad! Officer Manelle: I think that would be a great idea. (To Spacepuppy And Deuce) You two did a great job! On behalf of the NYPD, I hereby present you two with these juicy, thick steaks as a reward for capturing the Kingpin! Spacepuppy and Deuce barked to Officer Manelle and wagged their tails as if to say: Thank you! Officer Manelle: You are quite welcome. You two take care and watch out for each other. The Next Day, Earl, Betsy And Roscoe were at the LaGuardia Airport, heading back home to Atlanta, Georgia USA....... Betsy: Well, I guess it is time to bid the BIG APPLE a fond adieu until the summer, when I have to go back to that camp. Earl: You know, I think Roscoe is going to miss New York as well as you are, Betsy. The hardest thing for her was saying good-bye to Deuce. Roscoe: RRREEFF! RREEFF! Betsy: Well, at least she got to see Central Park after all! You know, I hope that I will return to New York one day and do some exploring. Earl: Who knows, Betsy?!? Who knows?!? The End
