Imperfection
Charlie was looking through his phone when he heard familiar laughter coming from the staircase.
"Here they come." He said as he felt rumbling coming from above.
"BOW WAKKA WOW!!!" Dolly yelled out her signature catchphrase and slid down the railing before jumping off and performing a summer sault, landing on her feet and running to the living room, where she jumped into Charlie's lap.
"Well, hi, Dolly." He greeted her, to which she smiled.
"Hi, Charlie." She greeted back when the familiar tsunami of black and white spots stampede in and buried both Charlie and Dolly underneath them. After a few minutes of digging, both Dolly and Charlie popped their heads out and laughed.
"I can see you, and the pups are super excited." He said as Dolly pulled herself out from the puppy pile.
"Well, duh, do you know what today is?" She asked him, to which he pondered.
"Hmmmm... is it... Halloween?" He asked which Dolly tail began to wag with excitement, and she smiled.
"That's right!" She answered.
"But you can't eat any candy. It's not meant for dogs."
"No, bro, it's that time we get to tell spooky stories. And so far, you're like 2 and with stories."
"Well, that's true."
"So, can you tell us spooky stories?"
"Yeah, tell us spooky stories!" Dizzy and DeeDee begged, jumping up and down, to which Charlie chuckled and shook his head.
"What's going on?" Dylan asked as he and Dawkins entered the living room.
"Oh, not much Dyl, just Charlie here was gonna tell us another round of awesome spooky tale." Dolly said, which Charlie smiled.
"Well, this should be good." Dylan said. However, Dawkins rolled his eyes.
"Another line of quote, unquote, 'spooky' stories?"
"Hey, it's a tradition, Dawkins." Charlie said with a smile, "And I got three good ones to share this time." He said, but Dawkins shook his head.
"I find them completely fictional." He said to which Dolly gave him an angry look.
"Gee bro, way to kill the mood."
"Well, we'll see if you still think that by the end of the night."
"I agree. What's the first story?"
"Hang on a micro minute, Dawkins. I've gone an extra level with presenting these stories." He said as he picked up a small bag where a Vcr was pulled out along with three VHS tapes, all with the title written on them with a black sharpie.
"What are those?"
"VHS tapes." He answered with a smile as he set it up on the telly, "I told you, I went all out with this one. So... without further ado... let's pop this guy in and see." He said as he put the VHS tape into the Vcr and pressed play. First, the TV went static, but soon, the familiar buzzing noise began for the title popped up.

IMPERFECTION
(Charlie is in human form)
Music could be heard as many cameramen were shown pushing and shoving each other, trying to get a picture of Triple D who were walking back to their limo.
"Triple D, over here!"
"Give us those money-making eyes!"
"The camera loves you, girls!" Some of the cameramen yelled out as security made a man-made barrier around Triple D in order to keep the cameramen at bay until they reached their limo where the driver opened the door for them to jump in. Once the door was closed, the cameramen tried their best to get their attention, but the trio put on their sunglasses and began their travel back to their home.
"Boy, those cameramen sure do love us." Deja-Vu commented as she took off her sunglasses.
"Well, duh, they adore us." Dallas added as she took a sip out of her drink but soon spit it out and made a disgusted look, "Ew! It's warm!" She yelled out and kicked the drink at the driver's window, "This is warm!" She yelled out before going over to a compartment where there were colder drinks for her to enjoy, "That's better." She said with a satisfied smile. Destiny was looking at the tablet when she suddenly gasped in excitement.
"GIRLS!!" She yelled out in excitement, getting their attention.
"What is it?"
"Yeah, what is it?" They asked before Destiny pulled them closer.
"Take a look at this!" She said as she played the video. It was mostly a video about beauty and models showing off a new perfume bottle.
"Perfection, for the best of being perfect." The slogan stated as the video ended, which Triple D squealed in excitement.
"BUY BUY BUY!"
"Yeah, buy!!!"
"Alright, I'm buying now." Deja-Vu said as she pushed down on the link to buy the perfume which the trio howled in celebration.
"With this perfume."
"We would be..."
"Irresistibly." They said as they performed their signature pose.
{ONE WEEK LATER}
"So why has Triple D been bothering you for the past week?" Dolly asked Charlie, who was sitting on the staircase with his head resting on his hands, which were placed on his knees while Dolly was lying on the railing.
"Said something about buying this perfume that would make them quote, unquote, 'Perfect'." He said as he and Dolly could see an outline of the mailman approaching.
{MEANWHILE OUTSIDE}
The mailman nervously gulped as he approached the house. Slowly creeping up to the front door, shaking at the thought of getting trampled on as he gently knocked on the door only to jump back, preparing himself for the worse. Thankfully, nothing happened as he retracted his stance and sighed in relief. Soon, the door opened, revealing Charlie, who smiled.
"I see that they didn't trample you this time." He joked as the mailman handed him a small package along with some letters.
"Y-yeah, thank g-goodness."
"Well, you better get out of here before..." Before he could finish, he felt the rumbling from behind him, "Uh oh..." He said to which the mailman started to panic.
"Oh no, no, no, no!" He panicked and tried to retreat to his bike, but unfortunately, the tsunami of black and white spots blasted through the front door and started chasing after him, leaving Charlie to histerically laugh at the sight before whistling for the pups.
"Alright, everyone back inside you all!" He yelled out, getting the cheerful pups to run back into the house, getting Charlie to jump out of the way, looking at the small package in his hands.
"Charlie!" He heard which got him to groan under his breath before looking up to the top of the stairs to see Triple D, standing in their usual trademark mark.
"Did our package..."
"Arrived yet?"
"Please say yes." They asked. Charlie smiled and shook the small package at them, getting the trio to squeal in excitement before tackling him, grabbing the box from his hands, and racing back to their room where they had everything set up for another vlog.
"I can't wait to spray this!" Dallas said as she hugged the perfume bottle.
"I bet it's gonna make our stardom more brighter."
"Only one way to find out girls." Destiny said as she started up the camera, "What's up all you wonder pups out there." She greeted, "It's me, Destiny..."
"I'm Dallas."
"And I'm Deja-Vu."
"And you know us as..." Destiny stated before the trio got into their signature pose.
"Triple D." They announced.
"And today, viewers, we got a special product to review." Destiny said as she held up the bottle of perfume, "Behold... Perfection." She announced.
"For the best of being perfect." Dallas read the bottle as they showed it off.
"Doesn't it look cute?" Deja-Vu commented as they began to open it.
"This is a new product that just recently launched, and we decided to review to see if it's worth it." Destiny said as they grabbed one of their other perfumes and pulled off the pump they use to make it easier for them to spray the perfume and attached it to the new perfume, "The moment of truth." She said before spraying the bottle into the air. The sweet pink cloud of vagrant flew into the air before settling around them, to which the trio sniffed the air.
"Ooooo, not a bad smell." Dallas commented as the others nodded in agreement.
"It has a somewhat relaxing smell and feel to it." Destiny stated.
"Almost feels like a blanket that lightly covers us." Deja-Vu added. Soon, it was time for them to end their stream.
"Well, it's about that time again, fans." Destiny said.
"But always remember, we'll be streaming every Wednesday at our usual time, if you like to help our channel grow, you can help by donating to our channel and sharing it with your friends who need makeup experts." Dallas added.
"Until then..."
"Stay..."
"Divatic." The trio said before turning off their stream. Once it turned off, Destiny looked over to Deja-Vu.
"Divatic? Really?" She asked with an embarrassed tone.
"Hey, what could have I said? I had to make it catchy." She argued as Dallas walked over to the perfume bottle and took a closer look at it. However, she noticed something on her paw. She couldn't quite tell what it was as it immediately disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Uhh... what was that?" She asked, getting Destiny and Deja-Vu to stop and look over to her.
"What was..." Destiny began to ask when she shriek in horror, "EWWWW!!!" She yelled, pointing to Dallas's back.
"WHAT?!" Dallas asked as she turned to face them. Upon turning to face them, she gasped at the sight. Destiny and Deja-Vu's faces looked completely mangled with parts of their fur missing, "Destiny, Deja-Vu!!"
"What happened to your fur?!" The trio asked, to which Destiny, Dallas, and Deja-Vu looked confused. Dallas quickly pushed their tablet over to them and activated the camera, only to shriek in horror at what was looking back at them.
{MEANWHILE}
Charlie was looking through his phone while petting Da-Vinci when he heard Triple D screech, causing him to jump up and fumble with his phone along with Da-Vinci, who too jumped up.
"W-whats going on?" She asked, to which Charlie answered her with a groan.
"I'll give you three guesses, and they all start with the letter 'D'." He said as he got up and stormed off to Triple D's room.
{MEANWHILE}
"It won't stop falling!" Destiny screamed out as she looked around frantically, trying to find and pick up her loose fur.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!!" Dallas begged as she was shown rolling around aggressively. Deja-Vu suddenly started sneezing like crazy.
"Oh no, no, no, no!!" She yelled out as she ran over to a mirror only to see that her eyes were bloodshot and snot started to ooze out of her nose, "No No No!! I can't be getting sick!" She cried out before their door burst open.
"What's going on in here!?" He asked, getting the trios' attention.
"Charlie!"
"Thank dog!"
"You're here!!!" The trio yelled out as they grabbed his leg.
"What's with all the yelling?"
"Can't you see?!"
"Look at us!"
"We're Not Cute!!!" The trio answered, to which Charlie stared at them.
"I don't see anything wrong." He said which the trio gasped.
"Are you blind!?" Destiny asked, "My cute, adorable fur is falling out!!" She said, but Charlie looked at her with confusion. Unbeknownst to Triple D, from Charlie's point of view, they look perfectly fine.
"I must be blind cause I don't see a single strand missing from you." He said, that caused Destiny to look at him furiously.
"ARE YOU..."
"Chill Destiny!" Dallas jumped in, holding back her sister.
"He can't see!"
"He has to see... see that I feel and look extremely sick." Deja-Vu said which Charlie looked down at her.
"There's nothing wrong with you, I don't see you shivering or have bloodshot eyes." He said as he was about to walk out, "Maybe you three need some air."
"Us?!"
"Go outside?!"
"With our condition?!" The trio asked.
"Go go go." He said as he picked up the trio and started heading to the backyard while they scratched, cried out, and biting his arms. But he had a strong grip as he opened the door and placed them on the grass, "Just relax and enjoy the fresh air, I'll be back to check up on you."
"NOOOOO, PLEASE CHARLIE!"
"DON'T LEAVE US!!
"OUT HERE!" The trio yelled out, but it was too late, Charlie closed the door behind him. They sat around shivering in fear as other pups came up to see if they were alright, but once they got even close enough to them the trio would back up in fear screaming that the other pups had fur falling out.
"NO GET AWAY! YOU FREAKS!" Destiny screamed at Dizzy and DeeDee, who looked completely confused.
"Destiny? What are you talking about?"
"Yeah, why'd you called us freaks?" They asked.
"You... you all are... Imperfect." Dallas commented as the trio backed up into a corner. This got the other pups to look at each other with confusion.
"There's only one way to cure imperfections." Deja-Vu said very insanely as the trio pulled out the Perfection perfume and began to wildly spray.
{MEANWHILE}
Once Charlie closed the door, he was suddenly greeted by Dylan, who seemed very concerned.
"Uh, you sure it was a good idea taking them outside?"
"Hey, it's not like they can do any harm." Charlie answered with a shrug only to notice that he forgot something, "Oops I forgot the magazine that I was reading he said as he opened the back door, only to be horrified at the sight before him. Chaos, fighting, and just absolute mayhem could be seen as the sky turned blood red, "What the..." He asked as a wooden chair smashed against the wall. Throughout all the chaos he could see most of the pups fighting with one another yelling that they were imperfect while Destiny, Dallas, and Deja-Vu were shown spraying the remaining pups wildly with the perfume, "It wasn't even..." He started to say when he quickly ducked, "A minute!" He yelled out before all the pups stopped what they were doing and snapped a look at him, "Oh... uh hi." He nervously chuckled.
"What's going..." Dylan asked when he froze in place and gasped in horror."
"THERE'S AN IMPERFECTION!" Dallas screamed sickly while her eyes looked bloodshot, and she was twitching like crazy.
"GET THE IMPERFECTION!!!" Destiny screamed out as the pups formed a tsunami of black and white spots and were heading right toward Charlie and Dylan.
"CHARLIE!" Dylan yelled out, Charlie grabbed Dylan and chucked him inside before slamming the door and putting both he and Charlie's weight against the door, just in time as the brunt of the tsunami crashed into the door causing him to bounce off the door but Charlie managed to quickly push back, "Oh my dog, oh my dog, Oh My Dog!" Dylan started hyperventilating.
"Hey hey hey, Dylan, you need to relax." He said as the tsunami of pups tried to knock down the door again, causing Charlie to repeat his reaction, "I Need You To Think Here!" He yelled out, but he heard something near his foot. He looked down to see the perfume that Triple D got and quickly picked it up, "It has something to do with this perfume."
"Uhh, what's going on?!" Dolly asked, popping her out from the hallway, "A brick was thrown through a window and was careening towards Dolly. Thankfully, she dodged out of the way, "Woah woah, now I need to know what's going on?!"
"Glad you can join us, Dolly, uh... we have a bit of a situation here..."
"IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!" Dante screamed out in a panic.
"DANTE!" Dylan, Dolly, and Charlie yelled out.
"Not a good time!" Charlie added when another tsunami of pups struck the door again, "But then again, it kinda is!" He corrected as Dawkins appeared looking out the window.
"It appears we have riot on our paws."
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious Dawkins." Dolly thanked him.
"Dawkins!" Charlie yelled for him and tossed the perfume to him, "Can you check this?!" He asked.
"I'll uh, I'll see what I can do." Dawkins said and raced off.
"HURRY DAWKINS!" Charlie yelled out when the floor in front of him burst, revealing Diesel, "Diesel!"
"IMPERFECTION!" Diesel growled and climbed out of the hole growling at Charlie.
"Diesel, come on, dude, it's us, your family." Charlie stated. However, Diesel wasn't listening and was about to pounce. Luckily, Dolly pulled down the sink spray and spayed Diesel with water, causing him to slide across the floor. Dylan, Dolly, and Charlie all waited for another pounce, but Diesel shook his head and looked at then rather confused.
"Wha... what happened? Where am I?" He asked, looking around in confusion, "Why does it smell like wet dog?"
"Diesel? Are you okay?" Charlie asked, running over to poorly confused pup.
"Y-yeah? I'm just... confused." He answered before sniffing himself, "Wait am I the wet dog?" He asked which Charlie, Dylan, and Dolly sighed in relief.
"Thank dog he's back to his normal self." Dolly said, wiping her brow.
"But why was he vicious pup?" Dylan asked. Just in time, too, as Dawkins skidded to a halt at the doorway.
"Dawkins, what splendid timing." Charlie said as the tsunami of pups crashed into the door behind him again, "Have you figured out why our pups have turned into ankle-biters?!" He asked.
"Plenty." Dawkins answered before pulling over his tablet, "After running several samples through my microscope, I found a very interesting ingredient that created the perfume. Mostly, it's your normal ingredients benzyl alcohol, acetone, linalool, ethanol, ethyl acetate, benzaldehyde, camphor, formaldehyde, methylene chloride and limonene" He explained, to which Charlie rolled his eyes.
"Was uh, any of that english?" Dolly asked, to which Dawkins ignored her question.
"However... I found another ingredient, an unnamed, mold-infected flower."
"A mold-infected flower?"
"Yes... upon looking into this, I found that its only location is a small European village in Romania." He explains, "After doing a quick study, I found that if the pollen from these said flowers were inhaled, they will cause intense and violent hallucinations."
"Let me see that perfume." Charlie said as Dawkins tossed the perfume to him. At first, Charlie simply roatated the perfume, and it looked like a normal perfume. Until he flipped it over to see the bottom, revealing a familiar logo, it looked like a red and white umbrella, "Of course... The Umbrella Corporation."
"The Umbrella who?" Dolly asked.
"A company that I heard about when I was in boot camp, they specialize in biochemicals and have alos been known to make bio-weapons that were rumored to have uh... caused massive damage to their reputation." He explains before tossing the perfume back to Dawkins, "That explains outside." He commented
"But I need more time to figure out how we can eliminate this issue." Dawkins said. However, the others looked down at Diesel before smiling at one another, "Oh no... I know that look. You guys have a plan, don't ya?" He asked.
"Dolly, Dante, Dylan... prepare the dog wash." Charlie said.
{MEANWHILE}
Chaos resumed outside before the back door was kicked open, getting all of the pups' attention. Standing in front of the back door was Charlie, who was in a white tank top, his army pants, and combat boots. He also had black face paint on his cheeks along with a green bandana that was tied up on his head. In his hands, he was holding water guns, while behind him were Dylan, Dante, and Dolly, who all had different colored bandanas on their heads along with them havung buckets of water ballons.
"Time to clean y'alls act." Charlie said as he pumped his water gun.
"Bro, seriously?" Dolly asked.
"What?! I didn't know what to say there."
"IT'S IMPERFECTION!!!" Destiny hissed.
"GET THEM!!!" One of the pups yelled out and began forming the tsunami of black and white spots, charging straight toward them.
"Wait for it." Charlie said, holding out his hand, "Wait for it." He said as the tsunami of puppies got closer and closer, "Dolly Now!" He yelled out as she, Dylan, Dante, moved out of the way, revealing Dolly was holding up the hose.
"GET DRENCHED GUYS!" She yelled out and fired the house, hitting some of the pups and causing them to fly back. Meanwhile, Dylan, and Dante started throwing water balloons at the pups which upon hitting them revealed that there was shampoo in the water balloons causing the pups to fall to the ground and shake off the soapy water with confusion.
"On your left there, Dolly!" Charlie yelled out before aiming his water gun at a couple of pups and sprayed them with ease. Destiny, Dallas, and Deja-Vu watched in horror as to them, Dylan, Dolly, Dante, and Charlie were slaughtering their bothers and sisters, blood was seen splattering everywhere as the trio started to panic and back away. Charlie, however, noticed this and threw a couple of water balloons at the trio, which they ran amuck before one of the water balloons struck Deja-Vu, who slipped and crashed into some leaves. After a few minutes, she slowly popped out from the pile of leaves in a daze.
"W-what happened?" She asked as Charlie ran over to her, shooting at more pups.
"DV, glad to see your back."
"C-Charlie?! What..." Before she finished asking, she looked on with a horrified look... seeing all the chaos.
"That perfume caused you all to go koo koo for coco puffs."
"W-what?! How?!" She asked as Charlie handed her some water balloons.
"No time to explain. Start throwing these!" He yelled out as he squirted more of the pups. Deja-Vu, not wasting any time, quickly threw one of the water balloons at some pups, which cleaned them from the perfume. Soon one by one the pups were sprayed and splashed with water, causing them to revert to their normal self, leaving only two left... Destiny and Dallas.
"Alright, now where are they?" Dolly asked as she looked around.
"There!" Charlie pointed up to Dylan's tree house where Destiny and Dallas were seen climbing.
"Their gonna get hurt!"
"And I can't spray them from here, the hose is too powerful and if we use the water guns..." Dolly mentioned.
"They'll slip and fall off the tree house." Charlie finished.
"Then... what are we going to do?!" Deja-Vu asked.
"Theirs only thing we can do... we need to reason with them, tell them that it's okay and everything will be fine until we can find a way to get them down."
"Try telling that to them!" Dolly commented, gesturing over to Destiny and Dallas.
"That is why we need Deja-Vu."
"M-me? Why me?" She asked in confusion.
"Cause you know them better and maybe can get through to them." Charlie explains which Deja-Vu looked around in a panic, "Come on, Deja-Vu, we need you, your sisters need you, think of your family!" He begged her. This caused Deja-Vu to sigh in agreement.
"You're right." She said, which Charlie smiled, "Let's go save my sisters." She added and jumped into Charlie's arms, where he carried her over to the tree house and tossed her up to the flooring above.
"Destiny, Dallas!? Where are you!?" She yelled out.
"IMPERFECTION!" Destiny could be heard screeching, which Deja-Vu climbed out of the window and started to climb up to the roof where the two were at the edge, "Stay back, you disgusting parasite!"
"Don't make us use this!" Dallas yelled out as the duo turned the perfume toward Deja-Vu, who had her paws up softly.
"Guys... it's me... Deja-Vu, remember?" She asked, getting the duo to back up, only for Destiny to wobble back.
"Stay... Back!" Destiny warned Deja-Vu, who was slowly crawling over to them.
"Please! Girls, listen to me... this isn't how we do things. We're better than this. This perfume isn't worth our channel or time. All it's done was cause chaos and destruction to our family." She said, to which the duo looked at each other.
{MEANWHILE}
Down below, everyone watched in suspense as Deja-Vu talked to them.
"We gotta do something." Charlie said as he looked around and saw the small puppy pool they had, "Dylan, Dolly, I got an idea."
"Does it involve that pool?" She asked
"It definitely does come on." He said as he hurried over to the pool.
{BACK WITH DEJA-VU}
"Come on, let go of the perfume and fight it." She begged, to which Destiny and Dallas blinked in confusion. However, their vision started to revert back to their normal vision, which they could see Deja-Vu.
"Deja-Vu?"
"That you?" They asked when Dallas suddenly winced and shook her head.
"No, you fool! It's an imperfection!" She said which Destiny growled.
"Come on girls, fight it!" Deja-Vu begged as she noticed Charlie pushing the puppy pool behind Destiny and Dallas, to which she nodded in confidence, "If you won't fight it then let me help!" She yelled out and charged at her sister, to which they aimed the perfume at her and spayed her straight in the face. But they weren't fast enough as once Deja-Vu was sprayed, she tackled the two, and the trio fell off the roof of Dylan's tree house. Screaming down until they splashed into the pool.
"Grab brushes!" Charlie yelled out, to which Dylan and Dolly quickly ran in and grabbed brushes. Once they returned, Destiny, Dallas, and Deja-Vu were coughing up water while trying to escape from Charlie's grasps, "Stay still you three!" He said as Dylan handed him a brush and started scrubbing Triple D. After a while, the trio struggle began to decrease before Charlie picked up one of them to inspect.
"Destiny? Are you okay?" Dylan asked which he got a face full of water by her.
"Could you have used a better quality of water?" She asked with a disgusted tone.
"Destiny! Thank dog your back." Dolly cheered before laughing nervously under her breath. As Charlie placed her down, he dug around and pulled out Dallas, who was too coughing up water.
"Argh, look what you did! Y-you made my fur all wet!" She whined before being placed down by her sister as Charlie dug around and pulled out Deja-Vu, who was giggling.
"Bubbles." She said, which Charlie chuckled.
{LATER}
"So... you telling me that this perfume was the cause of our hall-loo-tion-nation?" Deja-Vu asked.
"You mean hallucinations." Charlie corrected her, "And yes, that's what Dawkins found in some samples." Charlie answered as he held the perfume bottle.
"Well, I can tell you this. It didn't match my style anyhow."
"Totaly agree." Destiny and Dallas stated, to which everyone sighed in relief.
"Well, I'll speak for everyone and say we are definitely not buying this crap ever again." Charlie said as he walked over to the sink, "And just to make sure no one uses this ever again..." He said as he opened the perfume and proceeded to dump the liquid into the sink, "There... now we don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Uh... Charlie?" Are you sure it was a good idea to dump it into the sink?" Dawkins asked, which Charlie waved him off.
"Oh, come on, dude, what's gonna happen?" Charlie asked as he walked over to the refrigerator, "Who wants a snack?" He asked which he got a chant from the pups. However, unbeknownst to him, the camera zoomed out from the Dalmatian Residence, revealing that all of Camden looks like an apocalyptic landscape with fire and overturned cars, along with sounds of gunfire and screaming. It's definitely a world record for the perfume to mysteriously spread extremely fast.
