Ch.3:Quite the turn

Julie got dressed early, as she was going to meet Dolly at the skate park.  She met Dolly at the hotel entrance.

Dolly:Ready for your first lesson?

Julie:You bet.

Dolly:Here. Brought my spare board and helmet.

The two raced to the skate park. Julie saw a few of Dolly's friends. A female rottweiler, a male fox, a female husky, a female collie, and a male husky.

Dolly:Hey guys.

Fox:Dolly. About time.

Husky:Who's your little friend here?

Dolly:Guys, meet Ms.Raccoon of The Bad Guys.

Collie:The ex-heist crew. Was not expecting this.

Dolly:Yep. Julie, this is Fergus, Summer, Hans, and my BFF, Roxy.

Hans:So what brings a young fraulein like you to London?

Julie:Vacation. Beating up bad guys can take a lot out of you.

Summer:I imagine so.

Dolly:I'm gonna teach her some skate tricks while she's here.

Julie was with Dolly at the top of one of the ramps.

Dolly:Alright, my apprentice. Watch and learn.

She slid down the ramp. Performing several flips and other tricks.

Dolly:Alright, Ringtail. You give it a shot.

Julie:Okay.

Julie went down the ramp.

Roxy:Try to do some tricks!

Julie decided to try balancing on her tail, which she managed to do. She even managed to do a nose grind.

Dolly:Not bad.

They continued to skate, until Julie noticed someone hiding behind a telephone pole, wearing groucho glasses. Julie recognized who it was.

Julie:Is he for real?

Dylan realized he'd been spotted. He tried to make a break for it, but Julie threw her knife and it pinned his shirt to the pole. She and Dolly ran up to him.

Dolly:Dylan?!

Dylan:Dylan? Who-who's Dylan?

Dolly ripped the groucho glasses off.

Dolly:Are you seriously spying on us?!

Dylan:No...

Dolly:You still don't trust Julie, do you?

Dylan: ...No habla ingles?

Dolly facepalmed.

Julie pulled her knife out of his shirt, and Dolly stomped off. Julie went off after her.

Julie:Don't be too hard on your brother. He's just looking out for you.

Dolly:You've proven that you're a different person now. Why doesn't that bother you?

Julie:In fairness, I did do some nasty things. I guess he'll have to see for his own eyes that I'm a changed raccoon now.

Summer went to talk to Dylan.

Summer:I'm sure she knows that you're just looking out for her.

Dylan:I know. But, I'm just nervous Julie is gonna make her go to the "dark side" as it were.

As Julie was talking to Dolly, she noticed someone digging through one of the nearby trash cans. He had long hair and was wearing a red overcoat.

Julie:Who's that?

Dolly:What? Oh, that's Hunter.

Julie:You know him?

Dolly:Long story. Every now and then, we bring him food.

Julie:That's nice.

However, soon a garbage truck came in, and with a claw arm dumped the trash can's contents, with Hunter in it!

Dolly:Oh my dog!

The others soon came saw what was happening. Julie decided to take action. She ran over and hopped on the top of the truck and banged on the window of the driver seat.

Julie:Hey! Hey! There's someone in the back of the truck!

But the driver was wearing headphones and couldn't hear her.

Julie:Why do these kinds of workers have to wear headphones?

She went to the back of the truck. She saw that the walls were closing in. Hunter looked up and saw Julie.

Julie:Reach up!

Hunter jumped and grabbed her hand. With some struggling, she eventually pulled him out. The two hopped down from the truck.

Hunter:Uh...thanks.

Julie:Anytime.

Hunter then walked off. The dalmatians and their friends had their jaws wide open.

Dolly:Bow-Waka-WOW! That was AWESOME!

Hans:Incredible!

Julie:It's what I do.

Julie was later talking with the group.

Dylan:Uh...I guess I misjudged you.

Julie:It's all good, man. Sometimes, you got see someone in action to trust them.

Summer:I still can't believe you did heists!

Julie:I get that a lot.

Roxy:Anything you miss about being evil?

Julie:Not obeying the rules was kinda fun. Though being good has it's perks.

Dylan:Such as?

Julie:For one, you don't have people constantly trying to arrest you.

However, when Julie layed down briefly, she felt like she was sitting on something.

Julie:What the?

Strangely, Tarantula came out of her shirt sleeve.

Julie:Webs?! Did you stow away in my shirt?!

Tarantula:Uh yeah. Look, just wanted to keep an eye on you.

Julie rolled her eyes.

Tarantula:Wolf wanted me to make sure you didn't draw any attention to yourself. And it looks like you did with that little rescue.

Julie groaned.

Dylan:Hey, don't be too hard on your Dad. He just wants to make sure you're safe. You are in another country after all.

Dolly:Yeah, but I think he should realize that kids need their space.

Julie:I think you're both right. Maybe I should talk to my Dad about this. I mean, what's the worst that's gonna happen here?

Almost on cue, a nearby explosion happened behind her.

Julie:I have GOT to stop saying that sort of stuff.

Fergus:What the heck was that?!

Then, a familiar voice was heard.

???:Ms.Raccoon!

Julie:Wait, I know that accent...

They all turned to see who it was, and Julie couldn't believe it. It was Loose-Cannon Lucas!

Julie:No way...

Lucas:No clue how you found us, but you and your friends ain't gonna muck up everything!

Julie:Seriously, what are the odds? You guys might want to run, thing's are gonna get real crazy!

Hans:Right.

The friends ran away from the fight area. Lucas growled and shot several rockets.

Julie:Get back!

Julie, Tarantula, Dolly, and Dylan hid behind a tree.

Dolly:Who is that?

Julie:That's Loose-Cannon Lucas. One of our enemies. But what is he doing in London?

Tarantula:Good question.

Lucas then got a look and Dylan and Dolly.

Lucas:Hey wait...you two!

He pointed to Dylan and Dolly.

Dolly:Us?

Lucas:You're two of Dalmatians I'm here for!

Dolly and Dylan:What?!

Lucas shot more rockets, but Julie pulled the two dalmatians down.

Tarantula:Why would Lucas be after you guys?

Dolly:How the heck should we know?!

Things started getting intense.

Dylan:Think you should call your friends in!

Tarantula did just that.

Tarantula:Shark, it's an emergency!

Shark:Webs, what's going on? Why do I hear explosions?

Tarantula:It's Loose-Cannon Lucas! He's here!

Shark:Lucas? Hang tight, we're on our way!

Julie:Time to teach this hillbilly a lesson!

Dylan:What?! You're gonna fight HIM?!

Julie:This isn't the first time i fought him.

She rushed up to Lucas and punched him in the gut.

Julie:Got tired of coming after us Lucas? Now you're going after dalmatians? Why the change of pace?

Lucas:None of your business!

He pushed pass her and picked up Dylan by his shirt. Dylan screamed.

Dolly:Let go of my brother!

Lucas grabbed Dolly by the throat. However, before he could do anything, Someone threw a rock at Lucas's head, making him drop the pair. Then another. Then another. The fourth time, Lucas caught the rock and crushed it with his bare hand.

Lucas:Who. Did. THAT?!

It was Hunter. Lucas turned to him.

Hunter:Leave them alone!

Dolly:Hunter, don't!

Lucas:You want to play hero, boy? Well then, you can share your friends' fate!

Hunter ran for his life, and Lucas chased after him.

Dolly:Come on! We gotta help him!

Lucas was chasing Hunter through the streets.

Lucas:GET BACK HERE! I JUST WANT TO EVISCERATE YOU!

The dalmatians, Julie, and Tarantula were following them on Dolly's board.

Dolly:That man has got a serious short fuse.

Julie:Would you believe this is one of his tamer outbursts?

Dylan:Do we really have to follow him?

Dolly:You want Hunter blown sky high?

Lucas had Hunter cornered.

Lucas:Come to Lucas.

Dolly took her board and smashed it in Lucas's face.

Lucas:Grrr! How did yall even know we'd be in London?!

Julie:We...didn't

Lucas:I just don't get it, how did ya'll know we'd be in London.

Julie:We...didn't.

Lucas:Say what now?

Julie:We're here on vacation. Well not anymore now, but still. I legit didn't know about you.

Lucas:So you mean I maybe could have carried things out without you and the others knowing about it?

Julie:Probably. Though let's be real here, we would have found out eventually.

Lucas sighed.

Lucas:Ugh...Derek is gonna kill me...

Julie:Metaphorically or literally?

Lucas:Probably the latter. Anyhow, SO LONG, SUCKERS!

He rocket jumped onto the roof of a building and fled.

Julie:Looks like our vacation got cut short.

Tarantula:Figures

Dylan was shivering from what he just endured.

Dylan:Oh my dog. Someone really tried to kill us! Just...why...how did this-

Tarantula:Kid! We're gonna figure this out.

Dolly went to check on Hunter

Dolly:Hunter...are you okay?

Hunter was huddled up, not looking at the four.

Hunter:G...go away.

Dylan:We appreciate you helping us out. I think it'd be a smart move to go back to our place to discuss things.

Julie:I'll call my family.

Dolly:I think Hunter should come with.

Everyone looked at her.

Dylan:You sure? No offense, but do you think Mum and Dad will allow it?

Julie:Now he's peeved off Lucas, not a good plan for him to be out here in the open. Plus, he won't last much longer out here on your own.

Hunter:Are you sure it's a good idea for me to come back with you?

Dolly:Least we can do.
