THE SPARK SAGA:

PART I OF III: A HARD LIFE

 

CHAPTER I: THE MOMENT

 

[A small home near the edge of town, we see Radian, a strong, male husky staring out the window at the star clustered sky.]

 

LESLIE: It’s beautiful.

[A beautiful young girl husky appears behind him, it’s Leslie, Radian’s mate and she’s nine months pregnant.]

 

RADIAN: [sounds like Alec Baldwin] Yes, that’s true.

 

LESLIE: It reminds me of the first time we met.

 

RADIAN: God, Leslie, please don’t start that story again.

 

LESLIE: It was a warm sum- [groans]

 

RADIAN: Les, are you okay?!

 

LESLIE: [Struggles to get up] {softly} it’s time.

 

 

 

 

14 HOURS LATER…………

 

 

[Radian enters the room quietly; he sees Leslie and four newborn puppies]

 

 

RADIAN: Wow.

 

LESLIE: I know.

 

RADIAN: So, have you named them yet?

 

LESLIE: Only two so far, [points to a mottled brown pup] that one’s Hammilton. And [points to a red pup] that’s Mia.

 

RADIAN: Hmmm. [Looks at a light tan pup] that one, how about……Dusty.

 

LESLIE: Perfect, so we have Mia, Dusty, and Hammilton.

 

RADIAN: [Gasp] Oh my God!

 

[Both look at the dark brown pup, seeing a horrific sight, the pup’s right forepaw ended at the elbow joint, his left eye was badly swollen over, and the tail was badly lacerated.]

 

LESLIE: What happened to him?!

 

RADIAN: I don’t know. We’ve got to help him.

 

LESLIE: Yes, but how?

 

RADIAN: I think it’s time we paid Doc a little visit.

 

 

CHAPTER II: THE DECISION

 

DOC: OK, let’s have a look at him

[Doc begins to look him over carefully]

 

DOC: Hmmm. He’s pretty well torn up. We’re gonna have to do something about that leg. [Doc sighs] I only have one option. Your son is going to have to get used to having an artificial leg, a robotic lens for an eye, and a metal tail.

 

RADIAN: Is that the only way?

 

DOC: I’m sorry, it’s the only way.

 

LESLIE: [Frustrated sigh] OK.

DOC: All right, let’s do this.

 

 

SIX WEEKS LATER…………

 

[Radian and Leslie walk up to Doc who is waiting for them at the old mill.]

 

LESLIE: We’re ready.

 

DOC: Okay. [Quietly] it’s all right, come on out. Your parents are here.

 

[Radian and Leslie hear three normal footsteps, followed by a metallic thud.]

 

LESLIE: Oh my.

 

[Leslie runs over and nuzzles him; a spark shoots out of his tail.]

 

LESLIE: What was that!

 

RADIAN: Nothing, just a spark.

 

LESLIE: [Eyes wide] that’s it.

 

RADIAN: [Confused] What’s it?

 

LESLIE: That’s what we’ll name him, Spark.

 

RADIAN: Yeah, I like it.

 

 

CHAPTER III: PUBLIC REACTION

 

THE NEXT DAY……….

 

[Balto is watching the three pups]

 

[Radian walks in]

 

RADIAN: Thanks for watching the pups today.

 

BALTO: Not at all.

 

[Radian looks to the pups]

 

RADIAN: Kids, your brother, Spark is home from the hospital.

[Spark walks in nervously]

 

MIA: That’s him? He doesn’t even look like a dog!

 

HAMMILTON: I think he looks cool!

 

[Dusty walks up to Spark]

 

DUSTY: Welcome home, bro!!

 

SPARK: Thanks.

 

DUSTY: Hey, wanna come down to the old trawler and meet some of my friends?

 

SPARK: Sure, sounds like fun!

 

[Spark and Dusty walk down the street, Spark looks around and sees all the dogs staring at him]

 

*There must be some misunderstanding>

<There must be some kind of mistake>

<I waited in the rain for hours>

<And you were late>

 

<Now it’s not like me to say the right thing>

<But you could’ve called to let me know>

<I checked your number twice, don’t understand it>

<So I went home>

 

<Well I’d been waiting for this weekend>

<I thought that maybe we could see a show>

<Never dreamed I’d have this feeling>

<Oh but seeing you is believing>

<That’s why I don’t know why>

<You didn’t show up that night>

 

<There must be some misunderstanding>

<There must be some kind of mistake>

<I waited in the rain for hours>

<And you were late>

 

<Since then I’ve been running around trying to find you>

<I went to the places that we always go>

<I rang your home, got no answer>

<Jumped in my car, I went round there>

<Still don’t believe it>

<He was just leaving>

 

<There must be some misunderstanding>

<There must be some kind of mistake*

 

[The two arrive at the trawler]

 

DUSTY: Spark, this is Kodi, Dingo, Saba, Aleu, and Boris.

 

BORIS: [Looking at Spark, confused] Who’s the pirate?

 

SPARK:?

 

BORIS: Yes, you with the eye patch.

 

SPARK: Eye patch? OH! That’s not an eye patch, that’s my artificial optic lens.

 

BORIS: Your vat is vat now?

 

SPARK: [Exasperated sigh] It’s a metal eye! Complete with thermal imaging system, built-in GPS, and a DNA tracking chip.

 

BORIS: ???????????????

 

SPARK: Forget it.

 

 

 

3 HOURS LATER………….

 

[Saba walks up to Spark]

 

SABA: Spark, can I ask you a question?

 

SPARK: Sure.

 

SABA: Why do you have all that metal stuff hooked up to you?

 

SPARK: Because, when I was born, I only had part of my leg, one eye, and a torn up tail.

 

SABA: Oh, I’m so sorry.

 

SPARK: Yeah.

 

SABA: Well, see you later.

 

SPARK: Bye!!!

[Spark is walking down the street; other dogs are staring at him oddly]

 

[Two dogs cut him off]

 

DOG #1: Hey, kid. What’s with the eye? You some kind of cyborgs?

 

SPARK: No, not really.

 

DOG #2: I suggest you leave town, punk. Dogs like us…

 

DOG #1: …Don’t take too kindly to dogs like you!

 

DOG #3: Mercin, leave him alone!

 

[A black and grey pup comes out of an alley; he is much more muscular than a regular dog.]

 

DOG #1: Tank?!

 

TANK: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you leave him alone!

 

MERCIN: OK, OK, we’re going! [Runs off]

 

TANK: You OK?

 

SPARK: Y…Yeah.

 

TANK: What’s your name?

 

SPARK: Sp…Spark.

 

TANK: Short, yet it makes sense…I like it.

 

SPARK: Thanks. Why did you save me?

 

TANK: Spark, in a place like this you’re gonna need friends.

 

SPARK: Yeah, I learned that today.

 

TANK: I’m sure you did. You know, we’re the same in many ways, Spark.

 

SPARK: Like what?

 

TANK: [Puts his paw on Spark’s shoulder] We’re both different. You look like you came out of an episode of Star Trek. No offense.

 

SPARK: It’s all right. How are you different?

 

TANK: Do you think I look like Hulk Hogan because I feel like it?

 

SPARK: Oh. Say, will you be my friend?

 

TANK: Not like I got anything else to do. Sure.

 

SPARK: Thanks.

 

[They both walk off]

 

 

SPARK(Older voice): Little did I know that if that single event hadn’t occurred, my life would have been a whole lot different…

 

 

 

 

STAY TUNED FOR PART II: SPARK AND THE FORCE!!!!!!!!
