were right! My mother and father are amazing. They're really great. And I am lucky to have them."
Splatter cocked his head, puzzled. He assumed Lucky was bragging.
Lucky kept on, talking more slowly now, sounding as sympathetic as Splatter had on the balcony only a few minutes before. "And even if your mother wasn't as wonderful as my mom and dad, well, it doesn't matter. Because you're a part of our family now. My mother and father are YOUR mother and father. And they love you just as much as they love me!"
Splatter's tail wagged. He opened his mouth to say something, but just then the door was nosed open.
Pongo stuck his head in. "Oh, there you are, boys!"
Lucky and Spatter raced across the room as soon as they tumbled off of the piano and threw themselves at their father. Lucky scrambled onto his surprised father's head. Splatter hopped up and down to lick at his Dad's face.
"Goodness, sons, what's all the fuss about?" laughed Pongo.
"It's just good to see you, dad!" giggled Lucky, hopping down to sit next to Splatter, who was nodding ecstatically. The two puppies smiled at each other.
"Oh, hah, well, it's story time, children, and your mother is waiting. Better hurry! Come on, Splatter." Pongo looked amused at the 'silliness' of his kids.
At the sound of his name from his adoptive dad, the dirty dalmatian's tail wagged nearly off his rear end.
As Pongo led the way out of the room, Lucky leaned over and whispered in Splatter's ear, "You know, something good did come of you others living here. I just thought of it."
"What?" asked Splatter, still smiling.
"I got a new brother." Lucky pounced on Splatter just as they reached the stair top.
Splatter giggled excitedly. "Me too!" he grunted just before they rolled down the stairs, passing right under and between their father's legs.
They laughed and raced each other to story time with their mother, both new brothers lighthearted and happy in a family of 101.

It's just like watching a movie they way they talk

Ottersisfun: I think it did that to the paragraphs because I was on my iPad, but I'm gonna fix it. I don't normally write like that. I'm extremely grammar-efficient!
SpotOn: Cool name! I tried to stick to the book (It's one of my favorites) and making the dialogue like the movie would was a lot of fun. I'm glad you noticed! And thanks, Splatter is my favorite of all of my characters. I'm sooo happy you said he was unique. That's what I was going for. Some people on the site make characters that are faved mostly for their pictures and not so much for their quality of character, so that means a lot to me. Thanks!
