Wolves and Coyotes/Pilot Transcript

[Sol's story is shown as he speaks]

Sol [Voiceover]: There once was a pack of wolves that lived in a forest called Piney Forest. They lived in peace, and their hunting was plentiful. Their alpha was named Silver. He was brave and fierce, but also kind and understanding. One day, another pack came to Piney Forest. The Coyote Pack. As the name suggests, the Coyote Pack was a pack of coyotes run by a powerful coyote named Puddle. The two packs both wanted to live in Piney Forest, but there wasn't enough room for both of them, so they went into war, constantly fighting bloody battles. Until, one day, Silver had an idea. He told the Coyote Pack that the two packs could merge to make one big pack of wolves and coyotes. The Coyote Pack accepted, and ever since then, the pack lived in peace, and eventually, they even allowed dogs to join.

[The camera stops showing the story]

Cyan: They weren't fully living in peace, though. They had trouble with other villains, like Nip, Koi, Cloud, and Goldie.

Sol: Well, yeah, but those are stories for another time.

Aurora: Okay, Cyan, it's time for bed.

Cyan: One more story! Please, Mommy?

Aurora: We had a deal, Cyan. I told you, you could have one more story, and then you would have to go to bed.

Cyan: But...

Aurora: No buts.

Sol: You should listen to your mother, Cyan.

Cyan: [Groans] Fine. [Stomps over to a moss bed and lays down]

Sol: [Chuckles] He's a paw full, isn't he, Aurora?

Aurora: Yeah, he is, but I still love him.

Sol: [Stands up] Well, I'm going to go for a walk before the sun fully sets. See you later.

Aurora: Bye.

Sol: [Leaves the den]

Night: [Walks over to Sol]

Sol: Hi, Night.

Night: Hey, Sol. Where are you going?

Sol: I'm just going to take a short walk in the forest.

Night: Oh, okay. Have fun.

Sol: [Nods] Bye.

[The camera shows Sol disappearing into the forest with Night in the background]

[Intro plays]

Sol: [Walks through the forest]

[The camera shows a nest of birds in a tree, and Sol watching them from below]

Sol: [Smiles] Piney Forest is such a nice place.

[Someone is heard yelling, "Get away from me!"]

Sol: What the?

[A scream is heard]

Sol: [Runs toward the screaming]

Sol: [Finds a fox cornering a whimpering dog pup] Hey!

Fox: [Looks at Sol]

Sol: Leave her alone!

Fox: [Chuckles] What are you going to do, dog?

Sol: I'm going to do this! [Knocks the fox down and pins him]

Fox: [Growls] Get off me! [Headbutts Sol]

Sol: [Falls off] Oof!

Fox: Looks like there's no one to save you, dog.

Sol: [Stares up at him fearfully]

Night: [Throws herself into the fox]

Sol: [Gets up, looking surprised]

Night: [Growls] Don't mess with my packmate! [Throws the fox]

Fox: [Gets up, looking afraid]

Night: [Growls and takes a step toward the fox]

Fox: [Runs away]

Night: [Stops growling and looks at Sol] Are you okay?

Sol: Yeah, I'm fine. How'd you know I was being attacked, though?

Night: I didn't, actually. I was just going to go walking with you, but then I saw that fox pinning you down.

Sol: Well, thank you. [Turns to the pup] Are you all right, kid?

Pup: [Nods] Yeah... I'm okay. Thank you for saving me.

Sol: It was nothing. What's your name, by the way? I'm Sol, and that's Night.

Pup: I'm Ginger.

Night: Are you lost?

Ginger: Kind of.

Sol: Kind of?

Ginger: [Looks away sadly] I lost my family a month ago. I'm really far away from them, so I doubt I'll ever see them again. [Sighs]

Night and Sol: [Looks at eachother]

Night: Well, we're in a pack, and if you're interested, you can join. You'd have food and shelter. And friends.

Ginger: Really? You'd let me join? If

Sol: Of course.

Ginger: Thank... thank you. I'd love to.

Night: [Smiles] All right, then come on, Ginger.

[Sol, Night, and Ginger leave, and the camera shows the fox watching them, hidden in undergrowth]

[Sol, Night, and Ginger are now at camp]

Night: [Stands on the Alpha Rock] Everybody, we have a new member. While in the forest, Sol and I rescued a pup from a fox. Her name is Ginger.

[The pack stares at Ginger who looks around nervously]

Cyan: [Runs to Ginger and stands snout to snout with her] Hi, I'm Cyan!

Ginger: Uh, hi, I'm Ginger.

Aurora: [Comes over] Cyan, I thought you were asleep.

Cyan: I was pretending. I pretend to be asleep a lot. [Looks at Ginger] I can't believe there's finally another pup for me to play with!

Aurora: What about your cousin?

Cyan: [Frowns] Connie's too young to play with, and she can only say a few words.

Aurora: I guess you're right.

Cyan: So, Ginger, do you wanna play tag with me? [Wags tail]

Ginger: Um, sure!

Aurora: You can't play right now, Cyan. You have to go to bed, remember?

Cyan: What?! I finally have someone to play with, and now you're taking my chance away!

Aurora: You can play with Ginger tommorrow.

Cyan: [Groans] You are so unfair. [Walks out of scene]

Aurora: [Starts following Cyan]

Ginger: Where do I sleep?

Aurora: [Stops] Come with me. [Continues walking]

Ginger: [Follows]

Aurora and Ginger: [Goes into the pup den]

Aurora: This is the pup den where all the pups sleep. Each rank has their own den, so the hunters have a den, the alpha has a den, the beta has a den, the healers has a den, the elders have a den.

Frost: I think she gets it, Aurora.

Ginger: [Lays down on a moss bed] This place is so cool.

Aurora: [Lays down on a moss bed that's beside Frost] I'm glad you think so.

Ginger: Goodnight.

Aurora: Goodnight.

[The camera shows the sun setting, and then it time skips to midnight]

Fox: [Sneaks around the camp and then stops at the pup den]

[The camera shows Ginger sleeping soundly with the fox watching her in the background]

Fox: [Goes inside pup den and carefully picks up Ginger with his mouth]

Fox: [Walks out of the den]

[The camera switches to the elder den]

Sol: [Wakes up suddenly, panting and looking afraid]

Sol: [Sighs] It was... just a dream. [Looks out of the den and sees the fox stealing Ginger]

Sol: [Runs out of the den] Hey!

Fox: [Sees Sol and runs]

Sol: [Runs after the fox] Kidnapper! Er, pupnapper!

Ginger: [Wakes up, looking confused] What the? Whats going on?!

Sol: [Leaps on the fox, making him and the fox roll down a hill]

[Sol and Ginger land on a road and the fox lands beside the road]

Sol: [Sits up, looking dazed] My head... [Looks at Ginger] Are you okay?

Ginger: I think so.

Fox: [Stands beside the road, staring at Sol and Ginger]

Ginger: Huh, I wonder why he isn't coming toward us.

[A car comes driving toward them]

Sol: Run! [Runs off the road] That was a close one. Wait, where's Ginger? [Looks around and sees Ginger frozen on the road in terror] Ginger!

[The car stops in front of Ginger]

[After a few moments, an old lady comes out of the car]

Lady: Oh my, what are you doing out here on the road, and so late at night?

Ginger: [Tries to run]

Lady: [Picks her up] Don't be scared. I'll bring you somewhere safe.

Sol: [Starts running toward the lady]

Fox: [Pulls Sol back by the tail] What are you doing?!

Sol: I'm saving her, that's what! Now let me go!

Fox: You'll get us killed!

Sol: What do you care?! We aren't friends!

Fox: I'm saving myself, not you!

Sol: I'd be getting captured, not you!

Ginger: Sol, help!

Sol: [Turns around and sees the lady putting Ginger in her car] No! [Kicks the fox and runs to the road]

Lady: [Closes the car door and drives away]

Sol: I'm coming Ginger! [Runs after the car, but is too slow]

Fox: [Walks over to Sol] Welp, she's gone.

Sol: [Turns around angrily] This is all your fault!

Fox: You're the one that made us roll down the hill!

Sol: You're the one who stole Ginger in the first place!

Fox: Well, I had to!

Sol: What do you mean, you had to?

Fox: You wouldn't understand, dog.

Sol: Stop calling me dog. My name is Sol.

Fox: My name is Oak, and I'm still going to call you dog.

Sol: [Groans and rolls eyes] Of course you are. Now, we need to rescue Ginger.

Oak: We?

Sol: This is your fault, so you have to help.

Oak: Um, no.

Sol: Um, yes.

Oak: I'm not helping you with anything.

Sol: Please.

Oak: Pfft, I'm out of here. [Starts walking away]

Sol: [Jumps in front of him] You're going no where other than the lady's house.

Oak: Even if I decided to... help you, how would we even find her house?

Sol: I have a very good sniffer. I could sniff out a trail to her house.

Oak: Well, what do you need my help with?

Sol: I'd need you to distract the lady while I get Ginger out of the house.

Oak: What?! She could kill me!

Sol: I don't think she means any harm. She probably just wanted to help Ginger.

Oak: Then why don't you let her keep Ginger?

Sol: Because she's a part of my pack now! I can't just leave her. I know it's a lot to ask, but can you please help me get her back?

Oak: [Glares]

Sol: There will be a reward.

Oak: What kind of reward?

Sol: Prey. Lots of prey. My pack has tons. They'd be happy to share.

Oak: Happy to share with a dog or wolf, sure, but a fox?

Sol: They will if I tell them you helped save me.

Oak: Fine, I'll help.

Sol: Thank you! [Looks at the road] We better get going.

Oak: We're going now?

Sol: [Looks back at Oak] Of course we're going now.

Oak: Well, I think we should leave in the morning. Then, we have time to improve the plan more. Plus, I'm tired, and I can't do stuff when I'm tired.

Sol: I guess you're right. But... I can't return to my pack without Ginger.

Oak: You can sleep in my den.

Sol: Really?

Oak: Yeah.

Sol: Gee, thanks.

Oak: Come on. I'll lead you to it.

[The camera pans out, but you can see Oak and Sol walking]

Oak: Just don't sleep right next to me or else you're going outside. I don't want dog stink on me.

Sol: You already have yucky fox stink on you. What harm could dog stink do?

Oak: Shut up.

Sol: [Laughs]

[Time skip to morning, show the old lady's house]

Sol: [Sneaks toward the house, does a hand gesture for Oak to follow]

Oak: [Nervously follows Sol, his eyes are flicking around anxiously]

Lady: [Walks out of the door, holding Ginger]

Sol: [Whispers] She came out! I guess we won't need to sneak into her house after all.

Oak: [Whispers] Um, dog, she's heading toward the car. And she has your friend.

Sol: Oh no! [Runs toward the lady]

Oak: Come back here! [Sees that Sol is already at the lady] Stupid dog!

[Camera shows Sol]

Sol: [Skids into a halt at the lady's foot]

Lady: [Turns around after putting Ginger into her car] Why, hello there! [Bends down to pick up Sol]

Sol: [Tries to run, but is lifted by the old lady]

Lady: You must be the little puppy's mommy. [Looks down] Er, daddy.

Sol: Put me down!

Lady: [Puts him into the car, beside Ginger]

Sol: No! [Tries to run out, but the lady shuts the car door]

Ginger: Sol! I was starting to think you had forgotten about me... but now you're here!

Sol: [Ducks his head sadly, looking ashamed] It doesn't matter. [Looks at Ginger] The human is taking us to the pound now.

Ginger: [Looks confused but curious] What's that?
