Legsy the Orc Slayer
DISCLAIMER: I do not own 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and/or 'The Lord of the Rings'.

'LEGSY THE ORC SLAYER' [SLASH]

Chapter One

Scene: The Bronze. It is filled with the usual crowd. A beautiful blond Elf opens the door and enters. His long hair is a bit messy and there are a few smudges on his lovely face from having slain a gang of Orcs.

LEGSY (thinking to himself): I hope I'm not too late. Is he still here?

Aragorn the tall dark-haired mysterious stranger who a few days ago met Legsy for the first time is waiting for the beautiful blond Elf, the Chosen One. Suddenly a gorgeous brunette swoops over and drapes herself over Aragorn.

ARWENELIA: Hello, handsome. Buy me a drink? Or how about asking me to dance?

ARAGORN: Huh? Oh, hello. I'm waiting for someone.

ARWENELIA: You mean you WERE waiting for someone. Here I am, you lucky hunk, you!

Legsy sees Arwenelia clinging to Aragorn with her face a mere two inches from the handsome face of Aragorn. Legsy notices how sexy and alluring Arwenelia is looking this evening.

LEGSY (thinking to himself): I feel so ugly compared to her. I should just leave before Aragorn sees me.

But it is too late. Aragorn looks up and sees Legsy. He pries Arwenelia's hands off of himself and smiles apologetically to her.

ARAGORN: Legsy!

He rushes over to meet the Elf.

ARAGORN (thinking to himself): When will I work up the courage to tell him that I love him?

Chapter Two

VOICE OF GANDALF: Previously on Legsy the Org Slayer:

Scene: It is Legsy's first day at this school. He enters the school library. He sees an old man behind the counter.

LEGSY: Hello. Are you the librarian?

GANDALF: Yes, I am.

Gandalf's eyes widen when he sees Legsy.

LEGSY: I'm Legsy Greenleaf. It's my first day here, so I'm here to get the books I'll need for my classes.

GANDALF: Yes. Yes, indeed. I know exactly which book you'll need.

The librarian ducks down behind the counter, then comes back up holding a very thick ancient book. He places it on the counter. Legsy's eyes widen in horror when he reads the cover: ORCS

LEGSY: There's some mistake. That's not a book I'd need.

GANDALF: But you are the Chosen One. Legsy Greenleaf, right?

LEGSY (thinking to himself): I thought I could make a fresh start here by transferring to this school! Aagghh! Please, no more Orcs!

Jump to next scene.

Scene: School Library. Legsy, Gandalf and the rest of the 'Scooby gang' are meeting to discuss what evil they must face next.

GANDALF: According to the Wizards' Council someone is crossbreeding Orcs with Goblins to create a hybrid creature that can come out in the daylight and travel very, very quickly.

LEGSY: So much for only having to deal with fighting Orcs at night.

Jump to next scene.

Scene: Hallway in the school.

PRINCIPAL WORMTONGUE: You're trouble, Legsy Greenleaf. I can smell trouble a mile away, and I know it's only a matter of time before you'll do something that'll give me a good reason to expel you from this school.

LEGSY: I don't know what you're talking about, Principal Wormtongue. I'm just a regular student here to get an education.

PRINCIPAL WORMTONGUE: Don't put on this innocent act with me. I've got my eye on you.

Chapter Three

ARWENELIA: I wish Legsy Greenleaf had stayed in Mirkwood and had never moved here to this town!

EOWYN (who is really a vengeance demon): Done!

Everything is changed, as Arwenelia learns over the course of the day. People are wearing clothes that are drab in color, the parking lot at the high school is empty, she has no car, and there is an early curfew for everyone. What shocks her most is when she is told by one of her classmates that Frodo and Sam are 'gone'.

Now, in this world created as a result of Arwenelia's wish, Saruman has found a way to turn good innocent Hobbits into his evil minions. Arwenelia is about to meet two of them.

It is still Arwenelia's first day in this world created as a result of her wish. The sun has already set hours ago. She is terrified because earlier right after the sun had set she was chased by Orcs. She runs, then screams when she is stopped by a short figure who suddenly comes in front of her and grabs her. When she sees who it is, she stops screaming and breathes a sigh of relief.

ARWENELIA: Sam! Thank goodness! I heard you were gone!

SAMWISE: Gone? Do I look like I'm gone?

ARWENELIA: Sam, what's happened? Everything is so different! It's weird.

FRODO (slowly approaching): Oh, pooh. It's no fun when they're not screaming.

ARWENELIA (eyes wide when she sees Frodo): Frodo? Wow. That's a whole new look on you.

Frodo is no longer wearing his usual country gentleman garments. He is dressed in a sexy hot black leather jacket and black pants. His demeanor has changed, too.

Sam puts his arm around Frodo's shoulder. Frodo rests his head on Sam's shoulder.

ARWENELIA: What's this? I wish us into Bizarro-world and you two are STILL together? I can't win!

SAMWISE: You got that right.

Samwise instantly changes into a scary looking Demon-Hobbit with fangs. Arwenelia screams, turns and runs.

FRODO (smiling): Now that's more like it.

Samwise chases Arwenelia, easily catches up with her, knocks her down to the ground where she falls, hits her head on the street and is rendered unconscious. Sam is about to sink his fangs into her when suddenly a van pulls up. The doors open and out come Boromir wielding a sword and Gimli wielding an ax.

BOROMIR: Get away from her!

SAMWISE: Damn!

Samwise and Frodo scowl, turn and run away into the night.

Boromir and Gimli quickly scoop up Arwenelia and carry her into the back of the van. They get back inside and the van takes off. Gandalf is behind the steering wheel.

Scene: Gandalf's home. Arwenelia is awake and sees Gandalf.

ARWENELIA: Gandalf! Thank goodness you're here! Wait a second! If you're here, then where is Legsy? He should be here, too! He's the Slayer! And you're his Wizard!

GANDALF (stunned): How on earth do you know about that?

ARWENELIA: All right, I admit it! I made a wish! It was stupid, but at the time it didn't seem stupid! I made a wish, that new girl in school granted it somehow, and now everything is different! I wish I had never made that wish! Things were better before! Sure, it wasn't perfect, but people were happy!

GANDALF: Let's go to the school library where I can do some research on this.

Scene jumps to the school library.

Samwise and Frodo suddenly appear. Samwise pushes Gandalf into the caged room and locks the door. Then he and Frodo kill Arwenelia while Gandalf helplessly watches in horror. The two evil Demon-Hobbits snicker, toss Arwenelia's lifeless body to the floor as if it was an empty snack container, then turn and saunter out of the library.

Scene jumps back to Gandalf's home. Boromir and Gimli had found Gandalf, freed him from the caged room and helped transport the dead body of Arwenelia back to Gandalf's home.

BOROMIR: So the world today sucks because this dead chick made a stupid wish?

GANDALF: It would appear so. She said that Legsy was supposed to be here. That would be the Slayer. I'll have to make some phone calls to see about getting him here.

Scene jumps to the Bronze. It is no longer a nightclub filled with happy customers dancing and drinking. It has been taken over by Orcs and Saruman.

SARUMAN: You two are my best minions.

Samwise and Frodo smile at his approval.

FRODO: Can I play with the puppy now?

SARUMAN: Very well.

Saruman hands him a key.

FRODO: Oh, goodie!

Scene jumps to the basement of the Bronze. We see a large caged room. A silhouette of a figure lying on the floor of the cage slowly moves when he hears Frodo approaching.

FRODO: Oh, puppy! Hello, puppy! Your sweet loving Frodo is here to play with you!

We can now see who is in the cage. It is Aragorn. He is naked from the waist up, and he is chained to the wall. He is not happy to see who his visitor is.

Frodo uses the key that Saruman gave him to open the cage door. He smiles as he walks closer to Aragorn. Frodo carries something behind his back that he does not allow Aragorn to see just yet.

FRODO: We're going to have fun, aren't we, puppy?

Aragorn glares at the evil Demon-Hobbit, for he has a pretty good idea what is in store for him. Frodo now shows Aragorn what it is he was carrying behind his back.

ARAGORN (thinking to himself): NO!

Scene jumps to the dark streets where we see Gandalf's van. The Wizard, Boromir and Gimli are in the middle of rescuing some civilians from Orcs when they are jumped by more Orcs. The Wizard and his friends are about to be defeated when suddenly arrows come flying, hit the Orcs who then scream and disappear into clouds of dust. Gandalf looks up in surprise and sees a tall blond Elf.

LEGSY: You called for a Slayer?

Scene jumps to the basement of the Bronze. Legsy enters. He is searching for clues on finding Saruman and the Orcs. The Elf sees a dark silhouette lying in the large caged room.

ARAGORN: Legsy!

Legsy is surprised to hear his name called out like that.

LEGSY: Do I know you?

ARAGORN: No, but I know of you. Let me out of here, please.

LEGSY: Why should I? You must be locked up in there for a reason.

ARAGORN: It's not a good reason. Please, Legsy. I can help you find Saruman! I know where he is! Believe me, you and I are on the same side!

LEGSY: Why should I believe you?

ARAGORN: Would you believe what he did to me? Look over there! See that box?

Legsy sees a box on the floor of the cage. He reads aloud the words on the front of the box.

LEGSY: 'Bow-Wow Bitz'?

ARAGORN: Frickin' dog biscuits! Saruman let that Demon-Hobbit Frodo force-feed me dog biscuits! The whole frickin' boxful! That is one sick twisted Demon-Hobbit! You should have heard him cooing and whispering to me to be a good puppy and eat my biscuits! Gah!!!

Legsy stares at Aragorn and shakes his head in pity.

LEGSY: Dude, I gotta get you out of here.

The Elf frees Aragorn from the cage. They rush up the stairs.

LEGSY: So where is Saruman?

Chapter Four

Scene: The basement of the Bronze. Legsy has just finished freeing Aragorn and they are running up the stairs.

LEGSY: So where is Saruman?

ARAGORN: He and the Orcs are on the other side of town in a warehouse that they've turned into a factory. I heard them talking about it. Legsy, Saruman has big plans for this factory.

LEGSY: What kind of plans?

ARAGORN: The kind that will make your blood run cold just thinking about it. The people living here in town are doomed unless we stop him!

LEGSY: Details, man. Give me details.

ARAGORN: It'll be easier if I just show you. Let's go.

Scene jumps to Gandalf's home. He is peering at a beautiful necklace and comparing it to an illustration in one of his many books on ancient magic.

GANDALF (thinking to himself): It's a good thing I had the sense to take this necklace from the dead body of Arwenelia before Boromir and Gimli cremated her. This necklace may hold the key to saving all of us.

The Wizard recites a spell from the book. The necklace glows. Then from the corner of the room a figure appears as if from nowhere. It is Eowyn and her face is that of her true demon self.

EOWYN: How dare you use my necklace to summon me? Do you have any idea of the consequences of a male summoning a vengeance demon?

GANDALF: I had no choice. You're the only one who can change things back to the way it's all supposed to be. This is all your doing, isn't it?

EOWYN: Yes! I had no idea of the magnitude of the changes caused by that girl's wish. I love it! What makes you think I'm going to help you change it back?

GANDALF: You have no right to do this! I demand you reverse that wish!

EOWYN: No! And you are in no position to make demands on me! Give me back my necklace!

Scene jumps to the other side of town where the factory is. Aragorn and Legsy sneak inside. They see many innocent captives, including Gandalf's friends Boromir and Gimli who were swept up in a recent capture by the Orcs.

ARAGORN (whispering to Legsy): Legsy, if we both make it out of here alive after this is over, what say we catch a dinner and a show, and then head on over to my place? You're one hot-looking Slayer.

LEGSY (whispering back to Aragorn): In your dreams, dude.

ARAGORN (whispering to Legsy): I can't help thinking that in another time and place your answer would be more along the lines of, "I thought you'd never ask!" Or even better, "Let's skip dinner and the show and just go straight over to your place where you can shag me rotten!"

LEGSY (staring in disbelief, then whispering back to Aragorn): Are we here to stop Saruman or talk about your pervy desires for Elf muffin?

ARAGORN (whispering back to Legsy): All right, all right. But just try to keep an open mind, okay? I'm not a bad-looking dude, am I? Look at me. I'm tall, rugged, muscular, and my face is pleasing to look upon, right?

LEGSY (really annoyed now, whispering back to Aragorn): Can we table this discussion for later?

ARAGORN (whispering back to Legsy): Okay. (pauses) How much later?

LEGSY (rolling his eyes, then whispering back to Aragorn): Gah! All right, already! I'll go out with you! Now will you please work with me on a plan to stop Saruman?

ARAGORN (grinning): Yes! I knew you couldn't resist me!

Scene jumps back to Gandalf's home.

EOWYN: I said give me back my necklace!

GANDALF: Neener-neener-neener! Can't catch me!

The vengeance demon frantically chases the Wizard around the room as he taunts her and keeps the necklace out of her reach.

EOWYN: You are really pissing me off, old man! Don't make me do something you'll regret!

Scene jumps back to the factory where the presence of Aragorn and Legsy has been discovered by Saruman and his minions. All hell breaks loose as the battle ensues between good and evil.

SARUMAN: Get them! Kill them all!

We see the battle in slow motion. Innocent people scream, run and fight as best as they can against Saruman's minions. Aragorn, Legsy, Boromir and Gimli are the main warriors against Saruman and the evil Demon-Hobbits Frodo and Samwise. We see also Merry and Pippin who were turned into evil Demon-Hobbits.

BOROMIR (thinking to himself): Hard to believe those Hobbits were once our friends and that we shared many good times together. Now we may have to kill them. Can I bring myself to strike the fatal blow? Dear Merry! Dear Pippin! OUCH! That hurt! All right, take THAT, you frickin' Hobbit!

Together Boromir and Gimli grab Frodo and throw him against the wall where a large sharp piece of broken wood impales the Demon-Hobbit. Frodo turns into a cloud of dust.

Aragorn receives a fatal wound: a long wooden stake driven through his heart.

ARAGORN (gasping his final breath): LEGSY!

But the Slayer is unaware of Aragorn's demise. He is busy fighting for his own life.

Saruman pushes aside Orcs and people as he moves with determination toward the Slayer. He reaches Legsy, grabs him from behind and with one quick movement, snaps the Elf's neck, thus ending the life of the Slayer.

Scene jumps back to Gandalf's home.

EOWYN (out of breath from chasing the Wizard): You fool! What makes you think the world will be any better than the way it is now if you break my necklace?

GANDALF: Because it HAS to be!

He smashes the necklace with a heavy figurine.

EOWYN: NO!!!!

Everything changes back to the way it was right before Arwenelia made her wish.

ARWENELIA: I wish Legsy Greenleaf had stayed in Mirkwood and had never moved here to this town!

EOWYN (who is no longer a vengeance demon, but doesn't realize it yet): Done!

Nothing changes. Eowyn is puzzled.

ARWENELIA: No. I wish Legsy Greenleaf had never been born!

EOWYN: Done!

Still nothing changes.

Arwenelia walks away thinking out loud what else she'd wish for. Eowyn slowly realizes that her powers are gone and she is now an ordinary high school girl.

We see a group of happy students sitting together and laughing: Legsy, Frodo and Samwise - the best of friends.

The Rawhide Kid Meets Wrangler Jane
DISCLAIMER: I do not own F Troop and/or Johnny Bart the Rawhide Kid (although I wish I sure did, WOOF!)
*************************************

Scene: Wrangler Jane's General Store

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
How's the arm healing, Jane?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Not as fast as I'd like it to heal. Sure was nice of you two to stop by and see how I'm doing.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
You're welcome, Jane. The Captain would have come over himself, but he's busy.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Sure he is. Or maybe Wilton thought I had brought up once too often the subject of us gettin' married one day.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Oh, please don't feel too badly, Jane. You know that if were up to me, you and the Captain would be a happily married couple by now and living in your own cozy home and starting a family.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
How long is a gal supposed to wait? I'm not getting any younger.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
He could do far worse than you, Jane. You're the finest looking woman in these parts. Not to mention the best shooter and rider.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Thanks, Agarn. Well, I appreciate you fellas stopping by to cheer me up, but I've got work to do.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
I see you've posted that 'Help Wanted' sign out front. Has anyone come in to apply for the job?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Not yet. I'm going to need some help real soon. Can't work as well as I used to with this broken arm. And about Wilton, well, I'm going to put him out of my mind for now. Maybe I should start looking elsewhere for a fella.

CPL. RANDLOPH AGARN
You're going to have to get out more if you want to do that, Jane.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Agarn's right, Jane. You can't expect Prince Charming to just walk in through that door.

Just then the door opens and in walks a young cowboy dressed in a white hat and black/blue clothes. He is slight of build and has a boyish pretty face. He smiles, politely removes his hat and reveals a head of beautiful red hair. Then he introduces himself.

YOUNG MAN
Howdy, folks. My name is Johnny Bart. Do you sell any supplies that I can use to help my horse outside? He got injured from stepping into a gopher hole.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Oh, your poor horse! Let me go take a look. We might have some supplies to help him.

She smiles brightly at Johnny and hurries outside with him to see to his horse.

O'Rourke and Agarn look at each other.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Well, he's not Prince Charming, but I'd say he's a close runner-up.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Looks like the Captain might be in for some competition for Jane's affections.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
And that might not be a bad thing for Jane.

They go outside to see Jane and Johnny.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
It looks like a slight sprain. I have just what you need to help him on the road to mendin' good and proper. But you shouldn't ride him for a few days until he's completely healed.

JOHNNY BART
I was thinking the same thing. Is there some place nearby where I can stable him for a while?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
I have a barn where I keep my own horse. You can stable him there.

JOHNNY BART
Why, that's mighty generous and kind of you, Miss. I don't have much money on me now, but I did notice that 'Help Wanted' sign out front. Could I work here to pay you for allowing me to keep my horse in your barn?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Call me Jane. Folks around here call me Wrangler Jane. And if you're applying for the job, you've got it.

JOHNNY BART
That's great! Thank you, Jane.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
I'm afraid I can only pay you room and board. Is that all right?

JOHNNY BART
That'll be fine.

O'Rourke and Agarn again look at each other. They both notice how Jane and Johnny can't seem to take their eyes off of each other.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN (whispering)
Oh, yeah. The Captain's got some competition.

Scene: Later that evening in Jane's home. She and Johnny are finishing dinner.

JOHNNY BART
Dinner was delicious. You're a great cook, Jane.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Thank you, Johnny.

JOHNNY BART
How'd your arm get broken?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
My horse got spooked by a rattlesnake and I fell off. Careless of me.

JOHNNY BART
Happens to the best of us.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
It's a beautiful night outside. Would you like to take a walk with me?

JOHNNY BART
I'd be delighted and honored to accompany you, Jane.

They step outside and enjoy looking up at the stars in the sky. Then they gaze at each other and smile, not saying anything. They are content to simply enjoy each other's company. They feel a slight breeze.

JOHNNY BART
Cold?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
No. Well, maybe just a little.

JOHNNY BART
This might help.

He steps behind her and gently wraps his arms around her. She closes her eyes, leans her head back so it rests on his shoulder and smiles, enjoying the warmth of being held closely to him.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
That feels real nice.

Suddenly a horse and its rider come trotting over. Jane can see who it is.

JOHNNY BART
Are you expecting any visitors this evening?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
No. Wilton Parmenter, what are you doing here?

Johnny starts to remove his arms from around Jane, but Jane stops him by holding onto him.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Good evening, Jane. I finished my reports, so I finally have some free time to see how you are doing.

He is unnerved and annoyed to see Jane embraced in the arms of a strange good-looking young man.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
That's nice of you, Wilton. Wilton, this is Johnny Bart. Johnny, this is Captain Wilton Parmenter of F Troop.

JOHNNY BART
How do you do?

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Fine, thank you. Are you a friend of Jane?

JOHNNY BART
Well, I reckon I must be, seeing as how's she's not objecting to me holding her like this.

Jane smiles to herself.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER (coldly)
I see. Jane, could I have a word with you privately?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Certainly, Wilton. Johnny, would you please excuse us for just a moment?

Johnny removes his arms from around Jane.

JOHNNY BART
Of course. I'll go inside and wash up. I should get ready for bed anyway, seeing as how you're going to need me bright and early tomorrow to help you in the general store. Good night, Captain Parmenter. It was a pleasure to meet you.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
'Evening, Mr. Bart.

He turns to Jane.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
He's getting ready for bed? Here? In your house? Jane, what's going on here? This is scandalous! A strange man staying overnight under the same roof as you?!

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
He's not "strange", Wilton. Johnny Bart is a fine decent man. I hired him earlier today to help me in the store in exchange for room and board. It's not any of your concern.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Not any of my concern? Is that how you think of our relationship?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
We have a relationship? I wouldn't know it from the way you keep changing the subject whenever I want to talk about marriage.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Jane, we've been over this before. I don't think it's a good idea to rush into things.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Rush into things? Wilton, we've been seeing each other for over a year now. That's plenty of time for someone to decide if marriage is down the road or not. But you act like a scared rabbit whenever I want to talk about it.

Captain Parmenter sighs.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Let's talk about this tomorrow. Will you be free for lunch then?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
I don't know. I'll see how the day goes. Things might be busy in the general store.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Busy as in with customers or busy as in with your new good-looking young hired hand?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Oh, do you think Johnny is good-looking? I really hadn't noticed.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Oh, for crying out loud! Good-night, Jane! If you want to talk about us, then come on over to my office tomorrow at noon and we'll discuss it over lunch.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Don't hold your breath waiting for me, Wilton. Good-night.

She turns and heads inside the house, closing the door behind her.

Captain Parmenter is disappointed that she did not give him a good-night kiss. He is worried about this Johnny Bart fellow showing up in Wrangler Jane's life.

Scene: The bunkhouse shared by O'Rourke and Agarn.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Agarn, have you seen Captain Parmenter?

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
He rode over to see Wrangler Jane a few minutes ago.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Really? I figured he'd be avoiding her for a least another week since he's so skittish about the marriage subject.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Well, maybe it might have had something to do with my casually mentioning to him that Wrangler Jane hired on a very good-looking young fella to help out in the store and that this new fella would be staying with her in her very own house.

Sgt. O'Rourke stares at Cpl. Agarn, then grins,

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Agarn, that is brilliant! I don't know why people keep saying you're so dumb!

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Thanks, Sarge! (pauses) Who says I'm dumb?!

Scene: A week later. Wrangler Jane had not met the Captain for lunch to discuss their relationship. In fact, she hadn't seen or spoken to him since that evening when he showed up in front of her house and saw her in the arms of Johnny Bart. We now see the Captain in his office. He is reading a message he received that morning. There is a knock at the door.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Come in.

The door opens. In walk O'Rourke and Agarn.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Good morning, Captain. You sent for us?

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Yes, Sergeant. I've just received some very interesting news about that young fellow working at Wrangler Jane's general store. It turns out he's an outlaw. About two years ago a sheriff put out an arrest for Johnny Bart for shooting a man. And it gets even more interesting. Johnny Bart is none other than the Rawhide Kid!

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
The Rawhide Kid?

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Sarge! Jane's got a celebrity working for her! (sees the stern look on Captain Parmenter's face) Well, you have to admit, the name IS legend around the West. There have been stories told about him fighting criminals and defending the weak and helpless. The Rawhide Kid is practically folklore!

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
The law is the law, gentlemen. Now that we know he's wanted, it's our duty to place him under arrest so that he can be turned over to the proper authorities.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Certainly, Captain. Uh, may I ask how you came to learn about this Johnny Bart being the Rawhide Kid and a wanted outlaw?

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
That name Johnny Bart sounded familiar to me when Jane introduced us. I know I'd heard it before, so I made some official inquiries. Now, men, let's head over to the general store and arrest that outlaw.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Begging the Captain's pardon, but are you sure that's the right thing to do? The stories about the Rawhide Kid say he shot that man in self-defense, and he only wounded him in the arm. He didn't kill him. And the man he shot was a cattle rustler! And the owner of the cattle even told the sheriff that the rustler was about to shoot the kid!

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
And Captain, you'd want to be sure you have the right Johnny Bart. After all, Johnny is a pretty common name. And so is Bart. Why, there could be at least a dozen Johnny Barts scattered throughout the West.

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
That's right! It'd be embarrassing to arrest the wrong one!

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER (reading from the piece of paper in his hands)
"Height 5 feet, 10 inches, weight 185 pounds, eyes blue, hair red." Sound familiar, gentlemen?

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Well, we didn't have a tape measure with us when we met him, or a scale to weigh him, so we can't say 100% for sure that he fits the description, Captain.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
What about the red hair and blue eyes?

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Pretty common around the West, too, sir.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
All right, that's enough stalling! Men, saddle up! We're riding over to the general store to arrest the Rawhide Kid!

O'Rourke and Agarn sadly glance at each other.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Yes, sir!

CPL. RANDOLPH AGARN
Yes, sir!

Scene: Wrangler Jane's general store. Parmenter, O'Rourke and Agarn ride up and enter.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Hello, Jane. Is Johnny Bart here? I don't see him around.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Hello, Wilton. No, I sent him on an errand over at Chief Wild Eagle's. Why do you ask?

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
Oh, no special reason. I thought maybe you fired him or maybe he quit since he's not here.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
You'd like that, wouldn't you? You'd be just tickled pink if he didn't work here anymore.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Excuse me, Jane, but are you about to start a barbecue out front? I noticed the equipment out there.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Why, yes, I am. I figured some barbecued ribs would be nice to serve to Johnny when he gets back from that errand.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
Seeing as how your arm is still not completely healed, why don't you let me and Agarn take care of getting the grill started while you and the Captain have a nice chat? It'll give you both time to catch up since it's been, what, a whole week since you two saw each other?

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
Well, all right. Thanks, O'Rourke.

O'Rourke and Agarn step outside to tend to the barbecue grill.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER (sad puppy look on his face)
Oh, Jane. I don't want us to be mad at each other. I miss you. Really, I do.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT (smiles at Parmenter)
You do? Oh, Wilton! I missed you, too!

She moves closer to him and kisses him. He puts his arms around her and they kiss for a nice long time since he doesn't have to worry about them being in front of the men.

Scene: The camp of Chief Wild Eagle and his tribe. Johnny Bart is there to pick up a shipment of handcrafted blankets.

JOHNNY BART
Chief Wild Eagle, I'm impressed. These blankets are beautiful. Wrangler Jane should have no problem selling these in her store.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
Thank you, Johnny Bart. How do you like working for Jane? She is quite a woman, isn't she?

JOHNNY BART
She certainly is. Hard to believe some fella hasn't already married her by now. She's quite the catch. Beautiful, smart, sweet, and can ride and shoot as well as any man. Better than some, in fact. Say, what's with that Parmenter fella? I got the impression he might be sweet on her, but she won't talk about him to me, and I didn't want to pry by asking her.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
That's a long story. When you have lots of time, sit and I'll tell you all I know about those two from what I've heard.

Suddenly Chief Wild Eagle notices something in the sky.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
A message!

JOHNNY BART
Smoke signals! Looks like it's coming from Jane's store.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
It's for you, Johnny Bart.

JOHNNY BART
Me?! Uh, could you translate it? My smoke signal reading skills leave a bit to be desired.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
Of course.

The Chief translates the message to Johnny.

JOHNNY BART
Well, that's that. I'm afraid I won't able to deliver these blankets to Jane's store.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
Tough break, Kid. Tell you what. I'll send one of my braves to make the delivery for you.

JOHNNY BART
Thanks, Chief. Well, it's a good thing Nightwind's leg healed in time for me to bring him with me. I don't think I'd be able to sneak back to Jane's barn to get him what with Captain Parmenter out looking to arrest me. Time for the Rawhide Kid to move on. Chief, it was a pleasure meeting you.

CHIEF WILD EAGLE
Mine, too. If you are ever in these parts again, don't be a stranger.

JOHNNY BART
I won't. Good-bye, Chief Wild Eagle. Say good-bye to Jane for me.

Johnny Bart a.k.a. the Rawhide Kid rides off toward the horizon.

Scene: Wrangler Jane's general store. It is well past noon. Wrangler Jane, O'Rourke, Agarn and Parmenter are having lunch: barbecued ribs.

CPT. WILTON PARMENTER
These ribs are delicious. Johnny Bart is missing out on a terrific lunch.

WRANGLER JANE ANGELICA THRIFT
I hope he's all right. It's not like him to not return from an errand on time.

SGT. MORGAN O'ROURKE
I'm sure he's fine.

Agarn smiles and nods in agreement.

Scene: Miles away we see the Rawhide Kid.

JOHNNY BART (thinking to himself)
I should thank that O'Rourke fella some day for sending me that smoke signal warning. If I ever run into him, I'll buy him a drink.

THE END

LotR, 3 Musketeers Style
DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Lord of the Rings and/or The Three Musketeers.

Legolas rides on horseback on his way to Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. The Elf arrives at his destination, dismounts and takes in the scenery of Rivendell. He is so distracted by the beauty of it all that he accidentally collides into Aragorn.

LEGOLAS: Excuse me.

ARAGORN: How dare you? Do you think merely saying, ?Excuse me,? is sufficient? Your manners are very bad.

LEGOLAS: I hardly think you are the one to be telling me about bad manners.

ARAGORN: Fine. Let us meet at noon in the main courtyard of Rivendell and settle this matter.

LEGOLAS: See you then.

Legolas continues on his way. Ahead of him is Boromir who has also just arrived at Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. Boromir dismounts from his horse and takes in the beauty of the scenery. Suddenly a strong wind blows Boromir?s cape which envelopes Legolas in its folds.

BOROMIR: What the --! What on earth on you doing?

LEGOLAS (still covered in the cape): Excuse, me, but your cape ?

Boromir pulls his cape off of Legolas and glares at the Elf.

BOROMIR: How dare you? I?ll teach you a lesson about treating the Son of Gondor this way! Meet me at one o?clock in the main courtyard of Rivendell!

LEGOLAS: Fine. See you then.

Legolas continues on his way. Ahead of him is Gimli the Dwarf who has just arrived at Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. Legolas does not notice the Dwarf because he is busy thinking of his meetings at noon and one o?clock, plus Gimli is short and out of his line of vision. Legolas accidentally trips over Gimli.

GIMLI: Blasted Elf! How dare you! You need a proper lesson in showing respect for Dwarfs! Meet me at two o?clock in the main courtyard of Rivendell!

LEGOLAS: Very well. See you then.

Scene: Noon at the main courtyard of Rivendell. Legolas arrives and is surprised to see Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli standing there together.

ARAGORN: Here is the gentleman I am going to fight.

BOROMIR: What? But he?s the one I?m going to fight!

LEGOLAS: But not before one o?clock.

GIMLI: And he?s the one I?m also going to fight!

LEGOLAS: Not until two o?clock. Shall we? On guard!

Legolas draws his bow and arrow and points it at Aragorn.

ARAGORN: An arrow against my sword? Not what I had in mind, but very well.

Just then Lord Elrond appears with a group of his mightiest Elves.

ELROND: What is the meaning of all this? Stop immediately!

ARAGORN: With all due respect, Lord Elrond, this matter does not concern you.

ELROND: I beg to differ! You have all been summoned here for something much more important than whatever petty quarrels you may have between you! Now stand down and come with me immediately! All of you!

Legolas lowers his bow and arrow.

ARAGORN (half-aloud to Boromir and Gimli): Shall we defy Lord Elrond? It is five against three.

LEGOLAS: Right behind you, Lord Elrond.

The Elf turns to look at Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli. He smirks ever so slightly.

ARAGORN (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!

BOROMIR (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!

GIMLI (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!

The Fellowship Bunch
DISCLAIMER: If you think I own The Lord of the Rings and/or The Brady Bunch, you're out of your loving mind.

[Sing this to the tune of The Brady Bunch]
Here's the story of Frodo Baggins,
Who with three other Hobbits left the Shire.
All of them had hairy feet, just like Frodo,
The servant one was Sam.

Here's the story of a brave strong Ranger
Who somehow ended up with many names.
Aragorn, Estel, and Strider
Just to name a few.

Well, then one night these Hobbits met this Ranger
At the Prancing Pony where they stopped to rest.
Later at the Secret Council of Elrond
They learned they'd all be going on a quest.

The Fellowship Bunch,
The Fellowship Bunch,
That's the way we became the Fellowship Bunch!

LotR sung to the theme of The Patty Duke Show
LotR sung to the theme of The Patty Duke Show

DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Lord of the Rings and/or The Patty Duke Show.


Meet Gandalf who's been most everywhere,
From the peaceful Shire to who knows where.
Then Gandalf's friend Saruman the White
Became one that he'd have to fight.
What a crazy pair!

But they're Wizards,
Strong powerful Wizards all the way.
They started out as good friends,
Now different as night and day.

Where Frodo adores the peaceful Shire,
He must cast the ring into the fire,
So Frodo travels to Mt. Doom,
While facing danger and much gloom,
What a quest so dire!

First Black Riders,
A snow storm and crows that spy the land,
Orcs, a Cave Troll and a Balrog,
And then the mighty Uruk-Hai!

You'll lose track of time,
When reading 'The Lord of the Rings'!

LotR: FotR to the tune of Gilligan's Island
The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring
done to the tune of Gilligan's Island

by the Jeanster

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to The Lord of the Rings or to Gilligan's Island or the theme music to Gilligan's Island. If I did, I'd be totally rich. This is written strictly for fun.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started here in Rivendell,
When formed this Fellowship.

'Twas led by a Hobbit who bore the ring,
The Ranger brave and sure.
Nine members of this Fellowship
Will have much to endure, will have much to endure.

The weather started getting rough,
They almost all got crushed,
If not for the courage that carried them through,
Then all would have been lost, then all would have been lost.

They lost the wizard in Moria, but continued on their way,
With Aragorn,
And Frodo too,
And Legolas and the dwarf,
And Boromir,
Plus Hobbits three,
Here in the Fellowship of the Ring!

CLOSING THEME

So this is the tale of the Fellowship,
And Boromir has died.
Frodo wishes he never had the Ring,
So saddened that he cried.

Now Frodo and his servant Sam
Will do their very best,
While apart from the remaining Fellowship,
To finish off this quest.

No dwarf, no elf, no Aragorn,
Now apart from all the rest,
Just Sam and Gollum beside him,
To finish off this quest.

So join us here next year, my friends,
To see The Two Towers,
We'll pick up where this tale left off,
And enjoy another three hours!
