The Nightclub Special : Frankie's Birthday
Since it was her friend Frankie's birthday, Becky borrowed her older sister Katie's nightclub for the evening to throw her a party, mainly because it worked out cheaper than a card, wrapping paper and present.
"So, who do you think I ought to invite?" Becky asked Katie.
"Don't know, but I think Orlando Bloom characters are a pretty safe bet. And Keanu Reeves, of course. And Pippin."
"Cool. Hey, can I use your weird remote control that lets me jump between films and stuff?"
"Yeah. Go for it."
"Cool."
At Glenrowan Tavern, in the middle of the shootout
"Oh, for goodness' sake, boys and their toys," said Becky, picking her way around broken furniture. "Now, where's Joe?"
There was a clatter from the other side of the bar. "Hey, I think I'll have a drink!" said Joe, standing up. Becky ran over and grabbed him.
"Hey, how you doin'?" asked Joe with a wink as he reached for the glass.
"Trust me, you really don't want to do that," she said, pulling him into a safe corner.
"Why not?" asked Joe, trying to get back to the bar.
Becky pulled out her portable TV and showed him the bit of the film that would show him why exactly he shouldn't approach the bar in the middle of the shootout.
"Ouch! I mean, a couple of inches to the left and my life really would have been over, if you know what I mean!" said Joe.
Becky rolled her eyes. "OK, enough of the innuendo. Do you want to come to my friend Frankie's birthday party?"
"Oh man, I don't know..."
"There'll be lots of girls there."
"Really?"
"Yeah. In fact, she goes to an all-girls school."
Joe's eyes lit up. "Yeah, count me in. When is it?"
"Tomorrow. Here's an invitation."
"Cool. Can I bring a friend?"
"Like who?"
"I don't know. Anyone."
"Yeah, OK."
"Great."
"Good. One down, a hell of a lot more to go. See you later."
Becky pressed a button on the remote and vanished into thin air.
"Wow. That doesn't even make any sense," marvelled Joe, before returning his attentions to the barmaid.
In the pirates' cave
"Elizabeth's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really, except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman," said Jack Sparrow with a flourish. Will rolled his eyes. "Hey, guys," said Becky, as she appeared on the spot with a loud pop. "Aaaargh!" screamed everyone. "A ghost!" screeched the pirates. "I'm not a ghost, you fools," said Becky impatiently. "I've come to ask Will and Jack if they'll come to my friend Frankie's birthday party." "Can I come?" asked Barbossa. "No," said Becky. "Why?" asked Barbossa. "Are you Orlando Bloom?" "No." "Are you Keanu Reeves?" "No." "Are you even remotely good-looking?" "No." "Would you bring a present?" "No." "There you go then," said Becky, handing invitations to Jack and Will. Barbossa burst into tears. "Hell's bells," muttered Becky. "What is it?" "Nobody loves me!" he sobbed. "Fine. Fine, fine, fine." Becky handed him an invitation. "But at least bring a gift." She pressed another button on the remote and vanished. "Now, where was I?" said Jack. "Ah, yes. So, Elizabeth's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised-" "Here we go," muttered Will. "-And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really, except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman." "Say that one more time and blood will be spilt," growled Barbossa. "You see, this is why no-one likes you," said Will angrily. Barbossa began to sob again. "What? You said yourself that everyone hated you!" said Will, baffled at this sudden display of emotion. "But you didn't have to say it!" wailed Barbossa. "Big bully!"
In the Matrix, Neo is flying to catch Trinity.
"Hello!" said Becky cheerily, popping up in front of him. "Aaargh!" Neo swerved sideways and crashed into a wall. "Who are you?" "My name's Becky. Will you come to my friend Frankie's birthday party?" "Now's not really a good time," he said, looking at his watch. "Why?" "I need to go and rescue my girlfriend, who is plummeting towards earth as we speak." "Oh. Let's make this quick, then. Will you come?" "When is it?" "Tomorrow night." "Well, I think there's meant to be an orgy at Morpheus' house then, but nothing's final..." "Really? Who told you that?" "Justin Timberlake." "Ewww..." There was a loud crash from further up the street and a car alarm went off. "Dammit!" yelled Neo. "I missed her again!" "You idiot, Neo! The one thing you can do, the one thing and you can't even do that right!" yelled Trinity from the top of the now squashed car. "That really hurts, you know!" "Sorry dear!" Neo shouted back. "Now look what you've done! She won't want to go to the orgy now..." "Oh well. So, you want to come to the party?" "Yeah. Go for it." "Cool. Bring the other Keanus, OK?" Becky pressed another button on the remote and disappeared again. "Neo!" screamed Trinity. "Get your ass over here and help me get up!" "Coming, dear!"
At the Council of Elrond
"We are gathered here to discuss the future of Middle Earth," began Elrond, leaning forward in his chair. "It's looking bad." "Oh, lighten up, Dad," said Elladan. "Yeah! We brought beer!" yelled Elrohir. "And chocolate!" said Figwit. "And pipe-weed!" yelled Sam. "And electrolyte-free mineral water!" said Legolas. Everyone looked at him. "You just had to ruin it, didn't you, pretty boy," said Elladan disgustedly. "What? I also have low-calorie, soya tofu dip," said Legolas encouragingly. "You are not welcome at this party," said Elrohir. "It's not a party! It's a meeting! A serious meeting!" protested Elrond. "Excuse me, can I just butt in quickly?" said Becky, appearing with a loud pop. "No," said Elrond. "Sure. What's up?" asked Elladan. "I want to invite Legolas and Pippin to my friend Frankie's birthday party," said Becky. "Can I come?" asked Frodo. "Well..." Becky was about to refuse, but suddenly she remembered Barbossa's reaction to this. She didn't want to think about the sort of paddy that Frodo could throw. "Sure, why not. Everyone can come!" "I don't want to come," said Elrond sulkily. "Then don't, Mr Fussy-Pants," said Becky impatiently. "You're mean!" Elrond's face began to crumple. "Look, I'm sorry. You can come, OK? OK?" "No." "Oh, fine. I'll see those of you who do want to come at the party tomorrow." She put a stack of invitations on the central pillar and pressed a button on the remote, before vanishing. "So, back to the dip and mineral water," said Legolas, pulling out a brown paper bag. "Get out," said Elladan.
