Here is the third episode of season 2. It is also one of the first fairytale themed episodes I created. The story plot for this episode is based on Disney's "Fun and Fancy Free". The monsters and aliens tell their own version of "Jack and the Beanstalk" with themselves as the main protagonists and Dr. Cutter from "The Mystery of Doctor Cutter" as the evil giant. The bolded words are Susan telling the story.
The monsters and aliens all sat in the recreation room, board out of their minds and figuring out what to do. A big storm had caused the base's power to go out, causing the building to become pitch black. Every room on the base was lite up with lots of candles, each giving the room a flickering glow.
The monsters and aliens were board because along with the lights, the storm also cut the cable, which meant that they couldn't watch TV. They also couldn't do anything active inside the base because of the possibility of accidentally knocking over one of the candles and causing a fire. And playing outside was defiantly out of the question since it was pouring and thundering.
"What do you guys want to do now?" Link asked everyone in a moany board tone of voice. Everyone thought for a moment of what else they could do for fun.
"Shadow puppets?" Dr. Cockroach suggested.
"Been there, done that." Susan responded "Charades?"
"Boring." Link answered.
"Scribble?" B.O.B suggested with a smile.
"Okay B.O.B, first of all, it's Scrabble." Dr. Cockroach said "And second of all, we played that game almost seven times already. Besides you can never spell a word right, or you use words that don't even exist."
"I can spell blue." B.O.B said to him.
"Blue doesn't have a W in it." Dr. Cockroach said.
"Um, I'm pretty sure it does Doc." B.O.B argued giggling "B-L-E-W"
"Never mind, why don't we tell a story instead." Susan chimed in. B.O.B, Link and Dr. Cockroach suddenly pricked up their attention towards her.
"Yea, we never done that." Link agreed with her "Why don't you tell it Sues, you're great at telling stories."
"Yea tell us a fairy tale!" B.O.B said excited.
"Okay." Susan said. She thought for a minute before she finally came up with a story to tell "Okay, this one is a classic that has been told for many years. I'm going to tell my own version of it. This is a story that everyone should know."
"Yea, but not everyone should tell it." Sta'abie said "I you know who."
"Well I'm going to tell it anyway." Susan said, ignoring Sta'abie's insult. She then began to tell her own version of the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk", or in her version "The Monsters, Aliens and a Beanstalk."
"The story took place a long time ago, during the dust bowl in the 1930's. It was a time of droughts and sandstorms that caused major damage to farmlands. Farmers were left without food or water and the soil was too dry to grow anything. It was a worst environmental disaster in American history that lasted almost ten years.
In a farmhouse located in the middle of nowhere, there lived seven orphans and their pet Vornicarn. The orphans were known as the Monsters and Aliens. The poor orphans had no money and very little food. The only food that they had was one slice of bread, which they shared by cutting it into slices as thin as a piece of paper in order to make it last longer. And in their food jar, there was naught left but beans…. Beans, what am I saying? I mean bean. Now it would be beans if it were three beans and one monster or alien. But no, one bean, and four monsters and three aliens. Well at least there are no bones in it.
The Monsters and aliens sat at the table as Susan cut the bread and bean into 7 thin slices. Their tummies rumbled as they each received their slices of small portions of the only food they had. They all struggled to maintain life. All of them skin and bones. Truly a picture of despair. But neither of them whimper. Nor do they give up."
"SHUT UP!" Sta'bie's character shouted "I CANT STAND IT!" She couldn't take the starvation; she aggressively grabbed everyone's plate and eating utensils and started eating them like crazy.
"Sta'abie stop! Sta'abie!" Susan shouted, grabbing her, wanting to keep her from eating anymore of their plates and utensils. B.O.B, Link, Dr. Cockroach, Sqweep and Coverton hoped in to help Susan try to calm Sta'bie down. Everyone grabbed Sta'abie and forced her to bend over the table. Link then made her cough up the shards of the plates and the forks and spoons by patting her back really hard. As soon as the shards and silver wear were out, everybody released her.
"There now, easy girl." Susan said to her calmly.
"I'll be alright." Sta'abie responded, her starvation made the room seem like it was spinning "I'll be alright, I'll be alright." She all of a sudden spotted the hatchet that hung on the wall. A crazy look developed on her face as she looked at everyone to make sure nobody was looking. Everyone was too busy, staring sadly at their food. Sta'abie slowly sneaked away from the table and went over to steal the hatchet.
"She says she's alright, but I wonder. She suffered too much. But what's this? What diabolical plan is being hatched in the brain of this demented female alien?"
Dr. Cockroach looked up from his food and noticed both Sta'abie and the hatchet were gone "Sta'abie!" she said in horror. Wondering what she was up to, everyone looked out the window and saw Sta'abie walking slowing towards Vornicarn with a crazy smile on her face. She was holding the hatchet behind her back.
"Vornicarn, come here Vornicarn." She said in a sing songy way.
"STA'ABIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Susan shouted. Hearing Susan's voice and knowing that she was discovered, Sta'abie began to go crazy, screaming in madness and charged at Vornicarn, holding the hatchet over her head. Vornicarn was frightened by Sta'abie's crazy behavior and tried to run away but was cornered into the wooden fence. Sta'abie held the hatchet over her head, ready to chop Vornicarn to pieces so she can eat him. But just as she was about to strike, Susan ran outside, changed into Ginormica and grabbed the hatchet out of her hand.
"STA'ABIE NO!" Susan shouted as she grabbed the hatchet. Desperate to eat something, Sta'abie hoped on Vornicarn, bite him on the head and chewed, trying to tear off a piece of his purple flesh. Susan as Ginormica grabbed Sta'abie's legs and tried to pull her away from Vornicarn. After she struggeled for a few seconds, the other jumped in to help. When they finally got her off of Vornicarn, they grabbed her arms and legs and pinned her to the ground.
"Release me….. I must eat something…. I'm so…. Hungry." Sta'abie said weakened and panting in both exhaustion and hunger. The monsters and the aliens were all worried about each other. How long would it be before all became delusional like Sta'abie? Or worse, cannibal?
