This has to be the strangest thing I've ever written. I based it off of a new series I'm beggining to write called "Sherlock Holmes Spoof." (I do have a version up but I don't like the way it's going so I'm re-writing it.) But yeah, it goes with a gag in the spoof where Watson goes out to get a dog and they find out that he can talk and act humanly... o0
Yeah, I know that that first line is really cheesy, but I had to cut down so much to make it 221 words. A true challenge this was, and I enjoyed it.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sherlock Holmes or any related characters!
Sherlock Holmes was about to solve a mystery. In his hands he held two test tubes with a chemical in each. He motioned to pour one into the other.
"If this turns orange, it's a man's life," he explained to Dr. Watson, who was watching intently. Just as he was about to pour it, the door burst open and a dog entered, holding a plate of…
"GUESS WHO MADE WAFFLES?!"
Holmes froze and his hands shook with frustration.
"Toby," he strained, "Not now, I have to-"
"AAAAAAHHHHHAAAHHH!!" Toby screamed and ran around the room. Magically, the waffles stayed in place.
"Aw," Watson teased, "Toby made waffles for you."
"Why did you get that dog?" Holmes yelled over the tantrum.
"Come now, you like Toby and you know it. Just humor him."
Holmes sighed. "Fine…"
The good doctor whistled to the dog, "Hey boy, Shlocky will have some."
Toby instantly stopped and with a, "YAY!!" put the plate on the table and abruptly left the room.
Holmes glanced at Watson, "Shlocky?"
"It's what he calls you."
"Okay…" Holmes quickly ran the test. He sighed in relief when it turned green, "You know, you never told me where you found him."
"I picked him off of an actor who traveled too much and couldn't keep him. I think his name was Jeremy Brett."
