I thought I'd try something different. This is straight up AU. My OC Basil will be filling a humorously large amount of roles. Enjoy and review.

Judge Dick Andrews

Reporter Tina Kwee sat in the front row of the courthouse. She had tried taking notes but she was halfway to not caring. It was just Brad Von Chilstein and Basil Hagen fighting again. By next week, it would have been three years that this had been going on.

"You hit me over the head with a ukulele!" Brad was holding a bag of ice on his head. That had been an hour ago and already they were in court. Things always moved quickly when both Brad and Basil were involved.

By Brad's side was his lawyer: Chaz Moneranian. Brad must have been either stupid or insane to make Chaz his lawyer but there he was as Brad's lawyer. "You heard it your honor! Basil Hagen tried to kill my client!"

Who was Basil's lawyer? Holger Holgaart! That's who was Basil's lawyer!

It didn't really matter. No matter who the lawyer was Basil always ended up in jail for a day because the judge was Dick Andrews. Dick always favored Brad and Chaz. So what if Brad had hit Basil in the head first with the ukulele? Brad was the number three box office star in the country! Who would the only judge in town believe? Brad or Basil? The answer was Brad. Actually whenever someone went up against Brad it was always Brad that came out on top.

Dick slammed his hammer down. "A day in jail! Take Basil Hagen away and put a bird in his cell!"

Basil had a colossal fear of birds. Dick ordering a bird to be put in Basil's cell with him was just Dick being himself. To Tina that seemed really cruel. What next? Put a monkey in with Holger when next he slipped on a banana peel?

Tina watched as Basil was led away. The look of fear on his face at the thought of sharing a cell with a bird was disturbing. Normally it wouldn't look disturbing but given the amount of disfigurement of Basil's face it did.

Tina then looked at the ring on her finger. Just one week to go!
