Yes, the Christmas fic disappeared, as it never really got off the ground in the first place. However, teh Eds survived, and the full Christmas Carol can be found in their section. I now present: Hercules.
It was a sad morning at camp for Calvin. No matter what he did, he felt as if no one ever appreciated the fact that he was acting like a hero every day. But what makes a true hero, you ask? Well, that's what our---
"Hold on a second. It's me, Snoopy. This is nice and all, but a pretty dull intro. Can I try my own take on how this should start?"
I suppose...
"Good."
(Sung to the tune of "The Gospel Truth")
Snoopy: One day at summer camp He felt really bad But in this parody And that is my intro
Calvin was feeling down on his luck
Everyone held him responsible
When things went amok
Despite adventures
Wherever he stepped
He had saved the day countless times
It's like he never slept
He'll learn that he's not bad
It's true
Perhaps he'll stop being so sad
And you
Will see him stop evil in its tracks
And that's the sort-of truth
He's too much of guy to just relax
A summer tale
Based on myths long ago
This saying you'll soon be bored of
That's the sort-of truth
It was true. Calvin sat in a corner that morning, complaining to Hobbes. "It's not fair! I'm never remembered for the great stuff I do! Thanks to Linus, I was even cheated out of being king! This stinks!"
"But," said Hobbes, "you manage to cause a lot of the trouble around here as well."
"Still! I should be treated like the hero I really am! I got rid of the annoying egos running around!"
"But you also sent them here in the first place."
"I saved everyone from the clones!"
"But you also made them."
"I stopped the Darkling!"
"Well, there was that, but no one was around to see it."
"See? No appreciation!"
The two of them suddenly heard the loud voice of Eddy nearby, ranting about how great one of his scams was. "Hey! Come into my 'Zero to Hero' booth! You'll be appreciated for a change! Come on, everybody!"
Calvin was first in line. He paid Eddy some quarters and stepped into the booth they had set up. Inside, all there was were a few toy monsters with a sign that said "Step on me." Calvin did. A recording came on of Eddy's grating voice saying "You're a hero!"
Disappointed, Calvin stepped out. A few other kids had seen inside. Instantly, they tore down the booth and Calvin grabbed his money back. Eddy was getting booed away by everyone else.
"Go back to the cave you crawled out of!" called Kevin.
"You'll see!" Eddy shot back at them. "Someday, I'll make a scam so great, you'll have to hand your money to me! You'll have no choice!"
The kids laughed again "You kill me!" called Sarah. Eddy stomped away. "If only..." he hissed. At least I'm not as hated as he is, thought Calvin to himself.
"If there's one guy who you don't want to get steamed up," narrated Snoopy, "It's Eddy, 'cause he had an evil plan..."
He was a whiny brat
He ripped the kids off with his scamming booth
He was as mean as he was ruthless
And that's the sort-of truth
He made a plan to shake things up
And that's the sort-of truth
As you may have figured out from the Lion King fic, my casts aren't really consistant. Hobbes gets a Meg-ish role, but there's no romance or anything. Calvin is obvoiusly Herc and Eddy is mean old Hades.
