Hey. This is my first fan-fic for Shaun the sheep, so feedback would be appreciated. This fic is actually a challenge for me due to the fact that, obviously there's no dialogue. With things like Penguins of Madagascar [which I've also written for] it's easier because they talk, and it's easy to transform them to human AU.
With Shaun however, he doesn't talk, so I can't add dialogue, and I don't really want to make them Human AU, because in my eyes that makes them all mutes and there defeats the point of doing a human AU, if you're still with me.
I will give dialogue to the farmer though, sue to the fact he does sort-of talk within the show.
So, insanely long authors note out the way, let's skip to the disclaimer, I do not own Shaun the sheep or anything associated with it.
Bitzer was missing.
That was the first thing Shaun noticed as he looked around the yard. Usually the dog would be watching them, clipboard in hand and whistle round his neck. Or occasionally he would be relaxing during which times Shaun usually left him alone because to be frank Blitzer didn't usually get time to relax, so he let him cherish it.
So the fact that the dog wasn't there worried him a bit. Especially seeing as the farmer was outside already, usually Blitzer would be next to him, but not today.
The farmer straightened up from planting some veg and yelled at the top of his lungs. "Bitzer!" No reply. He tried again. "BITZER!" Still no reply.
Scratching his head the farmer tottered forward and stated looking around muttering under his breath. "Where is that dog? I send him out to get the newspaper and he disappears. BITZER! HERE BOY! BITZER!"
Now seriously concerned Shaun quickly called the rest of the flock over and imitated Blitzer, then made a 'where is he' gesture to get the point across. The rest of his flock shook their heads. They hadn't seen him either. They'd been eating grass.
Shaun rolled his eyes and trotted of past the farmer out the gate and down to the end of the road. The paperboy delivered every morning and usually ended up just throwing the paper on the ground as Bitzer would run towards him, barking for a bit of fun. He never chased the boy though.
He wasn't there, or so Shaun thought, a whimpering reached his ears and he turned to see Bitzer lying on the floor looking pathetically at him.
Shaun frowned a bit and mimed standing up, Bitzer shook his head and nodded towards his front paws. Curious Shaun edged closer and then saw what had happened. The boy had obviously thrown the paper a bit too far today as it had skidded into a bush. Bitzer had gone to get it and managed to get his paw trapped under the root of a tree somehow.
Realising there was no way he could get his friend out himself Shaun mimed to Bitzer to wait a minute and ran back to the farm where the farmer was still looking for his dog and obviously having no success.
Shaun paused wondering how to do this, when inspiration struck him and he baared to get the farmers attention. When he had it he then started waking towards the entrance, hoping the farmer would follow him.
Well, he just stood there looking at this sheep thinking. 'What on earth…' Not having time to waste Shaun went back up to the farmer and grabbed his coat, pulling him towards the gate. That got his moving alright.
Getting the message the sheep wanted him to follow the famer ran behind Shaun going. "What on earth is going on? Why are you being so energetic? You're a sheep! You don't do anything!"
Shaun rolled his eyes and stopped next to Bitzer.
The farmer saw the situation immediately. "No wonder I couldn't find you..." He muttered staring at his dog, who whimpered immediately. "It's alright boy, I'm just going to move your paw…" Bitzer howled as the farmer did so. "Sorry, sorry boy…there we go! That wasn't so bad was it? Now, come on, I'll get you a bandage…" Still talking to himself, the farmer scooped Bitzer up and carried him back to the farm, Shaun trailing behind, smiling a bit.
