Authors Note/Disclaimer: I don't own WA 3, or Trigun's Kuroneko. And in a bit of afterthought, I also don't own Dragonheart, to which I made a reference in the last chapter. So there. ^_^ I also don't own Kill The Dog Next Door by the Arrogant Worms (yes, them again ^_^) or Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.
Well, chapter three is here. Read now, yes no? ^_^

Chapter Three- Kill The Dog Next Door
"Our next singer will be..." Von drew a name. "Roykman!"
The travelling merchant took the stage amid applause and picked up the microphone. "I suppose I should explain this before I begin, so I don't weird you out. As some of you may already know, I'm scared of dogs. I sing this song when I go to a town where I know there's dogs. My way of preparing myself to meet them."
He turned to Von and smiled. "Hit it, music man."
I once was a happy man of sound and stable mind
Then my neighbour bought a dog
He put a ribbon on its head to make it cute
But it still looked like a Chihuahua
He had me over to watch it sit and beg
It bit my knee, and made love to my leg
Now it barks all the night and all of the day
Whenever it's not peeing on my lawn
I didn't get to sleep last night till very late
The stupid dog barked and grrrr'd
I got up late for work and ran to catch the bus
But I slipped on a turd
I was certain it wasn't one of mine
That that dog had crossed over the line
I wanted to exterminate it and all its kind
From my lovely little suburb
I'm gonna kill the dog next door
Ain't gonna bark anymore
'Cause this is Judgment Day
And the little runt has got to pay
No more turds on my lawn
That stupid mutt will soon be gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog
I see the little monster in my garden
So I grab an axe and off I go
And I try my best to get it
All I do is sever my big toe
My neighbour comes outside to call me
He says his dog and me should just be friends
He puts his little pet in my forgiving hands
Then it starts to bite
So I strangle it with all my might
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm gonna kill the dog next door (kill the dog next door)
Ain't gonna bark anymore
'Cause this is Judgment Day
And the little runt has got to pay
No more turds on my lawn (doo-doos on my lawn)
That stupid mutt will soon be gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog
Now the stupid mutt's in doggy heaven
I strangled it to death and now I'm free
But my trouble ain't quite over
My neighbour called the cops on me
I end up at the police station
Where I am told that I must pay
A 300 dollar fine
Wow, what a good value
I think I'll kill my neighbour too!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm gonna kill the guy next door (kill the guy next door)
Won't call the cops anymore
I never liked him anyway
300 isn't much to pay
There are turds on my lawn (doo-doos on my lawn)
They must be his, his dog is gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that guy!
Roykman took a bow amidst the appreciative laughter and applause and went to sit back down. He passed by the table Virginia and company were sitting at as Jet sighed.
"Can we leave yet? This is getting boring."
Virginia grabbed the surly youth and pushed him back into his chair. "We stay until it's over."
"Argh."
Gallows chuckled as Kaitlyn shushed him. "Mr. Von's drawing the next name!"
The crowd fell silent as Von read off the next name. "...Sigfried..."
Sigfried climbed up onto the stage. "Well? Aren't you going to cheer? Bunch of meanies..." There was a smattering of confused applause from the crowd.
Virginia jumped up from her seat and drew her duel pistols, leveling them at the demon.
"Hey! Put those away," he cried, "all I wanna do is sing."
Virginia blinked in surprise as Clive pushed her arms down, effectively lowering her weapons.
"Let's let him sing, okay?" he asked. "We can take out personal grudges later."
The young Drifter girl sat down and sighed. "Fine. Well, Sigfried? Let's hear it."
Von started the music and the demon started to sing.
Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the hea-
He got cut off as he found out the hard way that everyone else on Filgaia HATED Celine Dion. The crowd booed with feeling, and began to pelt the metal demon with rotten fruits and vegetables.
"Nyao!" Kuroneko flew through the air, landed on Sigfried's head, and proceeded to maul it. Then the black cat with large green eyes ran off. Sigfried fled the stage.
"Uh..." stammered Von, looking to the setting sun, "well...that concludes today. We'll continue this tomorrow, bright and early! Everyone go rest those vocal chords!"
As the team made their way back to where they were spending the night, Jet commented, "okay, maybe it's not so boring after all."
Well, chapter three is here. Read now, yes no? ^_^
