A/N: Hey, Roleplayer48, here is the full chapter, and I hope you enjoy it.
(Chapter 4: An Unexpected Encounter With The Strangest Of Fair Maidens)
*We see Skippy running off with his two sisters along with turtle with glasses named Toby. They were running to a field where Skippy is gonna try out his new birthday present from Robin Hood which just so happens to be a bow and arrow...which is fake and made of plastic so as not to hurt anyone...especially children...*
Toby: Gee, uh, did Robin Hood really give it to you?
Skippy: Yeah. And this is his own hat, too.
Toby: Well, no offense or anything, but I don't think it quite fits you yet. It's too big.
Skippy: Aw, what do you know? You're a turtle.
Toby: Yeah. I guess your right. But still, I sure wish I could shoot your bow and arrow.
Tagalong: Let me try it Skippy! I wanna go! I wanna go!
Skippy: Oh no ya don't! I'm the birthday bunny, Robin Hood gave it to me, therefore, I should get to use it first. Simple as that.
Sis: Uh Skippy? I think you might be pointin' it too high.
Skippy: (pulling and pointing his arrow high) Nonsense. I'm not either. Now stand back and watch! (Firing his arrow over the field and into the backyard of Prince John's castle)
Skippy: Dang it!
Toby: Uh-oh. Now you've done it.
Skippy: Yeah! That was my ONLY arrow!
Sis: And right in Prince John's backyard too. It's lucky that arrow was made of plastic or that could've KILLED somebody!
Skippy: Well, it ain't stayin' in that backyard for much longer. Come on gang!
*Skippy runs through the field and heads towards the castle, and tries to squeeze right through the bars.*
Tagalong: Uh Skippy, you can't go in there.
Toby: Yeah. If Prince John finds you, he'll chop off your head for sure. (Sinking his head into his shell) Like this.
Skippy: Oh I don't care one bit about that. I gotta get my arrow back whether you want me to or not.
Sis: Wait a minute though. While your in there, Toby might tattle on ya and get you in trouble with your mom.
Skippy: Good point, Sis. Well Toby, to prevent you from doing such thing, and on my birthday no less, you've gotta take the oath.
Toby: (confused) An...oath?
Tagalong: Put your hand on your heart and cwoss your eyes. (Skippy, Sis and Toby do just that)
Skippy: ''Spiders, snakes and a lizard head.''
Toby: (struggling to keep his eyes crossed) Uhhhhhh, ''spiders, snakes and a lizard head.''
Skippy: ''If I tattletale, I'll die till I'm dead!''
Toby: (gulps) ''I-I-i-if I t-t-t-tattletale, I-I-I-I'll d-d-die t-till I'm d-d-d-dead.''
Skippy: Okay. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm goin' in.
*Skippy slips through the bars and sneaks into the bushes, looking for his arrow until he spots two women playing badminton. One is a fox/vixen/whatever with a pink gown and long pink bloomers (glad they're not as long and ridiculous looking like Prince John's underwear as seen earlier) and then other one is a chicken in a blue dress. Who are these two? Well, you'll find out in a minute.*
Maid Marian: (she holds the white ball, or whatever you call it, in her paw) Are you ready, Lady Kluck?
Lady Kluck: Oh, as your Lady-in-Waiting, I'm waiting! (Yet another joke rimshot plays out of nowhere)
*Lady Kluck tosses the ball into the air and hits it across the net towards Maid Marian, who runs and hits it back across the net, being careful not to trip on her LONG dress. Both ladies laugh and joke as they continue to hit the ball back and forth to each other over and over again, which begins to bore Skippy nearly making him forget why he came into Prince John's backyard in the first place.*
Skippy: (notices the plastic, harmless arrow by the nearest tree) Aha! There it is. All I need to do is get it and then I'm outta here pretending this little mistake of mine never happened. (Sneaks round to the tree and hides behind it just to be safe)
Lady Kluck: (panting while still wearily hitting the ball thingy back to Marian) I'll tell you what, Marian, I'm getting a little bit too old for this. I'm not as young as I used to be.
Maid Marian: No Klucky, you're not. And I shouldn't think you were as young as you were when you WERE young in the first place. But still, that was a good shot.
Lady Kluck: Well, you're not bad yourself, dear.
Maid Marian: Watch out for my killer serve! (Hits the ball just a teensy weensy, yeah right, TOO HARD and flies over Lady Kluck's head and into the bushes behind her.)
(Yes, Dede42. Just a quick little reminder if you remember the original film, it WAS Maid Marian who hit the ball thingy too hard, not Lady Kluck because the arrow and the tree Skippy's hiding behind is is behind HER, not Maid Marian. Again, not to insult you because I know you try very hard with these sorts of things. Please forgive me though in case you DID take offense. Dede42: No worries, I fixed the goofs.)
Maid Marian: Oops!
Lady Kluck: Oh dear! Now, how did that happen?
Maid Marian: Sorry Klucky. I think I may have hit the ball too hard.
Lady Kluck: Wow. And I thought I was the clumsy one who doesn't know her own strength sometimes. Do you want me to go get it for you, Marian?
Maid Marian: (Shakes her head) No, I'm the one who hit it too hard, so I guess I shall be the one to get it. (goes over to the bushes, kneels down, and crawls into them to find the ball. She spots it and reaches for it just as Skippy reaches to his plastic arrow, which is next to it, and they both freeze when they say each other) Oh! Well, hello there. Where did you come from?
Skippy: (backs away in fear whimpering as his nose twitches) Oh, please don't tell Prince John! Mama says he'll chop of my head!
(Somehow, I think whoever wrote the script for this scene in the original film got this line wrong because wasn't it TOBY who told Skippy that Prince John would cut off his head?)
Maid Marian: (laughs) Oh, don't be afraid. You've done nothing wrong.
Lady Kluck: (pokes her head into the bushes) Marian, is everything alright? Can you find the ball- Oh, Marian, what a bonny wee bunny.
Maid Marian: (Notices the hat) Who does this young archer remind you of?
Lady Kluck: (Recognizes the hat) Ooh, well, upon my word, the notorious Robin Hood. (Skippy smiles)
Maid Marian: That's right. Why, only the famous outlaw himself wears a hat like that.
Skippy: (much more cheerful now) Yeah. And look at this keen Robin Hood bow. He actually give me this along with a harmless plastic toy arrow that I was trying to get back as a birtdhay present for my birthday.
Maid Marian: (amazed) Really now?
Lady Kluck: Now, how come he never dropped by to visit us and give us presents on OUR birthdays?
Maid Marian: Don't be jealous. It could happen to us eventually.
*Back by the gate bars where Sis, Toby and Tagalong are still waiting for Skippy to come back and wondering what's taking so long, Tagalong...sneezes. No one knows what caused her to sneeze though unless it just happened to move the rest of this scene in the movie forward.*
Lady Kluck: (notices the others after hearing Tagalong sneeze) Oh, Marian. Don't look around, but I do believe we're surrounded! Oh, mercy!
Maid Marian: Why, so we are! Friends of yours, little bunny?
Skippy: Yeah. They're also my roommates. (Gestures for them to come over via waving) Hey, come on guys! It's perfectly safe to come on over!
Sis: He's snitched on us.
Maid Marian: It's alright, children. Don't be afraid. Please come here.
Toby: Do you two girls think it's safe?
Tagalong: Well, it must be. That's Maid Marian.
Sis: Well, so it is! You powers of observation astonish me, Tagalong. Mama says she's awful nice. Come on. Let's go see her. (They squeeze through the bars and run over to the ladies)
Tagalong: (left far behind) Hey! Not so fast, you guys. Wait for me.
Sis: I told Skippy he was shooting his arrow too high.
Skippy: Hey! I'm new to using bows and arrows, alright!
Maid Marian: Well, I'm so very glad he did. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet all of you wonderful kids. (Toby waves to her with a shy look)
Sis: Gee, you're very beautiful.
Tagalong: Is it true that you and Robin Hood are good friends?
Maid Marian: (smiles) Oh, yes, we were good friends as kids, but when his father sent him away, we lost contact. And after so many years of not seeing each other after I left for London, I fear that he may have forgotten all about our wild and wacky friendship now that he has Little John living with him.
Skippy: What? Robin Hood? Forget about you? Never! Why, (demonstrates what Robin would do via unintentionally assaulting Toby with his wooden toy sword) I bet he'll storm the castle gates, fight the guards, rescue ya and drag ya off to his hiding place in Sherwood Forest until they've given up for the day.
Lady Kluck: Now just a moment there, young man. You've forgotten about that crybaby Prince John.
Skippy: Who? Him? Pah! That ol' Prince John don't scare the heck outta me!
Toby: (sinking his head into his shell again) I'm scared of Prince John. He's cranky.
(And he doesn't mean Cranky the Crane from Thomas the Tank Engine if you've heard of him!)
Lady Kluck: Ah, ah, ah, ah! (Uses a racket as a sword and acts out like John) I, Prince John, challenge you to a duel. Hey, hey! Take that! And that! And this! (Doing a little sword play)
Skippy: Death to tyrants! (Fights back)
Lady Kluck: Och! Och, och! (Running for her life)
Maid Marian: (Skippy and Lady Kluck circle around her while STILL sword fighting) Oh my goodness! Whatever shall I do? Oh, save me, my hero, save me or I am doomed! DOOMED I TELL YOU!
Sis: Slice him to pieces before Marian here OVERACTS!
Skippy: Will do. (Whacks his wooden toy sword on Lady Kluck's foot)
Lady Kluck: Oh! Ouch! That's not fair. Mommy! (Begins to hold her ear and sucks her thumb like John)
Sis: Oh yeah! That's definitely Prince John alright! (Goes into a huge giggle fit)
Skippy: Yahoo! Now I've got ya!
Lady Kluck: Och, mercy! Mercy! (Grabs Skippy's wooden sword and acts out like she was wounded) Oh! Oh, he got me. I think I might be dying. Oh, mercy! I'm actually dying! I'm dying! (Lies on the floor/grass) I am dead. Not big surprise.
Skippy: (worried) Uh-oh. Erm...I didn't REALLY hurt you, did I?
Lady Kluck: (whispers) No, of course you didn't, young man. I'm only acting. Besides, this is the part where you drag your former damsel in distress into your hiding place in Sherwood Forest. (Closes her eyes and continues playing dead)
Skippy: (Takes Maid Marian's hand and drags her off) Come on, former damsel in distress! Let's go!
Maid Marian: Oh, Robin, you're so brave and impetuous.
(Does anyone know what impetuous means? I seriously don't! I never searched it up and this movie doesn't tell me what it means!)
Maid Marian: (Goes into a bush pretendening it was a forest) Oh. So this is Sherwood Forest.
Skippy: Yeah, I guess so. Phew. Does roleplaying ever take a lot outta ya or what? I'm beat.
(Now you know how I feel at times when my hands begin to hurt after doing reviews in the style of roleplay this gaining the name RolePlayer48 instead of just ''guest''.)
Skippy: So, now that we're here. Now, what are we gonna do?
Maid Marian: I think we should sneak back and launch another attack on Prince John. What do you think?
Skippy: (grins) Great idea!
(Maid Marian and Skippy crawls back out of the bushes, grabs the rackets, gives sticks to Sis and Toby, and soon they chase Lady Kluck, who still pretends to be Prince John, around the yard while Tagalong laughs and cheers them on.)
A/N: Ok, this should be much better then in the movie, and I hope you enjoy it. See you on Tuesday! R&R everyone!
