It's Galavant,Charlie Brown

Chapter 4: Joust Friends(Pun Entirely Intended)

Author's Note: This chapter is going to be very long,I don't want this series to drag out for a bajillion chapters since there are so many episodes of Galavant and they are so long too so expect lengthy chapters.

The gang continued their journey throughout the countryside without any major problems or hassles. They soon came across a fork in the middle of the road which pointed towards Valencia in the west as Patty said relived "At least we're in the right direction."

Galavant in a tired and sore voice asked Isabella "Princess can we swap horses? Yours looks so much softer."

When she heard that,she scoffed and asked "What is wrong with you? All you've done since we've left is complain. You're supposed to be a bloody hero."

"And I've got every intention of being one princess. I'm gonna save Madelena. I'm gonna get your kingdom back. There's gonna be some pretty legendary hero-ing happening around here pretty damn soon."

Sally groaned and retorted annoyed "You've said that like 5 times already. We get it already."

Galavant turned to the girl and defended himself "Well I need to remind us so we don't lose sight of our goal. We don't need pointless detours that only exist to pad things out." while Linus whispered to Charlie Brown "It's certainly working so far because that's all he ever talks about."

Galavant hearing this replied "Hey I heard that Linus,look it's going to be dark soon and this road is gonna be filled with bad guys who would like nothing more than to have their way with your small and weak bodies."

Isabella thinking that was directed at her gasped "How dare you!" to which Gal clarified "I was talking to the kids and the dog."

"I say we find a tavern and hunker down for the night." Gal suggested to which Marcie replied "That sounds really nice sir. It's been awhile since we've slept on a nice bed."

Snoopy added to Woodstock "And awhile since we had decent food too." as he thought of a giant pizza the size of a table.

Isabella however broke bad news to them and said "I hate to rain on anyone's parade but how do you plan on paying for anything hmm? We have a priceless jewel we can't spend and a dog and a bird we can't eat." Snoopy and Woodstock yipped at the mention and hid on Linus as he sighed.

Patty said to Marcie "I sure don't want to sleep on the ground again. That stuff stinks." to which Marcie agreed "A bed would be very nice indeed. I just hope we don't have to sleep on the horse."

Their pondering was however interrupted by Charlie Brown suggesting when he saw a fyler on the fork "Or we could joust! 1.000 shillings grand prize!"

Meanwhile in Valencia Richard and Madelena were enjoying a meal in the dining hall,of course they were at a long table that stretched across the entire room,but that didn't stop her from noticing Richard's questionable eating habits.

Instead of eating his food normally,Richard had the chef feed it to him like a parent does to a baby as she,Gareth,and even Lucy and Schroeder watched him with pity.

Lucy and Schroeder ate their food at a smaller table nearby as she whispered to him "That is one of the things I like about being here. Seeing Richy like that is something I don't think I'll ever get tired of."

"He certainly is less than kingly,it's a strange sight to behold but I would be lying if I said I didn't find it entertaining." Schroeder smiled as the chef gleefully said to the king "Catapult at the ready." before he put a meatball in Richard's mouth imitating a catapult sound.

Richard like a child clapped at the performance and gleefully picked another meatball,but this time the chef said "This one's coming on horseback." as he clicked his tongue to sound like a horse and did the same thing as before.

Gareth decided to intervene and suggetsed firmly "Chef. Why don't you let the king feed himself in front of his wife? She's watching."

"No keep going. I love this." Lucy intervened as the chef continued to do so and picked up another piece.

"Open your drawbridge here comes the cannonball!" Richard opened his mouth wide open as the chef made a hissing sound and put it in his mouth as Richard gleefully laughed.

However it stopped when he realized that piece was a fatty piece and complained "Ohh! Ew! There's fat on this piece. I don't like it. Take it out."

"All right. All right." The chef said as Richard stuck his tongue out with the piece on it as he took it right off.

Madelana having had enough of this display cleared her throat and said "Right Okay Well….that's going to do it for me."

"But darling you've barely touched your roast peacock."

"Chef. Be a doll and shove a few more cannonballs down my husband's throat. I'm growing weary of his voice." She walked out of the room in silence as Richard said to everyone in the room "Never start a marriage with a kidnapping. All of you promise me right now."

"Yeah we promise my king." "Rock solid." "Definitely." "I wish Sally was here so you could tell her that."

"Still it's fine. I'm sure once I kill Galavant in front of her,she'll change her tune." Richard said confidently to which Lucy objected "No she won't. It should be perfectly obvious why she won't."

"What do you mean by that Lucy?" Richard asked dimwitted to which she didn't say a word and only left the room in a awkward silence.

Richard noticed this and asked "What's with the awkward silence?"

Gareth decided to answer and said a little more cautiously "Uh,it's-" "What?" "No its nothing." "Speak." Richard insisted to which Gareth finally admitted "Well um,I just think and I say this very respectfully sire…..you got to man up. You got to butch up for her a little bit."

"Me?"

"Yeah!"

Lucy decided to give her thoughts on the situation and said "You know it's really pathetic when Charlie Brown is more of a man than the great King Richard." to which Schroeder agreed "Yeah I have to agree with Lucy. You are just not cut out for your role as a husband….and certainly not as a king."

Richard turned towards them and retorted "You know I don't think I should be taking advice from kids." but Gareth agreed as well "No they got a point sire. Charlie Brown sounds like a Pratt's name-"

"That's too generous. More like a blockhead." Lucy interupted while Richard gasped "That's exactly what you called me. That was really rude. But never mind all that,the point of the matter is that I am Mr Butch! Oh poop I got gravy on my tummy flowers."

He gasped at what he just said and turned to Schroeder who gave off a disapproving face while Lucy asked with a smug smile "What was that Mr Butch?"

"Oh my god you're right."

"Come with me sire." Gareth said as he,Richard,and the chef followed him into a very big room. As they left the room,Schroeder asked Lucy "What do you think they're doing?"

"I don't know but I know it will blow up in his face spectacularly. I'm serious not even Charlie Brown can could stoop to this level of blockhead."

The room they headed to was in actuality Gareth's room as Richard exclaimed at the sheer size "Holy cow! This is your room?!"

It had a king size bed in the corner,a big window which gave him a good view of the land,a fireplace,and a frankly terrifying painting of him with a woman's body in the Mona Lisa pose. Richard was in awe of the room until he got a whiff of a funny smell.

"What's that smell?"

"Testosterone." Gareth replied to which Richard described it as "Musky."

"Look,if you want your wife to respect you,you've got to earn her respect. You need to man up." Gareth said trying to move things along while Richard sighed "I wouldn't even know where to begin."

"Well it just so happens you're talking to the professor in the art of manhood. And I'm gonna give you a makeover." Gareth smiled to which Richard showed gratitude "Gareth,I cannot thank you enough. Come here you!" He moved in for a hug but Gareth stopped him and said "Hey,I've only ever hugged one man in my life and it was the day my father died."

Gareth sighed as Richard showed a bit of remorse and sympathy until he unexpectedly continued "I squeezed that rotten bastard to death."

"Right. We'll hug later. Good talk." Richard said out of a mixture of fear and confusion as he and Gareth began manhood training.

Back with Galavant's group,they had just made it to the jousting festival. There were tents everywhere,people drinking and having fun,street performers doing fire breathing tricks,and lots of people jousting which ended in lots of pain and broken armor. Everyone except for Isabella seemed to be excited as Patty exclaimed "Look at this Chuck,we're at a jousting tournament. I bet you never thought you'd be at one of these?" When no one responded,she whispered to Snoopy "Who does he think he is the king?" to which he bopped her on the head with his shield.

Sally looked at the knights and when she saw them in all that fancy armor,she looked at Linus and imagined him in that armor expect smaller of course. He took a look at her and rolled his eyes with embarrassment.

As they reached the sign up booth Isabella muttered "This is a terrible idea." However before anyone could prove her wrong,Sidney was already singing Gal up.

"May I present a late entry to the joust,the lord of the sword-" "Sid." Isabella cut him off as he jumped straight to the point "This is Galavant. He wants to joust."

The manager said in disbelief "Sir Galavant? It's an honor. I'll just need 100 shillings for your entry fee and we'll get you signed in." The group was obviously not pleased as the flyer said nothing about an entry fee as Patty yelled to the man "What is this all about? People come here to win shillings not pay them!"

The man was about to tell her off until two voices interrupted their argument,and frankly these voices belonged to two people that both groups were familiar with. The first voice was super rash and loud,while the other voice was smooth,arrogant,and smug.

The first voice said in that rash tone "Hey look Sir Jean it's a complete gang of losers,with a special guest appearance by Sir Galavant."

The second voice said "Well well well Thibault,what do we have here?"

They all groaned and turned around to see two of their worst rivals,especially to the Peanuts Gang. The person the first voice belonged to was a very short kid with long black hair and two ridiculously big sideburns. He wore a blue peasant's outfit and a backwards on hat along with a permanent frown on his face. The peanuts kids knew this kid as Thibault,Thibault was a former resident of their village that made their lives a living nightmare especially to Marcie and Peppermint Patty since they lived so close to each other. Thibaut's attitude was always a grouchy one that put even Lucy to shame,and his attitude towards women was also one to be looked down upon. He saw them as nothing but tools to get work done and no matter how many times someone would prove him wrong,he would deny it. However that nightmare was supposedly put to a end when he left to become a squire for another knight far away,and it just so happened that the knight he was standing by was the knight.

The knight had a traditional knight's attire with a chain mall covering him,a red cape,and short brown hair with a mustache. This was a former friend/rival of Galavant. Jean Hamm.

"Hello Jean Hamm." Galavant muttered in a annoyed tone as Patty tried her hardest to appear respectful to Thibault as she groaned "Hello Thibault. It's a pleasure to see you again." Galavant out of curiosity asked "You know this kid?"

Patty whispered to him "That's Thibault. He's been a total pain in the behind ever since he lived with us. We thought he was gone when he moved away,but I guess he moved to be this guy's squire." Galavant looked at the kid and noticed his sideburns and muttered "He certainly looks like a pain."

Thibault got a devilish smile and said menacingly "You know I was just thinking about all of you guys and girls and what a surprise that we are all together again." He took a look at the group and happily greeted each of them while simultaneously insulting them.

"Hey Marcie,you really should get out of the writing business and get back to the kitchen and laundry where you belong." She groaned and corrected him "Actually it's documentation of wildlife and flora,something you wouldn't understand." Thibault ignored her insult and moved on to Linus.

"Well well well Linus,I see you still hold onto that blanket like it's a newborn child. Something you will clearly never have if you continue to behave in public like that."

"Sally Sally Sally,you really should get it through your thick skull that Linus hates your guts. If someone wrote it it big letters you still wouldn't get it." Sally rolled her eyes and ignored the insult under the illusion that Linus did have romantic feelings for her.

"And here we are at the most pathetic of them all…..Charlie Brown. I bet that you still can't kick the can without falling on your back like a klutz." Charlie Brown got red in the face and tried to defend himself with "Well…..yeah but Sidney picked me to be the squire of Sir Galavant and I've gotten better as a person no doubt about that."

Thibault merely laughed and insulted the knight "Well then he must be really desperate if he picked the likes of you." Galavant rolled his eyes and retorted "Do you ever shut your trap?" to which he didn't respond. He did however notice that two kids were missing and asked "Where's that crabby girl and the Beethoven lover?"

Marcie in a attempt to sound intimidating which was rare from her answered "King Richard kidnapped them two years ago. We're going to save them along with Valencia." Thibault bursted out laughing and yelled "Can you believe this Jean Hamm? These losers and this washed up knight think they can go up to King Richard and save a nation! Please they couldn't save Frieda's cat in a tree!"

Jean hushed him with a hand motion so he could talk to Gal "Well if it isn't Galavant. Long time no see old friend. Nice beard. I'm talking about her of course but the facial hair is nice as well."

"Sir Galavant wishes to enter the joust." The manager said to Jean and Thibault when Isabella said sarcastically "Oh yes,that would have been a hoot but unfortunately we don't have the 100 shillings."

"Awww are times that tough since Madelena see'd-ya-later huh Gal?" Jean asked to which Thibault added "What you bozo's can't even scrape together an entry fee? Even if you joined all your shillings together you still wouldn't have enough."

Isabella turned to Snoopy and said "God I wanna slap this kid." to which he replied in his thoughts "Oh you haven't seen the half of it sister." Charlie Brown in a attempt to prove Thibault and Jean wrong snatched Isabella's pouch away and without really thinking pulled out the jewel of Valencia.

"Actually we got more than a pesky entry fee. I offer forth the priceless jewel of Valencia as collateral." And just like that he gave the jewel to the manager,it was gone.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Isabella shouted as Patty added "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BLOCKHEAD?!" and Linus added even further "That jewel was keeping Isabella's family alive!" "Nice going big brother!" The entire group shouted insults at Charlie Brown as he went ghost white in the face at the realization of what he had done.

Isabella continued "The jewel of Valencia is not collateral. It is the cornerstone of my kingdom,wars have been waged over it." The manager however ignored her description and asked "So I'll put it in the same ballpark as the rooster then?" Charlie Brown was about to say "No" but Galavant and Sidney had already approved of the idea and the manager shouted "Sir Galavant will fight the first match!"

The rest of the gang along with Isabella stared at Charlie Brown with anger filled eyes as he gave off a nervous smile and turned purple due to how embarrassed he was,but he brushed it off when he decided to help Galavant get his armor on.

"I can tell you want to bail. I'll give you five seconds to bail." Jean offered while Galavant retorted "I don't want to bail."

"I do."

"You do?"

"Oh yes I want to bail…...your mama out of jail when she gets arrested for theft." All the others groaned at the terrible joke Jean made,even Thibault was cringing at the joke as Gal said "You know what Jean? It's 1256 the "Your mama" jokes are getting really old." Even Thibault added "Yeah he's got a point."

Jean however didn't listen and continued "So is your mama."

"Seriously Jean. It's getting really worn out."

"We-"

"Don't." Gal had seemed to shut him as he proceeded to put his jousting armor on,before of course Jean said "Your mama!" as Thibault and the entire group shouted "SHUT UP!" and he did.

"Does this strap get on the front or the back?" Charlie Brown asked while he helped Galavant get his armor on as he replied "I have no idea. I haven't worn one of these in years."

"Hold on!" Isabella shouted as she walked up to the two and said "Yeah,um feel the need to check in 'cause remember everyone I love dies if we lose that jewel,so you definitely got this right?" Isabella asked as Charlie Brown added "Yes please tell me you got this because I don't think I can show my face to them until this is over." He glanced over to the overs as Snoopy sharpened his teeth with a file.

"Yes I've got this." Galavant replied,but Isabella was still unsure and groaned "Oh good god do I have to do everything?"

She faced the entire crowd and shouted loud enough for everyone to hear "Galavant is the greatest hero of our entire kingdom!" However his frankly messy attempt to get his armor on did a excellent job of proving otherwise as Thibault shouted "I didn't know today was Opposite Day!"

Isabella however continued as she resisted the urge to punch him "He will not participate in a joust like some common knight. This is a man who slays dragons. He is the lord of the….." "Sword." Sidney clarified but Isabella gave up "Lo-no sorry I can't."

"Fair enough. Sir Galavant we will advance you to the final on merit!"

"Fine by me." Jean said as the audience and the others applauded. Galavant's name was set on the final battle of the tournament board as Marcie said to a frustrated Patty "I hope this plan works." to which she added "If Chuck loses us the jewel AND Valencia I'll never speak to him again."

Isabella walked up to Galavant who had finally managed to get his armor on thanks to Charlie Brown and grunted "I just got you one more night to find it. We are not losing that jewel.' As she walked away obviously frustrated,she called out "And your armors on backwards dumbasses!

Charlie Brown shouted "UGHHHHHHHHHHH!" and walked away while Galavant followed as Snoopy and Woodstock giggled at the display.

Linus holding his blanket said nonchalantly "Yeah we are doomed." as Thibault added smugly "Yes. Yes you are."

Linus got annoyed and swatted Thibault away from the group with his blanket while he moaned to the others "Man he's annoying." as they all said in unison "You said it."

Sometime later Galavant was practicing with Snoopy and he was getting absolutely destroyed by him as Isabella and the others watched. Each and every time Snoopy would use his size or his increased speed as a four legged animal to his advantage despite how little he went on all fours. Charlie Brown sat in complete silence as he felt the heavy stares of the others pound on him. Granted they were in the tournament now,but it came at the risk of losing the jewel,Valencia,and Lucy and Schroeder.

After another humiliating loss and Snoopy walked away like a champion,Patty exclaimed "Man you are terrible. You're losing to a dog half the size of you."

"Hey I'm just a little rusty that's all." Galavant defended himself while he lay on the ground as Marcie said "That's a whopping total of 10 wins for Snoopy and 0 for Sir Galavant."

"Ok maybe I'm a little bad but I got this everyone." Galavant admitted as he got up from the dirt.

"I need you to win this joust,and you're certainly in no condition to do that. I also want to deck that Thibault schmuck in the noggin. Do you agree?"

"I do not. Well except for the kid because man he's a handful. Makes me wonder how you kids dealt with him for so long." Galavant replied as Patty exclaimed "I have no idea either."

Galavant turned around to see Isabella pointing a sword at him obviously hinting at a duel. "What you're gonna train me?" Isabella didn't say a word and instantly knocked Gal's sword out of his hand as he said convinced "Okay."

"My father is a man's man who never got a male heir,so from time to time I humored him and let him treat me as one. You should stretch." She took off her cloak and got into a outfit more suitable for training as Galavant replied "Oh please heroes don't stretch."

"Mm-Hmm. Pick up your sword." Isabella commanded as the others started to cheer him on,even Sally shouted "Fix my brother's mistake!" as Charlie Brown hid his face in shame.

Gal picked up his sword only for it to be knocked out again as the cheers stopped and he asked "Is this your way of building my confidence? You're just gonna humiliate me in front of a group of kids all day long or-"

"You're out of practice,out of shape. It's alright to admit that you're afraid." Isabella interrupted to which Gal chuckled "You're not gonna annoy me into doing this princess." He started to walk away annoyed but he was cut off by Isabella "Galavant!"

"She knocked me down everyone. Is that what you want to hear? Yeah she took the legs right out from under me. So yeah,yeah I'm afraid,I'm afraid of what happens the next time I get knocked down."

The group sat in complete silence until Isabella encouraged him "Any man can get knocked down. The hero is the man who gets back up. Now…..pick up your sword."

She pointed his sword at him again for another duel as the kids started to chant "Pick up your sword." over and over again as Charlie Brown unexpectedly encouraged him the most "You can do it Sir Galavant!" This perked him up as he picked up his sword and proceeded to train with Isabella and Snoopy as they all cheered on.

They went through typical sword training and later she rode on top of him like a horse as he held a long pole to simulate jousting.

"I don't see how this is helping."

The next thing they did was trying to get on a horse quickly and efficiently,but Gal would miss the mark again and again as he flew right off into the ground. Push ups were next as Marcie counted. "15" "30"

There comes a time in every tale,when the hero must prevail.

Gonna be an epic fail unless you show some pluck.

Once the training sequence starts,you gotta grow some manly parts.

I'm talking big ones off the charts or else the plot will suck.

So stand up! And go for glory stand up! Or there is no story stand up! Don't let your legend suck!

Isabella saw Galavant take a break as he dumped a big bucket of water over him,he glistened in the sunlight as she said softly and slowly "Damn."

Now you're looking pumped and cut,and it's time to check your gut.

Gotta kick your rival's butt,it all ends here if not.

Soon the battle will begin,and you better be all in,'cause if you don't fight and win,there really is no plot.

So stand up!("I think you're ready.") stand up! ("And if I'm not?") or there is no story stand up! ("Let me worry about that.") stand up now!

At the end of the day,Galavant's training seemed to be over as they all rushed to him to congratulate him. Patty exclaimed "You go out there and show Thibault and Jean what you can do."

"You get us our Jewel back!" Sally encouraged as Linus added "I would most rather appreciate it if this wasn't in vain you know."

Snoopy ran up to Gal and licked his entire body as he jumped into his arms like a man carries his just wed wife,Gal expressed disgust at the dog saliva all over him as they all laughed at the situation.

Before they headed off to bed to prepare for the joust tomorrow,Charlie Brown slowly walked up to Isabella feeling guilty and stammered "Princess? I'm terribly sorry about giving the jewel away. I wasn't thinking straight and it'll have been my fault if we lose it along with Valencia."

Isabella looked down at the kid who looked pretty guilty and got a smile as she said reassuringly "It's gonna be okay Charlie Brown. Gal will win that joust tomorrow,and I'll make sure of it." He was relieved that Isabella wasn't angry with him anymore,but he was also confused what she meant by that. Before he could ask her what she meant,she had already headed off to bed so he felt it best to just wait till tomorrow and see how things go.

The next morning before the joust,Isabella headed towards Jean and Thibault's tent with 2 cups and a jug. She had an idea but she didn't tell anyone,although she did say she would make sure of it that Galavant won.

She walked through the tent to see Thibault and Jean sitting at a table eating their breakfast as she slowly and seductively asked "Want some company?"

Instantly Thibault snapped at her "Get outta here you dumb broad,we got to train for when we beat that knight of yours."

Jean however suggested to the boy "Hold on a second Thibault. Let's see what she wants. Well hello there."

"Hi. Can I interest you fine gentlemen in a drink?"

"No way girl,we got our joust coming up." Thibault replied to which Jean agreed "Yeah,big joust coming up."

Isabella was not defeated yet and insisted "Mm,rumor has it that you like a good warmup."

Jean was obviously getting turned on by this and decided to go along with it "Well Hello-" "Hello there" "Yes Yes Yes,let's proceed." Isabella was eager to get this isn't other with as poured a drink into his chalice while she poured root beer into Thibault's. For not even she was willing to give a kid alcohol.

"Cheers." Jean said as he took a sip and spat some of it out as he asked "Mmm,what is that?"

"Oh absinthe,it's not strong. But you are,open wide." Isabella giggled as she tiped the cup upwards sending the absinthe down his throat and whispered so he or Thibault wouldn't hear "Like your mama."

"Hmm come again?"

"Uh,nothing. All the way now,we are going all the way tonight." Isabella seductively said as she subtly got him to drink the entire cup,this was not going to end well for him.

Back in Valencia,Madelana walked into the throne room looking for Richard as she asked "Richard,could we please just eat separately? I don't know if I can stomach another display of-" but she stopped when she saw that Richard set up a dinner table by the fire.

"What's going on?" Madelena asked to which Richard sternly demanded in a deeper voice than usual "Sit down."

"Richard what kind of lame attempt is-"

"I said "sit" woman." Richard rudely interrupted as Madelena did as she was told with a scowl.

"That's better." Unbeknownst to them,Gareth,the chef,Lucy,and Schroeder were watching through the doorway as Lucy said to Gareth "If he fails you owe me 5 shillings.' to which he replied "You're on girl."

"Wine?" Richard asked as Madelena replied "Oh I'm not sure if I-" but she was cut off by Richard already pouring her some.

"I'll be drinking an ale…...from the bottle." Richard said trying to sound manly as he took a big gulp of ale from the bottle and burped very loudly as Gareth and the chef smiled while Lucy rolled her eyes and whispered to Schroder "Man this guy is desperate."

Madelena watched in disgust as Richard asked "Yeah I burped,do you whiff it?"

The chef patted Gareth on the chest as a way to compliment him for his work,but Gareth merely pushed him against the doorway harder.

The joust was just about to get started as the Peanuts gang sat in the stand and cheered while Snoopy was twirling a sign that had Galavant's face on it. Even Thibault was sitting in the stand but he didn't say a word to anyone,he just wanted Jean to show them their supposed place.

The manager announced out loud as he walked to the middle of the field "Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for your main event! One joust for all the marbles! Also a rooster and a jewel."

Sidney and Isabella looked at each other with annoyed faces as the manager completely disregarded the value of the jewel of Valencia,but they ignored it as the manager continued "Our first finalist,Sir Jean Hamm!"

The audience cheered while the Peanuts gang however booed at his name,Thibault rolled his eyes and said "Just wait,pretty soon you'll wish you're with him than with Galavant."

However he was proven wrong when Jean stumbled out of the tent and tripped on one of the holders. He was obviously drunk thanks to Isabella's scheme and it showed when he upchucked in his armor. The audience gasped and retched in disgust as Patty shouted "Whoa!" and Thibault shouted "What is up with him?! Get up you prat!" Snoopy covered Woodstock's eyes as he sat on top of his head so he wouldn't have to see that and Linus asked "What happened to him?"

The manager decided to move on and contimued "And introducing Mr Cheekbones himself,Sir Galavant!" The audience roared as the Peanuts kids chanted "Sir Galavant!" as he came riding in more gracefully than Jean that's for sure. He sported typical jousting armor as Isabella walked up to him and reminded him "We've all trained for this. You're ready for this. You're a hero and heroes get back up."

"These are all inspiring and valid points. Just one minor problem." Galavant said regretfully to which Isabella asked "What's that?"

"I can't move."

"Come again?"

"I literally can't move my arms or legs. I think we trained too hard."

"You're not serious?" Isabella asked in a panic to which Galavant demonstrated "No? Watch this." He tried to move his arms up from the horse's reigns but his armor was jammed and wouldn't let him move. He was physically and mentally stuck.

"That's my full range of motion."

"Well that's not good."

"I know it's not good!"

"How did you get on the horse?"

"I slept on the horse."

Isabella sighed with panic and annoyance as the joust began with a blow of a special horn,and the audience roared with applause. What they didn't expect however was due to each of the combatant's mental and physical states,their horses slowly walked towards each other rather than gallop and sprint.

The applauses and cheers slowly died down as the entire audience sat in complete silence. Even the Peanuts kids were dumbfounded as Snoopy said to Woodstock sarcastically "Wow what a match huh?" and Charlie Brown whispered to Patty "Does this usually happen during jousts?"

"I don't know Chuck but it's certainly more entertaining than this."

Eventually the knights reached each other and raised their javelins with the intent to knock each other off,but all they managed to do was merely jab each other in the chest as Jean said out loud in a uninterested slur "Ow."

Soon they couldn't keep their balance any longer and they both fell of their horses at the same time as they slowly walked away,leaving them in the dirt.

It appeared to be a tie as the manager ran up to both of them and announced in a panic since this typically never happened before "Okay well...first one to his feet is the winner!"

"Are you serious?" Gal murmured as they both tried their hardest to get up but to no avail. Galavant turned to Isabella as she told him sternly "Get Up." that combined with the now encouraging cheers from the kids encouraged him to get up. It was a painful ascendage as the pain of going against you armor was unfathomable,but in the end Galavant managed to get up just as Jean fell over like a complete klutz.

"GALAVANT WINS!" The manager announced as Thibault shouted "WHAT?! NO NO NO NO!" Patty got a smug smile and asked him "Who's the wash out now?"

Thibault was about to rain all his inner rage down on Patty but before he could,Patty and all the other kids got out of the stand and ran towards Galavant to happily congratulate him.

"Well done Sir Galavant!" Linus exclaimed as Patty added "You sure showed him! This is the stuff I look for on an adventure."

"You fixed my dumb brother's mistake! What a hero!" Sally exclaimed as Charlie Brown rolled his eyes and groaned "Even when we win I get insulted."

Snoopy ran up to Galavant and jumped into his arms like before as he panicked "No no no no no!"

Due to Galavant's armor problem and Snoopy's weight he fell right back onto the ground as the armor shattered into pieces,Snoopy a little bruised and woozy after that got off him as Isabella happily exclaimed "You did it! Are you okay?"

"I won."

"We know."

Galavant chuckled as he said "I feel…..like I'm back to my old self again. King Richard's not gonna know what hit him."

Isabella started to remember her lie and she felt it in her to tell him the truth as she said "Listen…..I have something to confess." but she was interrupted by Sidney asking "So are we keeping the rooster or eating the rooster? 'Cause I'm not naming him if we're eating him."

"We're eating the rooster." Galavant replied as Sidney whispered "Yes." and Sally exclaimed "Hooray,real food again!"

Charlie Brown turned to Patty and decided to make light of his screw up from the day before "So I guess we didn't lose the jewel after all huh Patty?"

Patty turned to him with a colder expression and he got a tad nervous as she said "You messed up royally offering the jewel as a entry fee,but hey we didn't lose it and we just got 1000 shillings. You know you're full of surprises sometimes Chuck."

Charlie Brown got red in the in the face and started to sweat as Patty started to walk away along with the others after Galavant managed to get up.

However his blushing stopped when Patty tripped on a rock and nearly hit the ground before he grabbed her hand to help her. "Are you okay Patty?" He asked in concern but he recoiled his hand in horror when he realized what he had done.

"You're touching my hand Chuck,you trying to tell me something? You sly dog." She asked as Charlie Brown got even redder in the face. Before they left the jousting area,Patty turned to see Thibault staring at them with an angry,malice filled expression.

"So long Thibault! Tell Jean we said sorry!" Patty yelled as they got on their horses and left. Today was a day to remember that's for sure.

Meanwhile Madelana and Richard's dinner date was going seemingly well,Lucy and the others decided to leave them alone as Richard said "I love watching you eat. I'm rather finicky myself but you-you you don't think about it,you just….eat."

Madelena intrigued by his strange compliment decided to tell him a story "I had a pet goat growing up. Jenny." "Aww."

"When I was 8 my parents ran out of food so they made me go outside and kill her." "Hmm."

"I had to skin Jenny,cook Jenny,and eat Jenny. After that I guess I just tried not to think too much about what I was eating anymore. And well….I made damn well sure I wouldn't be in a position where I'd have to eat my favorite pet again." She chuckled as Richard told his own story.

"I never had a single meal with my parents. Too busy ruling. No I had an old servant named Pearl. She served me every meal,she made it fun,made a game out of it,only person who ever loved me old Pearly. This is fun right?! You and I talking,listening,sharing,learning more about one another."

"Yeah I guess."

Richard: You're frigid,and demanding,I shudder at your call.

Madelena: Whenever you come near me my flesh begins to crawl.

Madelena And Richard: But sometimes there are moments,I'm not repelled at all,maybe you're not the worst thing ever.

Isabella: You're utterly disgusting,I loathe your manly stink.

Galavant: I see your mouth start moving,and god I need a drink.

Isabella And Galavant: And then from out of nowhere,I'll look at you and think,maybe you're not the worst thing ever.

Madelena: You're worse than crabs.

Richard: Worse than scurvy.

Everyone: Worse than lice or plague but truth be told you're growing on me just like mold now.

Galavant And Isabella: And though you're so annoying,so easy to despise.

Richard: I know there's something scary,behind your cold dead eyes

Everyone: And though I'll never like you,it's nice to realize,maybe I shouldn't quite say never.

Maybe you're not the worst thing ever.

"There was a moment tonight,it was a fleeting moment but I saw it. You realized you could grow to love me." Richard said confidently as Madelena groaned "Oh would you please stop putting me in this position? Don't make me always have to be the bad guy."

"Well I for one am willing to put in the work in this relationship. You'll see I'm going to wear you down,you're going to grow to love me just like Pearl did." Richard insisted with a playful yet somewhat innocent smile.

Madelena however sighed,stood up,looked at him with a smug and sadistic smile and said to him "You're unlovable Richard. Pearl only loved you because your parents paid her to." She walked away from the table as she said coldly and heartless "I told you not to make me the bad guy."

Richard's heart was broken at what she said as he ran into Gareth's room where he,Lucy,and Schroeder were and gasped under tears "I need a hug!"

Schroder was ironically playing "Moonlight Sonata" on his piano as Lucy lay on it and she said to him "Yep I think it failed."

Richard ran up to a surprised Gareth and gave him a hug,instead of crushing him like he did with his dad,Gareth decided to be comforting and join in.

"Ohh that's better." Richard said as he sobbed,but it stopped when Gareth's hug was getting tighter as tigheter as he said strained "This,this is tight Gareth. Gareth! Gareth it's a little tight. It's seriously,I can't." Gareth loosened his grip as Richard said "Thank you." Gareth admist the hug took a look at Lucy to see her holding her metal can with her smug smile.

Garteh held his end of the bet and tossed her 5 shillings.
