A/N: Rango does not belong to me. It rightfully belongs to Nickelodeon and it's awesome cast and crew.

Priscilla stopped outside the Sheriff's office and took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. The mouse opened the door and saw the young Sheriff at his desk going over some paper work. Looking up, the lizard smiled when the rodent walked up to his desk.

"What can I do for you today Priscilla?" He asked as she sat in the chair on the opposite side of him.

"Sheriff I'd like to join your posse." Why beat around the bush when it's so much easier to cut to the chase?

Rango blinked his small eyes in surprise. "Priscilla, we already talked about this. It's too dangerous for you to join. So many things can happen to you if we take you on missions. You could get kidnapped or hurt or worse! You could even get killed! Then we'll both be dead cause your brother would kill me if that happened."

She knew he was going to say that. 'Time to bring out the big guns.' Priscilla thought and made her large yellow eyes look cute and glossy. This always worked on the Sheriff.

Rango winced at the adorable look Priscilla was giving him. This was one of his weaknesses. He could never say no to that look the mouse was giving him. He sighed. 'Oh what's the use? She's not going to give it up…plus Rattlesnake Jake and Bad Bill and his gang took In the young boys and left Priscilla all alone…so why not? I guess its ok as long as we keep a really close eye on her. And if things get too serious, I could always have someone bring her back home.' Rango thought while looking Priscilla over.

Finally after what seemed like forever, Rango took and deep breathe and exhaled slowly. "Alright, I'm probably signing my death warrant by saying this but I'm going to say it anyway. Priscilla…you're in." He said the last part in a strained manner as if it hurt him to say it.

"Really? YES!" Priscilla exclaimed with a huge smile and did a small fist pump.

The Sheriff couldn't help but give a smile as the mouse ran around the desk and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She said before running out of the office.

As she left from view, Rango's smile dropped to a worried frown. "What are the consequences for what I've just done?" He asked out loud to no one. 'But at least she won't be alone. You're doing her a favor even though you're putting yourself at risk of getting your butt kicked by Chorizo.'

The lizard flinched as he thought back to his conversation with Chorizo just moments before Priscilla showed up.

*Flashback*

Rango walked down the main road towards his office. On his way, he noticed Rattlesnake Jake talking to Bad Bill and his gang. The five outlaws were huddled together and talking in hushed voices. 'What are those trouble makers up to?' The Sheriff wondered out loud as he slowly continued to walk in hopes of catching part of the conversation.

"What if the Sheriff finds out?" Kinski was saying while looking over at Bad Bill.

The Gila monster just snorted, "He won't find out." He said while crossing his arms.

"I won't find out what?"

The five jumped and turned to see Rango with his arms crossed and looked at them curiously. Stump gave a single chuckle, "So much for him not finding out." He said with a smirk. Bad Bill glared at him before swatting the jackrabbit behind the head.

Stump grimaced and rubbed his slightly sore noggin, "Ow…" He complained.

Rango looked over the group before he repeated, "So what were y'all worried I was gonna find out about?"

Rattlesnake Jake spoke up, "If you must know, we were discussing how we have taken the towns young boys 'under our wing' as the saying goes." He answered with a smirk when he saw Rango give him a disbelieving look. "You can't be serious." He said while looking at the men. His eyes moved in different directions so that he could look them over two at a time.

Bad Bill frowned at Rango in slight disgust, "Will you stop doing that with your blooming eyes?! It's weird!" He burst out after a few seconds of watching the chameleon's eyes move around independently.

"So I'm giving you the creeps for once? Well that's a first." Rango commented. Kinski snapped out of his reverie when he heard the green lizard talk. Unlike Bill, Kinski found Rango's natural talents of being able to move his eyes in two different directions and change his color at will, amusing.

"We're very serious, it's not like the boys are behaving at this age. What makes you think they'll be model citizens when they're older? We might as well teach them a few things now." The haunch back jackrabbit stated.

With that, four of the bandits left the Sheriff before he could say anything. He watched them leave before he realized something. 'Wait isn't their supposed to be five of them? Lets' see, there's Jake, Bill, Stump, Kinski…where's Chorizo?' Turning, the lizard found himself looking into two small, glaring, yellow eyes.

"Whoa, Chorizo…personal space please." Sheriff Rango said while taking a few steps away from the shrew that had been standing right behind him.

The small mammal didn't say anything and just continued to send his icy glare at the young Sheriff. Finally he spoke, "I don't want you anywhere near my little sister." He snapped. Rango blinked, "What?"

Chorizo took a step forward with a small growl, "I don't like the fact that Priscilla's been spending time with you and your little posse. From now on she's gonna spend her time with the other town's women. I don't want to see you anywhere near her."

"Does Priscilla know about this little arrangement?" Rango questioned while Chorizo started to walk past him. The rat stopped and turned to the lizard, "No, I'm going to tell her later on today."

"So you haven't even told her?"

"…No…"

Rango scoffed and mumbled under his breath, "Making decisions for your sister. Some brother you are." Although he said this to himself, the rodent he was talking about still managed to hear it. Chorizo stopped in his tracks and turned to glare murderously at Rango.

"What did you say?!" he hissed.

Rango gulped, "N-nothing!"

"You think I'm not a good brother?" Chorizo growled while getting right in the Sheriff's face. The chameleon stepped back, "I never said that, you were the one who took it that way! All I meant was that it isn't wise to keep secrets or make decisions for your sister." He defended.

Chorizo hissed again, "I know that's not what you meant. " When Rango didn't answer, the shrew clenched his fist and took a few deep breaths before saying in a deathly calm voice, "You're lucky you're the Sheriff, otherwise, I'd punch you so fucking hard you'd be seeing stars for a week!" With that being said, Chorizo spat on the ground before turning and walking away.

*End flashback*

Rango let out a sigh, If Chorizo found out about this, the lizard could bet he'd end up with a black eye. Sure he could arrest the shrew for assault on a law official, but that didn't take away the fact that the punch to the face would hurt.

And find out he would cause eventually, Rango and his posse were going to have to go on a mission and he was going to have to bring Priscilla along with him now that she was in his group. Groaning the lizard placed his head on his desk. "Gods please don't let that time come soon." He half prayed, half begged.
