Scene 14: Blackscreen:
Nar: And so, Valleri discovered the true identity of her rescuer, and she was so happy to see Peter slive.
Valleri's voice: Oh, Peter! I'm so happy you're alive!
Peter's voice: Yeah, me too!
Nar: And Peter was very happy, too. Not only was he back with Valleri, but she wasn't treating him like dirt anymore!
Peter's voice: Gee, Vall, I'm so happy you're not treating me like dirt anymore.
Valleri: Oh, I'm sorry, Peter.
Peter: It's alright.
Nar: Peter explained to Valleri all about how Babbitt didn't kill him after all, and how he stayed on the ship, learning anything anyone would teach him. He told her about how Babbitt wanted to retire and give the ship over to Peter. It worked for a while, until Peter handed the ship over to someone else so he could go back to Valleri.
By the time Peter had explained all the details, they had made it to the other side of the Fire Swamp, a thick, dreadful forest. They ran into a couple of problem's on the way, but Peter convinced me to skip that part, so I won't go into detail.
(Yelling offstage) Nate, did you steal my water bottle again!?
Open Scene to show Peter and Valleri walking hand in hand out of the thick wood's.
Peter: Well, that wasn't too hard, was it Vall?
Valleri:(smiling) Nope.
Suddenly, Prince Farnsworth (Ronnie) ride's up on his hoarse, along with a bunch of soldiers and his faithful buddy, Count Renoldo. Peter step's in front of Valleri protectively.
Ronnie: Surrender.
Peter look's confused.
Peter: You mean you want to surrender to me?
Ronnie: No! You need to surrender so I can take my bride home!
Peter: Oh.....But what if I don't want to?
Ronnie: You don't have a choice. Release her, or I'll have you killed!
Peter: Than kill me!
Valleri: No! I'll come with you, but you have to promise not to hurt him.
Ronnie: Very well.
Valleri:(to Peter) I would never forgive myself if you died again, not when I can do something about it.
Peter: But Vally.....
Valleri: I love you, Peter.
Peter: I love you, too.
Ronnie:(low to Renoldo) Once we're out of sight, lock'im up.
Renoldo: Ok.
Ronnie rides up and lift's Valleri up onto his horse before they even have a chance to say goodbye, and rides away. Once their out of sight, four night's surround Peter.
Peter: Hey! He said you wouldn't hurt me!
Renoldo: And you believed him!? HAH!! Show's how much you know.
Peter frown's as he's being led away.
Nar: CUT! That was great, Peter! Nice job on the hiroic's!
Peter's voice: Thank's!
Scene 15: Blackscreen:
Nar: And so, Valleri was taken back to Ronnie's castle, where she pretty much moped around, not talking to anyone. One night, she had a dream. Ronnie had addressed the town's people again, this time reporting his fathers death, and the merriage of himself to Valleri. She had come out to address the people, this time as their queen. But when they all bowed to her, one women stoud and cursed her, yelling at her for dismissing her one true love in the forest and marrying another man! When Valleri had had this awefull dream, she made a solid decision right then and there.
Gosh darn these stupid monolog's! Matt, find Dassa and tell her to gimme back my water bottle!
Open Scene: Ronnie sit's at a desk, writing, when a man comes into the room.
Man: You wanted me?
Ronnie:(looks up) Ah, yes. I have a job for you, Jeremy.
Jeremy:(rubbing hands together evily) Heeheehee, I'm all ears, you're highness.
Ronnie: Good. Now listen, I want you to clear out the theives forrest, arrest everyone. I've heard that our enemy across the sea is planning to murder my fiance on the night of out honeymoon.
Jeremy: It would take all my men plus reinforcement's to do that!
Ronnie: Then get to it! I want--
Ronnie stop's talking when Valleri enters the room.
Ronnie: Hello, darling!
Valleri:(ignoring his greeting) It comes to this, I love Peter. I alway's have and I alway's will. But if you say that I still have to marry you, don't think I'm joking when I tell you I'll be dead by morning.
Ronnie is not too shocked about this, and think's for a moment.
Ronnie: Ok, consider the wedding off. We'll send word to this.....
Valleri: Peter.
Ronnie: Peter, right away. (hesitant) But, if by any chance he shouldn't accept you, since you're the one who left after all, (taking her hand) Please consider me as an alternative to suicide?
Valleri:(sighs) Very well.
Scene 16: Peter is strapped to a table in a lab somewhere under ground. Sitting in a chair nearby is Micky, wearing a brown cloak over his normal clothes and reading something.
Nar: So they took Peter captive and hid him in their secret underground laboratory.
Peter opens his eye's and looks around, then sees Micky. For a moment, he doesn't do anything, only screw's up his face in thought. He then looks at the camera.
Peter:(whispering) What's my line?
Nar:(smack's forehead) Talk to Micky!
Peter: Oh........what do I say?
Nar: Ask him who he is!
Peter:(confused) But I already know who he is.
Nar: Not in this scene you don't!
Peter: Oh, right. Ok......(clears throat)......Who are you?
Micky:(looking up from reading) Huh?
Micky obviously hasn't been listening to the conversation between Peter and the Narrator.
Micky: Oh, right! I'm Micky......I mean, I'm an over-worked, under-paid, and under apreciated laboratory ganater.
Peter: Oh......Where am I?
Micky:(turning back to reading) On a table.
Peter roll's his eye's and blows air from his cheeks, that had not been the answer he was expecting.
Peter: Watcha readin'?
Micky: The script.
Peter: Hm......Which part?
Micky: The part where you die.
Peter's eye's widen and a nasious look crosses his face.
Micky:(grinning) I'm kidding, man. Take a load off. You're the hero, remember? You can't die.
Peter: Oh, that's true. Say, what are you doing down here, anyway? I thought you already had a part?
Un-identified voice: Tight casting!
Micky: Shut up!
Peter snickers slightly, and Micky glares at him before turning back to his reading. Peter stop's.
Peter: So when do I get outta here? This table's really uncomfortable..........
Micky: Uh......(flip's through script).....Somewhere around scene twenty, I think.
Peter: Oh, ok.
Just then, a door open's at the far end of the room and Count Renoldo enters.
Micky: Hi there!
Peter: Hi!-oh, it's you.
Renoldo:(smiling widely) Yes! It is I! Renoldo!!
He strikes a theatrical pose, and Micky and Peter both roll their eye's. Renoldo drops his pose, dissapointed.
Renoldo:(frowning; sarcastically) Gosh, don't all cheer at once.
He walk's over to a strange looking machine, then look's over at Micky, expectantly. Micky frowns, puzzled.
Micky: What?
Nar: Take him over there!
Micky:(looking at camera) Who?
Nar: Peter!!
Peter: What?
Micky, Oh, right.
Peter:(confused) Huh?
Micky jump's from his seat and tosses aside the script, which knock's over a shelf of glass bottles! Everyone flinches at the sound of shattering glass, and the Narrator smack's his/her forehead, groaning.
Micky: Oooops.....heh heh......(clears throat)
Micky turns his attention back to the job at hand, and pushes the table in which Peter is laying on over to the machine, and Renoldo begin's to hook Peter up to the machine by sticking little suction cup's here and there.
Peter:(nervously) What are you doing?
Renoldo: You'll see.
Peter: What if I don't want to?
Renoldo: You don't have a choice.
Peter: Drat.
Micky: Can I leave now?
Renoldo: No, stay and watch, you might learn something.
Micky: From you? (crossing arms) I hardly think so.
Renoldo ignores this comment and walk's over to a large lever.
Renoldo: Are you ready?
Peter:............No.
Renoldo: Too bad.
He pushes up on the lever, and the machine begin's to make noise as it starts up. They both watch, Renoldo with interrest, Micky with grief, as Peter's entire body jerk's forcefully. He closes his eye's tight and bites his lower lip, trying not to scream. Micky cringes and turns away, not wanting to watch.
Then it all stops, and all is quiet.
Renoldo: Peter! You've just had one year of your life removed, what are you gonna do next!?!
Micky roll's his eye's, disgusted, and Peter begin's to cry.
Renoldo: Hm....Fascinating.
Scene 17: Blackscreen.
Nar: As luck would have it, the three remaining pirates had met back up and decided that, concidering the old fart was dead, they needed a new leader.
Mike's voice: Hey, I thought I was alway's the leader!
Nar: Sorry, Mike, but that's your TV show, this is a completely different gig.
Mike's voice: Hmph.
Nar: Anyway, they set out to find one.
Scene opens to show Mike and Davy walking alone through the forest.
Nar: Hey, where's Micky?
Just then, Micky run's on from off SR, drest in the attire from scene 7-9, as are Mike and Davy.
Micky:(looking at camera) Sorry, I had to change, no one told me my scene was coming up.
Nar: Whatever, just keep it going.
Davy:(looking at camera) Boy, you sure are in a rotten mood, aren't you?
Nar:(ignoring Davy) Say your next line, Mike.
Mike: Ok, uh.........(looking at camera) What's my next line?
Davy:(pointing) Hey, look!
Mike: Oh yeah, that's my line........
All three turn to see Renoldo walking out of a passageway in a tree and walking away, not noticing them.
Micky: Think he'd be a good leader?
Mike: Naw, he's a bad guy.
Micky & Davy: Oh.
Scene 18: Ronnie sit's at his desk, writing, when Valleri enters. Ronnie sees her and smiles, getting up from his chair.
Ronnie: Hi!
Valleri:(not returning his greeting) Any word from Peter?
Ronnie: Nope, not yet. You know, you shouldn't get your hope's up. He may not answer, or we may not be able to find him. (smiling) Of course, soon we'll be married and it won't matter anymore.
Pause:
Valleri:(suspiciously) You didn't send word to him, did you?
Ronnie look's at her, pretending to be surprised.
BUSTED!
He say's nothing.
Valleri: No matter, Peter will come for me anyway.
Ronnie roll's his eye's.
Ronnie: Silly girl, your faith in that long-haired dummy is hilarious.
Valleri's eye's narrow with rage and she SLAP'S Ronnie across the face.
Valleri: Don't ever speak of my Peter in such a way!
Ronnie:(after composing himself) I wouldn't have done that if I were you.
He grabbes her arm and pull's her out of the room.
Change scene: Ronnie pushes Valleri into her room and lock's the door, entrapping her.
Valleri:(from inside) Let me out!!
Ronnie walk's off, ignoring her demand's.
Scene 19: Mike, Micky and Davy are still standing in the wood's. Long Pause.
Nar:(whispering) Hey! Psssssst! We're rolling!
Mike:(Looking at camera) Huh? Oh, we're waiting for Ronnie.
Davy:(looking at camera) Yeah, he's supposed to storm into the shot and we're supposed to be hiding.
Nar: Then why aren't you?
All three look at each other in question, then walk off SL.
Nar: Hey, where are you going!?
Micky:(from offstage) We're hiding.
Nar: Oh. Ronnie, where are you!?
Just then, a young girl with light brown hair walk's in from SR, dressed in faded 60's jeans and a tan "The Who" T-shirt, wearing a headset and holding a clipboard.
Girl: Um, I think he's in the bathroom.
Nar: Hadassah! I'm filming!
Hadassah(Dassa): Oh, sorry.
She rushes off SR.
Dassa's voice: He's comin'!
Nar: Ok, thank's!
Footsteps:
Ronnie's voice: You ready?
Nar: Yes, I've been ready.
Ronnie's voice: Ok.
Ronnie storm's on from SR and walk's into the secret entrance in the tree. Once he's gone, Mike, Micky and Davy come out.
Micky: Think he'd be a good leader?
Davy: No, he's a prince.
Micky:("duh" attitude) Exactly!
Mike: Nah, he's already got a whole country to take care of.
Micky: True.
Scene 20: Renoldo is sitting at a card table playing card's with Mr. Schnieder, the Monkee's dummy (don't ask me how this is done, but they do it in the show all the time).
Peter is still strapped to the table with suction cup's attached to him. There is a long pause before anyone does anything.
Nar: Where's Micky?
Renoldo:(looking up) I dunno, he's probably changing.
Nar: Crap, we don't have time for this. David!!
The camera is slightly knocked out of place and we hear footsteps. The Narrator is walking away.
Nar:(distant) David!?! Dassa, where's David?
Dassa's voice:(distant) I don't know.
Davy walk's by camera and in the direction of the voices, his image is fuzzy because he is so close to the camera and it doesn't have time to focus before he's gone.
Davy's voice:(growing distant as he walk's) I'm right here.
Nar:(distant) Not you, the other David.
Voice:(distant) Did somebody call me?
Nar:(distant) David! There you are. C'mon, I need your help.
More footsteps, then a boy is shoved in front of the camera, script in hand. He is wearing blue-jean short's and a grey t-shirt. The camera begin's to adjust.
David: What am I supposed to do?
Nar: Just say Micky's line's.
David:(looking at script) Oh, ok. That sound's easy.
Nar: Oh, crap! This thing is still on!
Dassa:(distant) Forget about it, just keep going!
Nar: Ok. Ronnie, get ready. And......Action!
Ronnie burst's into the underground laboratory, anger written all over his face.
Renoldo: Oh, hey, Ronnie!
Ronnie ignores him and walk's over to the table Peter is strapped to.
Ronnie: Do you love her?
Peter: Who?
Ronnie: Valleri, you half-witt!
Peter: Well, you don't have to yell. Sure I love her.
Ronnie:(anger rattling his voice) Then believe me, no man will have ever suffered as greatly as you!
Peter's eye's widen at that, and Ronnie reaches for the lever to the machine!
Pause:
Nar:(whispers) David!
David: Huh? Oh......(look's at script)Um......Wait, stop!
Ronnie, taking his cue, pushes up on the lever!
Renoldo:(jumping out of his seat) Not that high!!!
Peter's pain-filled scream fill's the entire room and his body jerks violently! David shudders and turns away.
David:(mumbling) I can't believe I agreed to do this.
After a moment, Ronnie pushes the lever back down, and the screams stop. Peter is still.
Pause:
David:(not understanding the scene) You suck, man!!
Nar: David!!
Nar: And so, Valleri discovered the true identity of her rescuer, and she was so happy to see Peter slive.
Valleri's voice: Oh, Peter! I'm so happy you're alive!

Ronnie: Do you love her?
Peter: Who?
Ronnie: Valleri, you half-witt!
Peter: Well, you don't have to yell. Sure I love her.
Ronnie:(anger rattling his voice) Then believe me, no man will have ever suffered as greatly as you!
Peter's eye's widen at that, and Ronnie reaches for the lever to the machine!
Pause:
Nar:(whispers) David!
David: Huh? Oh......(look's at script)Um......Wait, stop!
Ronnie, taking his cue, pushes up on the lever!
Renoldo:(jumping out of his seat) Not that high!!!
Peter's pain-filled scream fill's the entire room and his body jerks violently! David shudders and turns away.
David:(mumbling) I can't believe I agreed to do this.
After a moment, Ronnie pushes the lever back down, and the screams stop. Peter is still.
Pause:
David:(not understanding the scene) You suck, man!!
Nar: David!!
