[A/N For those of you that don't know I have a terrible fear of clowns. In one of the Jack episodes there is a man named Zeke Clench...he reminded me of a clown and send me into a fit of hysteria. Another thing, the part where Megan taps the man on the shoulder has to do with an AIM icon I had. It said…"Clowns Suck" and that scene is showed in the icon. That is the background to this fun filled story]
Tale 4, Cowboys at the Circus
The familiar trio was headed through a quaint little village when Mollie saw a sign on a wall.
"Outside town, guys." she smiled. "The circus is in town. Can we go?!"
Jack rubbed his chin as it to say. 'I don't know…' Mollie gave him the puppy eyes.
"Please? Pleasy, weezy, squeezy, fleas!?"
"Ugh!" Jack grimaced "Alright! Alright, just don't do that again! It's impossibly cute!"
Mollie cheered. Megan groaned.
"Do we have to? I…I don't like the circus." she mumbled.
"But Megan just the other day you told me you can't get enough circus popcorn." Mollie reminded.
"It's…umm…I…" she sighed. "Okay…let's go."
~*~
The crowd cheered at the acrobats, as they finished their act. Megan looked around and fidgeted.
"Guys," she said "I've got to…umm…get something to drink." she shifted through the crowd and out of the tent.
"What is ailing her?" Jack pondered.
Mollie, her fan girl nature getting the best of her decided this was her chance.
"She must have eaten some bad cotton candy. Now, why don't we just watch the show?" Mollie grabbed Jack's arm and snuggled up. A large sweat drop adorned Jack's head. He rolled his eyes and muttered a resounding "Oh."
~*~
Back with Megan, she finished her lemonade and sifted through the crowd. Suddenly she had the extreme need to go to the bathroom. She tapped a nearby man in a poncho on the shoulder.
"Excuse me? Do you know where the restrooms are?"
The man in the poncho, stood, with his back to Megan.
"Hello…?" she asked.
Slowly he turned around…
~*~
Jack and Mollie were enjoying the show (well, Mollie was enjoying groping Jack) when they heard a scream.
"Oh no, that was Megan! She's in trouble! I must help her!" Jack declared.
Jack leapt out of the stands and booked it from the tent leaving Mollie fallen on one side.
"How romantic…" She muttered. "I try to strut my stud and he turns into Lassie."
She continued to pout as she left the stands and followed Jack.
~*~
Jack found Megan in the clutches of Zeke Clench.
"Jack!!!" she wailed. "Save me from the killer clown!"
Zeke laughed and squeezed the girl tighter
"You ignorant lil' woodchuck, I ain't no clown!"
"Big red nose, fearsome white face, scary beyond all reason? You're a clown alright!" Megan squirmed in Zeke's grasp. "Now SAVE ME, JACK!"
"I knew that if I snatched this pretty little miss that I saw ya with, you'd come a-runnin'! So, if you want her, be a man and come and get her!" Zeke challenged.
A small figure zipped past Zeke and Megan was gone.
"Huh? What the –"
"First rule of combat sucker–" a voice from behind called him. "Always surprise the enemy! Take it Lassie!"
Jack took a look at Zeke then attacked. He tried his best to stay out of the way of anyone in the crowd that was forming about. Apparently people thought it was some sort of dare devil attraction from the circus.
"Watch out! Run Jack! It's a clown!" Megan shrieked.
"It's a bounty hunter Meg." Mollie said, rolling her eyes.
"That's what I said!" Megan replied.
Jack continued to fight and didn't notice who snuck behind him. A pair of feminine but strong hands got a hold of him. Josie Clench.
"Hey there Suga, you remember me?" she grinned. Mollie's eye began to twitch.
"Is that the floozy who hit on Jack on the train?!" Megan backed away, knowing what was coming next.
"I hate that woman…" Mollie growled. Fire apparent in her eyes. She ran forward and grabbed Josie. The women wrestled on the ground. A group of men started chanting.
"Cat fight! Cat fight! Cat fight!"
Megan watched her friends fight the bounty hunters, and blinked like she was going to faint. The she saw Zeke corner Jack! She, with a burst of courage, snatched a jumbo, inflatable, hammer from a prize cart and charged at Zeke. Giving a great battle cry, she cracked Zeke right across the face, sending him reeling. Jack watched in awe at Megan who was really taking Zeke to town.
"My goodness…I never knew those hammers were so powerful!" he gasped.
Mollie and Josie were still wrestling. It had turned into a full out Jerry Springer style brawl. They clawed eyes, pulled hair, and the men who were chanting earlier were taking bets as to who would win. Mollie decided to stop fighting girly and pull out the big guns. She rolled away from Josie and got up. She grabbed the removable skirt on Josie's dress and pulled, sending the woman spinning.
"You want it back?" Mollie quipped, waving the fabric. Josie got up and ran at Mollie. She shrieked behind her clenched teeth as she got faster. Right when Josie was a breath away Mollie stepped out of the way. Josie was caught off balance and fell in the elephant watering tank that Mollie was standing in front of. Mollie stuffed the skirt over Josie's head and dunked her in the water.
"Then have it!" she cried.
Josie fought with the soggy fabric covering her face. She finally twisted her way out of the tank and fell face first into a pile of hay. She got up and screamed.
"This isn't worth it!!! My hair, my clothes! I'll be back you little wretch and then you'll be sorry"
Then Josie tromped off straw and dirt sticking to her face and hair.
"Yeah, lady, sure!" Mollie called after "Just try it, you rotten little tart!"
Megan continued to beat up Zeke.
"I don't like you clown man –"she yelled "–or any!–"she hit the right side of his face. "–of!" she hit the left side "–your! –"straight to the face. "FRIENDS!" Megan hit him in the groin. Zeke dropped to his knees. He held his injured area and gave a high squeak.
"Fine…" he said. "You win…I'll be going now…"
Zeke, slowly, so not to hurt himself, walked away.
"I did it! I concurred my fear!" Megan cheered brandishing her hammer toy.
Mollie snuck up behind her with a clown mask she found and yelled "BOO!"
Megan fainted with a scream and Mollie laughed.
"That was nice." Jack scolded, hauling Megan over his shoulder.
"I know, but it was too good to miss." Mollie chuckled
