A/N: OK. This was supposed to be a condensed version of Neverwhere (which I just recently read, and LOVED!!). Then, I figured, what the heck? There are so many hilarious parts in it, I couldn't resist parodying them all. So this is really not that condensed. *snickers*
Disclaimer: *groans* Must I? *men in black suits close in* Fine, fine. Neil Gaiman owns everything and everyone...but the marquis de Carabas is MINE!!! *men in black draw guns* *groans again* Fine, the marquis is Mr. Gaiman's, too. *pout*
Enjoy. ^.~

~ A Neverwhere Parody by Andi ~
Richard: Hmmm. Three pages into the book, I think I'll foreshadow later events and show my true character by giving someone an umbrella and letting myself get soaked and sick. Here ya go, old lady.
Old Lady: Thank you, young man. *to herself* Sucker! He's gonna end up in the gutter someday.
Richard: What a nice old lady.
*three years later*
Richard: Wow. I'm ordinary. And boring. Just like everyone else. *sigh* How commonplace.
Jessica: I'm ordinary and boring, and I want to make my fiance just as boring as I am. For some reason, he doesn't seem to be so enthusiastic about this. *sigh* Men.
Richard: Uh-oh. I forgot to confirm my reservations for that big dinner with Jessica's boss. Damn. She's gonna hate me now.
Jessica: *glares* Bad Richard.
Door: Ow.
Jessica: So then I said, "No WAY," and he was all "YES way," and I was all "NO way," and he was all –
Richard: Er, Jessica. There's a girl bleeding on the street in front of you.
Jessica: *blink* And your point is?
Door: Ow.
Richard: OK, screw you. I'm going. *picks up Door and leaves*
Jessica: Richard!! I'M DUMPING YOU!!!
Richard: YES!!!
Andi the Almighty Author (ooh, alliteration): *pokes* You're supposed to be a nice guy.
Richard: Oops. I mean, drat. That sucks. Poor me. *weeps* Ah well. *takes Door home*
~
Door: Uh-oh. Where am I?
Richard: Um...London?
Door: *looks out the window* SHIT!!!
Richard: Um...are you OK?
Door: Yeah. Just let me go and foul up your bathroom in an effort to clean myself up and patch my wound.
Richard: *shrug* Knock yourself out.
Croup: Bestow upon us, if you would be so kind, the young female you are hosting, O Malodorous Yeoman of London Above.
Richard: Say what?
Croup: Give us the girl, you smelly Topsider.
Vandermar: Yah. What 'e said.
Richard: Sod off, Dumb and Dumber. I don't have time for this.
Vandemar: *glareglareglare*
Richard: Er...I mean...exit, if you would be so kind.
Vandemar: *evil grin*
Croup: Let's go, Vandy. *turns to Richard...Terminator voice* Ah'll be bahck.
Richard: *scratches head* Wow. What odd men.
Door: You don't know the half of it. Now, watch while I talk to birds and rats.
Richard: Ooooh.
Door: Here, follow these random directions.
Richard: *reading* Why do I have to do this stuff?
Door: 'Cause it makes you look dumb. And there's nothing good on TV.
Richard: Riiiiight. And it'll get you out of my life quicker?
Door: Yup.
Richard: *shrug* Works for me.
Marquis de Carabas: I am the marquis de Carabas. Fear my incredible coolness!!!
Fangirls (including Andi): *shriek and faint*
Richard: Er...riiiiight.
Marquis: Shut up! Don't ask questions!
Richard: Um...that wasn't a question...
Marquis: I said don't ask questions!!!
Richard: Stop yelling at me!!!
Marquis: *sigh* Amateurs.
Richard: *pouts*
Marquis: Now. Follow me several hundred feet into the sewers below the city.
Richard: Ew.
Marquis: *glares*
Richard: Er, I mean, OK. Let's go.
Marquis: Good. You're catching on.
Richard: Ew! *holds nose* This smells like the sewers.
Marquis: ...it IS the sewers.
Richard: GROSS!!
Marquis: *glares*
Richard: Er, I mean, lead on, MacDuff.
Marquis: It's lay on, MacDuff, actually.
Richard: Whatever.
Marquis: Don't look down.
Richard: *looks down* HOLY CRAP!!!!!!
Marquis: *irritated sigh*
Old Bailey: Dammit. It's you.
Marquis: Good to see you, too, Old Bailey. *foreshadowing of silver box*
Old Bailey: Ooooh. I mean, I don't want it.
Marquis: Too bad.
Richard: *stands around uselessly*
Marquis: Yo! Topsider! Time to split.
Richard: Took ya long enough.
*They exit from Richard's broom closet*
Richard: ...y'mean I could've taken this route all the time? *sheesh*
Marquis: *glares*
Richard: Er, I mean...I'm so glad I got to go on this adventure and meet tons of fascinating new people, and see the sewers of London up close and personal..?
Marquis: *smirk* Well, no, you're not, not at all. But that works for now. *dashing grin* *THUD as Andi faints in delight*
Door: Well, sayonara, kid. It's been great. *kisses cheek*
Richard: Kid? I'm, like, ten years older than you...*indignant pout*
*Door and the marquis disappear*
Richard: Huh. Look at that. They're gone. Ah well. *drops onto couch and snoozes*
