HOW MANY MORE CHARACTERS CAN WE ADD TO THIS STORY? – Scene 5
Copper stares at Gulliver with a blank expression on his face.
Copper: Gulliver, you idiot! I'm on a very important mission. There's no time for practical jokes!
Gulliver: Quite sorry, Copper! You seem in an awfully bad mood. You don't seem to be yourself.
Copper: Well, if you've been through what I've been through…
Gulliver: Oh, cheer up! That's no excuse, is it?
Copper: I guess not… you're right.
Copper sighs and looks around.
Copper: Y'know, I was on my way to the museum… but I don't really know where it is.
Gulliver: Follow me!
Gulliver leads Copper out of the thick forest and directly to the museum, where Blathers is waiting outside.
Blathers: Copper! I've been expecting you! And it looks as though you've brought a friend. Hello, Gulliver.
Copper: You… you were expecting me?
Blathers: Why yes of course. Your friends are inside… they'll tell you all about what happened.
Copper: OK…
Blathers leads Copper and Gulliver into the museum. Booker and Rover are waiting inside.
Booker: Why hello, Copper! Looks like you made it after all.
Copper: Where have you two been? What happened?
Rover: Well, it's a long story. You see, at first –
THUMP!
Rover: What? What's that sound?
THUMP THUMP!
Booker: Copper… I think…
THUMP THUMP THUMP!
Copper: What? It can't be! Not again!
Booker: This is dreadful! They can't use the same plot twice in one film!
Copper: It's only scene five and they've run out of ideas!
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!
Blathers: What IS that?
Copper: Come, I'll show you. Follow me!
Copper leads them all outside. However, there is not a cloud in the sky.
Copper: This doesn't make any sense! Where's the cloud? And the rain?
THUMMMPPPP!
A huge giant lands on the ground with a thunderous laugh. Booker screams like a little girl and passes out, while Gulliver goes into shock. Blathers pees himself and Rover just stares at the giant.
Giant: I… HERE… BRING YOU… MY MASTER!
Copper turns to his friends. None of them listen to him as he translates.
Copper: I think he's here to bring us to his master.
Rover nods his head and the giant scoops all of them up. At this point in time Rover begins to mumble to himself incoherently, talking absolute gibberish. Copper folds his arms and grunts, thinking to himself. The giant carries them for a while, traveling over much territory. Finally he stops.
Giant: WE… STOP… HERE… YOU… MEET MASTER!
The giant carefully sets them all down. By now Booker has woken up, and everyone is quite stable, for the time being. They gather in their surroundings: A large castle is in front of them with a great big iron door. Copper walks up to the door and opens it.
Copper: C'mon, guys. It's quite safe. At least, it is for me… since I'm invincible.
Booker: You get all the cool stuff.
Copper: I know. I know.
The guests walk through the door to find a man on a throne.
Copper: Not again. Another man on a throne!
This man rises and looks at Copper with a fiery gaze.
ER: How dare you address me like some ordinary man! Yes, I am on a throne, and you should respect me, like you would a king!
Copper bows, mockingly.
Copper: Yes, your majesty.
ER: You can address me by the name ER.
Copper: Why ER?
ER: Because! My name has to match everyone else's!
Copper: What? That doesn't make any sense!
ER: It's true! I need to have E and R in my name, because every relevant character in this movie has an E before an R. CoppER, BookER, BlathERs, RovER, and GullivER!
Copper: Oh, I see. But… who ARE you? I mean, why did you bring us here?
ER slowly walks toward our heroes and smiles.
ER: Because… it is I who sent my ghosts to capture your friends. After the ghosts captured them, they turned them to my side. I bribed them, you see.
ER motions towards Booker and Rover. Copper's friends go over to ER and join his side.
ER: I'm afraid that now you are outnumbered. I have my giant, and two allies.
Copper: But… Booker! Rover! You have to help ME!
Booker: Sorry Copper. ER made an offer to us that we can't refuse.
Copper: What's that?
Rover: A lifetime supply of raisins! Isn't it great? And when we get tired of eating raisins, we can sell them on Ebay! It's an incredible offer!
Copper: I hate you guys.
Blathers: If I may be so bold… can I ask a question?
ER: Go ahead.
Blathers: What are you going to do with us?
ER: Well, first I'll lock you up… and then I'll wait until midnight comes… then I'll let Copper go to Hell: Animal Edition, and then I'll take over all the Animal Crossing cities of the world!
Copper: What! No!
ER: It's true. And Booker and Rover will rule along with me.
Copper: That's not fair!
ER: It's certainly fair. Booker, Rover, throw Copper into a cell, along with his petty friends.
Booker: Yes sir.
Rover: Right away sir.
Booker and Rover take Copper, Blathers, and Gulliver to a cell and lock them up. All hope seems to be lost for our heroes… but is it?

A/N – Well, I'm getting bored with this plot, so I'll probably just kill off all the characters in some completely random way and change the direction of this story entirely. Oh don't worry, I'll do a good job. You know I will.
