Angel: You tell me...

Wolfwood: ::He's to confused to speak::

::Some guy that was standing in the shadows walks over to Vash::

The Mysterious Guy: I'll have you youngin's know this here Thomas speaks official english in Thomas tongue.

Angel: Two things, who the hell are you? and How the hell do you know what this Thomas said?

The M. Guy: I'm happen to be called Ol' Crackdonald and ever since I was a youngin' I been studying

the Thomas language.

Angel: ::Thinking:: His name explains it all.

::Wolfwood begins to come out of his trance::

Wolfwood: I have a good question. How the hell does a Thomas speak english in Thomas tongue. Doesn't

that mean he's still speaking in Thomas?

Ol' Crackdonald: Well I've never thought it that way! I guess I am the only human around who can understand a Thomas, so I guess I'll stay to translate the Thomas! Hee-Haw!

Vash: Yip-pie...

B.B.III: Can I have you all attention please?

::Warning from this point it gets a little serious, remember I said just a little::

::Angel is sitting on Vash's bed waiting for Vash to come out the bathroom::

:: He finally comes out the bathroom with his shirt off:: ::Lunar: Drool, Drool::

Angel: Listen Vash, I'm sorry I didn't know...I just was going to play a trick on you.

Vash: It's okay. But these scars aren't something I'd want to show a girl.

Angel: So...how did you get a of those scars?

Vash: That's my punishment for not killing. Heh- Heh

Angel: You know your smile are always so empty, like you have no feelings...

Vash: .........

::Angel stands up and walks over to Vash, then puts her hand on his cheek, and Vash smiles::

Angel: You know, this smile isn't empty like those others. Anyway you should go put on your clothes .

::After Vash is done, Angel grabs his hand::

Angel: Come on , we have a trial to get to.

Vash: Yeah...

::They leave his room::

::Pause::

Lunar: If that scene wasn't sweet all of you people are heartless bastards.

::Back to the story::

::Wolfwood feels a hand pinching his ass::

Wolfwood: Oww! Millie not now, later tonight.

Millie: Sadly, that's not me.

Wolfwood: ......Then who the fuck is that!

::Wolfwood turns around to see none other than his homophobic mailman::

::Pause::

Mailman Spanky: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

::Wolfwood leaves to go on his rampage::

Angel: That mailman is going to be one bloody and broken S.O.B. that is...if he survives.

Millie: Well it's nice to see Wolfwood playing with others!

::Vash, Angel, and Meryl look at her in disbelief::

Vash: Are you serious!?

Angel: Umm...Millie, Wolfwood isn't playing... he's gonna kill that mailman...

Millie: Really? Well, that's just depressing.

Meryl: .......You are hopeless!

::Anyway it's 15 more minutes till the trial, they waited for Wolfwood for a while, when

Wolfwood came back he had some blood on his pants and satisfied smile on his face::

Wolfwood: Before you all ask...I didn't kill him...I beat him to an inch of his life, whether he lives

or not is god's choice.

::B.B.III walks up to the gang and ask them to report to room 101, but not before flirting with Vash::

*In room 101 (That's the courtroom)*

B.B.III: The case begins in five minutes, let me brief you on what the case is about. Okay?

Everyone: Yes.

Gregorio: Yes Satan, my lord.

B.B.III: What the...anyway the is about a man named Jack Hoff. Some how he managed to hit 33 cities and

towns together. He stole from saloons, banks, and taverns, at least that is what the Sheriff of Felnarl town

is accusing him of. If sentenced he could spend up to 25 years behind bars.

::Vash, Angel, Wolfwood and Millie start laughing::

B.B.III: May I ask what is so funny?

Vash: Jack Hoff .

Meryl: Idiots.

::Five minutes pass by::

B.B.III: Okay everyone the trial is starting, so quiet down please.

::Insert the People Court theme::

Millie(Bailiff):: All rise for the honorable Judge Bluesummers.

::Pause::

::Lunar: Here's your extra surprise::

::Back to Story::

::Legato walks out of his chambers::

Vash: ::Strong Gasp:: Legato!

Legato: Oh Vash! What a pleasant surprise! Don't worry this time I'm not trying to kill you ! I'm going legit

this time! But anyway, bailiff please enter the plaintiff and the defendant!

Millie: Yes Mr. Sir! Walks out to bring in the plaintiff first, then the defendent!

Legato: Bailiff! Is my hair straight? Because I mean I straighted my hair, I used a hot comb, but still I'm not sure...

B.B.III: Judge Bluesummers!

Legato: Oh sorry, plaintiff state your business!

Plaintiff: I am here representing all of the towns/cities that were stolen from. We are suing the defendent Jack

Hoff...

Vash and the Gang: Hahahahahaha!

Plaintiff: ...Like I was saying, we are suing the defendent for all of the thefts. I will be self representing my self.

Legato: ::Yawn:: Okay and you defendant?

Mr. Hoff: I would like to plead...what's that thing where you want to say you didn't do the crime.

Plaintiff: ::Coughing:: Guilty.

Legato: ...I don't know...not guilty.

Mr. Hoff: Yeah! That's it! And I won't be representing myself.

Legato: ::Filing his nails:: Well then who will?

Mr. Hoff: My lawyer is running a little late.

Legato: ::Sigh:: Well give him five minutes and that's all, if he does not appear a lawyer will be appointed to you, yada, yada, yada.

::Insert the musical countdown from Jeopardy::

Legato: ::Painting his fingernails with clear polish:: Ok...since he did not show up I am forced to send for a sub lawyer...

::The courtroom doors open, some guy smoking a bong shows up::

Everyone: Johnny Cockrand!

Johnny: ::Puts the bong away:: Hey, Hey ya'll. Of course you all know me. But I don't you, because your not famous and you never will be!

Meryl: ::Typing and Thinking:: How can I get Angel away from Vash? I mean...she is prettier than me and her and Vash make a good couple. But who cares! I knew him first! And I will win!

::Pause::

Lunar: Whomp, Whomp Meryl.

::Back to the story::

Legato: Ohh...why did you show up !? I was just about to dismiss this case till tomorrow, now I have to miss my

date at the spa.

Vash: Goddamn pretty boy!

Mr. Hoff: But you said you would get me another lawyer.

Legato: Well, I lied! What are going to, sue me! He-he that was a good one.

Plaintiff: Well...um...shouldn't we begin?

Legato: I don't know should we?

Plaintiff: ::Grr:: May we begin?

Legato: Lets.

::From this point on I gonna give the plaintiff a name::

Legato: I never asked you plaintiff, what's your name ?

Plaintiff: Sheila Suka.

::Wolfwood whispering to Vash::

Wolfwood: Sheila Suka what?

Vash: ::Cracking up::

Sheila: We would like to call one of Jack's friends to the bench, he is named...urm...Mr. Michael Nicholson.

Wolfwood: Man! Shitty name!

::Michael approaches the bench::

Millie: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth under the name of...of...

Legato: ...For the love of Mike! God! It's god! Under the name of God!

Millie: Oh yeah! Under the name of God?

Michael: Yah!

Sheila: Mr. Nicholson, have you noticed anything suspicious with Mr. Hoff as of late?

Michael: Well no, except the fact that every time I saw him I saw loads of new things at his home.

Sheila: Ok! So how did you think he got all that new stuff?

Michael: Well, I thought it was because of his job, I mean he got a promotion at his job.

Sheila: ::Muttering:: ::Worthless Dipshit:: You may go now.

Sheila: We would like to call some else to the bench know, Mr. Dick Newball.

::Needless to say the whole gang (except Meryl) started laughing their asses off::

Legato: Order in the court!

Vash: To easy.

Sheila: Ahem! Anyway Mr. Newball, you may approach the bench.

::Dick approaches the bench::

Millie: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth under the name of ...umm....

Everyone in the courtroom and Lunar and Divine: GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Millie: Right! Under the name of God?

Dick: ::In a Michael Jackson voice:: Uh...Yes maam.

Sheila: So Mr. Newball. How would you describe Mr. Hoff in three words.

Dick: Hard Working, Determined and Kleptomaniac.

Sheila: Aha! So he did have sticky fingers at work!

Dick: Yes. He would steal office supplies.

Sheila: What type of office supplies?

Dick: Let's see, typewriters, staplers, pens, pencils, and etc.

Sheila: I see pencils and stuff, but how did he manage to steal type writers and why didn't you call him on it?

Dick: Well I don't know how he got the typewriter out, and let's just say I had my reasons as to why I didn't call him on it.

Sheila: Like?...

Dick: It's to hot for the courtroom ::He winks at Jack::

Angel: Eww...

Wolfwood: Nasty fuck.

Vash: Sick...

Legato: Well is that it Sheila?

Sheila: Yes.

Legato: Good. You got something to say Jack?

Jack: My lawyer will speak on my behalf.

Legato: Well hurry up then!

Johnny: I only have one thing to say.

Legato: They don't get it... Hurry up! I can still make it to my appointment!

Johnny: He didn't do it so there's nothing to it.

Everyone: Wow! That was good! Now I don't who should win the case.

Shiela: You've got to be f-ing with me!

Legato: Good. Well, jury it's up to you to decide who'll win AND MAKE IT SNAPPY!

Jurors: Yeah, Yeah.
