Disclaimer: I only own Ellen...Nothing else...

Ellen walks in drinking Pepsi with a Yellow Lab at her heels.

"Who's that?" Rahne asks.

"This is Jack, my dog. I brought him here because my parents told me I had to take him with me today..." Ellen responds. "Let's hope today goes as good as yesterday.."

"That scene isn't today, is it?" Sam asks.

"Nope, I think it's tomorrow, though."

"Thank God!"

"Let's get started, people!" Ray calls, standing up from petting Jack.

"My parents are crazy.." Roberto mumbles for no reason.

"Ya know why?" Ray smirks, "Cuz one day years ago they looked at each other and said, 'Hey, why don't we have children?'"(1)

"...Not funny, Crisp!" Rob shakes his fist and begins to mutter phrases that don't sound very nice in Portugese.(2)

The scene opens in town, as solders march through, looking for Remy. Scott is heard ordering the men, "Search upstairs!" Some of the soldiers immediately go up a rickety wooden staircase.

"Look lively, men!" Cain orders.

They pass as the camera zooms in on a statue of a blacksmith. The blacksmith is holding a sword. Suddenly the sword is pulled back. We see Remy was hiding behind it.

He steps out and starts walking quickly. Just then, another group of soldiers march past and he goes into the first door he sees. It happens to be the blacksmith shop. The camera focuses on the sign that reads "Smith" with an anvil above it.

Inside the building, he sheaths his sword and looks around. The room appears to be empty. He walks over to the tool rack. He places his hat on it and grabs a hammer. His chains are making a lot of noise.

He hears a bottle drop to the floor, making him freeze. Then, he hears snoring. Blob, is sitting in a chair, passed out, but not drunk. Remy walks slowly to him and pokes him in the chest.

Fred doesn't move.

Remy starts to turn around and then, turns back and shouts, "Whoa!"

Fredstill doesn't move.

Gambit is convinced and he heads to the anvil and starts trying to hammer his way through the irons. It's futile. Frustrated, he shakes his arms in a lame attempt to break them apart, before noticing a big contraption with weapons circling around it and a Realistic Looking Robot (RLR) donkey to turn it. What he's really interested in is the big metal gears.

He takes a big metal tool straight out of the fire and eyes it.

With a hiss, theRLR donkey brays and starts moving quickly. Remy shakes the tool until it's cool and drops it. Then, he sticks his chains around one of the gears. The gears break through them easily. He grins and then sees the door handle turn.

He runs to hide as Sam walks in and shuts the door behind him. Sam looks oddly at the RLR donkey and rushes over to calm it down. He takes his coat off and walks over to where Fred is still sleeping.

"Right where I left you," he says with relief, unbuttoning his shirt halfway. He looks over at the anvil and notices the hammer. "Not where I left you." He then notices the hat. He goes to touch it and a sword smacks his hand.

There are now balls of fire in Amara's hands.

Sam looks at her and mouths, "Acting."

Sam looks up and sees Remy holding a sword to his chest. Sam backs up, "You're the one they're hunting. The pirate."

"You look somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Remy asks.

"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates."

"Ah, well then, It would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me," Gambit says, turning away.

Sam grabs a sword and holds it up to his back. Remy hears the noise and turns around. The sword in about a foot away from his face, but Remy shows no fear. He walks towards Sam, making him back up. "Do you think this wise, boy? Crossing blades with a pirate?"

Sam holds the blade up higher. "You threatened Miss Howlett."

Remy rubs his blade up and down Sam's causing a metallic noise.

The sword fight soon begins. Both are masters, but Remy seems to have the advantage at first, while Sam backs away. It's soon seen, they are actually about equal in skill.

Backed to a short wall, Sam takes the advantage and backs Remy up almost to the wall.

Gambit lowers his sword to say, "You know what you're doing. I'll give you that. Excellent form. But how's your footwork?" He moves his feet and starts the fight again. Sam's feet mimic Remy's exactly. "If I step here." Sam blocks all his thrusts.

"Very good. And now I step again." The battle continues. Sam counteracts every slash. But it was all a ruse to get Sam to the other side so that Remy was nearer the door. "Ta."

He heads to the wall and jumps up it. When he is nearly to the door, Sam throws his sword, barely missing Remy's head. The sword is stuck in the door.

Gambit stares wide-eyed at the sword and then back at Sam. Then he attempts to remove it. It doesn't budge an inch.

Sam smiles as Remy's attempts continue. He finally gets free.

Remy turns around and walks down the stairs. "That is a wonderful trick. Except, once again, you are between me and my way out. And now, you have no weapon."

Sam happens to be standing near the tool rack and the fire. He pulls a sword out of the fire. The end is red hot and glowing. Remy's eyes grow wide and the RLR donkey brays and begins to move.

Remy tries to get past him, but Sam's blade cuts him off. Sparks fly as the blades meet.

The fight furiously until Sam's blade is caught in one of the chains still around Remy's wrist. He flings it away. Sam does a back flip over one of the many spinning planks of wood, caused by the RLR donkey's movement. He lands upright in front of a rack full of swords and grabs one.

"When did Sam learn to do backflips?" Amara asked offstage.

"Logan taught me," Sam replies and gets back to fighting.

Remy reaches his and, clinging to the pole, fights. "Who makes all these?"

Climbing higher on the pole, Sam answers, "I do. And I practice with them thee hours a day."

While the battle continues, Remy quips, "You need ta find yourself a woman."

They leave the pole and are back on solid ground. Remy decides to irritate Sam further by adding, "Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet." With a disgusted look on his face, he asks, "You're not a eunuch, are you?" There he looks meaningfully downwards.

"I practice three hours a day so when he meet a pirate, I can kill it!" Sam says passionately, slashing violently at Remy.

This causes Gambit to climb onto a cart that is being propped up by a combination of wood and the short wall. Sam climbs up on the cart as well. The wood breaks and causes the two-wheeled cart to fall off of the wall. The cart is incredibly unstable footing for the two swashbucklers. They rock back and forth as they fight.

Sam sees an opportunity and takes his sword, wraps it up in Remy's chains and sticks it into the rafter. He smiles again, while Remy slashes one handedly, trying to release his arm.

His foot hits a loose plank that comes up and knock Remy under the chin, kicking him off the cart. Sam then pulls himself up to the rafter and pulls out the sword.

Sam grabs another sword and jumps back on the cart just as Remy falls onto it.

Sam goes flying into the rafters, while Remy rolls backwards into the wall. He's a little disoriented but he stands up and gets back on the cart, looking for Sam. He grins as he catches sight of him up in the rafters.

But, at that moment, Sam cuts a rope.

Remy's look quickly changes to "oh-crap," as a net holding about four barrels falls onto the other side of the barrel. He flies into the rafters as well. He manages to hold on to one rafter and climb up quickly.

They jump back and forth from one rafter to another until they finally land on the same one. The battle rages on.

During this battle, Amara and Rogue are watching with intense gazes.

Ellen elbows Ray and points at the girls. Ray starts chuckling.

Remy drops his sword. They both flip down. Sam ends up on the ground before Remy. Remy, seeing no way to get his sword, grabs a bag of red powder and throws it in Sam's face.

Almost blinded, Sam staggers for a minute, while Remy gets down. He grabs his sword and looks up, only to find a gun in his face.

"You cheated," Sam says in amazement.

"Pirate," Remy says with the "duh" look on his face.

Just then, a shaking occurs at the front door, announcing the solders have decided to search the blacksmith's shop. Sam moves between Remy and the back door.

"Move away," Remy says.

"No."

"Please move."

"No," Sam says, "I cannot just step aside and let you escape."

Remy cocks the gun angrily. "This shot is not meant for you."

Sam looks strangely at him, as the sound of glass breaking against Remy's head fills the empty building.

Without a change of expression, Remy falls forward, unconscious, revealing Fred standing, just barely, holding the broken empty bottle he had dropped earlier.

That's when the solders break through the door.

"There he is," one of them calls, "Over here!"

Pyro, Juggernaut and Mesmero all enter. "Excellent work, Mr. Smith," Pyro claims, "You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive."

The half-drunken man replies, "Just doing my civic duty, sir." His words are slurred and he can hardly stand straight.

"Well," Pyro says, "I trust that you will always remember this is the day that Captain Remy LeBeau almost escaped. Take him away." He turns away as the solders pick the unconscious man up.

"Cut!" the two directors calls.

Amara rushes over to Sam and squeezes him.

"Can't...breathe..." Sam manages.

"Sorry," Amara blushes.

"Ya did good, Swamp Rat," Rogue admits to Gambit.

"Thank ya, cherie," Remy smirks, snaking his arm around Rogue's waist.

"Get off meh!"

Remy sighed as Rogue shoved his arm off her waist, "I try. I really do.."

Ray smiles and says, "She'll come around one day. Trust me."

"That femme likes you a lot. I can tell."

Ray blushed.

"Bye guys!" Ellen walked over as Remy started following Rogue.

"See ya Ray," she kissed his cheek.

(Told ya I have too much time on my hands...Hehe.)

1. Quote from Jeff Foxworthy.

2. It's odd that Roberto's Brazilian and speaks Portuguese. Well...I think so anyway.

For you peoplewho don't know what a eunuch is, it was a man who had been castrated in order to keep his voice high pitched for, ahem, singing purposes. This was normally done before puberty, I think.

I probably won't update any more this week...cuz I'm pretty busy. But I'll update next week! See ya!
