Chapter 6- The Deadly Joke

A/N: I don't own Monty Python or The Wizard of Oz. Please review but no flames.

The group trotted down the yellow brick road. As they came out of Palin Country, they came upon a sign. "Poppy Field" was crossed out and written above it was "Episode One, Final Sketch." Graham looked at it quizzically.

"Well, let's go on ahead." Graham said.

Patsy looked to the right to see that the road forked. He started to say "Let's take the other way because I have a bad feeling about this place." But instead, he just kept his mouth shut.

The group trotted past the sign and into the fields. There were no poppies, just weeds and trees. Suddenly, they heard voices saying something that I cannot type here for safety of the reader. Graham gasped as he realized what was happening. Michael and Smokes Too Much began laughing and he too began to giggle. He noticed Patsy and John were not laughing.

"Patsy? Why aren't you laughing?"

"I don't get the joke."

"Patsy… Hee hee… Listen to me…. You have to get out of here! This joke is deadly!" Graham gasped.

"But Sire! I can't leave you!" Patsy said. "You are the reason I was created! I can't leave without you!"

"Patsy… go… please…"

Suddenly, Smoke Too Much stopped laughing. He looked at Graham.

"Abtually, I don't get the joke either." Smoke Too Much said.

John rolled his eyes.

"Well, I don't see what's so funny about it."

Graham looked at Patsy.

"Go… now… Patsy… before you… get… the joke…"

Michael collapsed. John and Smoke Too Much ran to him. Graham wheezed as he tried to stop laughing.

"Sire… You need to stop laughing! Please, Sire… I don't want you to die!"

Graham coughed as he laughed. He soon realized he was being cradled. He looked up at Patsy.

"Get out… while you… still can…" Graham gasped.

"Let's make them depressed! Tell them about how I was attabed by a Siamese Bat!" Smoke Too Much said.

Graham and Michael laughed even harder.

"Tell them about my parrot and how it's deceased! Bereft of life! And how it's gone to meet its maker!" John shouted at the top of his lungs.

Michael suddenly stopped laughing while Graham continued on.

"It worked for Michael but not for Graham!" Patsy cried. "Surely you miss something Sire!"

Graham was now unconscious.

"Sire! Sire! Wake up!" Patsy cried.

"I don't think he made it…" Michael said.

The group decided to go on in Graham's honor. Suddenly, they heard a voice call out to them.

"I'm not dead!"

They all snapped around to see a rather ticked off Graham Chapman.

"Graham?" John asked.

Patsy ran to Graham who was just standing up. It seemed to be in slow motion to Graham. Patsy ran to him, throwing his heavy load to the ground, and then he jumped on Graham and hugged him, knocking him down.

"Alright, Patsy! I'm alive! Let's go on."

"What was it you missed, Sire?" Patsy asked.

"Well…I missed-"

"Graham! Look! It says that the Grail is only two Countries away! Let's go!"

With that, the subject was changed and the group went on their way toward Jones Country.
