So huzzah and tally-hoe.
Sit back and here we go.
Attend the tale of Galavant!
It was a fairly beautiful and busy day in the kingdom of King Richard,a day like this could only mean one thing,and it was that a royal wedding was about to occur. Standing at the window of the tallest tower in King Richard's castle was the gorgeous fair maiden Madelena,however she wasn't in a very good mood,for she was about to forcefully be wed to the nefarious King Richard against her will and the only thing she wanted was her knight in shining armor Sir Galavant to come to her aid. The maiden was wearing a beautiful white dress and sported luxurious black hair that was kept very long. Her sulking was however interrupted by the concerned King Richard asking with concern "Is everything alright my princess?" to which she promptly turned around to see the king wearing a golden crown accompanied by black and gold jewelry strung across a black wedding outfit before Madalena made up a lie on the spot and meekly replied "Yes my king." with Richard indeed falling for it since he chuckled in response with relief "I should think so. In a few moments we shall marry and you will instantly become the richest and most powerful woman in the land."
Madalena despite obviously not caring about the wedding,slowly trudged down the stairs that led to the window and lied once again "Yes my king. Very exciting." to which Richard firmly continued due to him still not catching onto her lie "And then…tonight….you will join me in my bed." and Madelena realizing what that meant merely got a disgusted look on her face and retorted much more sternly "Yes my king."
"We're going to do it!" Richard giddily exclaimed with delight as he snapped his fingers and danced like a little child while Madelena getting more and more annoyed with him respectfully replied once again "Yes." to which the old king yet again continued on with his inane ramblings "We're not going to just sit and open gifts and talk about how much fun this wedding was okay? We're…..doing…...it." before the maiden once again replied although this time more uncomfortable than anything "Yep."
Richard then got a very pleased smile on his face and happily stated as he bowed before his soon to be wife "My lady." before he finally started to leave the room to which Madelena gave a silent sigh of relief thinking it was all over,until the man suddenly turned around and moronically clarified "I mean of course we're going to open some presents but then we're going to do it." which caused Madelena to instantly snapback "GOT IT!" but Richard however ignored it due to his unfathomable stupidity and instead called out afterwards "Lucy? Lucy? Lucy! Oh where on god's flat earth is that crabby girl? D-do you know when I was contemplating on kidnapping you and forcing you to marry me against your will,do you know what she said to me?"
"What my king?" Madelena replied out of respect for the king in an uninterested tone of voice to which Richard angrily replied in Lucy's own words "Maybe with a woman in charge some actual work can get done here you blockhead. She called me a blockhead. That was very rude. Rude indeed!" and once Richard realized that Lucy still wasn't there yet,he took a very deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs one last time "LUCY VAN PELT GET UP HERE NOW!" to which a shrill and crabby voice instantly responded "I'm right here my king!" and shorlty afterwards Lucy Van Pelt herself angrily and loudly stomped up the stairs leading into the room with a very annoyed look on her face as she wore a blue peasants outfit with a cone shaped hat and ribbon hanging from it,it was a little more old fashioned and peasantry compared to her usual outfit,but all and all it was how she usually looked.
Once she finally made it to the room so she could see what the king wanted,Richard's stern and strict scowl slowly turned back into a smile as he gleefully requested "Ah Lucy there you are. Be a dear and help Madalena prepare for our soon to be wonderful wedding." only for Lucy to roll her eyes and tightly grab Richard by the beard despite her much smaller size compared to him while she growled in response "You interrupted my beauty sleep Richy."
Richard despite being obviously frightened by the girl,he still tried to defend himself admits all this by nervously stating "You know I seriously recall asking you to not call me Richy and yet you continue to do it Lucy-" but was interrupted by a fierce and painful tug at his beard as Lucy interrupted "Cut it Richy,fine I'll help the maiden…..for 5 shillings please." before she held out a small metal can full of coins of all sorts to which Richard reluctantly obliged as he took out five silver shillings from his pocket "Ok fine,but just this once." before he dropped them into the can which got Lucy to instantly let go of his beard and develop a smug grin on her face as she thought to herself "He says that every time." all while Richard regained his posture and trudged out of the room as Lucy fiddled with the jar.
Madelena however was now staring out of the window once again as Lucy sat down the can and enthusiastically suggested when she noticed "Come on maiden,we need to get you prepared for your big day. I'm the flower girl you know." to which Madelena slowly walked down the stairs and stood in front of a mirror while she helplessly whimpered "Yeah it's my big day,but I don't love him." but Lucy however seemed to take great offense to this statement as she scoffed and retorted back "So what about love? What does love have to do with any of this? Love is not going to make you become royalty you know."
"But I don't love him,I love Galavant. I just want him to come for me and take me away from this wretched place." Madelena somberly replied on the verge of tears to which Lucy firmly asked while she got up on a stool and fixed up the maiden's hair "What does that Galavant schmuck offer that Richy doesn't? Love? Well love won't get you eternal fame and fortune,5 star meals every day and night,and the power to do anything you could possibly want. And you'd still pick love from a pretty boy knight over a position of power as a queen? Man I wish I could be a queen. Queen Lucy. I'm lucky enough to even be a servant here. At least I'm living in a castle." Lucy then started to gleefully fantasize about her own dreams of becoming a powerful queen while Madelena's eyes suddenly widened after she heard her speech,true she didn't really think about it when the king had told her about her incoming status as a Queen,but now that Lucy was really starting to hammer it in,she surprisingly responded with a slowly growing devilish smile "Now that you bring that up."
It was now wedding time and the famed knight himself Galavant was quickly riding on horseback to the castle while he effortlessly knocked out the few soldiers that stood in his way,he was wearing a typical set of knight's armor aside from it's black and brown color choice and not even sporting a helmet so he could show off his short brown hair and completely shaved beard. After he managed to get past the security at the front gates,he was soon walking down the empty hallways of the castle's church and made absolute mincemeat of the rest of the guards with his hand to hand combat and sword skills,and he was getting more and more determined by the second as he was approaching the chapel.
Galavant: By all the stars above,I'll save my one true love.
Guard #1: Hey look!
Guard #2: Oh wow it's him!
Both: It's Gala-
Two guards giddily exclaimed at the mere sight of Galavant before they were swiftly knocked out by the brave knight.
Galavant: I shall not be denied until she's by my side,I suggest you fall.
Galavant commanded a cowering guard to fall down as he instantly did what he asked and fainted on the ground to which the knight loudly showed his gratitude "Thanks!"
The wedding was now officially going underway and Lucy was the undisputed flower girl while Schroeder was providing the music on a tiny black piano as he wore a peasant's outfit like Lucy except it was black with purple stripes,and he had insisted and pleaded to be granted permission to play Beethoven of course and King Richard being the overly giving in king he was gave him his permission. Richard and Madelena were just about to be officially wed as Richard wore an extremely happy smile with his bodyguard Gareth standing behind him,but Madelena merely gave off a saddened frown while she held her fiancé's hands. Gareth was a tall,towering and most of all threatening looking man who wore a large suit of brown armor,sported no hair whatsoever on his head,and had little to no emotion in his eyes,in fact he looked downright bored.
"And so on this glorious day,we celebrate the union of our greatest king." The castle's pope happily announced to the soon to be newly weds and the rest of the chapel before being suddenly interrupted by another voice "So sorry to interrupt." to which the entire crowd as well as Lucy and Schroeder stopped what they were doing and turned around to see Galavant proudly standing at the chapel's doorway with his sword in hand as Richard got an annoyed scowl on his face while Madelena happily gasped at the sight,but Lucy however was absolutely furious at the interruption and angrily shouted at the mere sight of him "Get out of here you blockhead! You're interrupting the wedding!" only for Richard to sternly shush the girl with an arm motion before Galavant happily greeted his love "My lady."
Gareth out of pure instinct started to pull out his trusty,razor sharp sword with the intent to attack the intruder only for Galavant to try and call him off "All right,all right hold on. Now Gareth and I could surely fight all night to an even draw if that's what you want. Hell you can even send all your men to help him if you so desire. But I'll fend them ALL off,'cause here's the thing." before he surprisingly dropped his sword down on the blood red carpet of the chapel and slowly proceeded to walk forward while he heroically told the nefarious king "I love her Richard."
Lucy who was now laying on the top Schroeder's piano was now suddenly snickering at the display before her as the blonde boy raised an eyebrow at the sight and asked out of curiosity "What's so funny Lucy?" to which the girl merely requested in response "Watch this." all the while Galavant confidently continued as he continued to walk towards the "couple" "She's the first thing I think of in the morning and the last thing I think of in the eve. And you can offer her great fame,and you can offer her great fortune,but only I can offer her…...great love. And that is what she chooses."
It was at this moment that Galavant had now reached the base of the wedding altar where Richard and Madelena were and bowed graciously for his true love with confidence that she would choose him instead of Richard,but Madalena however surprisingly gave off a nervous and regretful smile as she unexpectedly intervened "Well actually." to which Galavant quickly raised his head up out of sheer confusion of what was going on while she frantically continued "I don't know. I've been thinking a lot about it ever since he kidnapped me and ever since he and Lucy clarified things to me….I'm gonna go with the fame and fortune. Seems like an easier life you know?"
"Yes." Richard gleefully whispered to himself in triumph that Madalena was ditching Galavant to be with him while Lucy whispered to Schroeder with a smug smirk on her mug "You'd have to be a complete nutcase to choose love over fame and fortune. With an exception though-"
"Not gonna happen Lucy." Schroeder sternly interrupted the girl's attempt to try and hit on him as she gave off a pouty face and diverted her attention back to the wedding alter,where in a full on swoop Galavant's heart was completely shattered into tiny,little bite size pieces,the woman and more importantly love of his life was going to marry his sworn enemy,to pick fame and fortune over his undying love.
"Oh I'm really sorry Gal,I hope we can still be friends." Madelena meekly apologized for her blatant betrayal when she saw just how heartbroken Galavant looked in his eyes,but alas he was far too shocked and heartbroken to realize that Gareth had since walked up to him and delivered a swift and hard punch to the gut as he fell over in defeat. Richard,Lucy and even Madalena smiled at the heartbreaking display as the man happily asked his wife "Hold that thought darling." before he slowly walked over to the defeated knight and bid him farewell in a deep and quiet voice "Good night,sweet prince." followed by him he lightly tapping his foot on Galavant's face,obviously not knocking him out.
"Oh damn it Gareth would you just do that for me please?" Richard frustratingly commanded when his attempt to knock out Galavant didn't work to which the body guard looked down at the broken down hero and devilishly bid him farewell "Night-night." before he knocked him clean out with a boot kick to the face.
ONE YEAR LATER
It was quite a fairly beautiful morning in a seemingly average village far,far away as the lovable blockhead himself Charlie Brown slowly woke up in his hut unexpectedly happy,cheerful and yet somewhat nervous at the same time,he rubbed his eyes and quietly yawned out of mid-morning exhaustion before he stared out of his bedside window and looked at the slowly rising sun over the nearby hills while he calmly thought to himself "Today's the big day for you Charles. Don't mess it up." for today was obviously something big and important for the boy as those emotions of his got seemingly more prominent by the minute.
Once the boy had gotten up and promptly cleaned himself up for the day,he slowly walked outside his hut to see that his sister Sally was already fawning over Linus,who was busy tending to his front yard garden across the street with his blue baby blanket of course as Charlie Brown rolled his eyes and meekly thought to himself out of disbelief while he headed to the backyard with a purple bowl of dog food in hand to obviously feed Snoopy "You're doing this already Sally?" and of course he was quietly laying on the top of his same old red doghouse,with his little bird friend Woodstock laying on top of his belly too.
"Snoopy? Snoopy?" Charlie Brown politely called out to the sleeping animals to which the dog as well as the bird slowly but surely woke up and yawned while Woodstock fluttered around due to his sub-par flying skills,and after Snoopy stretched out his arms and let out a loud yawn,he slowly turned around to see a bowl of dog food in his owner's hand and immediately took it away to eat while his owner continued in a more serious tone of voice "Now today is very important. Pretty soon Sid will be picking the three of us up,and I need you two to be on your very best behavior for Sir Galavant. Got it?" to which Snoopy and Woodstock both stood up tall and did an army like salute while Charlie Brown rolled his eyes and whispered to himself "I just hope they don't embarrass me in front of him. Hmph they probably might anyway."
Afterwards Charlie Brown left the backyard and slowly headed towards Linus,who was still being accompanied by Sally and they were all wearing typical peasant uniforms that had similar looking coloring to their normal selves,so Charlie Brown still sported the typical yellow shirt and black zigzag along his stomach. The boy slowly walked up to Linus who was "busy" with his blue blanket and happily greeted him "Good morning Linus. How are you doing this fine morning?" to which Linus lifted his head up and calmly asked when he noticed how unusually happy Charlie Brown seemed to be "I'm doing alright Charlie Brown,I have to say you are in a fairly good mood today. What's the deal with you?"
"Today's my first day as an assistant squire for Sir Galavant along with Sid,Snoopy,and Woodstock." Charlie Brown ecstatically explained the reasoning for how happy he was as Linus replied with slight disbelief "It's truly a sight to behold. You guys all being hand picked by Sir Galavant himself,regardless of all those years you've gone on about being a wishy washy failure,it seems like the lord is finally throwing you a bone here." only for Charlie Brown to suddenly grow a little more nervous while he politely corrected the boy "Well not exactly hand picked Linus,Sid was the one looking for squires. I haven't even met Galavant because I never thought he'd see anything in me. I mean what if he see's me as just a failure and not even enough to be cut out to be a squire?"
However before Linus could even try and give Charlie Brown some words of wisdom or advice,Sally decided to give her two cents on the opportunity and cynically remarked "If I had my way,I'd make you his son so it'd just be me and my sweet baboo." to which Linus sternly retorted in response "If it was just me and you,I'd probably move away." before two other voices suddenly joined in on their conversation as the first one cheerfully remarked "You know Chuck,this is your big shining moment in the sun. You get over there and show Gal that you are a worthy squire." before the second voice also congratulated although a little more calm and mellow "I knew you would get into the higher ranks eventually Charles,right Sir?" to which the first voice sternly retorted afterwards "I always knew he'd get into the high ranks,and stop calling me sir."
These voices belonged to none other than Peppermint Patty and Marcie as they both walked over to their friend before the former gave Charlie Brown a noogie,and once she finished her assault on the boy's head she patted him on the back and happily stated in the hopes of getting him excited "Just think about it Chuck,pretty soon you'll be going on grand adventures with one of the world's most respected knights. You should be ecstatic right about now. You may not be good at ball or any other sport,but I defiantly know you can be a great knight ."
"I don't think Charles will be doing anything of that caliber sir. Every since Mada-" Marcie rolled her eyes and tried to rationally disagree with Patty's predictions on what Charlie Brown would be doing with Galavant before she was swiftly interrupted by the boy quickly placing his hand over her mouth while he frantically whispered "Marcie,we're not supposed to talk about that remember?" and afterwards Marcie quickly remembered the only major rule about their village and meekly apologized as a result "Oh yes,sorry Charles. It's just that it's such an interesting and tragic story,that I forget to not talk about it when Sir Galavant could be around."
The group then stood in mostly awkward silence after that little incident until Charlie Brown suddenly spotted the slowly arriving horse of Sid's as did the others before they started to give encouraging words of wisdom while the round headed kid called for Snoopy and Woodstock,and when the two animals finally did arrive from the backyard however,Charlie Brown was absolutely mortified to see that both of them were wearing overly decorated knights armor that completely covered them from head to toe,and they also sported a tiny sword and tiny shield that caused his owner's jaw to drop as he exclaimed "Snoopy you two can't wear those ridiculous outfits. You're going to have to leave them behind." but Snoopy however merely rolled his eyes and quietly whispered something to Woodstock for a moment before they instead threw away their weapons while still wearing their glistening silver armor to which Charlie Brown asked out loud for almost the entire village to hear "Why can't I have a normal dog like everyone else?"
Sid soon arrived at the Brown's residence shortly aferwards in an overall great mood that was pretty much common for him as he sported a brown vest on top of a green button up shirt,black curly hair and a brown spotted horse,but what was strange though was that he was apparently not alone,for there was also another person with him as well and she certainly looked more...foreign with an exotic looking velvet dress and a snow white horse. The others all gasped at the site of the woman and Snoopy even wolf whistled at her phenomenal beauty and graceful appearance,but there was no time for gawking as Sid cheerfully greeted the children "Good morning children,would you mind telling me where that Charlie boy and his animal companions are? They're going to be late for their first day with Sir Galavant." and Charlie Brown was so excited at the reminder that he nervously stammered to the man "R-r-r-right here sir." to which Sid looked down at the kid and got off his horse to greet him with a handshake while he happily stated "So Mr Brown,despite your younger age compared to most squires,I am confident that you will do a excellent job assisting Sir Galavant."
"It's a p-p-pleasure to meet you Sidney. I-I mean we've met before when you hand picked me,my dog,and his friend to b-b-be squires but not like this I mean." Charlie Brown respectfully greeted the man back with an uncontrollable stutter and Sid could easily see right through his nervousness as he chuckled and tried to calm him down "I see that you're nervous. It's alright to be nervous,why when Sir Galavant picked me to be his squire,I nearly had a heart attack." which caused a light chuckle to come from the group except for the fair maiden who seemed to be getting increasingly impatient since she made an obvious grunting sound to get their attention to which Sid urgently remembered "Oh my goodness gracious,we must immediately get the princess to Sir Galavant."
"The Princess?!" The entire group of kids exclaimed out loud in utter shock and confusion before Sid frantically clarified things as he got back up on his horse "Oh yes,the princess here has an incredible proposition for Sir Galavant and we must get her to him immediately. Come on you three,there's no time to waste." to which Charlie Brown,Snoopy and Woodstock all got up on Sid's horse and proceeded to head off to Galavant's place of residence,and Charlie Brown was having all sorts of panicked thoughts enter his mind while he heard his friends call out encouraging words before they eventually couldn't be heard anymore.
"A princess,will I be going on a journey with a princess? What could this be? Why did a wishy washy guy like me get this job?!" The boy nervously whispered to himself as he stared at the princess that was riding behind him who didn't even have a single word to say,and only a look of desperation and determination on her face.
The ride to Galavant's place of residence was mostly filled with silence aside from the almost non stop laughter that erupted from Snoopy and Woodstock as they were reading a book they brought with a painted bunny on the front cover. Only Charlie Brown could know that they were reading a book about rabbits,and since no one could understand bird or dog or rabbit,it was all just gibberish and very annoying to them.
After about five minutes of dealing with this,the princess groaned out of annoyance and angrily asked the boy "Good god do those ingrates of yours ever shut up? I'm starting to remember why I don't like dogs." Charlie Brown however didn't answer her question and merely said to himself "Good grief,not even at Sir Galavant's yet and they're already embarrassing me." before he brushed off the embarrassment and felt the need to ask Sid something admits all the comedy gold "Uh Sidney?"
"Yes Charles?" Sid cheerfully responded like he usually and typically would as Charlie Brown asked more out of curiosity "Why did you pick me to be a squire? I mean I'm just a wishy-washy guy who can't even kick a kickball. I don't think I'll even last one day on the job the more I think about it. Do you think I'll ever be a good squire in Sir Galavant's eyes?"
It took a minuet for Sid to respond as he was clearly thinking long and hard about Charlie Brown's question,but when he finally did he sympathetically replied "You see Charlie Brown,when Sir Galavant first picked me to be his squire,I was also a complete and utter failure just like you claim yourself to be. I couldn't do anything right for the life of me,I was always getting into trouble at college,I couldn't kick a ball too,and I was just as shocked as you were to find out that I was being picked. But it was that constant motivation to get better and better as a squire and a person,that I eventually did get better and better. So I think if you try to get better and better and always have that determination in mind,you will too. Just like I did."
Charlie Brown sat there for a moment in awe that Sid was just like him at one point and was about to give him his thanks,but the sound of Sid pulling his horse over and excitingly saying "We're here everyone!" interrupted him. The princess gave a deep sigh of relief,Snoopy and Woodstock put away their book about rabbits and bunnies,and Charlie Brown started to shake and sweat with excitement and nervousness. However before they even got off their horses to head on inside,Sid kindly halted them and suggested "Hold on a second,I need to introduce you guys properly to the master himself. Just be waiting by the front door and wait for my cue." and they did just that.
Sid got off his horse and quickly jogged up to the front door before he happily barged through it and exclaimed "Good Morning….Sir." but he slowed down however when he saw that Galavant himself was laying in his bed with a completely empty wine bottle in his hand as he groaned in pain. He was obviously going through a hang over of some sort but that didn't stop Sid from getting him up anyway as he sarcastically remarked while he pulled the wine bottle out of his hand "I see we're getting an early start this morning." to which Galavant slowly mumbled under his own morning breath as he slowly rose up from his bed "Oh,what do you want Sid?"
"Sir,when you hired me to be your squire it was the most exciting thing to ever happen to me. Best squireship in the land my parents,completely plotzed. But ever since Madalena-" Sid enthusiastically stated before Galavant sternly interrupted his reminder of Madalena dumping him "Don't say her name." to which Sid brushed it aside and ecstatically continued "So anyways there's a lovely group of people here to see you. One of them brings with her an opportunity and I would beg you to meet with her-"
"Sid I'm not seeing anyone." Galavant sternly interrupted once again and insisted that he wasn't gonna see anyone today,but Sid kept on going anyway as he proudly introduced Galavant's new squires "I present to you,your new squires. Charlie Brown,his fighting dog Snoopy and his little birdie friend Woodstock." Almost as if it was on cue,Charlie Brown and his three companions slowly walked into the hut with the former showing unfathomable nervousness as sweat and literally steam was pouring from his shirt. Snoopy and Woodstock however showed only respect for the knight as they did a graceful bow in front of him while Charlie Brown merely stammered "H-he-hello Sir Galavant. It's an absolute honor to meet you,I look forward to being your squire. Is there anything in particular you need me to do?"
Galavant instantly threw over another empty wine bottle and commanded while Charlie Brown caught it "Well the very first thing you can do is fetch me a bottle of wine." as the boy proceeded to do so while Galavant took a look at Snoopy and Woodstock.
"I've never thought in all my years that a dog and a bird would be two of my squires." Galavant remarked in awe of his two new squires being animals as he signaled the duo to come over to him with a hand motion and he proceeded to examine them thoroughly as they took off their armor.
"Hmm,strong smooth fur,decent height,not too fat,not too skinny,beagle and canary by the looks of things. That Charlie Brown boy has been doing an excellent job of taking care of you too. You three will all be viable assistants to me. Well done Sidney." Galavant complimented the three of them over burps and drunken slurring while Charlie Brown overhearing the compliment thought to himself with an excited smile "So far so good Charles. Keep this up."
Charlie Brown soon arrived back quickly and handed Galavant a completely refilled bottle of wine to which the knight thanked him accordingly"Why thank you Barney Clown." to which the boy being a little embarrassed by that mispronunciation name politely corrected him "Uh,it's Charlie Brown sir."
"Eh I'll just call you Chuck. Do you wanna be called Chuck?" Galavant asked in a woozy tone of voice to which Charlie Brown nervously chuckled and obliged "Anything that makes it easier for you sir." before Sid decided to go ahead and introduce the princess as he announced while she entered the hut "Well now that we're more acquainted with each other,it is my pleasure to introduce to you: Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta-
"Elizabeeta." suddenly corrected the princess in a rather monotone voice to which Sid promptly corrected himself "Elizabetta Of Valencia."
"Well that's a mouthful." Galavant jokingly remarked as he started to chug down his wine while Sid left the hut and Charlie Brown's group decided to stay,afterwards Isabella then stood up tall,inhaled sharply and greeted the knight with a bow "Sir Galavant,I have traveled long and far to seek your favor." which cause Galavant to get a slightly curious look on his face while Charlie Brown,Snoopy and Woodstock watched with a but of intrigue as well.
"Four months ago my peaceful kingdom of Valencia—I'm sorry what is that smell?" Isabella tried to continue but was quickly turned off by the rancid smell of Galavant's hut as he smugly answered while he got up and sat down at a nearby table "That would be me." to which the others followed him as the princess continued "Four months ago my peaceful kingdom of Valencia fell under attack from a rival land. My people were taken captive,my entire family either killed or imprisoned."
Charlie Brown quietly gasped out of shock at the news while Galavant merely sarcastically sympathized with the princess "Oh that's just terrible,that's just terrible. Still you've got a nice way about you. I'm sure you'll land on your feet,nice meeting you,doors on the wall." before he took a bite of an apple slice while Snoopy told Woodstock through his thoughts "For a supposedly fantastic knight,he doesn't seem to care about this girl's problem."
Isabella was now starting to get very annoyed at Galavant's lack of interest and unprofessional attitude and continued more sternly "Before being captured,my father hid me in the cellar and handed me the priceless jewel of Valencia. I hid in that cellar for months as my family was slaughtered above me. I now offer you this priceless jewel,all that my country has left to offer." and she pulled out a bright green jewel from her bag and gave it to Galavant to inspect. Snoopy and Woodstock's eyes instantly turned to giant dollar signs at the sight of the jewel while Charlie Brown's jaw dropped and his eyes widened as well,this was a truly priceless jewel that not even the finest miners could find.
"I throw myself at your mercy Sir Galavant. Please…...save my people." Isabella frantically pleaded for Galavant's help and assistance only for him to sigh and smugly apologize "Sorry I got distracted. What did you say after I said "Nice meeting you,doors on the wall?" before he sluggishly stood up from the table and continued to do his own thing while Charlie Brown watched in awe of his behavior. Snoopy however decided to slowly crawl under the table and try to grab the jewel for himself,but Isabella quickly saw him and smashed his paw with her fist and grabbed the jewel before she followed after the knight,all while Charlie Brown didn't even know what to say in this kind of situation.
"You're no hero. Who are you?" Isabella asked out of confusion and bewilderment only for Galavant to sulkingly answer "Oh I'm nobody princess."
Isabella: Where is the gallant knight,who stood for truth and right? The valiant dragon-slayer Galavant?
Where is his steely gaze? The abs the poets praise? Whatever happened to that Galavant?
Isabella picked up Galavant's sword that he left lying on the floor as an attempt to remind him of who he truly was and also showed him Snoopy in his knight armor he had put back on as well,but to no avail.
Galavant: The man you're searching for,lost all he loved and more,his hope,his pride all sense of Galavant.
Add to that losing streak,a couple kegs a week,plus 20 pounds ta-da.
Isabella: No!
Galavant: Yep.
Isabella: But you're
Galavant: *Burp.*
Isabella: Still you have to-
Galavant: No I don't.
Isabella: But-
Galavant: See ya!
Isabella: Wait how will I-
Galavant: No idea.
Isabella: Please.
Galavant: No.
Isabella: I'm begging on my knees.
Galavant: Bye-bye.
Isabella: I'll pay whatever fee.
Galavant: You're still here.
Isabella: We're lost without you Gala-
Galavant however cut her off and pushed Isabella right out the door and slammed it shut while Snoopy and Woodstock chuckled at the almost comedic display,all while Charlie Brown stood there in absolute silence and shock as Galavant muttered in relief "Glad she's gone."
Isabella stormed right out of the yard in defeat and anger where Sid was doing some yard work as she furiously exclaimed "That man is an animal!" to which Sid shouted in an attempt to calm her down "Wait Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elisabee...princess?"
Meanwhile back in the hut,Charlie Brown didn't know what to say or what to do since Galavant just went back to bed,leaving him with nothing else to do. He did though try to talk a little bit of sense into the knight as he timidly asked while Snoopy did over the top poses in his armor which included messing around with Galavant's own sword and shield,while none of the other two seemed to care "Sir Galavant? I know it's probably not my place to talk about this,but don't you think you were a tad little harsh on her? I mean she just lost her kingdom and I don't think anyone else is more qualified than you to save her people."
Galavant however sat up from his bed and regretfully and more respectfully told the kid "Look Chuck,I appreciate your enthusiasm and admiration,but I am just not cut out for that kind of work anymore. The love of my life betrayed me a year ago because of my heroism,and I do not want to go through that again. Do you understand?"
Charlie Brown merely nodded his head reluctantly and apologized "Sorry Sir,I...understand how you feel." as he remembered a certain little red haired girl that moved away a few years back.
TWO MONTHS EARLIER
Isabella was locked down in the cellar just like she told in her story and she quietly pressed her ear up to the door so she could hear the commotion that was going on above. Above in the throne room was none other than King Richard,Madelena,Gareth,and the king's jester doing his traditional stand up for the king and queen. Lucy and Schroeder were also present with the latter playing a quiet tune on his tiny piano while Lucy leaned against it.
"Banana."
"Banana who?" Richard asked the jester in a very bored tone of voice to which he enthusiastically replied "Orange."
"Orange who?"
"Orange you glad I didn't say banana again?" The jester jokingly replied with his punchline to which Madelena laughed at the clearly unfunny joke while the jester did a comedic little dance.
"Another wonderful routine Jester." Madalena gleefully complimented the jester's stand up routine while Lucy chuckled and added "I'll give him this,he's a lot better than some of the guys back home."
"I'm not seeing it you guys." Richard on the other hand kindly disagreed with the queen and Lucy's sense of humor as Schroeder couldn't help but agree as well "I agree,his humor is often very predictable and recycles lots of elements of his other jokes."
"Perhaps his humor flies over both your heads then." Madalena smugly replied and suggested to which Lucy agreed while she played with her braidy hair "Well at least some people appreciate good humor and natural beauty around here."
Richard however turned towards Gareth and bafflingly whispered into his ear "Honestly Gareth I don't know what they see in him." before Gareth took a long hard look at the jester kissing his staff that contained a puppet baby's head on it and nonchalantly agreed "No idea my king."
"Well I will go and compliment the jester. And while I do husband,perhaps you can make some progress convincing the king and queen of Valencia to tell you where their jewel is hidden." Madalena happily suggested as she got up from her throne before Richard complained in a whiny tone of voice voice "I've tried everything."
"Mm-Hmm. Galavant would not stand for this." Madalena quietly muttered to herself but just loud enough for everyone to hear as Schroeder instantly stopped playing his music while Richard got up and angrily growled "What did you just say?"
"I said Galavant! Would! Not! Have! Stood! For! This!" Madalena shouted back at her husband as everyone was now on the very edge in the throne room while Schroeder nervously whispered to Lucy "They're not even our parents and I hate seeing them fight like this. You know I do kinda wonder how Linus is doing since you haven't seen each other at all since the king kidnapped us for our labor and assistance."
"I do have to admit,I miss taking that blanket away from him,and I do miss the kick the ball prank on that blockhead Charlie Brown. You know I should try that on the king once."
"I think that'd be highly dangerous Lucy." Schroeder kindly disagreed with her little idea as Lucy rolled her eyes continued "Well anyway,I miss some of the things back home granted,but I certainly don't miss that stupid beagle of Charlie Brown's,and I especially don't miss going to school." before Richard finally snapped out of his daze and calmly spoke up to his wife "See that's what I thought you said I just wanted clarification thank you."
Schroeder face palmed in awe of Richard's overly calm reply as the latter slowly sat back down on the throne before Madalana asked in a very sweet tone of voice "Find me the jewel,would you dear?"
"Of course darling." Richard sweetly replied as well before Madalena slowly walked towards the jester and quietly requested "Jester um...join me in my chamber would you? I'd love to learn a little more about how you uh...craft a joke." all while she gave a quick glance towards his rear. She was not so subtly implying what she really meant by that as the jester smiled and softly gasped "Ooh!" before he gleefully followed,with Richard obviously not catching on.
"She really gets a kick out of that damn jester. I don't know maybe it is all going over my head." Richard wondered and admitted to himself before Gareth respectfully added "Oh it's definitely going over your head sir."
"No doubt Richy." Lucy added in agreement while Schroeder on the other hand argued "It's probably me but I don't see how anyone can find his brand of humor funny." before Richard kindly asked "Schroeder,would you be so kind as to play a song that's not from Beethoven? I like the man myself but I cannot listen to another one of his pieces for a while,spruce it up a bit man."
"That's what I'm saying Richy." Lucy enthusiastically agreed as Schroeder rolled his eyes and reluctantly played some of Mozart's music which temporarily satisfied the king but not before he sternly commanded Lucy "Stop calling me "Richy" Lucy. Jezzs Louis it's like talking to a parrot that just goes against everything you say instead of repeating what you say."
However their peaceful quiet time of listening to Schroeder's calming music was suddenly interrupted by the loud clanging of metal as the castle's chef came in with a plate full of chicken and other various foods before he presented it to the king.
"A midday snack my king?" The chef asked in his high pitched and nerdy sounding voice only for Richard to suddenly command in a deep voice "Come up here." to which the chef's eyes widened at the mention as he nervously walked up to the throne while Lucy and Schroeder were watching in curiosity,for they were expecting an execution due to the king's tone of voice as Schroeder rolled his eyes and moaned "Oh great,another execution."
However that actually wouldn't be the case at all as the king merely asked out of curiosity "What happened to the other chef? Looked just like you but…...older….more wrinkly."
"My father?"
"Right. What happened to him?" Richard asked due to curiosity and confusion since he didn't seem to remember the previous chef before him to which the current chef respectfully reminded him "You had him killed sir." which caused the king to mumble in shock "Hmm?" before the chef clarified "Your mutton was too rare."
Richard was frankly shocked by this sudden revelation and accusation as Lucy smugly added "Yeah and you also had the one before him killed for spilling juice on your fancy pants."
"Well that certainly doesn't sound like me." Richard denied in sheer disbelief only for the chef to debunk his claim and continue "Oh Lucy's right sir,you DID indeed have his father before him killed. Your family has killed the last four generations of chefs in my family. It's not a great job my king."
"I'm such a bully." Richard whimpered when he realized what an absolute brute he was as Lucy mockingly added "And a blockhead too." to which Schroeder added even further "And you don't appreciate the finest of all music either." before Richard surprisingly agreed with the former "You know for once I actually agree with you associating my head with that of a block. I'm under a terrible amount of pressure though you have to understand that."
"Oh it's fine my king,don't worry about it." The chef sympathetically replied before Lucy sarcastically added "Yeah sure thing my king. You go and do what you do." to which the king pitifully whined "Oh everyone I try so hard to please her. I invade a kingdom for a jewel. I respect her vow of chastity and yet everyday I have to hear it over and over again.
Richard: Galavant,Galavant,blah blah blah blah Galavant.
I want her,need her,crave her,yes it's true,but she is not the only thing I desperately want to do.
I want to shoot him with a crossbow,I want to stab him in the eye.
I want to liberate his head from his neck and then punt the bloody wreck sky high.
I want to hurl him out a window,and shove explosives where the sun don't shine.
Want to skewer him with swords them slowly twist them all around his reproductive system won't that be divine?
Then she'll be mine.
"EVERYBODY SING!"
Everyone in the throne room then did what Gareth told them including Lucy and Schroeder as they all followed Richard's movement.
Servants And Guards: Ahhh! And then you'll do it every evening.
Richard: Sweet god at last!
Servants And Guards: In every room on every floor.
Richard: Till I can't do it anymore.
Gareth: And with no Galavant distracting your bride-
Richard: We could start a genocidal war.
Servants And Guards: Yay we're gonna go to-
Random Man: Wait what?
Richard: I'll get back to all my hobbies,like raising taxes and tormenting the poor.
Servants And Guards: (Crush those poor.)
Richard: No more "Galavant is just complete perfection! Gal would never lose his...temper."
Won't that be divine?
Servants And Guards: (Ahh!)
Richard: And she'll be mine!
Servants And Guards: (La la la la!)
Richard: Just mine,all mine!
Servants And Guards: (La la la la!)
Richard: Mine all mine all mine!
"Well that was ripping!" Richard ecstatically remarked as he sat back down on the throne before he glanced over to Lucy and Schroeder holding each other as they held a dance pose to which he happily asked "Oh,do I see two love birds mating do I?"
Once Schroeder realized what he was doing,his eyes widened as he dropped Lucy straight to the ground and nervously remarked "That song and dance meant nothing Lucy." only for the girl to not say anything at all as she just lay on the ground love struck despite Schroeder's insistence.
"This is all very exciting my king,but Galavant still lives. And he is still the greatest warrior in five kingdoms." Gareth broke this bad news to Richard to which the king determinedly/angrily announced "Fine. If I can't win her love,I'll buy it. Bring me the king and queen of Valencia. I'll find you that stupid jewel."
Richard then got out of his throne and proceeded to head for the dungeon until he suddenly stopped and came to an unwarranted realization and asked "Orange you glad I didn't say "Banana" again?"
"Not funny at all sir." Gareth insisted to which Richard gleefully snapped his fingers in a "gotcha" manner.
BACK TO PRESENT DAY
Back at a tavern in the village literally called "Ye Horses Ass" Isabella was sitting down at a table fiddling with the jewel when she suddenly heard the voice of Galavant call out "Tommy! Tommy! There appears to be a rather large hole in my bucket and I would like you to fix it."
Galavant was sitting at the bar with Sid,Charlie Brown,Snoopy and Woodstock and Gal seemed to be empty on grog,and all Charlie Brown and his crew had was some root beer due to their young age as the tavern owner came up to Gal and denied him more grog "Sorry Gal,I'm gonna have to cut you off."
"Tommy come on,it's me. It's Gal." The former knight tried to convince the owner to give him more only to be denied once again as Tommy declined "Gal,come on you're embarrassing yourself." to which the knight muttered in a drunken slur "I'm embarrassing yourself."
Snoopy then turned around on one of the chairs to see that Isabella was in the back corner of the tavern as he raised an eyebrow and tugged on Galavant's shirt to get his attention.
"What is it dog?" asked Galavant as he turned around to see that Isabella was fiddling with the bright green jewel,he stared at her intently for a moment before he suddenly fell out of his chair with a loud thud thanks to his drunken state. Charlie Brown and Sid helped him get up while Snoopy and Woodstock snickered at the display.
Once he was feeling better and regained his posture,he alone walked over to her and kindly offered her a drink in an attempt to cheer her up "Can I buy you a drink?"
"No." Isabella coldly declined only for Galavant to sit down at the table and retort "Good then you can buy me one. Now where were we? Two months ago you were imprisoned in a cellar. Then what happened?"
TWO MONTHS EARLIER AGAIN
Isabella silently creaked the cellar open to see that Richard was busy negotiating with her parents. It appeared that it was just him and Gareth in the throne room whereas Lucy and Schroeder were on break.
"Ah,here we are. Regular spots please. Thank you very much. I believe you know where to stand. Now let me ask you one question,I've tried to be kind to you. Have I not?" Richard asked in an attempt to kindly persuade them to hand him the jewel to which the king of Valencia replied in awe that Richard thought he was being kind "You pillaged our peaceful kingdom,killed half our army."
"But I haven't killed you. I mean think about it. I've killed a massive amount of people this week,but I haven't kill-" Richard stated before a nasty sound from his throat suddenly interrupted his negotiation as he kindly requested in pain "Gareth,I have a horribly scratchy throat. A bit of tea please."
"Tea for the king!" Gareth loudly commanded as the chef ran off to collect said tea while Richard nervously remarked "I've been fighting a bug since the invasion. I swear it's the plague."
"It's not the plague." Gareth insisted that Richard was mostly fine and not suffering from the plague only for the king to ask him to check his throat "Feel that though,does that feel lumpy?" to which Gareth coldly refused "No."
"You didn't even feel it." Richard stated in awe that Gareth didn't even check his throat before their conversation was suddenly interupted by the queen of Valencia pleading "We beg you to show mercy to our people good King Richard."
Richard however merely chuckled and refused "We've done this. Look here's the thing,my wife really wants that jewel of yours. Now I know at times she can come off as a bit,um...what's the word-"
"Evil."
"Cruel." The king and queen both guessed what Richard was trying to say back to back only for the king to kindly deny "No that's not it. If you're talking about Lucy than that's a bullseye but for Madelena,its more..."
"Sadistic."
"Vicious." The two former rulers of Valencia guessed once again to which Richard kindly tried to instead defend his wife "You know I think you really just have to get to know her-"
"She can be a bitch." Gareth nonchalantly interrupted Richard's babbling to which the man sternly requested "Would you stop it Gareth?!" as the brute of a bodyguard obliged "All right." before Richard went back to his negotiating "How's about this? You tell me where the jewel is,we'll pack up shop. We'll stop the pillaging and the killing yada yada,everyone's happy."
"The jewel of Valencia is priceless." The king made it very clear that they would not give up the jewel only for Richard to merely try and show sympathy and understanding "I know. I know." before the king of Valencia continued "It is a symbol of Valencia,it has belonged not to us but to our people for thousands of years."
"Totally understand. Totally emphasize. Can I have it?"
"Never!" The king sternly declined and refused to give him the jewel as Richard gave off an annoyed sigh and angrily whined "This is so not how I wanted to do this! It is about to get very messy in here- oh my tea! Thank you very much."
Richard had suddenly stopped his threats of death towards the king and queen of Valencia when he saw that his tea had arrived as he slowly took a sip of it and asked the chef out of curiosity "Is there lemon in there?"
The chef suddenly got a very nervous look on his face and honestly replied with a shaky voice "Yes my king? Some unsqueezed lemons." to which Richard thankfully complimented the chef with a smile "Well it's delightful. Just delightful." before the chef gave off a quiet sigh of relief while Richard politely commanded the guards "Kill the king,make her watch."
Immediately Isabella shouted "No!" from below the cellars in a desperate panic which ended up giving away her location as everyone in the throne room turned their heads to face her.
BACK TO PRESENT DAY AGAIN
Isabella's story seemed to be over as Galavant was busy munching on some chicken as the princess was disgusted by his pig like eating. Snoopy was given the left over bones and Woodstock was having some bird seed that Charlie Brown brought for him. Despite Woodstock not technically counting as one of his pets,he spent so much time with Snoopy that Charlie Brown felt it necessary to start providing for him.
"Sid or Chuck,fetch me a drink." Galavant requested as Charlie Brown was about to get up and get it before Sid suddenly offered to do it for him "Leave it to me Chuck,when he tells me to fetch things those are some of my favorite moments." before he ran off to get it
"Thanks again for the drink by the way." Galavant thanked Isabella for buying them the drinks and the food as she kindly corrected him "Drinks." to which the knight replied "Right,thanks again."
Charlie Brown after hearing Isabella's incredible story remarked in awe "That was quite a story princess. I don't think I could ever imagine going through something like that." to which the princess replied quite awestruck herself "I think so too Charlie Brown,I don't know how I even managed to get out of there alive. But anyways,my father used to tell stories of you Sir Galavant. Of your skill in battle. Your heroism,of your goodness." before Galavant spat out a big piece of pat to Isabella's disgust as she asked "What happened to you? Oh come on,I've come a long way,surely I deserve some king of backstory."
Galavant sighed and ultimately caved in to tell her his story as Snoopy raised his ears flew closer to him,and Charlie Brown scooted his chair closer before the knight stated "Alright. My parents were people of massive massive appetites. They loved everything. They loved food,drink,but most of all they loved each other. Ironically they also hated each other. And they fought violently every day. Didn't have time for much else in fact. So...at the age of 8,I swore off love. Devoted myself to doing something better with my life than wasting it on love. So I read,I trained,I learned languages. All the time other young men spent chasing girls,I spent that time bettering myself. But I come from a long family of lovers,you can't fight off genetics. So when it inevitably happened...when I fell-"
"You fell hard."
"I fell hard."
"And her?"
"She fell softer...as it turns out." Galavant finally seemed to have finished his story as Snoopy was silently crying while Charlie Brown patted Galavant on the back as a method of comfort to which he thanked him promptly "Thanks Chuck. Look I'd love to help really I would but I'm...I'm sort of out of the whole "damsel in distress" business at the moment so..."
Galavant clearly started to sound more sincere than before and apologized greatly for not being able to help out the princess,but Isabella wasn't through yet and persisted "I listened from below as he ordered my parents to their death. And after coming all this way your advice is for me to just turn a blind eye and watch King Richard destroy my kingdom and everyone I've ever loved?"
It was right then and there that Galavant got a very stern and determined look on his face as Charlie Brown's jaw dropped at the revelation and even Snoopy asked Woodstock through his thoughts "Wait,is she talking about THAT King Richard? The same King Richard that took Lucy and Schroeder?!"
Woodstock quietly chirped a response as Snoopy replied with intrigue "Oh man things just got interesting indeed." Galavant started to lean in closer and closer to Isabella as she nervously asked "What?" to which Galavant quietly asked back "Did you just say..."King Richard"?"
TWO MONTHS EARLIER...AGAIN
Isabella was pulled straight out of the cellar and was reunited with her parents under the curious eye of King Richard. It only took about 5 seconds for Gareth to find the pouch that contained the jewel of Valencia as he smugly told Richard "Maybe this is what we're looking for." before he tossed the pouch to Richard and just like he was hoping,he had the jewel right in the palm of his hand as he happily remarked "Ohhh,so sparkly."
"Any luck on the jewel Richard?" The voice of Madelena suddenly and abruptly asked as she walked into the throne room to which he smugly replied "Well actually my dear-" before being rudely interupted by her "I know,I know you're working on it. Well why don't you stop working on it,start acting like Galavant and do something already?"
Richard started to shake in a mixture of fear and frustration as he meekly replied "Will do my queen." bedore Madalena stormed out of the throne room,leaving Richard furious that he couldn't tell her that he actually had the jewel. And to make things even worse,Lucy had just then arrived back from her break and smugly told the king "Well she's right you know,if Gally was in charge or better yet...me,the jewel would already be in my possession. You're loosing what little touch you had to begin with Richy." before Richard angrily exclaimed "I swear to god Lucy,if you weren't a young kid I would have put you on the chopping block a long time ago." to which Lucy developed a cocky smile and skipped happily through the castle.
"I also swear if I have to hear the name Galavant one more time. If only there was some way I could-" Richard ranted but stopped admits his rambling when he saw the fearful Isabella and got a brilliant idea as he asked Gareth "Ah,she's a pretty young thing isn't she Gareth?"
"A bit plump for my liking." Gareth polietly disagreed with Richard's affection for Isabella as the king retorted in confusion "Plump? The girl is 100 pounds soaking wet." to which Gareth clarified more specifically "I know but I like skinny. Like really unhealthy skinny."
Richard then ignored Gareth's quite frankly interesting preferences in women and continued his discussion with Isabella "You love your parents don't you my dear?" to which the princess fiercely retorted "Leave my parents be. Leave them be or so help I will kill you myself."
"And spunky-"
"Hah! More like chunky" Gareth rudely laughed and interutped Richard's observation as the king angrily shouted "Just stop it Gareth! I am trying to do something here!"
"Fine." Gareth respectfully obliged as Richard stomped back and sat down on his throne and announced his plan to the fearful yet brave Isabella "If we can't beat Galavant on his own turf,we'll bring him to our own. If you want your parents to live,you will travel to find Galavant. You tell him that I,King Richard have invaded your kingdom. Offer to pay him with the jewel,when that doesn't work I want you to tell him this...I feel like you should be writing this down." but suddenly stopped midway to which Isabella assured him "I will remember it."
"It's a bit long. I'd really be more comfortable if you wrote it down." Richard insisted that Isabella wrote down what he was telling her as the princess reassured him she will remember it "I will remember it."
"Like a steel trap." Her father added while her mother added even further "Always had a wonderful memory this one." before Richard reluctantly continued "Fine. You tell him that King Richard is a-"
BACK TO PRESENT
"Cruel and vicious man. Four months I hid in that cellar,he and his queen slept right above me."
BACK TO FLASHBACK
"And you tell him that every night,you would listen while-"
BACK TO PRESENT
"He screamed at his queen,screamed at his queen and each night I would be left with only the sobs of that poor woman. Every night,she would cry out "I made the wrong choice. I'm so sorry Gals. I'm so sorry."
Isabella's blatant and manipulative lie appeared to be over and done with as she questioned herself in confusion "She must have left some maidens back home. Never knew what she meant. "I'm so sorry Gals." before Galavant perked up and suddenly had a distant memory of Madelana telling him in bed "I love you Gal." to which he corrected Isabella in shock "I'm so sorry Gal. She was saying "I'm so sorry Gal." We all leave tommorow at sunrise. Chuck,Snoopy,Woodstock,Sid,pack lightly there's a long journey ahead."
Charlie Brown spat out his root beer due to shock and Snoopy gave Woodstock a high five as he ecstatically danced with him and exclaimed through his thoughts "We're going on an adventure!"
"We're going on an adventure Sir Galavant?!" Charlie Brown questioned out of shock and bewilderment to which Galavant asked when he thought that the boy seemed reluctant to join him "What's the matter Chuck?" before Charlie Brown got a very excited look on his face and reassured "Oh no this is great! I've never gone on a adventure before,and quite frankly I'm scared half to death,but a couple years ago King Richard kidnaped two of our friends,Lucy and Schroeder. He's bound to have them there still. We can save them along with Valencia and Madelena!" to which Galavant faintly smiled and agreed to go after them as well "Then that's just what we'll do."
However before Galavant headed off to his home to prepare,Charlie Brown suddenly started to think about the others back home,he knew he couldn't just go off into the blue without them knowing as he thought to himself "I can't just go off on a adventure without them. I think they can be helpful." and he then walked up to the knight outside and politely asked "Sir Galavant,there is also some other friends of mine that I think could be of assistance on our journey. Maybe you should come with me so you can see them. If that is all right with you of course."
Galavant stood there by the horses and thought about it for a moment before he finally obliged to let the others come along "If they can be of any help,then they can come along. I must advise you though to not sugar coat anything to them,this is going to be a long,hard and most likely life threatening journey." to which Charlie Brown then deeply red in the face while his stomach churned at the thought,but in the end he knew what he had to do as he took a big gulp and replied "I know,but Linus deeply misses his sister despite how much they argue,and we gotta bring them both back home."
Galavant then smiled and happily exclaimed when he noticed how determined Charlie Brown seemed to help his two lost friends "With an attitude like that Chuck,you're sure to be not just a great squire but a great knight one day." to which Charlie Brown turned beat red in the face and thanked Galavant uncontrollably as he,Sid,Snoopy,Woodstock and Isabella rode off to introduce their possible new teammates to the knight.
Meanwhile back in Charlie Brown's area of the village,Linus,Peppermint Patty,March and Sally were coming home from another long day at school as the boy asked them out of curiosity "So how do you think Charlie Brown did on his first day? He should be coming back relatively soon." to which Sally ultimately shrugged and replied "Beats me,I wouldn't be surprised if he got fired on his first day."
"Chuck is a lot more capable than that Sally." Marcie retorted in defense of Charlie Brown as Peppermint Patty crankily added "If he actually got fired on his first day,I'll never speak to him again."
"That doesn't sound like a very encouraging way for him to get better Patty." Linus calmly disagreed with Patty's statement but before she could even give a reason why it was,they all suddenly stopped when they saw a group of horses in the distance coming towards them. They all recognized the white horse that the princess had and Sidney"s brown horse that carried a white beagle and a yellow canary,but they didn't seem to recognize the black horse that carried a very familiar looking man and a familiar blockhead.
"Hey Chuck and the others are back,but hold on a second,no way that's not who I think it is?" Patty asked in a mixture of confusion and excitement as she pulled out a telescope from her school pouch and looked through it. As she looked through it more and more closely and got a better look at the other man,she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs "IT'S SIR GALAVANT! WHAT ON EARTH IS HE DOING HERE?!"
The rest of the group gasped and started to panic out of excitement as Linus tried to rationalize things and calm them down,but even he couldn't contain his inner fanboy for Galavant as he stated "Now,I'm sure there's a perfectly normal reason why Charlie's Brown is being brought home by Sir Galavant himself. Oh who am I kidding? This is unheard of!"
Soon the horses finally arrived and reached them as the entire group stared at the heroic knight in awe,but before they could ask him for autographs or any other kinds of questions,Charlie Brown,Snoopy and Woodstock jumped right down and told the entire group of their day and the impending quest they were about to embark on.
"So,there's a chance that we can still save Lucy and Schroeder?" Patty asked ecstatically to which Charlie Brown confidently confirmed her and the other's suspicions "Yes,and we're all going to be accompanying Sir Galavant and the princess on their journey tommorow morning. At least if you want too."
The entire group stood there in utter shock and bewilderment as Linus quietly muttered to himself "I never thought I'd see you again Lucy. Granted I hated all the times you tried to steal my blanket,but you're still my sister. I gotta bring you home."
Linus then got a stern and determined look on his face and heroically asked Galavant "Sir Galavant,it is of my deepest honor and pride to be able to accompany you on this journey,but all I really want is to save my sister Lucy."
"I deeply know what it's like to be separated from a loved one. I'll save Lucy,Schroeder,Valencia and Madelena from King Richard if it's the last thing I do. I promise you all." Galavant heroically assured them that he'd bring Lucy and Schroeder home as the kids ecstatically cheered for him along with some cheers for Charlie Brown for even getting them on this journey in the first place.
However before riding off to prepare,Galavant turned towards the kids and continued much more serious and down to earth "I'm not going to lie to any of you,this is going to be an extremely dangerous journey. There's a chance that neither of you will come back. Are you all positively sure that you want to accompany me on this...life threatening quest?"
"I'll go. For my crabby sister. She may be a pain to deal with,but she's still my sister." Linus determinedly stated as he stepped forward and held his blanket like a whip before Snoopy made incoherent and random noises that consisted of gibberish as he and Woodstock jabbed their tiny swords and shields they left behind earlier that day into multiple directions,this obviously meant they were going too.
"I'm going too,but only because my sweet baboo is going and he needs someone like me to be there for him." Sally surprisingly decided to come with them as well as Linus cringed and shouted on instinct "I'M NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO!" before Sally stepped forward and swooned over him,much to his embarrassment as he held his blanket over him.
"Chuck needs someone to have his back. I would also never pass on an adventure with the knight of all knights. No siree." Patty heroically exclaimed as she stepped forward and joined the others.
"I've always wanted to see what kind of mystical creatures could exist in the world. I'll go if it means I can find something new out there." Marcie curiously announced as she stepped forward before Galavant smiled at the kids and suggested "Well you all best get some rest then. We leave at sunrise."
Galavant,Sid and Isabella then rode off to make their own preparations while the Peanuts Gang headed home to make their own as well,for it was now settled that Galavant,Sid,Isabella and the Peanuts Gang were about to embark on the most dangerous,most exciting and most incredible adventure they've ever had.
And so begins our plot,of which there's quite a lot,with Isabella stringing Galavant.
And with the evil king,prepared to do his thing and with the queen still pretty sure he can't.
And with Gal about to start his journey one both twisty and immensely turny.
Oh,it's lots of plot we know!
But anyway hi ho!
We're off and here we go!
Come back for our next show to see what's next on Galavant!
"Oh for god's sakes Jester! Stop with the singing and get back to what you're good at." demanded Madalena in an impatient voice to which the jester seductively asked "Knock Knock." only for Madalena to imply with a demented smirk "Not that."
"Woohoo!" The jester laughed in excitement as he jumped into Madelena's bed and started to make out with her while she snickered "Oh jester!"
