"It's great! It's got suspense, action, horror, comedy, and romance!"
"Aye, ah git a story tae, tis aboot an annoying auldjin wha wilnae hing aff us 'n' it doesn't hae a guid the end."
Then jack wis thrown towards us. "You're like... old."

"Nahh, I'm pretty sure we haven't met."
"Yeah, I told you one of my stories and you liked it!"
"No way Dude."
"Whilk wey did he gang?"
"That way." He pointed north.
. . .
We then began gawin`. You'd think thare wouldn't be a desert north. Ah then fun a trail o' sandals.
"Uggh."
"Ye wear sandals."
"Never."
. . .
We then arrived at a village stowed oot o' elves 'n' thay began tae sing.
Elves: I like the way you talk, I like the things you wear
I want your number tattooed on my arm in ink, I swear
'Cause when the morning comes, I know you won't be there
Every time I turn around, you disappear
I wanna blow your mind, just come with me, I swear
I'm gonna take you somewhere warm, you know j'adore la mer
'Cause when the morning comes, I know you won't be there
Every time I turn around, you disappear
Nice to meet ya
(Chorus: I got love for you)
(Chorus: I got love for you)
Nice to meet ya, what's your name?
Let me treat ya to a drink
I like the way you talk; I like the things you wear

"Aye, stoatin, hae ony o' ye seen this jimmy?"
"Yeah, but he was with another young man and a girl!"
"That's Jill 'n' Peter, dae ye ken whit happened tae thaim?"
"They just went that way, but be warned, you might face a horrible beast that resides there!"
"Can you, like, say what this beast is," asks Jack.
"This beast has no name... so we just call it Gus."
"Okay, weel, a'm sure we kin handle it."
"What do you mean, we?"
. . .
We then traveled tae th' area whaur we micht catch up wi` this so-called beast. Ah'ament feart, bit unfortunately, lacking yer auld lang syne means Jack ain't muckle o' a warrior noo. Ah wonder whit did happen tae his friends.
"Gus is kind of a weird name for a beast," says Jack, "then again, Jack's kind of a weird name for a Samurai. What's that about?"
"Na idea. Ah ne'er asked."
Then th' beast cam. He wis a giant green lizard cratur 'n' he keeked hungert.
"For the record, I blame you," says Jack.
Th' beast then cam at us 'n' ah used mah sword tae rammy back. Tis lik' that time ah fought th' loch ness monster. Guid times... until ah fun oot she wis a mither. Anyway, this beast wis pure tough, bit that insae aff tae stoap me fae getting jack's brains back. Ah then managed tae tak' it doon. Then th' beast woke up 'n' saw Jack. "Hey, I know you," th' Beast said.
"Ye kin speak?"
"Yep, sorry for trying to eat you boys. I just get so hungry. You ever get that feeling..." He wis actually kind o' boring.
"Uhh... Mr. Gus... we kind have a thing..."
"Oh, sorry."
"Whilk wey did ye see him gang?"
"That way."
We then traveled wast.
. . .
"Dude, I have never done this much walking," says Jack.
"Ye dae this a' th' time!"
"Why would I ever do that?"
"Ye hae tae whin ye git Aku oan yer tai!"
"Who?"
"That's interesting, considdering he rules th' entire planet, mibbie even th' universe... or at least th' galaxy."
"Never heard of him. He important."
"Important? he wis yer da's ancient enemy! whin 'twas yer time tae rammy him, he sent ye tae th' future in time tae oor time 'n' sin then, ye 'n' yer mukkers hae bin trying tae fin' a wey back tae th' bygane!"
"Woah-woah! First, you tell me I'm a Samurai and now you tell me I'm a time traveling samurai! That's nuts!" He then tripped ower something. "Who leaves a paper fan lying around?"
Ah then picked it up. "This is na ordinar fan, this is yin o' jill's fans. This means we're getting closer!" Ah then hud a feeling that something wis gey wrong. Ah keeked 'n' saw someone we shuid nae hae run intae. "Ashi!"
