Sonata Moonlight and The Card Of Packbat
Enjoy everyone, all efforts are to ZZdragon and yours truly
In a place called Cowtown and at a saloon called the Tumbleweed, the cow lady with orange hair in a blue saloon dress was wiping down the counters when a male jackrabbit wearing a postal uniform walks inside the saloon.
"Letter for Miss Lily Bovine," said the jackrabbit
"Thank you kindly," Miss Lily said.
She got the letter and when she opened it, she was really excited
"Howdy Jack," a familiar voice said.
"Howdy Cowlorado," said Jack
He walks into the saloon with a sad look on his face.
"Why the long face there Cowlorado, did something happen, here have a sasparilla on the house," said Lily as she gave him a mug
"Thanks and so to why I'm lower than a snake belly, Sally Sue just leaves town and left me a dear John letter," Cowlorado answered while he grabs the mug.
"Oh now don't worry, I'm sure there's a little lady just waiting for ya, Kid," said Lily
"You might be right but now I'll feel nothing but the blues," Cowlorado said.
"Poor kid, there must be some way to help him," thought Lily as she saw the letter and she got an idea
"Cowlorado!" Miss Lily said
"Huh?" Cowlorado said while putting down his mug.
"There is something you can help me with," she said as she read the letter to Kid
"Dear Lily" Miss Lily started.
"It's me, your old friend Sonata, guess what I am gonna be coming to Cow Town to find a place to work and I also thought about working and being partners with you," said a voice from the letter Lily was reading
"That's nice for you Miss Lily," Cowlorado said
"She also said that she'll be on the next stagecoach here this afternoon, signed Sonata Moonlight," she said
"That's good," Cowlorado said
"So I was wondering Kid, maybe you can help Sonata feel more welcome here in Cow Town," said Lily
"Sure," Cowlorado said.
"Great," she said
Then Moo, Dakota, and Kate walk into the saloon.
"Howdy Miss Lily," said Moo
"Howdy Moo, Dakota, and Kate," Miss Lily said.
She told them that her friend Sonata Moonlight is coming this afternoon and asked them to help her feel welcome
They give their agreements
"Then it's settled," said Lily
"Yep," Dakota said.
"Can't wait to meet her, when was the last time you saw her Lily," asked Kate
"Before I move here," Lily answered
"She and I were little girls when we first met, she was kind, sweet and she was really friendly with others including me," she said as she told them about her
"She sounds like a fine filly," Moo said
"She sure is, one time she donated her blankets that she fixed with her hands to families who don't have any also she's the daughter of Jared Moonlight, a wealthy farmer and businessman," she said
"She sounds like my type of gal," Kate said.
"She also said that Her brother Jacob left eight years ago to explore all of the Mesa and he's been writing to her faithfully every day, but when she was growing up, she lost her mother Irene when she left on a boat voyage," said Lily sadly
"Sorry to hear that Miss Lily," Moo said.
"Wait, Miss Lily, How do we know what she looked like, does she have a family crest," asked Kid
"Wait right here," Miss Lily said as she headed to her room.
She looked until she found what she was looking for and brought it out for everyone to see
"Sonata had sent me a picture of herself a few months ago," Miss Lily said as went back to the group.
She showed everyone the photo as she looked to be extremely beautiful
"Good thing that no good sheriff is no longer here," Dakota said.
"She sure is pretty," said Kid
"What get you down kid?" Kat asks Cowlorado.
"Sally Sue Holstein," he answered
"She broke your heart?" Moo asks
"Yeah," he said
"Sorry about that kid," Moo said
"No worries Moo," he said
"Yeah, he will get over her in time it's not like she just moves without saying something and breaks up with him through a letter," Kate said.
"Yeah, your right Cowlamity," said Kid
"And that's what she did," Miss Lilly said.
"I hope Miss Moonlight likes me," said Kid
"I'm sure she will," Miss Lily said.
"There's still things until she arrives," she said as she started cleaning the saloon
"Like what?" Moo asks
"Cleaning the saloon and finding her a house in Cowtown or a ranch," she said
"You and Moo can find the houses here while the rest of us clean up the Saloon," Kate said.
"All right Miss Lilly, Like the code of the West says "A friend in need helps others feel like they are home," said Moo
"Give me a few Moo," Miss Lily said as she went back to your room.
"I'll help out too," said Cowlamity Kate
"You will be clear here with me and Dakota," Kate said.
"Yup," said Dakota as he tipped his hat to Miss Kate
While both girls went up stares to Miss Lily's room
"Boys let's clear up the Salon," Moo said
"Right," said Kid as they got to work
Meanwhile in the Mayor's office.
"How can I make even more money than I used to, now that Sheriff Terrorbull is gone, I'm losing more money every day," said Mayor Baloney as he looked out the window of his office
Then Mayor Baloney heard a loud crash sound outside of the office.
"What are those buffoons up to now," said the mayor as he walked over to the source of the crash
"Trying to open this jar," an anthropomorphic buzzard with a yellow beak with stubble on his chin and blue cere that goes up to his eyes, he is dressed in grey undertakers clothing complete with a top hat, underneath his hat is messy gray hair, answered as he holds up a jar of fruit.
"Did you twist the top," asked the mayor
"Yes, I did," the buzzard answered
Then Mayor Baloney notices that the other buffoon is missing.
"Where's Saddlesore," he demanded
"I don't know," the buzzard answered
Suddenly the door was burst open by the person at the door
"Who's dare!?" Mayor Baloney questioned.
"Mayor Baloney," said Saddlesore
"Saddlesore!? What is the idea of" Mayor Baloney started but was cut off by the scorpion punching him in his gut
"There's some news that you like to hear," said the scorpion
"For now I'm in charge you talking piece of a jerky!" said the scorpion
The buzzard notices a strange card in Saddlesore's hat.
"What's that card in your hat," asked The buzzard as he took the card off his hat
Then the scorpion looks confused.
"Huh? How did I get here and why are you on the floor boss?" Saddlesore asks Mayor Baloney.
"What makes you in charge Saddlesore," he said as he rose up in steaming mad
"Wha!? What are you talking about?" Saddlesore asks scared.
Then the buzzard pulls out his firearms.
"What's with you, you old buzzard," asked the corrupted mayor
"What do you think pot roast? I'm taking over!" the buzzard answered.
"What has gotten into you," asked Saddlesore
"Noting you overgrown bug," the buzzard answered.
"BUG, THAT"S CROSSING THE LINE BUZZARD," shouted Saddlesore as he tackled Boothill onto the floor and the card from earlier fell off his hat
"Saddlesore! WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME!?" Buzzard asks in shock
"Huh?" Mayor Baloney said confused as the two keep changing then he notice the card.
"What's this card," he said pointing at it
"Hey! I found that in some hole where there were lots of gold," Saddlesore said.
"GOLD, SHOW ME WHERE NOW," demanded the Mayor
"Sure thing boss let me pick up this card," Saddlesore said as he was about to pick up the card.
"NO," shouted the mayor as he got tongs and puts in into a small barrel
"I'm this card had something to do with your change of attitude," Mayor Baloney said as he used the tongs to pick up the card.
"You mean that card is the reason I change," asked Saddlesore
"Yes, you buffoon and it's why you can't remember how you got here," Mayor Baloney answered as he put the card on the barrel.
"Right Boss, Follow me where I found the gold," said the scorpion
They follow the scorpion outside, the card as an image of a right-winged arm the card reads 'Right arm of the fallen night guardian'.
"Soon," it said
Back at the saloon.
"Ready," said Miss Lilly
Miss Lily looks over her Saloon
It sparkled and it was clean as a whistle
"And here I thought boys only know how to make messes," Kate said.
"Phew, what do you think Miss Lilly," asked Cowlorado.
"It looks great boys," she answered as she walk downstairs.
"Thanks, boys," said Kate
"It was no problem," Dakota said.
"Want us to help welcome Miss Moonlight," asked Kid
"Sure," Miss Lily said
"When is she arriving," asked Moo
Then they heard a wagon stopping in front of the saloon.
"She's here," said Lilly
They walk outside to see a cow wearing a robin's eggshell blue dress with a matching hat and shoes, her raven hair is shoulder length sea-green eyes landed on the group.
"Lilly," said the beautiful girl as she ran up and hugged Miss Lilly
"Sonata, I'm glad you're here," Lilly said with a smile.
"Thank you and these must be your friends," said Sonata as she did a curtsy, and when she got up and saw Kid, she blushed as she hid her face behind a fan she had with her
"Yes, they are," Miss Lily said as she brings Sonata to them.
"Hello, I'm Sonata Moonlight, but please call me Nata if you like," she said as she shook hands with everyone
"No problem my name is Kate Cudster," Kate said while shaking hands with Nata.
"Please to meet you and thank you so much for being friends with Lilly, She's happy to have you as a friend," she said
"Lilly has been a great friend first," Kate said.
"Thank you for always being there for her," she said
"She's always there for me, it's only right I would be there for her," Kate said.
"Thank you," said Nata as she bowed her head and turns towards the cowboys
She went to Moo.
"I'm the Marshal, but everyone calls me Moo," said Moo
"And?" Nata question.
"I'm seeing Miss Lilly and she loves me," said Moo
"She did of a good taste of man," Nata said
"Thanks for helping Lilly, Moo," said Nata
"The honor is mine" Moo
Next Nata turns towards the Dakota dude and shook his hand
"You must be Dakota?" Nata said.
"Yup, Miss Moonlight," he said as he shook her hand
"Not much of a talker are you?" Nata asks
"Nope," said Dakota
"Okay," Nata said as she went to Kid
"Name is Cowlorado, that's Kid to you," sang Kid as Nata sighed quietly at his angelic voice when he sang to her
"Nice to meet you," Nata said.
"You too Miss Nata," said Kid
"We will show the land we brought for you, but you have to stay here at the saloon until your house is finished," Miss Lily said.
"No hurries, I'm very patient and there's no need to rush," said Nata as she started getting her luggage from the stagecoach
"Here Miss Nata let us get your luggage for you," Kid and
"Are you sure, it's only four pieces of luggage," she said
"I'm sure," Kid said
"Please let me help," she said
"Now what type of gentlemen I would be if I allowed a pretty filly like you to carry her own luggage," Kid said
"Thank you maybe you're right," said Nata as she allowed them to get her luggage
So far Cowlorado was able to carry all four bags without a problem.
"You sure you won't need help, Mister Kid? " asked Nata as she got worried
"I'm fine no need to worry," Kid said.
"Ok, be careful, I don't want you to hurt yourself," said Nata
"I'll be careful." Kid said.
Back with the so-called villains
"Are we almost there, better not get us lost or I'm gonna wring your hide," demanded the Corrupted Mayor
"We're here!" Saddlesore said pointing to a crater.
"WOW!" said The mayor
The crater was nothing but gold as far as they could see.
"GOLD, I'M RICH," he shouted heading for the gold
"That's strange there's more gold than before?" Saddlesore said in confusion.
"WHO CARES, GET HAULLING BOYS," Demanded the Mayor
The Mayor moves a piece of gold only for another piece to grow and take the first's place.
"This is amazing, the gold regrows when I take it and there's more," he said surprised
"With this land, I won't need that idiot sheriff or steal from anyone ever again!" Mayor Bulloney said
"Here we are!" a voice from 20 feet away.
The mayor turns to the source of the voice
He saw the heroes and their friends with a cow.
"Marshal Moo, what a surprise," he said
The Mayor saw the group so far they hadn't noticed his group.
"I hope you like it, Nata," Miss Lily said to the new cow
Nata takes a look around.
"It's beautiful and full of life itself, but you didn't have to go this far just for me," she said as she was amazed by the sight of the land
"I'm glad you like it and your house will be ready in a few months," Miss Lily said.
"Thank you, I hope there isn't too much trouble Lilly, and besides are you sure you are okay with building the house, it's a lot of hard work," said Nata looking worried
"I already hire a crew to build your house," Lily said.
"Will they be okay, maybe I should fix up everyone some lunch," she said
"Also not to be rude but can my house have a balcony, they remind me of home and a porch with a swing, they also remind me of my mother and how she loved sitting there with my father and loved looking at sunsets," she asked nicely
"First off the crew won't start until tomorrow and second I already added those to the blueprints," Lilly answered.
"Thank you, Lilly, It's kinda my first time away from home since Mother died," said Nata
"And I'm sorry you had to go through that," Lily said.
"Thank you, Lilly, and don't worry I'll be sure to help out in any way, " she said
"I know you will," Lily said
"Anybody ready for lunch, I might make some Gumbo," she said nervously
"I would love some Miss Nata," Kid said
"Where's Moo, he was with us a while ago," said Nata as she looked around for the missing Marshal
The Mayor and his goons quickly leave.
"There must be some way to get the gold with the Cowboys finding out," thought the mayor
"Yeah, too bad they fight against themselves," Buzzard said.
"Wait," he said
"You just give me an idea Buzzard," Mayor Baloney said.
"What idea," he asked
"To use the card to cause the Cowboys infighting with one another," Mayor Baloney answered.
"We?" Mayor Baloney questioned.
"He means you, sir," said the buzzard
"That's more like it," Mayor Baloney said.
"All that gold will soon be mine," he thought
As they make their way back to the town hall.
A vulture flew over them in a circle
It watches the villains.
"This is interesting," said the vulture
The vulture follows the group.
"This is news," she said
Once the vulture saw they had entered a build
She swooped in and took a look inside through a window
"Remember to see the tongs to pick up the card you buffoons," Mayor Baloney told the two.
"Right boss," said the henchmen
The vulture saw their target being held by the tongs.
"Found the card," thought the vulture
"So what's the plan boss?" Buzzard question.
"Yeah, should we get Terrorbull too," said Saddlesore
"You think it was easy to get him back here I would already have done it!" Mayor Baloney said as he punched Saddlesore atop his head.
"Sorry Boss, but what's the plan," he asked while rubbing the top of his head
"They most likely are going back to Miss Lilly's saloon I want you and Buzzard to make sure they can only sit at a table where you two can drop the card onto one of the cowboys' hats meanly Moo's," Mayor Baloney answered.
"Yes sir," said the henchmen unaware the vulture watched everything through the window
Then it transforms into a snake.
It slithers to the tumbleweed and looked around for someone
Then it saw its target.
"Here I go," she thought
The snake went into the tumbleweed and make it move.
"Hope you're hungry," said Nata carrying a big pot of Gumbo
"Yes we are ma'am," Kid said.
"Here's my special meatballs and noodles gumbo," she said as she started serving bowls and handing them out to everyone
"Thank you," everyone said
They took a taste of it and with amazement, they found out that the food was so delicious, they started asking for seconds
Nata takes the bowls and refills them.
"See Nata, they just love your cooking," said Lilly
"I see that now," Nata said
"You've got to give me the recipe for your cooking Nata," asked Miss Lilly as she and Nata both serve the bowls to the others and watched as they happily ate more and asked for thirds and fourths
"Maybe when the boys aren't around," Nata answered unaware of the three uninvited guests.
"That's nice," said Lilly
Up on the second floor, the Mayor's goons were aiming the card at Moo's hat.
"Remember don't miss," said Saddlesore
The snake slithers into Buzzard's pants
"Hey stop hissing, I'm being careful," said Buzzard
"But I'm not hissing," Saddlesore answered.
"Then who is hissing," asked Boothill
Then snake brushes up against the sensitive area of the male body.
"Yikes, somethings on me," said Buzzard
Saddlesore look around but saw nothing.
"I don't see nothing," he said
Then both went quiet as they realize what Saddlesore needs to do.
"Don't move," he whispered as he got a big stick
Saddlesore start to hit Buzzard with the stick.
"Ow, Owie, Ouchie, Ow," said the Buzzard as he got beaten up by the fast stick-whacking Scorpion
Which causes Buzzard to let go of the tongs.
"The card," they whispered
The snake came out of Buzzard's pants more dizzy than the goon.
"Ouch, now I know how a whack-a-mole from a carnival feels like after getting whacked by different customers, oops," said the snake as she covered her mouth on what she spoke
But the goons were too busy to notice.
"Phew," said the snake
Then the snake saw Buzzard doesn't have the tongs anymore.
"Oh cheese weasels," she thought as she looked down below looking above
A painting on the wall gives the snake its evil eyes
"Scary painting," she muttered
"It's me! Peanut!" the painting said in a male voice as it takes the form of a weasel.
"Sly!? what are you doing here?" asked Peanut
"My owner thought you may need backup so he sent me," the now-named Sly answered
"I guess so, we need to get the card of pack bat from those henchmen," said Peanut as she pointed at the buzzard and scorpion
"It's too late, LOOK,!" Sly said as he point to Buzzard's arms
"Found it," said Boothill as he got the tongs
"Ow!" Cowlorado said as the tongs bounce on his head and landed on the floor releasing the card.
"Are you okay, Kid," asked Nata as she went over and checked Kid for injuries
"Yeah, I'm hit worse than that before," Cowlorado said as he look at the card.
"Hey what's this little card," he asked
"Huh?" the rest of the heroes said in confusion as Kid pick up the card.
"I never seen that card before," said Nata
As soon Cowlorado has the card in hand it tries to take control.
"Kid, what's with him, we gotta help him," said Nata as she rushes towards him and Dakota got up quickly out of his chair "Hang on Kid," said Dakota as they hurry to help their friend
But Kid pushes them away as he runs outside.
"Come on, we have to help him," said Nata as she and the others ran after Kid
Once they are outside they could find a sign of Kid.
"Where'd he go," said Nata as she looked worried
