But, I'm a boy!
By Saren

::The Beatles are in Ringo’s mansion having some beers and having a grand drunken time.::

Zak- Dad? What’s going on? What’s all the noise and who are these people? ::Gances over at Ringo’s drunken band mates on the couch::

George and John- ::Clank beer bottles together and shout:: “Hey!”

Paul- ::Trips over coffee table and falls flat on his face.::

Ringo- ::Speaking in slurred and drunken speech:: Hey! There’s daddy’s little princess!

Zak- I’m a boy!

Ringo- Don’t you take that tone with me, I’m your father! Now, why don’t you be a good little girl and go down to the Quick-E-Mart and get daddy some more beer, eh? ::Hands Zak a twenty::

Zak- But, Dad, it’s almost 2 in the morning, and I’m too young to buy beer, and…

Ringo- Quit ‘yer whining. You call yourself a boy? Off with you!

Zak- ::Walks out the door and slams it behind him and is walking down the dark and ominous street alone, muttering to himself:: Lousy traumatic childhood. I wish I were one of those kids who don’t even know their dad’s. That must be cool…

::Meanwhile, our dear friends, The Who, are just leaving the pub and walking to where the van is parked::

Pete- Well, who’s going to drive?

Keith- I will!

Pete- ::Looks at Keith and thinks for a moment and then asks again:: Anyone else?

Roger- Oh bullocks, I’ll do it.

John- Oh no.

Roger- ::Climbs into the driver’s seat::

Pete and Keith- SHOTGUN!

Keith- No! I called it first!

Pete- No you didn’t

John- ::Gets into passenger’s seat::

Keith- Hey!

Pete- Aw… ::Gets in back with Keith::

::A moment later they’re sailing down the street::

Pete- Hey look, an orphan child!

Keith- Let’s capture it!

::Van pulls over along side the kid::

Zak- ::Looks up:: Huh?

Pete- Hey, kid! What are you doing out so late? Shouldn’t you be in bed?

::Everyone gets out of the van::

Zak- I’m supposed to get beer for my dad.

Pete- We know where there’s lots of beer! Want to come with us?

Zak- No.

Keith- We’ve got sticks. Pointy ones…

Zak- ::Turns around and sees John::

John- ::Gives the kid an angry glare and threatens him with a relatively sharp stick::

Zak- ::Screams::

Roger- ::Grabs Zak and shoves him in the back of the van::

::A while later at The Who’s mansion (which is far better than Ringo’s mansion, or any of the Beatle’s)::

Pete- We’re here.

Zak- Where?

Roger- Shaddup.

::They enter the mansion through a short doorway on which Pete and John hit their heads::

Pete- Damn! Every time… ::Rubs aching head::

John- ::Mutters curses under his breath and gives the door the thunder finger::

Roger- So, what do we do with the little brat now?

Keith- Hey, kid, wanna meet our pet piranha?

Zak- Uh…

Keith- Here! ::Pushes Zak into narrow doorway::

Zak- ::Screams::

Keith- Oh, don’t mind him. That’s Mr. Bones. Here’s the piranha! ::Pulls a lever::

Zak- ::Falls through a secret passage in the floor and the sound of water splashing and girly screams of agony is heard::

John- Wuss…

Pete- This kid’s boring.

Roger- Yeah, maybe we should send him home.

Keith- ::Reaches down through the hole in the floor and pulls Zak up:: Alright, you can go home now, kid.

Zak- ::Runs out the door without hesitation::

::A while later, back at Ringo’s mansion::

Zak- ::Runs through door, out of breath and his cloths are wet and torn::

Ringo- What took you so bloody long?! What happened to you? Did you get my beer?

Zak- No, but I…

Ringo- You failed. I have no son, just a wuss…

Zak- ::Cries::

The End
