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 |
