It's Bedtime
by Donald Scott
The Xena Characters are not mine, they all belong to Universal the story is mine.
Xena,
Gabrielle, and Joxer were sitting by the evening campfire.
Xena:" Well it's time to go to bed you two."
Gabrielle got a mischievous grin on her face then all at once she
said. "Tell us a story Mommie Xena."
Xena gave Gabrielle The Look, which would have made even Ares
back away from her. The only thing it did to Gabrielle was make
her say, "Please will both go to bed right after the story.
We promise won't we Joxie?" Then she elbowed Joxer, in the
ribs knocking him off the log that he was sharing with her.
As Joxer got back onto the log he caught onto what Gabrielle was
up to, then he said. "We want a bed time story Mommie
Xena."
Xena: "All right! All right! I tell you both a story but you
both must promise that you go to bed right after the story
promise?"
Gabrielle, Joxer: "We do."
Xena: "All right here it goes here's the story of the three
pigs......"
Gabrielle, Joxer: "No we want a better story."
Xena: "All right here's the story it's called my true love.
There once was this Prince his name was Theodore. He was
searching for a Princess for his father demanded that he must
marry on the next full moon. Which would be in thirty days he
traveled the land many girls clamed to be Princess. For the whole
land has heard that the Prince was seeking a bride especially
this one blond girl she was beautiful. Her name was
Hudson....."
Joxer: "Hudson sounds like a guys name. Oww!"
Gabrielle gave Joxer another elbow in the ribs again knocking him
off the log saying. "Be quiet I know of a couple of girls
name Hudson and I think the name is beautiful please continue
Xena."
Xena: "Now where was I oh yeah Hudson. She was young and
smart but very crafty. She knew what she was doing she followed
Prince Theodore everywhere he went. When Prince Theodore came to
next village she was there watching from a distance. Always aware
of the Prince's every move. Finally the Prince came upon a quiet
village his servant said there is no Princess here."
Prince Theodore: "I seek a young woman who loves me for whom
I am. Not as a Prince now stop calling me Prince Theodore just
call me Theodore and I will call you by your first name which is
Bruce is it not?"
Bruce: "Yes Prince Theodore. I mean Theodore."
Theodore: "By the way Bruce, no more stealing anything do
you hear me?"
Bruce: "Yes Theodore but I never been caught yet, I'm like
The King of Thieves."
Then Prince Theodore saw her. She was the most beautiful woman in
the world. She had strawberry blond hair. Her eyes were like
emeralds. She was walking beside a much taller woman. Who had jet
black hair, her elegance and beauty matched the beauty of the
smaller woman. The Prince went up to the two ladies.
Theodore: "Hello my name is Theodore this is my friend
Bruce. Bruce?"
The Prince turned around and saw that Bruce was about to steal
some apples then he called out. "Bruce get over here
now."
Bruce turned and saw the Prince had caught him again then said.
"I'm coming."
The tall woman spoke first. "My name is Lucy this my friend
Renee."
Renee: "Hello."
Hudson saw that the Prince had fallen in love with Renee, but she
wanted the Prince for her own. So she took out her sleeping darts
and shot Renee with one. Renee collapsed on the ground. Lucy spun
around trying to find out who had shot her friend with a dart.
The Prince knelt down at the sleeping girl and vowed to get
revenge for her.
Lucy: "No! For we must find a way to wake her up instead of
revenge. There is only one person I know who could help us and
that is Prince Theodore."
Theodore: "That’s me but how can I help?"
Lucy: "For the only way to wake her up you must go through
Dragon's pass and bring back a flower. That rivals her beauty for
it is called Callisto-Xena....."
Gabrielle: "Hey why do you and Callisto have a flower named
after you?"
Xena: "Because it's my story now be quiet or I'll won't
finish it. Now where was I? Oh yeah...the flower for it rivals
her beauty. You must go through Dragon's pass and pass the black
dragon Ares. For Callisto-Xena flower is guarded by the dragon
Ares. You will need a good thief to help you."
Theodore:" Don't worry I got the best right Bruce?"
Bruce: "Yeah right."
Theodore:" Well let’s go."
As Prince Theodore and Bruce made there way into Dragon's pass.
They were just getting entering the
past. Then they heard a great roar they turned around and saw
that there was a rock slide that had sealed them in. The past was
blocked then they saw who has done it for it was Hudson, Lucy and
Renee.
Theodore:" Why did you do this to us ?"
Lucy:" Because your both pains in the rear, but that's not
the main worry look behind you."
Theodore and Bruce turned around and it was Ares the dragon. He
was twenty feet high his hide was like five suits of chain mail
armor laid on top of each other.
Ares: "My thanks ladies I was wandering when you were going
to feed me again."
Renee: "Ares! I'm hurt did you think will forget to feed our
true love ?"
Theodore:" What about the dart ? Hudson shot you with the
dart and you fell asleep, didn’t you ?"
Lucy: "My idea your dad thought you both were pains in the
rear. So he said he will give us the kingdom if we got rid of you
two pains. Bye.
Theodore: "I thought you loved me ?"
Renee: "You must be joking. I love my pet dragon Ares."
Theodore: "What about you Hudson ?"
Hudson: "Get real."
Hudson, Lucy, and Renee: "Later our true love." The
three of them blew a kiss to Ares.
Then the three of them went back to the kingdom arm in arm
listing to the screams of Theodore and Bruce as Ares ate them.
Hudson: "Who do we feed next to Ares ?"
Lucy: "Well I was thinking of Kevin and Michael ."
Renee: "Do we have to feed Michael to Ares? He is kind of
cute you know."
The other two looked at Renee like she lost her mind.
Renee: "Ok,ok! Will give him Michael."
Xena: "Will what do you guys think ?" She saw shocked
expressions on Gabrielle and Joxer face. "Now you guys did
promise to go to bed after I told you a story didn't you ?'
Gabrielle and Joxer both sat there still shocked as Xena got into
bed.
Gabrielle: "I thought it was supposed to be a love story
?"
Joxer: "Me too."
Then Xena turned over in her bed and said: "Paybacks! Now
get to bed its bedtime."
Joxer and Gabrielle both went to bed but were grumbling about the
story.
Gabrielle to herself: "Last time we let her tell a
story."
Joxer: "Goodnight Gabrielle, good night Xena."
Gabrielle: "Goodnight Joxer, goodnight Xena."
Xena: "Goodnight Gabrielle, goodnight Joxer."
