Drifter
by Nathan Crews
The day was rainy, so the Gourrigan's crew were staying in their huts, bored stiff(except for Zangulus and Martina, who didn't mind being stuck indoors, particularly since Zangulus was stiff, boredom or not.)
Amelia: It's not fair!
Zangulus and Martina have as much fun as they want, rain or shine, and I'm stuck here
alone.
Lina: Hey, you've got us for company, don't you!
Amelia: But not Zelgadis! Now THERE'S somebody I wanna spend time with!
And what a body!
Sylphiel: Oh please stop thinking about it, you'll only give the rest of
us a headache!
Amelia: You're just upset because they took away your Chibi Gourry!
Sylphiel: Hey!
The girls began fighting tooth and nail, Lina preparing a Fireball to blast them to their senses when suddenly, a clap of thunder boomed across the island. All activity freezes for a moment.
Then...
Lina: Hey, who's that guy walking into the clearing!
Sure enough, a heavy-set man with a whiskery chin and a black hat tromps into the castaway's Village. He pauses, looks up at the sky irritatedly, pulling out and old-fashioned typewriter and muttering to himself…
Nathan: (Typing) Rain stops.
Suddenly, the downpour ends, and the crew gaze intently at the newcomer.
Lina: Hey! Who the heck
are you!
Gourrigan: Yeah! And why didn't you make it stop raining sooner!
Nathan: Sorry, I got carried away with myself. Anyway, I've decided to
write an episode, so stay loose, okay?
He began to walk away, only to be jumped by the entire cast.
Amelia: Tell us what's
going on! We demand to know the wherefores and hows of our latest peril!
Nathan: It's a secret!
Xellos: Don't steal my lines! And write a few more for me, would you.
Rezo: Exactly what should we expect this time? Crazed crossovers? PWP? A
fresh Lemon scent?
Nathan: None of the above. Mercy.
Gourrigan: You're not going to shack me up with with Zangulus?
Nathan: I wouldn't anyway, but that's not what I meant.
Lina: So what exactly DO you mean?
Nathan: In a short time, someone will arrive on this island. He will
answer all of you're questions. Good-bye.
With that, Nathan begins to walk away.
Lina: Hey! Aren't you
going to stay and orchestrate your little atrocity?!
Nathan: I'm not that suicidal. Or that hands-on accessible. If something
goes wrong, you're on your own.
With that he walks off screen, fading out of view in a blur as the theme from "High Plains Drifter" begins to play.
Firia: What a weirdo.
Sylphiel: He didn't even tell us who our visitor will be.
THE END..for now
