On the next: FANTASTIC FICTION
CHAPTER 1:
In Lacour Castle, Claude, Rena, and Ashton are having an audiance with the
king....
CLAUDE: So, we need a lawyer to aid us in our case. Are there any avaliable?
KING LACOUR: Yes, there are lawyers avaliable....
RENA: Really? Good, then. Our case is an urgent one indeed....
KING LACOUR: Yes. Allow me to introduce...
A strange man enters the throne room from the side....
KING LACOUR: ... Cooper Seamore.
CLAUDE: Cooper Seamore?
COOPER: It's always a pleasure. I'm efficient, persistent, and concise.
KING LACOUR: Yes (slight laugh). He is one of our most profound lawyers....
RENA: I see....
COOPER: What's your case? You need to tell me your case. I NEED to know your
case to do well. I'm Cooper Seamore, but I'm useless unless I KNOW what case
I'm involved in....
KING LACOUR: Seamore, I'LL tell you about it later...
COOPER: Oh....
KING LACOUR: Anyway... Claude, Rena and Ashton. Come back noon tomorrow, to
the courtroom. Remember... noon tomorrow....
CLAUDE: Sure, no problem.
ASHTON: We'll be there! This case is ours!
COOPER: Especially, with I, Cooper Seamore, on our side....
KING LACOUR: You're dismissed....
Claude, Rena, and Ashton leave the throne room....
CHAPTER 2:
In the main lobby, the three meet up with Precis.
PRECIS: Hello, everyone! So, how was it!?
CLAUDE: Well, we got ourselves a lawyer.
PRECIS: (snapping her finger and pointing) Very good! We'll find justice now!
RENA: Precis?
PRECIS: Huh? What, Rena?
RENA: I didn't know you could snap so well....
PRECIS: (snapping again) You know, I wasn't aware I had it in me....
ASHTON: I guess you're a natural born snapper....
PRECIS: (snapping and pointing some more) I guess I am....
Precis snaps and points in one fluid motion, then walks away.
PRECIS: See you all later! I have to visit Leon....
CLAUDE: Good - bye....
CHAPTER 3:
Later that day....
LEON: So, King Lacour, is it OK if I make my Gline into an official product?
KING LACOUR: What does it do, again?
LEON: It shine, brightens, and even protects surfaces. It could almost make
them glow....
KING LACOUR: ... Interesting....
LEON: So... do you approve?....
KING LACOUR: ... Your product seems to be a good benefit for society.
Starting tomorrow, GLINE will be on store shelves... EVERYWHERE!!!!
LEON: Thanks!
KING LACOUR: ... You're dismissed....
Leon leaves the throne room. While wandering around the castle, he runs into
Precis....
PRECIS: (snapping and pointing, almost dance - style) Hi, Leon! I was looking
all over for you....
LEON: Well, I did it!
PRECIS: Another... (snaps and points again)... case?
LEON: Er, no....
....
LEON: My Gline has been approved.
PRECIS: Ohhhh... GLINE... you almost wrecked my bobot with that... ohhh,
that... wretched THING!
LEON: Remember, it was an accident.
PRECIS: Ohhh... GLIIIIIIIINE. That name sends - ohhh, I HATE it!!!!
LEON: Sheesh, it was an accident.
PRECIS: (snapping and pointing) As long as I'm not near Gline, then I'm fine.
....
PRECIS: Well, I've got to go! (snaps and points some more).
LEON: Later, big sister!
Precis goes on snapping, pointing, and dancing all the way down the hallway,
getting the attention of several people before turning a corner, out of view.
LEON: Hmmm, must be a snapping obsession.
CHAPTER 4:
The next day, in the court room....
JUDGE: Order! Order! Cooper Seamore, will you present the case?....
COOPER: I'll be glad to. This here man, Mr. Ashton Anchors, claims to have
been involuntarily involved in a business fraud....
JUDGE: Indeed....
COOPER: Mr. Hoodwink, the owner of a store called the "BARREL KEG," had been
paying Mr. Anchors counterfeit FOL.
HOODWINK: I OBJECT!!!!
JUDGE: Objection dismissed!
COOPER: Anyway, I feel that this action performed by Mr. Hoodwink was
dispicable, intolerable, and deplorable.
JUDGE: ....
COOPER: ... Devious, mischevious, and envious...
JUDGE: I think we have a point...
ASHTON: (wispering to Claude and Rena) THis could go on forever....
CLAUDE: (whispering) That's what I'm afraid of....
COOPER: Mr. Anchors, would you take a stand?
ASHTON: Certainly!
CLAUDE: (to himself) Hmmm, the court system here is different than that of
the Earth Federation, and older court systems on Earth....
Eventually, it was near the first break....
JUDGE: OK, the final part of this case is the hard evidence. After the break,
we'll need to prove that the counterfeit FOL will dissolve in water.
....
JUDGE: Dismissed....
CHAPTER 5:
HOODWINK: Phew, nothing like a nice break....
....
Hoodwink comes across a shelf with a new product....
HOODWINK: Gline?
....
HOODWINK: (reading) Hmmm, shines, brightens, and protects surfaces. It almost
makes them glow!....
....
HOODWINK: Hmmm....
Meanwhile....
PRECIS: (snapping and pointing) (whistle, whistle).
JUDGE: Hey, you!
PRECIS: Me?
JUDGE: I need you to gather the counterfeit FOL and bring it to to the
courtroom. The people who are normally do this are taking an off - day.
PRECIS: (pointing and snapping) Sure!
JUDGE: It's in a box in the armory. Take this pass so the guards will let you
take it.
PRECIS: Thanks!
Precis goes towards the armory.
GUARD: Oh, I see that you have permission from the judge. Proceed....
PRECIS: There's the FOL!
Percis takes the counterfeit FOL and goes back to the court room. But, about
half - way there....
PRECIS: ....
PRECIS: ... ouch!
Precis hands were hurting from snapping her fingers too much....
PRECIS: Whoa, I can't carry this any more!
Precis places the box on the ground, then heads toward the restrooms.
....
Hoodwink comes walking by....
HOODWINK: Aah, what's this!?
....
HOODWINK: Counterfeit FOL!? Bingo!
Hoodwink opens the box handle, and takes out some Gline....
CHAPTER 6:
Later....
PRECIS: Ahh, just where I left it!
Precis takes the counterfeit FOL and goes back to the court room.
Meanwhile....
COOPER: Now, all's we need is the FOL....
Precis enters the courtroom with the counterfeit FOL.
ASHTON, CLAUDE, and RENA: Precis?
Precis places the FOL on a table.
COOPER: Now for the test.
A guard brings water to the judge.
JUDGE: If the water dissolves, Hoodwink will be punished. If not, the case is
dismissed, and it will be the first time Cooper Seamore loses a case!
COOPER: Now, THAT won't happen... I hope....
Claude, Rena, and Ashton look on with envy. So does Cooper and Hoodwink. The
judge opens the box.
JUDGE: Sheesh, this FOL is shiny....
....
JUDGE: Anyway, here we go....
The judge pours the water on the FOL....
JUDGE: ... It didn't dissolve....
COOPER: WHAT!!?? THIS CAN'T BE!!!!
HOODWINK: (to himself) Heh, heh....
COOPER: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! This isn't right! It's wicked, crooked, and
stupid!
JUDGE: The case is dismissed....
END
Later....
COOPER: I can't believe I lost....
....
COOPER: It's... not... FAIR!!!!
Meanwhile....
ASHTON: I can't believe we lost!
PRECIS: (looks sad)
LEON: ....
CLAUDE: Hey, it's not the end of the world.
RENA: Claude's right. We should be happier....
....
Everyone cries. The scene fades with everyone centered. End.
