DVW - The Royal Pain

Prince John vs Pete: The Royal Pain!

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND

In his chamber, Pete was having a nice rest after the day's work. It had been a rough day.
"Jeeze, I need to relax. CLARABELLE!"
After a brief moment, his assistant Clarabelle entered the room.
"You rang?" She asked.
"Is everything ready for tomorrow? I need to rest tonight."
"Yes, Sheriff Pete," she said.
"Good," Pete sighed. "Now I can get some rest –"
"Sheriff Pete!"
He turned to the doorway and saw the head of his army standing there.
"I have a message from Prince John for you," the weasel said, handing him a letter.
"Good lord, what could this be?" he wondered as he got up.
He took the letter, opened it and began to read. The weasel watched as Pete's face started to get more worrisome. When he finished, Pete looked to the weasel and said one thing.
"Get the army ready. I feel like something's going on."

NOTTINGHAM PALACE, ENGLAND

Prince John waited on his thrown. Pete was suppose to be here a while ago.
"Probably taking his time, as usual," he muttered. "I hope he gets here soon."
As if on cue, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," beckoned Prince John.
The doors opened, and Pete came in.
"You summoned my, my lord?" he said as he came in and kneeled.
"Sheriff Pete," began Prince John, "you have disappointed me."
"What do you mean?" Pete asked.
"Oh, you know what I mean," Prince John growled. "All you do is sit on your backside all day and tend to only your needs. You don't even do what I tell you to do, especially when it comes to capturing Robin Hood!"
Pete frowned.
"He's not my problem," he said. "He's yours."
"Precisely," said the prince as he stood up, saying one final demand.
"Pete, you're fired. Leave my kingdom at once."
Pete was utterly shocked. On the outside.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"I'm not saying it again, now go!"
Pete took a step back. Then he smiled and pulled out his sword.
"Actually, I say you go."
Prince John was confused.
"What are you talking about?"
Pete smiled as he shouted, "WEASELS!!!"
The head weasel came out of nowhere. He whistled, and the rest of the weasel army appeared out of nowhere as well. Prince John ran.
Oh my goodness! he thought as he ran. I need to get out of here. I need help! I'm all alone…wait. I'm not alone.
Prince John stopped and turned back at Pete's army.
"GUARDS! ATTACK!"
Prince John's army came. They looked at the weasels and charged.

The two armies battled furiously, neither one able to take advantage. That was until Prince John's head executioner got an idea.
"Archers, cover me!"
The alligator ran with his axe, and the archers did cover him. Pete and the weasels had taken notice of them and attacked with spears.
"You take care of them!" he shouted. "I'll take care of Prince John!"
He left, and the weasels went to get him.
But the alligator reached his destination: the bottom of the rope that held the chandelier.
"Here goes nothin'," he whispered as he chopped the rope.
The chandelier fell, and it happened to get all of the weasels heading his way!
The alligator sighed. "That takes care of that."
"Wait," shouted an archer. "I have an idea."

Prince John and Pete fought furiously. They both new that this would be the final battle.
"Give up?" Pete asked as he swung his sword.
"Never!" roared Prince John.
Prince John smacked Pete with the backside of his sword, turning Pete so his back was to him, and cut the back of Pete's pants. They fell and revealed that he was wearing hearted underwear. Pete looked back and gasped.
"Classic," Prince John chuckled when he saw them.
Pete was totally embarrassed. But before he could do anything, the chandelier came bursting through the doors with the weasels in it, and it rolled right at Pete!
Pete tried to run, shouting, "No! Wait! NOOO!"
But it was too late. The chandelier ran into him, and it dragged him and the weasels right out of the window, falling down the hills to far below the castle. Prince John smiled.
"Good," he said. "Now to find a new Sheriff. Sir Hiss!"
Sir Hiss came through the destroyed door.
"Uh, yes?"
"I need a new Sheriff, someone who won't disappoint me."

OUTSIDE NOTTINGHAM PALACE, ENGLAND

Far below the castle, Pete and his guards tried to get out of the wreckage that they had just gotten into.
"Why didn't you guys look up to see that chandelier?" Pete demanded.
"We didn't hear it falling," the Weasel Captain said.
"Well next time that happens, I'm firing you!" Pete shouted.
"Excuse me, gentlemen…"
Pete and the weasels turned to see a strange man in front of them. One of his hands was a hook.
"…but I believe that I know someone that can help you."
