[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Her hands crossed over her chest, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother sternly greets the doc.

"If you stick two fingers anywhere in Slim, you'll feel the full measure of my wand." With a tight smile, she shows him the twelve tapered inches. "Do you understand?"

The doc blanches, then stutters. "Y... y... yes m...Ma'am, I d..ddo."

"Good."

She opens the door and follows him inside. Daisy scampers in after her and the door closes.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico rides up to the porch on his mule, he is barefoot and his pants are rolled up, in his hand is a Mason Jar.  Going up the stairs he enters Slim's room and hands the jar to the Doc.  "Here's the leeches you sent me for."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Fairy Godmother says nothing, she simply twitches her wand.

***POOF*** Delmonico disappears and a new leech is inside the jar.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico sits in the jar very upset, he got the doctor for Slim, he got what the doctor asked him to get, he sent the bounty hunters off on a wild goose chase.  His "Alice's Dining Car" post made lil rooster laugh so hard he got coffee on his screen.  He tried to drown the bounty hunters whe they took off on friday.  And what does he get, but turned into a leech, by a Frumpy Fairy Godmother, and all he did was try hard to help.

Well this is the last straw, how could things get worse, could they get worse, yes they could, Slim could get better and want to go Walleye fishing.   Might as well, he's got bait now.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Naw, Slim won't use him for bait, how many leeches are wearing purple floral print aprons?

Slim can just put a sign on the gate and charge the local kids a penny to see the freak leech.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Doc, whatcha gonna do wit dem leeches?!?!"  "I'm much better, now. What's fer breakfast?"

[Scattered Thumbs]

Scattered Thumbs made his way back to the ranch. And, having found no one to greet him (not even Stoney Pete  ) he peeks inside from the front door, and still sees no one. Hello! Anybody home!? It's Scattered Thumbs I'm coming in! He climbs upstairs and finally finds the Red Bearded Man. He's in bed surrounded by the FFG and another fellow he had never seen before but that looks like some kind of a Medicoe. Howdy! He says startling everyone in the room except for the Red Bearded Man that saw him at the door. You be one Silver Creek Slim? He asks. I got some "wanted" posters with me that have descriptions that fit you like a glove. I intend to take you to the Sheriff office in Kearney and see if I can collect any prize for you. What say ye?

Author's note: Scattered Thumbs said all this with his hands inside his duster pockets.

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney wakes from his slumber.  He can't shake the dream about "Alice's Resaraunt" on a train...and something about following tracks  As the cowbwebs clear he become cognisent just in time to she the lady make the man on the horse disappear.  Stoney also realized the "beard" he'd seen in the dark room 3 days ago was really a bandana.  No matter, the man was gone  He just plum disappeared.  What in all creation did I get myself wrapped up in.  I's best wait for ST.  He knows these folks better than me.  Ah! There's ST now.

[Stoney Pete]

"Doc, whatcha gonna do wit dem leeches?!?!"  "I'm much better, now. What's fer breakfast?"

Author's note: Leeches for breakfast.

MY 200th POST.    [/font][/size][/color]

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney walk his horse up to the porch and slips inside, shotgun in hand.  Stoney hears ST confront Slim.  He cocks both hammers and waits for the other shoe to drop.

[Scattered Thumbs]

Only then Scattered Thumbs notices the leeches. And one of them got a purple apron on?  

This is wierd.   <Shakes his head>

[Silver Creek Slim]

"That ain't the half of it, stranger. Next, Rod Serling is gonna show up and make a little speech." 

[Stoney Pete]

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
Rod Sterling

[Stoney Pete]

It may be said with a degree of assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears.
Rod Sterling

[Stoney Pete]

Hearing no rukus upstairs, Stoney open his scattergun and lowers the hammers.  While locking the barrels home he heads up the stairs.  In the room is the lady, a doc, Slim and ST.  Doc is holding a jar of leaches.  In the jar of leaches is one dressed like the man that disappered.  "Oh male bovine fecal matter", Stoney says under his breath.

[Scattered Thumbs]

Where did that strange music came from?

But never mind that. What's your answer Mister are you coming peacefully or not?

[Scattered Thumbs]

Having said that Scattered Thumbs suddenly disappears.

Only his hat remains on the floor 

[Silver Creek Slim]

"What happened to the stranger in the yeller coat?" 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Having said that Scattered Thumbs suddenly disappears.

Only his hat remains on the floor 

Inside the jar of leeches is now a new leech, dressed in a yellow coat.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother says nothing, but she blows imaginary smoke from the end of her wand.
