THE LOCO MOTION TRAIN WRECK
The Loco-Motion Train Wreck [starring Ardeth, Rick, Evie, and Johnathan]
This "train wreck" actually has nothing to do with trains. One day, I was listening to a song called: 'Do the Loco-Motion' from like the 1980's, and I had the funniest vision of dancing, I don't want to give away anything, so I hope you enjoy. Oh and don't mind the type-o's please.
On the sands of Egypt, stomped camels that carried familiar visitors. rick, evie, and johnathan were traveling in search of a mysterious artifact. What they don't know is that something has fallen out of johnathan's satchel. this object was reflective especially in the unbearable rays of the sun. it was a compact disc [CD]. Near the object came yet another familiar face, a face that has sworn to protect the world from the next apocalypse, a face that bears the mark of a true med-jai warrior, a face that--oops, sorry, I'll stop now.
"I have stumbled on a strange artifact," ardeth told himself, "shrowded in mystery."
"come my friends, we must decipher the origin of this artifact. A young warrior came up.
"I have heard many a legend of this, I believe it is a rounded pastry of some sort." Another warrior came up.
"it does not smell of pastry." He said.
"I think it's a horseshoe!"
"nonsense! It is a TV dinner!"
"it probably fell off of Madonna's dress!" then the uproar began to become uncontrollable, arguments of the object and its origin flew about the air.
"Quiet!" the uproar had silenced from the command of ardeth.
"it is well known that none of us know of this object." The tribe of warriors continued their stride on horseback through the desert.
"my lord, is it hot!" complained the weary johnathan.
"how do you think we feel?" was rick's sarcastic response. When the trio began to set up camp was when johnathan began to inspect his satchel. He then noticed that his CD and the rest of his belongings--including a portable boom box--was missing.
"very funny rick, rummaging in a mans' belongings like a common thief, do you see the empty bag evie?!" was what johnathan had said.
"look, I didn't take your stuff, I think it's that giant hole
you never noticed." Rick snatched the bag from johnathan and looked inside.
"congratulations, this hole is officially bigger than your brain." Joked rick.
"rick, that's not very nice" evie told rick. Eventually, the group of warriors had found the boom box.
"what is it?� asked one of them.
"looks like Madonna's earring"
"what is with you and Madonna?!" answered one of them.
"ugh, not again." Groaned ardeth. In the uproar, the boom box had revealed a hidden compartment. The crowd was again silenced, and astonished. The boom box revealed the CD player. Ardeth too, found this fascinating.
"Ishtar, hand me the artifact."
"the shiny thing right? Uh yes sir." Ishtar had obviously misinterpreted what ardeth had told him what to do, because he took out his scimitar instead of the disc. Ardeth made a face that just told you 'what is wrong with you?'
"just get the stupid round thing." Ardeth slapped his hand on his own forehead as he said this. He slowly placed the disc into the now revealed compartment, and painstakingly shut the box closed. Waiting five seconds, there came a song resembling 80's pop music. Then came the lyrics:
"...everybody's doing a brand new dance noowww�
everyone looked at one another with confusion in their faces. Ardeth was bewildered, and fascinated at the same time. He shrugged his shoulders and began to dance. The rest of the med-jai were even more confused, but because their leader was dancing, they simply shrugged their shoulders and danced along. It was strange to witness this phenomena, to see this tribe of desert warriors committed to the safety of humanity dancing away like an aerobics class gone wrong.
"is that my mix CD?" was johnathan's question.
"I better go check it out evie, it could be a strange occult performing an evil ritual" rick had said.
"be careful rick." Reminded evie. Rick had made his way to the strange sound, and this was his reaction:
"oh, heck no." rick had been flabbergasted by this anomaly he was witnessing. Then he shuffled through the crowd to find any sign of ardeth.
"arty! What the heck are you doin'!" shouted rick to
ardeth.
"relax, my friend, a man can party can he not?! Whooo! Get down wit'cha bad self!" rick's jaw had just dropped lower than usual at ardeth's words. Then he shrugged his shoulders.
"oh well, what have I got to lose?" then rick also danced
along.
"they stole my mix CD evie!" cried johnathan.
"what are we standing here for? Let's go join them."said
evie. So ardeth, rick, evie, johnathan, and the rest of the medjai warriors performed the loco-motion. Until of course, unexpectedly, a wormhole was opened to another dimension...
