Assignment Number 2

 

“One Day More!” he shouts, as his final day closes in. Barack Obama, the last man on Earth, has survived as long as he can. His resources are gone, he has no friends or family left. He knew this moment was coming, but he had hoped it would not be so soon. They’re closing in on him. He has nowhere to turn. This is the end.

“Let us die facing our foes
Make them bleed while we can” he sings as loudly as he can with his last breath.

Then, there is just silence. Barack Obama is dead and the world as we know it is gone.

“Let others rise
To take our place
Until the earth is free!”

Belle’s Awful Taste in Men

This is my response to the Terrible Crossover Fanfiction assignment, for which you must use this crossover idea generator to create a writing prompt. I refreshed the page several times for two fandoms I have at least a vague degree of familiarity with. I settled on this one.beuterman.png

Writing this fanfiction helped me not take things so seriously. Sometimes, a little bit of ridiculous is okay, even preferable. Working on this was excellent comic relief between working on Physics and Expository Writing. Without further ado, here is the fanfiction:

It was a dark night. Belle was running swiftly, but carefully through the woods. She had escaped a decrepit castle after being captured and held by a frightening beast. She tripped over a hidden branch and found herself face to face with a tall, faceless figure. Tentacles appeared from behind its back and lashed toward her. Whack! The tentacles were intercepted by a familiar figure, the beast. He succeeded in driving the mysterious figure away, but he was seriously wounded. Belle decided to take him back to the castle to nurse his wounds.

“What was that?” Belle asked.

“The Slenderman” Beast answered. “He hangs out it the woods stalking and kidnapping travelers, especially children.” Belle felt her heart rate increase.

“You saved me.” Belle looked away. She noticed an ominously familiar figure in a window. “I see him, its the Slenderman!” she exclaimed. The Slenderman slithered through the open window. “Woah, now that I get a better look at him, he’s kind of handsome.” Belle commented.

“What!” roared the beast, “We are in grave danger and all you can think about is how attractive he is?” Slenderman readied his tentacles once again. Beast charged him. The two became locked in intense combat, they seemed nearly equally powerful.

“Wait!” Belle chimed in “I know a better way to settle this. I have romantic feelings for both of you, so why don’t we settle this with a beauty pageant.” Slenderman and Beast both tilted their heads in confusion but decided Belle’s suggestion was better than fighting.

Beast’s various living appliances set up a makeshift stage. The pageant was ready to begin. Belle sat alone in the judge booth. Beast and Slenderman emerged from the curtains sporting tank tops and hot pants. A new kind of battle raged late into the night. A battle of signing, dancing, and underwater basket weaving. The kitchen sink sulked, feeling dejected over having been the only item not included in the competition. Belle scratched her head as she carefully considered her options. Finally, she spoke. “The winner is, Slenderman!” She ran up to slenderman and grabbed his hand. The two of them ran out into the woods together.

“I can’t believe it,” Beast mused “I’m going to be a monster forever.”

King of the Hill meets Lost in Space

Below is my challenge and response for what is bound to be the worst fanfiction on this page of the internet

 

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining King of the Hill and Lost in Space. The story should use a secret government plot as a plot device!

Scene: The Jupiter 2, careening through space enters the gravitational sphere of an unknown planet. After crashing among some trees in a park, the crew steps out and are terrified to meet…a young boy on his bicycle!

Bobby Hill on his bike, stopping: Well there’s something you don;t see everyday…

Dr. Smith and the robot exit the ship, which is spewing smoke…

Dr Smith: I swear if it hadn’t been for my brilliance that we would all have perished

The robot: NEGATIVE. PROFESSOR ROBINSON HAD THE SITUATION PERFECTLY UNDER CONTROL. WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN NO DAMAGE HAD YOU NOT TRIED TO WRESTLE THE CONTROLS AWAY FROM HIM

Bobby: Cool! A robot! Hey listen mister, can you make sandwhiches, like, a stacked roast beef sandwhich with mayonaise?

Prof. Robinson and Will egress the spacecraft.

Prof Robinson: My gosh, what is this place? Everything is so…two dimensional.

Will: Look, all the trees look different from where you are looking at them!

Bobby: Uhh….so what brings you to our neck of the woods?

Prof Robinson: Young man, we have been looking for the alpha centuri star system, but our mission went awry, and we have been looking for a way home ever since. Is your father or mother around, could we talk to them?

Bobby: Uhhh…sure, I can go get my dad, I can bike home and get him.

Prof. Robinson: Good, and please hurry.

Major West exits the ship.

Maj. West: At last, the Alpha Centuri Star System!!

Prof: Williams: Wait, you’re telling me we made it to our destination? I thought we were supposed to start a colony, but there are already people here! Plus the world here is…strange. I don;t think it could support us.

Dr smith: Ah ha! I knew that all my actions would eventually bring us safely to our destination!

Maj West: But of course Professor, you couldn;t actually believe tht your purpose was to start a colony. Think how much money and resources we spent just bringing your family out here. There is no way we could afford a mass egress of people all the way out here!

Professor Robinson: But what is our purpose? Why did you drag my whole family into this?

Maj. West: We needed a family that would not cause alarm to the local population, you know, to look unthreatening. If the military came, we might not be able to complete our mission!

Professor: and just what mission would that be, that we need to look “unthreatening”?

Maj. west: We just need to bring back some of this two-dimensional material to earth. Once we have it, we can unlock the secret of converting 3D material to 2D! The amount of energy we gain from such a progress is staggering! However, if we come looking all official, this world will expect us to reciprocate by sharing knowledge of our own. We don;t want to get tied up in a long range diplomatic relationship. Too expensive. Its much better if we appeared to be in dire straits, so they won;t expect anything from us in return.

Hank Hill drives up with Bobby in a pickup truck.

Hank: Now Bobby, if you dragged me out here just because those teenagers are doing their liva-action-role-play again, then…Oh Man!

Hank: Well, uhhh…what can I do for you people?

Prof Robinson: Well, as you can see, we crashed on your planet. It won;t take us long to repair the damage, but we could use some fuel. Let me ask, do  you have any fuel rods?

Hank: Fuel rods? Well, uhh, I guess your technology is quite a bit different from ours…we don;t go into space everyday, but I could give you some canisters of propane…

Prof Robinson: Whatever you have, so long as you can run an engine off it.

Hank: Well, I suppose propane has been used to power generators…

Prof Robinson: Perfect, and thank you so much for your help.

Hank: Well, I’m just glad that we can be of help, and that you aren’t pointing a laser gun to my head.

Time passes…The crew of the Jupiter 2 Has made their preparations and are getting ready to take off.

Prof: Robinson, talking to Hank: Thank you so much for your help. I only pray that your two dimensional fuel will work in our three dimensional engines.

Hank: Well, if it doesn’t, I suppose you could stay here a while, there’s a house for sale down the street….

Prof Robinson: Well, hopefully that won;t be the case!

Dr. Smith walks up: Professor, I have finished connecting the “propane cylinders” to the engine and main control panel. We can blast off whenever you are ready!

Prof Robinson: Well, goodbye, thank you for your help, we won;t forget your hospitality.

The crew of the Jupiter 2 boards. The engine starts to rev up, then the spaceship explodes.

Hank, talking to Bobby: Welp, I guess they didn;t know as much about propane as they let on.

Bobby: Yep…at least we got to see a really cool explosion.

Hank: Now Bobby, what you just saw was a tragedy, even if they were aliens. I don;t want you to go telling your friends about how you saw an awesome explosion of a spaceship with livings things inside.

Bobby: Ok Dad…can we go watch a violent movie instead?

Hank: Oh Bobby…
