[Trinity]

Trinity emerges from the brush and looks around.  Seeing the strangers' horses, he retreats again.

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney slowly draws the "papers" from his pocket, finds the one what says Slim and tears it to shreads.  "Ain't no bounty worth that.", he said while pointing to the jar. 

Some would call this a cowardly action.  Some would call it self preservation and they'd be very close to the truth.  The fact is Stoney knows when it's time to cut his loses.

"If this is how you protect your friends, I'd rather, be considered amoung them."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Author's note: You know, one of these days I should make up a name for the Frumpy Fairy Godmother. 

Oh, and thank you for the perfect setup for her, Scattered Thumbs!  )

Author's note.  Heading out.  I'll log in tomorrow and hope I'm still human.

See ya. 

Slim

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I'm hungry! How 'bout some breakfast?" 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"I'm hungry! How 'bout some breakfast?" 

"Sounds good to me!" The Frumpy Fairy Godmother takes the jar of leeches and heads downstairs. The poor doc just stands there, gawking. His mouth moves but nothing comes out but little squeaking noises.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim climbs outta bed, pulls on his britches, and goes down to the kitchen. Leaving the Doc behind making the squeaking noises.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

She places the jar on the countertop. Duke and Daisy put their paws on the counter to sniff at the jar.

"Anything I can make, you can have, Slim. What would you like?"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Eggs and bacon would be great. Thanks."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"What? No orange juice?" She winks, then makes a double pile of bacon and eggs, setting out five places.

"Trinity will smell the food and come in."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Yes, orange juice would be good, too."

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney goes out to his horse and puts the shotgun in the scabboard.  He comes in and sits down, hopping to get some more of the lady's hospitality.   Then he remembers his horse.  Goes out unsaddles and curried him down.  Gave some grain from the saddle.

Upon entering the house Breakfast was ready and there was even a place for him.  Stoney, still unsure if this was just hospitality or an "olive branch" thanked the lady and sat to eat.

Author's note:  Got DSL at home now.  That means I'll keep tabs from home more often. 

[Delmonico]

Authors Note:  Since Delmonico gave the FFg the lead to save the day, ya could change him back any time.  either that or he'll have to know the jar over, get out and hid in the Wedgewood and wait fer a victum.

[Stoney Pete]

Will you be bringing ST and that other fella back to the land of the human soon?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Perhaps in a bit."

As she moves to get the orange juice, Duke gives the jar of leeches a nudge with his nose. The jar topples over, crashing into a bazillion pieces on the floor. More quickly than the Frumpy Fairy Godmother can react, Daisy dives in and chomps up one of the leeches!

"Ack! No!"

The wand waves wildly and an unbitten, undamaged Delmonico is returned to normal. The leech with the yellow duster is safely crawling on the counter top. He's put in a new jar, out of reach of the pups.

[Stoney Pete]

Though there was no "love" between Stoney and ST, they were partners in this adventure.  They had worked together in the past and he did enjoy a solid professional relationship with him.  Seeing him still as a leech caused a twinge sorrow. 

It was short lived.  Stoney was still human and breakfast was good.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is tired after trying so hard to help and being turned into a leech. 

He puts his gall-osh-es on over his boots and says: "I'm followin' the Dismal down to Dunning and gonna catch the train.  I want to try out that new fancy dining car."

Ask for Alice.

[Delmonico]

I will, but I ain't eatin' no corn anywhere downstream from the ranch for another month or two.  Thats why I put on my gall-osh-ee's, Trinity used to eat a lot of corn.
