queen can, and then suddenly thrusts the longsword through Sir Zodiak's torso.
Sir Zodiak grimaces and stands frozen for a moment, then falls to the ground
in a heap).

Sir Virgo, Jody The Red and an unconcious Rumiko: <GASP!>

Prince Panda: Woah. (Looks at Queen Furryous) Good one babe!

Queen Furryous: High five!

<slap!>

The Queen and the Prince smile and set off in a run for the stables.

Sir Virgo: That WENCH has killed Sir Zodiak!

Jody The Red: That wasn't in the script! Let's get them!

Sir Virgo: I'm with you!

Sir Virgo and Jody The Red run after the fleeing Queen Furryous and Prince
Panda.

Sir Zodiak: (Gets up and dusts himself off) (To Director) Hey Phil? What the
hell was that all about?

Phil the Director: Sorry big guy. The budget ran out and we had to alter the
script. We blew too much cake on the sets I guess.

Sir Zodiak: THE SETS?? There are no sets you incompetent boob! There's
just a white backdrop!

Phil the Director: Oh bloody hell, alright. Okay! NEXT SCENE PLEASE! LET"S GO
PEOPLE, PLACES! PLACES! <clap, clap>

Next Scene: Act 2 Scene 3

Setting: The Guest House

Sir Musica: (Crouching in a nearby bush) Ah! The fools think they can escape
by horseback do they? Let's see what the king has to say about this! (She sets
off for the castle proper).


Ten minutes later . . .

Sir Musica: Your majesty! <pant> They're escaping <pant> as we speak!

King Rob: The queen and the prince? Impossible! She would never leave
Spamalot!

Sir Musica: It's true <pant> I saw with mine <pant> own eyes! They <pant> are
making their way to <pant> the stables at this very moment! <pant> OXYGEN TANK
SOMEBODY??? <clunk>

King Rob: Can it be true? My queen taking flight from our beloved Spamalot? I
must see for myself! GUARDS! (Guards enter) Take me to the royal stable at
once!

INTERMISSION

Weird Man with extremely long arms: Where isssss . . . the fisssssh?

INTERMISSION OVER

Next scene: Act 3 Scene 1 - The Stables

While all of this is going on, no one noticed a fairly good-sized shadow move 
across the castle grounds.  Of course, in the moonlight, it tends to be hard to 
spot a shadow anyway.

If anyone bothered to look up, they would have spotted an airship that looks 
like it's been borrowed from Laputa, as well as a smaller, sleeker form emerge 
from it, descending on the fleeing duo as they make their way to the stables.

Her Majesty and the prince come to a stop as the smaller winged form swoops in 
low over them and unfolds like a metal origami creation.  He finally descends, 
revealing himself to be a red robotic-looking fellow in the moonlight, with a 
pair of barrel-sized devices on his shoulders.

"Your Majesty!  Sir Panda!  I'm Mackie, formerly of the Royal Air Guard!  I'll 
cover you while Captain Ward of the loyalist airship Kamome gets you out of 
here!"

As the airship slowly descends on the group, Mackie spots the pursuers from a 
distance.  Giving a big smile, he draws out an electric guitar and hooks it up 
to the two pods on his shoulders, which open up to reveal a huge speaker array. 
 "Let's see them withstand the Minmay/Basara/Mackie attack!"

Before he could let fly, the Kamome finally reaches an altitude to allow for 
the escape of the royal pair.  Captain Peter L. Ward's head sticks out of the cockpit and yells, 
"Your Majesty!  Quick!  Get on and cover your ears!"  As he says this, a rope 
ladder is tossed out the side of the airship and in front of the fleeing pair.

Panda (Save a tree! Don't print this spamfic out!)
