*We join this program already in progress.....*

 

The masked villain laughed evilly as he finished tying the last knot that held Sandra, Bot Creator Extraordinaire to the chair.

"You won't get away with this!" She cried out. "The bots will stop you!"

With a twirl of his cape and an evil chuckle, he replied, "wanna bet?" and dashed over to the programming console where, with a quick ratatat of the keys, reprogramed ALL the bots....every last one of them.

"Why?" Sandra asked. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I can! And with the bots help, I can take over the world!! Mmmmwwwahahahahaha!!!"

'Wait!' Sandra thought to herself, as she frantically tried to untie herself from the ridiculously complex knots. 'That voice! That laugh! They're so familiar! Whoever could it be?' Giving up on the knots, she cautiously lifted her leg whilst keeping an eye on the villain and arching her foot, tried to reach the remote for the new prototype bot she had been working on. One so new, so revolutionary, no one knew about it yet.

"There!" The villain cried out, vicious satisfaction in his voice. "Soon all the bots will be finding their way to me!" He fiddled with a small device that Sandra hadn't seen. "They will all come to this!" He held it aloft with a wicked gleam in his eye. "As long as I have this, the bots will follow me!"

Sandra studied the small device intently, trying to memorize all that she could see, but to her frustration, all she could tell was that it was silver and made a slight mweep-mweep sound. She almost groaned as her big toe touched the edge of the remote, only to send it skittering away from her. She jerked up straight as the villain spun around to look at her with suspicion.

"What are you doing?" He asked menacingly.

"Nothing." She replied innocently. "I'm all tied up with nowhere to go."

"Hmm." He narrowed his eyes at her, consideringly. Finally deciding that she couldn't possibly pose a threat, he whirled away in a practiced move that settled his cape around his shoulders like the wings of a great black bird.

"Now, to skedaddle while the goings good." He took one last look at the settings on the console and satisfied, took out a ray gun and turned it into modern art.

"NO!" Sandra cried. All her hard work! Melted. She narrowed her eyes at the dastardly villain, who, fortunately for him, was impervious to her glare. With one final evil laugh, he swooped out of the lab, holding the silver mweeping device aloft.

"Damn it!" Sandra fumed, she couldn't believe that someone had broken into her secret lab! Who was that masked villain? And why did he seem so familiar?

*Tune in next time when these questions may be answered.....Along with...how many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop....*

**********

 

*Last time....the evil villain has reprogrammed all the bots and Sandra, Bot Creator Extraordinaire, was left all tied up.....*

"Sandra?" Ashadmirr called down the stairs. "You down there?"

"Great! Does EVERYBODY know the location of my secret lab?" Sandra muttered to herself exasperated.

"Well, yeah." Ashadmirr replied, having heard her. "It's on Google."

She looked around her with great interest, never having been in a secret lab before. She noticed the melted hunk of plastic and metal that had been the programming console. "Oohhh what's that for?"

"That was a console. Ashadmirr? Have you noticed anything strange about me?"

"Always or just now?"

"Now." Sandra gritted out between clenched teeth.

"Well........you are tied up."

"And that doesn't strike you as being, well, odd?"

"Well, yeah but....it is your secret lab and all....." Ashadmirr's voice trailed off.

Sandra sighed, "Ashadmirr? Can you untie me? Please???"

"Oh! Sure! Sure!" Ashadmirr hurried over to untie Sandra.

"Hey! Sandra! You down there?" Savvy called down the stairs.

Sandra just shook her head. "Google huh? Yeesh! Yes!" Sandra yelled out.

"Cool!" Savvy clattered down the stairs dragging a flamethrower behind her. Cashew, Jac, Taggie and Morr weren't far behind.

"So, now who is Spike? Not vamp Spike because, well, duh!" Cashew was asking Jac.

"Oh, Spike was Savvy's pet dragon, but me and Morr stole him from her." Jac said winking at Morr. "Now he hunts her for us when she gets too rowdy. Hey! Taggie! Watch where ya put that trout!"

"Yes Mummy." Taggie smirked. "Hey! This place is cool!" Taggie turned around in a circle holding a trout by the tail.

Sandra looked at the newcomers and quickly walked away muttering under her breath.

"What she say?" Morr asked no one in particular.

"Something about Google and bombs I think." Cashew said shrugging; more interested in what was behind the big purple curtain in the corner. "Hey! What's that?" She said pointing to said curtain.

"Dunno? Beat's me." Came a chorus of replies. Cashew looked right, she looked left, and slowly sauntered up to the curtain. Just as she was ready to tug it down, everyone heard a distinct moo. For some reason Sandra began banging her head against a wall.

"Betsy! What are you doing here?" Savvy cried. "You usually don't make an appearance on this list! Unless....Milkie!!! WOW! You de-lurked!"

"Is that the same as de-cloaking?" Ashadmirr asked Morr who shrugged saying, "dunno."

"Well it was the strangest thing. I was walking Betsy when this cat came up to me and handed me this note for Sandra."

"You mean theCat?" Sandra asked.

"Um, no, A cat...ya know four legs, tail, whiskers." Milkie glanced at Sandra askance. "She's been down here too long hasn't she?" Milkie muttered to Cashew.

Sandra controlled the impulse to scream and yank her hair out. It was a near thing though. Just as she was about to explain the situation, the phone rang. All 130 of them.........

*Meanwhile across town*

The dastardly villain....

"HEY!! That's EVIL villain! E.V.I.L.!" The villain stomped his foot in rage.

(Ooooppsss! Sorry! The author typed as she rolled her eyes)

The evil villain (better waa waa baby boy?) stood on a desolate hill covered in scrub and held aloft his silver mweeping device. "Come to me my pretties! And your little dog too!" The villain cried out. "Hey! What dog???" (The author chortled) He pressed a red button and soon bots were arriving by the score.....


******


*When we last saw them.....basically they were in Sandra's secret lab doing what they do best....;)*


"Um, Sandra? Why do you have so many phones?" Morr yelled over the deafening din.

"I have NO idea!" She glared somewhere off page....*the author grinned with malicious glee* before picking up the nearest phone. Thankfully they were all connected to each other and the din abruptly stopped. "Hello!" She barked into the phone.

"SANDRA!" A distraught Donna sobbed into the phone. "MY BOTS!! They left me!! All of them! They just got up mid....well, they just got up and walked out the door!! WHY!!??"

"Well Donna, an evil...."

"Mine too!" Numbat2 cried on the other line.

"So did mine!" Lesley hollered.

"Mine just walked out the door!" Kiwikat69 sobbed.

A cacophony of voices assaulted Sandra's ears, as the Tweedy's protested their bots leaving, nothing she said penetrated the din. On the verge of hanging up, a hand took the receiver from her and Tori let out an ear-splitting whistle into the receiver. "Thank you." Sandra said in relief.

"No problem." Tori shrugged.

"Now everyone." Sandra spoke into the quiet. "An evil villain broke into my secret lab and reprogrammed the bots. He's going to try and use them to take over the world; we need to stop him. Any suggestions?"

Taking advantage of everyone's preoccupation with Sandra's conversation...Cashew again reached for the purple curtain. As her hand touched the heavy velvet, a voice boomed out as lightning and thunder crashed overhead. "Take no notice of the man behind the curtain! Pay attention to me! The great and powerful Wizard of OZ!!" Rolling their eyes, (even those on the phone rolled their eyes) they turned and stared at the author, who stuck out her tongue. *Sorry, couldn't resist* Cashew rethought her decision and beckoned to Savvy.

"Hey Savvy? C'mere? Pull this curtain down." Being the sweet innocent that she so vigorously claims to be, Savvy willingly walked over and yanked down the velvet drape. 100 volts of electricity ran through Savvy's body and curled her hair. Very prettily too. The lights went out. Everywhere. There was complete silence until Sandra yelled from the darkness.

"OKAY! Who touched the purple curtain!?" There was much shuffling and throat clearing and with a whir and hiss, the back up generators surged on, showing Savvy still clutching the tattered fried remnants of the curtain. "SAVVY!"

"I'm INNOCENT!" Crispy Savvy protested. "I was framed!" Uh huh's and suuuurrreeee'ssss came from those assembled.

"Oooooooooooooo." They then all ooooooo'd as one, for behind the curtain was something so awesome, so breath-taking, they didn't know what else to say........


*****

*We open this scene with Savvy looking a little crispy, Milkie still clutching the note a cat gave her, Betsy the vampire cow offering everyone strawberry milk, Sandra looking like an old fashioned steam engine ready to blow, and everyone else staring in rapture.........*

"OH. MY. GOD." It was a reverent whisper as they simply stood and stared. Cashew was the first to shake off the lethargy.

"Want. Take. Have" She grinned wickedly and rushed to the curtain.

"HEY!" Came a chorus of protest from the others and Sandra jumped in front of Cashew to block her. Growling, Cashew went to body slam Sandra out of the way, when a sound like a herd of elephants came from above.

"What the HELL is it now?!" Sandra threw her hands up in exasperation, giving Cashew the opening she needed. It wasn't a herd of elephants; it was the Tweedy's, all of them, come to help save the day! Well, okay, technically they just wanted their bots back but the end result would be that the world was saved and evil vanquished, but I get ahead of myself....;)

The Tweedy's crowded in the doorway of Sandra's secret lab, led by TheCat, who in her new role as moderator, decided that she should get her bot back first. Fluff was still protesting vehemently as ASHley tried elbowing Wyrmbath aside.

"HEY!" Sandra yelled. "You can't all fit in here!"

"Yes we can!" Came the shouted reply.

Meanwhile, Milkie had wandered over to another curtain that nobody had paid any attention to. "Ooooo." She whispered as she pulled back the curtain to reveal an Oliver bot. Quickly looking to see if anyone would notice, she tried activating the bot, growling when all attempts failed. "Sandra!" She bellowed. "This bot's defective!"

Sandra whirled around, rubbing her temples where a headache was steadily forming. "OH!" She yelled as she saw the bot. "I completely forgot! He's not defective; he's just in for some routine maintenance. A bunch of them are." She gestured to where dozens of bots were lined up. For some reason, no one had noticed them until now....... "Hmmm." Thoughtfully she stared at the bots and then back at where the, supercalifragilisticexpealidocious new bot stood. The new bot that Cashew was presently wrapping herself around.

"CASHEW! Get OFF him!" Cashew turned back to Sandra, pouting.

"Why? I saw him first!" Cashew whined, as she slapped crispy Savvy's hand away as she reached out to touch.

"Yeah, well, you can play later. Right now he's needed to help save the world. Sihaya, Fledderjohn, c'mere a sec." Sandra looked at all the Tweedys. She couldn't believe that everyone was here, even the lurkers, there were too many to fit. "Ya know, we need people to go out looking for clues...who is good at looking for clues?" Dozens of hands shot up in the air as Tweedy's volunteered. Sandra sent them out looking for...well, anything that might help find out the identity of the villain. The Tweedys needed their bots back. Oh and well the world needed saving too...

Left with a more manageable group, Sandra looked around. "Hmm, where's Dee? I could use her help a sec."

"Oh Shadow's home." Jac said with a wicked glint in her eye. "Don't expect to hear from Dee for awhile."

"Okay." Sandra sighed. "Well this is what we are going to do...."

*******

 

*When we last saw them...Sandra has sent out volunteers to go look for clues....Milkie STILL had the note...and Sandra was formulating a plan......;)*


"OH!" Milkie cried out. "I forgot!" She gave the Oliver bot one last longing pat before scurrying over to the others. "The note from the cat!" She held out the rumpled note.

"From me? I didn't send a note." TheCat was puzzled.

"No, from A cat not from you." Milkie looked at TheCat sideways.

Sandra sighed; this was getting weirder and weirder. Like some kid was dreaming and they were all stuck in his wacky nightmare. "What's it say, Milkie?"

"It says...'We have information regarding the bots...If you are wise you'll listen to us.' And then gives directions on where to meet."

"Hmmm." Sandra hmmm'd.

"I don't know....could be a trap!" McKela said. There were nods of agreement from the remaining Tweedy's.

"I don't care!" Donna pouted. "I want my bots back! We were just getting to the interesting part of the evening."

"Well, let me get these bots back on line and charge up Super."

"But Sandra, how will we be able to tell these bots from the other bots?" Pam asked.

"Well." Sandra grinned most wickedly. "What the villain doesn't know is, there's a failsafe on the other bots. If someone other than the people I made them for tries anything with them, the bots become immediately addicted to Twinkies. Will eat them voraciously, then, will explode." She chortled wickedly.

"So, we watch for the bots with creamy centers?" Giles second slayer asked.

"Exactly!" Sandra smugly replied. She got busy with the bots. (get your mind outta the gutter! She has to finish the maintenance program!) Everyone else gathered around the new bot.

"Wow." LadySD sighed, practically drooling. The other Tweedys could only echo the sentiment. Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious was simply stunning, he wasn't merely a bot, but was a combination of ALL the bots. All their best qualities ...Tweedy's research skills; Ripper's glare; Singing's voice; Tranny's legs; Training's enhanced musculature; Ollie's security skills; Tuxy's eye twinkle; James' titanium valves and Peter's undercover skills.

"Um people? Tweedys? Hhhhheeeellllllooooooooo????" Sandra fumed. "We have a world to save! Bots to recover!"

"Hmmm....do we haveta?" Sonneta whined.

"YES! We haveta! Now, let's go meet the person who wrote the note! The other bots are ready and I just have to activate Super. Let's go save our bots....um the world!" Sandra held a wrench aloft amidst Tweedy cheers......

***********


*When we last saw them.....Sandra, the Tweedys, the remaining bots and supercalifragilisitic bot were on their way to the setup.....um to meet the person with the note......*

"Well, this is where the note said to meet theeeee............." Milkie stopped dead at the abrupt arrival of three creatures from behind some bushes.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!" Voices screamed at the same time.

"Run! RUN!" Sandra screamed. "Save yourself!"

"Wait!" One of them said. "We're here to help." From somewhere music started to play as the three silver little people with green hair began to sing. "Oompa loompa doobededee.....if you are wise you'll listen to me......."

"Savvy? You bring that flamethrower?" Gin snarled.

Savvy aimed the flamethrower at the scary silver people with a savage grin.

"Wait!" Susie cried out. She had gone around the back of them....to try to get closer to Super....."What's this?" She was staring intently at a little tab that was sticking out from the neck of one of the dancing folk.

"What? Nothing!" He cried, slapping a hand over it. "It's nothing at all!"

Scowling, the Tweedys converged on the little people and after a quick tussle, "Hey! Hands!" Sandra yelled, slapping hands away from personal spots, they managed to tug down the tab. The silver suit fell away.

"HEY! It's not an Oompa!" Indy glared. "You're the Lollipop Kids!!!!!"

With an evil chuckle, the lead Lollipop Kid brushed his cowlick outta his eyes. "Why yes, we are! And we wish to welcome you to.....your doom!" He finished with a dramatic flourish.

"Pretty good." K2 admired. "Nice delivery."

"Thanks." He preened.

Eli looked at the three Lollipop Kids with a strange glint in her eye. "Hmmm." She mused to no one in particular. "I wonder if they're as tasty as Fraggles?"

"So what's a nice Munchkin like you doing working for an evil villain?" Sandra wanted to know.

"Do you know how hard it was to find work after that movie?" The shortest of the trio groused. "We were forever typecast." The other two nodded in agreement.

*Meanwhile on the other side of the clearing*

Betsy, who no one had noticed had followed them, spotted a black shadow coming out of the bushes. "Moo." She mooed a warning.

"What is it girl?" Milkie asked.

"Moo moooo moo moooooo." Betsy angled her head towards the bushes where danger lurked.

"Oh, it's okay girl, those are just bushes, they won't hurt you." Betsy rolled her eyes at Milkie.

"Moo mmooooo MOO!" She shook her head in exasperation. They always listened to Lassie dammit!

Milkie patted Betsy on the head and wandered back to the others. Donna, meanwhile has snuggled up to bot; never noticing the golden crumbs scattered all over its clothes....

**********

 



*We resume this program with Betsy pouting cause they always listen to a damn dog! Some Tweedys snuggling and everyone else chatting away at a crucial moment with three munchkins.......*

Sandra happened to look over to where Donna was giggling with a bot. She squinted her eyes at something glistening against tweed. She gasped. "Donna! Step away from that bot!" Sandra gasped again as she realized that there were way too many bots with them.

"Why?"She pouted.

"Cause it's a trap!" A menacing voice boomed outta the darkness.

"What?" Donna asked a second before the bot she was snuggling up to exploded, showering everyone with cream filling.

"Donna!" They all yelled. TheCat ran up to where moments before Donna had stood. She however didn't count on how slippery cream filling could be and wound up sliding 50 feet. BG-Girl ran after to try and help and she too wound up on her backside. The rest of the Tweedys ran to help the fallen Tweedys and well, lets just say it resembled a 50 car pile-up. ;)

Sandra just stood there shaking her head in exasperation at the bots that never let them know the other bots were there. Not even Super had said a word of warning. She kicked the nearest bot in the shin in frustration.

"Now, now." Came a voice from the darkness. "It's not their fault that they didn't say a word." The evil villain held a loft the silver mweeping device. "I deactivated their speech modules."

"Oh. Hmm. Is that why all the hand gestures, Super?" Sandra asked sheepishly. Super rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry, I just thought you wanted to....ummm....get friendly." Sandra blushed.

The evil villain bent down and handed the three munchkins an envelope. "Thank you. You did great. Listen, I'm gonna need some minions, you three interested?"

The evil villain whirled around as he heard voices clearing their throats behind him. He guffawed at the sight of so many Tweedys covered in cream......*very bad mental image....*

The Tweedys as one, glared at the villain. "Ya know....that voice, that laugh. He sounds awfully familiar..." Galeana mused wiping cream out of her eyes.

"Ya think?" Sandra asked. "I thought so too...but I can't place it. Hmmm. Hey, villain, laugh again."

"What? I'm trained to perform on command?" The villain groused. "I'm evil! You do what I tell YOU! Not the other way around. Bah! Enough of this chatter! It's time to take over the world!" He raised the device......

****************


*BRB* Uh hem....... *BUZZ* (sheepish grin) Sorry....I back now.....*We left our intrepid heroes trying to get the evil villain
to say more so they could place his voice........*

"C'mon.....say Super's name." Sandra wheedled. "I wanna hear that deliciously evil voice again." She all but purred.

"But Sandra." Numbat2 whispered in a stage whisper. "Won't that make S..EeeeOUCH!" Numbat glared at the winsomely smiling Sandra and bent over to rub her shin.

"C'mon villain! Ya know ya wanna...please?" She batted her eyes at the villain. "Just say his name out loud?" She pointed to Super's nametag. The other Tweedys, (all of them, for the Tweedys that went off looking for clues, found the clearing and were quite proud of themselves) caught on and added their pretty pleases. The evil villain blushed and stammered and finally gave in.

"Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious." He said in his sexiest voice. As soon as the last syllable crossed his lips, Super lunged and grabbing the villain around his ample waist, lifted him high above the ground.

"HEY!" The villain shrieked at the surprise move. "No fair! You tricked me!"

"Uh huh." Sandra was smug. "Why do you think I never say his full name? It's a little bug I haven't quite worked out yet." She shrugged.

"No matter." The villain evilly chuckled. "I still have this and I still have control over your bots!" He flourished the mweeping device.

"Tag!" Sandra yelled thinking fast. "The trout!"

Taggie, being quick on the uptake, whipped the trout at the villain's hand. "Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww." He screamed and dropped the device.

"Aww whatsamatter?" Tag said. "Big bad, bad guy afraid of a itty bitty trout?" She mocked.

"It's a FISH!" The villain shuddered.

"Kill the thing!" Sandra cried, pointing to the device. The Tweedys surged forward and they all tried to stomp it, but to no avail. They looked at Sandra. "Now what?" Jac asked.

Sandra shrugged at a loss of what to do. The bots were on the move; they needed to be stopped. Betsy, still disgruntled over the failure to communicate, ambled over to the device and did what cows do best, she made a pie.....The mweeping ended with a shuddering screech. The bots stopped, stumbled and looked around dazed.

The Tweedys cheered! The bots were back! Oh, and the world was saved!

Sandra turned back to the villain. "You are vanquished evil villain."

Sandra glared off page at the corny sentence. "Now, to see who you are behind that mask."

*Stay tuned for the thrilling climax of....'The Great Bot Escapade!'

************



*This is the thrilling climax of the Great Bot Escapade......*



Sandra reached up an eager hand and ripped off the villains mask. Gasps were heard from those assembled.

"BARNEY!" His name was a shriek. "But why?!"

"Why??? WHY??? YOU ever sing that damn song over and over??? And all those kids!" Barney shuddered. "Sticky nasty little kids with their clinging hands! Do you know how long it's been since I've gotten laid??? All because of that damn show!" Barney growled out.

"But, all the kids love you!"

"Love shmove! I want some action!" Barney barred his teeth in frustration.

Just then a black car pulled up and two men in black suits got out of the car.

"Okay people, if you'll look this way..............................."


*Ending credits*


What? There's credits??? No way! However.................

No Tweedys, bots, Oompas, Munchkins, big purple dinasours, Twinkies, trouts, Betsys or Fraggles were harmed during the writing of this.....whatever this is......;)

Any resemblance to any Tweedy, living or otherwise, was intentional, but just for fun...;)

A HUGE thank you to Sandra, Bot Creator Extraordinaire, for Betaing this...whatever this is...;)
