  Chapter 6

As the ship gets thrown into a time warp, it heads back in time.  Spinning out of control, the members on the ship and the rest of the crew somehow are sucked into a big black hole.

 
When everything stops and all are accounted for.  They open the ship's door.  They all just look at each other, can't believe their eyes.. They are in a town.. a western town.  Back in the days of Matt Dillon... Dodge City
 
They step off the ship and  then take a look at each other... They all have on the western clothes too.  From the hat to the holsters to the boots.  They are in awe.
 
 
                                      
 
 
 
As they started to walk down the streets of Dodge, they could see a stage coach coming into the far side of town.  The children running, dogs barking, it was a town that was bustling.  No one said a word...
 
 
                                                               
 
 
They looked at the shops.  There was a dry goods store, a blacksmith, a little diner, a hotel, sheriffs office, bank and a saloon.
 
The saloon looked most inviting.. and what they all have been through.. a tall drink was in order..
 
 
                                                                 
 
 
 
 
 
Captain Camper and General Gray led the way.  They swung the doors open and couldn't believe their eyes...
 
There were saloon hall girls all over the place, and wait... OMG .. They looked just like the gals on the ship...  There was Val dressed in a slinky purple frock, Mags, why she was in the reddest frock you could imagine..Tweety was standing by the piano chirpping out a song. 
 
                                                                

 
 
 
 Tweety was dressed in yellow. Now that gal on the stage looks like Rosies, with bright red roses on her dress. 
 
As they look around some more they realize that the men are their clones.  Its like looking into a mirror, or on a monitor and watching yourself.  Gray is behind the bar, passing out the drinks .  Trapper is playing the piano,  and the sheriff... well he is Redbeard.  Codger is sitting at the table, dealing out the cards.  Bigguy is standing at the bar chatting with a gal named Ma Kettle.  Camper is in the kitchen cooking. .( that is his clone..thank goodness)
 
Gen. Gray leans over and whispers to Capt. Camper..
 
Gen Gray: " What in the sam hill is happening here."
Capt. Camper:  "I have no idea, Sir"
Gen Gray:  " Well, you had better find out and fast.  This can't be good"
Capt. Camper: " Yes, Sir"
 
Capt. Camper leaves the saloon and goes back to the ship to check things out.  In the mean time, back at the saloon..
 
Madam Maverick.. (who happens to be Val's clone).  Walks over to Gen Gray and offers to buy the man a sassperillie.
 
Gen. Gray:  "Why thank you ma'am""
MM:  "Your welcome Stranger, Where do you come from, haven't seen you in
            these parts before."
Gen Gray:  " We just dropped in a bit ago and wandered into town"
MM " Hope you stick around.  This is a nice quiet town, till the moon comes out"
Gen. Gray "Moon?"
MM " Oh yes, the gals here get wild when the moon comes out.  We have some gals
           that dance , like you wouldn't believe. They can kick up their heels and make
           an old coot smile from ear to ear."
 
Gen. Gray eyes the gals around the room, and is wondering what gal can kick her heels up the highest.
 
He walks over to the bar to Bigguy and says " I think that we are going to have some tomato squeezing time here." 
 
As the group from the ship wander up to the bar for their drinks , they hear a argument.  They turn just in time to see the sheriff hauling eddies to jail..  Eddies is yelling out for help. Looking out of the saloon doors , Gen Gray and the others can see that the moon is rising, and its getting a bit noisey in the saloon.
 
Trapper is pounding on the piano, and the gals are getting restless. The gals take off upstairs.  The music is getting louder and the ship's crew  are all at the bar drinking that tall drink. 
 
When all of a sudden, from upstairs comes a yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwww .... That Charlie comes running down the stairs as if the devil was after him.   He runs past all the crew and out the door.  There is a gal chasing him.... why she says she is Mrs. Charlie...
 
The gals all come down the stairs in a change of clothes.  They go to the stage and the music gets faster and louder.  The gals start kicking up their heels , the are doing the can can.  That Rosies is in the front leading the way. 
 
Madam Maverick sits back and watches her girls.  She smiles, cause Rosies has taught them well.  Gen Gray , and his crew take seats and watch the show. 
 
Sheriff Redbeard comes in and asks Gen Gray if that eddies is with him.. Gen Gray nods...Capt. Camper rushes back in , flustered.  He tells Gen Gray that someone hit the time warp button on the ship and that is what brought them back to this era.
 
The sheriff asks Gen Gray to step outside so that he could speak to him in private..
 
          

                        
 
 
 
 
Sheriff:  You had better get the guy a lawyer
Gen Gray: A Lawyer?
Sheriff:  Yup, and it better be a good one
Gen Gray:  Why?
Sheriff:  Cause there may be a hanging
Gen Gray:  On what charges?
Sheriff:  In this here town, we don't need a reason.Lets just say its political.
 
                                                
 
 
 
 
Capt Camper comes running out, yelling there is a fight... The crew is getting the tar beat out of them... The breaking of glass as one crew member goes through the window.  Another one is getting his head shoved into the piano., at the bar some poor soul has a bottle broken over his head.  In the kitchen there are cast irons being thrown around. 
 
 The whole saloon starts to spin .. round and round it goes.. where it stops nobody knows......................
