Zindamatthew by Larry J. Hall

This story features the Lawrence brothers along with Jane Kaczmarek, Baby Puppy Matty, Tim Curry, Diana-Michelle Valverde & me as the King.

Once upon a time in a mid sized town, there lived a handsome dude named Matt. He also lived with a very wicked stepmother named Betty & her own natural son, Andy. Because they're were jealous over Matt's good looks, they nicknamed him,

"Zindamatthew!!!" called Betty.

"Yes stepmother." said Matt.

"I want you to wash the car. Then take out the papers & the trash or you'll get no spending cash!'

"But you never give me any money." pleaded Matt.

"Yakkity yak, don't talk back!" snapped Betty!

Matt lived in a small room where his only enjoyment is playing his ukelele. As Matt washed Betty's car, he saw some pigeons flying by. Then some of the pigeons landed on her car which Matt started singing,

"There's a pigeon on your car!"

"Shut that singing up!" snapped his step brother Andy, "Or I'll tell Mom on you! Meanwhile, you can polish my guitar! And if you play one single note, I'll get in a REALLY BAD MOOD! And don't cry like Lucy!"

Matt continued to dry up Betty's car.

Meanwhile @ a mansion, there lived a king, his daughter & his butler. The King was in the billiard room sharpening up his game. As he was about to shoot, his daughter interrupted him making the cue ball fall into one of the pockets.

"Daddy, are you going to have another birthday bash for yourself again?" she asked.

"I certainly am. Every October 2, I invite the kingdom to my party."

"Well, I wanna boyfriend. Someone who's muscular, charming & (sighs) has a romantic singing voice. I'd even marry him."

"You would?" asked the King, "Then I'll have my butler send out the invitations through e-mail! But first, I have to bake my own cake, the cook quit on me."

The King left the billiard room & headed to the kitchen to bake a birthday cake. As he did, his butler sneaked from behind & scared the King.

"Don't do that!"

"Sorry sir, I took a secret passage from the study! You have to live in the Clue house didn't you!"

"Vadsworth, I want you to e-mail invitations to the kingdom for the annual birthday ball/princess Diana-Michelle's find a husband ball."

"Very well sire." said Vadsworth, "I shall take the secret passage back to the study!"

Vadsworth used the computer in the study & e-mailed invitations out to all the kingdom.

Back @ the house, Matt was polishing Andy's guitar. As he went to put it back in Andy's bedroom, Andy was on the computer checking e-mail.

"Mom! We're invited to the King's birthday ball!"

"That idiot! He always picks on me after I won that car & cash on We Hate Men! with hostess Rose Nivens!"

"There's more, Princess Diana-Michelle is looking for a husband. But I'm too young for her."

"Age doesn't matter. Maybe we can get on Larry Stinger & have a big fight on television! Andy, we're going to the ball! I got an evil idea!"

"Can I go to the ball?" asked Matt.

Betty responded in her Ricky Ricardo, "No Zindamatthew, you can't go to the ball!"

Matt cried like Lucy as Betty grabbed him & locked him in his quarters.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

That night, Betty & Andy took the car over to the King's Clue mansion. Matt was in his bed feeling very sorry for himself.

"Man," he cried, "I wish I could go to the ball & impress Diana-Michelle."

Just then, he heard some fairy magic happened as the door was unlocked. He went out & discovered that he has a fairy godpuppy!

"I have a dog for a fairy?" asked Matt.

"Little kid dog wanted to be in the story." pleaded Fairy Godpuppy, "First, I need your ukelele, a bicycle & a watermelon."

Matt got all the things required. Fairy Godpuppy waved his wand & turned the bicycle into a motorcycle, a watermelon into a motorcycle helmet & the ukelele into an electric guitar. Then Fairy Godpuppy looked @ Matt's dirty old rags & changed his rags to a sharp dressed tuxedo. Matt got on his motorcycle.

"Remember, the spell ends @ 11:00 pm."

"Don't you mean midnight?" asked Matt

"No, 11:00 Central time!"

Matt drove off going over to the ball.

The King's party was held in the ballroom. Princess Diana was watching a jazz band performing. She saw a handsome dude name Joseph singing, then playing a solo on his electric guitar. After the song, she went up to him saying, "I want you!"

"Sorry, I'm already married!" showing his wedding ring.

Then the Princess met with Betty & her son, Andy.

"You're a little young for me Andy."

"What's age got to do with it. Let's get married Princess, choose me."

Just as she was about to kiss Andy, she heard electric guitar music on the stage. But instead of Joseph, she saw Matthew playing a red electric guitar & singing a love song. Diana went over to him & she started sighing.

"Oh he's got a romantic voice!!! He's the guy!" The King was having his orange cake, then opening birthday presents as well. Just as he was about to open one of them, (WHAM!) The King is knocked unconcious!

"Nobody leave," exclaimed Vadsworth, "The King was attacked with the candlestick! Who did it with the candlestick in the ballroom?"

Then, 11 chimes on the clock was heard. Matt had to leave the party before turning into dirty old rags. Vadsworth chased him until he lost him.

The next day, the police was searching for who knocked the King on his birthday. And Diana was searching for Matt as well.

They arrived @ their house. Betty denied & Andy denied that they had nothing to do with the King. But then, Matthew entered with a box.

"Officer, I know who conked the King! It was Betty, with the candlestick in the ballroom!"

"I deny it!"

Matt took out the box & handed the candlestick to the police. When they matched the fingerprints to the computer in a squad car, they caught their victim!

Then Matt's ukelele turned back into an electric guitar & he started singing romantically! Diana-Michelle found her prince! She took Matt back to the Clue Mansion where Matt would make out with her @ the lounge & they lived happily forever!
