CATM Story Circle - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Luckymama58 · 10-13-2002, 08:50 AM

Well I am at it again. I think sometime that I should change my screen name to Crazymama from Luckymama.

I got this wild idea. A while back we had a role play on here that was HUGELY popular. Also a while back, a group of the fan fiction writers decided to try their hand at what I call a story circle. We took turns writing a story about a character based on Freddie. (we did this through private e-mails) Both of those ideas came and went and I had a ball doing both. Now I had an idea to bring back the story circle idea for the boards.

Here is the deal:

I am going to start and original CATM story. Since I am starting it, I have made the executive decision to have the set be the third season with Della living across the alley and Chico in his sexy batchelor pad instead of the cramped van.

Here are the rules:

1. Anyone can go in any order.
2. You can introduce new characters to the story at any time, but let us know something about them.
3. You can use any of the regular CATM characters you want.
4. Please limit your writing at any one post to about a paragraph or two, to allow for creativity among the group.
5. Please leave an open sentence at the end of your writing to facilitate the imagination of the next poster.
6. Please keep this in good taste (I hate to have to put that rule, you all are always in VERY good taste here! LOL)
7. Feel free to add pictures, if you want, to your posts.
8. This is an original work. It is like our way of writing new stories about CATM.
9. I will have a seperate thread for questions and comments, like we did with the role play. Please use that, so the story on this thread flows smoothly.

I hope that we won't have people posting simultaneously. That could be a potential problem. If so, I guess I will have to moderate it. Believe me, though, I won't be doing much in that respect. I know you all are a creative bunch, especially when it comes to CATM and Freddie I can't wait to see what you all come up with. This should be a hoot!

Well let me get the ball rolling. And let me know what you think of this idea on the "Behind the Story Circle Scenes" thread!

Luckymama58 · 10-13-2002, 09:13 AM

Chico had his head under the hood of a 57 Chevy, fixing the distributor for a friend, when Ed came out of his office door.

"Chico?"

Chico raised his head too fast and hit it on the upraised hood. "Ouch," he mumbled to himself as he rubbed his head with his hand. "Yeah, Ed, I'm kinda busy. Whatcha want?"

"Nothing, I just want to let you know that I am going to the bank and then to the auto parts warehouse. We are out of some things."

"OK, Ed, I'll be here with this motor for a while. I'll hold down the fort."

Ed Brown shuffled out of the garage and Chico went back to work.

Later, as Chico removed himself from under the hood, he turned around and ran smack into a pretty, young, female. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. She looked in her twenties and her sweet, high pitched voice rang in Chico's ears as she said, "Oh excuse me," in a breathless tone.

"May I help you?" asked Chico, being the gentleman that he was.

"Oh, could you?" she asked again, in that same breathless tone. "Could you hide me?" Before Chico had time to react to this odd request, a police siren was heard in the distance. The girl looked with a pleading despiration into Chico's large, chocolate eyes. "NOW?"

Karen64 · 10-13-2002, 02:42 PM

Chico seems baffled by the strange request, but being the witty guy he is, says, "You could hide in Ed's filing cabinet, but I don' think you're gonna fit in there...no offense!...He hasn't been able to find anything in there since 1952!"

MariposaLKB · 10-13-2002, 03:01 PM

The girl shot Chico a look that told him this was no joking matter. Quickly losing his dazzling grin, he offered, "Maybe you should try my apartment." The girl looked even more puzzled, with a touch of offended. "Where's that? How far?" she asked, trying to catch her breath. "Right over here," Chico took her by the elbow and led her to the small room at the back of the garage that had once been part of the storeroom and was now where he spent his off-hours.

Once inside, Chico offered the girl a seat on the couch and a drink of water. As he sat down beside her, she threw her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. Pushing her away after a moment, he exclaimed, "What was THAT for?!"

Joy · 10-13-2002, 04:47 PM

"That was for coming to my rescue I hope you don't think i am terrible but the sirens you heard, I am sure they were for me. Thank you so much for helping me."

Pitooey · 10-13-2002, 09:23 PM

Heh Heh........ I have a habit of helping everyone who asks me. May we try that again?

Karen64 · 10-14-2002, 07:57 PM

Chico grabs the girl by the shoulders and tries to score another kiss...The girl pushes him away and cries "get serious!" and says something in Spanish...

Chico says, "Oh, man, ...you really ARE in trouble, aren't you?"

"But before I can help you, will you mind telling me WHAT you did to get into so much trouble??" (while softly stroking her long, silky hair)

Pitooey · 10-14-2002, 08:05 PM

Well I Uh.......... just came from down the street and I noticed a man shuffling around. He was old and gray and a little dirty and he was drinking a bottle of bourbon so I....................

Karen64 · 10-14-2002, 08:14 PM

Chico stands back and exclaims "Ed! Ave Maria Purisima! What happened?!"

Cheryl Harrell · 10-15-2002, 12:33 AM

What? Chico asked. Is Ed alright?, he asked with concern in his voice.

The woman spoke with a spanish accent. Senor, she said. I was walking down the street & I found the old man passed out. I went over to see if he was okay & he was unconscious. So I ran to get him help.

Chico spoke his eyes filling with tears. No senorita, this cannot be. He has to be alright. He just has to Chico said.

She looked at him with a frightened look & Chico could sense there was more to the story than she was telling. Seniorita, you must tell me more Chico begged. Is he alright? Chico begged the woman tears welling up even more in his eyes. Please senorita!!!!

Senior, she spoke. Someone is after me. They tried to shoot me & I fear they have shot the old man meaning to shoot me. So I picked him up to try to revive him. The police came by & I could tell they thought I had something to do with it. So I ran as fast as I could to get away from them & to try & get the old man help...

(I hope I did okay on this)...

Luckymama58 · 10-15-2002, 07:00 AM

Just at this moment, Ed walks in and yells. "Chico?" Then he mumbles under his breath. "Where is that kid when you need him?"

Chico tells the woman to stay put in his apartment. He goes out into the garage, happy to hear Ed's grouchy voice. He goes over to Ed and grabs his face and starts to kiss his cheeks. "Ed, sweetie, baby! I am so glad you are alright!"

Ed pulls away from Chico, thinking he has gone crazy. "Of course I'm alright. But I ran into the police outside. Seems some wino was just shot. He is going to be OK, but they are looking for a woman. Long dark hair, blue eyes. Apparently she is a fugitive from another crime and now might be connected with this shooting. Have you seen anyone like that?"

hue_mee · 10-15-2002, 09:02 AM

" A fugitive!?!" Chico thought glancing back at his apartment. "Caray!" Chico paced back and forth nervously wondering why she was a fugitive. "Why is she on the run?" Chico watched from a distance wondering how could some one as pretty as she was be on the run. Turning back towards Ed Chico eagerly rushed towards Ed as he embraced him. "Thank God you alright!"

MariposaLKB · 10-15-2002, 09:22 AM

On the outside he is rejoicing that Ed is safe, but all the time they are hugging, Chico is trying to figure a way to keep Ed from finding out that his apartment is harboring the very fugitive Ed has just described. "Ay Dios mio, how can I get her out of here without Ed seeing her? The only way out is through the front door!"

Chico decides he must at least keep her in the apartment long enough to find out exactly what is going on with her. And if her story is believable enough, he chuckles to himself, maybe before he lets her go they can get to know each other even better!

"What are you laughing at?" Ed wants to know. Chico didn't realize he had laughed out loud, and has to quickly cover for it. With a grin he exclaims, "Oh, Ed, I am just sooo happy that you are OK! Why don't you go upstairs now and take a little nap? I'm sure all this excitement has made you tired."

Ed agrees and heads up to his room above the garage. As soon as he closes the door behind him, Chico goes back into his apartment and stands over the girl on the couch. "Now then," he demands, "Why don't you explain to me what this is all about?"

Joy · 10-15-2002, 10:45 AM

Lo sienta senor I do not wish to get you involved in my troubles it is just that I have no where else to turn and I am frieghtened.
I know i owe you an explaination but i don't know where to begin.

Pitooey · 10-15-2002, 12:48 PM

Just then Chico hears a noise outside the room. Shhh Be quiet!!! He tells the lady to stay put!

Chico leaves the room and he encounters two policeman waiting ......................
