~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Griggs and Sean's Evil Mansion.

"You'll never get away with this!" Sally wailed.

"With what?" Griggs said with a sly grin.

"Kidnapping me like this."

"Kidnapping, but you're not a kid."

"Ok whatever, snatching me like this then," Sally yelled. "And I'm not marrying that creature!" Sally said pointing at Sean.

"Did you here what she said about me Dad!" Sean protested.

"Of course I bloody well did I'm not death or stupid am I!?" Griggs boomed.

"Maybe not death but you are a stupid git," Sally muttered to herself.

"What did you say!" Griggs boomed as Sally did one of those 'would I even say that' looks and Sean began to snigger.

"And you shut up!" Griggs yelled at Sean who quickly shut up.

"You will marry my son, and I don't think you have much choice," Griggs said with an evil grin.

"Adam will save me," Sally protested.

"Not if we get to him first," Sean grinned.

"You leave him out of this!" Sally screamed.

"Um... master. I got the cloth for you to shut her up with," Geoff said entering the room.

"At last, Geoff where the hell have you been?" Griggs yelled.

"I was... um," Geoff mumbled, he didn't want to let them know that he was actually listening outside the door for the last half hour!

"Oh never mind! give it 'ere." Griggs said snatching the gag and throwing it over to Sean. "You can do it." Griggs told Sean. "I'm tired of hearing her blabbers.

"Keep your head still!" Sean shouted at Sally who was moving her head from side to side. "OUCH!" Sean called out as Sally kicked Sean in the ankle. "You little..."

In the forest

"I'll never find her," Adam said feeling sorry for hisself.

"Don't give up hope, you'll find her," Stuart said to his friend. "Go and speak to the wise wizard, he may be able to give you some good advise and some clue's to where she is."

"You think so?" Adam asked.

"Yes I do, now go and take your sword, it may prove useful."

"Thanks Stu," Adam smiled.

"and be careful," Stuart said as he disappeared into the undergrowth.

"I will," Replied a voice which seemed to be so far away.

In the undergrowth...

"Haha hehe haha hehe."

"Who - who - whose there?" Adam asked confused a worried.

"Me," The voice said.

"Whose me?" Adam asked.

"Well you should know who you are," The voice said chuckling.

"Haha very funny," Adam said sarcastically. "Who's the person who said they're me?"

"Me," The voice said as a puff of smoke appeared in front of Adam and a little creature appeared. "I'm Rob," The creature said offering his little hand.

"And I suppose your an Irish Leprechaun," Adam said laughing.

"Indeed I am."

"Oh come on give me a break," Adam said laughing. "And I suppose you'll grant me a wish or give me a pot of gold!"

"I won't now 'cause you were being rude about me," Rob said beginning to sulk.

"Ok I'm sorry. I just haven't seen an Irish Leprechaun before," Adam said trying to make Rob feel better.

"Where have you been?"

"Now your gonna tell me there's loads of ya."

"I'd be lying if I said there wasn't."

"I haven't got time for your games, I've got a gal to save," Adam said walking away.

"Look out for the dragon in it's lair over the bridge of the troll," Rob called out.

"Yeah, yeah," Adam said walking away.

In the evil mansion...

"Them damn leprechaun's..." Geoff muttered.

"What about 'em," Grigg's said walking up to Geoff and looking into the glass ball.

"He didn't do as I told him master, he let Adam go and gave him some advise of what we've lined up in front of him."

"Right that's it! Pitbull got and get him here now!" Griggs boomed.

"Yes master," Pitbull said leaving the mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the undergrowth...

"Oi Leprechaun breath!"

"Who said that!?" Rob said turning roun in circles but no spotting anyone.

"Me," Pitbull said grabbing Rob by the back of his hood.

"Let me go!" Rob protested.

"No can do, the master wants to see you," Pitbull said dragging him away.

Outside a brightly coloured building...

Adam saw a big pink sign saying press here, so he did.

DING DONG!

"Hello?" Elaine said peering out of a small window and looking around for someone.

"Uh... hello," Adam replied timidly.

"Oh there you are," Elaine said peering down her nose through her spectacles. "Oh I know who you are, he's been expecting you."

"He has?" Adam said surprised.

"Oh yes, just wait a second he's just finishing with another client. Take a seat in the waiting room," Elaine said pointing over to a row a giant inflatable seats.

"So you think turfing out Kelly will do the trick?" A vioce said.

"Yes go for it Chris, she's a waste of space, she'll be making a pass at her ex - husband. You know, the guy who stands at the gate at that evil mansion," The wise wizard said.

"Yeah you're right, thank you oh wise wizard," Chirs said nodding his head.

"Bye Chris," The wise wizard said waving as Chris left the building. "NEXT!" The wise wizard yelled.

"I guess that's me," Adam said standing up.

"Oh yes Adam, I've been expecting you."

"Yer she said," Adam said pointing to Elaine who was painting her finger nails.

"Follow me," The wise wizard said entering his office. "Take a seat."

Adam sat down. "I need some advise, a ladie's been snatched by that evil Grigg's guy and his son Sean and I'm planning on saving 'er. I passed an Irish Leprechaun who said I'm gonna pass a dragon and a troll. I don't know if I believe him but I want to know if there's more."

"There will be a challenge when you reach the mansion, a guard who can be easily tricked, a wolf who is smart then Grigg's and Sean themselves. You also need to save the Leprehaun. After you left the wolf snatched him too. He made a deal with them that he'd trap you but he didn't. Leprechaun's aren't evil afterall."

"What if I'm captured?" Adam asked.

"You won't be, keep your cool. And them bursting bug's from Rowntree's. They're more than just sweets you know."

"What can they do?" Adam asked.

"I'll let you work that out for yourself," The wise wizard grinned.

"Ok, thank you wise wizard," Adam said leaving the office.

"Your welcome."

Adam left the office and then left the building and went on his way.

In the dungeon's of the mainsion...

Sally was rocking the chair she was tied to trying to get herself free. Then Rob had a brain wave, pulling a pen knife out of his pack pocket. He cut sally free and untied the cloth that was covering her mouth.

"Always comes in handy wherever you are," Rob smiled.

"Who are you?" Sally asked.

"Rob the Leprechaun, but you can just call me Rob," Rob grinned.

"I'm Sally."

"Everyone knows who you are," Rob smiled. "You father's been trying to get someone to rescue you for weeks. Don't worry Adam's on his way," Rob said trying to make her feel better.

"I just hope he gets here soon," Sally said with a worried expression on her face.

"He will, he will."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At a bridge...

CREAK CREAK CREAK the bridge went as Adam began to walk over.

"Get off my bridge!" A dumb sounding voice said, then a troll appeared. "Haven't you read the sign?" It asked. "it says only troll's by the name of Ronnie can pass over."

"Actually it says public bridge that can be used by the public," Adam pointed out.

"No it doesn't," The troll said, then noticing that it actually did say that. "Well... It didn't say that yesterday or when I last checked."

"Yer right," Adam mumbled under his breath.

"Ok, it never has but I live under it see, and I get annoyed when I'm trying to sleep and people just think they can walk over it when they want. It is midday you know."

"And people don't sleep at midday," Adam pointed out.

"Well I do, until at least 2pm anyway," Ronnie said frowning. "And you woke me up!"

"And you're a lazy git," Adam said in a stupid voice.

"Hey!" Ronnie protested.

"Well it's the truth."

"So what if it is?" Ronnie argued. "No will you excuse me, I need my beauty sleep, Good day. And watch out for the dragon." ronnie added before disappearing under the bridge into darkness.

"Dragon, probably just a lizard!" Adam laughed carrying on with his journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the evil mansion...

"Haha he think's it's a lizard master!" Geoff laughed.

"Well he'll be in for a surprise won't he!" Sean laughed.

"Indeed," Sean said beginning to laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside the dragon's lair...

Adam can hear roaring. "Come on come out and fight like a man."

"Well I can't fight like a man 'cause I'm a woman Adam, but I'll fight my own way," The dragon said appearing.

Adam gulped.

"Ah we look scared," The dragon laughed blasting out a big ball of flames at Adam who dodged it and fell to the floor. The dragon was in hysterics. "Not such a touch guy now are ya!?"

Adam jumped up while she was laughing, pulling out his sword. "Take that," Adam said swiping the sword at the dragon but missing.

The dragon was still laughing when Adam struck had stabbing his sword into the dragon's stomach. The could feel the impact of his sword going into the dragon's hard scaley skin. The dragon roared but all that came out was smoke, and she fell to the floor with a big thud. She disappeared and the body formed into a bow and arrow. Adam bent down and picked it up and put it in his backpack along with his sword.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dungeon's...

"Y'know what?"

"What?" Sally replied.

"I have a feeling."

"What's the feeling?" Sally asked interested.

"That Adam's near by," Rob said.

"Really!?" Sally said starting to feel happy.

"Actually to be honest no, them baddies nicked my powers. But there's no harm in being positive," Rob said with a meak smile.

"I guess," Sally said looking out of the window. "Come on Adam, where are you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the gates of the evil mansion...

"Who goes there?" George asked.

"I'm a friend of your master," Adam said.

"I can't recall him telling me that someone's visiting him today," George said to Adam.

"You're no good. My mate Stu they call him Recall 'cause he can recall things. They should 'ave him working on thses gates," Adam siad to George.

"I must 'ave forgotten about you, go on go through," George said opening the gate to Adam.

Adam walked through and was faced by Pitbull the wolf. "You let him through you prat!" Pitbull hissed at George.

"What did I do!?" George said trying to act all innocent.

"You let Adam through, the one whose trying to rescue Sally you dummy."

"But he said he was the master's friend," George whined.

"Don't believe everything people tell you, you idiot!" Pitbull yelled.

George and Pitbull both began to run at Adam who dodged out of the way making George and Pitbull run into each other knocking them both out cold. "Idiots!" Adam said walking up to the mansion. He spotted Sally and Rob up in the top room. Adam got his bow and arrow out of his backpack and fired the arrow up to the window ledge, a rope appeared on the end of the arrow and trailed down the building. Adam began to climb and eventually got up to the top window.

"Sal," Adam whispered as he pulled himself up into the room.

"Adam!" She said with relief in her voice.

"We thought you would never make it," Rob said to him.

"Nor did I, but I'm here now," Adam said hugging Sally. "Now come on let's go before they catch me too."

"You're too late," Grigg's said entering the room with Sean and Geoff.

"Jump!" Adam yelled as he jupmed out of the window followed by Sally and Rob.

"We're gonna die!" Sally cried.

"Never fear," Rob said. "My powers are back," Rob zapped in parachutes and they all got the the floor safely. He also zapped a beautiful white horse for Adam and Sally then he disappeared.

Adam and Sally rode into the sunset and lived happily ever after. Rob the Irish Leprechaun went back to live with his Leprechaun friends and was called a hero among his friends. Evil Grigg's and Sean blamed each other for ages until they began to blame George, Pitbull and Geoff.
