[Fan Fiction] Mary Sue Stories

This one's set in tvperez's Stroll With Dorothy timeline, in which mild mannered software engineer Tony Perez winds up with Dorothy, and Angel ends up enganged to Dautsun. I hope you don't mind me playing in your sandbox, Tony. If you do say the word and I'll delete this. Needless to say, this is non-canon for the Strollverse.

The Ambush

The scene takes place early evening at the home of Tony and Dorothy Perez

**The bell rings and Tony and Dorothy walk into the foyer to answer it. They open the door, letting in Roger Smith, who has a friendly but businesslike demeanor. He enters and they close the door behind him.**

Roger:**shaking each of their hands** Tony, Dorothy, nice to see you both again. What's it been, two months since the wedding?
Tony: One and a half. It's nice to see you again too, Roger. Thanks for coming on such short notice.
Roger: No need to thank me. Always happy to get new business. You two needed a Negotiator and here I am. So what kind of case do you have for me? Client stiffing you on a bill? Problem with you business partners?
Dorothy:**nervously** Actually Roger, I'm afraid we have a little confession to make.
Tony**Breaking in** We really don't need a Negotiator.
Roger:**Perplexed** Then why did you ask me to come over?

**Tony and Dorothy look at each other, and then looked back at Roger**

Dorothy: Well, you see Roger, Norman and I have been talking about you and we've both noticed that you don't have a life anymore. All you do is work, eat, and sleep. You don't read. You don't go out unless it's part of a case. Norman even tells me that you've rescinded your rule about beautiful women visitors.
Roger:**Defensively** So what? I just happen to think that I needed to run my life in a more professional manner. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Tony: Dorothy and Norman were just concerned about you. You know, all work and no play makes Roger a dull boy.
Dorothy: Exactly. Norman and I thought it was high time you stopped this unhealthy behavior and started dating again.
Tony: **With pride** So Dorothy had the bright idea to set you up with her sister!
Roger: **Confused** What the hell are you talking about? Dorothy's an android! She doesn't have a...

**Just then a female figure dressed in red walks into the room from the kitchen**

RD: **With cheerful enthusiasm* Long time no see, ROOOOOGGGGERRRR SMMMIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
Roger:

**Suddenly there's a cloud of dust where Roger was standing and he's halfway down the street. RD leaps through the Negotiator-shaped hole in the door and happily bounces after him in a Pepe Le Pew-like manner. Tony and Dorothy, one arm each around each other, move forward to watch the departing couple**

Tony: Do you think we should have told him we've removed all her homocidal tendencies?
Dorothy: Don't worry, I'm sure he'll find out when she catches him.

Big Ben, that was a terrible trick to play on poor Roger! Sneaky, underhanded, and doggone funny! Well done, sir!

Pygmalion

Heh-heh. That's better than the scene that popped into MY head when mean old Tony stole Dorothy away from her true love:

NORMAN: Master Roger, I'm terribly sorry, but dinner will be late.

ROGER: What's the problem, Norman?

NORMAN: I'm having more difficulty than expected in scraping Tony off the bottom of Big O's foot.

Big Ben, not bad at all. I liked it immensely. Roger and RD would make a cute couple.

Uncle Tomato, all I can say is OUCH! I have heard of Back-Stepping treatment, but this is ridicules. I can see that Tony is well loved by Roger.

Well considering the number of cars and sides of buildings that have been reduced to scrap during Big O's battles, it wouldn't be difficult to cover up the murder as an accidential death. *In a scolding manner* After all Tony you know better to play in the street when the Megadeii get into a fist fight.

Edit: although if RD is scampering after Roger like the afore mentioned skunk, I think that Roger would be better off in a LTR with Angel. RD acting that way would be worse than 1,000 hyperactive schoolgirls with insane crushes.

** Inside the Central Paradigm Chapel, Tony and Dorothy were to be wed. They were holding hands as Norman was by Dorothy’s side and the priest concludes their marital ceremony. **

Priest: ** Completed his recital of the bible. ** Is there anybody here have a reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony: Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

** Suddenly, the ground started to quake, as the sound of massive foot steps could be heard from a distance. **

Dorothy: Oh no, I hope it is not him.
Norman: Miss Dorothy…err…Mrs. Perez, it seems he decided to attend the wedding after all.
Tony: ** Frightened ** W…w…Who could have possible caused this…

** The roof was ripped from the building as an enormous head peeked inside. Big O eyes were glowing as it stared at them. **

Tony: Dorothy, you didn’t mention that you had invited Big O to our wedding.
Dorothy: ** Staring at the Megadeus and shouting. ** Roger! What are you doing!
Roger’s voice: ** Slurring. **Sorry, hhhhhhhhhoney. I thought I should stop by and give you your gift.
Dorothy: You are drunk! Get down from there.

** The cockpit door opened up and Roger stumbled out. He jumps onto Big O’s hand and was gently placed on the chapel’s floor. An empty bottle of Bourbon fell from his hand and shattered on the floor. **

Roger: ** Barely able to stand. ** Hello Dori-girl. I hope I am not late.
Dorothy: ** Staring at Roger ** Roger, you are such a louse. ** Lifting her left hand, exposing her wedding ring. ** I hoped you would have been here sooner.
Roger: ** Defensive ** I would’ve been here sooner, but Big O insisted that we stop by Amadeus for a drink. ** Turns his head to Big O, pointing at it. ** You need to admit that you have a drinking problem.
Norman: Master Roger, I think you should have a seat.
Roger: ** Turns his head back to Dorothy, ignored Norman. ** I have a surprise for you.

** Roger grabs Dorothy by the hand and led her outside of the chapel. Tony and Norman rushes after them. The audience began to mumble. **

Roger: ** With a smirk. ** Whatcha think?

** Tony and Norman joined Dorothy, as the stared at Central Dome. Apparently, Big O used his laser to inscribe a message on the dome panels: DOROTHY, I LOVE YOU. TONY IS A TOOL! **

Those were hilarious! R-D going after Roger is priceless ... that needs an illustration ... better yet, an animated bit ...

And Roger being a drunk is always fun to write (see several pages back my bit about his drunken rampage against Paradigm).

And all being set in Tony's universe, perfect!

Thank you, glad you liked it. Of course, I wasn't that mean to Roger. After all, I did have the Perezes change her setting from Murderous to Amorous.

Then again, with the same amount of enthusiasm behind the Amorous mode, Roger might be endangered by death from exhaustion.

Yup, and RD will conveniently keep Roger occupied and divert him from trying to win back Dorothy as well.

Happy you liked it.

BTW, your wedding scene rocked.

Alas, I have no talent in that area, but anyone here who does is welcome to do so.

And put together chronologically they fit together.

Hmmmm, so who wants to tackle the follow-up, in which RD "catches" Roger?

You asked for it. Everything in orange was borrowed from Big Ben.

I am not sure about the ending, so if you can think up a better one, by all means post it.

[EDIT]: Added a little something for Zola.

RD: **With cheerful enthusiasm* Long time no see, ROOOOOGGGGERRRR SMMMIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
Roger:

**Suddenly there's a cloud of dust where Roger was standing and he's halfway down the street. RD leaps through the Negotiator-shaped hole in the door and happily bounces after him in a Pepe Le Pew-like manner. Tony and Dorothy, one arm each around each other, move forward to watch the departing couple**

Tony: Do you think we should have told him we've removed all her homicidal tendencies?
Dorothy: Don't worry, I'm sure he'll find out when she catches him.
Tony: ** Shouted ** Watch out for those hickeys. ** Looked at Dorothy ** If they’re anything like yours, he will be in pain for days.
Dorothy: You are such a… ** She was interrupted by Tony’s gaping kiss. **
Tony: ** He pulled away, still smiling. ** Shall I get the binoculars?
Dorothy: I will get the popcorn. I can't wait until Zola catches up with them both.

** Roger was running down the street. **

Roger: ** Gasping and holding up his watch to his face. ** Big O, it’s Showtime!
Norman’s voice: ** The watch began to glow. ** Master Roger, may I help you?
Roger: ** Surprised and still running. ** What’s this? Why isn’t Big O responding?
Norman’s voice: I am terribly sorry, sir. But, Big O and I are in an agreement on this subject.
Roger: ** Gasped, running into an alley way. ** What are you talking about?
Norman’s voice: We believe that you need to engage in the art of dating other members of the opposite sex. RD would be good for you. Have fun. ** The transmission ended **
Roger: ** Began to cramp up. ** Norman! She’s right behind me. Norman! Noooooooooooorrrmaaaaaaaann!

** RD leaped and landed in front of Roger, cutting him off. **

Roger: ** He fell to the floor, knocking over a trash can. On his knees, he picked up a trash can lid and held it in front of him, using it as a shield. ** Back! Stay Back!
RD: ** Smiled fiendishly ** Rrrrroooggggerrrrr Ssssmmmiiiiiiith!
Roger: ** Moved backwards. ** What do you want with me? I am not on your list. Please…
RD: ** Removed a red lipstick from her pocket. ** Who commands you, Roger Smith?
Roger: ** Began to tremble. ** I told you, I am not commanded by anybody.
RD: Wrong answer.

** Roger was awoken by the sound of music. He noticed that he was in his bedroom. So, he jumped out of bed and feverishly and headed towards the living room. **

Roger: ** He tried to act upset and pushed open the door, which led to the living room. ** R. Dorothy Wayneright! Why are you playing that? ** He looked to find her hidden behind the piano keys. **
Dorothy’s voice: ** Still playing the piano. ** You overslept 15 minutes and the eggs Norman made had gotten cold.
Roger: ** Rubbing his eyes. ** Dorothy, I can’t tell you how much glad I’m to see you.
Dorothy’s voice: What is wrong, Roger?
Roger: I had a nightmare; you fell in love with a pathetic Software Engineer and ran off with him! Then you tried to set me up with your psychotic sister.
Dorothy’s voice: That is silly. Why would I do that?
Roger: ** Started to walk towards the Piano. ** You’re right, Dorothy. It’s certainly was silly. I mean, why would you leave me for him?
Dorothy’s voice: I do not know. Tony’s not my type, Mr. Negotiator.
Roger: Hey, I never mentioned his name. ** Became nervous and laughed dryly. ** I'm being too nervous for my own good.
Dorothy’s voice: Why are you so nervous?
Roger: For a moment there, I thought you were RD.
RD: ** She stopped playing the piano and stood up. ** You are such a louse, Rooooggggeeeerrrr Ssssmmmmith. ** She gave him a violent kiss, then released him. ** Who commands you, Roger Smith?
Roger: ** Perplexed. ** You command me, RD.
RD: ** She smiled. ** That’s right, Mr. Negotiator! But, call me Dorothy. RD is so passé. ** She looked at his robe and slippers. ** So is Black! I am thinking about Red as our new color….

Mental whiplash! I need a splint for my brain!

At least Roger can give the right answer when locked in a clinch with a 287# android who is faster and stronger than him!

Pygmalion

That just HURTS. Poor Roger.

Psychotic, I like.

heh.

bout time somebody put crow boy in his place...

he certainly doesnt seem to be fighting too hard though, does he? hmmmm...

Methinks mr negotiator is a lil too comfortable being bossed around for him to admit...

again, heh.

edit: added thought: Roger in a red suit, with a Wainright-pattern android babe hanging off his arm, all dolled up? Pimptacular!

There is nothing wrong with a little psychosis to spice up any relationship.

Besides, she only shoots those unfortunate souls that are on her "wish list". The incident between her and Roger was simply a misunderstanding.

Originally posted by tvperez I am not sure about the ending, so if you can think up a better one, by all means post it.

Ahem. Unattached Roger Smith from the "A Stroll With Dorothy" universe is MINE, MINE, MINE!

*Zola visibly gets control of herself*

Here's your ending... or is it a begininng?

RD smiled at Roger Smith. "That’s right, Mr. Negotiator! But, call me Dorothy. RD is so passé!" She looked at his robe and slippers. "In fact, speaking of passé... I am thinking about red as our new color...

"I don't think so!" A voice at the balcony door made both of them turn. There was a sudden small explosion, and before either of them could react, two harpoon-like cables flew towards them, seeking the android.

They made contact and RD was surrounded by a halo of electrical sparks. "Damn you, Zo..." she fell to the ground.

"What the hell?" Roger studied his uninvited guest. It was a woman, that much was apparent. She was dressed from head to toe in black, down to the hood and the mask that concealed her face.

"That's quite a greeting, Mr. Negotiator!" Her voice was soft. "Aren't you supposed to throw yourself into my arms and show your gratitude for my timely rescue?"

"Who are you?" he demanded.

"A friend," she said simply. "I'm here to take RD off your hands. She wouldn't have hurt you, we've managed to remove the more dangerous parts of her programming, but I'm afraid she's still obsessed with you." The stranger smiled. "You look like you could use a drink. Why don't you get one?"

"Great idea." He was obviously still in shock. "Can I get you anything?"

"No, thank you. I have to get RD back before she fully wakes up." She unclipped a small box from her belt and pressed a button, and a robot similar to, but smaller than the scorpion bots that had attacked the mansion came through the open glass doors. "Another time, perhaps." She tapped out another sequence and the robot approached the prone android. A claw gripped RD's waist and slowly lifted her off the ground.

The woman checked to make sure the android was securely held, binding her hands and feet with straps that she took from a hatch on the robot. "Poor thing," her voice was gentle. "I'm sorry to have had to do this, but you can't just go off scaring people like that."

"M-m-m-m-ad?" RD's voice was slurred.

"No, I'm not mad," the stranger reassured her. "We'll get it straightened out, don't worry."

The android sounded unexpectedly childlike. "Rrrrroooggggerrrrr Ssssmmmiiiiiiith m-m-mad?"

"I don't think so, but you owe him an apology for barging in on him like that!" The woman's tone was stern.

"S-s-s-sorrry..." RD mumbled obediently.

"Apology accepted--just don't do it again!" Roger managed in response to the stranger's urgent gesture.

"Time to go home," the woman pressed another series of buttons and the robot carried the android off. She clipped the box back to her belt and turned to Roger. "My apologies for the inconvenience," she said. "I've been working to remove the command overlay, but it's been unexpectedly difficult. I had no idea that she would take off. I would have taken stricter precautions if I had realized she was capable of seeking you out."

The shock seemed to be wearing off. "Who are you? Why are you trying to restore that... that...." Words failed him.

"I'm a friend, that's all you need to know for now," she told him. "It was a pleasure, Mr. Negotiator. I hope to see you again under more congenial circumstances."

She turned to leave and he came after her, grabbing her arm. "You aren't going anywhere until I have some answers!"

She spun to face him, one hand coming up to caress the line of his jaw. "We'll meet again, Roger Smith." He winced at the sudden stinging sensation where her hand had made contact. "The worst of this will wear off in about ten minutes," she said. She suddenly sounded very far away.

He realized he was being guided to a chair but was powerless to do anything but sink into it. He heard the sounds of liquid being poured, and then he felt his fingers being wrapped around a cold glass. "Drink some of that as soon as you can--I've put the antidote in it," she told him. He realized she had leaned down and was looking into his eyes. "We will meet again, Mr. Negotiator. Count on it." Her lips lightly pressed against his and she put something in his other hand. When he could move again, she was gone.

Ordinarily, he would have dismissed the whole experience as a fantasy brought on by alcohol and dozing in his chair. Dreams, however, were not capable of leaving him a single, perfect red rose.

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

"Great job, Zola!" Tony congratulated.

She pulled off the mask and threw the hood back, pulling her hair free. "I don't know about this," she complained. "I make a lousy Tuxedo Mask!"

"Who?" Dorothy asked as the two humans dissolved into giggles.

"We couldn't have arranged your meeting better if we had planned it!" Tony said encouragingly.

"Maybe, but we need to take better precautions with RD," Zola said firmly. "I'm getting the commands weeded out as fast as I can, but there's so many of them!"

"I'll talk to her," Dorothy offered. "You've done amazing work, Zola. I wouldn't have believed it was possible to retrieve her at all!"

"It was the least I could do," Zola dismissed the compliment with a wave of her hand. "Come on, we have work to do. I need some help with that command structure you printed out for me." The two women left the room and headed down to the lab.

Tony poured himself a cup of coffee and chuckled quietly to himself. Roger Smith didn't know it yet, but he had met his match.

The sequel to "A Stroll with Dorothy" is "Hare and Hounds with Roger," I see. Well, I'm sure he can handle any number of women. Or androids. After all, he has his grappling-line watch.

Nice addition, Zola!

Pygmalion

Zola, as long as Dorothy is with me, Roger is all yours!

Good job, awesome as usual.

that was a good one zola

Heh. How's it feel to not be in control, Roger?

Cute, especially with Tuxedo Zola tossed into the mix.

The scene opens with Alex Rosewater in his grand and spacious office. Alex is at the window, gazing down on a Paradigm City with an arrogant smirk on his face.

Alex: The stage is set. Soon it will be time for the final act to begin. Big Fau...

Just then Alex's musings are interrupted by a man in an impeccable grey suit, followed by two security guards carrying boxes.

Ben: Ok guys, just put those over there by the desk.

Alex: **Snarling**What is the meaning of this?

Ben: Don't mind me, I'm just dropping off some of my stuff. You can go on with your soliloquy

Alex: **Angrily** Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my office?

Ben: Sorry, forgot my manners. I'm Ben Acosta, CEO of Paradigm.

Alex: **Indignant** That's impossible! I'm the CEO!

Ben: Not any more you're not. Contrary to your beliefs, Paradigm is still a corporation and not your personal fiefdom. And like any corporation, the CEO ultimately has to answer to the shareholders. And lets face it, your recent performance doesn't look so hot. Diiverting funds into secret projects which so far have failed to produce any revenue, antagonizing foreign powers to the point they are goaded into destroying company property, poor employee morale...the list goes on and on. The Board felt that your continued tenure would have a negative effect on both short term profits and long term financial health. So you were voted out.

Alex: **Indignant** But I control the largest block of shares! Even if everyone else wanted me out they wouldn't have the votes to do this!

Ben: We would after I obtained this. **Pulls out a document from coat with flourish and holds it in front of Alex to peruse**

Alex: **Shocked disbelief** Dad gave you his proxies? But..but why?

Ben: He was greatful for the barbecue I brought over. Even he can get sick of tomatos, you know. You should have treated him out once in a while.

Alex: But my plans! What about Big Fau?

Ben: Oh, that old thing? He's going to be disassembled and the parts provided by the Union will be returned to them as part of a new non-aggression settlement with them. Oh, that reminds me. **Presses intercom button** You can send her in now.

**Vera walks into the room with a satisfied smirk on her face**

Alex: **Alarmed** What's she doing here?

Ben: Oh, for another part of the settlement.

**Suddenly Vera produces a whip and lashes out. Alex gasps as it wraps around his neck.**

Vera: Zie Union gladly accepts zis peace offering from Paradigm! Ve look forward to showing zis treacherous cur ze error of his vays!

Alex:

Ben: I'm sure you'll all have a grand old time. I'm glad we could come to a satisfactory agreement.

**And with that Ben sat down in the comfy chair and smiled as Vera dragged Alex out of the room. He then spun it around to face the panoramic view**

Ben: This world has a new order! And it's a cool one!
