The Beheading of King Friday


With Mr. Rogers gone, King Friday has gained even more power within the neighborhood of make-believe. However, the neighborhood of make-believe has seen better days. It's run down and is another hapless victim of a bad economy. King Friday has done nothing but raise taxes since Mr. Roger's death in 2003 and no one has a clue where the money is going. Everyone in the neighborhood is getting suspicious because King Friday and Queen Sara are out of town quite often.

"Meow, meow, why King Friday gone so much?", asks Henrietta Pussycat. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out.", says X the Owl. X goes over to the castle and the only one there is Prince Tuesday. "Hi, X.", says Tuesday with his fake kid voice. "Where are your parents, Tuesday?", asks X. "They're out of town on business again.", says Tuesday. "Hi X, I'm babysitting Tuesday.", says Lady Aberlin.

So X goes on a mission and waits until King Friday and Queen Sara come back to the castle. He then finds out that they are going on a business trip again next Monday. Well, X follows them with his video camera. He discovers that Friday and Sara are spending up all the tax money in Vegas on blackjack and expensive hotels. "Those motherfuckers! I knew it all along!", says X the Owl. So X takes his evidence and goes back to the neighborhood. He calls everyone except Tuesday to his tree. "I have here the evidence to show you what King Friday has been doing with our hard-earned money. They are spending it on booze, blackjack, lavish hotels, and expensive prostitutes.", says X the Owl. Lady Elaine is horrified by the pictures of King Friday with three prostitutes.

"This is disgusting. Something must be done about this!", Lady Elaine yells. "It is time for the revolution everybody. I will overthrow King Friday and become King X the Owl. I will restore balance to the neighborhood of make-believe! Let's kill King Friday!", yells X. Everyone starts chanting, "Kill Friday! Kill Friday!".

King Friday and Queen Sara arrive home. All of sudden they see flaming spears shooting into the castle. The castle is on fire. Friday, Sara, and Tuesday all escape the castle. Then, Purple Panda scoops them up and ties them to X's tree. "What are you doing, Purple Panda, this is no time for games.", says King Friday. The trolley goes by the flaming castle and tries to go back to Mister Rogers' house ending the neighborhood of make-believe segment. Suddenly, a fiery rocket blasts the trolley into bits. "Not today, trolley. I'm gonna finish this one.", says X.

They bring out the mini-guillotine that Handyman Negri made. "King Friday, you are charged with treason against the neighborhood of make-believe. How do you plead?", asks X the Owl. "Not guilty.", says King Friday. "Meow, meow, fucking liar.", says Henrietta. "Bullshit!", says Lady Elaine.

They put Friday's head underneath the guillotine. The crowd chants, "Kill Friday, kill Friday!" With one drop, Friday's head plops to the floor. "The revolution is here. I now declare myself King X the Owl the 69th!" They strip Sara and Tuesday of their royalty and banish them from the neighborhood.

X throws a huge barbacue at the newly built castle. The music in the background is DMX's "X Gonna Give It to You". "Hail the new king of the neighborhood and his anointed queen, Henrietta Pussycat!", says Lady Elaine. "Mr. Negri, kill that big nosed bitch, please.", orders King X. Negri twists off Elaine's head as the new hip trolley goes by at an incredible rate of speed.
