PEANUTS and Barney Live! In NYC Chapter 6: More Circus Fun, a Peanuts + Barney & Friends Crossover fanfic
Chapter 6: More Circus Fun
After the song ended, Barney chuckled as Charlie Brown, Schroeder, Heather, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Min, Tasha, Julie, and Carlos helped the elephant walk towards backstage. "So long, Mr. Elephant. Thanks for wondering by. Oh, don't forget to pack your trunk with peanuts on the way out. Good bye!" Barney happily waved.
"Bye, bye elephant!" Baby Bop waved as she came back onstage. "Oh, he's cute! He's funny!"
"Oh, he is." Barney chuckled before he introduced the next act. "And now, our next act features someone even stronger than an elephant."
"Ooh! Stronger than an elephant?" Baby Bop wondered as more circus clowns came onto the stage.
"Yes, much stronger. Here are his helpers!" Barney said.
"Oh the clowns!" Baby Bop said. The clowns then bent down and picked up a very big barbell. They then slowly made their way across the stage as the barbell was very heavy.
"See what they have there?" Barney asked as Baby Bop stepped away to watch, not realizing that she dropped her blankey.
"Oh, what is that?" Baby Bop asked in wonder.
"Oh, that's a barbell." Barney said as the clowns made their way over to their spot, and put the barbell down on the ground and on top of Baby Bop's blankey. "Oh, that sure looks heavy! Thank you, clowns. Bye, bye. I hope you feel okay." Once the clowns were off the stage, Barney was now ready to bring out their next act. "And now, Barney's Imagination Circus is proud to present, the strongest man on Earth...DEREK THE INCREDIBLE!"
With that, Derek, who now had big muscles, came onto the stage and stood next to the barbell. "Yes! I'm Derek the Incredible!" Derek said proudly as Baby Bop realized that the barbell was on her blankey.
"Excuse me! Excuse me, Mr. Incredible?" Baby Bop asked. "This big thing is on my blankey."
"That's okay. Because I'm gonna lift this barbell right over my head." Derek said with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Baby Bop said. "I'll wait over here." Derek then tried to lift the barbell, but apparently it was too heavy, even for him.
"Don't worry, I'll get your blankey Baby Bop." Derek said, like it was nothing to be worried about. He tried to lift the barbell again, but it wouldn't budge. "I can't get your blankey, Baby Bop!"
"Oh no! But, my blankey is stuck!" Baby Bop cried as she lifted the barbell like it was a pillow. It flew so high in the air that it ripped a hole in the tent. Baby Bop didn't realize it until she got her blankey back.
"Oh, did I do that?" Baby Bop innocently asked.
"Let's give it up for Baby Bop, the Incredible!" Derek said with a smile. The audience the applauded as Baby Bop walked with Derek backstage, now with her blankey back.
"Yay Baby Bop!" Barney cheered before he looked at the tent. "I never saw a tent with a skylight before. Oh well. Next in our imagination circus, we got a very special creature who knows how to fly. But he's not a bird, and he's not on a flying trapeze!" Marcie and Min then brought some special sticks to Barney. "Oh, why thank you."
"You're welcome." Marcie and Min said in unison.
"He should be here any minute now, so I'll just guide him in!" Barney happily yelled. "Right this way!" With that, Snoopy, now as the famous World War I Flying Ace, was flying on his famous Sopwith Camel, with Woodstock and BJ riding in the backseat, and Charlie Brown, Linus, Schroeder, Carlos, Lucy, Julie, and Tasha right behind them.
"Hey!" Snoopy happily yelled, waving to Barney as he, Woodstock, and BJ continued to fly around.
"Hi guys! Hi Barney!" BJ happily waved.
"Hi BJ! Barney happily waved back.
"Hi everybody! It sure it fun to fly with the famous World War I Flying Ace, and you can pretend to fly with us too during this next song. Just watch my friends and do what they do!" BJ happily encouraged. With that, they began to sing a song about airplane, with Barney, Barney's friends, and the Peanuts Gang holding their arms out like they were flying too.
Barney, BJ, Barney's friends, and Peanuts Gang:
Oh, we are flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Watching the clouds go by.
Flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Up so very high.
BJ:
Lookin' out the window, we can see the wings.
Down below, we see other things.
Like little tiny buildings and cars so small.
It makes me feel like I'm really tall.
Barney, BJ, Barney's friends, and Peanuts Gang:
Oh, we are flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Watching the clouds go by.
Flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Up so very high.
"Wow! Look at everything!" BJ said happily with Snoopy nodding in agreement.
BJ:
Pretending I'm a pilot is a lot of fun.
I think when I grow up, I really might be one.
But for now I'm just enjoying being in this plane,
Safe from the snow, and from the rain.
Barney, BJ, Barney's friends, and Peanuts Gang:
Oh, we are flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Watching the clouds go by.
Flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Up so very high.
Yes, we are flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Watching the clouds go by.
Flying in an airplane,
Lookin' out the window,
Up so very high.
After the song ended and applause was heard, Snoopy flew his Sopwith Camel to the center of the stage, and then it retracted as Snoopy was ready to land. "Captain Snoopy, coming in for a landing!" BJ happily said as he waved goodbye.
"Have a good flight!" Barney happily waved.
"Okay, bye, bye!" BJ said as the Sopwith Camel was now gone, and Barney gave the stick back to Min and Marcie.
"And coming up next, it's Kathy, Sally, Heather, Peppermint Patty, and their delightful dancing bears." Barney happily announced as Kathy, Sally, Peppermint Patty, and Heather came onto the stage carrying their own teddy bears. "Now, who're your friends, Sally, Heather and Peppermint Patty?"
"This is Fluffy." Sally explained. "He's my favorite because my favorite grandma gave him to me when I was a baby."
"I have Caramel and Velvet. I won Caramel at the carnival before moving to town. Velvet was given to me by an old friend in my old town." Heather added. "I love teddy bears."
"I've got Heather's other bear, Velvet." Peppermint Patty finished. "I misplaced my favorite teddy bear, Cupcake, but when I went to retrieve her, she was missing."
For everyone that wasn't the audience, Peppermint Patty lost her teddy bear, Cupcake, earlier (thanks, no thanks to the Winkster cleaning up the backyard), so Heather gave her Velvet, one of her own teddy bears, which the tomboy appreciated. Lullaby music began to play as they began their act.
Kathy:
Me and my best teddy bear
Sitting in my favorite chair,
We are going out to play
Just like every day.
Kathy, Sally, Heather, and Peppermint Patty:
I got lots of friends out there
And they're lots of fun,
But they're not my teddy bear
He's/She's my favorite one.
Just then, a bunch of live, teddy bears all came onto the stage, dancing as the music picked up.
Kathy, Sally, Heather, and Peppermint Patty:
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready to play.
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready to play.
Kathy and Heather:
You know; I've got a lot of friends that I play with.
You know, I've got a lot of friends who are fun.
But then they can't do anything like my teddy,
'Cause my teddy, he/she is the one.
Kathy, Sally, Heather, and Peppermint Patty:
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready for bed.
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready for bed.
Sally and Peppermint Patty:
You know I'm never really frightened at nighttime.
You know I'm not even scared of the dark.
'Cause with my teddy right here alongside me
I'm not even scared of a shark!
Kathy, Sally, Heather, and Peppermint Patty:
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready for school.
Me and my teddy, gettin' all ready
Gettin' all ready for school.
I got to leave him/her at home
By himself/herself all alone.
But he/she doesn't mind, and that's cool.
That's cool!
After the audience applauded, Ringmaster Barney came back onto the stage, ready to announce the final act. "Yay! That was Kathy, Sally, Heather, Peppermint Patty, and their dancing bears! Now, all of you are going to be an important help as part of this next act. Are you ready to help?" Barney asked the audience, which they replied, 'yes!' "Oh come on! Are you ready to help?!" The audience then replied 'Yes!' even louder. "Then let's hear you quack like a duck! Come on everybody!" Barney and the audience then began to quack just like ducks. "Wow, you sound so good that I wouldn't be surprised if some real ducks joined our circus. And here they come now!" With that, five 'ducks' came onto the stage, quacking as they waddled. "Hi duckies! Oh, look at the cute baby ducks. Alright. Everyone sing and quack along." With that, Barney began to sing a song about four little ducks and their mother duck.
Four little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack!"
But only three little ducks came back.
Three little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack!"
But only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack!"
But only one little duck came back.
One little duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack!"
But none of the four little ducks came back.
Sad Mother Duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack!"
And all of the four little ducks came back!
After the song ended and applause was heard, the five duckies went backstage, quacking as they waddled. "Bye, bye duckies! I'm so glad you all came back." Barney happily waved as he was about to wrap up the circus. "And that just brings us the end to our Imagination Circus!"
"Wait a minute!" BJ yelled as he came back onto the stage with Woodstock on his shoulder. "You haven't seen anything yet!"
"We haven't?" Barney asked, confused.
"That's right! Because we saved the best part of the circus for last!" BJ happily yelled as Snoopy came onto the stage, wearing brightly covered capes and smiling big. He then dropped the capes one by one, revealing himself to be Hugo the Great. "Hugo the Great!"
"Oh, of course!" Barney happily said. "How could we forget about Hugo the Great?"
"Bring it in guys!" BJ gestured.
"Bring what in?" Barney asked, curiously.
"Hugo's canon!" BJ said.
"His canon...whoa!" Barney said before jumping back at seeing the clowns bring in a real life canon, just like the ones stunt people use at the circus. Barney began to get panicky as he worried for Snoopy's safety.
"Isn't it cool, Barney?" BJ happily asked.
"I don't know if cool is the word. It's got stripes." Barney said, trying to stay positive as the clowns placed the canon in the center of the stage.
"Yes, Hugo the Great will become Hugo the Great Dog Canonball!" BJ happily announced as Snoopy continued to smile.
"Uh, Snoopy, I don't know if..." Barney tried to say, but Snoopy and BJ just ignored him as BJ described Snoopy's act with the beagle acting it out.
"In just a few moments, Snoopy will climb into that canon, and be fired high into the sky!" BJ said.
"Now, let's think about this for a moment. Shall we?" Barney asked, but they still ignored him.
"While in the air, he'll do three somersaults, touch his toes, and wave a flag!" BJ said.
"That sounds very entertaining, but I don't think..." Barney said, but they still ignored him.
"On the way down, he'll juggle six oranges, say the alphabet backwards, and..." BJ said.
"And what?!" Barney asked, worriedly.
"And Snoopy will land on a nice soft pillow." BJ said, like Barney was worrying about nothing. "Right Snoopy?" Snoopy and Woodstock shook their heads. "What? You didn't bring a pillow? Uh, didn't anyone bring a pillow?"
Barney then chuckled. "Oh BJ, I just don't think Snoopy can get shot out of a canon. That just wouldn't be a safe thing to try. And safety is very important." Barney said, with Snoopy shrugging his shoulders in agreement.
"Oh, okay. I guess you're right." BJ said, dejected but understanding.
"Oh, good. You had me worried there for a moment. But Snoopy, how were you even gonna fire that canon?" Barney asked, curiously.
"Oh, it's easy. See? Woodstock's got a remote control." BJ said, pointing to the yellow bird on his shoulder, who was holding the said remote. "And when Snoopy gives the signal, he presses this button."
"What's going on here?!" Charlie Brown asked as he walked back onto the stage.
"Oh, Barney talked Snoopy out of firing out of a canon when he gives the signal to Woodstock." BJ said.
"What? Good grief! Hugo the Great?!" Charlie Brown asked with a roll of his eyes. "What the heck? It's not loaded anyway. What was the signal, Snoopy?"
"Hey!" Snoopy exclaimed, and with that, Woodstock pressed the button, and Charlie Brown's mouth dropped as he saw who was in it.
"Yahoo!" The Winkster yelled.
"BARNEY, LOOK!" Charlie Brown yelled, pointing towards the Winkster who was now flying across the stage with the Barney Bag in hand.
"Oh, it's the Winkster!" Barney exclaimed as he saw him too and Snoopy growled.
"You'll never catch me, now!" The Winkster happily yelled.
"Oh, yes we will!" Charlie Brown yelled back, ready to get his surprise back.
"FOLLOW THAT WINKSTER!" Barney yelled as he, BJ, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock ran after him. The curtain then closed, and the Winkster began to run and dance around. "Hurry kids, get him!"
"There he is!" Heather yelled as she, the rest of the Peanuts Gang, and Barney's friends chased him, running in circles around the stage.
"Come back here with the Barney Bag!" Linus yelled.
"I'm gonna slug you so hard!" Lucy yelled.
"Not if I do it first!" Peppermint Patty yelled.
"Give us back my big brother's surprise, you silly!" Sally yelled. The Winkster then laughed as he quickly made his way to the left balcony.
"Quick as a wink! I'm up here again!" The Winkster yelled as he began to dance around.
"Oh, we'll catch you this time!" Barney yelled as he, Snoopy and Woodstock ran to the balcony. "We're almost there!"
Snoopy and Woodstock came onto the balcony, ready to grab the Barney Bag back, but then they realized that Barney wasn't with them. "Yipe!" Snoopy exclaimed as he and Woodstock saw that Barney was on the right balcony. The Winkster noticed it too and laughed.
"What are you doing way over there, Barney?!" The Winkster asked in jest.
"I guess I made a wrong turn somewhere!" Barney chuckled. The Winkster then left the balcony. "Oh, we better get him!" Barney, Snoopy, and Woodstock then left the balconies as the Winkster came back onto the stage, with the Barney Bag.
"You see boys and girls? Snoopy, Barney, and their friends will never catch me!" The Winkster said with a laugh, not realizing that Barney, Barney's friends, Snoopy, Woodstock, and the Peanuts Gang were sneaking up behind him. "What is it?" he asked before seeing the kids, dinosaur, bird and beagle and instantly running away in panic, despite their attempts to catch the little crook.
"That WAS a close one." The Winkster said, smuggily. "You almost caught me; but it looks like I get to keep the Barney Bag AND the surprise inside. Ta-ta."
"Oh good grief." Heather sighed. "We'll catch him next time, guys."
"There may not BE a next time, Heather." Peppermint Patty groaned, yawning a little. "You know, after a long day of fun, I like to snuggle with Cupcake and take a nice long nap. When I'm at home, she really helps me sleep."
"We know, Sir." Marcie sighed. "You DID bring Flapjack with you though. Maybe you dropped her on our way to the circus. We'll find her when we return."
"What if we never find her, or the surprise we made Chuck?"
"Peppermint Patty's right. I don't think we're ever gonna catch the Winkster." Tosha agreed in defeat.
"No Barney Bag." Julie huffed.
"And no surprise for Charlie Brown to show our friends in the audience." Shawn added.
"I thought catching him would be a piece of cake, but we were wrong." Franklin groaned.
"Don't worry." Barney comforted as Snoopy licked the kids' sad faces. "I'm sure we'll think of something."
"We could sign a peace treaty." Marcie repeated her earlier idea.
"Are you crazy?!" Lucy yelled. "Marcie, that's our absolute LAST idea we'll use. Besides, we wouldn't be able to catch him in time to sign the treaty."
"At least we still have each other." Schroeder reminded as he hugged Lucy, as did Sally with Linus.
"You know; we'll probably get an idea sooner if we're all happy." Barney recalled.
"But we don't feel happy, Barney." Reminded Charlie Brown. "Besides, it's just another reminder of how big a failure I am, even with imagination and friendship on my team."
"But you will feel better. Everyone here will if you just sing a very silly song with Snoopy and me. How about it? Will everybody sing a very silly song?"
"YES!" the kids in the audience cheered.
"Great." Charlie Brown smiled, already feeling better.
"Then all of you kids stand up and do what we do." Barney explained as all of his and Charlie Brown's friends looked at the two with looks of wonder on their faces. "Just the kids for this one. Come on now, stand up, kids."
Now excited, the kids got ready to sing along to a very silly song as Snoopy and Woodstock did the motions.
