[Time: Sometime after Season 3....although
highly unlikely, this could theoretically pass for a stupid season 4 episode.]
[Scene: Starts in Mainframe, at Bob's
apartment...then it proceeds to Bedrock]
[Theme song: Well, officially it would
be the "I come from the 'Net" yadda yadda yadda stuff...but I guess this
could be just as good...
Flintboot!
Meet the Flintboots!
They're a group right outta history!
From the town of Mainframe
They've ReBooted in a strange game cube!
OK, I know it doesn't go right at the end, but what the hell!]
Bob's apartment.........
Bob(with a laugh): "So, how did you get
that eye, Matrix?"
Matrix: "Well, I was first born with two
regular eyes and..."
Camera pans to a clock, and some `tick-tock'
music plays. We can see hours and hours (non-ReBoot time) go by.
Camera pans back to Matrix.
Matrix: "...and that's how I got this
neat little tatoo!"
AndrAIa: "Matrix, he asked you about your
eye, not your tatoo..just forget about it."
AndrAIa: "Hey, I know, how about we play
`Guess That Crustacian'?"
At this, everyone groans.
Dot: "But AndrAIa, you always win!
You do you expect us to know sea creatures like you do?"
Dot makes a few obscene gestures, but
these will be edited out later.
Mouse: "I know, sugah! We cheat!"
Camera pans over to Mouse, who's sitting
naked AND making obscene gestures. This will also be cleaned up for
final production.
Ray: "Yeah, Mates! Don't you think
it will be fun?"
Ray playes with his goggles, and accidentally
slaps them against his face really hard. This will not be edited
out.
Dot: "AARGH! Look, normally, I would
just kick Mouse out. But, the both of you are getting on my nerves!"
Dot pics up both Ray and Mouse, now wearing
clothes, and tosses them into the dumpster.
Dot: "There! All better now!
Now, how about we all make shadow puppets?"
Hexadecimal: "You weren't thinking of
doing that without me, were you?" Hexadecimal appears out of nowhere just
for fun.
Hexadecimal: "I love making shadow puppets!
Oh, look at little Enzo! Isn't it just funny how these things turned
out?"
Bob: "Well, actually, it isn't that funny
when you think about--"
Bob gets cut off as something cuts him
off.
"Warning! Incoming Game! Warning!
Incoming Game!"
Bob: "Look, the games landing right on
my apartment!"
Dot: "But how can you tell? We're
not even out--"
Bob: "But it is! Glitch is speaking
to me inside my head."
Dot: "Yeah, sure...."
That's the last thing said as the game
lands. Coincidently, the game doesn't go further than Bob's floor.

Bob: "OK, I think we're in the game. `Fred
and Barney Go and Make a Pool.' Some sort of pre-historic game.
Let's see what we reboot as. ReBoot!"
Bob rambles on incoherently as he notices
that Matrix is the main character, and Bob is his sidekick.
Matrix: "Relax, Bob! It's just a
game! So, who am I anyway?"
Matrix says that and camera shifts to
Bob.
Bob: "Uh, Fred Flintstone. That
would make me Barney Rubble. And AndrAIa appears to be a more-revealing-than-usual
Wilma Flintstone. And that makes Dot Betty. Enzo is Bam-Bam,
the child of the Rubbles...and...Hexadecimal is Pebbles, your child, Matrix!"
As Bob goes along, the camera shifts from
Matrix, dressed in an orange and black...cloth, then to Bob, who is wearing
the same thing but brown, than to AndrAIa, who is wearing something more
skimpy than usual. After AndrAIa, it goes to Dot, who is wearing
something revealing but not as skimpy as AndrAIa. Then we see Enzo,
who is holding a club and says nothing but bam-bam, and then we see Hex,
who, despite being a baby, still has a high-vocabulary. Bob turns
to Dot.
Barney(Bob)[low voice]: "So Betty, u-heh-heh-heh,
you wanna go inside, u-heh-heh-heh?"
Betty(DOT)[high, squeeky Boston-accented
voice]:"No, Barney, I don't, judging from your tone of voice. We
already have one child as it is."
Fred(Matrix)[mutters]: "Oh Boy.."
Wilma(AndrAIa)[nagging]:"Now, Fred, let's
go take little Pebbles inside."
Fred(Matrix): "Oh, but it's such a beutiful
day..I want to go bowling with my buddies. They're going to name
me Grand Pubah!"
Wilma(AndrAIa): "No, Fred, if you do like
I ask you I might put on something a little more loose, if you know what
I mean.."
No, this DOESN'T get edited out. This
type of thing is plausible in The Flintstones.
Fred(Matrix)[love-struck]: "A-hubba-hubbina-hubba..."
Wilma(AndrAIa): "Oh, and Fred? I
want you and Barney to finish that pool of yours after we're through."
Fred(Matrix): "That Rubble can finish
the pool all by himself. He doesn't need me!"
Barney(Bob): "Duh, but Fred! You
promised you'd help!"
Fred(Matrix): "I promissed nothing!
You're just making things up! Now, finish the pool!"
Barney(Bob): "Duh, I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll divide the pool, and finish my OWN pool! You
can finish yours!"
Fred(Matrix): "Fine! Be that way!
I've got to bring Pebbles in and help Wilma loosen up! [to Pebbles(Hexadecimal]
Come on Pebbles! Gootchie-gootchie-goo! Come on! Let's
go inside deary!"
Pebbles(Hex)[having fun with this]: "Carry
me, dada!"
Fred(Matrix): "Sure thing, Pebble-dear."
Matrix carries Hex in with ease and a
night passes. Lots of noises, not heard by the viewer, are heard
from the Flintstone house-hold.
Matrix goes out to finish the pool when
he sees Bob on the other side.
Fred(Matrix)[humming a tune]: "Du-de-dooooo.....[mutters
under his breath]Barney."
Barney(Bob): "Fred....[sarcastically]oooo!
I love my new pool. It's a shame Fred doesn't have his own finished...u-heh-heh-heh...."
Fred(Matrix): "All right, that's it!"
Matrix is about to pound Bob when they
hear "Game Over"
Bob: "I guess we beat the game!"
Dot: "No, AndrAIa and I did. We
offered Grandma Dynamyte, the User some cookies and used her own dynamyte
on her. All the time you boys were fighting over a pool."
AndrAIa: "But you know, I don't ever remember
Wilma or Betty ever dressing so skimpy...oh and we can't forget little
Enzo's part in this; he hit Grandma Dynamite on the head and knocked her
out while we stole the dynamite."
Matrix: "Well, I'm finally glad that the
viewers have finally 'seen' us have sBEEEP!--ex."
AndrAIa: "Yes, well I quite enjoyed it.
Oh, Matrix? I'm pregnant!"
Matrix: "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Matrix runs around in circles and rips
out some of his hair.
The END!!!!
OK, just so you know, I realise that neither
Wilma nor Betty had skimpy outfits in the actual cartoon, but I needed
to mention that for the purposes of the story.
