Keiko and the Unicorn

Keiko and the Unicorn is a fanmade episode of the Hanna-Barbera animated series Midnight Patrol: Adventures in the Dream Zone (known as Potsworth and Co. in the UK).
== Plot ==
(The episode starts with Keiko soaring through the Dream Zone on her skateboard without a care in the world. She pauses to see a unicorn sadly wandering by itself. The unicorn is white with a golden horn and a pink mane and tail. Keiko flies down, gets off her skateboard and pets the sad creature)
Keiko: Oh, you poor thing. Are you lost?
(The unicorn smiles a little and licks her)
Keiko: (laughs) That's a good unicorn.
(Elsewhere in the Dream Zone, Potsworth is enjoying a giant dog bone, Nick is playing with Murphy, and Carter is painting a picture of Rosie in a beautiful dress)
Rosie: Is it almost done, Carter?
Carter: Almost, Rosie.
(Carter adds the finishing touches to his painting. Keiko arrives, accompanied by the unicorn)
Keiko: Hey, everybody!
(Carter gets distracted and accidentally streaks his paintbrush across the painting, ruining it)
Carter: Oops!
Rosie: (comes over) What did you do, Carter?
(Rosie is furious when she looks at the ruined painting)
Rosie: Look at what you did to my own fashion dress!
Carter: It was an accident.
Potsworth: Humans are so hard to train these days.
Keiko: Hey, gang. I was skateboarding in the air, when I came across this unicorn. It's very lonely and it needs our care.
Nick: A pet's a really big responsibility, Keiko.
Carter: That's right, just like taking care of Potsworth is mine.
Potsworth: Why am I not surprised?
Rosie: Oh, all right. We'll be friends with him... (sighs) As long as I don't have to scare him or anything.
(At the Nightmare Prince's castle, the Nightmare Prince is watching the monitors. One shows the Midnight Patrol and the unicorn)
Nightmare Prince: Well, well... isn't this a pleasant surprise? The Midnight Patrol has a pet unicorn. If that unicorn was my pet, I would make it my slave and have the Dream Zone as my oyster. (His phone rings. He answers it)
Nightmare Prince's Mother: Son, listen... (gibberish talk)
Nightmare Prince: Alright, I've got an errand to run to get a pet of my own. Alright, I know how you feel. I'll try to sort things out, goodbye, mom. (Hangs up) IGOR! IRVING! SHORTY!
(Igor, Irving and Shorty come in)
Igor, Irving and Shorty: Yes, Your Sliminess?
Nightmare Prince: Take a look at what one of those Midnight Patrollers has that I can call my very own.
Igor, Irving and Shorty: Wow!
Nightmare Prince: Yes. That unicorn will make a perfect slave. Let's go out and capture it.
(Cuts back to the Midnight Patrol and the unicorn. Keiko laughs happily as she rides on the unicorn's back)
Keiko: This is fun!
(The unicorn whinnies as it strides around)
Nick: Can I have a turn, Keiko?
Keiko: Sure, Nick.
(The unicorn stops. Keiko gets off, and Nick climbs on. Then it whinnies again before striding around once more)
Nick: Whee!
Murphy: Woohoo!
Rosie: I still haven't had a turn!
(The unicorn stops beside Rosie, allowing her to climb aboard. It whinnies again and takes off quickly this time, causing Rosie to fall off and land in a puddle of mud. She's angry as she has mud on her face and her dress. Potsworth comes over)
Rosie: Don't say anything, Potsworth.
Potsworth: (sighs) The young lady never seems to learn. Um, Rosie, isn't that Murphy on your head?
(Rosie immediately notices Murphy on her ponytail)
Rosie: EWW! NICHOLAS! Get this slimy reptile off my ponytail!
Nick: Sorry, Rosie, Murphy thought he'd like a mud bath.
(Rosie sighs and faints face-first into the mud pile in disgust) 
(Cut to the Nightmare Prince and his henchmen watch from a nearby shrub)
SHORTY: Don't you think we should get something so we could travel incognito?
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: No need for that! I've got a plan that will distract those Midnight Patrollers from their new pet. IRVING!
IRVING: Yes, your Vileness?
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: I want you to pretend you're seriously injured. Igor, you and Shorty will try to shout as if Irving needs help. When they least expect it, the Midnight Patrol will soon notice that their new pet will be in the palm of my hand! (cackles)
CARTER: Come on, Potsworth, he's a very gentle animal. He wants you to be friends with him.
POTSWORTH: Hmm. I suppose it's worth a try. Only because he is Keiko's pet, so I must treat him with utmost care. Hello, unicorn. I'm Potsworth. This is my owner, Carter. We are your friends.
(the unicorn snorts gently at Potsworth and looks puzzled)
IGOR: (offscreen) Help!
SHORTY: (also offscreen) Somebody help!
MIDNIGHT PATROL: Huh!?
(The unicorn turns to the source of the cries for help. Igor appears onscreen, followed by Shorty)
IGOR: Oh, look, Shorty! A unicorn!
SHORTY: Maybe he can help!
IGOR: Our friend's hurt real bad! You gotta come help us quick!
(The unicorn follows Igor and Shorty)
KEIKO: No, wait!
(The Midnight Patrol follows the unicorn to try and stop it. Igor and Shorty lead it to Irving lying motionlessly on the ground, pretending to be hurt really badly)
ROSIE: Get away from them! They work for the Nightmare Prince!
(As the unicorn nudges Irving, the Nightmare Prince pulls a rope, trapping the unicorn in a net)
KEIKO: NO!
CARTER: He's trapped!
(the unicorn whinnies as it tries to break free from the net)
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: You just fell into my trap, my little one horned-friend. Let me take you someplace where you'll be more comfortable.
(The Nightmare Prince and his minions take off with the unicorn)
KEIKO: The unicorn's been... (sniffs) horse-napped.
NICK: It was your unicorn, Keiko. You told us to take good care of him.
KEIKO: I know. I should've been a little more responsible for him.
POTSWORTH: As I much as I hate to admit this, if we'd paid more attention to your new pet, I suppose he'd still be with us, right?
KEIKO: No, Potsworth, it was really my fault, and my responsibility. I was the one who met him in the fields and tried to bring him to this pasture for safe-keeping.
NICK: But I've got a hunch he won't be safe for long if we don't find out where is. (Murphy groans)
(The Midnight Patrol discovers a trail of hoofprints)
CARTER: Hoof prints! I guess they belong to your pet, right, Keiko?
KEIKO: It's possible. (gasps) They lead right to the Nightmare Prince's castle! Let's roll, Midnight Patrol! We've got a pet to save!
(The Midnight Patrol finally arrive at the Nightmare Prince's castle)
ROSIE: Eww! Do we have to go in there?! The Prince's castle is tacky!
NICK: Yeah. We have to save Keiko's pet.
ROSIE: No way! You guys go inside. I don't want to see that unicorn again... not after he ruined my dress.
KEIKO: Rosie, you're part of the team! We're going to get that unicorn out of that castle, with... or without you.
ROSIE: Okay, I'll come with you.
(The Midnight Patrol proceeds with Rosie lagging behind. They overhear a commotion coming from a higher floor in the NP's castle)
KEIKO: Wait, gang, I hear something above us. We'd better check it out. Come on, Nick
(Keiko and Nick fly up to a perch on the second floor of the castle. They peek in from the window and eavesdrop on the conversation)
Nightmare Prince: (offscreen echoing) Great news mom, I've got a pet. It's the unicorn that I found in the pasture... yes, I'm sure the care taking is in order... I've distracted the kids and that dog... and now I'll make him my slave...
(Keiko and Nick duck down from the window and fly down to Carter, Rosie and Potsworth)
CARTER: See anything, Keiko?
KEIKO: That voice was nothing to sneeze at... It's the Nightmare Prince. My unicorn's in terrible trouble, and we've got to rescue him before any harm comes to him.
(The Midnight Patrol makes their way through the castle)
NICK: Gee, Keiko, I bet your pet unicorn is feeling very sad locked up somewhere in the castle.
KEIKO: Me too, Nick. But I know we'll find him.
(They hear a sad whiney from down the halls)
NIGHTMARE PRINCE (offscreen echoing): Just think, my one-horned friend, soon you'll be my slave and my noble steed as I wreak havoc throughout the Dream Zone.
IGOR/IRVING/SHORTY: Ooh.
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: On top of that, I could a raise. I'm sure my mom will give me one for this.
(The Midnight Patrol ducks under the castle archives as the conversation continues)
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: Enjoy your stay, my one-horned guest. I can't wait to take you for a ride.
(The Nightmare Prince and his henchmen leave the room where the cell containing the unicorn is. They peek out of the separate alcoves)
KEIKO: Did you hear that, gang? If we don't act fast, the Nightmare Prince will use my pet as his steed.
NICK (yelling): Super Nick to the--
CARTER (covers Nick's mouth): Shh! Not so loud Super Nick, the Nightmare Prince will know we're here.
KEIKO (whispering): We only get this one chance to get my pet out. We can't let him become the Nightmare Prince's slave.
(The gang trudges around the dungeon of the Nightmare Prince's castle)
KEIKO: Unicorn, where are you? *echoes*
NICK: I hate to think about what might have happened to your pet, Keiko.
KEIKO: We don't know where the keys to my pet's cell even are. 
ROSIE: And the dungeon's full of cobwebs and dust!
CARTER: We must have walked around for 30 minutes.
POTSWORTH: About 34 long minutes to be exact.
(Keiko notices a map of the dungeon in a crack on the wall)
KEIKO: This should give us a clue! We're here on the bottom right, and the unicorn's cell is somewhere on the top left. But the keys to the cell are on the top right, so even if we get them, we still have to act fast.
(The gang runs to the top right of the dungeon, but when they get there, they're confronted by a skeleton)
CARTER: Leave this to me. I know how to take care of this guy.
(Carter paints a slingshot, then picks up a pebble and aims it a the ceiling. A decrepit stone falls on top of the skeleton, knocking it to pieces)
KEIKO: (goes into the room and finds the gold key) I FOUND THEM! I found the key! Let's head to the cell and rescue him!
(The Midnight Patrol goes to the cell room where Keiko's unicorn is locked up)
KEIKO: No need to worry, we're here to rescue you. All I have to do is unlock the cell and you'll be free.
(Keiko inserts the key into the lock and the lock falls off. The unicorn whinnies as it comes out of the cell)
KEIKO: I always knew you were a brave pet. Let's get you out of here before the Nightmare Prince knows you're gone!
(The Midnight Patrol runs back to the area where they started, however a loud stomp from the unicorn causes 100 pebbles to fall on top of Rosie, who is last in line)
NICK: What was that sound? Rosie, are you okay?
(Rosie's arms protrude from the mound of pebbles as she struggles to get out)
ROSIE: Nicholas! Get me out of this mess!
(Cut to where the Midnight Patrol had entered in the Nightmare Prince's castle)
KEIKO: The Nightmare Prince still doesn't know the unicorn's gone.
(An alarm in the Nightmare Prince's castle goes off)
KEIKO: I guess I spoke to soon!
CARTER: We gotta get out of here now!
POTSWORTH: Precisely, before the Prince knows Keiko's pet is gone.
NIGHTMARE PRINCE (off screen, above one floor): Trying to take away my slave, are they? Well, I will show those brats a thing or two!
(The Midnight Patrol exit the castle, but not before the Nightmare Prince notices the unicorn is free)
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: Well, we meet again, Midnight Patrol. I don't know how you managed to get that unicorn out, but you'll be sorry!
KEIKO: Show him what you're made of, unicorn!
(The unicorn flies up and battles the Nightmare Prince on the floor above. The Nightmare Prince tries to capture it with a big net, but keeps missing)
NIGHTMARE PRINCE: You're making me angry, you one-horned nuisance! Wait a second, what are you doing?!
(The unicorn eventually runs over the Nightmare Prince, flattening him)
(Nick flies up and sees the victory before him)
NICK: You did it! You saved us! After all, it was Keiko who depended on you!
(The Nightmare Prince's phone rings)
Nightmare Prince's mother: Son, I *gibberish*
Nick: (answers the phone) Sorry, ma'am, but right now your son seems to be a little... "hoarse" at this time. Please call again later. *giggles*
(Cut to the Midnight Patrol and the unicorn in the pasture. Keiko feels a little disappointed)
KEIKO: Well, I guess it's time for us to say goodbye. (Keiko hugs the unicorn) I'm going to miss you.
CARTER: It's time for you to start a new life.
POTSWORTH: I agree. Hopefully one that will be free of villainy.
ROSIE: *sniffling* For a big animal you were such a big help. That adventure almost ruined my hair. (Rosie admires herself in a hand mirror)
NICK: We hate to see you go, Mr. Unicorn, but we know you have others of your kind that you'll be happy with.
MURPHY: Uh-huh.
KEIKO: (her voice breaks down) I guess this is goodbye. You were a great pet.
(A rainbow appears on the cliff where the unicorn is, and the unicorn starts making its way to it, and starts walking on the rainbow it as if was a bridge. The Midnight Patrol watch as it disappears into the night sky)
KEIKO: I'll never forget you!
(Cuts to the natural forest where the kids are playing)
NICK: I guess that wraps up another adventure that you had responsibility for.
KEIKO: Yeah, Nick, he was a really good pet. But he had a new life to lead.
POTSWORTH: It's like I told you, young lady, a pet is a big responsibility.
CARTER: Potsworth's right.
KEIKO: Thanks for the encouragements, gang. I just wish I could find another pet.
ROSIE: But what if that crummy Nightmare Prince tries to treat it badly? We've already had two pets.
NICK: Yeah, so be happy with the one Carter has. (Murphy nods)
POTSWORTH: The young lad seems to have a point, Keiko.
KEIKO: I guess so. From now on, as the Midnight Patrol, we're going to stick together as a team, no matter what nightmares come our way.
(All of the members hug each other, and then Murphy gets on top of everybody else before crawling on top of Rosie's hand)
ROSIE: NICHOLAS!
NICK: Sorry, Rosie, Murphy wanted to be part of the group hug.
(Rosie sighs in disgust)
KEIKO: (To viewer) Some pets are temporary in life, and I think for a time, I was the one who had one to call my very own, even if it was temporary. But we still have Potsworth, and he'll always lead us in the right directions with his words. And we'll always have a dog to call our own, even if we do get in trouble. No matter what happens, Potsworth is Carter's dog, and he always knows what's best for all of us.
