DISCLAIMERS: All of these characters belong to people who aren't me, and I pray that they can see the fun (and utter lack of profit) in my story and don't sue me. Besides, all that I own are worn-out Xena videos and several back-issues of Crack Whore Magazine - the ones with Cartman's Mom on the cover. Oh, and there's some "mature" themes, a heapin' helpin' of violence, Anglo-Saxon language, and poor celebrity voice impersonations.

THANK YOU: To Susan Adami for the fabulous Xena and Gabrielle gifs.

ACT I

1. STAN'S LINING ROOM. EVENING.

Kyle, Stan, (Eric) Cartman, and Kenny are sitting on the couch watching Xena: Warrior Princess on television.

KYLE: Wow! Look at Xena go! Kill him, Xena! Kill that dirty bastard!

CARTMAN: Yeah, Xena kicks ass!

STAN: I like Gabrielle, Xena's too butch. I bet she's a dyke.

KENNY: MMmhrrrmnn, hgnnnffrrmmm.

STAN: Uh, yeah, Kenny, I guess Xena IS the ultimate deconstruction of post-modern feminism.

KYLE: Wow, good point, dude. AND she's got legs for days!

Stan's Mom enters the room and turns the T.V. channel.

STAN: Mom! What the hell are you doing? We're watching Xena.

CARTMAN: Yeah, she was just kicking some more ass!

STAN'S MOM: Now, boys, you know I don't want you watching these violent shows. Look, here's "Jesus and Pals". Enjoy!

Stan's Mom exits the room.

STAN: God Damn it! I don't want to watch no f======================================================================g "Jesus and Pals"! I want Xena!

KYLE: Hey, maybe if we call in, Jesus can bring Xena and Gabrielle to South Park for real!

Kyle gets off the couch and dials the phone.

STAN: Don't be stupid, Kyle, Xena and Gabrielle aren't real.

CARTMAN: Yeah, dumb-ass! Heheheh!

KYLE: Shut up Cartman! At least I'm not a mongoloid crack baby like you!

CARTMAN: I...you...just...God dammmit!

On the television, the phone rings on the set of "Jesus and Pals".

JESUS: And here's our first caller of the day. Hello, my son, how may I help you?

KYLE: Uh, Hi Jesus. My friends and I want you to bring Xena and Gabrielle to South Park for a visit. Can you do that?

JESUS: Yes, Kyle, of course I can. I'm the son of God, remember?

KYLE: Dude! How do you know my name?

JESUS: That answer would again be "I'm the son of God", and besides, you're the only other Jewish boy in town. So, you want to see Xena and Gabrielle?

Jesus snaps his fingers and Xena and Gabrielle suddenly appear on the set with him.

KYLE: Wow! Awesome, dude!

STAN: Cool!

CARTMAN: Kick Ass! You really are the son of God!

JESUS: Of course, Fat-Ass, and I know your every thought and deed.

Kenny squeaks and pulls down his parka hood. The other boys shiver in fear.

JESUS: Now, let's welcome our guests from an alternate reality - Xena: Warrior Princess, and Gabrielle: Amazon Queen and Bard of Potedaia!

XENA: What the Hades is going on here? Who are you?

JESUS: Well, Xena, Hades and the other gods from your world don't exist anymore. It's just me and my Dad. I'm Jesus Christ: Son of God. Oh, and by the way, thanks for the donkey.

XENA: What the..? Is this another one of those "One True God" things?

Xena draws her sword and stands protectively in front of Gabrielle.

JESUS: Calm down, my child. Yes, I am the real One True God...mostly...

GABRIELLE: Where are we? How did we get here?

JESUS: Welcome to South Park. I brought you here at the request of some of my children. They really dig the show, and I think you're both pretty hot babes myself, but that's all the time we have for "Jesus and Pals" today. Next, stay tuned for "Marty's Movie Reviews".

KYLE: Hey, what a rip! We only get to see Xena and Gabrielle for a few minutes?

STAN: What a bunch of crap!

JESUS: I hear you, children, and because I'm the son of God, I'm way ahead of you.

As the credits roll on his show, Jesus snaps his fingers teleporting Xena and Gabrielle into Stan's living room.

KYLE: Holy crap! They're really here!

Xena points her sword at Cartman.

XENA: Alright, Fat-Boy, you're gonna tell me what's going on and how we get home RIGHT NOW !!

CARTMAN: (Crying) Oh, God, please don't kill me Xena...wahahah...

Gabrielle steps between Xena and Cartman .

GABRIELLE: Xena, calm down! They're just innocent little children!

Xena lowers her sword, but gives Gabrielle a LOOK.

XENA: Gabrielle, I HOPE you remember the last time we had this discussion.

Gabrielle folds her arms and quirks her eyebrow at Xena. Cartman continues to cry like a baby.

GABRIELLE: Xena, I hope you remember patting an empty bedroll.

Xena sighs in defeat and sheaths her sword.

XENA: OK, but SOMEONE'S going to tell me what's going on, and how to get home!

Gabrielle comforts Cartman as he sniffles.

STAN: Uh, hi Xena. I'm Stan, and this is Kyle, and Kenny, and that pathetic, sobbing piece of blubber is Cartman.

CARTMAN: Hey, you just shut-up Stan or I'll kick you in the nuts! (Looking up at Gabrielle as she holds him) I'm just big-boned.

GABRIELLE: It's not nice to pick on people who are different.

KYLE: Wow, Xena. Is she always so goody-goody?

Xena rolls her eyes.

XENA: It's been getting worse lately. Anyway, Stan, is there an Inn or somewhere we can stay tonight? I'll have to track down this Jesus character in the morning so he can get us home.

STAN: You can stay here tonight. I'll have my Mom get the guest room ready. HEY MOM! XENA AND GABRIELLE ARE SPENDING THE NIGHT, OK?

STAN'S MOM'S VOICE: Whatever, dear. But I don't want any bloodshed in the house, and lights out at 9 o'clock, it's a school night.

STAN: The guest room is down the hall on the left. We have to go to school in the morning, and Jesus isn't on TV again until tomorrow night. Do you and (gulp) G-G-Gabrielle want to come to class with us?

CARTMAN: Yeah, and kick our stupid teacher's ass?

KYLE: And kill his creepy puppet?

XENA: I'll see what I can do. (To Stan) Thanks, kid. Come on Gabrielle.

Xena exits the room. Gabrielle approaches Stan and kisses the top of his head.

GABRIELLE: Thank you, Stan for your hospitality.

Stan barfs on her feet.

GABRIELLE: eewwww...

Gabrielle exits, following Xena down the hall.

GABRIELLE: Xena?

XENA: Yes, Gabrielle?

GABRIELLE: How come our legs don't move when we walk?

CUT TO - STAN'S BEDROOM.

Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are camped out for a slumber party. Cartman is surrounded by a nest of food.

KENNY: HHmmmfffghfrnn.

KYLE: Yeah, it rocks that your mom let us all sleep over, dude!

STAN: I'm such a dork! I can't believe I puked on Gabrielle!

CARTMAN: Yeah, you got it bad for her, don't you? Stan and Gabby sitting in a tree_

STAN: Shut-up, you fat-assed pig-f======================================================================r! At least I didn't cry like a mongoloid crack baby!

KYLE: Yeah, Cartman! Why don't you stuff some more Cheesy Poofs in your big ugly mouth !!

CARTMAN: Oh yeah?! Well you can just go to hell, s======================================================================, @#$%&^^^*&%^$&&^#^6&$&#&& ----g!!

STAN: Whoa Dude!

Suddenly strange noises are heard from the guest room.

KYLE: Holy Crap! What the hell is that?

Muffled moans, groans, and rhythmic thumping sounds come from Xena and Gabrielle's room.

STAN: Dude, I think they're like, making sweet love.

KYLE: But they're not even drunk...didn't Chef say you have to get really drunk to get in the mood?

STAN: That was just for the pig and the elephant, cause it was unnatural.

CARTMAN: My mom says two women together is unnatural and Lebanese people will burn in Hell!

STAN: Cartman, you stupid ass-wipe! It's Lesbian, not Lebanese!

CARTMAN: That's not what Ellen Degenerate said.

The boys listen against the wall as the sounds get more frantic.

STAN: Wow, I guess this means I don't have a chance with Gabrielle.

CARTMAN: Like you ever did!

The sounds get louder, then stop.

KENNY: MMMhhhnrgfgtyypnntsssmmm.

KYLE: Yeah, Kenny I feel funny in my pants, too.

STAN: We'll have to ask Chef about Lesbians tomorrow.

Stan turns off the light and in the dark four pairs of blinking eyes slowly shut for sleep. Suddenly, the sounds start up again. All their eyes pop open.

CARTMAN: God damn Lebanese people.


ACT II

SCHOOL BUS STOP -MORNING

Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Xena and Gabrielle are standing at the bus stop in the snow. Gabrielle is shivering.

KYLE: Hey, Xena aren't you cold?

STAN: Yeah, it's like 20 below zero and you're wearing bathing suits!

XENA: No, boys, warriors don't get cold.

GABRIELLE: That's not what you said last night when you begged me to -

[HONK -HONK - SCHREECH!] The school bus pulls up violently. The doors open to reveal the Scary School Bus Driver Lady.

DRIVER: (To X & G) Who the hell are you?

STAN: They're the new exchange students from New Greaseland. They don't speak much English.

Xena and Gabrielle smile and nod, going along with Stan's plan.

DRIVER: Aren't they a little big for their age?

KYLE: Their country doesn't have an ozone layer, so the radiation makes them grow real fast.

CARTMAN: Yeah, mutants! Kick ass!

DRIVER: (Shouting at X & G) WELL, OK, BUT DON'T CAUSE ANY TROUBLE!

STAN: You stupid bitch! They're not deaf!

DRIVER: What did you say?

STAN: I said "I wish I could read the treble clef".

The driver grunts and they all get on the bus.

CUT TO - MR. GARRISON'S CLASSROOM.

Cartman is reading his history report. Mr Garrison (and Mr. Hat) stand behind his desk. Xena and Gabrielle are squished into child-sized desks, sitting near Stan, Kyle, and Kenny.

CARTMAN: ...and then Xena drew Excalibur from the stone and with the help of the Knights of the Round Table, drove Caesar and the Romans from Britain forever! And that is why Catholic people are no longer allowed in Britain.

MR. GARRISON: Eric, that was by far the most ridiculous and inaccurate report you have ever given, which is saying quite a lot. None of those events happened in the same century, and half of your subjects are fictional! You are definitely the stupidest and fattest child I've ever had the misfortune of teaching.

GABRIELLE: But that's how it happened! It's true! I was there!

MR. GARRISON: Mr. Hat, would you please tell this foreign mutant what you think?

MR. HAT: Well, Mr. Garrison, I think she's going to fail this class and be deported back to her inferior little country.

Xena stands suddenly and the tiny desk breaks away from her body.

XENA: You had better apologize to my friend, RIGHT NOW!

MR. GARRISON: Or you'll do what? Rub some of your tan off on me?

Xena snarls and hurls her chakram at the teacher. He screams and starts to dive behind the desk, but not before the chakram severs Mr. Hat's head (Mr. Garrison's hand). Mr. Garrison screams as blood spurts from his stump. The chakram ricochets off the chalkboard, the globe, and a statue of Demeter, then decapitates Kenny. His head rolls to the corner as rats descend on his corpse and carry it away. Everyone is stunned silent for a few beats.

STAN: Oh my god! You killed Kenny! You bastards!

XENA: Ooops. Sorry about that, kids.

GABRIELLE: Xena, how could you!

XENA: Hey! It was an accident! I'm not used to just two dimensions!!

MR. GARRISON: (moaning) Oh, Mr. Hat.

Mr. Garrison faints in a puddle of his own blood. Chef enters the room.

CHEF: What the hell is going on in here? I heard screams, oh sweet Jesus! Alright, children, who killed Mr. Hat?

GABRIELLE: That would be the "Warrior Princess Baby Killer" here. And what about Kenny? The poor innocent child.

Gabrielle bursts into tears and cradles Kenny's head in her lap. Suddenly, more rats appear and take the head from her.

XENA: Give me a break! I said it was an accident! (mumbling) demonf======================================================================r.

GABRIELLE: I heard that, Xena! You want to get into it right here, right now? FINE! Borias.

Gabrielle and Xena start to circle each other threateningly.

XENA: David.

STAN: Wow, a real cat fight!

KYLE: Mmrreoowww!

CARTMAN: Sweet!

GABRIELLE: Marcus.

XENA: Perdickless.

GABRIELLE: Ulysses.

XENA: Khrafstar...oh, I mean DAHAK!

Everyone gasps, and a tense silence falls on the room.

KYLE: Low blow, dude.

Chef steps between Xena and Gabrielle and puts an arm around each one.

CHEF: Come on now, sisters. Play nice. We've got to get you both out of here before the pig fuzz shows up. Children, why don't you spin a good lie for the police chief, and I'll hide our new friends at my house.

KIDS IN UNISON: OK!

Chef exits with Xena and Gabrielle as the sound of approaching sirens gets louder.

CUT TO - CHEF'S LIVING ROOM.

Chef is sitting between Xena and Gabrielle on the couch.

CHEF: Now, I know you two have some unresolved trust issues, but you've got to try and get along. A lot of people believe in the love you share and their lives would be empty if you broke up and the show ended. I'm not just talking about the women's prisons, either.

GABRIELLE: Wait a minute! What do you mean "show"? What people?

CHEF: You know, the TV show you two are on every week. Lots of people watch it and they'd be disappointed if -

XENA: HERA'S TITS! You mean you've been watching us?! Spying on our lives?

CHEF: Here, let me show you.

Chef picks up the TV remote control and plays a tape of Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena and Gabrielle are dumbstruck at the sight of themselves on the tele.

CHEF: I've got to get back to school and serve lunch. There's food in the kitchen, I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Chef exits as Xena and Gabrielle continue to stare, transfixed.

CUT TO - MR. GARRISON'S CLASSROOM.

Paramedics load Mr. Garrison(and Mr. Hat) onto a gurney as Principal Victoria, Officer Barbrady, and the children look on.

BARBRADY : OK, people, nothing to see here, move along.

PRINCIPAL: Ah, actually Officer Barbrady the children need to remain in class and you have to move along and find whoever committed this heinous crime.

BARBRADY: Right! Well, then, you didn't see anything and none of this ever happened, got it?

KYLE: Whatever, dude.

PIP: But , sir, excuse me, what about the warrior woman and -

STAN: Shut-up you limey bastard!

CARTMAN: Yeah, or I'll kick your ass back to France !

Cartman reaches over and bops Pip in the face.

PRINCIPAL: Settle down, children. Eric, you just wait until recess to beat on Pip like everybody else. Now, I'll be substituting for Mr. Garrison while he gets his hand sewn back on. Where did you leave off in the lesson? Ahh, here we are..."Polysexual Practices in Ancient Greece"_

CUT TO - CHEF'S LIVING ROOM

Xena and Gabrielle are sitting on the couch watching tapes of Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena is drinking a beer, with several empty crushed cans around her. Gabrielle is eating Cheesy Poofs. Xena finishes the beer, belches loudly and crushes the can against her head. She tosses the can in the pile.

XENA: Baby, get me a chocolate chicken pot pie, will ya?

GABRIELLE: Get it yourself.

Xena farts, then grunts, scratches her ass, and pops open another beer.

CUT TO - SCHOOL CAFETERIA

Chef is serving lunch as Stan, Kyle, and Cartman approach the counter.

CHEF: Hello, children. What can I get for you today? The special is Mongolian Beef.

STAN: Chef, what do you know about Lesbians?

CHEF: Hhhmmm, I only know as much as any man can about Lesbians; from what I watch on pay-per-view, but I'll try to explain. You see, children, sometimes two women who care about each other very much express their feelings by making sweet love in front of a camera crew.

The "Greco-Roman Funk Explosion" lays down a slow, sexy groove. The children's eyes get bigger and their mouths hang open as Chef continues.

CHEF: Oooohh, yeah, they rub their soft, sexy bodies together, slide their hot wet tongues around and mmm...mmmm...(singing): I'm gonna love ya, Warrior Princess, and keep you satisfied Gonna make me an Amazon Sandwich, and love ya through the night!

KYLE: Chef, what the hell are you talking about?

The soul train derails as the music stops and Chef snaps back to reality.

CHEF: Oh,uh, sorry, children, I was saving that for later_so do you understand about Lesbians now?

BOYS IN UNISON: No!

CHEF: Good, glad I could help. I've got to go home and check on Xena and Gabrielle - RIGHT NOW!

Chef exits. The boys stand there blinking for a few beats.

CARTMAN: Hey, what about my Mongolian Beef? God Dammit!

CUT TO - CHEF'S LIVING ROOM

Xena and Gabrielle are slumped on the couch watching themselves on TV. Empty bags of Cheesy Poofs and dead beer cans litter the room.

GABRIELLE: Wow! This is fascinating!

XENA: Gives me the creeps (belch).

GABRIELLE: I mean the way they manage to always cut away to - what did they call it - "commercials" whenever we're about to, you know_

XENA: Do the "Bacchae Boogie"?

GABRIELLE: Yeah...Xena, maybe Chef's right. Our love has activated powerful goddess archetypes in the collective unconscious of an oppressive monotheistic patriarchal society. That's not something to throw away because of a petty argument.

XENA: Whatever, babe. Does this mean I get some tonight?

GABRIELLE: For the betterment of future generations? Oh, alright.

Xena takes Gabrielle in her arms and clears the beer cans off the couch.

XENA: I love it when you talk dirty.

They start making out on the couch, and don't notice when Chef comes home. Chef enters the living room as the "Greco-Roman Funk Explosion" picks up the groove again.

CHEF: Mmmm, mmmm_...'m gonna save $5.95 tonight! Hey, sisters, save some of that sugar for the Gourmet of Love.


ACT III

SCHOOL YARD - AFTERNOON

Stan, Kyle, and Cartman are standing in the playground. Several other children play nearby.

STAN: God Damn it! Now I'm even more confused about Lesbians.

KYLE: Yeah, I thought Chef would know for sure...maybe we should watch pay-per-view.

CARTMAN: I still say they're gonna burn in Hell.

KYLE: Damn it, Cartman! The only thing that's gonna burn is your fat-ass when you mom's next trick drops his crack pipe in the bed!

CARTMAN: Shut-up, you dirty Jew! I'm not the one going around all day dressed in leather with a whip, throwing a round killing thing and talking Lebanese and making little boys crawl on their hands and knees naked looking for the lighter under the bed but there's too much smoke and I can't see -

STAN: Cartman! What the hell are you talking about?

Suddenly strains of "Carmina Burana" are heard as Borias rides into the playground on a huge war-horse, slicing through teachers with a scimitar as he nears the children. Body parts fly as blood gushes everywhere.

BORIAS: VER IZ DE CHILD ?!?

KYLE: Holy crap!

STAN: F======================================================================g hey! It's Borias!

CARTMAN: Kick ass!

Borias scans the group of children until he sees an Asian boy. Borias cuts through more teachers and some children blocking his path, grabs the boy and throws him over the saddle, then rides away.

STAN: Oh my God! He took Tommy Chong! You bastards!

Several black helicopters fly by in pursuit of Borias.

KYLE: Dude, didn't Borias die, like, ten winters ago?

STAN: I guess death doesn't mean much in the Xenaverse.

CARTMAN: Hey look, here comes Kenny.

Kenny, head and all, walks up to the boys.

KENNY: MMrrphggffmmm.

STAN: Oh, not much, dude. Hey, let's go to Chef's house and see Xena and G-G-Gabrielle.

CARTMAN: Why? So you can puke on her again?

STAN: Shut-up, butt-pie!

Stan punches Cartman.

CARTMAN: OW! God dammit! I'll kick you in the nuts!

The boys walk out of frame. The black helicopters return, flying in the opposite direction. One of the choppers has Borias and his horse in a net. Borias yells curses in Russian as they fly out of frame.

CUT TO - CHEF'S BEDROOM

Chef is in bed with Xena on one side and Gabrielle on the other. A hookah is on the nightstand by the bed. Xena takes a drag and passes the pipe to Chef. Gabrielle is eating Happy Tarts.

GABRIELLE: Wow, these Happy Tarts taste SOOOO good.

CUT TO - FRONT STEPS OF CHEF'S HOUSE

The boys walk up to Chef's door and ring the bell.

CUT TO - CHEF'S BEDROOM

CHEF: Sweet Jesus! Who the hell is that? Pardon me, ladies, I have to go kill some damn fool white person.

Chef gets out of bed, puts on a robe and leaves to answer the door. Gabrielle and Xena look at each other across the bed, then Gabrielle throws the Happy Tarts away and pounces on Xena.

CUT TO - EXT. - CHEF'S DOORWAY

Chef opens the door.

CHEF: Children, what the hell are you doing here? Why aren't you in school?

STAN: Well, Borias showed up and killed most of the teachers before kidnapping Tommy Chong, so we figured we'd come over and see Xena and Gabrielle.

Chef blinks a few times.

CHEF: Uhh, OK, come on in then.

The boys enter the house.

CUT TO - CHEF'S LIVING ROOM

Chef stands while the boys sit on the couch. Dead crushed beer cans and empty bags of Cheesy Poofs still litter the room.

Xena and Gabrielle enter the living room, adjusting their clothing.

CHEF: Are you sure it was Borias, children? Y'all haven't been hanging out breathing the smoke at Cartman's house, have you?

XENA: BORIAS? Doesn't anyone stay dead around here? Oh, hi Kenny.

GABRIELLE: Kenny! Thank the gods you're alive!

Gabrielle bursts into tears and runs to embrace Kenny. Xena comes up to them and pats Kenny on the head as Gabrielle hugs him.

XENA: No offense, kid. How's the head?

KENNY: MMMMrrmpphhhh, ggffftrrrtrsssmphhff.

Everyone laughs.

GABRIELLE: Oh, Kenny, you're so articulate.

Gabrielle kisses Kenny on the cheek, he blushes and squeaks, then pulls his parka hood down. Gabrielle turns to hug Stan.

GABRIELLE: You have your friend back! Isn't life wonderful?

Stan barfs all over Gabrielle.

GABRIELLE: eeewwww...

XENA: At least it matches your outfit.

CUT TO - SCHOOL YARD

Principal Victoria and Officer Barbrady survey the carnage. Paramedics and coroners throw body parts into bags, then add the bags to a growing pile.

PRINCIPAL: God bless America! Oh, the humanity! And poor little Tommy Chong...well, there goes our ethnic quota for next semester.

Principal Victoria grabs Officer Barbrady by the collar.

PRINCIPAL: YOU MUST FIND HIM! WE'LL LOSE FEDERAL FUNDING!

BARBRADY: Calm down, now, I'm sure this is just your standard run-of-the-mill barbarian loot-and-pillage case.

Agents Scully and Mulder walk onto the scene. They flash their badges as they step over body bags and approach the Principal and Police Chief.

MULDER: I'm Special Agent Mulder, and this is my partner, Agent Scully.

SCULLY: We were informed a child was taken by a "barbarian", after said barbarian murdered several bystanders. Is this true?

PRINCIPAL: Yes! That son-of-a-biscuit took little Tommy Chong!

MULDER: Several witnesses also reported the appearance of unmarked black helicopters, apparently in pursuit of the suspect.

BARBRADY: Ohh, ahh, well, those were probably just some pigeons. Frankly, I don't think the F.B.I. needs to get involved...and I'm quite certain the Israeli Massad has nothing to do with this case.

MULDER: With all due respect, Officer , we'll be the judge of that.

PRINCIPAL: So, do you think this is related to the attack on Mr.Garrison and Mr. Hat earlier today?

BARBRADY: Ahh, excuse me, I need to go see a camel about a hump.

Officer Barbrady exits abruptly.

SCULLY: There was another incident like this?!

PRINCIPAL: Yes, one of the new exchange students, Xena, attacked a teacher this morning and killed his puppet, Mr. Hat.

MULDER: Xena?! Like from the TV show?

SCULLY: Mr. Hat?! Mulder, can I have a word with you?

Scully pulls Mulder out of earshot of Principal Victoria.

SCULLY: Mulder, I think we should leave this to the local FBI office. This is probably just a case of some deeply disturbed fantasy gamer finally losing touch with reality.

MULDER: No, Scully, I think we're dealing with something worse than some internet geek acting out his latest Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

SCULLY: And just what would that be? A dead puppet?

MULDER: No, but the puppet thing is pretty creepy...Scully, I believe the television characters from "Xena: Warrior Princess" have somehow entered into our reality, and in so doing have left a rift that could allow characters from other shows in as well. Probably the result of a covert government operation along the lines of the Philadelphia Experiment.

SCULLY: Mulder, you're insane! How could that be? Fictional characters from some campy syndicated T&A show on a murderous spree in South Park, Colorado?!

MULDER: Just trust me, Scully. Now, let's get to the bottom of this military-industrial-entertainment-media conglomerate conspiracy before more lives are lost.

SCULLY: (sighing) Well, then, how should we proceed? Put out an APB for Conan?

MULDER: No, "Borias", Xena's dead lover from ten winters ago. A witness heard a boy named Stan call out that name when the attack began.

SCULLY: Mulder, sometimes I worry about you.

Mulder and Scully walk back to Principal Victoria.

SCULLY: Do you know where Xena is now? Or Stan?

PRINCIPAL: No, Xena and her friend Gabrielle disappeared before the police arrived. Hhmmm, maybe Chef knows where Stan and his friends are.

SCULLY: "Chef"? Can you tell us where this Chef person lives?

Scully writes down the information from Principal Victoria as Mulder watches some rats carry a corpse away.

SCULLY: I have Chef's address, let's go question him.

Scully and Mulder exit.

PRINCIPAL: Hey, what about our federal funding? Oh, Jimminey crickets!

CUT TO - CHEF'S LIVING ROOM

Gabrielle is washing the last bit of barf off when the doorbell rings.

CHEF: What the hell is this? A God damn convention?

Chef answers the door to see two Men In Black. They stun him with an alien weapon, and try to enter the house. Xena throws her chakram into the chest of one, and he drops dead to the floor. She unsheathes her sword as the second MIB points his weapon at her. Suddenly, shots ring out and the MIB screams as bullets rip his legs open. He crumples to the floor, writhing in pain. Mulder and Scully enter the house, guns drawn.

The boys look at each other, then start clapping. Xena stands protectively in front of the boys and Gabrielle.

SCULLY: Federal agents! Drop your weapon!

XENA: You first, Red!

Mulder steps between them.

MULDER: We won't hurt you or your friends. Scully, lower your gun. Xena, put your sword away.

Xena and Scully stand down. Mulder kneels to check on the MIB.

MULDER: Damn! They're both dead. This one must have had a suicide pill.

Scully kneels next to Chef. Chef groans.

SCULLY: He'll be OK, he's just stunned.

XENA: I'm getting real tired of asking this, but who are you and what the F_K is going on?!?

GABRIELLE: Xena! Language! The children!

Xena gives Gabrielle a LOOK.

XENA: ARE YOU KIDDING?

MULDER: I'm Fox Mulder, and this is my partner, Dana Scully.

XENA: Fox? Dana? What the Hades kind of stupid names are those?

GABRIELLE: Xena, be quiet if you can't be nice!

Xena opens her mouth to say something, gets a LOOK from Gabrielle, and then sighs as she sits down on the couch next to the boys.

CARTMAN: Man, Xena, you are WHIPPED! If my woman talked to me like that I'd be all "Hey, bitch, get me a chocolate chicken pot pie and a beer before I -

GABRIELLE: Eric Cartman! Hush!

CARTMAN: yes, ma'am...

GABRIELLE: I'm sorry about the children (she looks at Xena). You seem to know who we are, can you help us get home?

MULDER: I'm not sure. I was hoping you could tell us how you got here.

GABRIELLE: Well, Jesus brought us here and -

SCULLY: Your saying that Jesus Christ brought you to our world? This just gets better all the time.

STAN: Hey, you guys! "Jesus and Pals" is on right now!

Stan presses the TV remote and "Jesus and Pals" comes on the screen.

MULDER: See Scully, I told you the military-industrial-entertainment-media conglomerate was responsible!

Kyle calls the show.

JESUS: Yea, though wickedness surrounds thee, fear not for I am always with you...next caller, hello, you're on the air...

KYLE: Hi, Jesus.

JESUS: Shalom, Kyle. What's up? You boys want to meet the Baywatch babes now?

KYLE: Uh, no. Xena and Gabrielle want to go home. Can you do that?

JESUS: Oh course, I'm the son of God after all...Whenever Xena and Gabrielle want to return, all they have to do is say so, and being the most glorious and only son of God, I will hear them and send them home. Xena jumps up and grabs the phone from Kyle.

XENA: That's it?!? Why didn't you tell us that yesterday?

JESUS: Well, the show was running a little long...which reminds me. "Marty's Movie Reviews" will not be seen tonight so that we can bring you a holiday treat: "BJ And The Bear's Christmas Spectacular". Enjoy!

The lights fade on.
