Your Versions ...

Okay, folks here's the mad lib in context! 

First, The original text:

For a moment, she just lay there stunned. Then she regained her feet and started running down the path. Eric reached the forest just as she disappeared beyond a curve in the path. He hesitated a moment, glancing up at the tangled vines before he resumed his chase of his intended bride. Not far behind him were Doranna, Casperl and Agatha.
At last they caught up with Robin. She had reached the castle gates, and stood with her sword held aloft as she threatened the guards. “If you don’t let me in!” she shouted, “heads are gonna roll!”
That’s what we are afraid of,” replied the captain of the guard, dryly.
Eric caught Robin’s arm. “Robin,” he said, “I don’t think making threats is the best way to get into the castle.”
Robin froze, then turned to Eric. “Oh, that’s right,” she said, in a subdued voice. “There’s a magic word.” Then she turned back to the guards and said, in a desperate voice, “Please! Please open the gate!”

And now for yours!

  3. I thought about doing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as the magic word, but was certain someone else would do it, and I didn't want to be redundant. Well... guess not, since "please" was the original magic word. :)

    Anywho, these are great!! Loved reading everyone's selections! Momma Eagle's "Popcorn!" had me laughing.
