So I've started rewatching Courage the Cowardly Dog and imagine Stan getting possessed by the evil exorcist mattress like Muriel did in that one episode and Ford and Courage having to fix it.
I decided to go re-watch the episode but It was totallyworth it so I could bring you this!!!
---------------------------------
The mattress, it turned out, was possessed, which reallyshouldnât have come as such a shock given the delivery âboysâ that dropped itoff, but Ford had seen odder in his day and so he had shrugged it off and letthem go about their work of replacing Stanâs bed. Ford, for his part, went backto working in the basement knowing that Stan would come get him when it wastime for dinner.
Only Stan never came, instead their panicked little dogshowed up, running over to his feet and trying to drag him along upstairs. Fordwas getting used to the fact that, for âCourageâ as Stan had lovingly namedhim, this meant trouble.
And trouble it was. Ford was almost embarrassed by thescream that fell from his lips as he watched Stanâs head fall off beforeslamming the door to Stanâs bedroom. There were something you just didnât wantto see.
Which was how he found himself here, standing at the side ofStanâs bed being laughed at. Ford had returned to the basement with the intentof figuring out some way to get rid of this creature from inside of hisbrother, but the loss of the journals made it a difficult process. Courage, forhis part, had vanished to, supposedly, check on Stan, only to come back a whilelater with some odd incantation that was supposed to get rid of the demon. Hesuspected that the dog had gotten it from that computer Fiddleford and giventhem which Ford was almost certain was possessed to.
He had read through it, raised an eyebrow, but figured hehad read less suprising incantations in his like. Kick âem to the dish pan ru ru ru, was hardly any worse than ainât afraid of no ghost-us. He justhoped his trench coat counted as a âflowing outfitâ
Ford read the incantation out loud, trying to ignore the tauntingthat falling from his brotherâs lips, reminding himself that it wasnât Stan. That much was obvious given theflow of bright red hair where his brothers white hair had once been.
The last words fell from Fordâs mouth and the room fellsilent for a moment before âStanâ started to laugh. Ford could hear an âoh noâfall from Courageâs lips (which still freaked him out. He needed to figure outwhat was up with that dog) before thelaughter turned into a choked cry and a green mist flowed out of Stanâs mouth.If floated there for a moment before lunging at Ford.
âOh no you donât.â he said, quickly removing a small portablevacuum from inside his jacket and sucking up the creature. He was always shockedjust how affective something so simple was on creatures like this.
âYou okay over there Stan?â he asked as he pocketed thatsmall vacuum again and watched as Courage jumped into his brother waiting arms.
âOkay!? Do you know how much I paid for this Mattress?!â
Ford couldnât help but laugh at that and shake his head. âWell,if you give me a few days Iâm sure I can fix it up good as new so you donât getpossessed when sleeping on it. Until then Iâm sure the couch will do wonât it?âHe offered, smiling when Stan huffed and nodded in agreement.
All and all, not a bad find.
