Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Mr Bennet smiles at his sons and daughters as they expertly clean their firearms. Elliot grabs another firearm, starting to work.

"Mr. Bennet! Mr. Bennet!"A voice calls, their Mother and their Fathers's better half. Mr Bennet started to sharpen a blade. "Mr. Bennet, have you heard that Netherfield Park is occupied again?" That turned everyone's attention to Mrs. Bennet. "By a Mr. Bingley. A young, single mane of large fortune. Mrs. Long says his income is for or five thousand a year. He is attending the village dance tonight."

Elliot held a small grin on his face. He thought that it is fairly ludicrous that their mother is continually conspiring for them to wed the affluent. He had realized that she wanted the best for every one of them, yet finding some well off individual and constraining one into a without a doubt cold or uneven marriage was fairly senseless.

"How does this concern our warrior children?" Mr. Bennet asked.

"Oh, how can you be so tiresome?" Mrs. Bennet asked her husband. "You know I mean for him to marry one of them."

"Daughters, as well as some sons do not dance well with masticated brains, Mrs. Bennet." Mr Bennet reacted, making Elliot grin once more.

"You have put them at a decided social disadvantage by insisting they do combat training in China as opposed to Japan." Mrs. Bennet was speaking rather rapidly, which implied she was upset with Mr. Bennet.

"The Chinese deadly arts have no equal." Reasoned Mr. Bennet.

"I, for one, would trade nothing for my Shaolin training." Elliot voiced, offering his contribution to his contending parents.

"You mustn't speak like that, Lio." Mrs. Bennet snapped.

"I should like to go to the dance." John spoke.

"Do you think Mr. Bingley's handsome?" Lydia asked too energetically as Elliot would have liked it to be.

"With his income, Lydia, you'd think him handsome if he had half a zombie face." Elliot spat, making his sister sneer, while John and Mary snickered.

"Sorry." Mary apologized, returning her glasses to her face prior to returning to work.

"You'll make me very, very happy." Mrs. Bennet murmured loudly to Mr. Bennet, Elliot going to confront his parents.

"Well, I suppose if we all go..." Mr. Bennet said defeatedly, causing John and the girls to giggle in happiness.

"No!" Elliot protested. "I don't care to be paraded like a herd of heifers at a farm auction."

"That's because you're the cow who's least proficient in the art of tempting the opposite or same sex." Lydia insulted, which infuriated Elliot. "Moo!"

Elliot leaped out of his seat as did Lydia and the remainder of his sisters, all aside from Elliot shouting as Elliot pursued Lydia with intent.

"Do not mistake my indulgence for a relaxation in discipline!" Mr Bennet called after them as John calmly left after his kin ran out screaming their heads off.

"They must find spouses, Mr. Bennet." Mrs. Bennet remarked. "For as you know too well, they shall inherit nothing when you pass if they don't."

"Their immediate survival is my present concern." He told his wife.

Later in the early evening, the siblings helped each other get ready for the village dance this evening. Fix girdles, securing shirts, make up, every last bit of it. They concealed their weapons on their own. Tied onto their thighs and in their boots. Elliot had one tied on his upper thigh with the goal that it very well may be handily gotten to through the highest point of his trousers.
