*** Chapter One ; Three years later ***

Three years have passed since the incident in Dirt. And three years since Rango became the Sheriff of the little town Dirt. And to this day, he had managed to keep both his life and his badge. He was neither the smartest nor the most succesful sheriff Dirt ever had, but the townspeople liked him and some even respected him. Why? Because he was the one who made sure to put and end to mayor Tortoise Johns reign and made the water flow again. And it was said that even Rattlesnake-Jake, the Grim Reaper himself, had some respect for him.
Some of the people wanted to have Rango as their new mayor, however they were voted down by the rest of the townsfolk, who actually had some sense left. And Rango didn't even want to be mayor in the first place. He was happy as the role as sheriff of Dirt. Because this was an easy job. There weren't much criminality left in Dirt, except for Bad Bill and his roughians, and the occasional drunk who had to be locked in so he didn't cause any harm, especially not to himself.
Other tahn that, Dirt was a peaceful little town, so Rango usually had more than enough time, which he used to spend either taking a siesta or visiting Beans on her farm.

Plus, he had a deputy who usually took care of some of the work. Priscilla had grown alot, from a little girl who were practically grown up as a baby, to a headstrong young adult who nagged Rango into giving her the post as deputy.
She were so daedgum proud when she got the deputy-badge from Rango. Too bad she didn't have any other family than her friend Wounded Bird, to show it too. And ofcourse Beans, who had taken care of her ever since she was little.
She were doing a great job as Rango's assistent. She were as quick with both her double wielding 45. colt revolvers as she were with her head and tounge. Rango couldn't have found any better deputy in the whole west.
Things had changed for others too. Ambrose had become the new mayor and since the water now were flowing as it used to, things had certainly gone good for everyone. Beans had restored her daddys ranch to its former self, and she had even bought some land that mayor once had bought from other, unfortunate farmers. On top of it all, she had become filthy rich.
Today, it was Priscilla who were on duty, while Rango were dreaming about him playing the lead role in a broadway musical.
She sat outside in the shadow and cleaned her revolvers. People didn't like that she had become a woman of the law. That is no work for a girl, they said.
She looked at her reflection in the cold metal. They could say whatever they wanted, she didn't wan't to ruin her life as a schoolteacher, housewife, farmer or anything like that. She liked action, where things actually happened. You didn't get enough action as a saloon lady or a cooking lady. Sure, being a law enforcer in Dirt weren't too exciting, but it wasn't utterly boring either. Especially not now when Rango was in charge.
"G'mornin' deputy!" Mr Snuggles said as he marched by. The ragged porcupine were one of them who tought that when Rango was letting Priscilla becoming a deputy was one of his few smart moves.
"G'mornin' there mr Snuggles!" Priscilla replied and didn't lift her eyes from the gun she was cleaning.

"I've heard that Bad Bill's been actin' up agein'... This time it's some newly wed gerbile couple he won't leave alone" Snuggles said and spit on the ground. "Whaddya say about wakin' mr Sleepin' Beauty up and go see what the commotion's all about?"
"Yeah..." Priscilla said and returned her weapons to their holster. "This time i wouldn't mind gettin' that creep behind bars once and for all... He's really gettin' me on mah nerves!" She said a bit annoyed and stood up from the chair.
"You and me both, kiddo" Snuggles said, he tapped his hat at the deputy, said a short "g'bye" and left for the saloon. Priscilla went back into the sheriffs office.
She found Rango sitting with his boots on the desk and his chair tilted back, enjoying a good sleep with the hat over his eyes and mouth wide open. Snoring louder than the church bells.
She sighed and lifted his hat from his head, filled the hat with water and gave it back to him. The cold water suddenly hitting his naked head and slowly running down his clothes made him wake up with a screech. He kicked with his feets and managed to flip the chair over. Tough the rough awakening, he was barely conscious as he lied on his back on the wooden floor and stared up on the ceiling. Priscilla came into his line of sight.
"Rise n' shine, sheriff. I've heard Bad Bill's up to no good again'..." She said and gave him a glass of cactus juice, but he declined. He stood up, took the chair with him and discovered he was wet all over.
"Great, now i'll have go get new clothes first!" He said and squeezed some water out of his hat.
"Nah, you'll dry in the sun" she said and shrugged.

"What about my gun? It's also wet!"

"Here, you can borrow one of mine."
"What if you'll need it later?"
"Nah, i'll bring the shotgun too"
"Weren't your runner bad in one leg?"
"No, he healed up last week!"
"You really want to go after this guy, dont you?"
"Yup!"
Rango sighed. "Fine" he said and gave up, as usual. "Where is Bill hanging around now?"
"Over at the newly weds, i think they're called Masons"
"The Maxons?"
"Yeah, sure. Something like that..." Priscilla said and waved with her paw. "Anyway, i'm gunna go get the runners now. Ya better not be sleepin' when i return!"
Rango held up a hand. "Cross my heart!"
Priscilla left Rango and picked up her shotgun on the way out. She walked the short distance to the livery stable and got their road runners, Rango's white one named Excelsior and her brown and black. She haven't given him a name yet, altough she sometimes calls him Birdie.
When she came back to the office with the runners after her, Rango were on the outside and waited for her. Heavens to betsy, he hadn't go back to sleeping!

So whaddya think so far :D? Leave a review so i'll now ^^...
If anyone is wondering how Priscilla could have grown so much since the movie, well, thats because they're animals. And animals grows faster than humans, however i still wanted them to be young so i've sort of compromised a timeline. So they all aged 10 years during what we the three years. For an example: If Prissy were 8 in the movie, then she would be around the age of 18-19 here, and i've imagined Rango as 20-22 and Beans as 18-20 so that would make them 30-32 and 28-30 years now. And i think Jake is somewhere 30-35 in the movie so he would be 40-45 here. He's getting kinda old then...
Anyway, i hope you enjoyed it, i've had really fun time researching for this fic :D!

Delilah OUT!
