Call him "Bones."
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 24187

"Hey," says the skeleton, "You're a pretty swell guy, if I do say so myself."
"Uh...thanks..." mumbles Fred. "Say, I thought you undead-"
"We prefer 'living-impaired.'" interrupts the skeleton.
"Living-impaired individuals were aligned with the forces of darkness."
The skeleton gives a rattling chuckle. "Oh, those wacky priests. Yeah, a
lot of formerly deceased persons (and beings, we can't forget the skeletal
animals and nonpeople) are used as cannon fodder, but for some reason, I've
retained my individuality and repetoire of terrible puns."
Fred winces. He hates puns.
"So, what are you doing here?" asks fred timidly.
"Oh, me? I...just act ominous..." murmurs the skeleton. "You'd be suprised
how many people think I'm going to rise up and attack or place a terrible
curse on them. I'm not that kind of guy. I just like having a little fun.
It gets awfully boring out here."
Fred pauses for a minute, then his eyes light up with a spark of
inspiration. "Would you like to accompany me on a quest, Sir..." Fred halts
in mid-sentence. He hasn't asked for the skeleton's name.
The skeleton rolls its eyes, which is quite a feat, considering that it has
none. "My name? Call me... Bones." The skeleton says, rising from the ground.
"Where to, partner?" asks Bones.
"Please, call me Fred." says Fred.
Bones turns to Fred. "Well, Fred... we've got an interesting journey ahead
of us."
