To the Caboose Word Game; Another word game to pass the time

There's a bunch of word games going around and I thought I'd introduce another one.
I adapted it from some Chinese show where they were playing something like this using Chinese idioms.
Tried it on facebook a while back with some college friends. Turned out interesting, so I'll try it again here.

How to play:

The leader gives two phrases, a "locomotive" and a "caboose".
Let's say the locomotive phrase is "The Legend of Sun Knight" and the caboose phrase is "Half Prince".
Everyone then continues posting phrases, with the requirement that the first word of the phrase is the same (or very similar) to the last word in the previous phrase.
Since the locomotive phrase ends with Knight, someone can continue with "knight in shining armor".
Someone else can then chime in with "Armored car".
"Car and Driver"
"Driver's License"
"License to kill"
"Killing time"
"Time-and-a-half"
"Half Prince"

The last person, having reached the "caboose" phrase, can then start another round with two new phrases.
If they're feeling up to it, they can add a rule to make their round more interesting, like
"If you use a phrase related to Half-Prince, you're allowed to post again immediately" or something.

Rules:
-Phrases should be somewhat recognizable. Don't make up completely random phrases. Feel free to justify the origin of your phrase in parentheses.
-The connecting word doesn't have to be completely identical. Different tense, or using just the last part of a compound word is okay.
-After posting, you must wait for two other people to respond before responding again.
-Consider the phrases you use. Don't make phrases that are impossible to follow.
-If two people double-post with the same reply, the first one is legit.


I'll start round 1 with no additional rules.
The locomotive phrase is Second Life.
The caboose phrase is Blood Elf.

Amgine's Note: Remember, you can't post again until two other people reply after you.
We'll let this one slide by, but the next one won't count. =p

Whoops. And I'll add a "If you use a phrase related to Legend of Sun Knight, you're allowed to post again immediately" rule.

The locomotive phrase is Blueberry Pastry.
The caboose phrase is Apple Wine.
