HEY!!!!! And here you were all worried that it would be a LONG time before the next story came out! how dare you doubt our abilities to get out a chapter in a timely fashion... heh heh...
but... since its almost Christmas and this weekend is Hanukkah.. and since Season Three is halfway done, I thought it might be prudent to get this chapter out there... then we'll procrastinate... err, i mean work really hard to make Act 1 superb! I hope you all enjoy this Musical with as much laughter and spraying of liquids across computer screens as you all did the other two Musicals! This one is sure to be a hoot...
Seanait (sings, loud tenor): And now it's...!
Nightpheonix (hits on shoulder): Shut up. Don't give it all away.
Seanait: Fine...
Stargate Atlantis: The Musical Musical – Season Three
Noises were steadily erupting from the auditorium area of Atlantis. People walking past wondered what on Earth was going on!
The stage was covered in people dancing together. Nightpheonix was up there directing the dancers. Seanait hung off stage right watching. It was absolute craziness, but Nightpheonix was doing her best to control it. The piano played a kinda upbeat tune as a group of dancers… you could say "danced," but that's not exactly what was happening…
"AGAIN!" Nightpheonix shouted at the dancers. "Arabesque, prepare, pirouettes, and twirl! Goose step, goose step, waltz clog and kick! AGAIN! Arabesque, prepare, pirouettes and twirl and goose step, goose step, waltz clog and KICK!" She stumbled over to Seanait, who was watching the auditions in dismay. Nightpheonix became extremely frustrated with the "dancers."
"Arabesque, prepare, PIROUETTES AND TWIRL!!!"
It was time to stop this utter madness.
"HALT!" screamed Seanait at the top of her lungs. Just then, all the fifty-something dancers and singers started talking and singing very loudly.
"HALT!" Nightpheonix echoed.
"HALT!"
"HALT!"
"HALT!!!" they screamed at each other. No one was listening.
"SILENCE!" Nightpheonix shouted in French. It too had no effect. Unfortunately, both writers' notebooks were lying on the audition table some twenty feet offstage. So she tried once more. "SHUT!! UP!!!"
That got people's attention. They all shut up and stopped dancing around.
"Would the singing teams please wait off Stage LEFT! And the dancing teams off Stage RIGHT!" Seanait commanded loudly. Nightpheonix rolled her eyes in obvious relief.
"Thank you Shay," she said gratefully.
"No problem."
Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Ronon, and Beckett all were peeking on stage to see what the hell was going on with their musical. The auditions showed them all that the writers were truly a force any fictional character would not want to deal with.
A fuming Nightpheonix saw their heads poking through the curtains nervously.
"John Sheppard! Come here!" she shouted across the stage. John knew that he'd been caught and meekly walked across the stage.
"The rest of you too!" Seanait added. The rest of them followed John's meekness.
"Yes?" they all chimed. This made the two writers a little happier.
"We're doing another musical."
"But we've already done a musical," Sheppard whined.
"Twice!" added McKay. Suddenly Weir appeared out of nowhere - she had a strange tendency of doing this.
"But this is the musical version of the Musical!" she said profoundly.
AT-1 stopped and blinked as did all the auditioners.
Weir sighed irritably. "The musical sung to songs from musicals!"
" Oooohhh!" they all exclaimed and nodded in understanding.
"Great. This means I'm going to have show tunes stuck in my head for the rest of my life," McKay groaned unhappily.
"Yep," Weir, Seanait, and Nightpheonix all said cheerfully. The team stopped and looked at the three females. They moved away slowly.
"Don't ever do that again… that was creepy!" Ronon proclaimed. A mousy little woman came up behind Seanait and tapped her on the shoulder.
"The singing auditions are waiting."
"Thank you Songwriter," Seanait answered. When Shay turned back around, the little mousy woman had disappeared – again breaking the laws of physics.
Nightpheonix took a name from a pile of cards and handed it Seanait.
"Jacques Lapidur?" she called and looked around. AT-1 looked as well; they knew no one named Jacques… "Jacques Lapidur?" Nightpheonix glanced at the card she had handed Seanait and whispered a quick correction.
Deadpan and disappointed, Seanait called out "Jack Lapidus." A man walked out. He was auditioning for a wraith; ClawHide Clan (BGWCP denomination), Kolya, and Lt. Ford. He was a heavy set man… white too.
Nightpheonix walked out to him. "So, what are you going to sing for us?" He suddenly looked all romantic.
"I will sing… 'A Wondering Minstrel, I.'" With that, he proceeded to squeak his voice and hum. Nightpheonix shared an 'oh-my-god' glance with Seanait.
"Ah-a wondering minstrel, I, a thing of shreds and…" he bowed down.
"NEXT!" everybody screamed.
"patches!" When Jack came up, his toupee came flying off. Seanait chose another card… this man was auditioning for Radek Zelenka.
"Can I have… Dr. Zelenka?" Seanait read, confused. He already had a part, of that the writers were sure.
Nightpheonix quickly checked the notebook and confirmed that this was so. McKay walked up to Zelenka, who had just walked on stage.
"Whadda doing?"
"Vhat do you mean Rodney?"
"You already have a part!"
Zelenka shrugged. "I vant to feel like I earned it."
"And… what if you don't make it?" Rodney asked pensively.
Zelenka looked at McKay like his nuclear reactor had gone off. "Of course I'll make it! It's my part!"
"Okay, whatever…" McKay slowly acquiesced and walked off. Nightpheonix took his place uncertainly.
"So uh Zelenka… whadda gonna sing for us?" she asked. He smiled broadly.
"The 'Little Vooden Boy!'"
Nightpheonix palm-faced and sighed. "Whatever tickles your fancy…"
Zelenka started into a little dance as the piano began play. He slid across the stage with his knees bent inward, like a rag doll. Zelenka was just about to open his mouth when Nightpheonix and Seanait had had enough.
"NEXT!"
(plays opening title music) lol, can any of you pick out what musical that lovely scene is from? oh... and the white thing about Jack wasn't supposed to be offensive, it just merely states how odd it would be to have a white man try out for a black man's role. that's all!
hehe... soooo tell us what you think so far! maybe we'll get out Act 1 in a timely order... maybe... it'll probably come out before Season 3 starts up again at any rate! see you then!
Happy Holidays!
