AN:This is the story of what happens between the time of after the main story and before the character quests start.
Chapter 1It was THE most boring day that anyone could have ever lived, and it had finally made its way to Werites Beacon. Even the most enthusiastic Norma, and the energetic Moses, could not find anything to do. Grune, who was always having fun no matter what she did, was actually bored. The streets of Werites Beacon was usually filled with many different sounds, children laughing, women gossiping, people arguing... but today, the streets were dead silent. Will had gone out to one of the Monuments to go see a newly discovered monster and would not be back until later that day. Senel, Shirley and Chloe were hunting down monsters that came too close to the city, Moses was hanging out at the camp he and his boys were staying at. Norma was just walking around town being bored, Grune was gardening at Will's house, and Jay was at the Oresoren Village, as usual. Everyone, besides Will, was totally bored, and everything else, that seemed alive, was bored. Anyhow, the (not so) Fun Bunch, excluding Will at the moment, decided to meet at the Fountain Plaza to find something interesting to do.
"So have you decided on what to do?" Senel questioned Moses.
"Hey! Ain't y'all supposed to be thinkin' of somethin' to do too?" Moses complained.
"Well, you and Norma were the ones who called us here wasn't it now?" Jay rolled his eyes sarcastically.
"You little... oh whatever, anyway, I was thinking that maybe we could have a party!" Moses exclaimed happily.
"...but isn't that all we ever do?" Norma whined.
"Not just a party... A KARAOKE PARTY!" Moses jumped up and down, "YEEHAW!"
"...you're not serious," Jay was wide-eyed.
"Course I am!" Moses stopped jumping.
"Well, then I pass," Jay started to walk away.
"……I think someone's chicken," Moses muttered quietly but just loud enough for the young ninja to catch.
"What did you say?" Jay glared at Moses.
"I said 'someone's chicken'!" and Moses started to dance around, imitating a chicken. "Or, gasp! Are you lackin' the talent to sing?"
Jay flushed with rage but said calmly, "are you sure you're not just saying that to make yourself feel better, because you can't sing?"
"Is that a challenge I'm hearin', comin' outta that tiny mouth of yers?" Moses and Jay were nose to nose by then.
"Why would I challenge an idiot who can hardly speak properly, to sing?" Jay grinned when he saw Moses' expression.
"Oh yea? Then, I'm gonna challenge you, to a Karaoke Fest at the Fountain Plaza!" Moses exclaimed.
"... you're not serious..." Jay gapped at him.
"Aww, is little Jay chicken to sing in fronta people?" Moses started to poke his head and started to laugh, "oh, I fergot, YOU CAN'T SING!"
"THAT'S IT, YOU'RE GOING DOWN! I ACCEPT YOUR STUPID CHALLENGE!" Jay declared.
"Alrigh'! Now things are gonna get interestin'!" Moses turned and grinned at the rest of the party. "Y'all 'ear that? Jay's gonna sing a song fer us!"
"...whatever..." Jay grumbled.
"So lets meet at the Fountain Plaza tonight, and we'll get everything set up for our party!" Norma giggled madly.
"Oh, this will be so much fun!" Grune did her Grunish smile.
"Umm... by the way," Chloe started. "Do WE have to participate as well?"
"Yea, do we?" Senel asked awkwardly.
"Course y'all have to join in too! It wouldn't be any fun if it were just me 'n Jay, now would it?" Moses stepped towards them. "Of course, the old man's gotta join in too! Oh and Jay, go get those Scallop Brothers of yers too!"
Checking up on Will...
Will was going to be in a very surprising situation when he gets back from his little adventure. As he traveled through the last corridor on the way out, he suddenly had a awkward feeling in his stomach and he sweat dropped, "I have a strange feeling that I don't want to go home..."
Checking up on Jay...
"Oh god, why did I have to agree to that stupid challenge! Why, why, WHY! Did I do something to deserve this predicament! Well, maybe besides calling Moses a stupid bandit, and sometimes making fun of Norma and Moses, and... wait, why does everything include Moses? That stupid bandit... argh! I'm doing it again! Oh whatever..." Jay noticed that he had already reached the Oresoren Village. He entered the Scallop Brothers' house and was greeted by them, "welcome home, Jay! Ors!"
"What's wrong Jay? You seem troubled," Quppo looked up at him.
"It's nothing, Quppo..." Jay smiled. "That stu... I mean, Moses, wanted you three to attend this 'party' of his tonight, in Werites Beacon at the Fountain Plaza."
"Really! We love parties!" the three Oresoren brothers jumped up and down happily.
"Well as long as they're happy..." Jay thought with a sigh.
Well, that wasn't too long of a chapter but yea, hope you enjoyed it. Now I have to think of songs to make these people sing! Mwahahaha! Please R & R!
Oh yea! And now, here's the backstage part of the story with the Fun Bunch!
Jay: Oh... My... God... Do I really have to sing!
Me: Oooh yeah... I'm gonna make you sing alright...
Jay: I though Moses was evil... and stupid...
Me: Well, who's stupid now, huh? You accepted his STUPID challenge!
Jay: Yea, but you're the author remember?
Me: ... I just enjoy torturing you...?
Jay: So you just felt like 'Oh lets make today, torture Jay day', huh?
Me: Yuppy! Hey, you can make rhymes!
Jay: Please, don't start that again... I even rhyme with your name... And many other things that I wouldn't want to...
Moses: Hey, I want to join this thing too!
Me: Sure, you always make things interesting!
Jay: Wait a second... checks back to one of the other records of the backstage... YOU CALLED ME A HALF PINT!
Moses: Gulp Uh oh...
Me: Run Moses, RUN! He's got a dagger... Hey wait, why is he pointing it at me?
Moses: Because you're making this skit up?
Me: Oh crap...
Save the author! Take my brother instead! I hope you enjoyed the show! We'll be back in the next chapter! Oh and by the way, I'd like to thank my little brother Sean for helping me write this little skit! Woohoo go lil' bro!
