Setting the Stage

Disclaimer: I don't own Snowboard Kids Plus.

This is my first fairy tales fanfic so watch out. BTW for those who
don't know, Jeanette and the other non-Snowboard Kids characters are
characters that I made up in my stories. Well, here we go...and by the
way, none of the other original characters are mine. I just hate saying
that!

We begin this story at Snow Town where Tommy and Cody were lying
around. They were out in the sunshine hating every minute of the
boring day.

Cody: I'm bored. Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored!
Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Boorred!

Tommy: I'm bored too...We did all the chores right?

Cody: Right. (smiles at him.) It was funny watching you attempt to
hold a vacuum, though. With your feet...and in your teeth and...

Tommy: (glares at him) No, it wasn't! Just because I don't have balance
doesn't mean that I'm no good at vacuuming.

Cody: Well, I did the vacuuming so you wouldn't have to!

Tommy: I did the cleaning though! (sighs) I sure wish I could move
things without having to use my feet or mouth..."

Cody: You did great cleaning the house!...anyway... (sighs and frowns
and looks up at the sky.) Oh great, now I'm bored again. What are we
gonna do now?"

Tommy: No idea.

Serena: (walks up to them.) Whatcha doing?

Tommy: None of your business.

Cody: Nothing. You want us to do something for you?

Serena: "That's nice of you, Cody." (smiles at him and then goes into
the house. They wait for her to come out and she does, holding
something. She gave it to Cody and he looked it over.) We got this
from the mailman. I wonder where Andraia went? Usually she brings us
the mail."

Cody: Didn't she really hate his job? Maybe he left the postal force.

Tommy: Has she come to see you the last couple of months?

Cody: Lots of times.

Serena: (looks away) What do you guys talk about?

Cody: Mostly about how boring and thankless her job is. (got up and
nodded to her.) I listen to her but it's mostly ranting. She likes to
talk to me about all kinds of things. I can't tell you about them.

Serena: Why not!?

Cody: Violates our trust.

Serena: (nods and says it flatly.) See? That's why we like you. You're
a good friend. (jumps back up and goes into the house.)

Tommy: So what did she give you?

Cody: It's a leaflet. It's about a play that the Snow Town Dancers is
going to hold. (jumps up and there his eyes grew large and starry.)
Oh wow, a play! I'm gonna audition!

Tommy: "Who's it run by?"

Cody: "Who else, the Crystal Princess, Camille."

Tommy: "You call her that?"

Cody: Sure but I risk getting hit over the head every time I do it.
She says that the Crystal Princess title makes her sound old.

Tommy: It does. What's the play called?

Cody: Sleeping Beauty.

Tommy: But the lead is a girl! I don't wanna play a girl!

Cody: So you want to audition?

Tommy: Sure but...only for a guy's role.

Cody: Right. Me too.

They both get up and walk to the Snow Town Convention Center. The town
cleaned up quite nicely since the zombies attacked and now the town
looks just as good as ever. In the center this time is a statue
commemorating the day where Cody and the Snowboard Kids crew beat out
Gelnishia who almost destroyed the world.

Cody: Isn't this a nice description of you? (turns to Tommy and he
examines it.) You look really good.

Tommy: ... I don't know... I don't know if they captured the eyes. You
look good though.

Cody: Hmm...I look fat. (looks it over and makes the face to Tommy.)
You sure I'm not making a weird face?

Tommy: You kind of are...

Cody: Let's get to the theater, it's almost time.

They walked to the theater and they saw that everyone was there.
Slash, Nancy, Jam, Linda and Chibi was there, Wendy and Jeanette as
well. Brittany and Michael were also there as well as Damien and Kali.

Cody: Why is everyone here?

Tommy: Wendy!

Wendy: We're here to get parts for the play. What are you here for?

Cody: Parts in the play.

Slash: I'm here for the lead!

Nancy: (jumps up to him) So you're going to play the princess huh?

Slash: Of course...wait, did you say princess? (anime sweat drop)

Nancy: Yes! I want to be the princess though!

Linda: "No I want to be the princess!"

Aeris: But I'm already a princess! (steps up to them.) I'll play the
best princess since I am one!

Jam: You're the director though!

Cody: I want to play the handsome prince. (Slash and Jam glare at him
and he steps back and shrinks timidly but then Slash and Jam step back
and they started to shrink when Cody stomps up to them.) HEY you
can't scare me! I'm gonna be the prince! I'm BUFFED for it!

They all began fighting over who should get the lead and who shouldn't
when Kali approached them all and whistled sharply. They all stopped
fighting and stared at her and she approached them all.

Kali: Since you guys were the only ones who showed up for auditions,
now we'll just have to draw the parts out of the hats. (whips out from
nowhere a lot table with the top covered.) Now you guys line up and
we'll pick the parts out in a nice orderly... (everyone runs up and
knocks Kali out of the way. They fill out their names on the lot table
and Cody helped Kali up.) Thanks, Cody.

Cody: You're welcome, by the way...do you think I could play the
Prince?

Kali: (scowls) Just sign your name! (She drew the lots and announced
the roles.) Okay...the prince is Slash.

Slash: Woo hoo!! (jumps up and down and confetti was flung over him...
at first, then he was barraged by rotten fruit and other garbage. He
looked up and saw Jimmy dumped the garbage can full of junk on him.)
HEY!

Cody: (smiles and an anime sweat drop appeared. He crept down) I was
just boosting your victory...I forgot to check for anything else in
this trash can besides confetti. Who would have thought there was
actually trash in this trash can. You're the prince! Yay for you.
(He smiled but even though he was smiling, an anime vein was poking
out of his forehead.)

Slash: I'm sorry for glaring at you. You didn't know. (hugs him and
the others could hear Cody's muffled scream.)

Cody: (Gets out of Slash's grip, gasping.) What an interesting
odor...grossness...

Kali: And the princess is...Jam.

Jam: NOO!!

Linda: YES! It gives me a chance to dress him up nice and pretty!
(checks him over.) Don't worry, you'll be thinkin' like a girl once
I'm done with you!

Jam: What I need is a large gun...or maybe a bomb of some kind...

Tommy: So you're the princess right? I knew you were a boy but a
princess?!

Jam: (anime forehead vein appears and he growls at Tommy) "I'm not!
You're a pain in the--"

Kali: (interrupts) That's great. The three fairies are Linda, Chibi...

Chibi: I'll look good as a fairy!

Kali: ...and Tommy.

Tommy: NOO!!

Linda: YES! It also gives me a chance to dress you up nice and pretty
too!" (checks him over) "Not without the help of Chibi here though.

Chibi: Yes! Not only we'll talk about our feelings but I'll be able to
dress you up as a girl. I can see exactly what dresses might look good
on me and... now you'll know the feeling of HIGH HEELS!

Tommy: No! I can't! You can't make me!

Chibi: Come on! It'll be fun! (gives him...THE LOOK...)

Tommy: Yes dear. (walks sulkily away)

Cody: (makes a whipping motion and whipping noise and Tommy glares
at him.)

Kali: Okay...the part of the king will be played by Wendy and the
part of the queen will be played by Michael.

Wendy: Yay! I'll be able to look older! I'll have a nice beard and...
wait, I shouldn't have a beard...

Michael: (annoyed) Can we PLEASE stop with the gender swapping roles?

Kali: Nope.

Nancy: I WANNA BE THE PRINCESS THOUGH!

Kali: Well the drawing didn't turn out. You're the princess' lady in
waiting.

Nancy: WHAT!? I'm gonna get you, ninja girl! I feel like a fried
snowcone! (wounded herself up and started running after Kali. She
cried out and ran out of the room, Nancy running after her.)

Cody: Hey, he didn't tell who the rest of the roles were. (Cody walked
up to the lot and did the lines for Damien and found his role. An
explosion and a scream could be heard in the background.) Hey! You're
going to be the narrator.

Damien: That's cool. At least I don't have to dress up as some girl.

Tommy and Jam: SHUT UP!

Cody: (blinks) Wait, who's playing the evil witch? (Then sighs and
follows the path on the lot board and finds who played it.) The evil
witch...is me...

Tommy and Jam: "BWA HA HA HAA!!"

Cody: (glares at them) At least I don't have to be DAINTY! I'm a BAD
girl!" (pales in the face and groans) "Oh man, did I just say that?

Brittany: Hey! What about me?

Cody: (checks it over.) "Oh...uh...you're the understudy of the prince.

Brittany: (sighs) Wonderful, I won't have to change my character one
little bit...

Kali: (Nancy walks in, happy and she walks in, completely black from
soot.) I'm sorry for taking that unscheduled break. Anyway...does
everyone know what their roles are?

All: YES!

Kali: Good. The play's tonight.

All: WHAT?!

Kali: You'll have to memorize your lines. I'll give you an hour for
that.

All: YOU DIE!!

Kali: (smirks) I'll see you in an hour. (gives them each their lines.)

They all looked them over and soon they were a little bit familiar
with them. Damien sat back and glanced at them and looked on Cody who
struggled with his annoying witch lines. He looked on the lines with
uncertainty.

Cody: (turns to Damien) You think I can memorize ALL these lines
before the play?

Damien: You can do anything. (Sips from his drink.)

Cody: (gets up and glares at him.) That's easy for YOU to say...
You're hidden from sight so you can just look at the play book!

Damien: You're the evil witch right?

Jimmy: Right, don't make any fun.

Damien: How are you going to do that? You don't have an evil bone in
your body! You rescued 3 kittens from a tree today...and also two
large dogs...from the same tree!

Cody: Well...How's my voice? (Creates a sunny feminine voice.) Hello!
I am the wicked witch!

Linda: (walks in suddenly.) Chibi! Was that you? (looks around and
then turned to Cody.) Hey Cody? Have you seen Chibi...she must've
been talking about the witch's costume right?

Cody: (kind of angry) No, that was me.

Linda: Oh well. Can you please take off your clothes? (giggles) I
can't believe I could just say that!

Cody: (blushes) What?! Why?!

Linda: I want to take your measurements.

Cody: I'm a magician. I can just use magic. (With a wave of his
hands he changed his clothes into a beautiful evil looking black
dress.) See? I look enough like an evil queen now right?

Linda: All you need is black hair and a cruel expression and you're
all set.

Damien: In addition to being narrator, what else do I have to do?

Linda: Stage sounds and lighting and curtains and all that stuff.

Damien: How am I supposed to do all that?!

Cody: I'll help you with that. (closes his eyes and he began to
meditate.) Summoning the powers from beyond the psyche, I grant this
child before me...the gift of psychic powers. (Cody begins to glow and
there was a wind of magic gusting around the room. Damien suddenly
felt warm and his mind was filled with strange new thoughts. Damien
glows a pinkish aura and the magic fades.)

Damien: Huh? What happened?

Cody: I'm sorry for not asking first. (fell to his knees and groaned.)
Whoa, I'm feeling it.

Linda: What did you do?

Cody: (drinks maple syrup and regains his thoughts.) Oh, I cast a
spell on Damien...I gave him the ability of Telekinesis. That took
more than I thought...

Damien: You mean you cast a spell that...makes be able to move things
without having to actually move them?

Cody: Yeah. I'm not sure the spell worked...why don't you try it out?

Damien: (smirks and says it mischievously.) Okay... (runs out of
the room.)

Cody: (looks at Linda with worry.) He's not going to do anything
weird is he?

Linda: "I hope it doesn't have anything to do with Jam."

Jam: (from his dressing room.) "AUGH! MY DRESSING ROOM IS HAUNTED!!"

Linda and Cody: Ohh... (anime sigh)

Jam: (Runs into Jimmy's room wearing nothing but his boxers.) "C-C-
Cody! There's something evil in my dressing room! My lines and
some other stuff floated off the counter and started flying around!"

Cody: (clenches his fists and growls.) You bet there's something
evil... (stomps out of his dressing room.) Damien! Can I have a
word...

Jam: (looks after him.) "Wow, that dress makes him look a whole lot
slimmer."

Linda: (smiles and rolls her eyes and floats out of Cody's room.)

Jam: I'm just saying is all... (looks at himself.) Whoa! I'd better
go change!

Back on the stage, everyone was dressed in their clothes to do a dress
rehearsal. Kali and Jeanette entered again and saw that everyone was...
kind of familiar with their lines. He looked at them all and smiled.

Toad: Not bad!

Nancy: (wearing a gown that was way too big for her.) Yeah right...I
feel like a pile of dirty clothes...

Jeanette: Hey! You guys look great! (looks over Jam who scowled at
people who were talking and catcalling him.) You look stunning, pink
is really your color. It suits you."

Jam: It does? (Looks over himself and smiles) Wait! No it doesn't!
(glares) No one said I had to wear this stupid frilly dress!

Jeanette: Well it did go out of style two WHOLE weeks ago...and I
ought to know, my name's written on the label!

Jam: You mean I'm wearing YOUR old dress!? (his wig flops over his
eyes.) And what's the deal with all of this curly yellow hair? I
really hate being a princess!

Jeanette: There!! Now you know how it feels!! (Walks back to Kali.)

Kali: We're gonna start now. I'll make all of you eat dust if you
didn't memorize your lines. (raises her arms and screams it real
loud.) LET'S GET STARTED!! (grasps her throat and coughed) Oh man,
I think I hurt my throat... Damien, get to that control tower and
narrate.

Damien: Fine. Teleportation! (Damien glows and vanishes. He appears
inside the tower. He then turns on the mike) Thanks, Cody! (Small
bit of feedback)

Cody: You're welcome! (Waves to him)

That's Part 1!
