FINAL FANTASY VII
'A Countdown To Music'
"Hey, everyone! You're not going to believe what I just heard!", shrieked Aeris.
"What?", mumbled Cloud. "Did somebody die?"
"No, silly!", Aeris groaned. "Dio, the owner of the Gold Saucer, is holding auditions today for a new band! You all know what this means, don't you?! If we participate, then we could become famous!"
"We already are famous!", yelled Barrett. "We saved the planet from Meteor, remember?!"
"Oh, alright!", she pouted. "Famouser, then!"
"Aeris, why would we want to join a band?", asked Tifa. "We can't even sing!"
"Oh, Tifa! These days, record producers aren't interested in whether you can sing or not! They're just interested in the persons looks!", explained Aeris.
"Well, that means I'm out then.", Barrett slurred.
Later that day, the whole party headed on over to the Gold Saucer. The place was packed with thousands and thousands of young people.
"Woah! You weren't exaggerating Aeris!", Tifa gasped. "I've never seen anything like it!"
Just then, Dio wandered out in front of the audience.
"Heh, still prancin' around in his undies, huh?", chuckled Cid.
"Good afternoon, everybody!", Dio smiled. "Welcome to the Gold Saucer. As you all know, we're holding auditions here today for a brand new pop group, and not just any pop group either. This pop group will be the greatest pop group in the entire world! They'll pop group, pop group, pop group and pop group their way to stardom!"
"Did you understand any of that?!", choked Barrett.
"Quiet, Barrett!", Aeris snapped. "We have to listen!"
"So, if you think you have what it takes, then head on over to Event Square, where our panel of expert judges will assess you on song, dance and... other areas."
"Cool!", cheered Aeris.
"I didn't get any of that!", sighed Cid. "Can someone please explain it again?!"
"I wish you all good luck!", Dio smirked. "And remember; only the best will do!"
The party followed the crowd to Event Square. There were four familiar looking people on stage.
"Hey, those guys on stage: are they the judges?", wondered Aeris.
"Yeah, I think.", said Cloud. "I've seen them before..."
"You fool!", Barrett grunted. "That's Tseng, Reno, Rude and Elena! It's them Turks!"
"Tseng? Isn't he dead?", thought Red XIII.
"No, you're thinkin' of Ex-President Rufus.", Barrett told him.
"Oh, yeah.", mumbled Red XIII. "So, Aeris, shall we proceed?"
The party gathered at the front of the stage. The Turks gave a shriek of delight upon their arrival.
"Well, well, well!", laughed Tseng. "If it isn't those annoying AVALANCHE members again."
"Oh my God!", Elena bloated. "Don't tell me they wanna join a sissy pop band?! Jesus Christ!"
"Hey, we deserve a fair go! Just like everyone else here!", retorted Aeris.
"They're right, y'know?", Reno whispered to Tseng.
"Of course, you are! Infact, I'll even go as far as to let all of you have your audition before anybody else!"
"Wow! Thanks!" Aeris giggled. "Let's rock and roll... or something similar."
Over the next few weeks, the thousands and thousands of original participants were narrowed down to just nine lucky people. Those people included: Cloud Strife, Barrett Wallace, Tifa Lockheart, Aeris Gainsborough, Red XIII, Yuffie Kisaragi, Cait Sith, Vincent Valentine, and Cid Highwind. They all waited nervously on stage in Event Square.
"Woohoo!" Aeris yelled. "I can't believe we made it this far! How did we manage it?!"
"Probably somethin' to do with the pressure we put on the other jackasses who wanted to be in this group.", said Barrett.
"Hello everyone.", yelped Dio, as he hopped onto the stage. "Congratulations to you all, but as you all know, only five of you can go through to become members of the best pop group in the world... ever!"
"Is this gonna take long?", grumbled Yuffie. "Cause, uh, I sacrificed dinner with Reno of the Turks just for this."
"The results have been compiled.", flinched Dio. "Okay, our new pop group will consist of..."
TO BE CONTINUED...
Who will the new pop group consist of?! How will they cope with the pressure of stardom?! Will Yuffie get her date with Reno?! Will Aeris actually die?! When will these stupid questions end?! Find out the answer to only a few of these things in the next exciting chapter of 'A Countdown To Music'!
