THE BASKET BALL BOYS TURNED ASPIRING SINGERS

(After hours on the set of Slam-dunk. Rukawa, Sakuragi, Ryota, Akagi, Mitsui, Kogure, and sendoh are all standing around the staff lounge.)

Akagi: Is everyone else gone?

Rukawa: Yeah.

Akagi: Security cameras off?

Ryota: Yeah.

Akagi: Everyone remember what they're supposed to do?

All: Yeah.

Akagi: All right then, one, two, one, two, three, four!

All (singing): Macho, macho MAN! I want to be a macho man! Singin' MACHO, MACHO MAN!

I've got to be a MACHO!

(Ryota, Sakuragi, and Mitsui start break-dancing. Others clap as they get to the words:)

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! MACHO, MACHO MAN! I'VE GOTTA BE A MACHO MAN!

(Focus on each one in turn, Akagi with his arm in disco position, Ryota passing peace signs over his eyes, Sakuragi jerking his arms up and down, Rukawa doing the Swim, Mitsui free-styling, Sendoh doing the Hustle, and Kogure doing the Funky Chicken)

Outside: Haruko, Ayako, Yayoi,Chihiro  are watching a monitor

HAruko: WHOOO! GO, SAKURAGI!

Ayako: I've never seen Ryota act like THIS before...

Chihiro: I didn't know Mitsui could dance!

Haruko (to Yayoi): I wonder if they know we're taping this?

Back to lounge: Song has ended

Akagi: That was great, guys! But, Sendoh, next time remeber that your a tenor NOT a bass. What song should we sing next?

Mitsui:* Walk Like a Man*

Akagi: Okay, but Kogure is NOT doing YAsuda's part this time.

Sendoh: Oh, man!

Akagi: It's Rukawa's turn this week! Stop complaining!

Sendoh: But I want to sing *Fortunate Son*!

Others: Not again!

Sakuragi: You get some kind of sick pleasure singing that *YOU* aren't a fortunate one, don't you?

Sendoh: But it's a good song!

Sakuragi: You only say that because you always sing the lead!

sendoh: Shut up! You want to make something of it?

Sakuragi: I just might! What are YOU going to do about it?

Sendoh: You're just a punk kid!

Sakuragi: And YOU'RE a pompous idiot!

(The two lunge at each other and begin to fight)

Akagi: Knock it off, you two! Someone might hear!

Rukawa: (ignoring Akagi): Place your bets!

Kogure: Three weeks of cleaning up the stage on Sendoh!

Mitsui: Two on Sakuragi!

Akagi: STOP IT!!!!!

(All turn to stare at him)

Akagi: We'll meet again tomorrow. Same time. We can decide on a song by then.

Outside:

Haruko: This tape might be useful...

Ayako: You know, I found out where they keep the tapes they put on TV. It would be easy to

"Accidentally" switch them...

Authors note: Yasuda's part in *Walk Like a Man* are the falsetto "OOOWEEEOOOOO's" 

Well I write this story because I thought that the other time I create new stories its all heartbreaking or should I say its sort of a dramatic so I decided to light up  my mood by writing some comedy story to release my boredom this 4 days vacation oct 30-nov3 so I ended up creating 2 comedy short story. The other one is "its just a remote control" so I hope you'll like this short fic of mine and remember I LIKE REVIEWS SO AFTER YOU READ THIS FIC PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!
