Narrator: One fine day in Konan, Nuriko was lounging lazily on Chichiri's fishing rock by the tranquil pond.

Nuriko: I'm bored, no da… Crap, I've been around Chichiri too long! ::sigh:: I need something to do… ::lightbulb:: I know! ::grabs some paper, ink and quill from the narrator guy and starts to write::

Narrator: Hey! Give that back!

Nuriko: Aw, be quiet! You've got more!

Narrator: (meanie…)

Nuriko: ::writing:: could he…. Yeah I guess so…. Possibly… if Suzaku's willing and the creeks don't rise… Hmmm…. They're so cute together! Should I? Yeah, totally. They'll kill me for it but it just makes it all more fun. ::laughs:: …. True…. I guess so…. How will I get _him _ to do _this?_ Ooooo I know… ::giggle:: Is there _ anything _ she's good for? Oh, I know! ::insane laugh::

Narrator: A few days later, in a room at Hotohori's palace all of the Suzaku warriors are gathered, except for Nuriko of course….

Nuriko: ::rushes in carrying a big stack of papers:: Hey everyone!

Hotohori: What's that Nuriko?

Nuriko: A play I just finished writing! Guess what! You're all going to help me perform it!

Everyone else: Come again?

Nuriko: Yeah! I made a part especially for each of you! J-just to suit your personalities! ::starts passing out casting papers::

Chichiri: ::raises his eyebrows:: what do you mean 'suits my personality'?!

Nuriko: umm… ummm…

Chichiri: I'm a girl, no da!!!

Tamahome: (I thought that was Nuriko…)

Nuriko: ::glares:: I heard that you know.

Tamahome: I am _so _ scared.

Tasuki: Hah! I'm the lead character! In your face Tamahome!

Miaka: Who am I?

Nuriko: Miss Meadalark…

Miaka: who's that?

Tamahome: She's the…. NURIKO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Nuriko: Hey don't judge it yet! You haven't even seen the outfit!

Tamahome: I DON'T WANT TO!!

Nuriko: (well I figured _ you_ would….)

Tasuki: Hello, didn't anyone hear me? I'm the lead character!

Chiriko: Chichiri, did you take a good look at this?

Chichiri: Why? What is it, no da?

Chiriko: You're the love interest….

Chichiri & Tasuki: I/He what?! ::grr-grr, hiss-hiss::

Tamahome: And Mitsukake has a bigger part than me?! He barely even speaks!

Nuriko: So? You're focused on too much.

Tamahome: What's that suppose to mean?!

Nuriko: Every thing is about you these days! (Well, and Miaka)

Hotohori: Who's this … Pul-it-zer guy? I hope he's as beautiful as I am…

Nuriko: ::sweatdrop:: well.. uh… sure.

Hotohori: Well that's good. Who's playing all these other parts though?

Nuriko: I've got that solved! Follow me. ::leads them outside::

[five dozen bound and gagged mountain bandits, the Seiryu warriors and the loose Kouji were waiting]

Tasuki: Kouji, it's been so long! ::dance, dance, dance::

Nuriko: and that's exactly why Kouji is playing the best friend.

Chichiri: That still doesn't explain why I'm the love interest!

Kouji: Sister! ::hugs Chichiri:: and after you two get married we'll be brother-in-laws!

Chichiri: Get offa me!! (No da)

Tasuki: ::blush, blush, embarrassed laugh:: uh, change of subject please!

Chiriko: But do they know why they're here? ::points at the bound & gagged bandits & Seiryu warriors::

Nuriko: Not yet…

Taiistsukun: ::appears in her chair with Nyan-nyan sitting on her head:: You asked us to come, Nuriko?

Hotohori: (how did he accomplish this?)

Tasuki: AH! It's King Tut's Grandmummy ::glomps Chichiri:: It's horrible.

Taiistsukun: Shut up you! For your information I use to be in Broadway! I played Beauty in Beauty and the Beast!

Tamahome: (Isn't that some sort of oxymoron?)

Chiriko: ::to Mitsukake:: (what's Broadway?)

Mitsukake: ::shrugs::

Chichiri: ::tries to pry Kouji and Tasuki off of him:: Get offa me no da… ::sad face::

Nuriko: Now it's time to practice!

Chiriko: But they're still tied up! ::pointing at many tied up peoples::

Nuriko: oh yea…. Are you all willing to cooperate? ::all the bandits nod…::

Nakago: ::mumble mumble mumble::

Nuriko: what was that?

Nakago: ::muffled screaming::

Nuriko: fine! ::Takes off the gag::

Nakago: What is the meaning of this!

Nuriko: Did you not hear anything I said? Blah, blah ,blah, blah, play blah ,blah, blah, blah ,blah, blah, you blah ,blah, blah, blah ,blah, blah, in it. Blah ,blah, blah, blah ,blah, blah, Okay?

Nakago: ::sweatdrop:: Fine heathen! We'll be in your stupid play just untie us!

Amiboshi: ::ungagged:: Speak for yourself!

Miaka: ::whines:: Oh please, Amiboshi

Amiboshi: Fine! Just stop whining!

Miaka: YAY! Wait a minute…

Nuriko: Okay let's rehearse!

Hotohori: Right. How long do we have?

Nuriko: Umm… two hours…?

Hotohori: What?!

Nuriko: Oh, skip it. Y'all just memorize your lines!

All: Okay….

Chichiri: Wait a minute…. This is a MUSICAL?!
