Welcome to my new Randy Cunningham story. Enjoy and send ideas you might have through personal messages.
Auditions
The line for auditions seemed to go a mile. Randy was waiting in line Howard was waiting in line Heidi was waiting in line Bash was waiting in line. Why was there a line? Because the person directing a movie for Norrisville High was putting those auditioning for parts in alphabetical order! Who was the person directing? The Freak of Freaks, the King of the Deformed the Emperor of the Disfigured the Sovereign of Ugly: Ken Finlayson!
The movie was called "Norrisville in the Stratosphere." If that didn't say 1960's comic book based cartoon ridiculous then what did?
What was the plot?
A mad scientist known as Dr. Assassination takes control of a nuclear reactor and uses to create an anti-gravity field that lifts the entire city of Norrisville into the stratosphere, holding it ransom for 100 million dollars, the reactor and amnesty. Kenneth Baker, the Ninja, reluctantly breaks his date to Mary Mac to save the city before Dr. Assassination sends it crashing down. There radiation weakens the Ninja but he is able to regain enough to strength to defeat Dr. Assassination.
That was the plot. It was as ridiculous as it got!
Randy was hoping to get the role of the Ninja. He was already the Ninja so playing the Ninja would be easy! Plus he'd get some good romantic scenes with Theresa Fowler if she got the part of Mary Mac. But knowing Ken he'd probably pair him with Flute Girl!
Then the auditions began! Then they got to the C's and Randy was called in. Sitting in a chair like a frog on a log, Ken Finlayson stared at Randy.
Ken was wearing glasses with removable sunglasses lens. His right eye was bulging, his right hand had only three fingers, his white hair, his brown eyes, his face looked like it was covered in an acid scar but really he was just born that way, he was freakish in appearance. The rest of his appearance was better left undescribed!
"Okay, who are you auditioning for, Randy?" Ken was speaking with a German accent. Why was he speaking in a German accent? He usually spoke in a Southern accent despite being from Canada so he should have an accent like Randy or any other person in Norrisville so why was Ken speaking in a German accent?
"Uh, the Ninja…"
"You're our Ninja!" Ken just waved Randy away.
Randy was confused. Had McFist hypnotized Ken? Was Ken to choose the first person to audition for the Ninja? But wait! Randy couldn't have been the first person to play the Ninja. Had Ken recognized Randy as the Ninja? He must have! Ken was too smart! Randy would have to start using a different voice as the Ninja.
Then Bash came in once they got to the J's. "I'm auditioning for da Ninja!"
"Okay, you're our Ninja!" Ken was speaking in an Irish accent. Bash didn't even notice. He just walked out and cheered.
"I'M THE NINJA!" This left Randy shocked! Absolutely shocked! Had Ken changed his mind?
Then after much waiting for the W's, Heidi walked into the gym and there sitting was Ken. He was smiling. "There is my co-director!" Ken was speaking in his normal accent. His southern accent, which made no sense since Ken was Canadian and they sounded no different than anyone in Norrisville.
Being called "co-director" just caused Heidi to smile. "Co-director? I like the sound of that!" Then the smile vanished. "Ken, Bash wasn't really your decision for the Ninja is he?"
"Oh, of course not. Candy, Bash and your brother will just fight it out."
Heidi then walked over to Ken and sat on his lap. The bulge in Ken's right eye vanished and for that one moment he looked almost normal, not freakish. Then she put a hand on his shoulder. "Ken, honey…" She was talking slowly. "Bash will kill them!"
"Not if I cheat, gentle nymph!"
"'Gentle nymph?' Have you ever used that before?"
"Actually, I have not!" Ken moved in to kiss Heidi only for her to leave him. He sighed and looked at the list. It was time for Howard to come in. He had used a German accent for Randy, an Irish accent for Bash, so which accent would he use for Howard?
Ken picked up his list of accent and closed his eyes. He'd choose randomly! He brought down his finger on Outer Mongolian. That was easier: one third Scottish, one third Italian, one third Danish.
Howard walked in. Ken asked him what role he was auditioning for. Howard told him that he was auditioning for the Ninja. Ken then told Howard that he was their Ninja.
