A/N: Here's the next part! It gets funnier…lol…Enjoy! I'm too bored right now…
Disclaimer: I wanna sleep, but I'm not tired…I don't own N2N and I don't own RENT….Hey! *Grabs Mark and Henry* Now I have TWO shoulder to sleep on!
*I fall asleep.*
*Mark and Henry run away*
"Now wouldn't be a good time to tell him that we're getting married, would it?" Henry asked, almost as intimidated as Mark.
"No," Natalie responded, throwing herself on the ground next to Mark. "No it wouldn't."
Angel looked scared as hell as she ran up to Collins saying, "Um…that's not what was going on, sugar."
"Yeah! You just made things worse!" Mimi shouted at him.
"Hey, chica, no need to get all defensive-"
"I'M NOT GETTING DEFENSIVE!"
Maureen, who had found herself a comfortable perch on Gabe's lap, giggled.
Everyone just stopped at stared at her.
"What?!"
"Nothing. It's just your head is so misshaped." Natalie pointed out, examining her nails, waiting for Mark to wake up. She tilted her head and giggled. "Ha! Hey, Henry, if you look at it this way it looks like a deformed peanut!"
Roger took her advice and did the same. "Maureen has a peanut head!"
Maureen looked about ready to strangle him into oblivion. She turned back to Gabe and pouted, "Is my head really misshaped?"
He shook his head and responded, sweetly, "No. It's normal shaped. My sister's just a messed-up drug addict." He glared over at Natalie, who was rolling her eyes at him.
"Oh my God, are you really flirting with her, Gabriel?" She asked her brother, waiting for an intelligent response.
"Hey, I've been dead for sixteen years. I deserve some action!" He said then firmly planted a huge kiss right on Maureen's lips.
"Eeew!" Natalie squealed, turning away from them, shuddering slightly.
"What?" Gabe retorted. "It's not like we haven't all seen you and Henry do it?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…" Diana interrupted. "Do what?"
"Nothing! We do nothing!" Natalie screamed back, getting overly defensive.
"Um…I'd hate to break up a family conflict," Joanne said, grabbing onto Maureen jealously, her grip almost breaking her arm. "but Mark's up."
They all ran to Mark who was in a fetal position, sucking his thumb on the floor.
"Wow, that's pathetic." Benny remarked, happily being given dialogue.
"Mark? Mark, it's ok." Mimi said, trying to console her boyfriend's wimpy best friend.
Mark was still rolled up into a little ball, now rocking back and forth.
"See what you did?" Mimi said once again, slapping Collins on the shoulder.
"What? I didn't know!"
"Hey!" Angel yelled at Mimi (Yes. Angel yelled.). "No yelling at Collins!"
"Don't yell at Mimi!" Roger intervened, slapping Angel. Everyone gasped.
Angel took a moment to evaluate the situation. She then took her giant platform shoe off her foot and banged it against Roger's head. Roger went to hit Angel, but he missed and hit Benny instead. Benny hit Roger. Maureen hit Benny. Benny hit Joanne. Joanne hit Maureen. They were all in a giant mosh pit of fists while Mark still sat in a ball on the floor.
The Next to Normal cast looked on with disbelief. How could this be happening? One minute they were in insanity in their own little world. Now they were in even more insanity, they lost Dan, Gabe was in love with a woman probably about twice his age, Diana was being pulled to the last straw, and Natalie and Henry were…well, Natalie and Henry. Then all of the sudden heard what sounded like an electric current. They all turned around.
They all gasped as they saw a dark, shadowy figure emerge from the darkness. Once it hit the light, they found out it was Dr. Madden, carrying a shocker. He blew on the top of it like you would with a gun. "I think I can help with your problem." he said mysteriously.
"Wait." Maureen asked, in the middle of biting Benny's arm. "Who the hell is that guy?"
Roger proudly smiled and said, "That's Dr…Mmm..aaaa…"
"Oh, God…" Mimi sighed, even more irritated than before.
"Um…Mmmmm…aaa-"
"MADDEN!" The Next to Normal people shouted, already sick of the people they had been placed with.
"Oh yeah!"
The fight continued. Mark continued to roll around, and now Diana, Gabe, Natalie and Henry were all fighting with each other for no apparent reason. The sound of electric crackling was heard again and everyone stopped and stared at the doctor.
"Ok, I have shock therapy and I'm not afraid to use it!" he shouted, yielding his weapon.
"We'll be quiet now…" Diana muttered softly, sitting on the ground next to Mark.
"How are you gonna help us do anything?" Benny asked, both hands cupped around Maureen's neck.
"Well, first of all," the doctor started. "Let's stop beating each other up…"
"Awwww…" Maureen pouted.
"And you four," He said, referencing his fellow castmates who were still fighting for no specific reason. "Grow up."
"But she started it!" Gabe shouted, pointing at Natalie.
"Did not! She yelled back.
"Did to!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TO!"
"Oh my God, you're like Maureen and Joanne on protest day!" Roger commented, getting annoyed with their bickering.
"And what are you doing?" Dr. Madden asked Henry who had retreated in a corner with Collins.
"Nothing…" he responded, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
"Is that pot?"
"No…"
"TO MARIJUANA!" Collins shouted, again all too stupidly making things worse.
"Ok, give me those." Dr. Madden told them.
"NO!!!!" They both shouted defensively.
Unfortunately for Henry and Collins, in a fit of anger, the doctor ran over to them , took the joints and crushed them into the ground.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Collins lamented. "WHY MUST THE GOOD DIE YOUNG?!"
Angel and Gabe both shared glares of irony.
"OH MY GOD! MARK IS SPEAKING!" Diana cheered, trying to get everyone's attention.
"Not now, lady…We are getting a lesson in…whatever it is he is teaching us. "Roger commented back.
Meanwhile, Mark was still in a ball, one eye twitching, mumbling unintelligible blabber.
"Ok, say that again?" Diana asked, trying to translate.
"MMmphhhh….mphhhh MMPPPHHH!"
"One more time…?"
"MMMPHHHH….MPHHHH MMPPPHHH!
"Oohhh….I get it…why didn't you say so in the first place?"
"Hmmph…"
"You did?"
"Mmmhmm."
"Ok!"
She skipped over to the group and translated Mark's mumbling.
"Ok, Mark says, 'Collins, you idiot, I'm gonna kill you in your sleep.'"
"Over my dead body, Marky." Angel protested.
"Isn't that a bit too ironic?" Mimi commented.
"How the hell do you understand what he's saying?" Dr. Madden asked.
Diana grinned proudly and said, "I have like a sixth sense or something…"
"Oh, God…" Natalie groaned. Entirely sickened by Gabe and Maureen's little public display of affection, she quickly walked past them, pushing Maureen's off his lap, causing her to fall on the ground, dragging him down with her.
Maureen took a second and then grabbed onto Natalie's ankle, causing her to fall over as well. Then she slapped Maureen, and Maureen slapped her back. Before long the little spat turned into an all out cat fight.
"Um, hey, I don't think that's a very safe maneuver…" Henry tried to intervene, until Roger pushed him out of the way.
"SHHHHH! I love watching girl fights!"
"But, seriously, I think you should-"
"What can possibly happen?"
Just then, Maureen and Natalie both had a tight grip on each other.
"I'm not letting go. Are you letting go?" Maureen asked, getting dizzy from all the blood rushing to her head.
"Hell no! I'm not letting go 'til you let go!" Natalie screamed back.
"I can do this all day!"
"Well, bring it on, Twinkle Toes!"
"Hey! My toes do NOT twinkle…only when I where my socks with the little lights on them…"
"What?!"
Suddenly, Maureen found an opportunity to finally pin Natalie to the ground. She laughed like a deranged maniac shouting, "You don't mess with the Johnson!"
"I still don't see any danger. What can possibly happen now?" Roger asked.
Without warning, Natalie jumped up off the ground, catching Maureen off guard, and punched her in the face, causing her to fall back onto the ground.
"That'll happen." Henry finished, staring at Roger's shocked expression, his mouth agape.
All of the sudden, Dr. Madden ran up behind Natalie and shocked her.
"No…No! Bad Natalie! BAD!"
"OOWW! OK STOP! I'M DONE!"
The Bohos all stared in slight horror. "Oh, shit…"
Just the Mark became fully conscious again.
"Hey guys, I'm better now! What's going on?"
Maureen, who had a bloody nose, walked up to him and said, "Someday when you win back your girl and you become that bitch's stepfather, ground her for me, will you?"
Mark stared at her with the confusion, not about her bloody nose, but about winning back the girl.
"Whoa, whoa whoa….I never said I wanted to win her back…"
Everyone stopped and stared at Mark now.
"Now you HATE ME?!" Diana cried, bursting out into frantic tears.
"No, all I meant was-!"
"WAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"No, really, I meant-!"
"WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Dr. Madden took his shockers over to Mark and shocked him as well.
"DON'T UPSET HER! IT'S A DELICATE SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLED AS SUCH!"
"WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?" Mark yelled in between shocks.
"BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL SUPERIOR!"
All commotion began to get out of control as a loud whistle was heard. All eyes turned towards Dr. Madden.
"Ok, all of you! The only way we can cope in this situation is if we get to understand each other. Ok? So why don't we all just calm down, and just talk."
Both casts stared at each other awkwardly. No one said a single word, only pissing off Dr. Madden even more.
"Ok, Diana, why don't you start?"
She just groaned and said, "Why? I don't wanna express my deep, dark, inner feelings with people I don't know…"
"Oh, my God, Diana, it's a FUCKIN' ICEBREAKER!"
She shrugged and continued. "Ok…what should I talk about?"
"Anything…"
"Ok! Hi, I'm Diana-"
"Hi, Diana…" Everyone else said through their teeth.
"And…um…well….I'm bipolar!"
Everyone exchanged looks of confusion.
"Ok, who's going next?" Dr. Madden asked.
Both casts avoided eye contact with him and just looked around everywhere, hoping that they wouldn't be picked next. The only person raising their hand….was Angel.
"Yes, Angel, would you like to go?"
"Yep!" She merrily skipped to the front of the group and said, "Hi! I'm Angel!"
"Hi, Angel…."
"Well, I'm actually a guy, but I dress as a girl and everyone calls me a 'she' but I'm a 'he.' I'm in love with Collins, who's right over there, and I play the drums, and I make my own clothes, and me and Mimi are best friends, and-!"
"Ok, Angel…" Dr. Madden said, slightly pushing her back to the group. "I think that's enough…"
"Too….much…information…" Henry shuddered.
"Well? Anyone?"
Everyone shook their heads. Dr. Madden was on his last straw. He finally said, "Well, why don't we try a different tactic? I'll pair you up with someone and you try to put yourself in that person's shoes."
"Eeew!" Maureen exclaimed. "I don't wanna wear other people's shoes!"
He looked just about ready to shoot her in the head.
"May I have permission to slap her again?" Natalie asked, slightly offended by Maureen's stupidity.
"No, Natalie. You may not slap Maureen. Now, I think you two will be our first pair…"
"NOOOOOO!" They both screamed on top of their lungs.
"HOLY SHIT! SHE'S GONNA PUNCH ME AGAIN!" Maureen squealed.
Dr. Madden then pushed them off to the side. He scanned the crowd in front of him and said, "Hmmm…How about Angel and Benny?"
"Ok!" Angel said happily while Benny just groaned.
"Gabe and Henry."
"What?! Why?!" Henry whined, kind of alarmed by the fact that he was gonna try to pretend to be his girlfriend's dead brother.
"Everyone knows I think he's an asshole…" Gabe commented, keeping it cool.
"You think I'm an asshole?!" Henry asked him. Apparently everyone knew but the asshole himself. "Well, look at you, you dead son of a bitch!"
"Hey, my mother is not a bitch! Well….sometimes. But for the most part she is very not bitchy!"
The two boys continued into a death stare. In self-defense, Dr. Madden moved the entire group about 10 feet away from them. He continued.
"Roger and Joanne. Collins and Diana. Mark and Mimi. Now…go."
