MANILOW: *spitting a starfish out of his mouth * I feel refreshed!

T: Dear god! Is there any way to make him stop smiling?!

SHADI: He's some form of evil..Happy..Demon!

MANILOW: It's because I can't smile, without you! Everyone!

Crickets can be heard in the background.

T: I think he scrambled his brain when he walked into that wall.

SHADI: *nods *

MANILOW: No, but I needed reconstructive surgery on my nose. It hurt.

T: Disclaimer time!

MANILOW: T does not own Star Wars, LOTR, South Park, Yu-Gi-Oh.. And the list is only going to get longer, people! You're right, this is annoying. *Pause * Can I sing now?

T: Do Copacabana!

MANILOW: Oh, that's so depressing. How about Made it through the rain?

T: Copacabana! Or would you like to be sent to Davy Jones for more then a dip?

MANILOW: Who is this Davy Jones? He sounds like a good guy.. But sure, I'll do Copacabanna.

T: Yay! *Shadi grabs her to dance * Damn!

MANILOW: Her name was Lola; she was a showgirl, with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there! She could meringue, and do the cha-cha, but while she tried to be a star Tony always tended bar! Across the crowded floor, he worked from eight till four. But they were young and they had each other, who could ask for more! Down at the Copa, Copacabanna, the hottest spot north of Havana.

Chapter Ten

IN WHICH THERE IS A NASTY CLOG

The house was a veritable mess. Legolas, who was probably the least hurt (besides Cartmen) was the first to regain consciousness. He helped Yoda unfurl himself from the rug, and, laughing at Yugi and Bakura's stupidity, lowered the chandelier. Yugi let his Yami, Han and Chewie out from the closet. They went upstairs, and unlocked Leia, and helped dripping Yami from being drowned. Tea and Gandalf, regained consciousness, and, feeling very stupid, trooped upstairs and let a still screaming Gollum out of the cupboard.
Elrond, who had woken up with Cartmen clinging to him, scowled and shoved him aside, before staggering up to find some aspirin. Afterwards, the houshare met in the living room, to try and figure out how all of that had happened.
"So let me get this straight." Han said, head in hands. "Cartmen, you dumped water on Elrond, who chased you and ran into the clock. Next, you bumped into Tea, who screamed, waking up Gollum, who ran out of the closet. Legolas, you ran in to get the hair dryer piece, but Gollum saw you and ran, tripping over you, Elrond, who yelled, waking us up." He said, motioning to Chewie, himself and Yami Yugi.
" Cartmen, you locked us in. We pounded on the door, waking up Gandalf who ran into the cellar and into Tea, and both passed out. Yugi and Bakura, you heard this, somehow managing to pole-vault yourselves onto the chandelier. Yami, you wanted to get in on it, and being the idiot that you are, got locked in the shower where Yoda turned the water on. You screamed like a girl, and Yoda, you ran from the bathroom, into Leia, who locked herself in the closet. You got wrapped up in the carpet, rolled down the stairs, knocking over Legolas. Gollum, you started screaming, scared Cartmen and locked yourself in the cupboard, and Cartmen ended up with Elrond. Now.." Said Han, catching his breath after the long explanation. "Why did you dump water on him?"
Cartmen shrugged. The rest of the Houshare, who all had bags under their eyes, groaned.
"Let's just have breakfast and forget about it." Leia said, and the rest of the Houshare trooped upstairs to change.
Unfortunately for Leia, it was her turn to make breakfast. She shoved Cartmen aside, threatening to put him in the freezer, and he backed away, cursing.
Needing water to make the coffee, she turned on the tap, but no water emerged. "Great. Just Great." She muttered, whacking the faucet and trying again. Frustrated, she yanked open the cupboard doors and stared at the pipes, which bulged abnormally.
A long, low gurgling noise sounded, and brown slime oozed up slowly from the drain. Leia backed away, confused. She bumped into Cartmen, who was gorging himself on the eggs she had just finished making. "Hey!" she called, slapping his hand. "Have you been screwing with the drain?"
He laughed. "Sick!" She muttered. "No, I haven't been fucking with the drain. Maybe it was pointy hat." He replied, still refusing to use Gandalf's real name.
"Gandalf!" Leia called. "He's in the shower!" Yugi replied. "Okay!" She turned back to Cartmen, eyeing him suspiciously. "It wasn't me!" he called, as if reading her mind.
"No matter. It has to come out." She said, banging and clanking at the pipes. She had them all unscrewed in a flash, but they were still held together by the same, oozing slime. She poked at it, and it seemed to quiver like jell-o. She punched, beat and pulled at it, but it always seemed to spring back. Leia had been at it for about an hour, and the rest of the houshare had seemed to forget about breakfast anyway, and were all upstairs, asleep. Except for Elrond, who had been quite absorbed in a book, but was disturbed by the clamour from the kitchen.
"What's this?" He asked, startling Leia, who stood up too fast, hitting her head on the cabinet. She swore and rubbed her head, and Cartmen laughed.
"My offer for the freezer still stands!" She shrieked, grabbing the obese boy and shoving him in, slamming the door. Incoherent screams were heard, and Elrond smiled. "A very clever idea." she smiled back. "Thanks." His eyes widened at the sight of the slime. "What-" "I have no idea." She said, wincing from the pain. "I've had no luck with it, maybe you could give it a try."
So Elrond rolled up his sleeves, and tried for close to two hours to unclog the sink. Leia had retired to her room, and he was left to curse, and was up to his elbows in slime. But the clog would not budge.
Hours later, every member of the houshare had tried to unclog the sink, and soon it was Elrond's second try. Gandalf's would have been longer, but now he was chasing Cartmen, who had miraculously escaped the freezer, because of his comment about his 'hocus pocus'.
"I'll show you where the rabbit comes out!" They heard Gandalf yell from the next room.
"Will you be quiet so I can think! Honestly, there's no strength left in the world of men!" Elrond cried, kicking the pipe in rage.
None knew how, but that kick had managed to do it. The blob flew from the drain, bowling over Elrond, who swore in elvish and stared in wonder at the slime with eyes before him.
"Jabba the Hut!" Han said, backing away. The blob frowned at him, and gurgled something. "I swear, the check is in the mail!" Jabba gurgled something else. "We're going to be waiting a while." Han mumbled under his breath. Jabba gazed at Leia and opened his mouth.
"Don't even think about it!" She snapped. Jabba turned to Elrond, and gave a series of incoherent gurgles.
"You're welcome." Elrond replied, to everyone's surprise. " You can understand that?"
"That Moron Isildur spoke the same when he was drunk."

Now it's a disco, not thirty years ago, when they used to have a show. She sits there so refined, drinking her scotch and lime, faded feathers in her hair, in that dress she used to wear.

Manilow tugs on the mike cord, spelling "In which Martha Stewart raises some hell."

MANILOW: Well, that was fun! *Smiles * Thanks for having me!

T: *trying to pry Shadi, who is still dancing, off * don't mention it. Can you tell them to read and review?

MANILOW: Read and review, people! And don't fall in love; you might just end up like Lola.

T: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
