Okay so, not many people said anything about the whole human Nomicon thing (seriously, maybe like...two people?) And they said different things and because I kinda want to do the human Nomicon thing, I'm guess I'm gonna do it...
Also, the things used in the play were gotten from the internet, don't be all "OMG this girl thinks of cool stuff!" because I'm getting a lot of info from online, now. ON WITH THE SHOW!
Randy looked at the board. How could he be the Mad Hatter? He wasn't that good and acting and singing or stuff...or at least he didn't think he was. He looked at the board again. He sighed then looked at the clock on the wall. He had some time before he had to go to class. And he knew just where he wanted to spend it...
Randy opened the doors to the drama department. "Ms. Rin! I'd like to-" he then stopped when he saw the stage. It was covered in greenery and odd props. There were huge flowers with faces on them, and hanging above it all was a glittery crescent moon. He raised and eyebrow. What? he thought, but Randy's thoughts were cut off by an echoing voice from, well, all around.
"Welcome! Welcome! Randy!" Ms. Rin's voice was all around. He spun around thinking she was behind him, then looked to his right when he thought she was there. "What?". Ms. Rin walked out from behind a curtain on the stage. She was had her long brown hair pulled back in a bun and was wearing a wispy light pink dress.
Randy walked to the stage. "Ms. Rin, I think there's been an understanding-" he began, but Ms. Rin cut him off. "Ah! No, I know you're here because you don't think you should be the Mad Hatter!" she said. She turned around and started walking off the stage. Randy followed her. "W-well yeah...I was thinking you might have wanted to pick someone else..." he said.
Ms. Rin spun around, and Randy ducked to avoid be hit with a fan she was holding. When did she get that?! he asked himself. Ms. Rin smiled down at Randy. "Oh no Randy. I made no mistake..." Randy's eyes widened.
"What do you mean you didn't make a mistake?! Why didn't you chose Julian?! He's creepy and he's already got a top hat!" he said.
Ms. Rin sighed and waved her fan at her. She sighed. "Randy, I chose you to be the Mad Hatter because you really have some talent..." she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. She smiled. "Just give it a try..."
Randy sighed. The bell rang and he walked to the exit. He looked over his shoulder and yelled to Ms. Rin. "I'll think about it!" he said. Ms. Rin smiled. That's what they always say...
Randy walked to his next class. Wondering about the school play. It just wasn't really his sort of thing. I mean, he liked doing stuff like at Battle of The Bands but the school play...that wasn't anything like it. Randy was walking when he bumped into someone. His books clattered to the floor and he helped the person he had knocked down back to their feet. When he pulled them up he saw who it was.
It was Heidi.
And she had her camera hat on. Dammit...he thought.
Heidi looked at him and in her usual peppy voice, said "Mandy! Just the person I wanted to see!" by now Randy wasn't even going to correct her. He raised an eyebrow. "Why would you want to see me?" he asked. Heidi laughed and focused the camera on him. "Because of the school play silly!" she said. Randy's eyes widened. "Oh, wait! No, I-" Heidi cut him off and went on with her web show.
"The school play this year is Alice in Wonderland, and I hear that you're the Mad Hatter!" she said smiling. She then reached into her backpack and grabbed a chart. It had a picture of each character in the play and who would be playing them. Right next to the Mad Hatter was Randy. She pointed to her chart.
"Mr. Freshman here is the crazy Mad Hatter.." she said. She then smiled to her camera and leaned in. "And from what I've heard he really makes you think he's insane..." from the background Randy spoke up. "W-well I wouldn't say I'm insane..." but oddly enough, when he was playing the Mad Hatter the whole crazy thing came to Randy easily.
Heidi kept on talking. "As the Cheshire Cat we have Theresa Fowler, The March Hare is Julian, Bash and Mic are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Bucky is Dormouse, Debby Kang is The Queen of Hearts, Stevens is the White Rabbit, Morgan is the White Queen..." at that moment Randy imagined Morgan as the White Queen.
~Randy's Imagination~
Morgan wore a big white dress and a white wig. "Like, I'm the rightful queen of Underland but my sis took the crown from me..." she said in her usual way. She then walked off with her hands out. "I'm good at chess yall..."
~Back to Reality~
Randy stifled a laugh. Heidi was now pointing at herself and had the camera pointed at her. "And I'm Alice Kingsleigh!" she said with a triumphant smile. She then looked back at the camera in excitement. "The play will be like the movie more than the book so I get to slay the Jabberwocky!" she said. (it's actually called the Jabberwock so it's going to switch back and forth a lot)
"The Jabberwock will be a super top notch robot!" she said with excitement. She then lifted a finger and leaned into the camera. "Courtesy of McFist Industries..." she said with a smile. Randy sighed and let his head down. Yay...I giant monstrous robot from McFist industries...
Heidi then began to wrap up her blog when she turned to Randy. "Anything you'd like to say Mr. Hatter?" she said. Randy looked at the camera. "Uh...bye?" he said. From behind the camera Heidi sighed. She flipped the camera off and handed Randy a slip of paper. He took it. "What's this?" he said.
Heidi started to pack her things. "It's a slip you need to give to your teacher to explain you were on my web-show so you don't get into trouble..." she said. When she was done, she got up. "Bye Sandy!" she said. Randy sighed and walked to class.
When he got there. he handed his paper to Mr. Bannister who looked at it with a with his eyebrows raised. "What's this supposed to be?" he asked. Randy put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "Heidi gave it to me because she had to stop me for her web show..." he said. Mr. Bannister looked at it again. "Hey, what's you name?" Randy eyes widened. He then went and looked at the card.
"Aw, man! She got my name wrong again?!"he yelled. On the card it said "Andy Cunningham, 9th grade" Mr. Bannister shrugged. "Close enough..." he said.
Randy walked to his seat and faced the board. In front of him sat Howard and on his left was Julian. Randy sat bored throughout the rest of his class, trying hard not to fall asleep.

McFist was walking into Viceroy's lab drinking his coffee. "Hey Viceroy, you working on anything e- OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT?!" he yelled. When he had walked into the room he was faced with a huge, half monster half robot. Viceroy walked from behind the monster thingy. He smiled. "This, is the Jabberwock. It's made out of robotics and some monster evilness that I created myself..." the mad scientist said.
"You see, I signed you up to produce a Jabberwocky (see I told you it'd switch off) for your son's school play..." he said. McFist frowned. "Why the juice would you do that?" he said. Viceroy smiled. "That's because there is a scene where Alice has to fight the Jabberwock.." he added, "the play's more of the movie instead of the book..." Viceroy then went back to his previous sentence.
"When Alice has to fight the Jabberwocky, that is when it will cause its destruction and then the Ninja-" Viceroy then motioned to his Jabberwocky. "Will have to battle this guy..." he said with a smile. McFist raised a hand to his face, thinking about it. "Good plan..." he began. McFist pumped a fist in the air. "GLAD I THOUGHT OF IT!" he yelled. Viceroy rolled his eyes.

Randy stayed after school to work on the school's play. He began walking to the theater room when his backpack had a red glow from within it. The Ninja Nomicon... Randy thought. He looked to his left and went into the boy's bathroom. He walked to a stall and opened it, sat down, and closed the door. Randy opened the book. "Okay Nomicon, what do you got for me?" he asked. Randy then felt the nostalgic rush of vertigo as his soul was sucked into the 800 hundred year old book.
Randy was falling in the Nomicon. No, it was more as if he was floating. As he floated down, around him were broken beds, a piano, a tree, and a tea set (but not the Asian kind). Randy then floated to the ground, his feet touching the ground leaving ripples. He looked down. It was as if he was standing on water. Randy looked a head and walked. In front of him was an odd sight. The mouse, a hare, and someone (yet he couldn't see who) were having a tea party.
In midair.
The table was floating in the air with its contents on top, while the chair and its inhabitants sat in them. Randy jumped to try and see who the 3rd party was, but couldn't. He looked at one of the chairs. If it can hold them, can it hold me? he thought. Randy jumped up and grabbed a chair leg. It began sinking, but then floated back up. He couldn't help but smile. "Shweet!" he said.
Randy pulled himself up onto the chair and looked to where the other mysterious person sat. They wore a big, black top hat that had some playing cards sticking out of it and covered the wearer's eyes. Randy actually couldn't see the face, but he could see some red hair from beneath the hat. (*cough* cameo *cough*)
The wearer of the hat waved an arm and words appeared behind him.
*Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but beware when it's from an enemy...
Randy was reading the words, but not thinking about them. He was too focused on who was wearing the top hat. Wait... thought Randy. March hair, Dormouse, and... Randy looked at the mysterious person. "Oh it's me! The Mad Hatter!" he said. Randy looked again. "No, I don't have red hair..." he said. Suddenly the room began to shake and Randy fell out of his chair. "Woah!" he said.
Randy then fell out of the floating tea party, but longer than he had before. "aaaAAA!" Randy yelled as he felled. Instead of hitting the ground though, Randy was submerged in water. The water surrounded him, clear and cool, yet this was unlike the last time Randy was underwater in the Nomicon. This time, Randy felt as if he was drowning. As he felt his soul travel back to his body, Randy looked up at the floating tea party and at the red haired Mad Hatter.
When Randy was brought back to his body he gasped. He felt his heart racing, and he was gasping for breath. It felt so real... he thought. Randy then looked down at his watch. Shit! I'm late for an important date! he thought. He grabbed the Nomicon and shoved it in his bag. As he ran out of the bathroom, Randy stopped. Right now he was outside of the auditorium. Wait, did I just say-
The door behind Randy opened. Ms. Rin was looking at him, motioning for him to come inside. "Hatter! Come on! Rehearsal's already started!" she said. Randy sighed and walked in. On the stage, Julian, Debby, Theresa, Heidi, Morgan, Bucky, Bash, and Mic were either sitting down or helping the stage crew. Randy walked over and climbed onto the stage, next to Theresa.
"So what are we doing?" he asked. Theresa shrugged. "Nothing yet..."From Randy's right side, Julian appeared. "So Randy, I heard you were the Mad Hatter..." he said. Randy turned to him. "Oh man, I'm sorry! I didn't mean-" but Julian waved him off. "Randy I'm fine, I just wanted to ask if I could make you a hat" he said. Randy sighed. Good, I thought Julian was angry or something...
From behind them, Heidi began talking. "Wait, you can make hats?" she asked. Julian looked at her with a raised eyebrow and friendly smile. "I made this one..." he said. Heidi nodded. "I thought you bought it online or something..." Julian smiled and acted as if he was offended. "Bitch, this is one of a kind!" he said. Everyone began laughing, until Ms. Rin came up and started clapping her hands.
"Okay, c'mon people! It's time to start working, and stop playing!" she said. She pointed. "Now lets learn everyone's songs!" she said. Randy groaned. McFist, send a robot here and kill me... he thought.
The next few hours were painful. They had to sing, learn roles, dance, and a whole bunch of other wonky stuff Randy didn't want to do. The only time Randy was actually enjoying himself a little was when he learned he got to play a song on the guitar. He perked up a little.
"On the guitar?" he asked, curious. Ms. Rin smiled. "Yes Randy, you'll be playing to get Alice feeling confident about slaying the Jabberwocky..." she said. She handed Randy the sheet music. "Thanks I-" Randy's eyes widened when Ms. Rin then gave him more papers. He looked at them. "What's this?" he asked. Ms. Rin got a fan out and started waving it in front of herself.
"Your lines, music, and dance routines you'll need to know in time for the play in 5 weeks" she said. Randy looked up at her. "We get homework?!" he asked. Ms. Rin turned to him. "Hey, if you don't think you can handle the role, you shouldn't have auditioned!" she said. Randy looked at her in shock. "I didn't!" he pointed out.
Ms. Rin looked at him. She then lightly hit him with her fan. Randy rubbed his head. "Ow..." he said. Sharon Rin sorted his papers for him. "You'll need to know these lines by Thursday and these songs and moves..." she said. "We'll have another rehearsal same time tomorrow..." Randy began to protest when she raised her fan. He fell silent. "Fine..." he said. As he began walking away Ms. Rin turned around and stopped him.
"Oh wait! Randy?" she asked. He turned around. Ms. Rin began searching through some papers. "Do you play any other instruments?" she asked. Randy quickly thought about it. "I've been playing piano since I was 5..." he said. Ms. Rin smiled. "Great! Learn these songs too!" she said as she handed Randy a bucket load of sheet music. He sighed.
That night Randy was trying to learn the first dance. He took a step to the left and tripped. "Gah!" he yelled. Randy hit the floor with a thud. He blew some hair out of his face. Wonk... he thought.
~The Day of the Play~
Randy and the rest of the people who were in the show were excused from class early so they could get ready for the play. The guys got changed into their costumes in the boys locker room while the girls did it in theirs. When he was done changing, Randy looked in the mirror to see if he put the clothes on correctly. He wore a dark brown trench coat that had little ruffles at the sleeves and an odd looking bowtie that had multi colored polka dots. Really, he looked just like The Mad Hatter in the movie Alice in Wonderland (except he had his hair the same). All he was missing was...
Julian stepped from behind the corner. He wore a dark blue jacket, a blue vest, black pants, and a big red bowtie. He was holding something behind his back. "I finished the hat" he said with a smile. Julian handed Randy the hat. When Randy grabbed it, the first thing he noticed was that I seemed a little heavy for a hat. "Kind of heavy.." he said. He caught Julian staring. "For a hat, I mean..."
Julian laughed. "That's so that you can throw just like the Hatter does in the movie!" he said. Julian began pointing out the details. It had a faded pink ribbon, needles and feathers sticking in to it, and a card tucked under that ribbon. Julian had done an excellent job. Randy smiled. "Thanks man.." he said. Randy lifted the hat and placed it on his head. It fit just right. "Thanks Julian" he said.
Just then there was a knock on the door. "Boys, you better be ready!" it was Miss Rin. All they boys went outside and just then Randy realized something. "Hey Bash, why are you in the play?" he asked. Bash narrowed his eyes. "My Ma made me audition for the play" he said. "Ms. Rin said I was perfect for Tweedle Dum" he said. Bash then turned and punched Bucky. "What's that supposed to mean?!" he yelled.
They walked to the stage and saw that the curtain was sealing them off from the students outside. Randy walked up to it and peeked behind the curtain. That's a lot of people... he thought. Just then he heard a gasp from behind him. "Andy! Theresa told me aren't wearing your guy liner!" Randy turned around in confusion. He looked at Heidi. "What?" he asked. Just then Heidi grabbed his hand.
"Sandy if you're going to be in a play, you need to wear stage makeup!" she was practically dragging him now. Randy's eyes widened in terror. "No! Heidi let go of me!" he tried to wriggle free from her grasp but it was no use. What the juice?! he thought. Heidi then flung him into a chair. "Heidi! Please, no!" he pleaded. Randy was really freaking out. Heidi then grabbed some makeup. "Smile Mandy..."

Back with in Randy's backpack the Nomicon was waiting for Randy to come back. I wonder what *Randy-kun is doing? the book thought. It then parted some of its soul to where Randy was. The Nomicon was then inside of Randy, but with out him knowing. The Nomicon/Randy was sitting in a chair, trying to get out as a red headed girl was putting stuff on their face.
and it traveled back to its book. The Nomicon just thought about what he had seen. It fell to the floor laughing. Randy-kun was...*laugh*wearing...*laugh*makeup! he thought laughing. The Nomicon then realized something. It was laughing. Like a human... The Nomicon smiled. Randy-kun...
()()()()()
When Heidi moved away from Randy he bolted up and out of the chair. He looked in the mirror. What Heidi did actually wasn't that bad, but it was still makeup. And Randy was a guy who didn't want this stuff on his face. Heidi had made his skin look a little paler and added some shadow under his eyes to make it look as if he hadn't slept in day. Sadly she also added eyeliner. Randy sighed.
Heidi turned to him. "Hey, you can actually work the guy-liner!" she said. Randy looked up at her with a blank expression. "Sorry" she said. Randy sighed. Heidi turned to her makeup bag and grabbed something out. "Time for the finishing touch..." she said. She then turned to Randy holding lipstick. Randy paled. Yeah...no.
He ran away from Heidi as fast as he could. "NOOOO!" he yelled. Heidi stomped her foot. "But Andy you have to look insane!" she yelled. She sighed. Whatever...
~The Play Begins~
Theresa walked out on stage, dressed in her Cheshire Cat costume. She wore a dark purple suit thing (you know, the type of costume you wore for Halloween when you were like, 3) with blue stripes on it and a tail. Her hair was dark blue so they didn't have to worry about that because it went with the color scheme so, she only had to wear cat ears and fake whiskers. Randy was in the background playing Alice's Theme on the piano as Theresa began the intro.
"There is a land full of wonder, danger, and adventure." she began. "Ruled over by the Red Queen, or the Queen of Hearts, when the rightful ruler is the older sister, the White Queen. Alice is the only person who can save *Underland from Red Queen, but it wont be easy..." Theresa then grabbed something out of her pocket. As he kept playing, Randy smiled.
Just for the Cheshire Cat he had created smokebombs that were much like his own, except didn't smell and was grey. Once he had made them he asked the Nomicon why he didn't just use these instead. The Nomicon simply answered.
Tradition...
Theresa through the bomb to the floor and everyone gasped as she disappeared into the shadows.
~Later During the Play~
They just did the scene where Alice fell into Underland. *Heidi lay on the ground as Randy, The Mad Hatter began playing the piano.
*Trippin' out
Spinnin' around
I'm underground
I fell down
I fell do-ay-ay-own
I'm freakin' out
Where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop me now
I can't stop me no-oo-oo-ow
Ohhhhh-ohhhh
I-I-I-I I'll get by
I-I-I-I I'll survive
When the worlds crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I-I-I-I I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
When the worlds crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
When the worlds crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I-I-I-I I'll get by
I-I-I-I I'll survive
When the worlds crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I-I-I-I I won't cry
Heidi stopped singing and Randy stopped playing. The curtains closed and they went on to the next scene.
1st * : Yeah I suck at making things for the Nomicon to say...
2nd * : Kun is a something the Japanese add to the end of someone's name if they care for them a lot, they are their brother or sister, or close friend. Kun is used for boys and Chan is used for girls
3rd * : Yes I know the Nomicon is a book so it cannot blink but I'm doing that whole 'human Nomicon' thing so it'll play out, you see
4th * : The play is the of the movie they did in 2010. So Wonderland is really Underland but it will switch off depending on who's saying it
5th * : It will switch off between the characters and the actors
ex: Randy or Mad Hatter, Alice or Heidi, Bucky or Dormouse
6th * : Song is Alice, by Avril Lavigne and I posted the lyrics by going to a website and using the magic of copy and paste

Sorry for stopping it here, I just thought it was getting a little long. Also I wanted to take a shower and post something right away so...here you go!
