eight badges bloopers A/N: Heehee! These are in story order. With the exception of the "badgers" one, all the bloopers involving typos are based on actual errors I made while writing this story.

Chapter 1

Poem: The children who can save their worlds
Hold crests and badgers -
Ash: (interrupts) BADGERS?! I do not hold badgers!
Director: It was just a typo! Someone fix it, please...

Me (writing): "There's something strange going on . . ." said their other friend, Borck, quietly.
Brock: WHAT?
Pikachu: (subtitled) We are the Borck... resistance is futile...
Me: (laughing) Sorry.

Ash: Look at this, all my badges changed.
(opens jacket, but isn't wearing a shirt under it; blushes as Digi-girls giggle)
Director: CUT!

(Tai runs toward window, slams into it, and falls)
Tai: Uggghhh . . . pain . . .
Director: Cut! Why is there glass in the window?!
James: (laughs)
Ash: Team Rocket! You're not supposed to be here yet! (chases James off the set)

Ash: Okay. By the way, what are you?
Unown: I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
Director: CUT!!! That's not even from an anime! Come on, do it right!
Unown: OH ALL RIGHT

Chapter 2

Gabumon: Not all of them. Blue Blaster! (attack comes out orange) Um, Blue Blaster! (maroon) I said Blue Blaster! (lime green) What's wrong with me?
Director: Nothing. FRED! GET IT RIGHT!
Fred the special-effects guy: Er, sorry, just experimenting . . . there, now it's blue.
Director: Okay, let's take it again . . . argh . . .

Chapter 3

Matt: I'll do it! (holds up Digivice)
"Gomamon Digivolve to . . . Garurumon!"
Matt and Joe: WHAT THE HECK!?
Garurumon: (who now has Gomamon's voice) This is seriously messed up.
Director: Cut...

Chapter 4

Tai: Then we got a massage from - oops...
Everyone: (laughs)
Directory: CUT! Tai, you meant message, right?
Tai: (still laughing) Yeah . . . typo in the script . . .
Director: Well, now you have to do your big speech ALL over again, thanks to our wonderful writer . . .
Everyone: -_-;

Chapter 5

Sora: Hey, is that Junction Peak?
(points to the mountain, which is surrounded by a bright pink aura)
Mimi: Kawaii!
Director: Cut! Fred, the script says a visible dark aura!
Fred: I know, just having some fun...

Chapter 6

Sora: Sing it. I'd love to hear it.
Misty: Okay. (pauses)
(sings) Yoru no sora ni matataku tooi kin no hoshi -
Director: Cut! Where did THAT come from?
Misty: I have no idea...

Chapter 7

Tai: That was great, Borck - oops.
Brock: MY NAME IS NOT BORCK!
Pikachu: (subtitled) May the Borck be with you!
Me: When did Pikachu become a sci-fi fan?

Tai: This won't be too hard. I'll press the lights. You can all watch and help me remember.
(presses lights, but messes up on the tenth pattern; the game buzzes and the lights go dark)
Director: Cut! Tai, that's the third time! When will you learn?
Tai: I have . . . let's try it again . . .
Director: Okay, places. Take four . . . action.
Tai: This won't be too hard. I'll press the lights. You can all watch and help me remember.
(presses lights, messes up again)
Tai: It was not my fault that time! I remembered!
Director: Cut. Fred?
Fred: (sighs) Yes, it was me, I changed the pattern . . . sorry, I'll fix it now . . .
Director: Okay, places . . .

Chapter 8

Ash: Bulbasaur, Razor Lear!
Togemon: Razor Lear?
Ash: Oops. Leaf. You know what I mean.
Director: (laughing) Cut.

Tai: Our crests!
Ash: And badgers! Oh, shoot, I did NOT just say that . . .
Misty: (laughing) Yeah, you did.
Director: Cut... oh, geez...

Chapter 9

(This is when they're about to go back across the bridge.)
Ash: Okay.
(The Unown start spelling out a list of the names of everyone who is in the scene.)
Mimi: Is it time for the credits already?
Director: No. Unown, what are you doing?
Unown: WE ARE LISTING ALL THE TRAINERS DIGIDESTINED AND DIGIMON STOP
Director: You again, Fred?
Fred: I don't control them!
Director: Must be another script typo. BARBARA!!!
Me: Yes?
Director: Do you know why the Unown are listing people?
Me: (laughing) Yes, it's my fault, I meant lift, not list . . . sorry.
Director: Okay. Unown, stop it. Places for the next take...
