Chapter 3: Lovely, lovely NGs!(A/N by LENG: Expect to see Aida in place of some others. After all, he is the Sub! If you don't know who Li is, he's in here! This is before LENG hired Angelo.)

Kiyota, Rukawa, Mitsui and Ryota come out in reindeer costumes.
Akagi: All the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names…
Rukawa: Do'aho.
Sakuragi: TEME KITSUNE!
LENG and V.C. watch Sakuragi chasing Rukawa off the stage and around the studio.
LENG: Shouldn't you tell them not to take these remarks so seriously?
V.C: After you.

Akagi: Then they would turn and run
Before he made them crème…
CRACK!
Ryota staggers out onstage again. Both horns are broken and hanging on the edge of plastic stumps. Ryota clutches his forehead, rolls on the floor and writhes in agony.
Ryota: I'm DYING!
Ryota passes out on the floor, with the Sun and the seven planets swirling around him. Li drags him away unceremoniously, all the while grinning ecstatically at having caught such a 'magical moment' on tape.
V.C: I thought I suggested shock-resistant wooden antlers?
LENG: …Budget problem…
V.C.: Never mind. The show MUST go on, even when one's head has been crushed.

Aida: Sakuragi…err, with your… your err…h-hair so…so err…so…
LENG: CUT! SAKURAGI!
Sakuragi: What?
LENG: Quit glaring at Aida like that! How's he supposed to say Anzai Sensei's lines if you're freaking him out?
Sakuragi: Because he's not Anzai Sensei.
V.C: So you won't glare if it's Anzai Sensei who says the lines?
Sakuragi: …Yes.
V.C: LI! GET ANZAI SENSEI! I DON'T CARE IF HE'S GOT ANOTHER HEART ATTACK OR INFLUENZA OR WHAT NOT! THE SHOW MUST GO ON, AND IT WILL GO ON!
Li: But it's just a rehearsal! I don't want Cam-sama to miss any magic moments!
V.C: GET GOING NOW, OR YOU WILL MISS YOUR STUPID CAMCORDER AS IT FLIES OUT THE WINDOW!
Li yelps in terror and runs off to find Anzai Sensei.

LENG: OK! Snow Scene!
A cascade of ice water sprinkles down on everyone in the studio.
V.C: LI NO KOJU!
Li: The machine needs reformatting! Everything's under control!
A large hailstone is spat out of the snow machine, and narrowly misses hitting V.C.
1½ seconds later, V.C. is shoving Li down the engines.
Li: So it was an honest mistake! I'm sorry, okay!
V.C: No, there was no mistake! You just need a closer look!
