Talent is Easier Said Than Done

Mr. Epson tapped on the edge of the stage in the school's amphitheater, trying to settle down the rowdy class. He then tried to clear his throat several times to no avail. Finally he resorted to yelling. "Quiet Class!" The room quickly fell silent as the class turned in shock to the small bald man standing before them. They look at him as if he's just miraculously developed a second head out of his side. "That's better." He said in his natural cheery voice. "Now, as you all now the arts department is in dire need of funding. The teachers and I have all come to a consensus that my class, along with three other's shall put on a talent show!"

The room suddenly sounded much like a hospital full of moaning sick people. "Now now!" The teacher chided. "It will be fun! All of you must come up with a unique talent to perform. It can be singing, dancing. Anything you want. But remember class keep it clean."

"This is stupid." A think Brooklyn accent filled the silence. "Who want's to be in some stupid talent show?"

"Well Mr. Wheeler. You do. After all it will be considered part of your final exam. Making it worth 30 percent of your mark." Comment the teacher in a nonchalant fashion.

"Whaaa! No way!" Joey stood up from his theater seat. "That's so not fair."

"It's very fair." The teacher replied. "Anyone who doesn't participate will automatically fail the class so be ready with your talents by the end of next week. Then we start rehearsing." The teacher bounced up and down like a child receiving his first bicycle.

Joey fell back into his seat with a surrendered look on his face. "This is terrible." He muttered."

"It's not so bad Joey." Yugi patted his friends shoulder. "I'm sure you've got some great talent to show everybody."

"Ya. If you count eating at the speed of light as a talent." Tristan added in.

"Watch it or I'll know the last of your brain cells onto the floor." Joey growled at his best friend.

"You two knock it off!" Bakura leaned over the back of the seats.

"Stay out of this!" They replied in unison.

"Point taken." Bakura smiled and sat back.

"Don't worry about it Joey." Tea said from beside Bakura. "Kiaba seems just as upset about this as you are."

They all turned to see Seto Kiaba up at the front near the point of yelling at the drama teacher.

End of Chapter One

Just wait till they start performing. That is when I will wreak havoc upon these innocent characters.
