You see a colorless, black screen.



The black gradually fades out, to be replaced by a brightly lit studio. In front of the camera is a black Lay-Z-Boy and matching couch.



You also see a blonde teenager, who, instead of sitting on her Lay-Z-Boy as she usually does, is knelt in front of the camera, nose pressed against the ground.



You see another teen, with copper colored skin and long, shiny black hair, walk onto the screen.



Akemi: o0; Uh… Fireruby… why are you… praying to the camera?



Fireruby managed to mumble out a response through the carpet.



Fireruby: I'm… not… praying to… the camera…



Akemi: o0; Then, what ARE you doing?



Fireruby lifted her head up a bit.



Fireruby: I'm trying to apologize…



Akemi: To who?



Fireruby: To the one fan who's EVER given me any suggestions about characters to put on the show and questions to ask them…



Akemi: o.o Why are you apologizing to them?



Fireruby: -sighs- Because… the characters they suggested were GUNDUM characters…



Akemi: oo; ….



Fireruby: I've NEVER seen even ONE episode of Gundum Wing! -Cries- I finally get a nice fan who wants to give me advice on the show and… I-I can't use the suggestion she gave me!



Akemi: -pats Fireruby on the back- There, there… it's okay… I'm sure she understands…



Fireruby: -sniffs- Yeah… you're right.



Akemi: By the way, Fire… um, I'm a little curious as to why your show's been so delayed lately.



Fireruby: ^^ Oh, that… well, I was a little busy with some lawsuits to do the show…



Akemi: 00; Lawsuits?



Fireruby: ^^; Yeah… funny thing… some of the fans from the last show were trying to sue NYATS… they were a little upset that I had let Hiko beat up that fan girl so bad…



Akemi: Wow… so, who won the lawsuit, then?



Fireruby: ^^ I did. The fan girl VOLUNTEERED to be beat up by Hiko.



Akemi: o.o Oh… that's good, then…



Fireruby grins, stands up, and sits down on her infamous Lay-Z-Boy. Akemi walks back offstage.



Fireruby: Well… hey, everybody, and welcome to another edition of NYATS Live. Before I start the show, I'd like to introduce a new, very important, member of the stage crew. You've met her before… it's my friend Akemi, and she's volunteering to be our Audio Mixer. -coughs- And to all you viewers out there unfamiliar with the term, it means she's in complete control of every sound you hear… my voice, guest's voices, any music she wants to play… We make a good team, that we do… pictures and sound…



Akemi: -from off camera- Thank-you!



Fireruby: Anyway, people… I should probably clear this up… I got some e-mails wondering "what was Akemi's problem" when Rikku was here… um… well, Akemi really doesn't play any of the Final Fantasy games, so I guess it was kinda stupid of me to ask her to sub for me then… but, even though she's a little out of her league with FFX characters, Akemi is just as anime obsessed as me when it comes to everything else… and, she's cool, so please be nice!



The audience applauds for their new audio mixer.



Fireruby: ^^ Cool. Okay, so let's get back to the show… um… today's a little special… we're having a mystery guest appearance… aren't you excited?!



Mystery music starts to play in the background.



Fireruby: And our mystery guest is…….. Raven, from Teen Titans.



The audience claps enthusiastically as the music fades and Raven walked onto the stage. She sits herself down on the black leather couch.



Fireruby: ^^ Hi, Raven. Welcome to the show. I've never had a titan on the air before. I thought this might be fun.



Raven: -.- Thanks.



Fireruby: So, Raven… do you have anything to say before I read you the questions?



Raven: -.- Uh, no. Not really.



Fireruby: ^^; Okay. So, uh… let's see… -shuffles through her stack of papers, eventually pulling out a bright yellow letter- okay, so here's one from Arinitha14… she says… "Raven, I watch your show a lot, and I can't help but notice you never seem happy… and you're really cold towards everyone else. Why?"



Raven: -.-* Why? Do you really think I have a choice in the matter? My emotions are dangerous… I cannot let them loose, or I could be endangering the planet.



Fireruby: Yes… but, can't you at least smile or something?



Raven: Smile?



Fireruby: Uh, yeah, like… a grin… without the teeth showing…



Raven: -.- I know what a smile is.



Fireruby: So, back to my original question then… why not smile?



Raven: Well, uh…



Fireruby: XD Would you smile for Beast Boy?



Raven turns a violent shade of red and pulls up the hood of her cloak to hide it.



Raven: Why would I smile for him?



Fireruby: Aww… did everyone in the audience see that? "Stony" Miss Raven was blushing.



Audience: Aww… she loves him…



Raven: ~.~* I do not…



Fireruby: ^.^ Aww… now she's trying to hide it…



Akemi: -from offstage- Next question, Fire. We're running out of time.



Fireruby: -sighs- Alright… next question… -she shuffles through her papers and pulls out a small violet note- This one's from… Akemi? 0.0



Akemi: -from offstage- Yea, yea, keep reading.



Fireruby: ^^; 'Kay. So, Akemi Yemetari writes, "Hey, Raven. You like Beast Boy, don't ya?". Oh my gosh, I love you Akemi. So, Raven… you gotta answer the question truthfully…



Raven: 0.0 I do?



Fireruby: ^^ Yes. It's part of the contract you signed before you came on the show. My own idea… isn't it a great one?



Raven: -.- It's terrific.



Fireruby: Thanks!



Raven: That was sarcasm, actually…



Fireruby: Yeah, I know. Now, answer the question…



A few dozen of the "NYATS Live" light bulbs suddenly explode.



Raven: I… can't.



Fireruby looks at the light bulbs and chuckles.



Fireruby: You can't say, huh?



Raven nods, looking a little relieved.



Fireruby: ^^ Okay! Did y'all hear that? She said yes!



Audience: Awww!!!



Raven: 0.0 I did not!!!



Akemi: -from offstage- Kawaii! Raven and BB FOREVER!



Raven: But I didn't say…



Fireruby: Akemi's right! You two are so cute!





Akemi: -from offstage- Almost as cute as Kenshin and Kaoru!



Fireruby: -shrieks- ^^ What a great idea!!! We should have THEM on here tomorrow!



Akemi: -shrieks as well, from offstage- You're a genius!



Fireruby: -looks back over at the camera- So… that's all for now, folks. Tune in next time, when we'll have Kenshin and Kaoru (the cutest couple in the history of anime) with us. -Looks at Akemi- Hey, Akemi, maybe we could get THEM to confess their love for each other too!!! -Turns back to the camera- Oh, yeah… uh, till next time!



The screen fades to black as Akemi jumps back onstage and starts dancing around with Fireruby.
