It all starts with a pitch-black screen…
As usual…
The black fades itself out, only to be replaced by a 'brightly lit studio'. Don't you just love that phrase? I think I've used it to describe the studio in EVERY episode…
Fireruby: -.- Honestly… No one cares, Rocky. Just finish the intro…
Whatever. In front of the camera is black Lay-Z-Boy and a small, comfy-looking, matching couch. Sitting in the Lay-Z-Boy is a tanned girl with long blonde hair and creepy blue eyes…
Fireruby: 0.0; Rocky! I thought you said you'd stop that!
I just couldn't resist.
Fireruby: -.-; Right… -turns back to face the camera- Hey people… Welcome to another edition of NYATS Live! Today our special guest appearance will be made by…
Akemi: ^^ Kamatari, right? It's gotta be Kamatari!
Fireruby: ^^; Heh… well…
In the middle of the studio audience, a freckle-faced brunette stands up and starts shouting.
Fireruby: o0; Why is she back…? Didn't I ban her from the studio after the Kurama mess…?!
Melanie: -still shouting from the middle of the audience- It's Soujiro! Isn't it?! Please let it be Soujiro!
Fireruby: -shakes her head and looks apologetically at Akemi and Melanie- Sorry, guys… I didn't get nearly enough responses to do either of them…
Akemi, Melanie & Studio audience: WHAT?!
Fireruby: o.o Please don't get mad… it's just that, only ONE of my friends had a suggestion for that episode, and it wasn't a very good one. So… due to lack of peer support and reviews… I'm gonna have to postpone that Soujiro/Kamatari edition of the show…
Akemi, Melanie & Studio audience: -groan- Aww…
Akemi: Does that mean you're canceling today's episode?
Fireruby: Well, no. I managed to put together a substitution show for today's original episode….. I based it on some inspirations I got from an e-mail sent by Belle Beauty. ^^ That girl is such a great reviewer… You know, this is the second time I've been able to use one of her suggestions on the show? Is that not awesome? … I love fan response! And author response to fan response…
Akemi: ^^; Heh… right, Fire. So, who's today's guest?
Fireruby: ^^ Oh, yeah! Today's gonna be awesome! We just won't be breaking our record guest number, by inviting more then 2 guests… Because not only are we inviting 3 people onto the show… WE'LL BE HAVING 6!!!
Akemi, Melanie & Studio audience: 0_0 …There's 6?
Fireruby: You bet! Please give a warm welcome to the cast of Tenchi Muyo. Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, Washu, Sasami, and Mihoshi.
The audience is too shocked to smile, let alone applaud. They continue to stare at Fireruby.
Akemi, Melanie & Studio audience: 0.0 …THERE'S 6?!
Fireruby: -sighs- Okay, forget the applause. Akemi?
Akemi: -snaps out of her shock trance- What?
Fireruby: Cue the artificial applause.
Akemi: 'Kay… -pushes a few buttons at her audio mixer-
The room is filled with the sound of recorded clapping and cheering as Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko and Mihoshi all walk onto the stage. For some reason, Washu and Sasami are both unconscious. Mihoshi is carrying Washu, and Sasami is being carried by Tenchi. Ryoko and Ayeka keep shooting glares at each other.
Fireruby: 00; What happened? Why are two of the guests asleep?!
Tenchi: ^^; Well… Miss Ayeka and Miss Ryoko got into a fight backstage and…
Ayeka: -glares at Ryoko- And that-… that CONVICT there knocked out my sister with her energy sword!
Ryoko: -crosses her arms and glares at Ayeka- THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT! And… you're one to talk! Little Miss Perfect over there was the one who hit Washu with her energy beam!
Ayeka: ~.~ Only because I missed you.
Fireruby: -.-; So, basically, you both got into a cat fight and incapacitated two of my guest speakers.
Ayeka & Ryoko: -glare at each other- Basically.
Fireruby: -.-; Erm… well, fine. I suppose I can make due with the four of you…
Akemi: -from offstage- 'Course we can. And we can lay Washu and Sasami down on the cushions back here, till they wake up. Help me out, Fire.
Fireruby: Alright.
Akemi walks onstage, and Fireruby stands up from her Lay-Z-Boy. Fireruby takes Sasami from Tenchi, Akemi takes Washu from Mihoshi, and they both walk offstage.
A few moments later, Fireruby walks back onstage and sits back down in her Lay-Z-Boy. She motions for her guests to do the same.
Fireruby: ^^ Okay… Please have a seat, and we can get started…
Tenchi: -glances at the small couch- There's only room for two, Miss Fireruby.
Fireruby: ^^; Oh, sorry. I guess two of you will have to sit on the floor. Sorry…
Ryoko: -grabs Tenchi's arm- Tenchi, why don't you and I sit on the couch together?
Ayeka: o.o What? No! -Grabs onto Tenchi's other arm- Please, Lord Tenchi. Don't sit next to this dangerous criminal. I'll sit on the couch with you.
Tenchi: -looks torn- Well, I, um…
Mihoshi: -sits down on the couch- ^^ There. Now neither of you can sit on the couch.
Fireruby: X) Nice resolution, Mihoshi-san.
Mihoshi: ^^ Arigatou.
Tenchi: -meekly raises his hand- I'll sit on the floor…
Ryoko: -grins and sits down in front of the couch, pulling Tenchi down with her- Okay, we'll sit on the floor then.
Ayeka: Get your filthy hands off Lord Tenchi! -She drops down to the floor next to Tenchi and tries to pull him away from Ryoko-
Mihoshi: -stares for a moment, then cracks up-
Fireruby: -blows a whistle, making everyone freeze- Calm down, people! We still have a show to do, you know…
Ryoko & Ayeka: -take their hands of Tenchi- Fine, fine…
Tenchi: ^^ Thank-you, Miss Fireruby.
Fireruby: You're welcome, Tenchi. Now… it's about time I started with the questions.
Melanie and the studio audience finally snap out of their shocked trance. Melanie sits back down in her seat, and she and the rest of the audience clap and nod at Fireruby's suggestion.
Fireruby: ^^ Glad to know I have my audience back. Okay, so, I'd like to ask the first question… It's for Mihoshi.
Mihoshi: ^^ Okay.
Fireruby: Well, actually, it's more of a suggestion then a question. You're a cop… Ryoko's an escaped convict… And you can't arrest her because your ship is crashed, right?
Mihoshi: That's right.
Fireruby: But… Ryoko has a ship, doesn't she?
Mihoshi: Well, I- uh… I guess so.
Fireruby: -.- So, my question is; why don't you just confiscate Ryoko's "vehicle" and take her back to the authorities in IT.
Ryoko: -crosses her arms- Ryo-Ohki wouldn't transform for her…
Fireruby: Still, she could trick you into making Ryo-Ohki transform for her…
Ryoko: -chuckles- Mihoshi? Trick me? Are you kidding?
Fireruby: ^^ Hmm… I guess that does sound a little far-fetched…
Mihoshi: -crosses her arms- What's that supposed to mean?
Fireruby: Never mind… next question. -she shuffles through her stack of papers, and after a few moments, pulls out a beautifully colored, violet sheet of paper. It's identical to the one from the previous episode of NYATS- ^^ Okay, here's a question from Belle Beauty…
Akemi: -from offstage- You get a lot of response from her, don't you?
Fireruby: ^^ Yes. I wish all my reviewers had as much advice as her… If they did, we could probably host a dozen episodes of NYATS a day.
Akemi: -from offstage- No kidding?
Fireruby: Nope. Anywho, Belle Beauty's question is for you, Tenchi.
Tenchi: ^^ Really? What is it?
Fireruby: -scans the letter- She'd like to know which one of the girls you like best?
Tenchi: ^^; Heh… I don't know what you're talking about…
Fireruby: -sets the letter down- The girls that are living with you… Out of the-- Are there 6 of them?
Akemi: -from offstage- Yep. I think so… Two cops, two princesses, a genius, and an escaped convict… It's a real sop…
Fireruby: Yep. Okay, out of the 6 of them, which one do you love?
Tenchi: -face turns read and sweatdrops- 'Which one do I love?'
Fireruby: Yes. That's the question. Now, what's your answer? -leans forward in her chair, anxious for the answer-
Ryoko: -grabs Tenchi's arm again- Go on, Tenchi. Tell them all how much you love me!
Ayeka: -outraged- A noble man like Lord Tenchi would never love a slime ball like you! And, get your hands off him!!
Ryoko: -jumps up from the floor- How dare you? Come on, princess! -she forms her energy sword and drops into a fighting stance-
Ayeka: -jumps up too and starts forming a ball of energy between the palms of your hands- I accept your challenge, Convict. I'll show you… for clinging to Lord Tenchi like that.
Fireruby: -completely ignoring the battle- So, go on, Tenchi. Which one do you like the best?
Tenchi: -tears his eyes away from the ensuing battle and looks back at Fireruby, stuttering- Well, I- um…. I don't thi-…
Akemi: -from offstage- ^^; Heh… Fire, we're almost out of time. You gotta hurry up and end the show…
Fireruby: -.- This stinks… Oh, well… I'll be sure to tell you all what Tenchi's answer was next time, when we'll probably have Inuyasha on the show. Or maybe we'll have the Soujiro/Kamatari edition… if I can ever get enough response for it… Well, anyway, I'll see ya then!
The screen fades to black as Fireruby resumes prodding Tenchi for his answer and Ryoko & Ayeka charge at one another.
(A/N- Please reveiw, guys. Please, please, please, please, please. And PLEASE feel free to give me any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong, or what I should ask my next guest, or who I should have next on the show... Actually, know what? Just about anything you post in the reveiw will be welcomed.)
