Sora and the Perils of Randomness
By Goggle
-------------------------
And now it's time for something that no random fic should go without: a movie ripoff…I mean tribute. However, this isn't really all that random, since it's a ripoff/tribute/homage to a scene with fish in it. No, not Finding Nemo, the blockbuster of the summer of 2003! This is a ripoff/tribute/homage/line-for-line copy of the dialogue (except for names, which have been changed) of the Wheel Of Fish scene of the movie UHF. So the laughs you get in the movie ripoff part of this chapter (I'll indicate when) are unfortunately not originally thought of by me, but are from the script written by Al Yankovic and Jay Levey. Wow, what a disclaimer. I bet when you do a movie parody for your fic, you don't give any credit to the writers or directors or producers or actors. Yup, that's what I thought. Any bashing of a character is unintentional, except for Kairi, because bashing Kairi can make me more popular and get me reviews.

Chapter 7: Wheel Of Fish
Sora had been wandering around the sandy white beaches of Destiny Island when Tidus walked by him. He looked at Sora and said, "Hey, this is my only line."
Sora turned to him and said, "Go to the Final Fantasy 10 section, where somebody might actually care." He smacked Tidus in the forehead, which caused him to fall down, and then threw little bits of wet sand at him.
Hours passed and Sora was still walking along the beach. He had just been walking around in a circle with a diameter of approximately 6.5 feet, so he hadn't really gotten anywhere. All of a sudden, he noticed that the fish which had ended up on the beach from a few days prior were still laying there, getting ripe. Sora inhaled deeply, allowing the pungent stink of the rotten fish to fill his lungs.
At the moment Sora took that really deep breath, Riku fell out of a nearby tree. Sora glared at him and asked, "What are you doing there?"
Riku responded, "I was staring at my reflection in the water and I fell out." He took a moment to look at the fish that was crowding the beach. "Hey…would you look at that! That's a whole lot of fish! Do you know what we could do with that much sweet precious fish?" added Riku, with a gleam in his eyes.
Sora answered, "Um…eat them? Riku, I really don't care what you do with these fish. As long as its legal and doesn't push the boundaries of good taste, I'm all for it. It's your life."
Riku shouted, "Okay! Just wait a minute and I'll be ready. Sora…this will be awesome, trust me!" Time passed until…
-----Movie Ripoff/Tribute/Homage/Parody Start-----
Sora was in the audience of what appeared to be a…game show? On the stage, three contestants were lined up behind podiums. A voice eerily like Riku's said over the speakers, "Today, one of these lucky contestants will win his or her weight in fish right here on…"
"Wheel of Fish!" shouted the audience.
Riku, dressed in a karate uniform, jumped on a platform on the stage and yelled, "Okay, let's play the game. We'll start with yesterday's winner, Kairi. Are you ready, Kairi?"
Kairi, who was the last of the three contestants, said, "I sure am, Riku!"
Riku motioned for Kairi to move over to the wheel, which had many varieties of edible fish attached to it. He said, "Okay, you get over there and spin the wheel of fish. Go ahead. Give it a big spin!"
Kairi did just that; she gave the wheel a big spin. As the wheel turned, she said, "Come on, bluefish! Come to mama! Come on!" It was pretty obvious she was hoping for the bluefish. The wheel finally landed on a red snapper.
Riku said, "A red snapper. Very tasty. Okay, Kairi, listen carefully. You can hold onto your red snapper, or you can go for what's in the box that Sora-san is bringing down the aisle right now!" With that, Sora found himself also dressed in a karate uniform, bringing a tray with a box on top of it down. Riku added, "What's it gonna be?"
Kairi was having a bit of trouble deciding what to choose. The red snapper was….very tasty, as Riku had said. But the box was so…mysterious. The audience kept offering help on both sides. She finally came to a decision and yelled, "I'll take the box! The box!"
Riku shouted, "You took the box! Let's see what's in the box!" Sora lifted the box. It was…empty. Riku paused for a moment, then screamed, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Stupid! You're so stupid!"
-----Movie Ripoff/Tribute/Homage/Parody End-----
Sora blinked as everything returned to normal. At least, as normal as it could be under the week-long randomness that had been cast upon Sora's life. He returned to walk around in circles until sunset, and then went home for tea and bagels.

DUN DUN DUN! What happens next? Will I give it up with the fish already? Will Kairi get revenge? Will she get bashed? What about Tidus? Was that really his only line? Will I write more? Then find out, in the next chapter of SORA AND THE PERILS OF RANDOMNESS!

Please read and review, send ideas, flame, talk about how hot Sora/Kairi/Riku/Britney Spears/Stacy/Goggle is, whatever. I don't want to have to use the "I want 20 reviews or no new chapters! Arrrrgh!" threat, but if I don't get reviews, I may need to use that. Please review.
Still seven kids. The ninjas got rid of their butter knives and still have rubber gloves and toothpicks. The kids are a little calmer now but I think one of them is coming down with something. Keep reviewing!
