As Seen On TV By HamClover
::::::::::::::::::Author's Note::::::::::::::::
Tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation! NOOOO! Yeah, well, my school is starting late this year, usually I'd be suffering through my second or third week by now. And I am not looking forward to waking up at six in the morning and then going to a school, high school. Ugh, I hate the fact that back in Mid High I was the head honcho eighth grader, and now I am a puny freshman. Oh well, my brother is a senior. Okay, back to the story, thank you all for your great reviews! They are what keep my hands a' typing! "I WANT MY GREY POUPON, DAMMIT!" Yay, GenieMaster, you sure can quote Sparkle (Or...me) on that one! Ha, ha! It's so profound. Oh and thankies Kioko for your review saying this is my best fic yet! (I'm beginning to think the same thing also) I could tell you were laughing on AIM a lot! Wee! Let's take advantage of these last days of freedom! Yahoo!
Oh yeah, there's quite a lot of language in this chapter. (Meaning the "F" word is said) Its rated PG-13 for a reason. It's the only time this word is used, if I used this word any more, I would have to make this fic R-rated.
Chapter Four .:Plan B Never Works:.
Sparkle spun her computer chair around and stared at Blair and Nero. She sighed and fixed her pigtails, trying not to act like it was a big deal. She slowly frowned.
"I only have seven frickin' days," She muttered.
Blair and Nero looked at each other.
Sparkle covered her face with her paws.
"Seven days!! Seven days!! I sound like that weird girl from The Ring!" She cried.
Nero walked over to Sparkle.
"Um, Sparkle, you can still go out of the studio and look? It's not like you're trapped here." He suggested.
"I know that!" Sparkle snapped suddenly.
Blair slipped down from the table she was sitting on and opened the door.
"I need to go, it's my break time," She stated as she slipped through the door.
Nero sat on the table and stared at the ground. Sparkle could tell he was deep in thought.
Suddenly, he looked up at Sparkle and his face lit up.
"I know what you can do!!" He exclaimed.
Sparkle turned around from surfing on the net and looked at him. "And what is that?" She asked, un-enthusiastically.
Nero ignored Sparkle's boredom and jumped down from the table, with a new spark of hope to help his "friend". (Well, actually, Sparkle was more like the reason he was paid to be an intern in the first place, and Sparkle finds him to be very annoying, so maybe "friend" isn't the best term for this. Let's make it "acquaintance")
"You could be on TV!" He shouted.
Sparkle, for a moment, looked like a school principal yelling at a kid for the zillionth time. She managed to calm down her expression, but soon exploded in a barrage of words!
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM DOING HERE IN THE FIRST, PLACE NERO!? DO YOU THINK I'M ON THE SET OF A TV SHOW TO PLAY CHECKERS WITH A SPIDER!? THINK ABOUT IT, SMARTY!"
Nero just stood there.
Sparkle glared at him and turned around back to computer, muttering "Shit-head," to herself a few times.
Nero still stood there.
A few seconds later, Sparkle noticed the bumbling intern was still present. She wheeled her chair around and scrunched her nose up as much as she could.
"What the fuck do you want!?" She asked, looking like her head was about to explode.
Nero soon snapped out of his little daydream and scratched the back of his head, blushing from his stupidity.
"I have a plan B," He stuttered.
Sparkle sighed, she felt like all her anger was out now. "Nero, plan B never works. You know, in the movies and TV and stuff. Never"
"But maybe this one will work."
"Fine, tell me."
Nero bent over and whispered his plan into her ear.
Later that day, Nero seemed quite happy with himself. He was walking with his head high and didn't seem to act very timid like he usually does. Blair, who was drinking some water by the snack table, noticed his change of mood and called him over.
"Um, Nero, what's up with this new attitude? It looks like you just won the Superbowl and are going to Disney World." She asked, clutching a foam cup full of water.
Nero smiled and shook his head.
"Nope, I'm not going to Disney World!" He answered with his chest puffed out.
Blair returned to the snack table. Nero noticed her uninterest in him now, but still continued. He settled down a bit.
"I'm just, happy, that Sparkle actually called me by my name, that's all." He said, smiling broadly.
Blair, now giving Nero her full attention, turned around and faced him, she had a warm smile on her face.
"Oh, that's great." She said. "It's rare for her to call all her interns by their names."
"I know. Of all the interns around here, me..."
Blair chuckled and turned back to the table.
"I heard her screaming at you. She looked pretty pissed,"
"Blair,"
"Really. Was that when she called you by your name?"
"Yeah..."
"Exactly my point,"
"What?"
Blair turned around again, now holding her trademark clipboard.
"It's like a mother yelling at her children. She really only uses their middle names when she's mad at them. For you, Sparkle used your real name when she was mad at you, instead of calling you and intern."
Nero stared at Blair and sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," He said. He waved to Blair, and grabbing a quick pawful of sunflower seeds, continued on his way.
'Oh, I forgot to tell Blair about my plan B,' He thought to himself. He shrugged and stuffed a mouthful of sunflower seeds in his mouth.
