AUTHOR'S NOTE: A message to Cave Cat. Please stop asking! Nope, I am not adding your Digimon into your story. And also, please stop annoying Kanius about adding your characters into his story. I am sorry to sound mean but, your starting to get really annoying about this. Maybe you should rename yourself into Annoying Cat. No offense or anything...
/Smiling sweetly/ And now, onto the show!

The first day of rehersals has now started. Everyone has come and Inumon was the last to arrive. Of course, Knuckles wasn't happy of what Inumon wore.
"Inumon, take that off!" Knuckles ordered.
Inumon was wearing a metallic knight's armour minus the sword and shield. He shook his head. "No way, Knuckles! There is no way I am taking this off as long as the most dangerous people are about!"
Knuckles blinked. "And they are...?"
"Huskymon and BelleHuskymon!" Inumon replied. "Huskymon still hasn't forgiven me for stealing her pizza and it took me a couple of hours to regain my breathing after she gave me the big squeeze last time!"
"Your just being paranoid! Fine, if you won't take that armour suit off, we'll have to do it the hard way!" Knuckles said before he turned around. "Hey, Vector! Let me hear that saying!"
"You mean this?" Vector asked before he started to cough. "LLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Out of no where, a huge hammer crashed into the side of Inumon's armour, making a huge clanging noise and a ver shaked up mutt. "Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-A-A-A-A-A-A-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Knuckles smirked. "Yep, that's the one..."
Quickly, Inumon took the knight suit off and stood in the middle of the room with his body shaking. "W-W-W-W-H-H-H-H-Y-Y-Y-Y M-M-M-M-M-E-E-E-E-E?!?!?!?!?"
Later, once Inumon finally stopped shaking, the rehearsals were underway. First up was the entrances for the three ghosts that tries to convince Scrooge about his ways.
"All right, you three! Listen up!" Knuckles ordered, looking towards at Velene, Huskymon and Tristan. "You three know your lines, correct?"
Tristan nodded. "That's right, we do..."
"And we have the perfect costumes to play as our characters." Huskymon said.
Velene nodded. "Well... all Tristan has to wear is a black cloak and walk as the legendary wrestler, the Undertaker."
Sweatdropping, Tristan rubbed his head while Velene and Huskymon giggled. "Why do I get the feeling that me, Joey and Inumon are the only ones that are not enjoying our parts of this play?"
Shrugging, Knuckles looked at Huskymon. "Right... You'll be sitting in a room, filled with food and drinks..."
"YEAH!!!" Huskymon cheered.
"Except... the food will be plastic while the drinks are just coloured water..." Knuckles added. "Do you really think we trust ya with REAL food?"
Blushing, Huskymon scratched the back of her head. "G..Good point..."
"Tristan... the lights will go down and you'll be standing near Scrooge with your cloak over you head." Knuckles said before he added. "While we play the Undertaker's theme song."
"Ah, zip it!" Tristan said, pouting.
Giggling, Velene turned to Knuckles. "What about my entrance?"
"Well... that will be a doozy..." Knuckles muttered. "You just watch! Davis! Lower him away!"
"OK!" Called Davis from behind a curtain and slowly, a figure was lowered from a rope from the celing. "How is it going?"
Knuckles called back. "Great, Davis! How are ya, Mighty?"
"Fine, fine... Bit woozy..." Mighty muttered.
Slowly, a fearful look came upon Velene's face. "My entrance is gonna be lowered from THAT thing?! Are you crazy?!"
"What's wrong, Velene? Scared of heights?" Tristan teased.
"Yes and no! I am scared but, not of heights! Mighty is being held in the air by Davis!" Velene said. "No offense to Davis but, it's too risky!"
Knuckles scoffed. "Oh, come on, Velene! It's not dangerous! I know Davis is holding Mighty by the rope but, he won't let go. Nothing will make him let go..."
Suddenly, a familiar female voice was heard. "Hello? Davis? Anyone here?"
"KARI!!!" Davis yelled, coming out the curtain and running away.
Knuckles sighed. "Except for Kari..."
Mighty had to sweatdrop at that and a good reason only. "Erm... Question, wasn't Davis holding me up by the rope...?"
The answer soon came as Mighty found himself crashing into the floor, head-first. Tristan slowly walked over to Mighty with a sweatdrop. "You okay...?"
"Sure... I've fancied looking the floor up closer anyway..." Mighty muttered.
"See my point?" Velene asked.
"Totally..." Huskymon added.
Sighing, Knuckles turned and walked off. "Fine... different entrance for past foxy here..."
Velene pouted. "Hmph..."
Moments later, Davis came back into the room with a huge grin on his face. "I did it, Knuckles! I did it! I've found the perfect guy for the younger Scrooge!"
"And that is...?" Knuckles slowly asked.
Enter Flamedramon, Armour Digivolved form of Veemon with the Digiegg of Courage. He sighed as he scratched the back of his head in a nervous manner. "Me..."
"THAT will be intresting..." Espio said as he entered the room. "We should add some more lines into Atemu's narrator script. 'Scrooge had plastic surgery to change from a flaming blue humanoid dragon to a perverted, idiot black dog', THAT will bring tears to the audience's eyes..."
Velene nodded. "Yeah... in LAUGHTER!"
"Hey, it's not like this play is already messed up. So far, Scrooge's worker is a husband and father and he is a small orange dinosaur. The mother is a tall fox while Tiny Tim is a small furry, female puppy and her siblings are Eevees." Davis said.
"Good point..." Knuckles muttered.
Inumon and BelleHuskymon entered the room, Inumon rubbing his chest. "That's it... no more practising on that scene..."
"Why? What happened?" Flamedramon asked.
Huskymon sighed. "It's the scene where the younger Scrooge leaves his old lover, Isabelle, behind and my sister happens to take this scene seriously."
Blushing, BelleHuskymon bowed. "Sorry, Inny."
Smirking, Davis looked at Inumon. "Inny?!"
"Just zip it..." Inumon growled before looking at Flamedramon. "And what about you? Why are you here, Flamedramon?"
Flamedramon sweatdropped. "Well, you see, erm..."
Espio gave off a small smile as he patted Inumon on the back. "Inumon, Flamedramon here is going to play the younger version of Scrooge."
Inumon just stared at Flamedramon before grabbed his claw and shaking it. "Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Oh, I'm saved!!!"
Then, BelleHuskymon started to bawl like a baby. "NO!!! I WANT MY INNY! DON'T LEAVE, MY DEAR INNY! STAY!!!" Without any warning, she grabbed Inumon by the chest. "STAY!!!"
"Oh no... here we go again..." Inumon muttered before he crashed onto the floor with BelleHuskymon hugging him tightly on his chest, crying like crazy. In a matter of seconds, Inumon started to howl and slammed his paw onto the ground as if he was tapping out. "AHH!!! I GIVE!!! I GIVE!!! AHH!!!"
A bigger sweatdrop came onto Flamedramon's head. "Davis... do I have to get hugged by a looney female crying Digimon?"
"Yep... sorry, buddy... but, this is the punishment you get for having to flame my butt during a battle." Davis explained.
"Why me...?" Flamedramon moaned.
"Now your starting to sound like Inumon." Huskymon said.
Moments after BelleHuskymon unlatched herself from Inumon, a familiar blue hedgehog entered the room, carrying a metal tool box under his arms. "Hey, guys!"
"Sonic? What are you doing here?" Knuckles asked.
Sonic walked over to a chair and put the tool box onto it. "Not much... I've heard that Inumon might not survive the play so, I brought him stuff that might be up to his needs."
Inumon perked up. "Really?"
Flipping the tool box open, Sonic nodded. "That's right. I'm sure you'll like them..." He started to remove some stuff. "Bandages, medicene..."
"Stop it, Sonic..." Inumon growled.
"Crutches... 20-foot long battering ram..." Sonic continued, taking out stuff.
Inumon blinked. "Huh?!"
"X-Box... Playstation 2... GameCube..." Sonic muttered, bringing out more stuff.
Blinking and sweatdropping, Inumon turned to Knuckles. "How did he...?"
"Don't ask... Just do not ask..." Knuckles muttered.
Laughing, Sonic brought out another object. "As well as a stretcher amongst other things..." He placed it away and grabbed a side drawer. "There is also a drawer for small things..."
"Like what?" Velene asked.
"Oh, not much... Just some coins, buttons, pins..." Sonic said, pulling the drawer back until it got TOO long. "...Skies, brooms, poles and there is even room for you, Knuckles!"
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Gee, thanks..."
"The rehearsal time is almost over..." Vector calls out.
Espio nodded. "So, any plans?"
Nodding, Knuckles turned to Inumon. "All right then... go behind that curtain and do your starting bit... Get into the Scrooge character by yelling out his trademark word!"
"Humbug?" Inumon asked.
"Yes, that's the one!" Knuckles said.
With a quick nod, Inumon leapt to the back of the curtain and after a few moments... "Humbug! Humbug! HUMBUG!!!"
Grinning, Knuckles clapped. "He is really getting into character, isn't he?"
Popping his head around the curtain, Inumon held out a small sweet bag. "Humbugs anyone?"
The response that got was Knuckles falling to the ground while Sonic laughed. Flamedramon turned to Davis, confused. "What's a humbug?"
"It's a English mint that is covered with a black and white shell." Davis explained.
"SWEET!" Huskymon and BelleHuskymon screamed, leaping over to get some humbugs.
Velene sweatdropped at that. "Oh my... this is gonna be one strange play..."
"I agree..." Came the muffled reply of Mighty as he still has his face into the ground.
