AN: The other day...I was reading this over, and the first thing I thought of, which probably you are all asking is..."Wow, how the hell did I come up with this?" Frankly, I have no idea...it must be in the MnMs...
Anywho, GUESS WHAT! I had this drawing of Mickey Mouse on styrofoam (sp?) at my graduation, and everyone signed it, and look who also signed it:
Father Joe (Remember the Holy Water!!)
No joke! He's the guy who inspired the 'No-Shit-Sherlock-Creepy-Old-Nun-with-Holy-Water! Yay! And you wonder how I get crazy ideas! ;)
This chapter isn't AS crazy as the other ones...but still crazy. Ta-rust me, the last chapter will make up for it. Sorry this took awhile, it was hard for some reason...writing a silly radio show, lol.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own RFR, and if you still sue, you won' t get much.....except for some lint from my pockets, and the bag of MnMs, which you would have to get from my 'cold dead finger King Fu grip.' (the MnMs, not the lint)
Happy Go Nutso Roscoe: Chapter 4
Robbie, Lily, Ray, and Travis were all seated in their usual places for the RFR broadcast. They watched as the count down clock ticked the final seconds before their air time. Travis was rechecking the controls on the tech board, while Lily was silently bickering to Ray about him spinning in his DJ chair, which he continued to do so even with Lily telling him to stop.
With only a small amount of seconds left, Robbie turned to his friends with a smirk on his face. "Let's do this." The rest of them seemed to share his excitement as they joined him with putting on their own headsets. Travis looked over the table, to make sure they were ready and held up his hands, starting the final countdown.
"And we're on in 5, 4, 3" Then he mouthed the final seconds, and with a wave of his hand he gave the cue to Robbie.
"You're listening to..." Robbie began.
"Radio" Travis added with a calm tone.
"Free." Lily piped up.
"Roscoe!" Ray finished with an enthusiastic grin as he practically jumped out of his seat. Robbie cleared his throat quietly before pulling his microphone closer to his mouth.
"I'm Question Mark," Robbie said as he began RFR's regular opening routine. "And I'm wondering....."
"What the hell is going on!?!" Ray interrupted in a loud voice, not giving Robbie a chance to finish his sentence, which might have been a more civilized way to open the show. As Robbie shot a disapproving look across the table to Ray, who was looking very pleased with himself, Lily leaned over and gave Ray a well deserved punch in the arm.
"Well, if you can get past the rudeness of Pronto here," Lily began after regaining her straight posture. Ray simply pouted and rubbed the newly made bruise on his arm. "You'll find that Pronto's question is very similar to the ones being asked by student's of Henry Roscoe High today."
"How true Shady," Robbie said."I think everyone is wondering who and why a random group of men came into Roscoe this morning." Travis nodded his head in agreement.
"Who cares!" Ray stated bluntly, backing away from Lily's threatening fist. "We all know they are just plain creepy."
"As creepy as they are, they have to be here for something." Travis said wisely with a shrug of his shoulders. "Yeah defiantly Smog, but Pronto here is too naïve to understand the facts." Robbie remarked, widening his eyes at Ray, who glared at the insult to his intelligence.
"The fact I want to know is..." Lily began glancing at all of them. "Is why they are here in the first place."
"If I could put my two cents in," Travis began thoughtfully. "I think it has something to do with enforcing the new rules they have laid...."
"Defiantly, I mean they are the ones who read them to us, it would only be understandable if they are the reason why we have the new rules." Lily said. "The real question I want to know is why do we have them and the new rules?"
"Not only because it's making our school a living hell." Ray commented.
"Or a wacked out nightmare." Robbie added.
"It's also affecting the student body." Lily stated, beginning to wave her arms in the air, while getting her feelings out on the subject. "I mean, the new rules are getting rid of everyone, everything, or any actions that go against their so called view of perfection! How do they have the right to come into our school, and do this, meanwhile we have no clue who they are!?" Lily stopped and began taking deep breaths her nerves before continuing. No one dared to interrupt her. "How about we let the listeners voice their opinions on the matter Smog?" Without another word, Travis opened the phone lines for callers. Lily stared down at her microphone, taking steady breaths, not noticing that Ray was inching away from her.
"We have a caller on line 1." Travis informed them while holding up the chalkboard that read 'Annoyed'. Lily smiled as she turned back to her seat after reading the name.
"Hello Annoyed," Lily said eagerly into her microphone. "What do you have to say about the topic?"
"I think this whole thing is over the top." A female voice answered. "I mean, I can't even hug my boyfriend in the halls, not to mention not being able to kiss him. All because of these new rules."
"Wow...that's harsh." Robbie said with slight sympathy, as the rest of the gang listens intently.
"Totally, they said that it promotes 'sexual action' Sexual action, and I know sexual action, believe me......" The caller snorts as the DJs look around at each other in horror. "Sexual action my a-"
"Okay, how about we take our next caller, shall we?" Robbie interrupts quickly, before the caller could say anything else. Robbie waves his hand for Travis to end the call. Travis nods his head and hangs up on the caller before she could get another word in. Lily sighs gratefully, and Ray shakes his head in disbelief. After a few moments of regaining from shock, Robbie shakily brings the microphone back to his mouth.
"Uh, um...thanks for calling, Annoyed. Any other callers?" Robbie asked nervously, afraid who else might call up.
"Freedom of speech sucks..."Ray said under his breath. "And it's scary...."Suddenly, the Underground's phone rang again, with Travis promptly answering it. The gang watched as he wrote a name down on the chalkboard, with laughter flickering in his eyes. They continued to stare at him in bewilderment at what was so funny, until he held the board up, reading the name 'Slammin- Jammin. Ray raised his eyebrow, confused.
"What' so funny about that?"
"Hey!!!" A familiar female's voice said. Ray's eyes widened in horror at the realization of who was on the other line, and Lily placed her hand in front of her face, trying to control her silent fit of laughter. "Hey ya'all. You know, usually I don't listen to this station because it's all talkie, talkie, ya know? But, since what happened today, I thought I should tune in!"
"Good choice." Robbie said, as Lily waved her hand, not being able to talk...or practically breathe.
"Oh.My.Gawd." Veronica continued in her perky tone of voice. "Can you even believe what those men were doing today? There were so out of line!"
"What did they do to offend you?" Lily asked, still slightly flushed from laughter.
"Well, they totally accused my friends of dealing." Ronnie said, not sounding insulted at all. "And I went right up to him and said I didn't even know how to play or even deal cards!" The gang looked at each other with raised eyebrows, but this was typical Ronnie, so they weren't SO surprised. "But whatever, I am just going to take it with a grain of salt...."
"Or crack......" Ray mumbled under his breath, while covering his microphone.
"Okay, so ya'all rock on!" With that Ronnie hung up...to all their great pleasure. Robbie rolled his eyes and brought the mic to his mouth, slightly regretting of bringing the subject up.
"Any other callers..." Robbie asked reluctantly. Within seconds the phone rang again. They waited as Travis answered, and held up a new name, reading Ed and Ted.
"Ed and Ted, what are your thoughts on the issue?" Lily asked.
"Well," Ed began.. "I have-"
"We!" corrected the faraway voice of Ted. Ed sighed before continuing.
"Yes, I mean 'we' have been wondering who is behind all this."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked, perking up a bit. Robbie, Ray and Travis also listened with interest as Ed continued. The thought of someone behind all of this never really occurred to them.
"I mean, who do you think sent all the men?" Ed asked in a more stated way. "And also, who would make all these rules up?" Lily tapped the table thoughtfully, lost for an answer. The only person who she thought would do this would have to be.....
"Waller!" Ray said as if stating the obvious. "Who else would try to ruin our lives except Waller?"
"Yeah," Robbie agreed with a shrug glancing at Lily and Travis. "I mean, it's the only reasonable answer."
"Yes...we thought that too," Ed began uncertainly. "But it seems sort of fishy to me, I mean us..."
"What are you talking about?!" Ray cried shaking his head. "Think about it for a second. Waller has always been giving us a hard time with new rules, what would stop him now with a whole bunch of rules?!"
"Yes, I guess you're right. Well, thanks anyway." With that Ed and Ted hung up, leaving Ray, Robbie, and Lily entirely convinced who was behind all of the events that day. Travis sat silently in his tech booth, in deep thought. They didn't notice, and continued attacking Waller.
"So students of Roscoe," Lily began with enthusiasm, sitting up in her chair. "Has Waller gone to far this time?"
"Him always giving rules, and now a whole strict list! What will be in store of Henry Roscoe High next?" Robbie asked as if he was a news reporter talking about a crime.
"Is this just another faze, such as Happy People, Happy Planet? Or is it something that will turn out bigger?" Ray asked the audience. Robbie and Ray gave each other the thumbs up sign.
"Well, Principal Waller," Lily said in a dignified tone, while leaning closer to her microphone. "It may take 42 muscles to frown, but it only takes 17 to stick up my middle finger and say 'Bite Me-"
"How do you know it's Waller?" Travis asked suddenly coming out of his thoughtful silence. Lily pulled away from her microphone and turned to him, slightly perplexed. Robbie and Ray were also looking at him in the same way.
"Um....how about we take a break with this song?" Robbie suggested frantically into the mic. On his word, Travis took them of air, and placed a CD in the slot.
All, at the same time they took off their headphones and placed them on the table, just for all of them to turn around and have Travis receive questioning looks. Ray had his eyebrow raised at him, as if Travis had suggested something totally ridiculous.
"Hey, you sure you aren't borrowing any of Ronnie's stock?" Ray asked with a laugh. Travis shook his head with an exasperated sigh.
"No, I am just asking, what proof do you have that Waller is behind this." Travis said defensively. They all sat in silence, lost for words. Ray opened his mouth to say something, but then quickly decided against it, and closed his mouth.
"Exactly, it could be someone else, or even something for all we know." Travis explained. "Why would Waller create a whole set of rules that acted like as a filter for the student's of Roscoe? Look at the rules in a logic perspective and ask yourself this; What does Waller care about in using space bars, and script form stories? Or even why would he care about if you are moving away? If he hates your guts, he'll probably say good riddance....."
"Once again, Travis is mystifying us with intelligence," Ray muttered. "But now, with a dose of B.S...."
"No, Ray, Travis has a point." Robbie said. He glanced around at all of them, with Travis slightly relieved someone understood him. "I mean, what does Waller have against people who have secret siblings with cancer....."
"Or the Mary Sues?" Lily asked, understanding now. "I know some of us despise them," she said this with a roll of her eyes. "But why would Waller hate them? They always get good grades, which I expect would make the school look good."
"Yeah, Travis, you may be right." Robbie said, while Lily nodded her head in agreement. Ray still doesn't look entirely convinced with their explanations, or maybe because he was having too much fun ranting and raving about Waller, but he reluctantly sat back in his seat without another word against the idea.
"So....." Lily said with a shrug of her shoulders, looking Travis's way. "What do we now?"
"Well, a man once said," Travis said wisely. "Actions speak louder then words."
"Then let's take action and do something about it." Robbie instructed with a grin from ear to ear. They waited as the last seconds of the song played out, and eagerly placed their headsets on. Travis then pressed the on air button, and gave the cue to Lily.
"This is Shady Lane, and during the break, I think we have figured some stuff out..." Lily's voice drifted off as she gazed around at the boy's faces, then with a strong voice she finished. "And with your help, we are going to take action."
"A deranged man once said..." Ray spoke with a mocking intelligence. "That's the spirit!" With his last words, Ray banged on the table, using his fist, with glee.
"Leave it to Pronto to quote a half naked guy..." Travis remarked with a roll of his eyes.
No, I do not do deals with Ronnie and her friends......I am just a regular girl who has a dangerous crap load of MnMs, and knows how to use it.
