Shelinda

Episode II: The Crimson Three

(theme music)

Shelinda: Hello everyone! Welcome back to "Shelinda!" Well I have great news. After the tremendous ratings we got from our first episode. We are now in a better time-slot going from daytime to night!

(crowd cheers) So If you thoughts things were great now... They are just going to get better.

Now, On today's show we bring you the leader of the Al Bhed Machine Faction, Gippal! The praetor of New Yevon, Baralai! and the Youth League's leader, mevyn Nooj!

The three gentlemen were already seated when the camera turn to them. Form left to right it was Baralai, then Gippal, then Nooj.

Shelinda: Thank you all for coming. First off, Baralai and Nooj... Now that your groups have been having peace talks why haven't you two created some sort of alliance party.

Nooj: Well as easy as it was for us to unite. It isn't that way with our followers.

Baralai: Also, there are many issues we need to cover.

Shelinda: And Gippal, what is the Al Bhed's opinion on this?

Gippal: We Al Bhed have always been able to manage ourselves. So we're fine. Hopefully these two will learn from the master (points to himself. The other two roll their eyes)

Shelinda: You three seem close?

Baralai: We are. All three of us were candidates for the Crimson Squad...

Shelinda: Wait? Paine told us that you Baralai was in the squad, but she never mentioned Gippal or Nooj.

Gippal: We were all in the same group, including Paine. She was our recorder.

Shelinda: So you all go way back. (nod heads) Any further, back?

Nooj: No, I am from Kilika, Gippal is from Bikanel and Baralai is from Bevelle. So none of us knew each other until the squad started.

Shelinda: I see. It is time for us to take our first commercial break, Stay Tuned! (theme music)

COMMERCIAL

(Three Macalania musicians softly playing to a crowd. Barkeep Hypello walks in front off the camera)

Barkeep: Come to new cafe in Moonflow yesh. Tonight we b-be having mushic and danshing, yesh. Moonflow Cafe on the shouth bank. Come Yesh?

(Theme music)

Shelinda: And were Back! (crowd applauses) Okay, As I said before; Our programs are now being aired at night so we can have a little more fun. So guys we must settle some problems appearing in the media. First off Nooj, have there been any problems between your organization and the Leblanc Syndicate? Or is it more like problems between you and Leblanc?

Crowd: UUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Nooj: (nervous chuckling) Um.. well.. You see Leblanc and I are having umm...irreconcilable differences, between our parties, yeah our PARTIES!

Gippal: (laughs to himself)

Shelinda: Don't laugh so easily! Where have you been this past week.?

Gippal: Well I was in Bikanel. We found the entrance to a preserved machina storage room. Actually I just arrived here straight from Bikanel and plan to go back when I'm done.

Shelinda: And have you seen and news or current events?

Gippal: No

Shelinda: Well then I am afraid you might want to know about this. (holds out a small box, She opens it and pulls out a sphere) Do you know what this is?

Nooj: Oh no.

Baralai: Um Shelinda, please don't?

Gippal: What is she talking about, What is that sphere?

Shelinda: Well according to the box it is "Gippal: Sex Machine"

Gippal: Huh?

Shelinda: It's a sex sphere, with you and a young girl who shall remain anonymous.

Gippal: Sex sphere? Me, a sex sphere! No way! That is a fake!

Shelinda: You sure. (reading box) "See the horny Al Bhed leader, Do it again and a again, non-stop with his the everlasting machina in his pants and his AlBhed bitch. As she screams in ecstasy and he releases loads of ecstasy on her."

Gippal: Well that description sounds right about me, but that is not me!

Shelinda: Hmm, Yeah... should we play it and find out?

Crowd: PLAY! PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!

Gippal: No! Don't!

Shelinda: What are you afraid of? You said it's not you.

Gippal: Yeah but...

Shelinda: PLAY IT!

Gippal: (panic) STOP, (guilty) Alright I confess! I made a tape with Rikku, from the Gullwings! Okay! We were experimenting around with machina and I'm Sorry! (crying) Is IT SUCH A CRIME!

Shelinda: (paralyzed) umm...

The sphere plays, It is Shelinda backstage.

Shelinda in sphere: Gippal, You just got "Loco'd in Luca!" (laughs)

(sphere stops) (crowd laughs)

Shelinda: (giggles nervously) It was a joke?

Gippal doesn't pay attention and continues to cry in front of the camera.

Baralai: How can you be so cruel?

Shelinda: I'm sorry, but it's "Shelinda Prime time!" (crowd cheers)

Baralai: Still that is just not right. Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

Shelinda: O.K. Baralai. You asked for it... Recent reports and paparazzi photos have shown you and the former summoner Isaaru. Out in the Bevelle nightlife.

Baralai: We're partners in New Yevon.

Shelinda: Are you sure it's just New Yevon. Sources tell me you are in-fact a homosexual.

Crowd: UUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYY!

Baralai: (angry) THATS NOT TRUE!

Shelinda: Then explain,

Baralai: There is nothing to explain. We merely are both into the same hobbies. So we take part in them together.

Shelinda: Including, going to such nightspots as "Summoner's OTHER Staff" and "Big as A Shoopuf"?

Baralai: (angry) We go there to protest those establishments.

Shelinda: Where are your signs? Pamphlets Any symbol of propaganda?

Baralai: Ummm. It is an internal protest. Listen I'm not Gay!

Shelinda: Are you willing to prove it?

Baralai:I will shout it from Gagazet if I have to!

Shelinda: Fine. After the break, Baralai faces the GAY TEST! (theme music)

COMMERCIAL #2

(Leblanc's Theme Plays. Leblanc is on her bed laying in a provocative position)

Leblanc: Hello Loves. It's me, Leblanc. Join me Tuesday's at 9 pm. When my new reality show "Syndicate Style" airs. Where I find out who of these 20 hot guys has the style, the strength, and the sex drive, to be my new top henchmen. Join me won't you?

Announcer: That "Syndicate Style" Tuesdays a 9.

COMMERCIAL #3

(An Al Bhed man, slides out from under a machina all dirty and sweaty. A co-worker walks by him, he raises his arm and the worker faints.)

Announcer: STOP! Use Gagazest! For a clean and refreshing feeling all day. GAGAZEST!

(theme music. The set has been moved, putting Nooj and, a calm, Gippal to the left side. On the right Baralai is sitting on a stool, with a spotlight shining down on him.)

Shelinda: And we're BACK! So Baralai, are you ready? (he nods) For those of you tuning in, Baralai is about to take a Gay test to see if the rumors are true. So... let's begin. ("Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" style music plays) Question #1, You Gay?

Baralai: NO!

Shelinda: Question #2, (real fast) "homosaywhat".

Baralai: Okay, first off that has to be one of the oldest tricks in the book and... hold on what?

A/N: You get the picture. I'm just going to jump ahead...)

Shelinda: Well, let us analyze the results...The machine says...you're gay.

Baralai: I AM NOT!

Gippal: Chill out, dude. We always knew.

Baralai: I'M NOT!

Shelinda: I only have one more test. This will prove it all, no true gay man can resist, singing along...(to stage crew) Play track #2.

(real Emotion begins play, Gippal and Nooj sit confused. Baralai trembles and holds himself, like if he needed to go to the bathroom.

Song: "...All the things I see, In those hazy dreams, Can't compare to what I see tonight... Everything so different, that it brings me to my kneeeeesssss...

(Baralai finally gets up and knocks over Shelinda and grabs her mike)

Baralai: "...And oh... I know, the world of real Emotion has surrounded me., I won't give into it..."

(The camera turns down to Shelinda and she rubs a sore spot on her bottom)

Shelinda: Well that's our show this week. Tune it next time, with me Shelinda!

(Baralai run over to the camera sticking his face in the lens and singing.)
