"Hello guys and gals." A blue haired man started, trying to sound joyful but to no avail. The lights brightened and a room of elegance and class was unveiled from darkness. "How are you all today?"
A faint "fine" was his response.
"That's great." Legato looked around at the audience and his grin broadened even more. "It seems as though we have more guests today. That's good." He strummed his fingers together as they were close to his mouth. "That's very good."
"Well kids, today we have a special guest on our show. He is a hurt mortal enemy in another story is my envious enemy. Come on in Vash the Stampede."
Corny welcoming music began to play as the blonde show gunman came through the "front" door of the "house".
"Hello everybody!" The donut loving typhoon waved at the audience and stopped in mid-wave. His eyes widened and he stepped forward slowly. "W-W-Wolfwood?!"
A dark-haired guy in the audience looked around wondering why the spotlight was suddenly on him. "Who? Me?"
"Yes! It's really you! Wolfwood!" Vash said, spreading his arms widely and running towards the stranger crying. Not long after the stranger was wrapped in the arms of a crying humanoid typhoon. "You're alive! You're really alive!"
"AaaAaaAA! I'm NOT HiM!!"
"Vash stopped spinning the person and looked at the now swirly eyed Wolfwood impersonator. "Your not…Wolfwood?"
"No! I'm Drew!"
"Drew? …AAH!! I hugged a stranger! Cooties!"
"Well you hug people all the time so why should you care now?"
"What? How did you know that?" Vash got really close to Drew's ear and whispered one simple question. "Are you a gun-ho gun?"
"No. I'm just a big fan of your show."
"I have a show?"
"Uh…Yeah!"
"Why didn't I know of this? I'm calling my lawyer!"
"You don't have a lawyer. But you do have two insurance girls. Oh and speaking of which. What the world needs now….is love sweet love!" Drew continued singing as Vash blushed and got even redder when he noticed that Meryl was in the audience.
"Shh! Shh!!!" He said nudging Drew in the ribs.
"Hehehe…"
Vash went back to the couch to hopefully take Meryl's mind off of Drew's song.
"Now Vash." Legato began. "Are you done interrupting my show?"
"Uh…hehe…yeah I guess so."
"Now, those of you who don't know, today's theme is love poetry."
"Yup!"
"Love poetry is perhaps the most beautiful type of poetry. The author sets up a romantic atmosphere with words and spills their silly little emotions onto paper in the form of a poem." Legato said. "Do you have a poem for us Vash?"
"Actually I do. As many of you know, song lyrics are a form of poetry. Well my poem is a part of the song entitled Hello by Lionel Richie.
"I've been alone with you inside my mind,
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me your looking for?
Cause I can see it in your eyes,
I can see it in your smile
You're all I ever wanted
My arms are open wide
Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
So let me start by saying,
I love you."
"That was disgusting….-ly beautiful. Thanks Vash."
"Thank you too Legato."
"Was there someone that inspired you to read that particular poem aloud Vash?"
Drew laughed hysterically in the audience until Legato glared at him evilly and Drew sunk down in his seat.
When Legato turned back around Vash was standing over him. "What are you doing?"
"Hm." Vash chuckled. "I'm taller than you!"
Legato laughed slightly. "At least I'm no Himura Kenshin."
The audience laughed while Vash, considering he had no drum set, said, "Budum chh!"
"Anyways," Legato began again, getting a bit annoyed. "Who inspired you?"
Vash started pressing his fingers together nervously while looking around the audience. "Well umm…"
"AWW!!" Everyone turned to look at the girl standing bow-legged in the doorway of the audience room. It was Rain. "He's talking about-"
"No! I want to say it! Besides, what are you walking like that?"
Rain giggled. "I tell you what, if punishment is a bad thing, then I must be Satan."
Legato went wide eyed.
"I don't get it!" Vash whined.
"You really don't want to." Legato replied.
"Budum chh?"
"No…just…no." Legato took a deep breath and looked back at Vash. "Now, once again, Vash, who was this song for?"
"Well uh umm…"
"Just say it already!"
"Meryl!" Vash's voice squeaked like a frat-boy as he confessed.
The short insurance girl blushed brightly as she stood up. "You do? You… you love me?"
"Uh…yeah?" He said, scared of getting hit.
"I…um…I love you too."
"Really?" Vash jumped up from his seat.
Meryl nodded. "I do."
"Yippee skippee!!" Vash ran across the room to the audience and threw Meryl over his shoulder. He then ran out of the room screaming "See ya!"
"Aww…" Legato watched the door. "How grotesque."
"I bet they went to eat sandwiches." Drew yelled.
Rain cracked up laughing and fell back our of her seat. "I am okayyy no I'm not."
"Well that's nice. Lets get on with the show once again. My poem is called Alone, by the great Edgar Allan Poe. Who has ever heard of Edgar Allan Poe?"
Hoots of happiness roared from the audience.
"Obviously people love Edgar Allan Poe. Now, this poem describes my love lif. Or lack there of.
"From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then–in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life–was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view."
A small, slightly hesitant applause ended the poem.
"You see? This story describes the love of being alone as a demon erupts from the sky to join the person in his sanctuary."
A bell sounded signaling the end of the show.
"Well kids, I guess that's all for today."
"Aww!"
"I know, I know. But I will see you again next time. Good bye for now. On the next episode is themed beauty, see you then!" Legato tried to sound cheerful but it really didn't work, it just made him sound all the more creepy.
