Operation: Karaoke
Act VI: GiR Plays Pong
Last time on Operation Karaoke, Gaz showed Tak the business end of a sledgehammer, then she showed everyone else that she was Missundaztood. Then she ducked and covered as GiR made the stage explode. But was it GiR? Megumi doesn't think so...
Megumi: No, I know so. I'm writing this flogging thing, aren't I?
Zim: *grumbles* Unfortunately for us.
Dib: *grumbles* Ficlet abandoner! Murderer!
Megumi: I'd love to force you two to do something embarrassing right now, like singing a duet-
Zim/Dib: Gack!
Megumi: -but there are more pressing matters at hand. Like just which one of my muses it was who blew up the stage last time!
Gaz: Not just the stage, either. *grimly holds up charred remains of a game cartridge*
Everyone Else: *gasp*
Megumi: No! Not Urban Yeti!
Gaz: *icy nod* Yeah. Urban Yeti. And I was two Frickin' levels away from beating it for the fifth time. Someone is going to die. *points at Dib* You!
Dib: Huh? What! I did nothing!
Gaz: Shut up! I'm stuck playing "The Be All And End All Of All Phantasmagoria Stratagems Changed for the Better" because of you!
Zim: Stupid earthling games with their stupid long names...
Random Voice: Games aren't stupid!
Gaz: *menacing Dib with chainsaw* Damn straight.
GiR: Who was that? And do you have cookies!?
Random Voice: Eh? Oh! I have yummy cookies, yup!
Megumi: *goes pale* Erp. Random Girl? Is that you?
Random Girl: *randomly pops up*
GiR: *glomps her leg* Cookies? Tacos? Slushies?
Random Girl: Sure! *it begins raining Jello cookies, gummi-worm tacos, and RandomBerry Brainfreezies.*
GiR: Yay! Pong, pong...
Zim: Huh? What is this Pong nonsense, GiR?
Megumi: Random Girl, what are you doing here?
Random Girl: *tap dancing* Isn't it obvious? Bush!
Dib: You mean the president?
Random Girl: Heck no! The shrub!
Dib: Oh, well, that's alright then. *nervously backs away from Gaz, who has somehow managed to get ahold of a flambeau*
Gaz: Shut. Up! *gags with duck tape*
Zim: Isn't that Earth-junkage supposed to be called duct-
Gaz: *growl* No.
Zim: Allright, then. I shall back away slowly now...
Random Girl: *cartwheels up to stage* I'm here cause you didn't do anything with this fic for nine months- Hey, so that's where that smell is coming from!
Megumi: *sulk* I'm doing something now, aren't I?
Random Girl: Yeah, cause I'm here!
Megumi: You made the stage combust!
Random Girl: Nu uh. It's fixed, see? *magically, it is*
Zim: What? *mad dash up to stage*
GiR: *squeal* My turn! My turn! *runs up to stage and grabs mike*
Mike: Hey!
GiR: Sorry! *lets go of Mike and grabs the microphone*
Zim: Traitor! My own SiR unit! E tu, GiR?
GiR: *clueless* Huh?
Dib: Mmmph mmph mm. *is still smothered by duck tape*
Megumi: What did he say?
Gaz: Either, "Get this duck tape off my mouth", or "Steal my glasses and my trench coat and dip them in purple paint, then cover me with fish sausages and throw me into a pit of starving cats."
Megumi: I bet it was the first one.
Gaz: So? *is covering Dib in fish sausages*
Random Girl: *randomly pops out*
Megumi: *relieved sigh*
Random Girl: Don't worry, I'm still here in spirit!
Megumi: Damn!
GiR: I'm gonna sing now! I'm gonna sing now!
Zim: No! It's my turn. And why must you say everything twice?
GiR: *shrug* Dunno! Dunno!
Zim: *bangs head against clenched fist* What did I do to deserve such a stupid SiR unit?
Red: *randomly pops in* Want a list?
Random Girl: Toldya!
Zim: Eh?
Purple: *randomly pops in* Hey, Red! No fair running away when I'm killing you at DDR!
Red: What? You are not!
Purple: *smug* Am too.
Red: *scowl* I'll show you! *pops out*
Purple: Loser. *pops out*
Zim: *is attempting to seize the microphone from GiR* Give it to me! I must sing! I must escape this foul hellish pit of DOOM!
GiR: Nooooooooooooooooooo! *runs*
Dib: Mmmph! Mmmph!
Megumi: Okay, I know he said "Get this duck tape off my mouth," that time.
Gaz: Doom. Don't worry, Dib. I'll get you next time...
GiR: *runs up to Fillmore* *glomps* *steals controls of karaoke machine and programs song selection in* *runs off*
Fillmore: At the risk of repeating myself, I aint gettin' paid enough for this!
*guitar music begins*
Zim: *sobs* Noooooo! *makes mad dash for karaoke machine, but is stopped by Megumi*
Megumi: Sorry, Zim. Once a song is on, it stays on until it's over.
Zim: *has emotional breakdown, as promised* Why? Why? Why?!?!?!
Dib: *has finally been ungagged* Hey... This song sounds... Eerily familiar...
Megumi: *eyes widen* Oh god... No...
Dib: *gasp* It's the song that gets on everybody's nerves!
Megumi: It was the number one downloaded song on iTunes!
Gaz: It's... It's...
Zim: Stacey's Mom?!?! GiR, you fiend!
GiR: Nah, of course that's not it!
All: *collective sigh or relief*
GiR: It's got my words to it! So it's different! Hahahaha!
All: NOOOOoOOOOOO!
GiR: I'd like to dedicate this song to a really awesome game that I saw on TV the other day. And I bet you three cookies that you can't not get this song stuck in your head! *takes deep breath, even though he doesn't have any lungs... o_O...*
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
*clap clap clap*
Tuesday morning I was watching the TV-e-e-e-e.
(The TV)
Saw Scary Monkey playing his old Ata-a-a-a-a-a-ri.
(Old Atari)
Colored blocks, funky music, and a little ball.
(Little ball)
It was love at first sight, so I ran to the ma-a-a-a-all.
(Ran to the mall)
And got the game that would fulfill my every fantasy.
Now I'm hopelessly addicted, could this be my destiny?
{Chorus}
Playing Pong,
And singing this darn song.
It's all I love, since my cupcake is gone.
Master can't you see?
Global conquest's not for me.
Can't stay and sing for long, 'cause
It's time for me to play some Pong.
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
Playing Pong, and singing this darn song.
*clap clap clap*
Sorry Master, I'm busy, I can't help with your schemes.
(Help with your schemes)
'Cause Pong is better than all my wildest dre-e-e-eams.
(Wildest dreams)
You should try playing sometime, cause it's loads of fun.
(Loads of fun)
But you'll never beat my scores; I'm the Pong champio-o-o-on.
(Pong champion)
Well the Tallest might complain, or the smeets invade.
But I don't give a hoot but for the coolest game I've played!
Playing Pong,
And singing this darn song.
It's all I love, since my cupcake is gone.
Master can't you see?
Global conquest's not for me.
Can't stay and sing for long, 'cause
It's time for me to play some Pong.
*instrumental*
Playing Pong,
And singing this darn song.
(And singing this darn song.)
It's all I love, since my cupcake is gone.
(Goodbye, my cupcake.)
Master can't you see?
Global conquest's not for me.
Can't stay and sing for long, 'cause...
It's time for me to play some
Playing Pong
(Aa aaa aaaa)
(Time for me to play some.)
Playing Pong
(Aa aaa aaaa)
(Goodbye, my cupcake.)
Master can't you see?
Global conquest's not for me.
Can't stay and sing for long, 'cause
It's time for me to play some Pong.
GiR: Whee! *spins, spontaneously combusts again*
All: *twitch*
Random Girl: Bravo! Bravo! Encore!
Megumi: I knew it! I knew you were behind this! *glares*
Random Girl: Yup yup yup! One, two, three nectarines! I thought it was good!
Dib/Zim: You would.
Random Girl: Martini!
Megumi: Go away! *shoos*
Random Girl: Hey! You'd never have gotten this chapter out if it weren't for me!
Megumi: I- but- er-
Random Girl: HA! Lucky cookie zuchinni! *absconds*
Megumi: Curses. Foiled again.
Dib: *aside, to Zim* So... You're up, I guess.
Zim: What are you talking a- *gasp* It is!!!
*runs happily to stage*
Dib: At last! We can all get out of here!
Megumi: Well... Um...
Dib: Well... Um? I don't like that!
Megumi: We'll have to wait until next chapter, I'm afraid...
~*~*~*~*~
A/N: I blame this chapter on Pong, Fountains of Wayne, and the ADS on ADHD that took first place at Districts last week, which mentioned Random Girl. There will be ONE more chapter of this fic, and then I can finally have a clean conscience about this odd little thing. Only one more song to parody! Whoo hoo! But what should Zim sing? Hmm, decisions, decisions...
