The Interview Show
'With your host, the ever so prodigious, Holly!'
Holly: Now it's time we bring out the ever changing, Jun!
(Smiles and waves to everyone as she takes her seat adjacent to Holly)
Jun: I must ask. Why did you say 'ever changing'?
Holly: I dunno, I was running out of this to say…besides, it's true…you did change.
Jun: So did Ren.
Holly:(glaring sweatdrop)well Ren's not here right now…
Jun: --;;; Never mind then, I suppose.
Holly: Anyway, it's nice having you on the show. I'd like to ask you a few questions-which shouldn't be too hard considering-in my opinion-you're the easiest for me to connect with.
Jun: What sort of question?
Holly: I'd simply like to ask-first of all-how is Ren?
Jun: he's alright…
Holly: Angry as always?
Jun:(sweatdrop) of course.
Holly: Now I'd like to ask you how it's going with the Tao family.
Jun: Well. A lot more of our relatives are starting to trust us again. Ren and I are slowly, but surely, regaining the respect from all our family members.
Holly: That's wonderful. I'm happy for you and Ren.
Jun: Yes, I'm very happy for all of us.
Holly: Now…one last question I'm just dying to ask (A/N: Yes a pun was intended…)
Jun:(glaring) (in her mind) here it comes…
Holly: What are your feelings for Pyron? (That's "Lee Pailong")
Jun: --;;; I knew you'd ask that.Pyron is my guardian and friend…that's all.
Holly: reeeeeeeeeeeeeally…?
Jun: Absolutely…
Holly: …oh…ok! Well thank you for being here Jun. It was a pleasure to have you on the show.
Jun: I'm glad I could be here.
Holly: Have fun shopping in Doby village.
Jun:(smiles) The only reason I'm having fun is because I'm secretly borrowing Ren's money. Don't tell him though…he'll have a fit.
Holly: Will do.
(Jun exists the stage to meet Pyron at the door to go backstage. The audience "ooooh's". Pyron shoots everyone an evil look. The audience shuts up.)
Holly: Next on the show is the cute and petit, Manta!
(Manta blushes and waves while walking on stage)
Holly: So Manta…how's life treating you?
Manta: Very good thanks.
Holly: That's great! Manta, how would you describe your relationships with Ghosts now compared to when you first met Yoh?
Manta: Oh I've changed a lot since then, Holly. I've become a lot more confident than I used to. Now when I see ghosts I don't freak out at all…not like I used to.
Holly: That's excellent! Congratulations. But Manta…?
Manta: yes?
Holly: If you were given the chance to be a Shaman, would you?
Manta: Hmmm, actually I think I'd decline that offer, Holly.
Holly: Why so?
Manta: As much as I'm confident about hanging out with ghosts, I'm still not confident enough to fight with one. Not to mention with Zeke-or as you like to say Hao-in the tournament things would be even scarier for me. Perhaps someday in the future I'll change my mind.
Holly: That's good, I'm sure a ghost would love to have you as his shaman.
Manta: (blushies) Aw…
Holly: Now, anyway, speaking about Hao, how do you feel about this whole 'terminate the humans' thing?
Manta: Well I most certainly do not think it's fair. Like you said earlier to him, not all humans are bad. I was very surprised when he was actually nice to me…or at least…he seemed nice to me.
Holly: Oh, really?
Manta: Yes. Though he has indirectly insulted me. He once asked Yoh why'd he'd 'waste his time' with a human. I felt very offended by that comment.
Holly: Any human would be. But sliding along the topic of Yoh and the gang…how do you think they're progressing the tournament?
Manta: Well, I must say Holly, they're succeeding very well. They're always growing so much stronger.
Holly: Who do you hope will win, Manta?
Morty: well, I was hoping it would be Yoh, but after really thinking about it, I think that anyone who is kind and considerate should have an equal chance at the crown.
Holly: Well thank you for your input Manta. It was to a great extent appreciated.
Manta: Well thank you for inviting me.
Holly: Good luck to you in your quest for becoming a stronger person.
Manta: Oh thank you, and good luck to you and your TV ratings.
Holly: Aw, fankz!
(Manta cheerfully leaves the stage and heads backstage)
Holly: Now it's time to…that's right…move on to a commercial break!
(4 random commercials come on)
Holly: Our next guest is a hot head that's sure to set the room at a steaming temperature! Any way you write it, the pronunciation will always be…REN.
(Ren walks on stage looking rather…focused. Virtually all the girls in the crowd start to swoon over Ren.)
Holly: Welcome to the show, Ren.
Ren: Thank you for inviting me.
Holly: You are most oober welcome!
Ren: Oober?
Holly:(sweatdrop) I was running out of enchanting words so I decided to make my own.
Ren: Ah, I see. Well make sure they make a little more sense, and are less annoying.
Holly:(sweatdrop) Alrighty then. Ren, how's life with the Tao family now as compared to before you met Yoh?
Ren: Well, Holly, things have been pretty steamy with the rest of the Tao family…but…we are all learning to respect each other.
Holly: So…what about your father? (Note: To all of you out there who watch the dub. "Father" would be "Uncle")
Ren: I don't care about him.
Holly: But didn't you say you were making up with the rest of the family?
Ren: No I did not…weren't you listen!
Holly: --;; well the basics of what I said-
Ren: Obviously you're not that bright if you can't listen to what I say word for word. You asked a question, and I answered it.
Holly: Ok, on this show we have two simple rules. Keep it non-bias…and don't insult the host. You have already crossed one rule.
Ren: (glares at Holly)
Holly: On to our next question. How do you feel being on a team withChoco and Horo Horo? Do you enjoy being the team leader? And why Team Ren?
Ren: Well, first of all, I called it team Ren because it needed a superior name. And no name is more superior than mine. (Fan girls cheer) Second of all, of course I enjoy being team leader. I am most certainly qualified to be the leader because of the three of us, I'm the strongest, and its plain common sense to have the strongest be the leader. Lastly, as much as those two buffoons annoy me, I suppose I could have been left with worse teammates. I don't consider their company a blessing, but it's certainly not a curse either.
Holly: Well said, Ren.
Ren: Why thank you.
Holly: Now Ren, what do you think of the tournament so far?
Ren: Actually, Holly, it's pretty lame. There's really been no good action yet. I'm hoping that there will be a good fight coming up soon. Perhaps against Hao or the X-laws? I'd even like to battle Yoh, though I'd rather do that one on one.
Holly: Oh yes! That'd be the match of the century. Do you have any goals for the tournament…or perhaps for after the tournament?
Ren: Well, I believe the main goal for myself right now is to become stronger and win the Shaman Tournament.
Holly: Well…thank you for being here Ren, I, and I'm sure numerous girls in the audience, enjoyed your company here today.
Ren: Well thank you for increasing my superior look.
Holly: Oh…and just before you go…many fangirls say you're in love with Horo Horo, any comment?
Ren: O.O! WHAT? That is THE most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Those people are idiots!
Holly:(sweatdrop) Er…right…
(Ren walks off stage while a number of fangirls yell to Ren confessing their undying love for him)
Holly: And finally, Mr. Blue with a cool attitude…please welcome Horo Horo!
(Horo Horohappily and excitedly jumps out and waves his arms around to the fans. About 40 of the fangirls are yelling some random love stuff while the others just cheer. Some guy fans are yelling about how he rules.)
Horo: (slumps down in chair) Oh man, it's so wicked to be here!
Holly: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself in my happy blue chair.
Horo: I'm really enjoying it!
Holly: (goes all blushie)
Random guy in the crowd: HOLLY LOVES HORO!
Holly: O.O!(gets ticked)URUSAI! (That's Jap for "shut up")
Horo: (major sweatdrop)
Holly: Anyway,…
Another guy from the crowd: XD You fight with a stick!
Horo: O.O!(gets ticked off)SHUT UP! YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE!
AGftC: …
Horo: That's better.
Holly: Ok, Horo, I must ask…why do you hate being called HoroHoro? You've mentioned in the dub that you don't like your name…
(Note: Please note that I had seen every little if any of the original jap series when I wrote this...gomen guys! And yes, I'm AM well aware that his full name is Horokeu Usui.)
Horo: What kid would be proud of a boring repetitive name…?
Holly: What do you mean?
Horo: I know it's my name and all…but Horo... I mean…that's kinda…
Holly: …gay?
Horo:(sweatdrop) I guess you could say that.
Holly: Well…think of it this way…you could shorten it to Horo…then change the first 'o' to an 'e'.
Horo: that would be…thinks about it Hero.
Holly: Right!
Horo: Hmmm, Hey! I like that! Hero!
Holly: Yeah, there are a few characters with that name!
Horo: Cool! I'll keep that in mind.
Holly: So anyway…let's talk about that fight with the prophecy dude.
Horo: Man that dude was nuts. He thought up some prophecy thing because of a stupid song that he played backwards…now, what kind of mentally sane person can clearly hear words while playing something backwards?
Holly: Well…if you spell mom and wow backwards it's the same.
Horo: So is dad…but it's not like the song had anything to do with cool parents.
Holly: Parents aren't cool?
Horo: No way.
Holly: Ah, I see. So anyway,-
Horo: You say that a lot.
Holly:(glares) Got something better?
Horo: 'So how about…'
Holly: About what?
Horo: No, I was suggesting it to you.
Holly: Suggesting what?
Horo:(glaringsweatdrop)Never mind.
Holly: Ok. (does a small swoon)
Horo: ...?
Holly:(sweatdrop) Anyway, um…how are the koropokokuru?
Horo: Actually, their population has gone up a little…or at least that's what Pirika said. But I heard that they're trying to put a new resort in that area, so the population will probably go down again.
Holly: What a bummer. I wish people would just leave nature alone.
Horo: Me too! I wish they'd leave it alone completely!
Holly: I wouldn't go as far as to say completely…but I definitely think they're using way too much resources.
Horo: Mm-hm, Mm-hm (nods head in agreement.)
Holly: Speaking of koropokokuru…do you miss home at all?
Horo: Hey, I love my home and I miss it a lot, but I like traveling too! So…I guess I'm kinda on a half and half with that. I'd like to go visit my home as soon as the tournament is over.
Holly: Well, I must say Horo…in a turn of events we've reached the end ofpage 4.
Horo: Congratulations…I think…
Holly: (hugs him) Arigatou! (Holly blushes)
The audience: Oooooooooooooooooh!
Some guy from the audience: GET IT ON!
Horo: (blinks in confusion, then ignores it) Ok, anyway…
Holly: Lastly, I'd like to ask if you'd give me some snowboarding lessons!
Horo: HEY! I'd LOVE TO!
Holly:(sweatdrop) I only learned to ski and that was almost 4 years ago.
Horo: Oh? Why skiing and not snowboarding…snowboarding's WAY better than skiing…
Holly: Yeah, I figured, but our teacher wouldn't let us snowboard…only ski.
Horo: Bummer.
Holly: Yeah, and afterwards we can get some pizza.
Horo: (smiles happily)
The audience: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That guy again: GET IT ON!
Horo:(glares) Why does that guy keep saying that?
Holly: (blushes) I…don't know…(sweatdrop) Anyway, thank you for being here.
Horo: Ah, my pleasure! It was fun talking with you!
Holly: (blushes a little)I'm glad you enjoyed it…
Some other random guy in the audience: (CoughHollylovesHoroHoroCough)
Holly: (glares)
Horo: o.o?
Holly:(major sweatdrop)AAAAAAAAANYWAY! I think it's about time I rap this up! Would you like to help end this episode, Horo-chan?
Some girl from the crowd: SHE CALLED HIM –CHAN! YAY! (other girls begin to cheer)
Horo& Holly: o.o…
Holly:(sweatdrop) Well, this is Holly andHoro saying…
Horo: ...don't laugh at Choco's jokes…he's an idiot!
Holly: Good night!
(Credits role while the camera zooms out on Holly andHoro talking)
P'g: There it is you guys! The last installment! Yahoo! The Interview Show: Shaman King is now complete! (sweatdrop) I'm sorry for the prolonging of the Horo/Holly session. ...It...just happened. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story! R&R!
