Tales of Advertisement: Chapter Three (After this chapter, I seriously have no clue what to make an ad of... HELP WANTED!)
Disclaimer: Yes, we (SoC and I) do not own Tales of Symphonia, or any of the products we mention here. Yes, this is a boring disclaimer. Yes, I realize that at the beginning of each sentence so far is the word yes. Yes, I know it's annoying. Yes, I don't know I'm stupid. Yes, I know that the last yes was suppost to be a no. Yes, I'll get on with the real fic now.
Cherry-sama: Hi! And welcome back to Tales of Advertisement! Or ToA For short!
SoC (Sister-of-Cherry-sama, in intros/endings, she can be called SoCs): Thank you for reviewing last chapter!
Yggdrasill: Read this sad excuse for a chapter on Excuse me? "Sad excuse"? You're the saddest excuse for a living thing that I have ever seen.
Yggdrasill: So? You two are just a couple of inferior beings! Humans!
SoC(s): Yes, we humans are pathetic; I hate being human. However, Cherry-sama and I are better than you are. …Well… I'm not so sure about Cherry-sama, but…
Cherry-sama: HEY! (beats SoC(s) over the head with shoe made out of solid wood! MWAHAHAHA! Erp! Ahem…) Please read the chapter! n.n
Today was like any other day at the ToA studio (well…except for Zelos, the black hair dye wouldn't come out from last chapter). The ToS cast was sitting in the room where they were dumped last chapter…
Let's call that room the ToS quarters.
So, everyone was basically doing nothing except for Genis and Lloyd. Genis was teasing the crap out of Lloyd.
"Ha ha! You kissed the choooosen!" Genis teased as Lloyd blushed quite uncontrollably.
"Sh—shut it!" Lloyd told Genis, but Genis didn't obey.
"Right on the lips too! You kissed Colette on the liiiiiiipppps!" Genis teased more.
"Genis…" Raine started, trying to reason with her younger brother. "It is perfectly alright for a person Lloyd's age to kiss a girl also around his age."
"…" Kratos paused, for he wasn't comfortable with the topic.
"In fact, regular people his age start getting mates, or as humans know them, boy-friends and/or girl-friends. Bf and Gf for short." Raine explained.
"That's not the same for all humans…" Mithos/Yggdrasill teased while looking at Kratos with a smug grin.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Lloyd asked.
"Kratos didn't kiss Anna until he was 3987 years—" Yggdrasill started but Kratos interrupted.
"GRAVE!" Kratos yelled, for he was casting a spell on Yggdrasill.
A bunch of sharp, gray rocks punctured Yggdrasill. Ouch… xC
"Oooo! Kratos is embraaaaaasssssed!" Yuan teased, sounding so much like Genis.
"…-blush-…" Kratos blushed.
"Don't make fun of Kratos! I'm sure that he doesn't like it!" Colette told Yuan.
"That's the point of teasing." Yuan told Colette.
"But I know what it's like…sorta… I just had my first kiss…so…" Colette started, but she was interrupted.
"O.o That was you're first kiss?" Yuan gasped. "When I was your age, I had already kissed about 867 different girls!"
"Hey! Me too!" Zelos exclaimed.
"Joy… Yuan used to be like Zelos…" Sheena sighed.
"But I didn't sleep with girls, like he does. I only kissed/hugged girls."
"But what about Martel!" Lloyd pointed, sounding very shocked.
"That was before I met Martel." Yuan told Lloyd. "After I met her, I never did any of that stuff anymore."
"Awww… Why'd you stop?" Zelos asked.
"Martel, back then… Well... She was a bit like Sheena…" Yuan paused looking at Sheena.
"O.O… I now respect Martel a lot more…" Sheena told Yuan.
"I do too." Cherria paused as she walked through the door of the ToS quarters.
"What ad are we doing next?" Presea asked.
"The Heinz Ketchup ad!" Cherria exclaimed as SoC walked through the door.
"Is that the one with the duck in it?" Lloyd asked.
"Yep!" Cherria exclaimed.
"Yay!" Lloyd exclaimed as a random cookie landed in his mouth.
"Lloyd, you're the little boy. Noishe, you're the duck." SoC explained as she looked at Noishe.
"Hey… I wanted to explain stuff…" Cherria paused, looking up at SoC.
"Whine." Noishe whined.
Everyone looked over to see, Noishe, sitting in the same corner. How come they keep not detecting him? Let's call this corner, the Noishe corner.
"I feel stupid when I don't see Noishe and he's right there…" Raine paused.
"Stupid stupidity…" Yggdrasill (after healing himself from the blow) muttered.
"Kratos, we also need you in the chapter, but you won't have to do something stupid or embarrassing. You just have to sit on a picnic mat." SoC explained.
"Picnic mats… Hmmm…" Kratos hmmed, as usual.
"Lloyd, go to wardrobe and ask for you're outfit. If it doesn't fit, don't wear the costume." Cherria explained.
"Okay! n.n" Lloyd exclaimed, with the cookie still in his mouth.
"Cherria!" somebody called.
Cherria turned to face Zelos, with black hair.
"Yes?" Cherria asked; his black hair making her think it was Sheena talking.
"Can't you do anything about my hair?" Zelos asked, not thinking that he was mistaken for Sheena at this moment.
"Well… It does look a bit longer than usual… And you look better with it up…" Cherria commented, thinking Zelos was Sheena with her hair down.
"It does?" Zelos asked, not thinking his hair was mistaken for Sheena's.
"Yeah… and why are you wearing that outfit? It looks hideous on you! You should wear something purple." Cherria commented, in deep thought.
"But—" Zelos started.
"But it shouldn't be that ninja outfit…" Cherria paused. "It makes anyone who wear it look like a slut."
"And that's a bad thing?" Zelos asked.
"I would think so." Cherria muttered.
"What should I do?" Zelos asked.
"Don't worry! I fix you up for you!" Cherria exclaimed, patting Zelos on the back.
"Okay… If you say so…" Zelos muttered, unsure what he was getting himself into.
"Okay! Everyone to the set! And where on earth is Cherria!" SoC yelled, looking around the studio for her sister.
"She told me that she's busy helping Sheena look better. She told me that she wants you to be director." A random person told SoC.
"…Why me?" SoC asked.
"Because you are second in command!"
"Second in command? Why second?"
"Because she is the person who came up with the idea for the fic! And she's also the idea comer-upper for the fic you posted!"
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Alright, you be camera man!" SoC ordered, for SoC was usually the camera man.
"What? Why me!"
"Because I can't do it and I'm in charge! Now MOVE!" SoC ordered.
"…Okay…" the random person replied weakly.
"Lights! Camera! ACTION!" SoC called out.
"Ketchup, Take 1." The same take guy called.
Let's call the take guy Bobette.
Lloyd was standing in the grass of a nice park. Lloyd has a small paper cup-like-thing-that-is-square filled with French fries and in a corner was a small puddle of ketchup.
"Bring on Noishe!" SoC commanded.
Noishe (A.K.A.: duck) then trotted on set. Lloyd sees Noishe and throws him a French fry. Noishe eats it.
"Cut! Okay, we have to do another take." SoC told the set.
"What? Why?" Lloyd asked, thinking Noishe didn't do anything wrong.
"Lloyd, Noishe was suppost to dunk the French fry in the ketchup, then eat it." Kratos explained.
"He was?" Lloyd asked.
"Yes… So it would seem." Kratos paused.
"Ketchup, Take 2." Bobette called out.
"Action!" SoC called out.
Lloyd was standing in the grass of a nice park. Lloyd has a small paper cup-like-thing-that-is-square filled with French fries and in a corner was a small puddle of ketchup. Noishe then trotted on set. Lloyd sees Noishe and throws him a French fry. Noishe grabs the French fry and holds it in his mouth in a punk like way. You could compare him currently to a gangster with a bent/out-of-shape cigarette in his mouth. He trotted over to Lloyd; ate the French fry in his mouth; ate all the French fries in the small paper cup-like-thing-that-is-square; and licked up all the ketchup! Bad boy (no offence to Noishe lovers, I'm one)!
"CUT! Retake, again! And this has to be done right!" SoC grumbled as she glared at Noishe.
"Whimper…" Noishe whimpered.
"Lights! Camera! ACTION!" SoC yelled.
"Ketchup, Take 3." Bobette called.
Lloyd was standing in the grass of a nice park. Lloyd has a small paper cup-like-thing-that-is-square filled with French fries and in a corner was a small puddle of ketchup. Noishe then trotted on set. Lloyd sees Noishe and throws him a French fry. Noishe holds the French fry in his mouth. Noishe walked over to Lloyd, dipped the French fry in ketchup and ate the French fry. Lloyd is astonished (because Noishe actually did it) and camera turns to show Lloyd running over to Kratos (who was sitting on a Picnic mat). Noishe catches up with Lloyd and steals the whole cup-like-thing-that-is-square.
"Cut! That was PERFECT!" SoC called out.
"Not completely." Kratos told SoC while looking at Noishe, who was eating the last French fries with the last of the ketchup on it.
"Who cares? Cherria won't mind!" SoC (who was going to some extent insane from being director) exclaimed in a way she wouldn't usually do.
"By the way… Where is she?" Lloyd asked.
"She's—" SoC started.
"Right here!" Cherria finished as she walked into the room.
"How does Sheena look?" SoC asked, for she didn't see 'Sheena'.
"Would you like to see?" Cherria asked.
"Sure!" Lloyd exclaimed.
"I would assume that Zelos would enjoy seeing her…" Kratos paused.
"Seeing who?" the real Sheena asked as she walked into the room.
"Sheena? How did you—" Cherria started.
"How did I what? Oh… By the way… Zelos has wanted to talk to you about something. He said it was something about his hair colour." Sheena explained.
Cherria gasped, an idea just struck her. A terrible, horrifying idea. You might already know what her idea is.
"Ohhh… Dear…" Cherria gasped.
"What?" Lloyd asked.
"Just wait… I have to test something…" Cherria paused as she inhaled, obviously getting ready to shout across the studio. "ZELOS! COULD YOU COME HERE!"
There was a small pause.
"OKAY!" Zelos replied.
Zelos came into the set, looking like Sheena's clone, only prettier. He had his hair loose, but it was shortened to Sheena length. He was wearing black jeans (black blue jeans) that were a bit tight on him. He was wearing a purple sweater that had a logo that said: 'I love Mizho' on it. He was wearing tight boots that went up to his knees. If Sheena wasn't in the room already, you wouldn't be able to tell who was who.
"Zelos?" Cherria asked.
"Yes?" Zelos replied, his voice another thing you do to tell the difference.
Lloyd, Noishe, Kratos, SoC, Sheena, Cherria, and the rest of the random people on the set stared blankly at Zelos for a few seconds. Then, they all started to laugh like howler monkeys, including Noishe.
"What's so funny?" Zelos asked, not getting the big joke.
"I think you're going to have to stay out of advertisements for a few days." Cherria laughed as she failed to talk regularly, what you just read was a basic translation.
"Pardon?" Zelos asked, not understanding Cherria.
"…Zelos, if you want to find out what we are talking about then look in a mirror." Kratos told Zelos, first to recover from the laughing disease.
A random person held up a mirror. Zelos stared at it for a few seconds.
"Who put this picture of Sheena on this mirror?" Zelos asked, not knowing that the girl was him.
"That isn't a picture of Sheena…" Lloyd paused.
"…Who is it then…?" Zelos asked, starting to get why they are laughing at him.
"The girl's name starts with a 'Z' and ends with a 's'." Sheena instructed.
"And the letters in the middle are are 'elo'…" Cherria explained.
"And if you want to get straight to the point, spell your name." SoC instructed.
Cherria left the room for her own safety.
Cherry-sama: (hiding under a random table named Poofly) Chapter 3!
Genis: Why are you hiding under that table named Poofly?
Cherry-sama: Because, one: I can fit, and two: I need to.
Genis: Why?
Cherry-sama: Because of a big boo-boo I made…
Genis: What was it?
Zelos: (other end of the studio, and figured it out) CCCCCCCHHHHEEEEERRRRYYYY-SSSSAAAAMMMMAAA!
Cherry-sama: That's why. If you want to see what the boo-boo is, go up to Zelos and asked what happened.
Genis: …Okay…
Yggdrasill: Review while this worthless being still lives.
SoC(s): He means (glares at Yggdrasill) 'Please review…'
