Sly Cooper and his pals In: The Talent Show
Bentley tested his magic, "Wand into a bouquet of flowers" trick for the twelfth time.
"Bentley, the flower trick works. We should really try to work on the harder tricks." Sly said.
"I-b-but no! We need to test it again!" Bentley said. Sly grabbed it out of Bentley's hands.
"Let's try the trick where you saw me in half." Sly said eagerly.
"Fine."
"Hey guys, you wanna hear my singing song, that I wrote?" Joshy interupted.
"No thanks Joshy we-"
"Yeah, Joshy. Get lost."
"It's your loss." Joshy said, already leaving. " I'm gonna win anyway."
"Man, that kid is weird." Bentley said.
"Seriously." Sly added.
"Hey guys!" Murray yelled, running up to Sly and Bentley. "You know what I'm doing for the talent show?"
"Let me guess," Bentley guessed. "Impressions?"
"Nope." Murray said.
"Just tell us." Sly said.
"Gym-nastics." Murray said triumphantly.
"Gymnastics?" Sly and Bentley said at the same time.
"Yep. What're you guys doing?"
"Sly and I will be performing 'magic tircks'." Bentley said, as he practiced his tricks."But the joke is on everyone."
"Why is that?"
"There's...no such thing as magic, there is only science!" Bentley said as he burst out laughing. Sly glared at him.
"Seriously, Bentely. Quit saying that. It's not funny." Sly said angrily.
"Magic i-isn't real?" Murray said on the verge of crying.
"Murray, don't listen to what Bentley says." Sly reassured. "All he talks about is science."
"But Sly!" Bentley screamed. "Science is good!"
"See what I mean? Now go practice your gymnastics."
A message then came over the intercom: "SSHHHUUUTT UUPPP!" Ms Puffin bellowed. "The talent show starts in five minutes. If you miss it, we won't feed you for a week. That is all."
"Bentley, we gotta go!" Sly said. But as he looked around, Bentley was already running to the auditorium.
"You brats better be good and entertain your friends...or else." Ms. Puffin encouraged to the talent show competitors. "If you are all as terrible as I know you will be, I get the grand prize."
The show opened with Roger telling jokes.
"So...uh...what...um..did you-hear...the one...about..." He ran off the stage. The crowd could hear Ms. Puffin laughing, a horrible sound.
Next up was some kid named Benny, who tried to jump from one platform to another, and ended up with a cracked rib. After him was Joshy.
"Ahem..." Joshy said as he tested his notes. As he did, one of the lamps from above fell down and fell on his toes.
"OOWW!" Joshy screamed as he ran forward. He fell off the stage and landed in a pile of empty chairs. He gingerly got up, fell over again, and crawled out of the auditorium. Ms. Puffin walked from the control room with an evil grin on her face.
"Poor Joshy." Bentley said.
"Shh Bentley, Murray's starting!" Sly yelled.
Bentley looked on stage as Murray walked out. He threw a mat onto the floor, causing the dust on stage to float up into the air. He grunted as he executed a graceful somersault and crashed through the stage. The crowd was completely silent for a few moments, but then burst out laughing.. The curtain abruptly closed on the stage. After all of this it was time for Sly and Bentley's act. They ran out on the stage they had, avoiding the gaping hole. The curtains parted.
"L-ladies and gentlemen!" Bentley stuttered. "I am the Great Bezendo! Th-this is my assistant, Sly." A few people in the crowd clapped. Sly walked up to the front of the stage, but said nothing, only staring at the crowd with wide eyes and a blank expression on his face.
"Have you ever seen a wand turn into a bouquet of flowers?" Bentley asked quietly. A few people in the crowd clapped and some screamed "YES" and "NO". Bentley fumbled the wand out of his pocket, and dropped it and it turned into a fake flower. A little less people clapped.
Sly turned to Bentley. "Saw me in half!" Sly yelled, half looking at the audience.
"Uh-okay." Bentley replied. He walked over to Sly and wheeled out a box, which was about four feet long. Sly stepped inside it.
"If he accidentally dies, you d-didn't see anything. Heh-heh." Bentley said as he picked up a saw. No one in the crowd laughed at his lame joke. Just before Bentley could saw Sly in half, the magic box, gave way and broke in half. Sly crawled out and looked at the crowd.
"Uh..." Sly ran off the stage leaving Bentley all by himself.
"So...did you hear the one about..." Bentley ran off the stage also before he could tell another awful joke. Once he met up with Sly, they both ran back to their dorms. Meanwhile, Ms. Puffin walked out on stage.
"Normally I would give the trophy to myself in a situation like this but one of the performances was far too funny not to recognize." she said to the crowd."The winner of the Happy Camper Orphange Talent Show is...Murray."
Murray head his name and climbed out of the hole he fell in and Ms. Puffin handed him a card.
"Congratulations, you win a 5-percent deal at John's Video, but that's too bad beacuse we are never going there."
"ALRIGHT!" Murray yelled.
