I do not own Phineas and Ferb.
Enjoy!
Shawn fifth episode debuted onto television, it was a plot about Phineas and Ferb determined to do nothing.
You wouldn't have thought that the premise would be interesting, but when the song for the episode rolled around, it was nothing but feels.
The voice actor for Jeremy hadn't sung yet and it was his debut, his gentle voice matched perfectly with the music accompanied by it and the feels really came when he started singing to Candace and they both had a short duet together.
The song was sweat and parents in Japan approved of it immediately when they heard it, because it was nothing like sexual but it was kid friendly.
And because parents approved, they encourage their kids to watch the show from then on, what made it better was that kids genuinely enjoyed the show, unlike most parents, approved shows that were infamous for being boring and being nothing but a lecture.
Once that episode aired, on the next Saturday many kids just sat at home and did nothing while listening to the song or watched Phineas and Ferb reruns.
Even some adults joined in.
It wasn't long before the episode was dubbed into English for the English speakers and the singer for Jeremy was actually a well-known male artist, the song just came alive to the English-speaking audience.
English speaking parents also approved of the show when they heard the lyrics and when Kids in other languages heard it, a lot of them had their own do-nothing day.
Even kids of adults in the entertainment industry were having their own do nothing day and had their parents raising eyebrows at where they got the idea from, only to be directed to the song by their own kids.
They were stunned when they heard the gentle song and couldn't believe how good it was, for many it was their first introduction to the show that their kids loved.
One song per episode?
They had heard of that and each tv show that tried had crashed and burned because of the burnt out.
And that's when they saw the song that topped charts in several country including Japan.
Gitchi Gitchi Goo.
The song, they all thought their children was making up was actually an amazing and catchy song to listen to.
It was written by the same guy that was making their children have a do-nothing day.
Shawn.
The song got them to watch the episodes written by him and they came across the episode where the boys got their parents favorite male band back together and were left absolute shock and in awe.
A song that went through 4 genres of music fluidly.
A disco music number with hilarious gags.
A song that was so catchy that it was the best song in the episode by far.
A song that reminded them of how cheesy some of the song they loved years before were.
6 genres of music in the same episode with a plot that was heartwarming and funny.
When they finished the episode, they were left frightened by how good it was.
This was what their kids were watching!?
This was what they put in front of their children to keep them quiet!?
This was way better than it should be!
Wait a minute...
Wasn't this Shawn guy too good?
Why on earth was he writing for an animated tv show!?
Many studio heads for the first time were taking notice of what their children were watching, and decided to wait to see how things would go for this Shawn person when they heard he was a writer for a movie for the show.
He had proven that he could write four whole songs for a single episode and woven it into a story line that didn't make the songs seem out of place.
What would happen if he was given the keys to a full-length animated movie?
They all felt a shiver go down their backs.
They felt like Shawn was going to give the world the best animated movie, the world had ever seen.
#Japan#
Kotami, the company behind this universe version of the show, with the sudden increase of budget had hired experienced animated storyboard artist for the movie.
There was 15 Storyboard artist's all together and each one who ready to put a script into drawing.
Suddenly a 'female' with black hair, glasses and male clothes entered the room.
A lot thought the person was a storyboard artist and not actually Shawn, and when they saw the look of surprise, they thought the person was an amateur.
"When is the writer Shawn getting here?" said, a man. "Can you imagine, working on one of his songs? It would look good on my file. Plus, I can make a little money on the side"
"A little money on the side?" said, a woman, how could he make money on the side?
"Don't you know? This show is currently the number one, animated tv show that isn't anime in Japan right now." said, the man.
Everybody was surprised, they just heard the show had gotten good lately.
"A lot of shows would love to get their hands on the script and pay a high price for it" said, the man. "A movie takes one or two years while an episode can take 6 months or more."
"But wouldn't that ruin the movie?" said, the female, shocked that her new co-worker would do such a thing. "All that work gone down the drain if somebody does it first"
"I don't care. The price that I can sell the script for, would make me live comfortably for a few years." said, the man.
"I see" said, a male voice behind, before saying. "Your fired"
Everybody instantly turned around and saw the 'female' who had walked through the door.
"Huh?" the man said.
"I said your fired" said, the 'female', before he put on his name tag and said. "I'm Shawn. The writer of the script, you went to sell. In the contract, it is stated very clearly that if you leak it, you're getting no pay and there will be a black mark on your record"
Everybody's eyes went wide.
A black mark meant that no studio or company would ever trust the person with that mark to storyboard or animate for them.
They were finished.
"Is this some kind of a joke?" said, the man. "Shawn isn't somebody so feminine looking guy like you. He's amazing-"
Just then the president walked by.
"Oh, Shawn. How is it going?" said, the man and everybody's face turned pale.
They knew the man because he had hired them.
"Not good," Shawn said, answering the man. "President, can you call security? This man was going to leak the script and make money from it."
When the president heard that, his face turned red.
They had already spent money on hiring top singers, choir, artist, they had even hired Sho Fuwa to sing the first song and got legendary animator onto this project, even if they only did one scene.
And this man wanted to flush all that money they spent down the toilet to make money off it?
Security was quickly called and the man was soon dragged out, the man face was of shock.
Those who remained knew that the man would never work in the animated industry ever again, anime was certainly not going to take him so why should the cartoon world?
And Shawn knew this was one of the rear times that he should be thankful for his appearance, if he looked like an experienced powerful man than he would have never known about the leaker.
The president than came into the room and announced.
"Please give me your cell phones." Said, the man. "You will get them back at the end of each day. Any sheet you do, will be kept at the company and you will be searched at the end of each day. If you refuse these reasonable demands than the door is right behind me."
Silence.
Nobody dared to move because how would they explain why they were kick out of a show this big, storyboard team?
They all began to take out their phones and hand it over.
The leakage was now none existent here and the president was already hiring security for the animated workshop to check everybody as they went in and out.
"Carry, on" said, the president before leaving.
Shawn said. "Like I said before. I'm Shawn, the script writer for this movie." before he took out an envelope from his bag and began to stick the paper onto the board.
They all saw it was a pictures of each character at different angles, they could only imagine the time he spent and paper, just to print those all out.
He even printed out backgrounds that already existed in the show and artist's renderings of environments that could be used for each scene.
"Today we will be drawing 3 scenes for the movie" Shawn said. "I want you to be as expressive as possible with these characters. This isn't an episode. This is a movie, so there is a budget for it. Each of you will be assigned little sections and I want you to look at each other so what you draw connects. In the meantime, the music and audio is being done. When the storyboard is done, so should the music be and sounds. This is done so that we can start animating as quickly as possible. Any questions?"
Silence.
"Great" Shawn said, "I will be in on Thursdays and Fridays because I am still a storyboard artist for the show after all. Let me give you the first scene of the script" and then Shawn began to hand out his golden script to the artists.
When Shawn walked home, he was very aware of how cold it had gotten lately, as he saw signs of the city preparing for Christmas.
He walked into his apartment and wanted to sneeze.
He could not understand how people could enjoy this weather.
Shawn went to his letters and saw the usual letters.
And that's when saw it.
Something unusual,
A letter addressed to him fancy.
He rose an eyebrow and opened it, and read it.
To whoever receives this, congratulations!
You have been invented to the end of year Christmas Party at Lory Majestic Entertainment.
Please show this invite to the door.
And then there was a huge signature at the bottom and it was as if the person who signed it didn't think it was glamorous enough, they bedazzled it.
Shawn blinked.
Lory Majestic Entertainment?
What was that?
And then he remembered, it was the place that treated him terribly because he looked like a help.
Should he ignore it?
But more importantly how did somebody find his address?
Shawn was about to ignore it when he thought of how many important people would likely be at this party and the job opportunities it could bring.
He would love to be a writer on Recess or better yet SpongeBob, he would do the song Sweet Victory because the world deserved to hear it.
Plus, he was sure the company had learned their mistake by now, but Shawn still had no intention of accepting job offers from that company.
He could always go for a bit and then leave after a couple of hours.
Plus, his bank account was just mounting and he hadn't really spent it on anything, the suit he had was nowhere near as good of quality as somebody like Ren Tsuruga would wear.
Well, it's true what they say, if a guy outclasses you in looks than you can always outclass him in what you wear.
Shawn sat down to have his dinner, tomorrow he would go out to buy or preorder his suit.
While he thought of that, his 6th episode of the show aired, the episode featured both Candace and Venessa doing a duet together singing 'Busted'.
Just in time to make the show viewership rating compete with Anime.
When it the viewership ratings for episode was made public, studios that were doing long anticipated anime received quite the slap.
The cartoon show had broken into the anime crowd.
It was now number 5 in the nation.
And scene!
Next chapter, Shawn goes out to shop for his suit and unexpectedly runs into Ren Tsuruga with his manager getting a suit. Things get awkward, but Shawn is determined to not let Ren Tsuruga body ruin his night. Review/fav and follow!
