Cinderella: Where the Heart Belongs Behind the Scenes, Bloopers, and Extras
It's the after party and everyone was eating and drinking the food Crystalmaiden62 summoned.
Crystal: My friends, we have finished our first ever Random Theatre. I'd like to thank Aerith the Evenstar for this wonderful story so the next story is my turn.
Aerith: Yep, so here's to a job well done everyone. (She raised her bottle of Ramune)
Crystal: And let is pray Disney doesn't hunt us down.
Valerie: So when are we going to see the behind the scenes stuff?
Aerith: Right now actually. Crystal installed cameras around the theatre and put this all together.
Crystal: And no, the cameras aren't in the dressing room, N.
N: I didn't say anything.
Crystal: That's why. Anyway, because there's so much to add like a little extra in the end as well as the bloopers, there will only be 4 behind the scene moments that'll be shown. So, on to the disclaimers!
Disclaimers: We don't own Cinderella, The cast of Transformers Armada, or N and Ventus.
Crystal: I only own, Anna, Blair, Alyss, and myself.
Aerith: And I only own Valerie, Astera, Silverbolt, Drake, and myself.
Crystal: Hope you enjoy this.
In the random theatre, the cast of To Dance Among the Skies as well as a few characters from Crystalmaiden62's stories was getting ready for a new theatrical production by Aerith The Evenstar and Crystalmaiden62 in their version of Cinderella. It was a play of strange feelings for some of the TDATS cast. They didn't think Aerith and Crystal would work together on another fairytales related theme for them other than the Swan Princess movies let alone a Disney film. Three of the cast members weren't surprised by this one bit.
"This would've happened eventually." Blair, from Alone in Unova and A Bizarre Adventure, said to the cast. "I'm sure Crystal's been thinking about stuff like this for years. I just barely escaped a fanfic for my story with a Disney plot and instead got a picture." The whole cast were gathered in the lounge room of theatre which had to be modified for the transformers in the cast. They were busy waiting for Aerith and Crystal, who was making sure everything, was ready before telling the cast members.
"But how did this even start?" Alexis asked looking at the humans and transformers around her.
"I'm not sure but we can all guess who the villain might be." Anna, from Unlock the Heart, said as everyone looked to Alyss who was sitting next to Sideways and Drake.
"What?"
"This is Cinderella, the only villain is that annoying lady." Anna pointed out as some of the boys nodded.
"Then why the hell is he here?" Alyss asked pointed her thumb at Sideways.
"By the way, why did Crystal ask you two to come?" Valerie asked, looking to the two other OC characters.
"No idea, I don't know where N is though." Blair said with a shrug.
"I think Ven's on break to be left to the yaoi fans or something. I sure hope he'll be okay when we get back to editing the story." Anna said, worrying for the naive blonde.
"Doesn't N have to deal with yaoi fan-girls?" Astera asked Blair as she shrugged.
"Yeah well, Ghetsis keeps him secured when the chapter ends or hides from the fan-girls; they're scary." Blair said, with a shudder. "By the way, how do you know about yaoi anyway, Astera?" The question was never answered as Aerith and Crystal came into the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm glad to see you're all ready." Aerith said as Crystal handed out the scripts to everyone leaving two for the two writers.
"I'm sure you all got my email, asking you to watch Disney's Cinderella the cartoon version." Crystal said as she and Aerith took their seats.
"Well we tried but Cyclonus kept shooting the screen after a while." Demolisher answered as the Decepticons eyed the helicopter transformer.
"Well as long as you know the mice scenes then it's okay." Crystal said, waving it off but wondering how many TVs Cyclonus destroyed before this.
"Anyway, of course, we've placed who is who on the front of your copy of the script after looking at your characters and what might fit." Aerith said as Valerie raised her hand. "Yes?"
"Why is Crystal the fairy godmother? I thought she was helping you with this."
"Oh she is but she volunteered to help out in the cast too."
"Besides, it was either me, one of the transformers or N. And I don't think the guys are willing to put on a dress. Though N can pull it off." Crystal said with a shrug. "Besides, it'll be fun."
"Wait, N knows about this?" Blair asked.
"Yes, he and Ven are working on costumes duty." Crystal said as her two OCs looked at each other in shock. "They'll be coming later. N and Ventus were running from the fan girls and they needed a place to stay safe from them. And when N found out you'd be here he jumped at the chance." Blair sighed and slumped slights as Valerie placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Now, because of the fact that there's another Disney Cinderella we may have another addition of the cast."
"Really, who?" Astera asked.
"Well, you're gonna have to wait. Just practice your lines; we'll be back in an hour." Crystal said before dragging Aerith out of the room.
"Should we get started?" Hoist asked, looking at everyone.
"Sure, why not?" So the cast started and they hit a snag. Anna can't act mean to someone who doesn't deserve it.
"I'm sorry!" Anna cried as Valerie placed a comforting had on her shoulder.
"It's okay, it's just a role." Valerie cooed as Astera went to help.
"How are you able to handle it, Blair?" Alyss asked, looking at the other OC. "You're the heroine of your story too."
"Have you seen chapter five of 'Alone in Unova'? I get mean when I'm angry." Blair pointed out, looking proud. "Besides, I'm basing this role off of Ghetsis as well as a few other Team Plasma grunts so I'm good."
"That makes sense." Jetfire said as Drake walked up to Anna.
"Don't worry, if you'd like I can help you act mean." Everyone just stared at him when he said this. "What, I barely got any lines in TDATS and I was made out to be a jerk in Time in Between."
"Still..." Hot Shot muttered as Sideways stepped up.
"Come on." He picked up Anna by the arm and dragged her off with Drake following behind.
"Now I'm worried." Blair whimpered, seeing this happen.
"Should we do something?" Sideswipe asked, looking to Optimus.
"Aerith and Crystal are in that direction. They should stop them on their way."
"What's going on?" They looked to see Aerith and Crystal in the doorway coming from a different direction than where Sideways took Anna.
"Sideways took Anna away." Hot Shot said bluntly.
"WHAT?" Crystal screamed. "Oh god! We need help! Who knows what he'll do to her!"
"Crystal, calm down. I got this." Aerith said, taking out her cell phone. "Hey, it's me. Do you think you can get someone for me….. You got her?... That's good, bring her to the lounge room at once." Aerith put her phone away and smiled. "There, problem solved."
"Aerith… what did you do?" Scavenger asked, a little concerned.
"Oh, I phoned a friend." Aerith said as a certain transformer came carrying Anna in his hand.
"Silverbolt!" Astera cheered, running to her husband and he nearly dropped Anna.
"Dad, what you doing here?" Jetfire asked, shocked to see his father had returned from the well of all sparks.
"Oh, Aerith called in a little and I used my handy magic iTouch to fish him out." Crystal said, happily.
"Yeah, but why is he here?" Valerie asked, just as shocked as her sparkmate.
"Oh, Silverbolt is the guest star in the Cinderella story." Aerith said to Astera's delight with that, rehearsals began.
The very next day, laser shots can be heard through the theatre from the medic room. The first person on the scene was Crystalmaiden62, who looked scared at the sudden noise.
"Red Alert! What's going on?" Crystal yelled over the noise to see Hot Shot, Red Alert, Blurr, and Sideswipe trying to restrain Demolisher and Cyclonus who looked really angry.
"It's these two, they don't want to put the chip inside them!" Hot Shot yelled, trying to keep his grip on the helicopter transformers, who glared down at the fanfiction writer.
"Come on guys! It's not that bad! It doesn't even hurt!" Sideswipe yelled at the two Decepticons, as they continued to struggle.
"Why do we even need to put these chips in us anyway?" Demolisher asked, looking very disgruntled. "It was bad enough to get those chips in us during Swan's Love and Time in Between but this is even worse."
"Why do we have to listen to you anyway?" Cyclonus asked, ripping his servo from Blurr's hold and pointed his blaster at Crystal. "We don't need to listen to a simple human."
"Oh really? You think I'm just a simple human?" Crystal said, taking out her Ipod Touch. "You'd better think again when I beat the living crap outta you!"
"Bring it on, fleshy!"
"What's going on here?" Aerith the Evenstar screamed, with Blair, Anna, Valerie, and Jetfire with her.
"This is getting out of control!" Blurr yelled as the flipped a table to make a small barrier near the door to protect the human cast members.
"What's Crystal thinking? She can't take on two transformers by herself." Red Alert asked as Blair sighed.
"You never want to mess with Crystal when she's mad. Where do you think my angry side came from?" Blair pointed out as Anna stared at her fellow OC.
"Then why didn't she fight back when you were throwing daggers at her earlier?"
"She had nothing against me, beside I think she understood why I was so upset and let me burn it off."
"We need to stop them before they destroy the medic ward!" Valerie screamed, notice the destruction caused by the three fighting.
"Let them fight." Everyone jumped to see Sideways standing behind them, with a look of amusement as he watched the writer and the two Decepticons fighting.
"When the hell did you get here?" Aerith asked, really he didn't even make a sound.
"Just now and I'm happy for it." He said pulling out a big human size mallet.
"Sideways, what are you planning to do with that?" Jetfire asked, concerned now.
"Nothing."
"Yeah right." Everyone groaned before jumping at a sudden scream. They looked to see Crystal holding the pieces of her Ipod Touch as Cyclonus laughed.
"See, you can't beat a Decepticon!
"You destroyed my Ipod Touch." Crystal muttered, in a low growl that turned her OCs pale. "You killed my magic Ipod Touch."
"Run for it!" Anna screamed but Sideways stopped the pair of OCs from running. "Let go, we have to get somewhere safe!"
"What's so bad about this?" Jetfire asked, surprise to seeing the fear on Blair's face.
"You never mess with Crystal's Ipod Touch! If you do, I hope you have a hole waiting for you!" Blair yelled as she and Anna got out of Sideways's grip and ran as fast as they could away from the medic room.
"Here." Sideways handed Crystal the mallet, which she took with a dark look in her eyes.
"Crystal?" Aerith asked but Crystal didn't seem to hear her.
"For my Ipod Touch, die you bastards!" Crystal screamed her battle cry and soon the theatre was filled with Demolisher and Cyclonus's screams as well as the smashing of metal on the mallet. After two hours of this fight as well as restraining Crystal, the two Decepticons were sent for treatment as well as getting the chips installed.
"Sorry about that." Crystal said sheepishly as Aerith sighed.
"Did you really have to do that? You nearly destroyed the medic ward."
"I know, and I'm sorry. Plus," Crystal said, taking out a brand new Ipod Touch from her pocket, "I got a new one so I'm good."
"You mean, you did that fight for nothing?" Aerith asked as Crystal shrugged.
"We still needed it anyway, how else would we get our props for cheap?"
"Good point." Aerith said with a nod. "From now on we need Cyclonus to stop bringing his blaster to the theatre from now on."
"Agreed." Crystal said, with a sigh. "I think you should tell Cyclonus that. He already wants me gone.
"Okay…" Aerith whimpered and went to tell Cyclonus. No practice could be done that day as Cyclonus went wild before the transformers could take away his blaster and Crystal started making a bomb shelter just in case something like this happened again.
It's been a month now since the theatre has been practicing the Cinderella play and everything is falling into place. Still, one person still has a question for another cast member. Blair still never got her answer for Astera.
"Hey Crystal, have you seen Astera?" Blair asked as Crystal played with her top hat.
"Hm, I think she's in the lounge room with Silverbolt." Crystal said but looked serious. "And please don't ask Astera about yaoi."
"How did you…"
"I know you're curious but really, I don't think you need to bring back the pain she's been going through right now." Crystal said with a sigh. "Mainly because I caused this problem in the first place by accident."
"What?" But Crystal walked off before Blair could stop her.
"Blair!" She turned and looked up to see Jetfire. "Have you seen my mom?"
"I heard she's in the lounge room, why?"
"My mom's been acting weird lately. She can't speak to me properly when we're not on stage." Jetfire said looking worried. "I think Crystal had something to do with it."
"Crystal? How does that make sense?"
"Mom's been acting weird ever since she went to talk Crystal a month ago." Jetfire pointed out as Blair thought for a minute.
"That's when you're mom mentioned yaoi for the first time. Do you think Crystal mentioned yaoi to her?"
"If she did, she's got a lot of explaining to do." Jetfire growled as Blair stared up at the shuttle transformer.
"Okay…. I'm a little worried about you buddy." Blair said as she walked to the lounge room.
"Come on." Jetfire scooped Blair up into his hands.
"Hey, put me down!"
"It's fast this way." Jetfire said as he walked to the lounge room. When they got there, they saw Astera and Silverbolt cuddling. "Um…" The two transformers looked at their son and Blair in shock.
"Jetfire, what are you doing here?" Astera asked, recovering.
"Oh, nothing." Jetfire said, calmly but a little embarrassed to drop in on his parents like that. But Blair, not really wanting to miss her chance on asking her question, spoke.
"I wanna know how you even know about yaoi, Astera." Blair ordered and a surprising reaction came from the female transformers. She gave a slight shriek and held onto Silverbolt tightly.
"Please, get that image out of my processor! I don't want to see my son in a yaoi pairing!"
"WHAT!" Jetfire screamed, shock etched onto his face under the mask. "Why would you even think that mom?"
"Its kind of my fault." They looked down to see Crystal standing there, with a sheepish smile on her face.
"You see son, your mother discovered YouTube and saw the term yaoi. Not really wanting to find out what it really meant, she went to Crystal for answers." Silverbolt said, comforting his wife.
"And I wasn't there but I left out my doujinshi on my desk and she took it." Crystal said, blushing in embarrassment. "Needless to say my Duo X Heero doujinshi was a bit much for her."
"YOU LEFT THAT STUFF OUT IN THE OPEN?" Blair screamed at her creator before jumping down to smack her over the head. "HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?"
"I'm sorry!" Crystal cried as Jetfire glared down at the writer.
"When this is all over, those doujinshis are going." Jetfire said as Crystal sighed in defeat.
"Okay I get that but your mom learned yaoi on her own." Crystal pointed out but that still left one last question.
"But why have you been acting so weird with me lately, Mom?" Jetfire asked.
"That's my fault this time." Aerith the Evenstar said, appearing in the doorway with a blindfold on for some reason.
"You can take it off, Aerith. It's safe." Crystal said as Aerith sighed in relief.
"Oh thank god." Aerith said, as Jetfire and Blair looked confused.
"What the hell is going on here? What are we missing?" Blair asked, looking extremely annoyed and confused.
"Well, Astera went to ask me who were Heero and Duo and I kind of let slip Scott McNeil also voice Duo."
"Slip? You cheered it." Crystal said as Jetfire looked extremely shocked and horrified.
"Scott McNeil, as in the one from that Chinese Ghost Story movie?"
"Yep." The two writers said as Astera look close to sobbing.
"I asked Crystal to lend me her Gundam Wing DVD sent to I can listen to what Duo sounded like and he sounds just like you when you were a sparkling! I don't want to see my son doing that with another mech!"
"Don't worry, you'll be alright." Silverbolt soothed his wife.
"And how were you planning to fix this mess?" Blair asked as Crystal and Aerith turned a little pale.
"Well, Silverbolt was going to do that in the only way possible." Crystal said weakly as Jetfire looked almost sick and disturbed.
"You don't mean…"
"When you leave, please lock the door and if you hear anything in this room don't worry." Astera said as she began to cuddle with her husband again right in front of them and Aerith covered her eyes, Crystal looked away, and Blair ran out of the room screaming.
"MOM!" Jetfire screamed before leaving the room.
"Jetfire! Where are you going?" Aerith asked, concerned.
"To look for something." The two writers looked at each other and shrugged and went through the day normally. Later though, Crystal's scream filled back stage and Aerith was the first on the scene.
"Crystal, what's wrong?"
"My doujinshi is missing!" She cried before they looked at each other.
"You don't think…"
"He must've…" Meanwhile Jetfire walked into the darkest part of Random Theatre.
"Why did you want to meet here?" Sideways appeared from the shadows.
"I wouldn't normally ask you for help but only you can handle this." Jetfire whispered, handing Sideways a tiny package.
"What is this?"
"Something that Crystal should've never had." Jetfire said firmly.
"What?"
"Just hide it, if you look into what it is, you'll see you're involved with this too." Jetfire said as Sideways stared.
"Really, what is this?"
"It's yaoi." Sideways was silent for a second before taking it.
"I'll keep this hidden where no one will find it."
"And we'll never speak of this meeting again." Jetfire said as the villain nodded. So from then on, Crystal spent most of her time looking for the doujinshi but even Jetfire never knew where the evil transformer put the evil fan comic.
"Okay, that's it people! We've done it!" Crystal cheered as the cast cheered too, looking happy to finish a whole dress rehearsal without a hitch.
"Crystal." She turned to see Sideways towering over her. "I need a word with you."
"Sure." Crystal said, her magic Ipod Touch at the ready behind her back.
"Why does it say I nearly get eaten by a baby bird?" Sideways asked.
"Because it's gonna happen!" Crystal aimed her Ipod at the evil transformer and turned him into a tiny earthworm.
"What the slag? Change me back now!" Sideways screamed, his voice turned squeaky due to his change in size.
"Sorry but I really don't like you." Crystal said, summoning a nest of baby birds and levitated Sideways over the baby birds. "Now, tell me where you hid my doujinshi!"
"Never, yaoi is the only chaos that should never exist in this universe!" Sideways screamed in his high-pitched voice.
"Tell me or you're bird food!"
"Never!" Sideways screamed.
"Fine, I hope you like birds!" Crystal cackled as she lowered Sideways slowly to his doom.
"Wait!" Crystal looked up to see Aerith, Valerie, and Anna looking shocked.
"You can't kill him!" Valerie cried as Crystal raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you defending him? He tortures you in To Dance Among the Skies."
"Yeah but don't you think this a bit much even for him?" Valerie asked with a shrug.
"Yes, well he's not cooperating right now."
"But I need him to continue my story." Aerith argued, looking serious. "We're heading to the major parts with him. At least keep him alive for a little while longer, then you can do whatever you want to him."
"Okay."
"Hey!" Sideways yelled, a little annoyed by this.
"We need Sideways alive fro a long time!" Anna yelled and the girls stared at her. "We do need him for the next production after all."
"How do you even know about the next production anyway?" Aerith asked, confused.
"I heard you guys a while ago." Anna said as Crystal sighed in defeat.
"You're right." Crystal said, removing the baby birds and returning Sideways to normal. "You're lucky we need you."
"Oh don't worry, you'll regret keeping me alive. I swear I'll offline you in the next production." Sideways growled before walking away.
"Do you think Sideways will keep his word?" Valerie asked as Crystal shrugged.
"Right now, let's just rest up for tomorrow's performance."
"Right." The four girls left, not aware of Sideways beginning to plot the writer's demise before finding a small stack of paper and when he looked at it, his eyes gleamed.
"You will surely offline the during the next production, Crystalmaiden62."
The room was silent at these words.
Hot Shot: Aren't you worried, Crystal?
Crystal: Nah, I've got to many things on my mind to worry.
Blurr: I wouldn't be if I were you.
Aerith: Anyway, next if the bloopers from our rehearsals.
Once upon a time, there was a peaceful kingdom that was prosperous that followed the ways of tradition and romance. Within that kingdom was a grand manor...
"Cut!" Aerith screamed as Crystal ran to the microphone.
"Okay, who spilled oil on the book set?" Crystal asked as someone threw Cyclonus on stage. "You did this?"
"What, my polishing rag spilled." Cyclonus shrugged. Crystal glared at Cyclonus before looking to Aerith.
"Please, can I do it early?"
"Yes, please." Crystal pointed her magic Ipod at Cyclonus and he shrunk to the size of a hamster.
"Hey, change me back!" Cyclonus screamed, shooting at Crystal's feet and she ran as to not get her shoes on fire. Aerith sighed and got up to help her fellow fanfiction writer.
Everything was so surreal, as if the area around her was covered in mist. She wasn't sure what to make of this, but then someone suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn't make out any features except for their silhouette and glowing orange-red eyes... wait, orange-red...
"Hold it! Tidal Wave cut the fog machine! Starscream what are you doing on stage?" Crystal asked as the mist lifted and there stood Starscream.
"I got lost, I was told this was the men's dressing room."
"Who told you that?" Aerith asked but Starscream turned away.
"Nevermind." With that the Decepticon left the stage and the two writers looked at each other.
"Who do you think told him that?" Aerith's question was answered by a scream from Cyclonus.
"Guess it's Cyclonus, again."
"A lot of things have been happening to Cyclonus recently."
"Would you mind. . . stepping out of the room for a bit?"
They seemed to realize what she meant before they left the room by crawling underneath the closed door. Instantly, Valerie dashed off stage to an awaiting Astera who had her costume ready.
"Quick, hurry." Astera whispered as Valerie took off her nightgown. She had made to grab her maid outfit, the side door opened and they looked to see Sideways standing in the doorway. The whole theatre heard Valerie scream and Jetfire came running to see Sideways staring at Valerie, who was half naked.
"Why you..." Before Jetfire could do any damage, Optimus and Silverbolt came and dragged Jetfire and Sideways away from each other as Astera tried to calm Valerie down. Aerith and Crystal ran by to see Sideways being dragged away while Silverbolt lectured his son.
"Should we ask?"
"I think not."
"I can't stand Thrust." Starscream whispered lowly to her so that the mentioned Transformer wouldn't hear them as they continued to prepare breakfast.
"I know." Valerie whispered. "But we just have to deal with it and continue working until..." She trailed off.
"Until what? I jab his spark out with this pitch fork?"
"CUT! Starscream, where on Earth did you get a pitch fork?" Aerith asked, looking shocked at the weapon in Starscream's hand. Beside her, Crystal tried to signal Starscream but he continued.
"Crystal said she'd give me high quality Energon if I stake Thrust with this. Besides, I want to get rid of this pathetic virus." Thrust glared at Crystal and she jumped. The whole theatre hearing her scream as she ran for her life as Thrust tried to shoot her.
"Good morning, Blair-"
"Leave us alone." Though Blair didn't say that line and Blair wasn't alone in the bed. Blair screamed and instantly kicked a happy yet hurt N in the chest before running off.
"Fine I'll agree to it." Jetfire then turned to Silverbolt and Astera. "But just this once! And if I don't find my sparkmate tonight, I'll personally go out and search myself, even if I have to change my color scheme or alt-mode! Starting tomorrow!
"Deal!" Silverbolt said and held out a servo to his son...
"THE PRINCE IS GIVING A BALL!" Everyone jumped and Megatron glared at the director/ Fairy God sister.
"Crystal, what do you think you're doing?"
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Crystal said, shrugging with a sheepish smile.
"The pear-shaped toes." Alyss said in a sing-song voice. Alyss and Drake and Blair started playing their instruments . . . but booming music suddenly started making everyone on stage and Aerith and Crystal jumped.
"What the hell? That sound like..." Crystal, looking through her pockets and glared. "SOMEONE TOOK MY IPOD!" She looked to see Hot Shot with her Ipod connected to a speaker. Crystal instantly jumped to attack the thief who stole her magic Ipod as Aerith runs after her.
"Remember, Crystal! We need him alive!"
She smiled down... suddenly a look of confusion and horror crossed her face.
"Valerie, what's wrong?" Aerith asked, everyone looking confused at this.
"What is this?" Valerie ask, pulling out what looked like...
"Oh." Crystal, got up and took the thing in Valerie's hands. "This is Megatron's speedo."
"They make speedos for transformers?"
"Now they do."
"Okay, something that'll look nice... and match your eyes."
"Why my eyes?" Valerie asked.
"Don't ask, it's part of the script. But if you want, I can make you wear this." Crystal pressed an app on her Ipod and Valerie was in a hot pink dress that was short, showing more of her legs.
"Valerie!" Someone threw a script at Crystal. "That wasn't in the script!" Jetfire shouted at her.
"I'm Blair." With that they both ended up dancing and soon started moving off stage.
"Um, where are they going?" Aerith asked, as Crystal shrug and everyone stopped as Blair screamed and ran on stage as N looked shocked.
"N, what did you do?" Anna asked, walking up to the confused green haired man.
"I tried kissing her."
Valerie managed to pull her hand away and started running toward the stairs when N came out of nowhere and bumped into Valerie.
"Cut! N what are you doing?" Aerith asked.
"I'm looking for Blair, have you seen her?"
"That's it, someone get Blair for N!"
'Wherever you are…' She thought, 'thank you, Crystal'
"You're welcome!" They looked up to see Crystal on a swing in front of the moon.
"Crystal, what are you doing?" Hot Shot asked, a look similar to being smacked in a face with a frying pan on everyone faces.
"Oh, I've always wanted to do this."
"Get out!"
Alyss went to wake up Blair only to see Blair wasn't there.
"Um… Aerith, Crystal. Blair isn't here."
"What, where is she?" Aerith asked as Crystal climbed into the stage and looked at the bed to see a letter.
"I've taken Blair for the day. N."
"We really need to keep those two together from now on." Aerith sighed as Crystal nodded.
Valerie got to her room and jumped to see Blair hiding under her bed.
"Cut! Blair what are you doing?"
"Hiding from N."
~
"Valerie! Look out!"
Valerie looked down to find both Demolishor and Cyclonus standing on her mirror stand, unaware of the fact that Sideways was slowly opening the door that led out of her room.
"What's wrong?" She asked, but when she looked up at the mirror her eyes widened when she saw Sideways' reflection just as he was using a key to lock the door from the inside. She gasped as she quickly turned around in shock and tried to stop her stepfather, but N suddenly appeared.
"Blair!"
"Shit!" Blair jumped and ran out and locked the door before running off stage with the key.
"Well at least she locked the door." Sideways said, quietly.
"Yeah but we still need the key to continue." Aerith sighed as N looked excited.
"I'll go get it!" N cheered, running after his object of his affections.
"Let's cut for today."
"I finally caught one of you troublesome cretins! Four years I have waited for this day to come!" Thrust exclaimed.
"Not so fast hell spawn!" He turned to see Crystal with the rest of the Decepticons.
"Crystal, what are you doing?" Aerith yelled.
"It's Thrust Hunting season." Starscream said, his pitchfork at the ready.
"Charge!" Crystal screamed and she let the chase.
"I'm not gonna bother." Aerith sighed.
"But since we're almost to the palace you'll learn more than just me being a prince and meet my father and mother." Jetfire said, looking happy.
"Someone wants you
You know who
Now you're living
There's music in you"
"Crystal!" Aerith yelled, as Tidal Wave grabbed the writer who pulled her Ipod to a speaker.
"What, it's Whitney Huston!" Crystal cried. "I loved it when she did the Fair Godmother!" Aerith stared at Crystal and sighed.
"Fine, I liked her too in that role. So in memory of her, this is okay."
"Yay!"
Crystal: Well hope you liked the bloopers.
Aerith: Seriously, N. You need to control yourself.
N: Sorry.
Crystal: Anyway, we have a real treat for the readers. I have come up with a little idea for how to preview the next production.
Aerith: The cast will sing two songs from two Disney films will be using for the next production that Crystalmaiden62 will write.
Crystal: So who's willing to go first.
Megatron: I will.
(silence)
Aerith:…You sing?
Megatron: You seem surprised?
Valerie: Who wouldn't?
Megatron: This song is just a way to get my feelings out and a few other things.
Crystal: Okay, so which song will you be singing?
Megatron: Be Prepared.
Aerith:… Okay, that works. Roll it Crystal!
Crystal: Right! (plugs in her Ipod and the music starts)
Megatron: I never thought these Decepticons essential
They're crude but unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
if allied to my vision and brain.
Crystal: Bring out the popcorn!
Megatron: I know that your powers of pretension
are as wet as Unicron's backside.
but thick as you are PAY ATTENTION!
my words are a matter of pride
it's clear from you vacant expression
the lights are not all on upstairs
but we're talking domination and supremacy
even you can't be caught unawares
(Cyclonus, Demolisher, and Wheeljack are thrown on stage by Tidal Wave)
Megatron: So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
be prepared for sensational news
a shining new era is tiptoeing nearer
Cyclonus: And where do we feature?
Megatron: Just listen to leader
I know it sounds sordid
but you'll be rewarded
when at least I'll given my dues
and injustice deliciously squared
be prepared!
Wheeljack: Yeah, be prepared. we'll be prepared
for what?
Megatron: For the death of the writers.
Crystal and Aerith: What?
Wheeljack: What are they sick? They're right there.
Megatron: No you insolent fool. We're going to kill them.
Wheeljack: Great idea, but why.
Megatron: Idiots, from now on I'll write the stories.
Crystal: WHAT?
(Aerith holds Crystal back)
Aerith: Now Crystal, I'm sure he's just joking. Hopefully...
Demolisher: Um sir, you can't write.
Megatron: Nonsense, stick with me and the universe will be ours!
Anna: Why do I get the feeling Vanitas and Master Xehanort won't like this?
Crystal: You and me both.
Aerith: Same here.
Demolisher, Wheeljack and Cyclonus: Yes
Long live the writer!
Crystal: this is bad.
Blair: You think?
Valerie: At least Sideways isn't here.
Aerith: It'd be just as bad if he was here.
Demolisher, Wheeljack, Cyclonus, Thrust, and Starscream:
It's great that we'll soon be connected
with a writer who'll be all timed adored
Crystal: Okay, that hurt.
Aerith: Me too.
Jetfire: Why is Thrust up there with them?
Hot Shot: Don't know, don't care.
Megatron: Of course with pro quo you're expected
to take certain duties on board
the future is littered with prizes
and though I main addressee
the point that I must emphasize is
(pulls out the requiem blaster)
YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!
Crystal: DUCK AND COVER! MEGATRON IS PACKING!
Aerith: RUN AWAY! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Megatron: So prepare for the coup of the millennium
be prepared for the darkest space
meticulous planning
tenacity spanning
decades of denial is simply why I'll
be a writer disputed, respected, saluted
and seen for the wonder I am!
Yes my guns and ambitious are ready
be prepared!
Decepticons: Yes our guns and ambitious are ready
Everyone: Be prepared!
Crystal: Should we be scared?
Aerith: Yeah… so this one is of course the Lion King.
Hot Shot: So who's gonna sing the last song?
?: I will. (Everyone turned to see Sideways)
Optimus: You're going to sing?
Sideways: Yes, I have found the prefect Disney song for me.
Valerie: Jetfire…..
Jetfire: Don't worry, we're all scared.
Crystal:…So which song will you sing?
Sideways: Poor Unfortunate Souls.
Crystal: Um… Okay? Are you sure you want to do this? You can do a different villain song.
Sideways: Oh, don't fret. I'll enjoy this.
Crystal: That's what I'm worried about.
(Tidal Wave throws a tied up Jetfire onto the stage as Sideways kneels to him as the music started)
Sideways: Helping others is what I love to do.
To help, unfortunate transformers like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
Crystal: Why am I suddenly scared?
Blair: Valerie, are you alright?
Valerie:…..
Sideways: I admit at present I'm a nasty
I won't deny that I've been called the devil
But you'll find in my spare time
I mend my evil ways
Repent and seen a light and made a switch to this
Carlos: That's even scarier!
Sideways: And I fortunately have some Energon
It's a gift that I've always have possessed
And my dear mech please don't laugh
I used it on behalf, on the miserable, lonely, and depressed
Pathetic!
Hot Shot: Whoa! What's with the loud note!
Crystal: HE'S GOING THE BROADWAY VERSION! HOLY F***!
Sideways: Poor Unfortunate Souls
In pain, in need!
This one Longing to be stronger, that one wants to kill Optimus
And do I help them?
Yes I do.
Starscream and Megatron: No you didn't.
Sideways: Those Poor Unfortunate Souls!
So sad, so true!
They come flocking to me crying
'Energon, Sideways please!'
And do I help them?
Yes I do!
Aerith: he's enjoying this way too much.
Anna: Well, it's either this or Hellfire I'm guessing.
Blair: You shouldn't have said that. (Valerie faints and Jetfire struggles on the floor)
Sideways: Now it happened once or twice.
Transformers: Yeah Right!
Sideways: Someone couldn't pay the price and
I'm afraid I had to rack them across the coals
Yes, I have the odd coplaint.
N: Just one? I count more.
Sideways: But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls!
Wheeljack: If he's a saint, then I'm Santa Christ.
Sideways: Now here's my offer baby kins!
Aerith: Oh my god! Make him stop!
Crystal: I can't, he took my Ipod! That's how he knows this version!
Sideways: I have an Energon that can turn you into a human for three days.
Now, it's got some conditions. Just think of it as the code of the Decepticons.
Jetfire: That's not comforting!
Sideways: Shut up. Now before the sun sets on the third day. You've got to get Valerie there to kiss you. If she ever wakes up. If you do, you'll stay human forever.
Jetfire: I do have a holoform, you know.
Sideways: Shut up. Oh look small print. You'll be mine forever. Doomed to do my bidding for all eternity. The Decepticon code does suck.
Megatron: What did you say? (Readies his blaster)
Sideways: But of course, I'll be needing something in return.
Jetfire: No way, I don't have anything to give you.
Sideways: You really don't know this story, do you? I'm gonna get it whether you like it or not.
Jetfire: What do you want with my voice?
Crystal: Well you do have the voice of Scott McNeil.
Aerith: Good point.
Jetfire: But without my voice, how will I…
Sideways: You can write, you've got looks, and don't let your desires be stopped!
Blair: Okay, Valerie isn't gonna wake up anytime soon.
Sideways: Women don't like a lot of blabber
They think a man who gossips is annoying.
Crystal: I don't have anything to say to that.
Sideways: So on Earth it's not preferred for a man not to say a word
And after all man, who am I to prattle for.
Come on you poor unfortunate soul!
Go head make your choice
I'm a very busy mech and I haven't got all day.
It won't cost much, just your voice.
You poor unfortunate soul. It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge mister, you've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
Go ahead and sign the scroll.
Thrust, Starscream now I got him boys
The boss is on a roll!
This poor unfortunate soul!
Everyone:…
Crystal: I'm very afraid.
Aerith: Me too.
Crystal: So that was the Little Mermaid song. Well, now it's time to guess which of these two I'll write for Random Theatre.
Aerith: I'd like to say thanks to Crystalmaiden62 here for writing the behind the scenes bits, the bloopers, and of course these little song bits.
Crystal: So next time, join us next time when we produce another story and you can post your guesses via review.
Aerith: And as a present to the fans, Crystal will have another Disney song thing at the beginning of the next story that will surely make you laugh.
Aerith and Crystal: See you soon.
