"But Angel, I want to film stuff!"
"No, no, Mark, honey, you have to have a liscense to do it on school property. Remember the drug bust incident?"
Mark and Angel were wandering around the school trying to avoid detection, which is rather difficult when you are a young, good-looking film-maker filming everything that moves and some things that don't and a 6-foot drag queen. They tried getting something to eat in the cafe, but the lady was throwing muffins everywhere so they thought it would be best for their health if they stayed out.
Suddenley, they heard a noise coming from inside the gym!!!
It was the cheerleaders, doing a last-minute during-the-day practice in a desperate bid to get the routine just right.
"Come on everybody!" said Jewel Clockly. "Let's get this routine right! Step to the right, left, center, NO! To the left, people, to the left!"
"Excuse me!" said Angel, approaching them- to Mark's utter horror. "I think I can help you."
"Thank God." said Jewel. "We have to cheer at a game tonight and something just isn't right. I don't quite know what it is..."
"I like your shoes." said one girl.
"Thanks." said Angel. "Payless."
"Ahemm! Everyone, can we focus please!" said Jewel, getting agitated.
"Ok." said Angel. "Well, the first thing that's wrong is your music. Music is the food of love and emotion, you know, you gotta pick it right." She flipped through the CDs and selected a mix. She put it on and "Kisses of the Sun" came blaring.
Everyone, assured of Angel's godessness, gathered around. Mark turned his camera on quietly.
"Here we have Angel Dumott-Schunard, teaching the cheerleaders of the all-girls Nunside High how REAL cheerleaders cheer. Who knew?"
"And step to the right, to the left, slide, spin around- heel only, chica- BIG winding motion with the hand, and then the piece de resistance- the coat maneuver!" (The coat maneuver was the motion Mimi made with her long jacket at Maureen's protest, of course. And what else could the winding motion be but the winding of the camera?)
"Thanks so much, Angel!"
"Yeah, you rock, homegirl."
"We'll so totally win the game!"
"Thanks for all the help."
And so Angel slipped away, but realized she had to go to the bathroom. She slipped into the men's bathroom. And nobody would have noticed except the girl's bathroom had run out of paper towels and a student needed to dry her hands. So she caught Angel exiting the bathroom. And obviously, this was an extremely uptight, conservative girl.
"SHE'S A HE!!!!!!" she cried.
"Uh-oh." said Angel Dumott-Schunard.
"Run!!!!" said Mark.
And they did...
