NOW … *drum roll* TIME FOR CASTAWAY: BACKSTAGE!!!!
Chelsea: Say what? I'm starting???
Vaughn: You better hurry. They're waiting.
Chelsea: Ah, right! -faces camera- HELLO!! MY NAME IS CHELSEA! -all awkward-
Natalie: Wow… they already know your name. And you're stiff [pushes Chelsea over]
Chelsea: Of course they would know my name, I'm the main character.
Vaughn: And you fail at it… A disgrace to the title of main characters.
-Eliza and Charlie appear-
Eliza: -flips hair- No, I am the main character. I'm beautiful, smart -
Charlie: So you're going to be a boy now? Great!
Eliza: Nooo… I am the cute princess of the show [Chelsea: so now we're a show?] I even had my debut chapter, all about me! Hee.
Charlie: -pouts- I was in it too. I was the Prince.
Eliza: No, Braden was the Prince, Charlie. My lovely Prince Charming.
Pierre: I had my debut chapter too… It was the longest [Dojo: AND MOST ANNOYINGLY PAINFUL TO WRITE!] I cooked so much food that day.
Denny: Hey now. Don't forget me. My debut chapter was the funniest. Thanks to yours truly. -smirks-
-Lanna smacks Denny-
Lanna: I was in there too! -blushes- I had the cute romantic scene with Braden. We were walking together, alone, in the middle of the night.. Under the moonlight [starts rambling]
Chelsea: …
Vaughn: Wow…
Natalie: They already forgot you're a girl…
Elliot: Eh, so my suspicions was right.
Chelsea: [takes camera] Anyway… It seems Dojo allowed you to join us backstage.
Julia: That's cool. More friends. More fun right?
Vaughn: Fun? It's massacre and disaster back here. Leave now if you want to live your life SANE.
Denny: Aw, Vaughn. You're such a party pooper. Of course it's fun back here. All of us together in a random lounge. Totally not following the plot. No Author to boss us around. Party everyday. Whoo! [starts dancing around the whole lounge, jumping over everything]
Vaughn: See. This is the result. A party monkey.
Chelsea: Well, he is right. We aren't following the plot backstage. And plus, Dojo isn't here right now.
Julia: But she did leave behind something right?
Chelsea: She did?
-Gannon and Chen appear-
Gannon: Ah, so this is where you all were!
Chen: We were looking for you all.
Natalie: Well, you found us. What's up?
Charlie: THE CEILING! [such an old old classic]
Chen: [holds down Charlie] Calm down, Charlie. You could break things horse playing like that.
Denny: Wow, even backstage Chen acts like a real father to Charlie.
Lanna: Idiot, that's because Charlie really is Chen's son.
Denny: O_O Crap, I did not know that.
Lanna: [face palm]
Gannon: [holds out letter] Anyway, Dojo left this and it's addressed to you Chelsea.
Chelsea: [takes letter] -stares-
Elliot: Something wrong?
Chelsea: I'm kinda scared to open this letter…
Julia: Why?
Chelsea: Even if she is just a teenager… she's obviously a force to be reckoned with. I mean think about it… all the things she put us through…
[everyone looks back at Chapters 1-20]
Denny: -strokes chin- You're right… She's a reckless… random one. Probably even more randomer than WP…
Chelsea: WP?
WP: Yes, me. The Witch Princess. [Witch Princess is too long to type down every stinking time]
Chelsea: Ah, it's been a while (like since Chapter 9). How have you been doing?
WP: Practicing spells. Making new motives. Creating plans to steal the power that has been given to you. Stalking you The usual.
Chelsea: Ah… o_o"
WP: [flicks out wand] Continuing on and creating more disaster, LET'S OPEN THAT LETTER!
Chelsea: WAIT!!!
[Big magical sparkly splash of yellow lights]
Vaughn: Oh dear [passive voice] It's Open…
Julia: You could at least be a little caring…
Denny: Yeah, I mean, it's possible that the little conniving author of ours could lash out some big dragon on us.
Chelsea: [reading] Oh…
Chen: Nothing Violent?
Gannon: Anything destructive?
Natalie: Anything Censored? [everyone looks at her] WHAT?!
Chelsea: Alright. I'm down with this. [puts on glasses] I know this is a little late, but… WELCOME TO CASTAWAY: BACKSTAGE. I will be your reporter today, Chelsea Acres.
Vaughn: You're way late.
Chelsea: Ah Vaughn, thank you for initiating our conversation.
Vaughn: What?
Chelsea: Come sit and talk with me. I have to interview you.
Everyone: …?
Chelsea: [flashes out Letter and points] Dojo says, "Objective one: Explain 'this' Vaughn and why he's apparently OOC"
Everyone: ???
Vaughn: OOC?
Chelsea: Out of Character, Vaughn. I figured you already knew. But I guess not. So moving along, Vaughn, explain yourself.
Vaughn: Explain what?
Chelsea: -dead serious- Why you killed him.
Denny: OAO VAUGHN KILLED SOMEONE?
Julia: Oooh.. It's like those dramas you see on tv with all the murder cases.
Lanna: I love watching those; like CSI and stuff. Fringe is pretty good too.
Vaughn: I didn't kill someone.
Chelsea: You heard me wrong.
Everyone: (No we didn't)
Chelsea: Apparently, your acting skills in Castaway is portrayed much differently than your expected personality as a stoic, avoiding, quiet, anti-social animal dealer. It has been evident that you are much kinder here to the 'Chelsea' of this series, as well as neutral to everyone else. Though you do have your flaws and quirks every now and then, we're just human, you are acting much differently in your area of expertise, as if you are leaving your comfort zone. Thus, dubbing you quite OOC since basically you are too kind and giving here.
Denny: Ah, yeah… I lost you at Castaway..
Vaughn: Is there a problem for being too kind?
Chelsea: Well… no, actually, I very much enjoy it since it's easy to mooch off of you and depend on you to help me remember my lines, as well as acting off of each other. But we've been receiving few complaints about it.
Vaughn: I don't see the problem about it though. I guess I just wanted to show a completely different view of me, without losing my constant flair of being an antisocial jerk.
Julia: Ooh, Jerk is such a strong word.
Vaughn: But it's nice seeing this side of me as it is much more easier to work with, apparently.
Denny: Well it's kinda hard to work with someone who's glaring all the time.
Vaughn: Also, I would like to say that yes, it out of the norm, but I don't think it would count as OOC. Defending our author here in Castaway, I'm sure she noticed that my character is always portrayed that way and perhaps got bored of it. Here I guess I'm more portrayed as a brotherly figure.
Chen: As well as a love interest.
Gannon: Yeah, no point ignoring that fact.
Chelsea: Actually, I feel the same way. It's kinda boring dealing with the same Vaughn Snail in every plot that we do. Sure, it's a nice connection between us as characters, but it's nice to see something different. It's like a challenge.
Vaughn: To not end up using the same overused idea with such a twisted plot, it is quite a challenge. But mostly, I like it since it gives me a whole different side from the usual.
Chelsea: Agreed. Like me, Dojo makes me look like a complete reckless fighting idiot with a passion for money. Most of the time, I'm sure I'm just a farmer looking forward to life.
Denny: [randomly jumps between them] -pulls out pompoms- Le's do dis… FISHING FISHING I LOVE FISHING YEAH! YEAH! ~FI-SHI-ING YEAH~! [does cheerleading jump move thing]
Chelsea/Vaughn: O_O
Denny: Come on. The mood is kinda boring. MOVE ON TO OBJECTIVE TWO!
Chelsea: Objective 2 … She said to tell them why she isn't present right now.
Natalie: -grins- I think I know why. Whatta lazy author we have. [lightning strikes down just beside Natalie's right]
[Far off in distant Dramaland - Dojo: -sneezes- Hnnuurr.. Is someone talking about me?]
Natalie: O_O;
Chelsea: Errr… Let's not speak bad about our author… alright? Witnessing this… should be convincing enough.
Electrician: -peaks head through door- Sorry about that. I was fixing a bulb and it busted.
Gannon: Light bulbs don't usually give off lightning strikes right?
Electrician: Aw, Crap. Don't tell me Joshua is back. -walking away muttering- Stupid Jesus Beams. (1)
Chelsea: … Umm…
Julia: Apparently, Dojo is busy with her dramas.
Elliot: She must really like those dramas.
Julia: Yep, she's waiting for two to update.
Chelsea: Then why isn't she writing our script while she's waiting?
Natalie: [wearing rubber suit] Like I said, she's lazy, and what I didn't mention, she's also a major procrastinator.
Elliot: Natalie… why are you wearing a rubber suit?
Natalie: Just in case I get struck by lightning. I ain't afraid of Author and her ridiculous lightning bolts. I can say whatever I want. LIBERTY OF SPEECH, I TELL YOU!
Lanna: Well, I like dramas. And Castaway was inspired by dramas too. What's she watching?
Julia: The two are Liar Game 2 and Hi, My SweetHeart (2).
Vaughn: Liar Game?
Lanna: Hi, My Sweetheart?
Chelsea: Sounds like they are both complete opposites
Denny: And completely random.
Julia: Dojo also requests that all the boys dress up as Pink Panther and do the Pink Panther Theme Dance. (3)
Chelsea: There's such thing?
-Alisa and Nathan appear-
Alisa: Pink Panther? Oh, I loved that show.
Elliot: Why does she want us to dress up as Pink Panther?
Julia: The costumes are already provided. Check out the closet to your left.
-Chelsea and Natalie open closet-
[Closet filled with Pink Panther costumes]
Natalie: Dang, she wasn't joking.
Vaughn: No.
Elliot: I don't think I'm up for it.
Pierre: I'm against it. Its cloth has poor quality.
Denny: I'll dress up. Shea, join me!
Shea: Why big cat pink? Never seen one. The world is broad.
Chelsea: My gosh… We're going to have a big riot here soon. -sighs-
Mark: What's up with all the pink panther costumes?
Chelsea: Mark? What are you doing here?
Mark: I got bored in the Waiting room. We decided to come visit.
Chelsea: Yeah, you must be bored. If our author would start busting some moves, probably we'd be past the Denny/Vaughn Arc and hitting winter. Where's Sabrina and Regis?
Mark: Sabrina's coming around. Her pops is with the other adults.
Sabrina: Ah, sorry I took so long.
Chelsea: No prob.
Mark: So how do you know about us? We haven't been introduced yet…
Chelsea: Dojo spilled the beans and told me what was to be expected soon. It sounds like fun, especially in winter. I gets ta strip someone. -smirks-
Mark/Sabrina: O_O
Mark: Well *cough* Have fun with that..
Chelsea: Alright! Let's do that scene well, Mark!
Mark: WHAT?! IT'S ME?!
Sabrina: That's a scene I would look forward to seeing. Knowing Dojo, she makes you go through the most awkward things huh?
Chelsea: *ahem* Yeah, errr, it's not that fun though. It's kinda embarrassing.
Sabrina: [nods] Hopefully, I won't be going through scenes like that.
Mark/Chelsea: Probably not.
Mark: Considering how I look at your character.
Chelsea: Yeah. But I'm sure you'll have some cute parts. Like… I hear you're a canon love interest for Vaughn. -grins-
Sabrina: Ah! … Umm.. But I have yet to meet him…
Chelsea: -wider grin- You will. Heh, gives meh some ideas… Which reminds me, DENNY, WHERE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!
Denny: I don't have a girlfriend…?
Chelsea: … that chick… with long black hair… Marissa or something?
Denny: Oh -laughs- She's in the supporting character room. Why?
Chelsea: Just though… you know.. Since you're a newly introduced couple in the game… that you two would be, well, together.
Denny: … no…? Like my tail?
Chelsea: Tail?
[everyone realizes Denny, Charlie, and Shea are wearing Pink Panther outfits]
Alisa: Oh, you two look cute!
Shea: -picking at the fur- Cloth itchy… I don't like.
Charlie: It's too big on me.
[while everyone is talking about the Pink Panther costumes]
Vaughn: We really don't have much time left.
Mark: -smiles- Well, they are enjoying it.
Vaughn: So you finally face me?
Mark: I hate you in the story, Vaughn. At least relax while we're on good terms.
Vaughn: I wonder when these people are going to figure out that Chelsea is actually Braden.
Mark: Yeah, it seems the idea is running longer than you would expect in life.
Dojo: Of course no one could get away with cross-dressing that long.
Mark/Vaughn: … o_o
Dojo: I just came by for a visit and here you stare at me like it's the end of the world.
Vaughn: It's the end of the world.
Mark: Everyone, Prepare to die…
Dojo: Anyway, I know that Chelsea's been Braden for quite a while now, but it's no fun already exposing her right? Let's take Ouran High School Host Club for example. There are still many many people who believe Haruhi is a boy after how many so chapters? Just think of it like that… Or you know in Hana-Kimi… like Mizuki???
Vaughn: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Dojo: Then you're missing out. Well, she doesn't expose herself until my say so! [jumps out into the open] EVERYONE!
Chelsea: I thought you were busy watching your dramas?
Dojo: I was also thinking of doing a Christmas Special for all my fanfics too, but that didn't happen either.
Chelsea: So what are you doing here?
Dojo: You forgot objective three…
Chelsea: [reads] You're going to be leaving for a bit?
DoJo: On New Year's Day yeah, so I'm giving this New Year's Special a tad bit early. SO LET'S DANCE THE PINK PANTHER DANCE FOR NEW YEARS!!!
[And that's when the whole backstage came crashing down]
~To Be Continued~
----
After how many times I said in many A/Ns that I would write a Special, it's finally come! Haha. I got bored (/ I wanted to update, but not type down a chapter). But now you saw little snippets of what's to come. And I also wanted to clarify some few things here and there. Hopefully you enjoyed it!
(1) - Ever Played the DS game "The World Ends With You"? Joshua is a character from TWEWY and pwns monsters with his Jesus Beams (as fans call it.)
(2) - Yes, the two dramas I'm waiting to update. "Liar Game 2" is a Japanese Drama. "Hi, My Sweetheart!" is a Taiwanese drama. Go watch em!
(3) - From "Hi, My Sweetheart!" Pink Panther is like a mascot for the drama and they do an awesome Pink Panther Dance with the theme song (I fail at the dance…)
Happy New Years Everyone!
- Do Jo
