BREAKING NEWS: Due to the poor sales the recent movie "It's a Wonderful Life" made on its opening weekend, the producers of the popular Ghost Hunt series, Jack Peterson, Lucas George, and Stephanie Hardwicke, have decided to fire the Ghost Hunt cast.

…

The new cast had been chosen, and there was to be a test audition today. The three big star directors/producers, sat at the their little fold out table, dramatically sipping at the water, or sometimes staring into the cup, as if it held the reason for why the Ghost Hunt show's production had been going down recently. They had sheets in front of them that held the information of the actor or actress and what show or movie they had made their debut appearance in.

As they were waiting for the actors and actresses to get dressed and in character, Yasu came up to them, holding a script in his hand.

"Now," Yasu said to them, "Let me get this straight. I was not fired?"

Lucas George shook his head. "Well, we figured that you were such a minor character, that no one would even notice if you hadn't been changed."

Yasu let the script fall to his side. "I see," he said with a smile.

Even with just his simple reply, the three producers felt that all of Hell was going to be unleashed upon them if they said anything else.

The producers turned back to the make-shift stage as the first actor came on and sat at his desk. He had white hair and had a very stern, unhappy look on his face, which was probably why he was chosen. Hopefully no one would notice the hair color change.

They all peeked at their info sheets:

ZERO KIRYU: Made his debut appearance in the dark romance 'Vampire Knight', as the Not Quite the Main Love Interest. Where his twin also died.

"Mai," Zero said, steepling his fingers together. "Bring me tea."

"Oh, Zero?" Mr. Jack Peterson said, "We're not doing the tea thing, anymore."

Zero gave him a grumpy look.

The next actress skittered onto the stage. She had shoulder-length pink hair and big eyes. She wore a school outfit and had an overall bouncy look to her.

AMU HINAMORI: The main star actress from the recently finished inspiring comedy 'Shugo Chara!'.

She stood stiffly before Zero. "What would you like to drink, Boss?"

"I don't care," Zero said.

"Oh, well, uh, how about I just make the regular then?"

"I don't care," Zero said again.

Lucas George gave his fellow producers a worried look. Jack Peterson rolled his eyes, and Stephanie Hardwicke said, "I think they're doing perfectly."

And then Monk walked in, or, more correctly speaking –

TAMAKI SUOH: Who hit the media world with a bang with his gorgeous looks more than his talents. The leading male role in the long running TV comedy 'Ouran High School Host Club'.

He had glossy blonde hair and blue eyes, and he strutted around the stage as if he was taking over as the Main Love Interest. The producers silently thought about Yasu and his smile from Hell.

"Oh, dear Mai, please don't stress yourself over such minor chores," Tamaki said, "I will make our Boss tea." Tamaki pointed at Zero to unnecessarily punctuate his speech. The producers couldn't tell if it was the light or if he was actually sparkling.

"I don't care who makes me tea," Zero said, "just as long as I get tea."

"Um, Zero," Jack Peterson said into his microphone.

Zero slammed his fist on the desk. "What?"

"Well, you're supposed to care. You only want Mai to make you tea."

Zero glared at a suddenly nervous Amu. "Well? You heard the man, make me tea."

Tamaki put his hands on his hips. "Now, sir, that is no way to talk to a young lady."

The door opened again and the next person walked onto the stage. He was tall with black hair and long bangs. He had an elegant stride to his walk, and he overall appeared… butler-like.

SEBASTIAN MICHAELIS: Although he has been in many box office hits and Oscar Award winners, his most recent shows include the dark comedy 'Black Butler' saga, co-starring Ciel Phantomhive.

"I apologize for the wait, master." Sebastian set down the tea cup with grace. "Today for afternoon tea is from what I was able to muster from the cabinets. A slightly bitter green tea sweetened from the refined leaves of the stevia plant."

"But – that's my job," Amu said, shuffling up to the man and trying her best to glare at him, but he was much taller than her.

"Who is he playing as?" Lucas George asked.

"He's replacing Lin," said Jack Peterson.

"Ah. Then I guess he kinda works…"

"I think they sound the same," said Stephanie Hardwicke dreamily.

Before they could process him anymore, the next actress for Ayako walked onto stage.

"All right," said the short woman. She had black, stiff hair where a single thick strand fell on her forehead. She was wearing black robes and had a sword at her hip. "I came directly from my other shoot, and I need to return as soon as I can."

RUKIA KUCHIKI: Making her debut run in the popular TV series 'Bleach'. A strong female character type, but with a hint of girliness behind it all.

"Why," said Tamaki, "it is so nice to meet you—"

"Don't touch me," Rukia said, "Or I'll cut your foul hands off."

Tamaki paled and he shrunk away from her with tears threatening to overflow from his eyes. Amu patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"How much more do we have to live through?" asked Jack Peterson.

"Um," Lucas George shuffled through his papers. "Can somebody send John in?" he said into his mic.

"I think they're all doing swell," said Stephanie Hardwicke.

EDWARD ELRIC: He and his brother, Alphonse Elric, are the main stars in the exceedingly popular completed movies 'Fullmetal Alchemist".

He had blonde hair that he wore in a braid and wore his trademark red jacket. He was about the same height as Amu.

"That's John?" said Lucas George. "He looks nothing like him. And he's so…"

Edward turned around as he sensed the word coming. "What was that? Do you want to have a go with me? I only dare you to say it."

Lucas George bit his bottom lip, and was quiet.

The next actress came in so quickly that she bumped into Edward, who had still been standing close to the door.

"Hey, watch it," she said. She had long brunette hair that was a bit tousled and had some braids intermixed through the tresses. She was wearing a trench coat-like jacket and was eating a doughnut. "I'm only here because my agent told me to be."

ALICE: Who made her debut in the lesser known show 'Pandora Hearts'. It would be wrong to cross swords with her, as her co-stars have found out.

Lucas George grabbed the sides of his head and attempted to pull his hair out. "What happened to the beautiful Masako?"

Jack Peterson grunted in reply.

"I think she works," said Stephanie Hardwicke.

"What about Gene?" Lucas George continued, "Send in Gene."

He didn't get one, but two Genes. The two gingered hair twins came in, an arm around each other's shoulder.

"Hold on a minute," said Zero, holding his hands up. "We don't even look the same. And there are two of them! Somebody call my brother! He is certainly not busy enough to not help out here. I mean, how much is he even going to be in this show anyway, since he'll be dead?"

HIKARU and KAORU HITACHIIN: The twins made their breakthrough in the movie industry from the comedy 'Ouran High School Host Club'.

"This is not going to work," Zero said again.

Hikaru pointed to Zero, "What's he doing here? I thought we were both the ones enrolled."

Stephanie Hardwicke sighed. "You know, he kind of sounds like Naru…"

"I'm bored," Edward said randomly.

Tamaki had gone to sit in the corner of the office, since he felt that everyone had forgotten about him.

"ENOUGH." Lucas George threw his arms up, trying to get them all to be quiet. "All right now, where's Yasu?"

The door opened to reveal a very hunched over man with unkempt hair and dark bags underneath his eyes. He was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. Alice backed away from him as if he were diseased.

"What the?" Lucas George said, but he didn't have long to wonder when the actual Yasu waved a paper underneath his nose.

L: The Sherlock Holmes-like detective that played in the movie 'Death Note'. No other information is available.

Yasu held up another sheet of paper. "And I suggest that you sign this."

…

BREAKING NEWS: Due to some unveiled threat that the producers would not speak about, the whole Ghost Hunt cast has been rehired.

Notes: Edward, Tamaki, Zero…can you tell I like the voice actor Vic Mignogna? xD

Also, the voice actor who played Lin also played Sebastian…

…And the voice actor of Naru also played Hikaru…

I guess it's all a crossover, isn't it?
