Fandom High Graduation Ceremony Class of 2006 - Monday night

[OOC: This post is open for slow-play. Take your time and please remember that this is all about the seniors!]


As the sun disappeared below the horizon on Monday evening, large, bright lights came on, illuminating the front lawn of Fandom High. There was a stage area with several chairs for the administration and special guests, as well as a podium and microphone. On the grass in front of the stage are rows and rows of chairs for parents, guardians, siblings and friends of the graduating seniors, as well as enough chairs for any faculty, townies and students who decide to attend. There is an aisle free down the middle and reserved seats in the front row for the graduating seniors.

All in all, the place looks fantastic decked out in blue and gold thanks to the efforts of the freshmen on the graduation committee.

Oh yes. Then there's the inflatable gremlin filled with helium off to the side that's the size of the building. It looks kind of cute, actually, just floating there while tied to the ground.

"Animal. Animal my man." said Dr. Teeth in a soothing voice. "Nah, ya got it all wrong."

"Ahhhhh!" Animal grinned and waved his arms in the air clutching his drumsticks.

"BEAT DRUMS BEAT DRUMS! WANT BEAT DRUMS!"

"Fer'shur." Janice said shrugging.

Dr. Teeth shook his head and face palmed.

"Ah man."

"Mah Nah Mah Nah"

Okay, that was new. But hey, good. Even the Muppet angle didn't diminish that. Parker put her fingers in her mouth and whistled for the band. "Encore!"

Animal hopped up and down behind his drum set as much as his chains would permit.

"ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!

The blond with the guitar rolled her head, and possibly her eyes. But her hat and her hair was in the way so it would be hard to tell.

"Oh man. There he goes again. Zoot." she turned to a blue guy with a fro and a sax. "Tell him to calm down."

But Zoot just shruged and shook his head. It was useless.

As Animal continued to yell about encores, Dr. Teeth hobbled up to Parker.

"Wull thank you little lady," which was amusing to call her that because he was about four feet tall if he was an inch. "Second verse same as the first or do you have a request?"

Parker grinned. "How about We Are the Champions? For Angel, as well as the rest of them."

Queen's "We Are the Champions"

Dr Teeth does a rolling scale up the piano keys.

"Okay boys and girls, this one goes out to Angel and the rest of them... Take it away Animal..."

PAID DUES
TIME AFTER TIME
DONE SENTENCE
BUT NO CRIME
BAD MIS... MIS... BAD BAD BAD STUFF
BAD STUFF DONE FEW
KICK SAND IN FACES
I COME THROUGH


Floyd decides to take over, speaking the next part like a dramatic monologue in his raspy mellow voice.
ImageWe are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -


ImageI've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -
Like, totally.

ImageBut it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
Take it Zoot.

Image . . .

Animal takes over again.

WE CHAMPIONS FRIENDS!
WE FIGHTING END!
WE CHAMPIONS
WE CHAMPIONS
NO LOSERS!
WE CHAMPIONS!
WE CHAMPIONS!
WE CHAMPIONS!
WE CHAMPIONS!
WE CHAMPIONS!


Animal falls over and comes back up gnawing on his chair.

Parker's pretty much gleeing herself to death. And applauding like crazy, between giggling.

"CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS!"

The chair is reduced to spinters, which go flying.
