The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large burst of smoke appeared on stage and when it cleared, the handkerchiefs had turned into two cages of doves. One of the doves fell over in the cage, choking on the smoke.

Over the next couple minutes he disappeared cards, linked and unlinked rings, and made his cast say "GO GREMLINS." It was slightly more impressive than should normally be expected from GOB.

When the music wound down, GOB stepped up to the microphone. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and others. Today you will witness the finest example of amateur talent you have ever seen. Unless they suck. If they suck, you should make sure they know they suck. Not just today. Boo them this weekend, too. They'll deserve it for making me a liar."

"Anyway, let's hear it for today's acts!"

React in a hopefully more positive way than GOB did.

From behind the curtain where Cordelia was waiting backstage, she listened to Joxer's performance with an open mouth. She was going to have to really focus if she was going to go out there and seriously perform.

Draco clapped wildly for Joxer. He had tears in his eyes from laughing too hard.

Peter blinked. A lot. "I swear he stole that second verse from an ad for an impotency drug."

"Yay Joxer!"

Chloe had to bite her lip hard to keep from giggling too hard as she clapped.

Aeryn stares. And frowns. And stares some more.

Willow applauded for Joxer. The lyrics were a little over the top, but you couldn't fault a guy who knew how to play the lute.

Kaylee cheered for Joxer. She didn't even mind the lyrics. Much.

. . .

Mission control to Conner McKnight's eyebrows, you have achieved liftoff.

Tyler laughed and clapped very hard. "Go get 'em, Joxer!"

Gwynn didn't understand the point of the song, but Joxer was having fun and she applauded happily for him.

Parker was laughing too hard to applaud. "Heee...."

Piper blinked a lot and clapped politely.

*dies and is dead* "Whoo*giggle*snort*guffaw*hoo!"

Kawalsky snorted and clapped. Hey, at least the guy made life more interesting around here.

Dawn applauded in between wiping the tears away from her eyes from laughing. "You go, Joxer, with your bad lyre-playing self!"
