Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

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!"

"Oh all the freaking time! Guy like me is meant for the stage." says Peter "I know I can make it as a singer but all I really want to do is DANCE!"

"I've got moves man. Just wait till Homecoming."

"I believe you," John says and points to the stage. "I watched you get down up there. I could see you in Cirque du Soleil."

"Really? I saw Cirque one time when I was on vacation." said Peter "They said Wayne Jarvis my father was the worst audience member they ever had. Then he called them a bunch of sinners and lashed out at them. After that we got to make a trip to the LVPD."

"What a good vacation." he mumbles. "Anyways, when I make it big I'll invite you to one of my shows and you can see me in the tights and scary clown make-up!"

"Ever thought about being a singing telegram guy?" John asks, trying to get the image of Peter in tights out of his head. "You know, a guy sends you to the house of the girl he has a crush on to get her attention."

Peter's eyes widened. "You mean I could do that? For like, money? Or donuts?" says Peter "That would be like a dream come true! I would be a modern day cupid. Except with words making people fall in love instead of pointy arrows."

"Well, for money, I think. But money buys donuts," John points out. "Lots of donuts if you're good at it. And you could wear tights and makeup, if that's what you're into."
