Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

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 my Lords." Anders looked horrified. "What if we've been starving it all this time?"

"The poor little thing!" Willow said. "We should feed it cupcakes! Oh! And vitamin water."

"Maybe a small salad with chicken?" Anders suggested. "For the protein. Do lockers need protein?"

"Whole wheat bread too," Willow said. "Complex carbs are good for fiber, and for feeling full longer."

That sounded good, but Anders thought it could be a little bit better. "Whole wheat toast. With butter."

"Oo! And jelly!" Willow said.

"Strawberry? Grape? Orange marmalade? Or should we give it one of those little racks with a bunch of flavors to choose from?"

"I'm a fan of choice," Willow said. "Oh! We could go to Luke's and get a plate made up. I bet they've got the little packs of jellies."

"Or I could order a gift basket online or something!" Anders suggested. "The kind with twelve different jellies made from fruits you never heard of before."

"I didn't even know they had those!" Willow said. "Which I guess is why it's fruits I've never heard of before and not the basket of jellies that are well-known even to me."

"Apparently," Anders said, "you can find everything on the Internet."

"This is true," Willow said. "One of the many reasons why I'm so fond of it."
