Rainbow Raver Saves The Rave

    At the very end of the rainbow, where some people say that pots of gold are
    found, there is a wonderful place called Raver Land. Gold or not, one thing is
    certain Raver Land is the place where colors and Raves are born... and it's the
    home of Rainbow Raver!

    Rainbow Raver is a lovable little girl who brings color and
    happiness to the world with her magic Rave Glitter. Without her, the world would
    be a dull, gloomy, not-at-all-fun place to be.

    The Rave Glitter comes in the seven colors of the rainbow. They make grass green
    and the sky blue and roses red. It's quite a trip to make sure that everything comes
    out right, but Rainbow Raver manages to do the job perfectly every day.

    Of course, making sure the entire world is filled with new colors every day is a big
    job. And even a smart, hard-working girl like Rainbow can't dig and sort the colors
    all by herself. So she has many friends who help her.

    Besides the Club Kids, the busiest of Rainbow's helpers are the little Good Vibes.
    They are the friendly, happy workers how dig in the color mines all day.

    The Good Vibes collect wheelbarrows full of the brightest glitter crystals to put in
    peoples hair and on their faces.

    Right in the heart of Raver Land is the Chill Room where Rainbow Raver and the Club
    Kids live. The room is decorated with star-shaped windows and rainbow-arches doorways
    through which black lights glimmer and dance. It is a happy and magical place.

    But just outside Raver Land on a gray and gloomy hill stands The Ghetto. There is nothing
    happy or wonderful about this place. Dark threatening clouds and smog like smoke loom
    over the colorless land. Only two people in the world would want to live in the Ghetto...
    Murky Gangster and his rapping assistant, Homie.

    Deep in the Ghetto, Murky Gangster added a pinch of Bad Vibes to a big evil-smelling pot.
    "Now stir that up good, Homie. Just think, with these Bad Vibes I'll be able to keep Rainbow
    Raver and her goody-goody friends from putting more love in the world. Soon everything will
    be gray and gloomy, and everyone will be as miserable as I am!"
     
    "That's right, Murky. You're the miserablist!"

    One morning, Rainbow Raver gathered the Club Kids together to make an important
    announcement. "Today is the day of The Rave, and we have lots of work to do. If we don't
    color everything as brightly as possible, the Ravers wont arrive! Are you ready
    to get started?"

    All the Club Kids shouted their agreement! Rainbow grinned. "Great! Then the first thing
    we need to do is visit Raver Falls to pick up all the Rave Glitter and Records we can carry!"

    Patty O'Glow Stick was so eager to get started, she danced a little dance. "Well, I'll be
    needing lots of green glow sticks to brighten the Rave."

    Buddy Black light pretended he was raving on one of the dance floors he would soon touch
    up with his Black lights. This made Yellow Glitter Girl laugh. "Don't forget about the
    yellow glitter for everyone!"

    "And the red bike safety lights!" shouted Red Elmo. "Come on, I'll race you to Raver
    Falls!" But Tripping Violet and Indiglow already had a head start. So Red Elmo jogged
    alongside Florescent Orange.

    At the Falls, they found heaps of Rave Glitter everywhere. Rainbow dodged a Good
    Vibe pushing an overloaded cart. " The Good Vibes are working so hard, I'm sure
    we'll be ready on time!"

    Tweaker, Rainbow's favorite Good Vibe, scurried here and there giving orders. "Faster,
    faster! It's almost time!"

    Rainbow's magnificent flying platform shoes, Silver & Gold, walked into the Color
    Warehouse to see how hard everyone was working. They raved around in approval.

    Suddenly, Silver perked up a shoe lace at a distant noise. Red Elmo heard it, too, and
    pointed to the bumpy narrow road that lead down from The Ghetto. "I'd know that
    bass anywhere! It's that awfull Low Rider!" A second later, Murky Gangster's filthy
    64 Empala shot over the hill bouncing to the hydrolics and spewing
    great clouds of nasty smoke.

    As he rode by the surprised Good Vibes, Murky sprayed them with his Bad Vibes.
    "Steer over that way, Homie. We missed a few! Hah! This will ruin The Rave once and for all!"

    Homie glanced at Vibes and laughed. "Hey, Murky, those Bad Vibes are putting a
    gray cloud over their heads! It's making them so gloomy, they've stopped raving!"

    Rainbow Raver pointed an accusing finger at Murky Gangster and Homie. "Stop those
    two! They're trying to ruin the The Rave!"

    But because of Murky's potion, the gloomy Vibes just stood there, all e-traded.

    Rainbow grabbed a handfull of Good Vibes and put on her platform shoes. "Come
    on! Let's go get Murky Gangster and Homie!"

    Quick as a flash, Silver and Gold took to the sky. In a moment they caught up with
    the gang-banging pair and swooped down on them, as Rainbow tossed Good Vibes in
    their path!

    Murky Gangster tried to duck his head. "Steer that way, you fool!"

    "Duh, which way?" Homie turned the wheel and drove right into the Good Vibes.

    In an instant, Homie began to smile. Then he giggled. Then he stopped the Low
    Rider! "Boy, do I feel good!"

    Murky Gangster shook his fists at his Homie. "Don't stop, you oaf!"

    But Homie just sat there smiling at Raver Land. "You know, I never noticed what a
    nice view this is from here."

    Then the Good Vibes began to affect Murky. "Oh, no! All these Vibes are making me
    feel happy. It's sickening! Move over, Homie. I'm going to cruise us out of here!"
    Then he roared of for The Ghetto as fast as he could go.

    Rainbow Raver watched as the wind blew all the gloom and Bad Vibes away. "Thank
    goodness Murky Gangster and his Bad Vibes are gone. Now we can get The Rave
    Back on schedule!"

    Tweaker jumped up and down, calling to his fellow Good Vibes. "Come on, everyone,
    get X-cited! We've got raving to do!" Then Rainbow Raver, the Club Kids and all
    the Good Vibes hurried off to make the The Rave the happiest, most color-full rave ever!
