Cable TV
By Rivvi Eve
Note: I love Target! So I made this little tribute to it. I hope you find it
amusing, I sure did! (But I mutalated the characters a bit... sorry, Shady
-san.) (^^);;
(SCENE a public access cable channel set. There is a long, fold-out table and
some metal folding chairs. Takumi is seated at it, holding some papers.)
TAKUMI: Good evening, and welcome to Target! the cable show. I'm your host,
Takumi--
(off-camera)VOICE: Get to it, already! You're making our ratings drop!
TAKUMI: What ratings?! Do you realize how few people watch public access
channels?!
VOICE: I don't care!
TAKUMI: Grr... I'll deal with you later... Anyway, as I was saying, today we
have quite a show planned. First, here's Rui with... (checks notes) Here's Rui
with a synopsis of what has happened in the online Manga so far.
(The camera cuts to Rui)
RUI: (Smiles and waves) Hi, Mom! Um, let's see... Not much has happened so far.
We're just getting the story started (again). There's been a big scene
involving my friends, a bush, and a mysterious teacher who looks a little like
a girl. Okay, a lot like a girl. Oh, and... (blushes) Well, not much else...
(Seiji pops up over Rui's shoulder, grinning)
SEIJI: Isn't that cute? Rui's in love! (pats Rui on the head)
RUI: (face turns beet red) Um... (sinks lower in his seat)
TAKUMI: (also pops in) Seiji, who was so worried about the hypothetical
ratings?!
SEIJI: Hey, our ratings are not pathetic! We reach an average of ten
people a week, you know!
TAKUMI: My point.
SEIJI: Well, I bet that we would reach more people if you weren't always so
boring! People want to see other's personal love lives!
RUI: Umm... (pulls hat down and slides slowly under the table, unnoticed by
Takumi and Seiji)
TAKUMI: You're the one who's always interrupts everyone! You think that people
want to see you yelling about the so-called "ratings" every two seconds?!
SEIJI: I don't do that!!
TAKUMI: You always do that!!
(Rui makes his way back to where Takumi was sitting before and looks over the
notes)
RUI: (eyes grow wide) Oh, my... This is... (reads) These are NOT notes. (sets
papers down) Um, well, next up, we have... Seiji's part of the show, I
believe. Seiji! You're on!
SEIJI: And besides, it was on MY side of the-- wha? (looks up at the camera and
laughs nervously) Um, sorry 'bout that, folks. Let's see. (goes to his seat)
Today I have lots of juicy stories to tell you. (grins evilly) For instance,
did you know that Takumi was seen in a--
TAKUMI: I did not!! Whatever it is, don't listen to him! He's lying!!
SEIJI: Oh? I have a note right here saying you DID.
TAKUMI: PROVE IT!!
SEIJI: I, umm... Well, I'm afraid I left the video at home, but I can assure
you that there's substantial proof to the fact that you were--
TAKUMI: That's it! Stop the cameras! This show is OVER!!
SEIJI: Hey, you can't do that! This was my idea, you know!
TAKUMI: Yeah, but everyone knows I'm the main character of the manga!
SEIJI: Liar! You are not!!
(they continue to argue off-camera and Rui walks up to the camera and starts to
apologize)
RUI: Um, it appears that we won't be doing this show anymore. Sorry, Mom...
Sorry, everyone... I guess it just wasn't that great of an idea anyway.
TAKUMI: (shoves Rui out of the way) Are you kidding?! It was a stupid idea!! I
think Easter-boy over there was on crack when he thought of it, because there
is no other possible explanation for--
SEIJI: (Shoves Takumi out of the way) Hey! Don't call me Easter-boy!!
(He goes off-camera, chasing Takumi around the room. They leave a trail of
loose papers and overturned chairs in their wake.)
Rui: (laughs nervously) Um, sorry about that! I guess you'll just have to read
the manga three times a week for entertainment! The address is as follows!
(holds up a piece of paper with the address written on it and grins) Bye-bye!
Mom, I'll be home early! Wait a minute, we're not having Leftover Stew for
dinner again, are we...?
