Setting:
The Fellip Nectar Stand
Characters:
Gigi, Lani, Gbbarb1, Stark, John, D’Argo, Chiana, Rygel, Crais, and Aeryn
**
[The
UT gang is chilling at the Stand at their usual booth, celebrating another bout
of birthdays for November. Gigi, Lani,
and Gbarb1 are all adorned with special party hats designed by Pilot. They are fully equipped with drinking
straws, three-cup holders, blinking lights, streamer shooters, and food
dispensers. Okay, so they’re a little
heavy!]
Gigi: [Leaning back enjoying a large blue
olive.] “Love and faery dust!”
Lani: “I do not understand the meaning of
this.” [Raises arms at the beings
around him. They are all crazy in his
eyes. He tugs at his hat.]
Gbbarb1: “Duck!”
[Flings
a cherry pie towards the doorway in hopes of hitting the next patron to
enter. SPLATT! Unfortunately, it’s Scorpius and he is not
happy. Gbbarb1 dives underneath the
booth and hides.]
Rygel: [Laughs.]
“That’s why you shouldn’t waste such delicious morsels.”
John: “You can stop hugging my leg now, Gbbarb1!”
Gbbarb1: [Muffled voice.] “I’m not hugging your leg.”
[John
widens his eyes and ducks under table to see who is.]
D’Argo: [Unsheathes his Qualta Blade.] “I’ll take care of this.” [Ducks under table and disappears.]
Aeryn: [Shakes head.] “I suppose you guys want to open your gifts now.”
Chiana: [Crosses arms in a pout.] “Why don’t I get any?”
Crais: [Shakes head and rolls eyes.] “Because it’s their birthday, not yours.”
Chiana: “Oh.”
[Pauses and thinks about it.]
“But we’re the same person, aren’t we?”
Stark: “Same or different?”
Rygel: “Don’t start again.”
Stark: [Looks offended.] “I was being serious.”
Lani: [Wriggles fingers in the air impatiently.]
“Well? Who’s first?”
Gigi: “I sure could use a nice warm bath
robe!” [Sits forward anxiously.]
Gbbarb1: [Pops head up from underneath table.] “Did someone say something about gifts?”
Aeryn: [Peers under.] “What exactly is taking you guys so long down there?”
John: [Muffled reply.] “It’s a whole new world down here!”
[Loud
thumping dance music can be heard beyond his voice only for a moment. A ray of shimmering colorful lights spills
across Aeryn’s face and her eyes open wide.
Before anyone realizes it, she disappears down beneath the table with
Gigi close behind. The rest of the gang
sitting at the booth looks to one another in bewilderment. They shrug their shoulders and then duck
underneath the table.]
IT
IS TIME TO WELCOME YOU TO A WHOLE OTHER WORLD…
[Loud
music pounds into your ears. Sparkling
lights flash in every direction.
Colorful waves of light wave over you.
The cool gel floor fills in between your toes as it lights up upon each
step. Aliens of every race (and ye
faithful FNS Regulars ;)) are constantly shoving you about as they dance wildly
to the song of the moment. Trays of
chocolates, delicacies, fluffables, even shots of Raslak Shooters are passed
beneath your nose. That’s right, you’ve
entered into the Ecstasy Zone of the Under Booth World.]
Gigi: [Raises arms up in delight and shakes her
booty.] “Ha! This is fantastic! When
did you guys discover this place?”
John: [Dances in front of Aeryn who tries to stay
still and look unimpressed.] “Just
found it!”
Gbarb1: “Hey, I found it! If I hadn’t hit Scorpy with the cherry pie none of us would be
here, you know.”
Stark: “Ooh!
I’m going after that blue aura!”
[Races away.]
D’Argo: [Laughs heartily.] “Here, I carved you all a miniature version of the Growler from
fluffables. I figured it would be fun
to eat something that looked glorious compared to food cubes.” [Hands gift to Gigi as Lani and Gbbarb1 look
over her shoulder. All three look to
each other with widened eyes. D’Argo
dances into the crowd and the three quickly pass the gift on to Rygel.]
Crais: “A neural transponder from Pilot, Talyn and
I. We figured you’d like it.” [Hands the gift to Lani who smiles appreciatively.]
Lani: “Lovely, thank you.”
Chiana: [Smiles at Gigi.] “Well, I know what you’d love so I got you some fluffy slippers
to go with that bath robe you wanted.
They’re made from this creature called Tarsus that….”
Gigi: [Giggles.]
“That’s okay, you don’t need to tell me anything more, Chiana.” [Wraps arms around her in a hug.] “Thanks!”
Gbbarb1: [Dances through crowd with another pie in
her hands.] “Anyone want chocolate
éclair?”
Rygel: [Taps her on the back.] “We have something for you Gbbarb1.”
[Startled,
Gbbarb1 lets go of the pie and it twirls through the air. Everyone freezes as it lands SPLATT into a
Scarran’s face. The angry Scarran licks
off the pie and suddenly smiles and continues dancing. Gbbarb1 and others exchange thankful glances
and continue on dancing.]
Aeryn: [Stops Gbbarb1.] “We have something for you.”
Gbarb1: “Oh yeah, Rygel just said….”
Stark: “We have something for you.”
John: [Hits Stark up side the head.] “They already said that!”
Stark: “Oh, sorry.” [Blushes.]
John: [Steps forward with a wrapped gift. It looks normal.] “Here, a gift from all of us, well those of us stuck in the
Uncharteds, anyway.”
Gbbarb1: [Smiles and unwraps gift.] “Ah, gee, thanks guys…I really didn’t need
any….” [Gasps.]
D’Argo: [Sticks his head in.] “You live in the cheese colonies on Earth so
we figured you’d love it.”
Gbbarb1: “The cheese slicer 2001! Wow!
Do you realize how many cheese slices this thing catapults into the air
in one minute? Ooh, the SPLATTers are
gonna hate me for this!” [Rubs hands
together evilly and darts through the crowd to test it out.]
Gigi: “Come on guys, let’s get this party
going!”
[Music
turns up and the entire group begins to dance.
Gigi and Lani are hoisted above the crowd and carried around. Slices of cheese fly through the air. One lands on Aeryn’s head. Frowning, she watches as John gently takes
it off and takes a bite before her. He
smiles and is then whisked into the crowd behind Chiana in a train formation. All have an excellent time and dance into
the next monen…well, solar day for those who have to work. Hehehe!]
