Eleventh Act

CQueen: Dear God, can you guys believe we’re on the eleventh chapter? That means I’ve already made you guys sing thirty Disney songs!

Hitsugaya: Please don’t remind us.

Matsumoto: Has it really been that many? Maybe we’re all traumatized, and were blocking the memories for our own mental preservation.

Renji: That makes sense.

Ichigo: We all have plenty to repress, that’s for sure.

Rukia: Some more than others.

CQueen: Funny you should say that, Rukia. I’ve gotten several e-mails and reviews expressing displeasure at the lack of exposure you’re receiving.

Rukia: What? How many enemies could I have?

Ichigo: If they know you a hell of a lot.

CQueen: Well either way, Rukia gets to perform the first song for this evening due to all those frantic requests for her to perform.

Rukia: Renji, if you care about me at all, you find out who these reviewers are and kill them all.

CQueen: If you think I’ll let him kill my reviewers you’re dumber than your haircut. I don’t have enough to begin with.

Byakuya: Review whore.

CQueen: I’ll remember that. And now, for the first song, we have Rukia singing a little tune from “The Little Mermaid.”

Rukia:

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my life's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

Look at this life, treasures untold
How many wonders can one Society hold?
Looking around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything

I've got katanas and kimonos a-plenty
I've got shinigami and battle's-its galore
You want hunk-a-ma-bobs?
We’ve got twenty
But who cares? No big deal. I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em livin'
walkin' around with those
Whaddya call 'em? Oh, souls

Flippin' your swords, you don't get too far
Life is required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down the
What's that word again? Street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live
Outta this lifestyle?
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand?

Betcha on Earth they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their sisters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a Bayblade, and why does it
What's the word? Suck?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love?
Love to explore that life up above
Out of this place, wish I could be
Part of that world

CQueen: There we go, that wasn’t so bad, was it?

Nemu: Not as good as some of your earlier work.

CQueen: I know, but I had to give her one and this was the best I could come up with on short notice. I’ll probably do worse eventually, when I’ve wrung this whole concept dry.

Nanao: A day we look forward to with baited breath.

Kyoraku: Now, now, Nanao chan. Let’s not make her angry at you.

CQueen: Oh don’t worry, I just watched the new Transformers and got one hell of a Shia fix. I’m in too good of a mood to pick on a character I actually really like.

Matsumoto: Shia LaBeouf? Isn’t he just the yummiest?

CQueen: And how.

Gin: You both wish you could get a guy like that.

Matsumoto and CQueen: Hell yes!!!

Yachiru: Then you know its cruel to trap us here when we could be seeing the new Transformers movie.

CQueen: You can watch it on DVD when it comes out. Anyways, It’s time for the next act, which is going to be performed by two characters who have yet to grace my stage. Yuzu, Karin, time to step up to the plate.

Ichigo: LEAVE MY SISTERS ALONE!

CQueen: No need to yell. And you don’t have a say. Besides, they’ll be singing this song for you!

Karin:

I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn

Yuzu:
I'll be your candle on the water
'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let this candle guide you
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light

Karin:
A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer

Karin and Yuzu:
I'll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on you'll make it
Here's my hand so take it
Look for me reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...

Isshin: That was, was so beautiful! bursts out crying

Ichigo: Oh geez, Dad.

Karin: I can’t believe she made us sing something so damn sappy.

Hitsugaya: She could have done a lot worse. Besides, you were fine up there.

Ichigo: Hey! No hitting on the little sister or I’ll hit you!

Hitsugaya: And how do you propose to do that without HER help.

CQueen: Yeah, how are you? I like Hitsugaya way more than you.

Yuzu: Can we just not fight, please?

Hana: Yes, it will get you nowhere anyway.

Ichigo: Who asked you, pipsqueak?

Yuzu: Don’t pick on Hana chan!

Ichigo: Chan is right.

Nanao: Will you all stop acting like children!

CQueen: Guess we should just love on to the final song for the sake of everyone’s sanity. Though sanity isn’t exactly a word one usually attributes to this final song. I mean the one singer is called the Mad Hatter for a reason.

Nemu: You’re doing a song from “Alice in Wonderland”?

CQueen: I figured I should make the effort to do at least one song from every musical Disney movie.

Nemu: So they’ll be singing the “Unbirthday” song?

CQueen: Yup. And with that introduction I give you the Mad Hatter, The March Hare, and Alice!

Kyoraku:
A very merry unbirthday to me

Ukitake:
To who?

Kyoraku:
To me

Ukitake:
Oh you!

Kyoraku:
A very merry unbirthday to you

Ukitake:
Who me?

Kyoraku:
Yes, you!

Ukitake:
Oh, me!

Kyoraku:
Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea
A very merry unbirthday to you!

Ukitake:
Now, statistics prove, prove that you've one birthday

Kyoraku:
Imagine, just one birthday every year

Ukitake:
Ah, but there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays!

Kyoraku:
Precisely why we're gathered here to cheer

BOTH:
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you

Nanao:
To me?

Ukitake:
To you!

BOTH:
A very merry unbirthday

Nanao:
For me?

Kyoraku:
For you!

Ukitake:
Now blow the candle out my dear
And make your wish come true

BOTH:
A merry merry unbirthday to you!

Nemu: An interesting interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s novel.

CQueen: Yeah, one of the few Disney movies I didn’t own as a kid. My mom didn’t like it. Anyways, hope you guys all have a great evening, see ya later!
