Matt: *on the phone* WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T MAKE IT!! Cybacell, if you and Shemp are not going to be here then...no, I don't CARE that Melodie's avalable! If you can't show up and neither can my band then who will perform for the people?! *then he turned around to see all the Digidestined standing there.* Bye. *then he hung up the phone* Are any of you musically inclined?
Tai: I suppose playing the guitar can't be that hard since you do it.
Izzy: How do you play the drums? You hit them with a stick. That should be pretty easy.
Jyou: Oh! I'm an EXPERT at the triangle!
Sora: I have been playing the violin for...two months.
Mimi: I'm not musically inclined but I can SING!!
Davis: You know, I've always liked the trumpet. And it only has three buttons so how hard can it possibly be?
Yolei: Um...my sister plays the cello but that looks too hard so...oh! I know how to play a tamborine!
Cody: I know how to hold a clarinet.
TK: Um...I can play "The Rescuers" on the keyboard.
Kari: I've seen someone play a flute before.
Ken: There's a gong in our attic.
Matt: ...It'll have to do!
Tai: Argh! How do you do this?! My fingers are turning all purple and they hurt and there are little dents in them and...
Matt: Well you're the one who wanted to play the guitar.
Tai: But I don't anymore!!
Izzy: All I have to do is keep the beat. *he starts slowly hitting the drum, creating a very boring quarter note...beat...thing...*
Matt: No, you're supposed to follow along with what's written on the paper. See? There's a half note, and then you hit THAT drum and there's three...
Izzy: Wait, can you slow down? I'm confused. I thought I was just...HITTING it!
Mimi: Matt, could you listen to me sing?!
Matt: I kind of...have to help people...read notes...
Mimi: Oh but you have to okay my lyrics!! *she's just about to start singing when she's interrupted by...*
Sora: *screech screech screech* I'm so good at the violin! *screech screech screech*
Matt: PLEASE STOP!!!
Sora: What? Don't you think I'm good at the violin?
Matt: ...um...no...
Sora: Oh. Um.
Jyou: I'M HERE!!! *he holds up a triangle that's all special and shiny with Jyou's name engraved on the side* I love my triangle! *he starts nuzzling it affectionately.*
Matt: Okay...Jyou, I'll have to ask you to stop that before I hurl.
Jyou: Oh...okay then.
Davis: Look! I'm really good at the trumpet! *he pushes each button down individually alone and plays a three note scale*
Matt: I hate to break it to you but there are different patterns, different notes if you blow up and down, different...
Davis: Please stop. You're shattering my hopes and dreams.
Yolei: I like juice.
Matt: What about your tamborine?
Yolei: Oh you mean this? *she holds up a tamborine and shakes it a little bit*
Cody: Okay, so the buttons on this instrument have holes in them...is there any point to that? And it doesn't make a good sound like the cat on Peter and the Wolf.
Matt: I can't help you. I don't play the clarinet.
Cody: Well then.
Ken: Here's the...gong. It's kind of dented...and dusty...and screwed up.
Matt: This is a disaster. Does ANYONE here besides me know how to play their instrument?!
Jyou: I DO!!!
Matt: *sigh* BESIDES me and Jyou. *he pauses*
Yolei: Kind of.
Sora: I've been playing for two whole months!
Ken: How hard is it to hit a gong with a malet on command...?
Izzy: I thought the same thing when I signed up for the drums.
Tai: And the guitar.
Davis: Our band is going to sound very strange because of the...um...*scans the room*...VARIETY of musical instruments.
Mimi: But the show must go on!
Matt: Ug.
THAT NIGHT!!
Matt: *looking at his watch and pacing* Where are they?! ARGH!! *he spots a note on the table* Dear Matt, we're sorry but we can't go through with this. We suck at our instruments and we wish you the best. Signed, the group. P.S.- We called in substitutes. WHAT?! HOW COULD THEY?! *suddenly, the curtain goes up. Matt looks on the stage to see two stupid dinosaurs dancing around and hugging eggs knavishly.*
Dinosaur #1: You've got to smell them, feel them...Ohhhhh...crack them open! For a great, BIG nestfull I am HOPING.
Dinosaur #2: But Ozzi, what's the matter with a little vegetation?
Dinosaur #1: I've had it up to here with this aggrivation!
Dinosaur #2: But can't I just have this piece of a tree?
Dinosaur #1: *sounding derranged* WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE ME?! *then he starts throwing lame insults at Dinosaur #2 and how he doesn't like eggs.*
Matt: *slapping his forehead* I'M RUINED!!
Dinosaur #1: You've got to have eggs...THRICE a day at least!
Crickets: Chirp...*the two stupid dinosaurs walk off the stage. Since they're little and stupid, Matt just stomps on them on their way out.*
Matt: I'll never be able to show my face in public again.
Tai: MATT!! MATT!! *suddenly, the huge group runs up.* We're...um...we're sorry for calling those dinosaurs and shaming your name forever. But we decided to come back and perform! *he holds up his guitar*
Izzy: No one hears the drum ANYWAY, right?
Jyou: TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!
Mimi: And I couldn't deprieve all of those eager fans of my lovely voice, could I?
Sora: Don't worry Matt, I was with you the whole time! The other guys just FORCED me to come with them!
Davis: And I practiced.
Yolei: I've got my tamborine and I'm ready to go!
Cody: I still know how to hold the clarinet.
TK: And I can STILL play the Rescuers.
Kari: I practiced all night and now my flute makes the most beautiful sounds!
Ken: *hitting his gong.* Gong...
Matt: Thanks you guys but I think I'm STILL forever shamed...but I guess I can't get any more shamed than I am now.
Tai: THAT'S the spirit!!
Matt: *walking out onto the stage* Um...
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! *they start hurling tomatos and cabages at him*
Matt: Uh...Sorry about the act earlier...but now we have a real act...and they're not dinosaurs. *The crowd suddenly stops* So um...here they are! *The rest of the Digidestined come on the stage and wave nervously at the crowd.*
Izzy: Um...One! Two! Three! *there's a short pause* Um...START!! *they all start*
Tai: *only strumming the strings*
Izzy: *improving hitting different drums and the cymbals and stuff.*
Jyou: *playing the triangle ALL too professionally.*
Mimi: *singing 'Keep On' (WHY NOT?!)*
Sora: *playing some random song that's really easy and she's memorized*
Davis: *playing a scale up and down with the three notes.*
Yolei: *hitting the tambourine against her hip repeatedly and shaking it occassionally.*
Cody: *holding out one long note while holding down random buttons.*
TK: *R-E-S-C-U-E, Rescue Aid Society, heads held high touch the sky, you mean everything to me.*
Kari: *pretty much doing what Izzy's doing.*
Ken: *randomly hitting the gong whenever he feels it worthy*
Matt: *playing the right tune to Keep On and harmonizing it.*
Strangely enough, this missmatched collection sounded quite good all together. And soon, when Mimi reached the part where she had to say 'La la la...la la LA (continued) everyone joined in who could. Hm...that would be...Tai, Matt, Izzy, Jyou, Sora, Mimi, Yolei, Ken and TK. When the song is finally over, everyone stares at the crowd. The crowd looks at each other, shrugs and then starts applauding.
Matt: Okay, I guess it didn't sound all THAT bad. But I would have preferred if we had done this BEFORE the dinosaurs.
Random Audience Member: Great band, Matt! Though...we kind of like the other one better. Oh and the dinosaur act...it sucked. Never do them again. *she leaves*
Matt: I've learned something from today.
Ken: Oh and what's that?
Matt: I had no idea that dinosaurs were still alive let alone able to talk, sing and dance. *they all chuckle warmly as a black circle engulfs them*
