...continued form part one...

===Part Four: Showtime at the Appaulling-o===

The rocket exploded into a great multi-colored
startburst/chrysanthumum style display. The crowd of tennyboppers
ooh'ed and ahh'ed and screamed their lungs out.

Another person screamed their lungs out. C'Pi went falling and falling
towards the staduim. Buffeted by the pockets of hot air, he was
granted the best view of the whole spectacle of anyone there. "I wish
I had some cruly chips right now!!!" he sighed.

As the firey pieces of the explosion gracefully danced their way
towards the arena, the space cube suddenly unfolded itself like a
flowery Christmas present and there on each of the 4 sides and one on
the forwardmost "petal" appeared N'Sync.

With one loud burst of energy from the crowd, and one extremely
painfully muffled collective goran from the backstage, RASSM Planet
welcomed the arrival of their soon-to-be conquerers.

N'Sync did a small countown and burst into a perfectly orchestrated
and coreographed version of "Pop".

The crowd swooned and cheered. Jade and Gumby frantically crawled out
from under the space cube and did their upmost to be inconspicuous as
they tiptoed off the side of the stage. They were noticed by a small
group of jealous boyfriends who had managed to sneak in and body
surfed the two Porkinites around the arena.

Our heros let the boys have some last moments of fun for a few bars,
before Alice crawled underneath the stage, and suddenly appeared in
front of N'Sync on the edge of the stage dressed in her Britney Spears
costume.

Somewhere backstage, PeterPika turned on the voice scrambler, and
Alice spoke into her microphone and looked Justin Timberlake square in
the eyes.

"You know you want me." She then began to dance about (towards Justin)
and started to sing a few bars of "Hit Me Baby One More Time".
Ewanuff, in a moment of temporary evilness, took a few snapshots for
posterity.

The crowd was in utter shock and sheer pleasure. A Britney/N'Sync
joint concert! They could hardly believe it!!! Justin Timberlake was
surprised but not in any way upset- he was quite happy to see his lady
love aftter so many weeks on the road.

The other members of N'Sync weren't too happy about it. Three of them
kept singig but with a slightly annoyyed edge to it. AJ stopped
singing all together and blurted out for all to hear: "Yo that's it
man! I can't take this anymore! You and that bitch are SO upstaging
the rest of us! Why is it always 'Justin adn Britney Justin and
Britney'!!!"

Everyone else seemed hurt by this but "Britney" sauntered over to AJ
and put her arm around him and whispered something in his ear. He
immediately perked up and said "OH well if you put it *that* way..."
He put his arm around her waist and "Britney got a very smug look on
her face. Justin looked a little hurt and so she gave him saturated
saccarine smile and offered to hug him with her other arm. The three
of them then resumed singing what was now a N/Sync/Britney Spears
double duet of "I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman" and "Celebrity". The
crowd was loving it.

===Part Five: Attention Fans, Due to Circumstances...===

From their various positions, the Jigglypuffs were scowling. "Would
you look at them? Kids all kids," Ewanpuff spat.

"Amateurs, all of them," agreed Ianpuff.

They listened to the crowds scream and swoon in record numbers. A
shimmy by "Britney" caused an uproar and the poor 'Puffs had to cover
their ears.

"Well now, shall we put them out of their misery?" Seanpuff screamed
above the din.

"I don't think Alice can take it any longer. I sure as hell can't,"
Ianpuff answered back.

"Ready?!"

"YES!"

Hamillpuff signaled to PeterPika by displacing a floodlight on the
nearby railing. With a slightly evil and mostly excited grin,
PeterPika cut off all 4 of N'Sync's microphones and actived 4 new
ones.

Jumping down from various places high above the stage, and landing
with graceful synchronized acrobatics, the PokeWorld-renowned
Jigglypuff Singers landed on the stage in front of N'Sync and greeted
the corwd.

The video screens and cameras all focused on the 4 Jigglypuffs who all
smiled and waved, their little microphone/pens glittering with new
polish and the Jigglypuffs' magic eyes lighting up with a warm glow.

N'Sync was royally pissed off and the crowd would have been glad that
their micrphones had been killed if they had heard one breath ofhte
vicious obscenities they showed.

"YOU! You POKEMON!!!!! YOU AGAIN! YOU @(*&#*@%#@%&*#@&*&@ ANIMALS!!
GET THE F*CK OFF OUR STAGE!" They cried. Alice, keeping with the
charade, and said a few choice "unladylike things" of her own (tho not
directed towards her Jigglypuffs).

Seanpuff looked pleased with their effect on both the swearing N'Sync
and the booing crowd, and with triumphant confidence, he raised his
microphone to his lips:

"Ladies and gentlemen, loyal fans and over-paying patrons. Due to
circumstances beyond the control of the management, tonight's line up
has been changed.
"Tonight, direct from PokePlanet, the fantastic, the astounding,
JIGGLYPUFF SINGERS!!!! A-one two three-"

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Shouted one of the boy band boys. "You ain't taking
over our show you-"

-Hamillpuff quickly signaled to PeterPika to turn on the guy's
microphone-

"-mutha(#^$^ little pieces of (*#%%&@!*@#). Why don't you (#&$& on
your mothers' )(&#*&$^ graves!!!!"

The crowd went silent. Surely one of their sweet, romantic, wholesome,
sexy, heartthob idols didn't just majorly cuss out 4 cute little
Jigglypuffs in front of 400,000 giggly underage teenage girls and the
little siblings they were supposed to be baby-sitting!

The guilty singer looked out at the audience in sheer horror. The
other N'Sync members started in on him and no sooner had they started,
then PeterPika turned on their microphones as well and within an
instant, their own obscenities were beign shouted in surround sound at
ridiculously high decibels.

The crowd began to gasp in disbelief. The girls began to blush and
gape. Their little brothers and sisters (who already didn't wanna be
there) started crying and pitching bloddy hell. The shocked and upset
teenyboppers all tried unsuccessfully to shush their little siblings
and N'Sync began to feeluncommonly uncomfortable onstage.

A couple of them began to sneak back into the space cube when Alice
pulled out a gun (don't ask where she hid it okay? No nothing that
your Momma couldn't talk about in public...) at them.

"Oh no you don't! I dont' think y'all will be going ANYwhere for quite
some time!" She said with a wide grin.

Justin was heartbroken and AJ tried to scream. "YOU'RE not Britney!!!"
wailed Justin.

"Yo DU-UH!!!! You really think your sweet little so-called virgin
would really hit on AJ in front of you?"

A few members of the crowd began to make sounds like "Well..."

Justin fell to his knees and began to cry. "Please don't take my fans
away from me!! I'll be a good boy I promise!! You and your Pokemon can
have all the market you want on your home planet! Just please let me
finish this concert!!!" He secretly crossed his fingers behind his
back.

It was pathetic, but it was enough to get all the crying little
siblings to perk up and start cheerign for the Pokemon. The 'Puffs
waved to their adoring young crowd. The teenage girls were too busy
crying over how cute Justin looked when he was begging to notice.

But while everyone was fixated on Justin and the Pokemon, AJ had snuck
up behind Alice and was about to club her in the head with his
microphone. Just then, C'Pi came screaming down on top of him and made
a huge crater in the stage as they both fell into the covered-up
orchestra pit down below.

Ah, but *you* took the trip! I didn't know if you had any insights
into your journey that the casual observer might not know about.

Uh, does that mean that HP 4 added to the "not really" or was it the
exception?

Everything was very small then everything got very big, and then everything
went dark.

No, I enjoyed the book. The not really fun part was spending two weeks with
my wife's relatives. It could have been worse. I could have been spending
two weeks with my relatives.

> (I've only seen the movie and I'm not a "won over" fan yet)

I enjoyed the movie. (More than LOTR, but shhhh don't tell anyone. Some
people around here might get upset.) I didn't think much of the first book,
but I think that 2-4 are good. The writing seems to get better with each
book.

I liked the effects of the movie quite a bit, I'm just not sure it

I was very hesitant to read the books also, especially since they were
"children's books". My ten year old son has always been crazy about the
books. After seeing the movie I decided to go ahead and read them. The
stories are entertaining and fun to read. Since they are children's books
they're not heavy reading and don't take long to finish. And best of all
they are not crapy Star Wars books that never should have been written in
the first place.

Hmm...sounds good to me! I'll look into it, but I need to finish some
stuff I got here first.

Thanks!
