The First Annual MI Christmas Panto Saga!

[Fleur]

Fleur strides out onto a small platform in a crowded room behind the great hall.

Fleur: HELLO! And thanks for turning up! You all now have parts in the
CHRISTMAS PANTO!
Aren't you pleased?!

The MIers look round at each other nervously

Fleur: oh yes, thats right.. don't have pantos in America right? Well I found this useful little article (http://www.lakenheath.af.mil/Jet48/113001/community2.htm) which will explain it for you! Ok, I am the director, and I have chosen SLEEPING BEAUTY! If you are alien to the plot, click here (http://www.radix.net/~koalatek/sbplot.html) for a very lengthy summary or here (http://www.allwatchers.com/topics/info_13985.asp) for a short one (or find your own :p)

Fleur gets out a big scroll

Fleur: Here is the list of Characters! First come, first pick!

The Three GOOD fairies:
Flora
Fauna

The BAD fairy: (BOOO!)
Maleficent

King Stefan (Aurora's dad)

King Hubert (Philip's dad)

Fleur: And of course, anyone that doesnt want to join in can go sit in the audience! As you may know, the audience has quite a lot to do in pantos.. Fleur takes a peek into the Great Hall

Fleur: Woah! It's filling up!

Fleur zaps herself into purple breeches and coat, suitable attire for a panto, and steps out onto the stage...

Fleur: WELCOME BOYS AND GIRLS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO THE FIRST ANNUAL MI CHRISTMAS PANTO SAGA!

[Fleurdelacour]

PANTO! :D Do we even get z-list celebrities?! ;)

My first panto was when I was in the Brownies! lol it was Cinderella! haha!

(Yes, I should have been reading FotR, but I needed to sleep, now I'm hyper! weee!! 7 DAYS!) :d

[Ravenclaw]

OOoooOOOOooooh! Coolio!

Booing is cool. It's the sweetest noise to my ears...

EvilfairyEvilfairyEvilfairyEvilfairyEvilfairyEvilf airyEvilfairyEvilfairyEvilfairy

I think I've made my point quite clear.

:)

[Fleur]

Fleur rushes back in

Fleur: OK! The audience are all here... Madame Hooch is warming them up by making them sing christmas carols!

We better start soon! Characters can be added in as we go!

Fleur starts pushing Fleur and Rave onto the stage

FleurD: erm, I think I might need to... do some sort of.. preparation?

Rave: Yeah.. or a costume?!

Fleur tuts impatiently, zaps them into a beautiful dress and very sexy evil fairy dress

Fleur: (to Rave) Now remember, you're very bitter that you didn't get invited to Princess Aurora's Christing, right? SO you're reeeaally mad.

FleurD: A Christning? Don't we need.. a baby?

Fleur: good point. Conjures a Tiny Tears Doll This'll do!

[Colli]

I read the article.. but I'm still quite confused. :p

Seeing as the evil fairy is taken ;), I'll go with Flora.

[Rivenlas]

I'll be Fauna. I'd love to be in a real one of those...

[Elfëa]

I wanna be fairy - good fairy :p

But I haven't got a slightest clue what's Panto about :o

[Cedric]

I'm not gonna try to understand this, so I think I'll just be the annoying guy audience who always laughs at the wrong time and talks way to loud....



I'm waiting.

-Cedric

[Kristin]

Ooh! Oh! Let me be the *front* half of the panto cow! :D I can moo real well.

MOOOOoooOoOoO!!!!!!

[Fleur]

OK!

*off topic* I still can't believe Americans don't haave Pantomines. Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without them!

*on topic*

Casting is as follows:

Sleeping Beauty - Fleurdelacour

Maleficent - Ravenclaw

Flora - Colli

Fauna - Rivenlas

Merryweather - Elfëa

Front of Panto Cow - Kristin

Hmm that's all the really major ones.. still need a PRINCE CHARMING though....

Anyways, here we go!

The Curtains Open

Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are on stage, around a cradle with a tiny tears doll in it...

[Elfëa]

Oh, panto= pantomine.

Now I know what we're doing :D

Good :D :D :D

What am I wearing?

[Ravenclaw]

Christmas comes with Tiny Tears...

Ahem... enough singing...

ANYWAYS back on topic....

Maleficent cackles menacingly backstage, waiting for a cue, any cue at all.......???

[Seriphus]

Serphy sneaks in and sits at the back of the audience

Made it just about on time. :D I don't think I've been to a panto since I left the brownies. :p

[Fleur]

ONSTAGE:

Colli: looks into the cradle Gracious! Is that a baby? Looks more like a pig. I know... my gift shall be a gift of great beauty!

A horrible screeching starts

Rivenlas: What is that??? Oh dear, I will give the gift of a beautiful voice!

Elfëa: And I shall give the gift of...

BANG!

A huge puff of glittery smoke reveals Ravenclaw, looking very angry indeed...

OFFSTAGE:

Kristen: MOOOO!

Fleur: Kristen, you really should wait until you get onstage.

Kristen: Mooo?

[Elfëa]

Wow... I get to say the good curse - the sleeping one...

hope I won't get too sleepy before it :eek:

[Colli]

Wow! I look great onstage!

I still don't have a clue what's going on. ;)

[Ravenclaw]

Ravenclaw (evil fairy Maleficent): ARGH! How DARE you not invite me to your Christmas party!

Audiance
Cedric: A Ha ha ha ha... ha?

Seriphus: Shut up. BOOOOOOOO!
End Audiance

Rivenlas: We aren't having a Christmas party.

Ravenclaw: But it says here--

Colli: That says CHRISTENING!

Ravenclaw: Right. Well, then, How DARE you not invite me to your Christening party!

Elfëa: Oh yeah? Well what are you going to do about it?

Ravenclaw: Good question. Gimme a second to think, now, I AM an evil fairy after all, I should be able to come up with something.... AH! I know! That little screaming thing in that cradel that you people dare to call a baby will prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her seventeenth birthday!

Dramatic pause.

Colli: That's... it???

Ravenclaw (glaring at her): Of course that's it! Isn't that evil enough for you? Well I better be off!

Ravenclaw readies herself to disappear in a cloud of smoke. Just before she leaves, she says:

Ravenclaw: Oh yeah, and I forgot. She will die when she pricks her finger.

**POOF!**

And the evil fairy was gone...

[Seriphus]

BOOO!
HISS. :p

[BloodFire]

I'll be Prince Charming! MEMEMEMEMEME!!! :D

[Fleur]

OFFSTAGE:

Fleur: Yes! I think they are getting the concept of a pantomime now! Just hope the audience do.

Kristen: Moooo :)

ONSTAGE:

Flora: Oh NO! all our good spells are going to go to waste on her 17th birthday! Darn it and I could have used that magic to conjure up Orlando Bloom for my birthday next month!

From the audience
Seriphus: Woohoo!

Cedric: hmph. :rolleyes:
end

Rivenlas: well Merryweather could-

Elfëa: Conjure up Orlando Bloom?!?!?! :D

Rivenlas: Errrm, no. You know, like, break the spell?

Elfëa: But Orlando!

Rivenlas: NO!

Elfëa: Oh ok then...

prepares to break the spell...

[Rivenlas]

Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!! Wait...I didn't write any of those lines! I would have conjured up Orlando in a second..of course, not on stage...he'd be offstage to wipe the sweat from my brow...and to give me a good luck kiss!

*evil grin*:devil:

[Elfëa]

Wow...

did I just say something intelligent? ;) :o
