Backstage Pass - episode 16
by jo
Ok, since the last episode was so short and uneventful, we’re gonna spice things up. Picture this: It’s a humid evening and the twilight hangs low overhead, an ominous storm approaching...despite the threat of bad weather, 7 idiots decide to go camping. So, they take the biggest blankets they can find, hang them over the clothesline, and call it good. With sleeping bags in hand, they hike out to...the yard.
Yuki: Now, watch and learn ladies. *hanging a huge blanket over the clothesline*
jo: If I wanted to see someone do laundry, I’d...well, I’d go watch someone do laundry.
Yuki: Laundry? This is your tent, woman, so don’t complain!
Sarah: Yukihiro, I’m sleeping wherever you’re not.
jo: True dat!
Sakura: Word!
Hyde: Oh, dear lord, it’s Sakura!
Tetsu: Where have you been the fast pew episodes?
Sakura: Don’t you mean the past few?
Tetsu: What?
Sakura: Nothing...
Gackt: Well, now we have an equal amount of people, Four in one tent, four in the other.
jo: *clings to Gackt and pulls Hyde over*
Hyde: Lord save me...
Sarah: *clings to Gackt too*
Gackt: Well, that’s 4 people...
Tetsu: Aww, man...you can tell they’re the fun tent.
Sakura: We’ll have more fun than they can shake their peters at! *goes in the tent and comes out with a flashlight* We’re going to... *turns it on and puts it under his ugly mug* TELL GHOST STORIES!
jo: Oh, wow, impressive. But we’ve got Gackt, and there’s no limit to what we can do with such a hot guy! Beat that!
Tetsu: YUKIHIRO! Get the pocky.
Yuki: Sir, yes, sir! *runs into the house and comes out with pocky*
Tetsu: Pocky. Beat that.
Sarah: Hyde.
Tetsu: Ouija board!
jo: Um...GACKT!
Gackt: Ok, let’s just—
Ken: *comes driving up in his pimpmobile*
Everyone: *stare*
Ken: *starts pulling cases out of the trunk* We’ve got alcoholic beverages!
Yuki: Ha! Now *you* beat *that*!
jo: How about I beat *you*!
Yuki: *cries*
Hyde: Did someone say alcohol? *peeks out of the tent*
Sarah: No. *pushes him back in*
Ken: Yup, I raided the liquor store.
Sakura: Just like I taught him...my little boy’s growin’ up so fast...brings a tear to my eye! *sniff*
Yuki: Alright, let’s party!
Sarah: But we’re under age!
Ken: So?
jo: Some dad you are, Ken!
Ken: What?! I’m not your dad!
Hyde: It’s ok, I’ll stay sober with you.
Sarah: No, go ahead and get smashed.
jo: That’s right. We’ll be the designated drivers.
Sarah: But we don’t know how to drive...
jo: Hey, I can do what ever I want if I put my mind to it. Okay?!
Sarah: Whatever...but, something tells me that it’d be safer if a drunk was driving.
jo: You’ll pay.
Sarah: Will I?
jo: Just wait.
Sarah: Waiting.
Hyde: Um...are we camping yet?
*3 hours later*
Sakura: Watch Girl! Time!
jo: *Watch Girl looks at watch* Midnight. On the dot.
Sarah: Woohoo! Time for the REALLY SCARY stories...
Ken: The X-rated ones?!
Sarah: No.
Ken: Oh...
Yuki: I better be shakin’ in my boots, or I want my money back.
Hyde: But you’re not wearing boots...
Sakura: And you didn’t pay...
jo: Y’know...something’s weird.
Tetsu: It’s me, right?! YOU HATE ME! *sob*
jo: There, there, it’s ok...we don’t *all* hate you...
Gackt: So... What’s so weird?
Hyde: Yeah, tell us.
jo: Well, you guys don’t seem very drunk.
Sarah: Hm...that’s true.
Sakura: Yeah, I don’t feel drunk either...
Ken: That’s because...
Hyde: ...
Tetsu: ...
Yuki: ...
Sarah: ...
Gackt: ...
jo: Sea Salt!
Ken: It was...A TRICK! *bursts into tears*
Hyde: Um...I’m lost.
Gackt: Me too... Why is he crying like that?
Sarah: Uh...Ken? Are you...ok...?
Ken: Ok? OK?! *sob*
Yuki: Alright, he’s freakin’ me out. I’m going to my own tent. Slave boy, make haste! *snaps his fingers*
Tetsu: Coming! *follows*
Sakura: C’mon, Ken, let’s go...
Ken: No, the only place I’ll be going is the fiery depths of the underworld!
jo: What is wrong with you?! And what could they possibly want with you in hell?
Sarah: We can’t help you if you don’t help us, Ken.
Ken: Alright, the problem is...well, that’s not beer. *points*
Hyde: POISON! *drops the bottle and grabs his throat*
Ken: No, it’s just a little concoction I threw together to taste like beer! And wine. And all this other stuff!
jo: And that’s why you were crying?
Sakura: A little over emotional, are we?
Hyde: So you’re saying I’ve been drinking sugar water?
Ken: Vinegar water.... well, and some other stuff... That I found...
Hyde:...
Ken: Under the sink.
Hyde: POISON!
Yuki: *pops in* So I’m not drunk?!
Tetsu: *from outside the tent* I’m high on life!
Yuki: Get back in the tent!
Tetsu: Yes, master!
Ken: Well, don’t you wanna know why I didn’t get real alcohol?
Sarah: Oh, yeah, why?
jo: You’re not gonna make us guess, right?
Yuki: I can guess it!
Ken: I doubt it...
Yuki: Watch me!
Everyone: *stare*
Sakura: Pass the popcorn.
Yuki: Ken, you were too scared to rob a liquor store, weren’t you!
Gackt: I say good for you! You did the right thing, Ken.
Everyone: *stare*
Gackt: ...right. I’ll go back to watching.
jo: That’s right! Slaves are seen, but not heard.
Yuki: Yeah, tell that to Tetsu...
Tetsu: Tell what to Tetsu?
Yuki: I said stay in the tent, bitch!
Tetsu: EEK!
Sarah: Ok, anyway...
Hyde: Ken, we can sell this crazy potion you’ve cooked up! It’ll probably pass for real alcohol, as long as they don’t test it!
Gackt: Hyde?
Hyde: Yes?
Gackt: That is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.
Hyde: *sob*
Sakura: Well, Ken’s a pussy. Big whoop! Now, let’s get back to the fun!
Ken: *sob, sob, sob!*
Yuki: Whaddya mean...’fun’?! There’s no beer! If there’s no beer, there’s no fun. Trust me.
Sakura: Have I ever trusted you before?
Yuki: Probably not...
jo: Well, how about one more good ghost story before we go to our tents?
Sarah: Yay!
Yuki: Tetsu, you can come out!
Tetsu: Oh, boy! *comes in and lays down in the middle of everyone*
Hyde: ...
Gackt: Can I tell one?
Sarah: You can go after me!
jo: This better be scary..
Yuki: Yeah, or like I said, I’ll be demanding a refund!
Hyde: ...
jo: ((enough with the dots, Hyde...))
Hyde: ((sorry...hey, can we read minds?))
jo: ((we can do whatever I want us to do!))
Yuki: Oh, can we fly!
jo: Get outta my mind!
Yuki: My bad.
Sarah: Ok, everyone get ready...
Sakura: Ready for what?
Ken: Is it that scary? Perhaps it can take my mind off feeling sorry for myself...
Sarah: Yes, it’s that scary. Now you better get comfortable because once you hear it you’ll be too scared to move...
jo: *leans her head on Gackt’s shoulder*
Gackt: Sigh. These good looks are a curse...
Sakura: Oh, shove it.
Gackt: ...
Hyde: Can we just get on with it already!
Sarah: Oh, right. Sorry, now where was I...?
Everyone: *moves in closer*
Sarah: Ready?
Everyone: Ready!
Sarah: Ok...
Everyone: *stare*
Sarah: *takes a deep breath*
Everyone: *lean closer*
Sarah: *whispering* Once upon a time...
Everyone: ...
Sarah: ...
Everyone: ...
Sarah: The End.
Gackt: What?
jo: Hahahaha, get’s ‘em every time! Yes, to our viewers at home, this is a funny trick to play on your stupidest friends. Enjoy!
Hyde: Sigh...what a ripoff.
Sarah: Hey, I am not a ripoff!
Hyde: *rips her shirt off* Now you are!
Sarah: !
Yuki: Let someone who knows a good one tell it!
Tetsu: *shaking*
Ken: Are you having a seizure?
Tetsu: No... It’s just...that story...SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!
Ken: ...
Gackt: I’ll do one.
Yuki: Alright, but remember, I payed to see this!
Hyde: No you didn’t...
Gackt: Yeah, you forgot to. Now pay up.
Yuki: Really? Oh, musta slipped my mind... *hands Gackt some money*
Gackt: Heheh...now, for the scariest ghost story you ever heard. And it’s based on true events, so it’s even worse...
Ken: Get on with it!
Gackt: One day I was walking through the woods, and something jumped out of the bushes. It was Yukihiro! The end.
Yuki: Well, I never–! Gimme my money.
Gackt: But you never payed.
Yuki: Oh.
Sarah: Ok, this is getting boring, I’m going to sleep. Now get outta my tent!
Tetsu: Wait! I have a really good one. No joke. This is really scary.
Ken: Why do I doubt that?
Sakura: Ok, try us.
Tetsu: It was a dark and stormy night, just like this one...
Hyde: It’s not stormy...*it starts to rain all of a sudden* Ok.
Tetsu: Must you always contradict me?!
Hyde: ...um, thank you?
Tetsu: Wha... *looks around* ...me? Oh, wow! C’MERE! *grabs Hyde and hugs him*
Hyde: Tetsu, you’re choking me!! Air is good, damn you!
Sarah: Hey you too, quit acting out commercials! Get back to the story!
Tetsu: Sorry. *drops him* Right, where was I?
jo: The whole... dark and stormy bit.
Tetsu: Oh, of course. So, it was dark, it was stormy, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah friggen blah... And there were 8 people camping in their yard... *flickers flashlight*
Gackt: Oh, gimme a break...*rolls his eyes*
Tetsu: Then the pretty one said ‘Oh, gimme a break,’ and the monster came out of the bushes and commenced to ripping his throat out and strangling him with it!
Sakura: That’s impossible.
Tetsu: No, it’s not, so be quiet.
Sakura: ...
Tetsu: Then the one named Tetsu, the one that everyone loves, saved the day!
Sarah: ...
jo: ...
Gackt: ...
Sakura: ...
Hyde: ...
Ken: ...
Yuki: ....
Tetsu: What?
Sarah: Is that it?
Tetsu: Well...yeah.
jo: I think it was an epic tale of a heroic fighting so that I can rule the world! Let’s here it again.
Ken: Shut up, you weren’t even in it.
jo: Oh.
Gackt: It was just a few words, not even a story! And it wasn’t scary at all, it was just about you!
Tetsu: So? I don’t see a problem there!
Sakura: Open your eyes...
Hyde: I think it was petrifying.
jo: Yeah, what is my world coming to?!
Yuki: Well, I’ve been mortified. Good night everyone!
Everyone: Good night, Yukihiro! <(o^-^o)>
Yuki: *stare* Let’s, um...let’s not do that...anymore. Or...ever again.
Everyone: *stare*
Yuki: I will now exit the tent via unzipped doorway. *turns around and slams into the side of the tent because the door is zipped shut, and the force propels them down the huge mountain side that is jo and Sarah’s yard*
Hyde: Um, are we rolling down the yard in a tent?
Sakura: Well, if we are, it’s an awfully smooth ride.
Gackt: Yes. Yes, we are rolling down the yard. In a tent.
Yuki: ...oops?
OHMYGOSH! Will they ever break free of this never ending... roll?! Find out on the next episode of BPASS! YAYNESS!
And this is the end dammit!!
