Faith has focus.

"Yoohoo?? Faaaiiith?? Earth to Faithy here! Come in Faith?"

Just not now apparently.

"You listening or what?"

Faith looks up at the camera.

Faith: "Yea Nik, I'm listening."

The scene before us is what can only be described as bizarre. Faith stands before us, her blonde hair in two plaits down her back and wearing a knee-length blue plaid dress. She clutches a small wicker basket with a black teddy of a...well...of something poking over the side. She stands outside somewhere, the sky clear and the calming twitter of birds sounding from a forest behind. The scene actually looks vaguely familiar.

Kash Money (from off screen) : "OK - run this by me again. Why are you here?"

Faith: "'Cause Nikkon had an idea for a promo."

Kash: "So why is Nikkon here?"

Faith: "'Cause I owed him a favour and he wanted to shoot it."

Kash: "So why are me and 'Klipse here?"

Faith: "Err...'Cause you love me and want to help?"

Nikkon (from off screen) : "Err...Guys? You wanna shut up?"

Faith: "Oh, sorry."

Following Nikkon's order, everyone - on screen and off - becomes silent. As if waiting for something, Faith begins to look around idly, swaying from side to side and holding her basket by her side. She fiddles with one of her plaits until Nikkon, from behind the camera, begins to speak again

Nikkon: "Yo Faith! Remember what we discussed?"

Faith: "Oh yea! Soz."

She suddenly changes stance, standing now slightly pigeon-toed and clutching her basket with both hands in front of her.

Nikkon: "Right..."

He clears his throat.

Nikkon: "...There was once a girl called Dorothy who was very nice and polite and pretty and..errr...stuff."

Come on - you knew it was leading to this. Faith smiles, wrinkling her nose slightly, and giggles at the compliment which was technically not about her.

Nikkon: "But something happened and she was transported to this other place called Oz."

Faith: "My my, this doesn't look like Kansas."

Kash: "That's not the line."

Faith quickly breaks character, turning away from the camera and to her left.

Faith: "Shut up!"

Kash: "Nikkon - Tell her to say the line properly!"

Nikkon: "Say the line Faithy."

Faith: "You are so dead, Kash!"

She rolls her eyes and turns back to the camera, once again assuming her 'Dorothy' stance.

Faith: "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

Kash: "Now was that so hard?"

Faith scowls, threatening to break out of character again but doesn't.

Nikkon: "So anyways, she ended up in Oz and was all alone and scared and stuff until these little dudes-"

Eklipse: "-Munchkins-"

Nikkon: "-What?-"

Eklipse: "-The little dudes were Munchkins-"

Nikkon: "-Ok, munchkins then- Until these little munchkins all told her that if she wanted to go home she had to go see the Wizard of Oz. So as she was walking along this road thing she came to a scarecrow-"

Nothing.

Nikkon: "A scarecrow-"

Nothing.

Nikkon: "Yo Kash - get your ass up there!"

Kash: "No way."

Nikkon: "You said you'd do it!"

Kash: "No I didn't!"

Nikkon: "Well Faith said you would!"

Kash: "Well I ain't."

Faith: "Please Kash?"

Kash: "Back me up here 'Klipse?"

Eklipse: "Ok!"

Suddenly, the usually very sophisticated Mr Kash Money staggers into view from the left. But he doesn't look too sophisticated right now, for he is dressed - you guessed it! - like a scarecrow. The baggy shirt. The farmer's hat. The straw poking out from his pockets, cuffs and hat. The full works! He quickly turns and scowls back to where he just came from.

Kash: "I didn't mean push me!!"

Eklipse: "I know."

Kash: "What?!"

Eklipse: "I said, I didn't understand."

Kash, not looking too pleased, rolls his eyes and stands annoyed with his arms folded - which is, as you can imagine, very amusing considering his dressed as a scarecrow!

Kash: "This is stupid!"

Now it's Faith - who can't stop giggling at Kash's get up and obvious discomfort - who breaks out of character.

Faith: "Yea! Not to mention irrelevant!"

We hear Nikkon gasp from behind the camera.

Nikkon: "Irrelevant?! Mayhem's in Kansas City. Dorothy comes from Kansas. Geddit?"

Kash:"No?"

Nikkon: "Trust me - it's leading somewhere."

Faith's shoulders drop wearily, but she grabs the black teddy thing from her basket.

Faith: "And what's this supposed to be??"

Eklipse:"I believe that is ToTo."

Faith: "But ToTo was a little black dog - not a..a...what is this exactly?"

Nikkon: "A..err...furry crocodile."

A funny look from both Faith and Kash.

Nikkon: "Well the store was out of dogs. Anyway, shut up and let me carry on."

Faith again resumes her Dorothy pose but Kash remains with his arms folded, as if he could possibly looked stupider than he already does.

Nikkon: "Yea so the Scarecrow wanted a brain..."

Mr Money sighs.

Kash: "I want a brain."

Nikkon: "So he decided to like go along with Dorothy and stuff. So then they were walking and they came to a tin-man!"

On comes Eklipse now, dressed in full tin-man gear! Well, I say 'full tin-man gear', in actual fact he's just wrapped in tin foil. Nonetheless, he walks on with his arms and legs straight and wobbling from side to side in true tin-man fashion.

Nikkon: "See, 'Klipse has got the idea."

Kash: "Oh shut up."

Nikkon: "So the Tin-Man wanted a heart."

Eklipse: "Oh Dorothy! I have longed for a heart for so long! I wish for one with all my..err...heart - if I had one, which I don't and that's why I want one so badly! And if you could help me I would be so happy and-"

Nikkon: "Ok ok don't milk it!"

Eklipse: "It's called acting."

Nikkon: "It's called shutting up. Right, so anyways, they carried on their way and soon they came to aaaaaaaaaaa....."

Time for the lion! And so Nikkon jumps onto the screen, joining his friends, and sure enough he's dressed as a lion. And it's times like this we worry about Nikkon's dressing up habit.

Nikkon: ".....Lion!"

Kash: "See, how come you got to be the lion and I had to be the scarecrow-thing?"

Nikkon: "Well Faith's a girl so she's Dorothy, I'm the toughest so I'm the Lion, Eklipse is the shortest so we didn't need as much kitchen foil and you're the only one who fit the scarecrow costume!"

Eklipse: "Yea right - you just wanted Faith to dress up for you!"

Nikkon (cutting him off) : "Moving on!"

He looks away, covering his mouth with his hand oh-so-inconspicuously as he continues narrating. Faith rolls her eyes.

Faith: "They know it's you talking, y'know."

Eklipse: "How did Jake get out of this?"

Kash: "Favouritism."

Faith: "No!"

Nikkon: "Excuse me - back in character please?"

The 'cast' compose themselves, all returning to their character - except Kash of course.

Nikkon: "So yea, they all overcame the obstacles and did their best and stuff and they all got what they wanted. Now, does this sound familiar?"

Kash: "No?"

Eklipse: "No."

Nikkon: "Well Faith gets it."

Faith: "Errr....No I don't."

Nikkon rolls his eyes and sighs, as if it's deadly obvious what the connection between FWW and 'The Wizard of Oz' is.

Nikkon: "Little girl, has lots of friends backing her up, overcomes stuff, gets what she wants in the end? Duh! It's Faithy and the rest of us! And together, Generation Elite is unstoppable."

Faith: "Ohh, I get it! And Joe Stallone is nothing but another obstacle in my way. And one that I intend to overcome!"

Nikkon: "Exactly."

Kash: "Did we really have to dress up just to show that?!"

Nikkon: "I thought it'd be fun."

Kash looks as if he's about to dive on the smirking Nikkon, leaving Eklipse with no option but to restrain him. Faith merely ignores this and starts inspecting her 'dog'/crocodile.

Nikkon: "Come on! You can't say it wasn't fun!"

Kash shakes his head angrily, storming away from the group and off the screen. Eklipse follows, still walking with his arms and legs straight - actually rather worrying in the sense he isn't actually acting. Faith drops her 'dogodile' back into her basket and looks thoughtfully at the ground.

Faith: "Y'know though Nik, I can't just click my heels together three times and have the victory. I can't just click and have that Universal title around my waist."

Nikkon: "Well duh! You're not wearing your ruby slippers!"

Nikkon too leaves the scene, shaking his head as well, but this time in disappointment at Faith for not knowing this oh-so-obvious fact. And the question arises: does Nikkon known the difference between make-believe and reality?

Faith: "Good point though, Joe Stallone is another obstacle in my way to the top. And I always overcome my obstacles. There's no doubting he's a worthy opponent, so I'll just have to go that one step further. Give that little bit more. Be faster. Stronger. Smarter. And I will."

She pauses, then suddenly cocks her head to the side.

Faith: "That would sound so much better if I weren't dressed like this."

And so Faith too leaves the scene, tossing her basket to the floor and resisting the urge to skip whilst in that get-up.

And so it becomes clear.

Faith does have focus. Does have skill. Does have aggression.

She just doesn't have acting skills.
