FanFic - The Power Of Rock

[LadyFlame]

Thought I'd share this fanfic that I wrote a couple of months ago (please be gentle, I'm kinda nervous about sharing this).  I've written it in script form and it's set before The Big Comet Caper.  It's about 14 pages long, so I'll split it into parts.  If you want to read more after this first part, let me know.  If not, I won't post any more of it.  Hope that's an OK way to work it.  Anyway, here we go with Part 1.

THE POWER OF ROCK
by LadyFlame

NARRATOR:  Greetings, readers!  You join us on a sunny Saturday morning in Little Tokyo.  The usual weekend crowds are out and about but there’s more of a buzz in the air than normal, the reason for which you’ll find out in a minute.  It’s eleven o’clock and here in the pizza parlour, the Samurai Pizza Cats are running around like crazy things, trying to deal with the mass of customers demanding attention.

SPEEDY {looks up from what he’s doing}:  Hey, that’s not our usual narrator!  Where is he?  Who are you?

NARRATOR:  Oh, I’m sorry; I don’t think we’ve met before.  My name’s LadyFlame, I wrote this fanfic and I’m your narrator today.  Your usual guy called in sick, so the producers asked me to take over.

SPEEDY:  Oh; well, hi there.  Nice to meet you.

NARRATOR:  And you.

SPEEDY:  OK, now that we’re done with the introductions, can we get back to the story?

NARRATOR:  Of course!  Here we go…
Just then, a female cat with marmalade-coloured fur, brown eyes, a red kimono, blonde hair tied up on top of her head and a guitar case in her hand walks in and goes up to the counter.

FRANCINE:  Good morning!  How can we help you spend your money today?

BLONDE CAT:  I’d like to talk to Guido a minute; is he free?

FRANCINE:  He sure is.  {leans in closer and winks}  He’s never too busy to talk to a pretty girl!

BLONDE CAT:  Good.  Would you tell him his sister’s here, please?

FRANCINE:  His sister?  Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise.  Hold on…{blinks a few times before finally realising who the girl is} Dusty!  I didn’t recognise you with your hair done up like that!  How are you?

{Speedy and Polly have been listening to this conversation while they work}

POLLY:  Dusty?  The Dusty Anchovy?  {grins and runs up to Dusty, giving her a hug} It’s so great to see you, it’s been ages!  {turns towards the kitchen}  Guido, come on out a minute; Dusty’s here!

{Guido runs out of the kitchen to see his sister standing there with the others}

GUIDO:  Dusty!  How’s it going?  {a group hug ensues}

DUSTY:  Aw guys, it’s so cool to see you all again.  It’s been way too long!

GUIDO:  I know!  So what are you doing here?

DUSTY:  Well, tonight’s the last night of the Bluebelles’ tour, so I thought I’d pay you all a visit while I’ve got some free time today.

POLLY:  Tonight?  I thought it was next week that you guys finished!

DUSTY:  Well, it’s not; it’s tonight and I’ve got tickets for you all here.

POLLY:  So that’s what everyone’s been so excited about today!  I was starting to wonder if they knew something I didn’t.

NARRATOR:  Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Hold on a second!  I think you guys need to explain to the readers what you’re talking about!

SPEEDY:  Well, Dusty’s got her own rock band called Dusty and the Bluebelles.  They’ve been together for three years and they’re the biggest band in Little Tokyo right now.  Dusty’s the lead singer and guitarist.  My sister Miranda’s in the band too - she plays the drums.  Then there’s their rhythm guitarist Christine Edwards, their keyboard player Alana Grace…

GUIDO: And last but not least, their bass player…{goes all dreamy} the beautiful Kimberley Slade.

SPEEDY {rolls his eyes}:  Oh, dream on, Guido!  She probably doesn’t even know you exist!

DUSTY:  Actually, Speedy, Kimberley’s a huge fan of Guido’s.

GUIDO {genuinely surprised}:  Really?

DUSTY:  Uh-huh.  She’s had a major crush on you for years and she keeps asking me when she’s going to get to meet you.  Well, tonight’s the night for it.  {hands out envelopes to everyone}  I’ve got hold of backstage passes for you all, as well as tickets.  The show starts at 8:30 and we’re on at 9:30, after the warm-up band.  {checks her watch}  Listen, I’d better go now - I told the girls I’d meet them at the market.  We haven’t had any retail therapy in months and we need some!  See you later!

ALL:  Bye!

{Dusty picks up her guitar case, waves and walks out}

GUIDO:  Wow, I can’t believe it!  I’m actually going to meet Kimberley Slade tonight!

POLLY:  Yeah, well, that’s for tonight. Right now we’ve got a pizza parlour full of people who need feeding, so GET BACK TO WORK! {waves a saucepan threateningly above her head, at which point Speedy and Guido run back out onto the main floor of the parlour}

GUIDO {quietly, to Speedy}:  OK, that’s it!  We’re getting her some anger management classes for her next birthday.

SPEEDY:  Yeah.

To be continued (maybe)

[LadyFlame]

OK guys, I sent the full version of the story to Violet and after her very kind comments (thanks, Vi), I've decided to post the rest of it in parts.  Here's Part 2.  Enjoy!


NARRATOR:  Meanwhile, at his headquarters, the Big Cheese is reading the morning newspaper and whining because he didn’t get a ticket for the Bluebelles’ gig – yes, he’s a fan too.  Jerry Atrick is sitting in the corner of the room, listening patiently.  How does he put up with all that complaining?

CHEESE:  Bah, it’s not fair, Jerry!  Why did I have to get to the box office just as the gig sold out?  It was my turn and they shut the till on me!  It’s just not fair!

JERRY:  Calm down, Seymour; you weren’t to know the tickets would sell so fast.  Besides, I’ve come up with a way to use the band to defeat those Samurai Pizza Cats once and for all.

CHEESE:  You have?  Oh, that’s brilliant, Jerry!  What do you have in mind?

JERRY:  My spies tell me that two of the Pizza Cats have sisters in the band.  All we have to do is capture the girls and use them as bait to lure the Pizza Cats to us, then while they’re distracted we can finish them off.

CHEESE:  So simple and yet so clever.  When do you plan to carry out this scheme?

JERRY:  Bad Bird and the Ninja Crows are in the market right now.  The girls have talked in interviews before about how much they love shopping, so it’s the perfect place.  This is what they’re going to do…

**********

NARRATOR:  At lunchtime, Dusty and the others are wandering round the market spending their money like there’s no tomorrow.  Suddenly, Kimberley spots a stall selling plush toys, including…

KIMBERLEY:  Oh, look!  They’ve got Pizza Cats cuddly toys!  How cool are they?

ALANA:  Don’t you have all of those already, Kim?

KIMBERLEY:  Not any more; I lost all of mine in that fire at my house last year, remember?  I’ve been looking for replacements ever since and I’ve never been able to find any.  Let’s have a look.

{The band head over to the stall.  Kimberley picks up the Guido cuddly toy first}

KIMBERLEY:  Isn’t he so cool?  {hugs the toy lovingly with a soppy look on her face}

MIRANDA {laughing}:  Of course!  I should’ve guessed you’d go for that one first.  These are really cool, actually; I might get some to take on the next tour.  {to the seller}  How much are these each?

SELLER:  For you girls, they’re $5 each.

CHRISTINE:  Excellent!  We’ll take some!

{The girls hand over their money and each take a set of three toys}

MIRANDA:  Thank you very much, we’ve been looking for these for ages.

SELLER:  Actually, I’ve got some more in my van here.  Would you like to see them?

ALANA:  Yes please, that’d be great!

SELLER:  Follow me, then.

{The girls follow the seller, who takes them to his van and opens the doors at the back to let them look inside}

MIRANDA:  Wow, look at these!  I could spend a fortune in here!  C’mon girls, let’s have a good look at what this guy’s got!

{They all climb inside the van and, as they’re looking around, they hear the doors slamming shut}

KIMBERLEY:  Hey, what happened?  {thumps the side of the van to get the seller’s attention}  Hey, Mr, we’re stuck!  Let us out!

NARRATOR:  Suddenly, the girls hear an evil laugh from just above and realise that they’ve been tricked.  That’s no market seller they’ve been dealing with – it’s actually…

BAD BIRD:  Yes, it’s me!  I knew you bimbos would fall for my trick because you’ve all got such a soft spot for those Pizza Cats!  Now you’ll be the bait we need to catch them and finish them off once and for all!

DUSTY {laughing}:  Oh, please, Bad Bird; have you finally flipped?  My brother and his pals will beat you no problem!  And by the way, just because Christine and I happen to be blonde, it doesn’t make us bimbos, OK?

{Bad Bird does not reply but drives off}

CHRISTINE:  Boy, that guy must have some serious issues with women!

To be continued (definitely!)   

[LadyFlame]

OK, here goes with Part 3 - just a very short one this time.


NARRATOR:  At the pizza parlour three hours later, things are quiet.  Francine is checking the mail when she comes across something unusual.

FRANCINE {waves letter at the others}:  Guys, check this out; it hasn’t got an envelope!  That’s kinda weird.

POLLY:  What does it say?  Let me see.  {takes it out of Francine’s hand and begins to read.  A shocked look spreads across her face}

SPEEDY:  What’s wrong, Polly?  What’s it about?

POLLY {reading aloud}:  “To the Pizza Cats: we have the Bluebelles at our headquarters.  If you want to see them again, come here immediately.  No funny stuff.”  {puts letter down on counter}  Well, no prizes for guessing who’s behind this! 

GUIDO:  That means they’ve got Dusty and Kimberley!

SPEEDY:  And Miranda too!

POLLY:  Well, not for long!  C’mon guys, we’ve got five rock stars to save!

ALL:  Let’s go!

{The Cats run to the ovens, jump in and get ready to head out into battle.  As the cannon is readied for launch, Francine makes one of her usual announcements}

FRANCINE:  Attention, citizens of Little Tokyo!  The Pizza Cats are on their way to sort out a family emergency!  For your own safety, please stay behind the yellow line until after the launch.  And remember this week’s special offer: buy one large pizza and get a plate of garlic bread half price.  Thank you!  Here goes.

{Francine launches the Pizza Cats in their normal order: Speedy first, followed by Polly and then Guido.  As they fly through the air, Speedy notices something unusual}

SPEEDY:  I don’t believe it; she actually launched us in the right direction this time!

POLLY:  That makes a change!

{Mama-san and Junior are watching all of this on the ground below}

JUNIOR:  Mom, do you think they’ll be able to sort out whatever it is that’s wrong?

MAMA-SAN:  I hope so, dear, otherwise there’ll be no concert tonight.  Apparently Dusty and the Bluebelles have been captured and that’s where the Pizza Cats are going.  I read the script earlier on and that’s how I know.

JUNIOR:  Can I go tonight, Mom?

MAMA-SAN:  No, son, you’re too young yet.  Besides, the tickets sold out before I could get you one.

JUNIOR {disappointed}:  Awww!

To be continued...

[Violet]

You should have come up with a rhyme for Francine.    That's her thing, ya know.

[LadyFlame]

You should have come up with a rhyme for Francine.    That's her thing, ya know.

I should've but I couldn't really think of one, to be honest.  Thanks for the feedback anyway!    Here's Part 4, the start of the big fight scene.


NARRATOR:  Meanwhile, in a room at the top of the Big Cheese’s headquarters, Dusty and the rest of the girls are making an escape attempt.  Dusty is kneeling by the door, picking the lock with a metal nail file.  Finally, the lock gives and the door is ready to open.

DUSTY:  See, this is why I always carry this thing with me.  It’s handy for emergencies.

CHRISTINE:  I know; it’s lucky you had it.  Now how do we get out of this place without being seen?

ALANA:  No need to worry about that – look!  {points out of the window, where the Pizza Cats are flying through the air}

MIRANDA:  Hey, it’s Speedy and the others!  How did they know we were here?

KIMBERLEY:  Who cares?  They’re on their way to save us!  {smiles}  Now I’ll finally get to meet Guido.  {becomes serious}  I reckon they’ll need our help taking care of what’s in store for them, though.  Everybody stand back!

{Kimberley runs towards the door and uses a flying kick to break it down}

KIMBERLEY:  Let’s rock!  {The girls run out of the room and head down the stairs}

NARRATOR:  On the next floor of the building, the Pizza Cats are fighting their way through a horde of Ninja Crows.  Fortunately, this doesn’t prove too hard and they’re soon in the main room.  They look around for a sign of the band but there isn’t one.

POLLY:  Where do you suppose we should start looking for them?

SPEEDY {points to three corridors outside}:  We should split up and take one corridor each.  We’ll have more of a chance that way.

{Suddenly they hear a voice calling from one of the corridors.  It sounds like Dusty but it’s hard to tell.  She appears in the doorway of the middle corridor, with Kimberley behind her.  The others appear in the other two doorways}

GUIDO:  Dusty?  Are you OK?

{She doesn’t reply and that’s when Guido realises something’s not right.  He catches a glimpse of something in her face}

GUIDO:  Hold on…{sees her eyes flashing red} That’s not Dusty, that’s a robot!  {notices that all the girls have red eyes}  Hey, they’re all robots!

{Bad Bird appears behind the robot Dusty, jumping over her head to land in front of the Pizza Cats}

BAD BIRD {laughing}:  Haha!  That’s right, you furballs!  I didn’t think you’d figure it out so quickly but no matter!

{The Cats go into their intro poses}

GUIDO:  Come on now, Bad Bird, surely by now you’ve learned never to underestimate us.  {puts Sunspot Umbrella above his head}  Then again, some people never learn!

POLLY {finishes playing her flute}:  You’ll never win; the power of love will always win out over evil!  {blows kiss}  You know it’s true!

SPEEDY {gets up from kneeling position}:  You picked the wrong cats to mess with.  I’ll get my sister back no matter what it takes!

ALL:  Samurai Pizza Cats!

BAD BIRD:  We’ll see about that! {to robots} Attack!

NARRATOR:  Yes, readers; when the band were first brought into the building, they were taken to the robot production lab where a set of robot clones was produced in a – frankly, rather pathetic - attempt to trap and defeat the Pizza Cats.  Clearly Guido’s right: some people never learn.  Anyway, our heroes are now being set upon by the robots in question, as well as the largest number of Ninja Crows they’ve had to fight in a long time.  {sarcastically} Who says fair play’s dead?

SPEEDY {to Polly, as he sends two Crows flying across the room}:  How are you doing over there?

POLLY:  Well, I reckon we could use a little help!

And that help is on its way!  But who from?  Find out in Part 5!

[Blackcat]

Does this help?

"“I’m Francine, the one that usually does the rhymes,this is a recording because today I’m off, , but Im sure ours heroes will make the villains go poff!”"

[LadyFlame]

Does this help?

"“I’m Francine, the one that usually does the rhymes,this is a recording because today I’m off, , but Im sure ours heroes will make the villains go poff!”"

That's a good one, actually; wish I'd thought of that!  Sorry for taking so long to reply but I've got a new computer and it's taking ages to get everything from the old one onto it.  Hopefully I'll have more time over the Christmas hols. 

Anyway, here are the last two parts of the story - I've split them over two posts because they're kinda long.  At the end of Part 4, the Pizza Cats were fighting the Ninja Crows and Polly said that they could use a little help.  Here we go with Part 5, where that help arrives!


ALANA {from above}:  You called?

{Everyone is shocked to see Dusty and the others drop down from the rafters}

BAD BIRD:  What?  How did you lot get out?

ALANA:  Well, considering that no-one thought to search us or tie us up when we were brought here, what did you expect?  It’s amazing what you can do with a nail file – just ask Dusty!  By the way, in case you readers have forgotten who we all are, we’ve got our own intros too!

{Alana twirls round and holds up her keyboard, playing a few notes on it}

ALANA:  I’ve got the keys, I’ve got the secret(3), I’m Alana Grace!

{Christine strums her guitar}

CHRISTINE:  Without my rhythms, my girls would have the blues.  Christine Edwards reporting for duty!

{Miranda, who’s kneeling on the ground, stands up and twirls her drumsticks}

MIRANDA:  I’m always drummin’ up trouble with a big bad beat(4).  Miranda Cerviche at your service!

{Kimberley plays a few notes on her bass guitar}

KIMBERLEY:  There’s no soul without the bass.  Kimberley Slade, here to help!

{Dusty plays a riff on her guitar}

DUSTY:  I may be the leading lady but without my girls I’m nothing.  Dusty Anchovy’s the name and together, the five of us are…

BAND:  Dusty and the Bluebelles!

BAD BIRD:  Oh no, not you as well!  How come I don’t get my own snazzy intro?

NARRATOR:  Because you’re the villain, so you don’t deserve one.  By the way, I’d watch these girls if I were you.

BAD BIRD:  Why’s that, then?

NARRATOR:  Because, if you’d actually bothered reading the script yesterday like you were supposed to be doing, you’d know that your lot are about to get your tails kicked!  Go get ‘em, cats!

{Everyone leaps into action.  Alana is confronted by her robot clone first}

ALANA:  So you think you can handle me, eh?  Handle this!

{Alana plays a very fast riff on her keyboard.  This scrambles the robot’s circuits and causes it to start melting.  Polly throws a heart bomb into its side to finish it off}

POLLY:  Yes!  {high-fives Alana}  Girl power!

{While everyone else is fighting off the Ninja Crows, Christine corners her robot.  Using her guitar, she batters it into submission and knocks off its head with the final blow.  The head rolls over towards her and stops at her feet}

CHRISTINE {shakes her head}:  Tsk, tsk.  Such shoddy workmanship!

SPEEDY:  Christine, duck! 

{Christine looks up to see a Ninja Crow come flying towards her from above}

CHRISTINE {to Speedy}:  Don’t worry, I’m on it!  {picks up the robot’s head and throws it at the Crow, knocking him to the ground}

CHRISTINE:  Jeez, these guys are wimps!  {laughs}

{Seeing her robot coming towards her, Kimberley crouches on the ground.  She appears to be doing something with her guitar strap but nobody can figure out what}

POLLY:  Kimberley, what are you doing?  Get up, quick; that thing’s coming for you!

{Kimberley looks up, winks at Polly reassuringly and wraps the strap round the robot’s legs to stop it moving.  She pulls it away quickly and there’s a clang of metal as the robot hits the floor.  The red light in its eyes goes out and Kimberley turns away}

KIMBERLEY:  See?  You’ve got to get up very early to outsmart Kimberley Slade!

{Guido notices that the robot is getting up from the floor and is about to attack again}

GUIDO:  Kimberley, watch out!

{As Kimberley turns round, Guido throws ninja stars at the robot.  Kimberley runs to a safe distance as it explodes}

KIMBERLEY:  Thanks, Guido; I owe you one.  By the way, nice to meet you at last.

GUIDO:  Well, we can do all that later.  Right now we’ve still got two robots to deal with and a whole bunch of Ninja Crows too.

KIMBERLEY:  Looks like Miranda’s handling things pretty well.  She always was able to take care of herself.  That’s why we have her as one of our bodyguards as well as our drummer.

NARRATOR:  Sure enough, the Crows are proving no match for Miranda.  She uses her drumsticks to fend them off with ease.  As she’s busy dealing with two Crows, her robot clone tries to attack.  She tries to fight back but has trouble tackling three enemies at once.

MIRANDA:  Hey, three against one isn’t f– AAAGGH!  {the robot blasts her with a hidden laser in one of its drumsticks, sending her flying across the room and knocking her out}

SPEEDY: Miranda!

ALANA:  It’s OK, Speedy, I’ve got her.  {drags Miranda to a safe place}

SPEEDY {to the robot, furious}:  Grrrr, you went too far that time, metal-mouth!  No-one picks on the Cerviches and gets away with it!  Now you’re gonna get it!  {readies Ginzu Sword for Cat’s Eye Slash}

NARRATOR:  Yes readers, it’s always a bad idea to get Speedy Cerviche mad because that’s when he’ll unleash the magical Ginzu Sword!  Nothing stands a chance against it – not brick, not steel, not even leftover pizza from a midnight feast. 

SPEEDY {raises swords in the air}:  This is for…

{He brings the swords down}

Miranda!

{The robot splits in half and is completely destroyed.  Miranda wakes up just in time to see this}

MIRANDA {weakly}:  Nice job, bro.

SPEEDY:  Thanks!  {grins}  What about Dusty’s robot?

GUIDO:  Leave her, guys; she’s ours!  Dusty, are you ready?

DUSTY:  Of course!  {jumps back into the rafters}

GUIDO {to the robot}:  Hey, tin-face!  So you want your time in the spotlight, huh?  Well, here’s your chance!

{Guido opens his Sunspot Umbrella and shines it in the robot’s face, which slows it down.  It takes a few wobbly steps forward and stops, unable to go any further}

GUIDO:  My sister’s got something she wants to say to you.  Dusty?

DUSTY:  Sorry, kitten, but…

{Dusty leaps down from the roof and plants both feet in the robot’s back.  It breaks into pieces as it hits the ground}

DUSTY:   …there’s only room for one Dusty Anchovy in this town!  {does a double high-five with Guido}  Go us!

SPEEDY:  Time to do our pose, guys!

MIRANDA:  Can we join in?

POLLY:  Of course you can; you helped us, after all.

{Everyone assumes victory pose}

ALL CATS:  TA-DA!

BAD BIRD:  Grrrrr, lost again!  I’m outta here.  {takes off}

{As they make a move to leave, Christine turns round and shouts after Bad Bird}

CHRISTINE:  Oh, by the way, you can’t have your cuddly toys back – we’re keeping those!  I reckon we deserve a little compensation for the trouble we’ve had today!

{Everyone makes their way outside}

DUSTY {to the Pizza Cats}:  Thanks, guys; you got us out of a tight spot there.

SPEEDY:  Hey, we didn’t do all the work.  You girls put up one heck of a fight yourselves.  I’m impressed!

DUSTY {blushes slightly}:  Thanks.  Well, anyway, we’d better head on here.

POLLY:  Why, where are you going?

KIMBERLEY:  To the Sun Dome, of course!  We’ve got a show to do tonight, remember!  See you down there later!  {blows kiss to Guido and heads off}

POLLY:  Wow, they’re brave.  Most bands wouldn’t want to carry on after being through all that today.

GUIDO:  That’s Dusty and the girls for you; always the professionals.  {checks his watch}  We’d better get back to the parlour and get ready, the show starts in three hours!

[LadyFlame]

And here's Part 6 - the home straight! 


NARRATOR:  It doesn’t take long for the Big Cheese to find out that the band have escaped and the “perfect plan” to defeat the Pizza Cats has failed.  Of course, his reaction’s predictable.

CHEESE {furious}:  This was supposed to be the perfect plan for getting rid of those Pizza Cats!  What happened?  {turns red all over, ready to explode}

JERRY:  Please calm down, Cheese; you won’t do yourself any good by –

{Too late – Cheese explodes in anger and the room is wrecked}

JERRY:  Oh, I hate it when he does that!

NARRATOR:  Five hours later, the Pizza Cats and the band are chilling out backstage at the Sun Dome, Little Tokyo’s number one concert venue, after another highly successful gig for the Bluebelles.

ALANA:  OK, is it just me or does anyone else think that was the best show of the whole tour?

{Everyone else nods in agreement}

CHRISTINE:  Yeah, what a way to come home!  Don’t know about you girls but I’m looking forward to having a break from all this for a while.  Not for too long, though; about six months is as long as I can stand being away from music.

POLLY:  Well, why not start your break right now?  Come home with us and we’ll all have pizza – any type you want.

MIRANDA:  Brilliant idea!

{Polly picks up her phone and calls the parlour}

POLLY:  Hello, Francine?  Polly here.  Get the ovens ready, we’re having guests tonight.  Yep, we’ll be there in about ten minutes.  See you soon, bye!  {hangs up}  Ready to go, guys?

KIMBERLEY:  Yeah, I can’t wait!  I haven’t had any pizza in months and I love it – especially yours!

GUIDO {takes Kimberley’s arm}:  Nothing but the best for you, my sweet. 

{Kimberley blushes and they head off, leading the way for the others}

SPEEDY:  Oh boy, there he goes again!

DUSTY:  I know!  I don’t think he’ll ever change.  {shrugs}  Oh well.  Let’s go, I’m hungry!

{Everyone leaves}

THE END

ALL:  Thank goodness for that!

[Blackcat]

  And so the fanfic ends, will the SPC live in the hearts of their fans some years more?

  Hey "W", the pizza is here!

  Who cares? I'm hungry!

*Blackcat and W eat the pizza, the credits roll, Guido gets a girlfriend, Good Bird is washing dishes while Carla has an angry face and a whip in her hards, the  Rude Noise do "Teyande cats" in kids parties and gets beaten up. Guru Lou dates "W", Blackcat eats all the food, Kyo makes a cameo and the forum Vi has a angry discussion with the real Vi, but they end making a truce and becoming friends.

PS: Sorry,  I got carried away...

[sans soul]

just read the fic, and i gotta hand it to you, you did a great job sticking to the style of the show. there maybe have been a few typographical errors here and there that were nearly unnoticeable, but heck, i'd almost expect to see this fully animated and tacked on somewhere in the season no problem! i especially love the bluebelles intros..that definitely rocked.

you should enter the spc cd design they're holding on deviantart!

Thanks, Aster; glad you liked it!     I was trying to stick as close to the style of the show as possible and not let the Bluebelles take over too much (I know how people hate it when fan characters intrude and become the main focus).  I know the series had music-related episodes but I thought the sisters angle made my story a little different.  Sadly, drawing isn't my strong point, so I don't think I'll enter the design comp.

EDIT: I've put some profiles for the Bluebelles in the original characters thread in the Role Playing forum if anyone wants to have a nosey at those!
