Bonbon picked up the small puzzle, then started chewing on it. "It taysts lykk diearreea...." she said.

"Oh no! There's nobody out there!" Abi turned and saw Jimmy and Kit Kat. "You two! Go sing this. You guys are ready!" she handed them a piece of paper with lyrics on it.

Kit Kat read them thoroughly. "But I don't like Jimmy!" she complained.

"GO!!!!" Abi screamed so loud she was pretty sure the audiance and anyone within five miles could hear.

The two ran out on stage, too frightened to argue any further.

Kit Kat came skipping out in a tank top and bellbottom pants, pink of course. Jimmy was wearing... nothing except for a bowtie.

They began to sing this song, skipping around the stage enthusiasticly.

Jimmy and Kit Kat bowed. Jimmy fell forward, but people didn't seem to care. Most eyes were on Kat.

"Nuuu. Randy judges first, then Paula, then Simon. Speaking of which..." Abi looked around for Kanuki, then gave up and walked on stage to face the cheering audiance.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GO KIT KAT" yowled a cat who just seemed to have appeared in the audiance. She was black and white, and oddly, though she looked like a black and white cat, she had wolflike features. She looked a lot like No One.

Ricky rolled his eyes, "I've seen Paula go first!" he said. "N-not that I watch that show....." he said quickly. "Okay......7.5 out of 10!"

"All right. Um, five out of ten. The music and singing was fine I suppose, but Jimmy was letting you down" she said as she folded her arms across her chest.

Kit Kat glared at Jimmy.

The crowd looked around for Simon.

"Maybe we shouldn't have started without him..." Abi said silently.

Ricky rolled his eyes. "Well since he didn't even show up, I would say you both get a zero from him! NEXT!!!"
Randomly Bonbon lept from the crowd and attached herself to Ricky's neck yelling, "I LYKED DEHM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ricky yelled with surprise, then tried to pull Bonbon off. But she would budge.

"I LYKED DEHM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled again.

"OKAY OKAY YOU PASS!!!!!!!!" yelled Ricky as Bonbon started biteing his ear.

A caretaker ran over to the judges table and attempted to pull Bonbon off. Little Skip couched them.

"Come on Katie! Put your back into it!!!"

Bonbon let go, but only because Ricky gave in.

"Son of a buttler....." said Ricky angrily rubbing his ear.

"OMG WE NEED ANOTHER ACT. Someone stall!" said Abi.

"Where are the good acts? Like Ami and Dawg and Amy?" said Little Skip.

Then, quite suddenly, a mattress dropped from the ceiling and landed on the stage, making a loud noise as it hit the stage, narrowly missing Johnny.

A few seconds passed, and Kanuki pulled himself out from underneath the mattress, cussing under his breath.

He then dusted himself off and walked over his seat.

"Sorry I was late, a certain shape-shifting vampire "accidentally" left dog hair in my shampoo." He said, sitting down and folding his arms. "The mattress was the fastest way to travel."

Kanuki cleared his throat. "Anyways, as for the last performance, I'd give it a 1 out of 10. Catchy song, yet horribly annoying."

He looked up on stage, and saw Johnny.

"Well, go ahead, do your act." He said bluntly, lighting a cigarette.

L-Fang coughed once, but somehow in a fashion where it was silent. Sometimes she almost just decided to use her magic to silence her sense of smell. It was hard to get used to the scent of Kanuki's cigarettes. Instead, she waved her hand between them, making it so it wouldn't give off much scent.

((For a second, I thought Kanuki said:

"Sorry I was late, a certain mis-shapen vampire "accidentally" left dog hair in my shampoo."

Lol))

Johnny begain to tremble all over. "Uh...uh...A...I" he stammered. "Do......you.........like waffles?"

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Bonbon.

"What? Are you going to wet yourself? Just sing!" said Ricky impasently.

Johnny wet himself then ran crying off the stage.

Silence fell over the audiance. Until Little Skip broke it.

"OH YEAHHHHHHH!!!!! GO JONATHAN!!! YEAHHHHHHH!" she cheered. More joined into her cheers, mostly her sisters.

"JONATHAN! JONATHAN! JONATHAN! JONATHAN!" she yelled. Some joined her. Most stared.

"I LOVE YOU!!!!!" said a couple random insignificant little girls. They squealed.

"What the heck?" a girl named Sandra mused to herself from the audiance.

L-Fang raised her eyebrows.

Kanuki sighed, and pressed a button on his desk which seemed like a com-system of some kind.

"Security." He said dully, smoke puffing from his mouth as he spoke.

"I wanna meet him backstage!!!!" yelled more insignificant little girls.

Abi leaped onto the mattress, which oddly no one had moved off the stage.

Speaking of which...

No One tugged at the mattress at Abi jumped on it. He hissed at her.

"Quit jumping, will you?" he said angrily.

"GO DADDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" yelled a black and white cat from the audiance.

No One stopped suddenly, then walked off the stage, leaving the mattress behind him.

"I'm not singing" he said as he walked away.
