Uptown Girl__________________ It's shopping day! School, homework, track practice, none of that matters right now, because Ravenna and Misty are hitting the mall. They try on funny hats, buy a few cute outfits, dance around while carrying their bags, eat some teriyaki in the food court, and other token fun mall activities. They laugh at the funny t-shirt slogans, try on shoes, pose as mannequins wearing oversized sunglasses and ridiculous outfits, and flirt with the male model standing outside some teen fad clothing store. Ravenna tries out an outfit consisting of a posh violet jacket, tight white pants, and an orange scarf. Misty shakes her head in disapproval. Misty changes, and walks out wearing a black vest, short red skirt, knee high black boots, with her red hair in buns. Ravenna smiles and nods in approval. Yes, the two friends are having a wonderful time on their day out. They take a seat on some comfy chairs and take a breather, chatting and sipping their overpriced coffee. "You were right, Misty. Coming to the mall was such a good idea." "I know, right? And just look at all the cute guys walking around. Mmm, come to Misty."
"Is that all you think about? Shopping and boys?" "When I have the time. We've both been so busy with classes and track. It's nice seeing you loosen up a bit. Normally you're always so bitter and sarcastic." "Oh stop, I am not! I can have fun." "Today, yes, but normally, you're such a rain cloud, Ray! Ah haha ha!"
The girls sit back and relax. Ravenna is now wearing a black tank top, white jacket, a violet skirt, and new black boots. Misty is wearing a strapless white shirt, black skirt, and a dark red scarf. Still high on the rush from shopping, they enjoy a brief break in the action. Something catches Ravenna's eye. She sees a stage being set up in the center of the mall. "Hey, what do you think they are doing over there?" "It looks like they are setting up some kind of performance. Maybe we can get on TV! We should check it out."

Intrigued by the stage, Ravenna and Misty walk over to check out what is going on. They see a paunchy, well dressed man giving people orders.
"Who is that? He looks like some kind of European." "Such extravagant clothes! It's a shame he can't pull off that attire."
The paunchy man continues giving orders, shouting at the actors and throwing his cup of coffee.
"This is most unpleasant! I wasn't expecting Broadway quality from the lot of you, but this is some serious bush league garbage! How am I supposed to direct when actresses keep quitting? "Her lips taste like popsicles." Who wrote this train wreck?!"
The director's assistant nervously speaks up.
"Uh, you did, Lord Pierre." "I did? Uh, well... here, rewrite this script, and make it five times more amazing. And try to sneak in a bath scene somewhere."
The director tosses his assistant the script, then looks around the mall. Ravenna and Misty catch his eye, and he shuffles over to the duo.
"Why, hello there, Mis- ...young ladies. How would you two like to be in my latest show? I call it, An Unlikely Occurrence!" "That's a lame name." "Look at you, you can rhyme. It's a working title. Here's the deal. My star actress left because of creative differences, and the stand-in fell into an ice cream related coma, and I could really use some bodies right about now. There's so many terrific characters I want to showcase, but to keep things simple, I've had to cut about 40 of them."
"No offense, but you are rather strange." "Even for a European." "Ah, so you can detect the European influence of the scenery. But where are my manners? I haven't even introduced myself yet. I am the Amazing Lord Pierre Saint Chaucer-speare the I."
Pierre extends his hand to Ravenna. She goes to shake his hand, but then Pierre kisses her hand.
"Well that's happening... My name is Ravenna." "And I'm Misty! We would be delighted to be in your play." "What?!" "Come on, Ray. This looks like fun! Besides, you know how much I love to put on a show." "You mean how you love receiving attention?" "There's no time for chit-chat. Assistant, finish rewriting the script, and get these broads in the makeup chairs. The curtains open in 10 minutes."
The frantic assistant rushes Ravenna and Misty behind the curtain, then starts putting makeup on them in a haste.
"The first act costumes are to your left. I haven't finished rewriting the script, so feel free to improv." "I don't think this is such a good idea..." "Please, you have to do this! Lord Pierre becomes most unpleasant if his plays are not well received." "That was his pleasant? We haven't even looked at the script yet. How about a dress rehearsal?" "There's no time! Quick, put on this wedding dress. Sometimes the zipper gets stuck." "How do you know the zipper-"
Pierre yells to the assistant.
"Hurry it up back there! The crowd is getting bigger."
Ravenna is worried. Everyone in the mall is going to be laughing at them. There's no way this play is not going to bomb. This is what she gets for being happy. You try to have a fun day out at the mall, and you get roped into an amateur production that will likely end in a barrage of fruit reigning down upon the stage. Ravenna is most displeased.

Ravenna is fed up with this off-Broadway play. Misty might be game for something like this, but it’s not Ray’s style. The assistant hands her the updated script.
“Finished reading? Hurry up and get in the wedding dress.”
The assistant grabs the dress and throws it over Ravenna. He struggles trying to get it on her.
“Hey, take it easy! I haven’t even gotten my clothes off yet.”
Ravenna tries simultaneously dressing and undressing at the same time. Finally, she has had enough. Ravenna elbows the assistant in the face and storms off. She is about to leave when she hears a voice speaking to her telepathically.
“Don’t leave… stay and perform. Please.”
Ravenna is confused. She doesn’t know who is talking to her, but she feels compelled to stay. The curtains go up, and the first act is about to begin. Pierre gets on stage and addresses the audience.
“Greetings, fellow patrons of the arts. Allow me to present to you, An Unlikely Odyssey, the Abridged Edition. Follow young Alice on her journey through womanhood, played by… Rachel!” *Claps enthusiastically.*
Alice is wearing a wrinkled wedding dress unzipped in the back, standing at the altar with a guy in cardboard samurai armor.
“At last, my love, we can be together. Oh, how I ache for your tender touch. Eww…” “Yes, Alice. My days as a ruthless warlord are behind me. I can now devote all of my time to pleasing you in a manner most pleasurable.” “Oh, woe is me, my dear Takashi. For you see, it was your barbaric ways that drove me mad with the passion of a thousand zebras in heat that drew me to you in the first place. I cannot be with a shell of a man.”
A scrawny man wearing a leather jacket and jeans bursts through a glass window.
“Alice! Only I can love you as much as a fish loves water. I may lack Takashi’s psychical strength, but I am a brilliant writer!” “Really? Well where were you 5 minutes ago? I mean, gasp! It is my long time admirer, Sam.” “You will not steal Alice from me!”
Takashi draws his blade. Sam takes out a pen.
“You forget, the pen is mightier than the sword!”
Takashi stabs Sam through the chest, and he collapses to the ground.
“No! I have killed again! I must go now.”
The first scene ends, and the curtains close. So far, the audience is not impressed.
The second scene begins. Alice is at a bathhouse, wearing nothing but a towel.
“My fiancé killed my stalker friend, and now I am alone. Will I ever find a man to treat me like a princess?” “Maybe it’s not a man that you should be looking for.”
Gabrielle, played by Misty, walks on stage, also wearing a towel.
“My long time close friend Gabrielle. What are you doing here?” “I cannot hide my true feelings for you. I long to please you in ways that no man can.” “But, I don’t want our passion to ruin our friendship.” “Maybe a hot bath will change your mind.”
Alice and Gabrielle take off their towels, holding them up to avoid public nudity, then dip down into the water. After a few seconds of fanservice, the act ends and the curtains close.
Ravenna and Misty are sitting naked in the bath together, as they prepare for the next scene.
“I can’t believe you dragged me into this.” “What’s the matter? We never get to take baths together.”
After a few more irrelevant scenes, Alice is training deep in the rainforest. A little forest goblin, also played by Misty, is training Alice.
“Learn to control your anger, you must, if you hope to defeat the evil witch Lilith.” “How can I hope to control my anger when everyone around me is a blithering idiot?!” “Focus, young one. You must learn patience.” “I’ll show you patience, stupid little goblin!”
Alice whacks the goblin on the back of the head.
“Hey, cut it out, Ray! Stick to the script.” “The next page has a giant coffee stain on it. I can’t read anything.”
The director is getting noticeably agitated with the actresses being unprofessional. The scene ends and the curtains close. Finally, the last scene is about to start. The assistant hands Ravenna some kind of strange relic.
“Here. This will change you into your costume for the final scene.”
The relic starts to glow violet. Ravenna’s D-Tector goes off, and soon she is surrounded by a sphere of energy. Ravenna spirit evolves to Suzamon. She is wearing a revealing black and violet outfit, with feathers, spikes, and chains. She now has two massive wings sprouting from her back. Ravenna examines her outfit, tugging on it to cover more skin.
“What is going on now?! I can’t be seen wearing this. It’s too revealing. Though I did do a scene in the nude before.”
The curtains pull back, and Alice finds herself atop a tower battling the evil witch Lilith.
“Wu hu ha ha ha ha! You think that transformation is enough to defeat me? My mind-controlled ninjas will destroy you!”
A group of ninjas surround Alice. One of them charges towards her and hits her in the face.
“Oww! That hurt. Just what is going on?”
Pierre speaks up.
“Just go with it. I wanted the battles to be authentic.”
Ravenna hears the voice from before speaking to her.
“Use your powers. Fight them off.”
Suzamon lets out a powerful Psychic Scream, disorienting some of the ninjas. Suzamon flies towards one of them and kicks him in the chest, knocking him back. Suzamon calls for a flock of crows to join the frenzy, and they start pecking at the ninjas. She now turns her attention to Lilith.
“I’ve had enough of this nonsense. Taste my blade!”
Suzamon summons a blade made of psychic energy, and slashes at Lilith. The evil witch falls off the tower, landing in the crowd. Pierre’s bizarre play is finally over, and the crowd roars with excitement.
“The acting was terrible, it was full of plot holes, nothing made sense, it was poorly written, and yet, the groundlings ate it up because of the action. It’s just like a Transformers movie!”
All the actors and actresses come out to take a final bow. Pierre gets up on stage and hogs the glory.
“Thank you! Thank you! I’m so wonderful! I’m such a great director!”
Later on, Ravenna and Misty are about to leave the mall.
“That was so exciting! See? I knew we would have fun.” “Well, in the end, it was pretty fun.” “I didn’t know that you were a Spirit User. Just like me!” “Wait, you know about Digimon?”
Misty checks to make sure that no one is around, then takes out her D-Tector, and spirit evolves to Cambramon, the sexy magician.
“Now we can get into all kinds of crazy shenanigans together!”
Cambramon gives Ravenna a big hug. It wasn’t easy, but Ravenna has acquired her first spirit totem. She hopes that this is the last time she will wind up in one of Pierre’s plays. __________________
