Heh, bet u thought I’d forgotten what digi-tale to write next!  Well, here it is!  But it’s been a while since I’ve done humor, so don’t be too disappointed.

Neffie:  “What are *u* smiling about?”
Pata: “I’m not a sister, so I’m not stuck in a dress!”
Neffie:  “Check again, bubbie”
Pata: “AUGH!”

The Little Mermaid
by Nefertanya dragongurl Ahhotep


Little Mermaid: Gatomon
The sisters: Mimi, Sora, Kari, Miyako, Palmon, Biyomon
Sea-Witch: Gomamon
Prince Elvis: Veemon
Princess Ingred: Patamon



~~~Act1, Scene1~~~

*The curtain rises.  Gatomon sits dejectedly on a rock in front of a bright sea-green background.  Floor fans blow up colorful streamers to emulate seaweed.  Fish mobiles ‘swim’ by on fishing lines.  Suddenly there’s a rather loud *clonk* .

<Davis:  “Oww!!  That was my *head*, you moron!”>

<TK: “No wonder it hurt so much!”>

<Davis: “What the hell is *that* supposed to mean?!”>

The fish mobiles ‘swim’ erratically before entwining completely and make a rather hasty exit stage left

<Tai*dragging them both by the collar*: “Jeeze!  No wonder Matt opted out of directing!”>

<TK + Davis: “He started it!!”>

Meanwhile Gatomon sweatdrops, thankful *most* of the audience can’t hear the commotion.  She jumps off the rock and walks to center stage, tripping slightly over the long hem of the sparkly green skirt.  Spotlight on her.*

Gato:  *muttering* <“Why the hell am I the fish?!”>  *aloud* “Mine is a life of misery and woe.  My mistress is the sea, yet she gives no pleasure-”

<Joe*incredulous*: “OhMyGawd!!  *What* did she just say?!”>

<Miyako: “Hentai!  She’s saying she’s unhappy underwater!”>

<Joe*blushing heavily*: “I knew that...”>

Gato: -“ ’Tis my lot in life to swim these currents, to soothe the tempest, or else herald it, with the sweet song.  To tempt the fool, with breasts and beauty bared, and my darkness hidden.”

<*Miyako glares at Joe, daring him.  The tall boy wisely tries to shrink away.*>

*The spotlight enlarges.  In brightly colored skirts spattered with sequins, the girls twirl and jump onto the stage, forming a semi-circle around Gatomon*

Sora: “Foolish little sister.  Why do you mope about?”

Miyako: “Silly little sister.  Why can’t you be content?”

Gato: “I simply desire more in my heart.”

Biyo: “Greedy little sister.  The sea always swallows the claims of man.”

<*Joe bolts past Tai with a nosebleed.  Tai shakes his head.*>

<Tai: “Hentai.”>

Hikari: “Sad little sister.  What desires hurt you so?”

Gato: “I...I wish to know love.”

Pal: “Crazy little sister.  What does a mermaid need with love?”

Gato:  “I am a woman as well as creature.  Must I suffer eternity without the touch of a lover?  To give and receive emotions purer than a raindrop, stronger than a tidal wave?”  

Mimi: “Confused little sister.  A mermaid was not made for the eternal heat of man.”

<*Joe leaves the bathroom, hears the last spoken line, and has to turn around, this time joined by TK*>

<Tai*peeved*: “Are we gonna do this the entire play?!  Grow up, people!”  >

Gato:  “My mind is made up.”

*The sisters twirl off, leaving Gatomon alone.  She sits back upon her rock.  The spotlight fades, but the bg turns a sickly color and there is faux lightning and thunder.*

Gato*sighing*: “Even Poseidon is against me.”

*A particularly loud boom, and then a screaming sound.  Veemon comes tearing down from the ceiling, jerking to a sudden stop for a few seconds before landing hard on the stage.

<Ken: “Ooo, that *had* to hurt.”>

<Wormmon: “Sorry Ken-chan.  He’s heavier than he looks!”>

<Ken:  “I *told* Davis not to feed him so much before the play!”>

On stage, Veemon is barely conscious.  Flat on his back, however, is how he’s supposed to be, so Gatomon doesn’t notice his state.*

Gato:  “What is this?  Ah, a man!  The tempers of Poseidon have brought me a blessing!”

*She crosses over to him.  He is groaning softly, leg twitching every so often.  She kneels next to him and cradles his head.*

Gato: “Oh, what a handsome face!  As the sea’s temptress, it is my duty to keep you here with my song till the waters reclaim you.  And yet....I have never felt such an emotion.  Could this be love?  Is this what the maiden feels?  I desire it, and yet it scares me so!”

*She leans in and gives Veemon a kiss.  Half-conscious, Veemon grunts and kisses back.  Gatomon’s eyes bulge in shock, and she pinches his arm *very* hard.  His cry of pain is muffled, the audience simply thinks he is in thrall.*

Gato: <”Idiot.”> “Oh, what sweetness is in thine lips!  No, I cannot keep you to drown.  I must take you ashore, and quickly!”

*She looks up towards the ceiling as the lights dim out as a filmy curtain draws across.*


Hm...ok, maybe it’s no digi-rella, but it’s not too bad....

Ooh, the little mermaid, cool! 

Huum, I didn't really understand, is it a crossover with Digimon? xD
