TV competition; TMM Style

Host: HELLO, AND WELCOME TO MARCIE'S SHOW-

Fire-Bloom: Wait, what? Marcie's show? This is a TV Show Competition TMM Style!

Host: (shuffles through cards) Ooops, got that wrong! I'm sorry! Restart! Re-

Fire-Bloom: (growls) NO! OUT! OUT! OUT WITH YOU! (Kicks host out) I WAS STUPID TO HIRE YOU! I'LL DO IT MYSELF!

(People rush in to add cloth to Fire-Bloom's dress, put make-up, etc.)

Fire-Bloom: (puts on big smile) Hello! Welcome to the TV Show Competition, TMM Style! (Crowd applauds) I would now like you to all greet our competitors!

ICHIGO! (A light goes onto Ichigo, transformed and puzzled) MINTO! (Another light goes onto a transformed Minto, who replaces her dazed look by one of pure vanity) RETASU! (Retasu squeaks and tries to hide behind something, transformed as well) PURIN! (Purin jumps onto a ball that pops out of nowhere, yellow like her outfit she's wearing (gosh whatever (THEY'RE ALL TRANSFORMED!)) ZAKURO! (Zakuro instinctively takes a model pose) KEI-

Ichigo: HEY! WHY CAN'T I TRANSFORM!

Fire-Bloom: SHUT UP! I'll come to it later, be patient! As I was saying: KEIICHIRO AND RYOU! (Keiichiro waves and Ryou glares, making the crowd nearly faint) AND THE ALIENS! PIE, TART, AND KISH! (Crowd goes even wilder, some people faint, medics rush in, and Kish waves at Ichigo) AND MASAYA! (Ichigo squeaks happily, Kish and crowd 'boo' and glare) Nah, kidding, he's giving the Bengal tigers a little visit! (Trapdoor opens under Masaya, growls, screams and roars are heard, and while Kish and crowd cheer, Ichigo faints) You'll have to get used to it, Ichi. There's no way you're ending up with HIM in HERE.

Ichigo: (wipes tear away) NOW TELL US WHAT THE HELL WE'RE DOING HERE AND WHY I CAN'T DETRANSFORM!

Fire-Bloom: Woah! Calm down! But ok! You've been respectfully kidnaped to attend and participate in my TV show, and you can't transform because, seeing I'm the authoress, I decide what happens. (Everyone stares at her like she's crazy) HEY! I AM crazy! But now, down to business! I decided to team you up as twos of opposite gender. I already chose the pairs!

(The pair names flash on screen; Minto and Ryou, Zakuro and Keiichiro, Retasu and Pie, Purin and Tart, Ichigo and Kish)

Ichigo: I'm not feeling well right now...

Kish: (punches air triumphantly) YES! YES! YES!

Retasu & Pie: (blush and glance at each other)

Purin: (glomps Tart)

Minto, Ryou, Keiichiro, Zakuro: (Glances at partners, then snap heads away)

Fire-Bloom: 'Kay! Now that everyone's ok-

Ichigo: NO! NO I'M NOT OK! I WANNA CHAAAAAAAAAAAANGE!

Fire-Bloom: Shut up. Now, here's the point of the thing; the pairs to go out will HAVE to take those and be together forever! (Takes out 5 velvet-lined boxes. In the first, for Minto and Ryou, are two silver rings with a blue bird made of sapphire on each, for Zakuro and Keiichiro, silver with diamond wolf heads, Retasu and Pie, silver with aiguemarin dolphins, for Purin and Tart, silver with citrine bananas, and finally, for Kish and Ichigo, silver with a yin-yang sign but in pink and green so made of diamond and emerald) (smirks) Each is supplied with a silver chain in case you prefer pendants!

Ichigo: (claws at own throat) NO! Please, I beg you! Is there any way to escape it?!

Fire-Bloom: (smirks some moar) Yup! To be first place! Then, the pair decides to take the rings or not! Their choice! Also, they get separate tickets for whenever they want to a certain aquatic park! Goodbye, folks, and stay tuned for the next episode of TV competition couples, TMM Style!

Ichigo: Hey! The name changed!

Fire-Bloom: Shut up! Or do you want to have the ring forced on?!
