7. Captain's Round Captain stood as close to the curtain as he could, his hands clenched in excitement. Maxine waited behind him, shifting her weight from one hip to another, watching Captain with a familiar curiosity. "Are you having fun?" "I am very excited!" Captain suddenly burst out as if he had been waiting for her to ask. He began pacing the "room", and Maxine slowly turned to follow him as he circled the tiny space. "I'm about to go on stage in front of one hundred twenty-four and 1/3 people-" Maxine was confused. "One third?" Captain stopped for a second. "There is a woman in the front row who is six months pregnant." Maxine nodded. "Ah." Captain began pacing again, taking large, sweeping strides, making a tighter and tighter circle around Maxine until he stopped in front of her. "And I'm going out there to compete against my friends and some of my enemies and the lights will be on me, and the music will be loud, and I'll be out there without most of my armor, and the heat, and the bass, and the people all staring at me-" And then he, quite literally, ran into Maxine and bounced off of her chest, making both of the Gundams blush and wait in silence for each to recover. "Sorry." "Me too." Captain looked up from his feet and examined Maxine's face... and he wondered. "Maxine?" "Yes?" Maxine tilted her head, waiting for the answer. "Your faceplate... it comes to a point, just like mine." Maxine was silent, but she lifted her head back to where it should have been. She stared hard at Captain's mouth, even daring to lean in a bit (it made Captain blush again), but finally said, "It does, but... what is the relevance?" Captain was crushed. If she had it, she would have mentioned it by now. Dejected, he sat down where he stood, his eyes sad and his body miserable. "Never mind..." Maxine heard him sigh, and felt a terrible pain in her chest. She kneeled down to his level and touched her short v-fins to his, a meaningless gesture but still appreciated by Captain. "Whatever I said, I'm sorry..." "Don’t worry..." Captain adjusted his legs so he was sitting Indian style. "It's nothing..." She knew it was a lie, though. She sat down on her hip in the crook of his legs, looking him in the eye (she had to twist her back in a funny way to do it). "Oh... Hey, Captain... I've... never shown this to anyone, but..." Captain looked up; she was reaching for her faceplate. It opened to reveal a nose and mouth. Captain gasped. Maxine quickly shut her faceplate again, blushing bright red and curling into the fetal position. "Oh, I know, it's ugly, but-" And then they called his name. "HANG ON A MINUTE!" Captain shot back. "Maxine, look!" Maxine turned just in time to see Captain open his face; she covered her "mouth" in shock. "I thought I was the only one!" She opened her face once again. Captain pulled her into a tight hug. "I thought I was, too." "CAPTAIN GUNDAM!" Charon's harsh tones made Captain shrink in pain. The Neotopian Gundam pressed his cheek gently against Maxine's, sending a light electric tickle through both their faces. "Wish me luck." A horn played out the opening notes as two spotlights lead the viewer's eyes up the aisle runway. Captain: Ooooohh! The lights flashed with each beat; when they finally settled, they showed Captain Gundam on stage. His arms and legs were held spread eagle in four giant locks (think "Incredibles") inside a StarGate-esque round gate. Several females whistled and screamed "SO HOT!” Captain: At the tender age of three, I was hooked to a machine Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk. He threw back his head. Captain: HA! Must have took me for a fool, 'cause they chucked me out of school, 'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk. With a twitch of his arm, Captain had shattered the lock of his left arm like it was glass, making several audience members jump in surprise. Captain: But tonight, I'm on the edge- With no effort whatsoever, he snapped each of the remaining three locks and jumped onto the stage, kneeling on one knee with his hand on the floor. His head was hung dramatically low. Captain: Better shut me in the fridge. As he picked his head up, his eyes began to flame. Captain and Female Backup: 'Cause I'm burnin' up! Captain: YEAH! I'm burnin' up! He stood up and stepped forward on the beat, the fire in his eyes still burning. Captain: With the vision in my brain, and the music in my veins, He clenched his fists and threw his chest out. Captain: And the dirty rhythm in my blood! More fan girls screamed. Captain and Backup Girls: And you're messing with my heart! Keep on messing with my heart! And you're messing with my heart! Keep on messing with my heart! Captain flexed his shoulders tight, straining the joints of his muscles at the seams and making it look like he was about to explode. Captain: Ripping me apart! As Captain sang, a shrill voice sang out from the background. Captain and Voice: Hyperactive when I’m small, Hyperactive now I’m grown. Hyperactive, and the night is young. Captain spread his legs, bracing himself. Captain: And in a minute I’ll blow! Captain stomped his foot, and a bolt of lightning shot up from within him into the top of the stage, showering sparks over the audience. The fans cheered and tried to catch the sparks (one did, but wound up burning his hand). As the music played, Captain threw his body around in a boy band-esque dance in time to the music. With another blast of base, a bolt of lightning came down from the lights directly into Captain’s chest, making him shine like a light bulb. The fans shrieked in fear, but Captain tossed the electricity away with a flick of his hips. Captain: I can reach into your homes- He cupped his hand dramatically, “crushing” his fingers for emphasis while his eyes glowed. Captain: Like an itch in your headphones. Captain and Backup: You can turn it up! Captain threw his head back. Captain: WOO! Unh! Uh-huh. Captain: I’m the shape in your back room… He tightened his muscles dangerously, and a shadow formed over his eyes. Captain: I’m the breather on the phone- AND I’M BURNING UP! He flung his arms to the side and looked upwards as light burst out from within him. Without warning, faceless humans appeared from nowhere and began to subdue Captain with a straight jacket. Pulled tight against him, the white cloth accentuated his body and every little ripple of muscle underneath it. Captain: But there’s one thing I must say ‘Fore they lock me up again: You’d be safer at the back… Captain’s shoulders jutted out from under the straight jacket. Captain: When I’m having an- Background voice: Attack! Captain: Attack! Voice: Attack! Captain: Attack! With a flick of his arms, Captain had burst the jacket and thrown the humans to either side of the stage! Hyperactive audience members went nuts, screaming “ADD ROCKS!” and “HYPERACTIVE!” Voice: Hyperactive when I’m small Hyperactive now I’m grown Hyperactive as the day is long! Hyperactive in my bones! Hyperactive in your phones! Hyperactive, and the night is young! Hyperactive when I’m small Captain, who had stood still soaking up the music, suddenly hunched over! Hyperactive now I’m grown His body twitched, and his fists clenched. Audience members began to murmur in worry. Hyperactive ‘til I’m dead and GOOOOOOONE! He threw his hands to the sky, and lightning shot out from his body in every direction. Out of the lightning bolts came a demonic face, bright yellow with small eyes and a fanged mouth formed out of the electricity itself. Under the face a small beam of light, like a snake’s body, curled out beneath it and ended at Captain’s chest. It cried out in a snarling, electric voice- Face: STAND UP HYPERACTIVATE GET UP HYPERACTIVATE WISE UP HYPERACTIVATE Captain: And in a minute I’ll blow Face: HYPERACTIVATE Captain punched the air, and the bolts scattered themselves again like they had been kicked. Face: STAND UP HYPERACTIVATE Captain moved his arms, and the electricity followed his movements, with the evil face bobbing above the crowd. GET UP HYPERACTIVATE WISE UP HYPERACTIVATE LONDON HYPERACTIVATE With a final thrust and a boom of thunder, the electricity was gone, Captain alone on stage. He bowed and left. | |
