aruan | For Schiz, on the occasion of her birthday.

JC: Now, let's see if this thing works. Joey, could you...
Joey: *sticks out tongue*
JC: I was going for more of a 'check one-two-three,' but that's all right, too. Onward!

JC: Come on, Joey, could you be serious for two seconds? We've got something important to do here.

Joey: *whisperwhisperwhisper*

JC: JOEY! *blush* Don't tease. This is important.
Joey: *pout*
JC: But my dressing room is at the end of the hall, so if you're good, we can talk then.

Joey: All right then, let's do this! And hey...

Joey: How about some costumes? I hear she likes that sort of thing.

JC: That's a great idea, but you know what would really make her day?

Joey: What's that, babe?

JC: Why, more sparkles, of course!
Joey: ...

JC: Aaah! Joey! JOEY! Down, put me down! Pleasepleaseplease, I just had that mango-guacamole-ginger root shake and--
Joey: *sets him down promptly*

Joey: Now, Jayce, you know, I love you...

Joey: But if we wore any more sparkles, we'd be the Spice Girls. Remember the mess one Backstreet Boy in a skirt caused? And think of how those shoes alone would affect our dancing!
JC: Yeah, maybe you're right...

JC: But I don't have to like it. *pfft*

Joey: But you know you can wear whatever you like and I'll still love you just as much, right?
JC: That's awfully big of the man in the white bowler and black suit.
Joey: I know you did not just try to criticize anyone else's taste in hats.
JC: ...
Joey: Sorry, that wasn't cool. I like your shoes though. *winks*
JC: *beams*

JC: You better watch out, Joe, or the whole world will know you're just a big ball of schmoop.

Joey: What can I tell you, baby, you bring it out in me.
JC: *scoots away discreetly* You're a bad man for using that tone of voice onstage.
Joey: *pinches his butt on their next pass*

JC: *clears throat pointedly* A-Hem. Now that we've had fun getting sufficiently off-track, can we get back to why we're here?

Joey: I wouldn't miss it for the world!

JC: So, Schiz, you cool cat, we wanted to take a moment because we think you're something pretty special, and hope that the coming year is as good to you as you deserve. Remember what's important, and that's having fun, good friends, and we wish you...
Joey: Wait, wait, wait a minute, C. We're singers, shouldn't we, you know, do this part right?
JC: *thwaps head* Of course! So...

Joey & JC:
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Schiz,
Happy birthday to you!

Joey: And many more, baby.

*mwah* Happy birthday, darlin'. I've known you for as long as I've been in fandom and well as being the first person I met from the Internet back in, wow, 1998 was it? *g* Thanks for luring me, however insidiously, over to popslash, and for all the great times. You're an exceptionally cool, creative, thoughtful, and generous person, and I'm lucky to call you my friend. *hugs you tight* Can't wait for next month. Joey! In! Grease! Two of our favorite things. Everyone should know the joy of pretty, hammy boys in musicals, no? ;)
