Shenanigans *open*

[Antony Leigh Perry]

Tony laughed, waving to the clapping, wide-eyed children, and ducked behind the improvised stage, keeping low so as to stay out of the kids' sight until he could get around the corner. He grabbed his water bottle from the floor and gulped part of it down, pausing to catch his breath a bit before sitting on the ground and stretching, his head easily resting on his knees as he pointed his toes and wrapped his hands around his feet. The job was fun, and it was especially rewarding to watch the kids enjoy the show in wide-eyed wonder.

The Kids' Club Show schedule featured a variety of short programs children would enjoy, and on Shenanigans Sundays like this one, it was geared towards children and their parents. Tony had just finished The Love Boat, a bit over a half-hour show, which involved a medley of love songs from Disney movies with rapid costume changes and extensive dance numbers. It wasn't terriblly high quality, mostly a lot of flinging his partner around in the air and letting the kids in the crowd imagine having a love like that. Truth was, he didn't talk to his partner much outside of rehearsal - they just hadn't hit it off. Of course, it was early, yet.

Tony sighed at the thought - he still had another show coming up. It wouldn't usually be this hectic, but the company was pulling out all the stops to make sure that everyone knew about the quality in all areas of the ship, including their childrens' entertainment. The next show, the Stupendicks, was the absolute worst - a superhero show. He glanced around to make sure he was alone, then quickly slipped out of Aladdin's costume and into the spandex monstrosity that was required for the show. Nothing like spandex over a leo, he thought grimly, turning to pick up his water bottle...and froze.

"Um, hello," he greeted the newcomer.

Last summer we took threes across the board
But by fall we were a cover story "now in stores"

Make us poster boys for your scene
But we are not making an acceptance speech

Today wasn't an all to exciting day for Frankie, she just got out of her father's "office" for their weekly talks as she saw a group of people her age doing absolutely nothing but basking in the sun's ray. Rolling her eyes at them as she passed she wondered how boring it must be to do nothing but lay on a chair and get gawked at by boys. It wasn't something Frankie could even think of doing, she wasn't like all the other girls on the ship as most could tell. Frankie better party then sit and look pretty as most thought was their place in the world. Being a doll wasn't one of her most favorite things, but when duty called for it she was willing to go along with it all, but with a few guidelines.

As she passed the arcade she saw a few teens, couples, kids, and even adults paying against each other in video games and pool. It didn't seem like much fun to her, but the twinkling light inside seemed somewhat distracting so instead of colliding with a passenger she kept her eyes straight and the room out of view. clearly today shall never be eventful, she thought as a few passengers looked at her strangely. Of course she would be the one bored on a cruise ship, as well as the one being stared at for it. But it was somewhat to be expected with her, since she had been on this ship longer then some of the workers and it was only natural for a teen to get bored doing the same things over and over until they reached port, where yet again she was bored once more until they left.

Frankie wasn't all too sure why she was wondering around the Kid's Club, nor how she got there, but she knew she was bored and it was at least something to do. She decided to go and check out the shows they had playing there for the day, but of course to her dismay it had just ended. With a sigh she walked to the back of the stage where she wouldn't be noticed by the children and their parents hoping to see one of the performers for once and ask when she next show was.

She noticed her friend Antony getting ready for the next show so she thought it best to stay out for his way for now. Once he came back out in his new "clothes" she couldn't help but let out a small giggle. And although he did look alright in spandex the costume he had before overall was a bit too much for her. But Frankie didn't want to give him problems so she did the best she could by suppressing a laugh for his sake.

"Um, hello."

"Hey...Nice...Tights..." was all she could get out before she started to laugh. "I'm sorry that's...somewhat rude huh?" she said trying to stop herself from laughing. she wasn't sure why but spandex wasn't something she couldn't help but laugh at. "sorry I'm stop," she said gasping for air and wiping tears away from here eyes. "So how was the show today?" She tried to play it off like nothing was wrong and that she hadn't been laughing at him just a few moments ago. But she wasn't sure if it was working or nor, but oh well atleast she was attempting.

Tony glanced down at himself and shook his head. Ridiculous. It was the only word for it. Why had he decided this would be a good idea? Any job that required you to wear spandex was a big, red flag. A unitard was all in a days’ work, fine, but the stupid suit fit like a neon green second skin. It hugged every contour of his body, with a bright blue star stitched onto the front, displaying a bright pink “S” proudly. The only small mercy was the tiny pair of similarly hot pink briefs, which took care of the parts the costume designer had seen fit to squish to submission, but declared unsuitable for the children’s eyes. Of course, the kindness of the suit wasn’t nearly enough to make up for the blue boots with green stars he had to wear. The inch heels made dancing easier, especially the tap portion, but they looked ridiculous, and he felt like a hooker with boots up to his knees.
Almost ready, he thought, giving himself a little pep talk. He’d just put on the finishing touches, and then he would be totally in character and not feel quite so ridiculous. He heard a giggle behind him, and almost didn’t hold back the groan – he’d been hoping not to be spotted. He grabbed his hot pink cape and turned, fastening it. Once he was who it was, though, he raised an eyebrow.
“It’s a unitard, thank you very much, and it’s the very best in its class,” he responded snottily, spinning around to retrieve a tub from his bag, letting the cape billow behind him. Frankie apologised, and he returned his attention to her with a shrug.
“It’s cool. I’d laugh, too, if I could breathe,” he cracked, dimples flashing as he unscrewed the lid to the tub of green hair gel and began forming his hair into 3-inch lime green spikes with the same ease as a cheerleader tosses up a high ponytail.
“It went well. I expect to have a gaggle of ten-year-olds tailing me before all is said and done,” he shared, rolling his eyes. “I’d forgotten how much they could giggle. Did you ever giggle, my dear?”
Maybe it wasn’t a smooth move to tease your bosses’ daughter, but he was pretty sure she could handle it.
“So, what brings you to this part of our little world? Looking for fresh blood? ‘Cause, frankly, Frank, they’re just in it for your body,” he added sagely, laughing as the pair of preteens who’d been too cool for the Kids’ Club, but not to gawk at the pretty visitor, skittered back around the corner.

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me

Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if its not rough it isn't fun

His unitard was somewhat, too over the top for her taste. Frankie could make out just about every curve of his body and such since the spandex did cling to his skin a bit too well. Any other girl looking at him would have gawked at it all, but Frankie could really care less. Since all this seemed and was a somewhat normal sight for her, ever since she started living on the ship. Letting out one last giggle for the hell of it she looked him up and down for a moment as she spoke, "I'm starting to understand the shorts."

Frankie flashed him a small smile as she spoke, "Well I'm glad it went well as well as for the fact I see no ten-year-olds around you." Frankie knew he was just teasing her, but she didn't mind it all too much. Although it wasn't like most of the workers to tease their boss's daughter, but then again Tony wasn't like most people. "and giggling wasn't something i normally did," She let out a small laugh. "But from time to time I suppose I do."

Frankie laughed as well noticing the preteens run back around the corner at the mention of it all.
"I wouldn't doubt that one bit Tony, but fresh blood isn't what I had in mind today. No I'm just out and about for now, I didn't have much to do and I just finished talking to my father so. And clearly I have no idea what to do today so," She looked at him for a moment hoping he'd have some ideas for her to keep herself preoccupied for the day.
