Have you ever wondered how Rick and Diana first met and decided to date each other? I haven't, but if Pike Nighttrap forced me to write a story about it, that story would go something like this:
The scene: A public park. A bunch of people are there to celebrate Halley's eighth birthday.
Jean: Guess what, Halley? We've got a magician to perform for your birthday!
Halley: Cool! I love magicians!
Emmy: Me too!
Jean: Well, you'll love this one! We picked him out especially for you because he's the cheapest-er, the BEST magician in town: Rick G.! (Jean points towards a tree and nothing happens). Rick G.! (nothing happens) Just a second, everyone!
Jean walks up to the tree and calls into the branches above.
Jean: Hey, Rick!
Rick leans down from one of the higher branches, where he was hiding.
Rick: Hey! Is there any cake left?
Jean: Never mind that! Rick, you missed your cue!
Rick: I did? Whoops. Can we try it again?
Jean: Okay.
Jean walks back to everyone.
Jean: Okay, let's start again! Halley, be prepared to see the magician, Rick G.!
Rick: (calling from the tree) GREAT magician!
Jean: (rolls eyes) The great magician, Rick G.! (points at the tree)
There is a poof of smoke at the bottom of the tree, and when it disappears, Rick is there.
Rick: Ow! I hurt my leg jumping down to the ground! I mean...Hello Halley! Happy birthday!
Halley: Wow! How'd you know it was my birthday?
Rick: Magic! Plus it says "Happy Birthday Halley" on the birthday cake!
Halley: How come you have an initial instead of a last name?
Rick: Er...I made my last name disappear! All except the first letter, of course! That's how magical I am!
Halley: Cool! Do some more magic!
Rick: Okay! Pick a card, any card!
Halley: What card?
Rick: Whoops, I forgot my cards. Um, next trick: There is nothing up my sleeve, right?
Halley: Right...
Rick: Okay, so out of my pocket, I pull...a ribbon!
Rick gives the ribbon to Emmy.
Rick: For you, cutie!
Emmy: Yay!
Halley: (rolls eyes)
Rick: That's not my only trick! See my hat? I can make a pigeon come out of it!
Halley: Hey, cool!
Rick: (hands Halley his hat) Make sure there's nothing in the hat!
Halley: (checks the hat) Yep, it's empty!
Rick: (takes the hat and turns it upside down on a table) So we know the hat is empty, but a pigeon will magically appear in the hat when I tap it with my wand. One, two, ABRACADABRA! (taps the hat with his wand) Viola!
Rick picks up the hat and a flock of pigeons appear. The pigeons then start attacking him.
Rick: (fighting off the pigeons) Ach! Ow! No!
Everyone: (laughs)
Rick: No fair, you guys! Leave me alone!
Eventually the pigeons fly away. Rick is red in the face.
Rick: Yes, well, that was a bit of a mistake.
Rick puts his hat back on, and realizes the pigeons left a little "present" for him inside the hat.
Rick: Ew! Bird poop!
Rick throws the hat on the ground and starts jumping on one leg. Everyone laughs again.
Halley: This guy is the greatest clown ever! You know, he really had me fooled by pretending to be a magician!
Jean: Uh...yeah, he's just a clown who pretends to be a magician.
While jumping around, Rick slips on the hat and is thrown backwards. He starts rolling down a hill.
Everyone: (laughs harder)
Rick crashes into a blonde girl called Diana.
Diana: Hey! Watch it, mister!
Rick: Sorry, lady!
Diana: You could have gotten my dress dirty! It's the night of the Mayor's Ball, and I can't have ANYTHING ruin my dress, got it?
Rick: Hey, I didn't mean to hit you! It was an accident.
Diana: (looks at Rick suspiciously)
Rick: Let me make it up to you. Would you like some cake?
Diana: Did you say "CAKE"?
Rick: Yes!
Diana: Okay!
Rick leads Diana to the party.
Halley: Who's that?
Rick: Erm, this is my assistant, Miss...
Diana: Diana.
Rick: Yep, she's here to help me do my magic tricks!
Diana: Magic tricks? You're a magician?
Everyone: (laughs)
Diana: You didn't say anything about magic! You just said I would get some cake!
Everyone: (laughs)
Rick: Well, we'll do some magic, and then we have some cake! Okay, for my next trick, I will turn Diana into a dog!
Diana: WHAT???
Everyone: (laughs)
Rick: Uh, fine, a cat.
Diana: Much better.
Rick: All I do is swing my wand at her head and...
Rick swings his wand at Diana's head and it shoots out pink fire.
Rick: Whoops!
Diana: MY HAIR'S ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
Everyone: (laughs)
Rick: Um, that wasn't supposed to happen...someone get some water!
Diana runs around in a circle, while Rick runs around, trying to find water. All he finds is a can of soda.
Rick: Let's hope this works...
Rick shakes the can really hard, aims it towards Diana, and opens it. The soda goes flying all over her dress.
Diana: MY DRESS!!! YOU RUINED IT!!! TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT OF THE MAYOR'S BALL!!! HOW CAN I SHOW UP WITH MY DRESS RUINED?!
Rick: Well, I managed to get the fire out, didn't I?
Diana: YOU IDIOT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Diana starts clobbering Rick.
Rick: Ow! Ow! Stop it!
Everyone: (laughing uncontrollably)
Voice: Diana? Is that you?
Diana turns around. Her date for the Mayor's Ball is shocked.
Diana's Date: What happened to your dress?
Diana: This idiot ruined it!
Diana's Date: What happened to your hair? It's pink!
Diana: Pink?!
Diana pulls out a mirror.
Diana: My hair! It's pink! You turned my hair pink, you crazy moron!
Rick: It'll come out! (gulps) I hope...
Diana's Date: Diana...I can't believe you! What are you trying to do, embarrass me?
Diana: What?
Diana's Date: You invite me to come to the Mayor's Ball with you, and you're a complete wreck! Do you know what I'd look like if I showed up with you like this?
Diana: I-
Diana's Date: We're through, Diana! Find someone else to humiliate!
Diana's date walks away, shaking his head.
Diana: No! NOOOO!!! WHO'S GOING TO GO TO THE MAYOR'S BALL WITH ME NOW???
Diana starts crying.
Diana: The Mayor's Ball is in two hours, and my date walks out on me! I'll never find a replacement in time! No one would want to go to the Mayor's Ball with me looking like this! I'm a failure!
Rick: I'll go with you!
Diana: (thinks about it) Well...you DO have a tuxedo already...
Rick: You bet!
Diana: Well...I guess no one else would agree to go with me, so okay.
Rick: Yay! I have a date!
Everyone: (applauds)
Diana: But this is just ONE date, buster! It's not like we're going to get married or something, okay?!
Rick: Okay.
Diana: Good. Now let's go get ready!
Rick: Not so fast! Let's have cake first!
Everyone: Yay!
Everyone has some cake, and later that night, Rick and Diana are a big hit at the Mayor's Ball. In fact, they're such a big hit that Diana decides to go on a second date with Rick, and the rest, as they say, is history.
