It's someones birthday....

Pre-show festivities - "Happy Birthday" is playing through the studio at high volume.

Mandy's franticly hanging balloons everywhere and bossing Rohan around. :Rohan! Get that gluten-free cake in the fridge now!!"

Rohan walks around confused, looking for the non-existant fridge. Finally just sitting the cake outside on the window ledge; "It'll keep chilled out there".

Troy and Trey are getting the life sized birthday cake in place. Trey: "Where did Brian come up with this idea? Who jumps out of cakes anymore? And why is a hollow cake so heavy?" Troy: "Well I did the other day... I was trying to win a prize at the ScheinerBoch convention and cake jumping was on the agenda...It shouldn't be heavy unless someone is inside...." Trey: "sigh...don't I have better things to do today? Wait...what? (whispering) Brian are you inside this cake?"

Mandy yells: "Shut up you morons!! They're coming down the hall! Cut out the lights!!! CUT OUT THE..."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTY!!!!!!" The four yell out in unison.

Christy is shocked at the sad display of festiveness.... thinks to herself: "Couldn't these idiots have come up with something a bit better?" But says aloud: "Thanks guys! You're..."

They cut her off with a loud rendition of "For she's a jolly good fellow!" while Mandy taps on the side of the gigantor cake thinking "He better not have fallen asleep in there..." Troy bursts out with: "But wait, there's more!" Jumping up and down like a littbe boy clapping him hands together. Trey elbows him "Don't give away the surprise!" Rohan throws up his hands at the trainwreck this is turning out to be.

At the last line of the song Brian bursts out of the cake yelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE!!!"

Silence fills the room.... why is Brian still in his Batman costume from halloween? Why does he have salsa all over his face and chip crumbs on his costume?

Mandy yells out in disgust: "I said dress NICE for her! I meant a suit or something....what's with this Batman thing? You know wearing the outfit doesn't make you the actual Batman! And the chips and salsa stains don't help your cause.... ugh. Sorry Christy I wanted your birthday to be a good one...."

Christy (trying to smooth everything over): "It IS a good one! And thanks guys for the nice surprise. (in a low voice) Brian, I said I liked you in the costume....that didn't mean never take it off..." Brian is still in the cake, hands raised high, huge grin on his face, thinking he's made Christy's birthday a success...

Rohan tries to corral the workers: "Alright everybody, that's all we have time for. Let's get this show on the road (so we can all get back to our real jobs...)"

Brian climbs out of the cake and starts bossing everybody around: "Right right, everybody get to your places. I've got a cracker show planned. Christy have you got the microphones all set up?"

Christy: "Ugh. Don't boss me! It's my birthday after all (I can't believe I'm even doing this fake radio show ON my birthday...)"

Mandy remembers the cake and jumps back out of her seat, knocking into the microphone on the way out......a loud screech invades the studio chaos...... "DANG MANDY! What's wrong with you??" Troy yells. Trey jumps up, gun in hand, ready to shoot the speakers an stop the noise. Christy jumps to action to get the noise stopped. At the soundboard she finds that Brian has dribbled salsa all over creating a sticky mess and congealing the buttons. Rohan has clapped his hands over his ears and is rolling on the floor in agony. Brian realizes he must be just as deaf as Christy says cos the noise isn't bothering him much. Finally Christy gets the noise to stop and everyone settles back down.

She gives the thumbs up and says we're on air in 5...4...3...2... Brian: "Welcome one and all to another rousing rendition of the show!" We'd like to all give a shout out to Christy on her birthday and have an on-air surprise we'd like to present." (Christy crossed her fingers and hopes it's an announcement of a hiatus in this fictitious show)

Mandy giggles in excitement and goes over to the window to get the cake, drawing back the window she reaches out to grab it.....and realises it's been eaten by a flock of birds, who all fly back around once the window is opened...filling the studio with their eagle eyes on the lifesize cake!! Everyone jumps up from their places, trying to shoo the mass of birds away. Trey pulls him gun out of its holster once again, Christy yells "Don't you kill these beautiful birds!!!" and runs in front of the gun to protect them. Brian hops around arms flaying trying to get the birds to stop pecking at him Batman costume.....Troy starts over to the cake on the window sill, wanting to find out if they're any crumbs left he can scavange.... Rohan's next to Trey encouraging him to shoot, asking did he bring another gun. "I hear Grackles are good eating Trey! Let's give it a go."

Mandy throws herself to the floor in a hissy fit. Christy sighs and goes to tell her it's all ok, she had a great birthday and would she PLEASE stop crying.......

Unbeknownst to everyone, the on-air sign in still lit and all is being broadcast to an astounded audience who's wondering what in the world has happened.....

Tune in next time: Will Trey and Rohan get to shoot a couple birds? Is this the end of Brian's Batman costume? Did Troy find any crumbs left to eat? Will The Superfriends include this episode in their highlights CD? Will Christy get another cake?
