This one I like to call:"Ace gets some flaws". It came from someone who said they didn't like Ace cos he was too perfect. But that was a long time ago. So here's part one of:"Ace gets some flaws".
All the loonatics are in the HQ doing stuff they usually do. Tech is doing Suduko, Rev and Slam are playing on the table tennis thingy, Duck is watching TV and Lexi is reading another tragic love novel (If she reads anymore of them books, she's gonna become all negative and more likely to think about death). Ace is no where to be seen.
Lexi: Has anyone seen Ace this morning? I don't think he came out from his room yet.
Duck: Tech. You should know. Ace and you are quite close. You seen him around?
Tech: No. Not since yesterday.
The doors open to reveal Ace (speak of the devil). He stomps in angrily with a magazine in his hand.
Ace: I can't believe it! How dare they make prejudice remarks about someone without knowing who they really are!
Duck: Oh my gosh! Ace is actually angry for once! Halaylluyah music comes on.
Duck: What's made him mad?! What's made him mad?!
Ace ignores Duck's comment and puts magazine on the table in front of Tech.
Ace: Look at this! Turns to the page and points at it. The others gather round to look at what the commotion was all about.
Duck: "Ace: Most unpopular guy because he's too perfect." So what are you complainig about? Isn't being perfect supposed to be... well... perfect?
Tech: Ace. Don't worry about it. It's just an ugly rumour. And hey, I'm not always perfect you know but I don't worry about it.
Duck: Oh yeah! So how come you get villainesses to kidnap you just so they can drule over you, become a mega sex symbol to all the ladies and make girls turn to jelly everytime they even took a glimpse at you?
Tech: Duck! Don't put it like that!
Ace: Look, thanks for your concerns but the paparazzi always tries to get the bad side of everyone. I'm just gonna have to wait until it blows over.
Lexi: Okay, if that's what you want.
Everyone goes back to what they're doing while Ace goes to the training room. He does a few kung-fu moves to computer dummies until Duck enters the room. Ace performs his finishing move and grabs a towel and rubs himself down.
Duck: That was good ya know. Maybe even perfect.
Ace: Duck, leave it out.
Duck: Well to tell you the truth, you are a bit of a perfectionist. You can do no wrong.
Ace: Leave me alone if you're gonna be annoying.
Duck: Fine. Fine. I'll go but then I wouldn't tell you how to boost your popularity up.
Ace: Perks up. Duck. What are you up to?
Duck: Nothing. I was just thinking of helping a friend in need. But if you insist on people pointing at you in the street saying:"Look. That's the guy who's too perfect for anything-"
Ace: Okay. Okay. What do I need to do?
Duck: Well first, we need to get you some flaws. Flaws that people would spot and sympathise with you, knowing that they have them flaws too.
Ace and Duck are in the lounge where Tech is meditating on that floating pillow thing.
Duck: Now Ace. Here's your first lesson: Irritation. Being really annoying when unnecesary.
Ace: Remind me again how this is supposed to get me flaws?
Duck: It's just to show you that other people will acknowledge the fact that you're not perfect all the time. Now go other there and poke Tech.
Ace: Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, what if I disturb him?
Duck: You don't think of things like that when you're being irritating! Just go poke him will you?!
Ace: Okay. Here it goes.
Ace goes up to Tech and pokes him his right arm gently. Tech doesn't respond.
Duck: whispers. Poke him harder!
Ace pokes Tech again harder than the last time.
Tech: Opens one eye Ace. What are you doing?
Ace: Nothing.
Tech closes his eye and continues once more. Duck motions Ace to go on. Ace pokes Tech again.
Tech: mad: Ace. Will you please stop that?
Duck: Whispers Go on!
Ace pokes Tech again.
Tech: Poke me once more and I will have to send you flying.
Ace glances at Duck as the Jaws theme tune starts playing.
Duck: Go on Ace! You can do it! Feel the annoying force inside you!
Ace hesitates as his finger slowly moves towards Techs arm. Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah...
:POKE:
All at once, you see a green blur sock a yellow blur as the yellow blur flies through the door breaking it down.
Screaming voice: Aaaaaaah! GET OUT YOU PERVERT!
The yellow blur flies out of the room again and flies into the kitchen. :CRASH!: Duck runs to see how badly damaged Ace is. (You wouldn't want to tell the doctor that you sent your friend to get socked twice. You have to make sure they're okay before you make up an excuse to why they're battered and bruised like that.)
Duck: Ace! Are you okay? What happened?
Ace: Groaning You saw me get hit by Tech.
Duck: I saw that! But what happened after that?
Ace: I flew into Lexi's room and she was half naked.
Duck: pause Wow Ace! I didn't think you had it in you!
Ace: Oooow...
Duck: No time for groaning on the floor Ace! We have to get on top of the roof!
Ace and Duck are standing on top of the HQ tower, over looking the city.
Ace: Duck. Don't you think it's a little dangerous to be standing on top of the roof. Looks down. Right at the edge?
Duck: Oh you can handle monsters and evil villains. But you can't handle jumping off the roof without a jet pack.
Ace: WHAT?!
Duck: Oh come on Ace! It's not like you're going to die.
Ace: Looks down over the edge. Duck. I may not as smart as Tech but I do know there is a slim chance that I will survive.
Duck: Oh quit bellyaching and jump! Pushes Ace off the building.
Ace: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Duck: Don't worry Ace! Just wait a few more minutes. Scream when you're near the ground.
Ace: I THINK I'M NEAR THE GROUND NOW! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Duck: Right I'll zoom down on my jet-pack and save you! Duck jumps off the roof then realisation hits him.
Duck: Oh crud! I forgot Ace's jet-pack and didn't realise I forgotten mine! AAAAAAAAAH!!!
So both our heroes are falling to their deaths but fortunately Duck has quantum quacking so he should remember he's got it.
Duck: Oh yeah! I have quacking! Ace! Grab onto me!
Ace: Why?!
Duck: Cos I can save you! Grabs Ace and quacks out of the air.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the HQ is quietly doing what they were doing. Unfortunately, the silence was about to be shattered as Duck and Ace materialise and land on the floor. Everyone stares in shock at this.
Duck: I know. I know. I know what you're gonna say. Imitates Aces voice. Thank you almighty and wonderous Danger Duck for saving my life! I am eternally grateful and therefore will owe you my life .
Ace: That's not what I had in mind.
Duck: Oh really? What did you have in mind? Hoping for some great reward.
Ace: GET OFF ME!!!
Only then Duck realises he is still sitting on Ace.
Duck: Oospie! Sorry! He gets off Ace. Ace gets up.
Ace: Whispers. Duck. Next time you want to chuck me off the building, let me know before hand so I can get a jet-pack... or insurance.
Ace is stomping off to his room when Duck manages to catch up with him.
Duck: Hold on Ace! Wait!
Ace: NO! I had enough of your stupid stunts and your stupid schemes.
Duck: They're not stupid! They are exercises to boost your popularity up.
Ace: BOOST?! BOOST?! Then what does jumping of the building got to do with boosting up my popularity?! Huh?! Tell me that!
Duck: Look, we're just off to a bad start. Like... how long did it take you to become a black belt in kung-fu?
Ace: Five or six years.
Duck: Right! You can't just become the best at something in a few seconds. It takes time to learn these things. Please. Tell me you're not gonna give up because you had a shakey start.
Ace: Pause then looks at Duck. Just as long as you don't chuck me off the building again, then I'll try a little harder.
Duck: That's the spirit Ace! Let's go! Grabs Aces hand and drags him along the hallway.
Ace: Aah!
Ace and Duck are now in the games room where Slam is just tucking in to his choclate bar.
Duck: You see Slam Ace? The next exercise is manipulation. The ability to turn the game to your advantage.
Ace: So what do I have to do to achieve this next exercise?
Duck: You're gonna go and steal the choclate bar he's got in his hand.
Ace: What?! Duck! You and I know that stealing a choclate bar off Slam is practically suicide?!
Duck: Don't worry. It's only an exercise. What can go possibly wrong?
Ace: Well apart from getting my hand bitten off literally, I very much doubt I have a chance of survival if I steal it off him.
Duck: Ace. Remember what I said.
Ace: Takes a deep breath.I don't know why I'm doing this.
Ace walks up to Slam and then looks back at Duck.
Duck:
Ace sighs then looks back at Slam.
Ace: Look Slam! A choclate cake!
Slam turns round to look but realises there is no choclate cake. He turns back to find Ace holding the choccy bar in his hand.
Slam:
Ace: Erm... you want it back?
Now you see a purple blur smack a yellow blur as the yellow blur smashes through the broken door again.
Screaming voice: I TOLD YOU BEFORE! GET OUT YOU PERVERT!
The yellow blur flies out of the room and into the kitchen again. :CRASH!: Again, Duck rushes to Aces aid.
Duck: Ace! Are you okay?
Ace: After getting socked by three people, four times in one day, I say I'm hurt a lot. Plus, I flew into Lexi's room when she was almost naked again.
Duck: Whoa! Ace! You really are a horny devil today!
Ace: Eeeeehhhh.... I might as well lay down here and die.
Duck: No time for that! We have to get you into your room so we can do the "understanding" exercise.
All the loonatics apart from Ace and Duck are in the lounge. Tech is reading the newspaper on the table, Lexi is reading a magazine and Rev is playing chequers with Slam.
Tech: Have any of you guys noticed anything strange about Ace's behaviour?
Lexi: And if that wasn't enough, he tried to look at me while I was getting myself dry.
Tech: Woah! He must be really taking that popularity thing badly. Could he get any worse?
Rev: Ummm-Tech. I-think-you-said-it-a-bit-too-late. He points as Ace and Duck tip-toe backwards from Ace's room.
Ace: Duck. How is this meant to help me with my understanding?
Duck: It helps you learn to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Children, OAPs and women alike.
Ace: Well, just as long as the others don't see me, then I'm okay.
Tech: Ace?
Ace turns round quickly tom reveal himself in a tight, pink, dress, with heavy make-up all over his face.
Tech, Rev and Slam:
Lexi: Is that my dress and make-up you're wearing?!
Ace: Duck! You said this come from a charity shop!
Duck: The shop was closed when I got there. I had to use what we had.
Tech: Ace. What are you doing wearing a dress?
Duck: Go on Ace. Use the magic excuse.
Ace: Sighs I felt like dressing up and seeing what I would look like as a woman. Lexi, I hope you didn't mind me using your dress. After all you are a girl and girls do wear dresses.
Lexi: YOU FIGURED THAT OUT NOW?!
Smacks Ace across the room into Ace's bedroom.
Lexi:MEN!!!
Stomps out into the training room while the others looks at Ace's room in absolute shock.
After Ace's drama queen act, it is dinner time and the other loonatics (apart from Ace and Duck are sitting round the table eating nira-tama (a meal which has eggs and leeks in it as the main ingredients). They are all deeply concerned about Ace's strange behaviour. Well. Everyone except Lexi who is really peed off with him after seeing her half naked twice and wearing her dress and make-up without her permission.
Lexi: Yeah! He certainly got our attention alright! Especially mine!
Slam: Grunt grunt grumble grunt grunt! (He's still upset about Ace stealing his choccy bar.)
The doors suddenly open to reveal Ace and Duck entering the dining room.
Duck: Okay Ace. You know what to do.
Ace nods his head sadly as he goes into the kitchen.
Tech: You know? I think Ace's strange behaviour might have something to with Duck.
Lexi: What do you mean?
Tech: Well, every accident Ace's been involved in, Duck was always there to bandage his wounds. And that isn't "Duck" behaviour.
Lexi: I think you're right. We should talk to him now.
Duck sits down at the table.
Tech: Duck. Since you been with Ace all day, you must know what's going on with him?
Duck: I don't know. Yes, he's been acting strange. But I never asked him if anything was bothering him.
Lexi: If you don't know what's going on, then what's Ace doing with that frying pan?
The others turn round to see Ace holding a frying pan in front of him.
Ace: I will do this! I will do this... even though it will hurt... a lot. And I might end up in Accident and emergency. But I must do this! I can't be perfect all the time!
Lexi: Explain that one Duck.
Duck: Okay. I confess. Ace wanted his fans to like him but they don't like him because they say he's too perfect. So he decided to get some flaws so he wouldn't be so perfect. With the help from yours truly of course .
Tech: And now Ace is willing himself to hit himself on the head with a frying pan?
:BONG:
Ace: Ooooooooooooow!!!
Tech: Correction. Ace has willed himself to hit himself on the head with a frying pan.
Duck: Alright, alright. I'll tell him to stop. Gets up from table. And I was really looking forward to seeing Ace running down the street in his underwear as well.
Other loonatics apart from Ace and Duck: YOU WERE PLANNING WHAT?!
Duck goes up to Ace. Ace has put a bag of frozen peas on where he hit his head.
Ace: Hiya Duck. Do I have to do anything else?
Duck: No. You don't have to get yourself anymore flaws.
Ace: You mean... I've learned everything there is to getting flaws?
Duck: No. But I suggest you get back to your perfect self before you get yourself killed.
Ace: Are you sure? You sure you're not just teaching me mistrust?
Duck: Pause. No! Why would I wanna do that?!
Ace: Well...
Duck: Don't answer that! Just don't do anymore stupid things okay?
Ace: Okay.
Duck leaves Ace to recover as Tech walks up to him.
Tech: Are you okay Ace?
Ace: Getting there.
Tech: You know. Since Duck has done all those horrible things to you, aren't you gonna get your own back on him?
Ace: I'm working on it.
Tech: So what are you gonna do to get your own back then?
It is the next morning, and Ace is just reading a magazine in the living room while Tech is doing his Sukduko. Lexi is brushing her hair and Rev and Slam are playing the good old rock, paper, scissors. Duck then enters the room.
Lexi: Well at least everything is back to normal now.
Tech: Well, normal by our standards.
Duck: Yeah. And at least Ace is not gonna do anymore crazy stunts.
Ace: Hey! It was you who made me do them! Other than that, yeah. I'm glad I'm not gonna risk losing my life just so I can get good publicity.
Ace carries on reading as Duck peers over at Ace.
Duck: What are you reading Ace?
Ace: Oh just a bit of news and gossip that's all.
Duck: What sort of news and gossip?
Ace: The normal kind. You can have the magazine after me.
After a few minutes of reading Ace's eyes lifts up.
Ace: Hey Duck! They did a good page on you.
Duck: Finally! My heroic deeds have been recognised! Takes magazine off Ace. Now I shall be able to bask in my heroic glory!
But what Duck sees, is himself in a pwetty pink pwincess dwess with a pwetty gold tiara on top of his head. His face is heavily covered in make-up. The others crowd round to see the embarrassing page. And as soon as they saw it, they immediately burst out laughing.
Lexi: Woah Duck! Hee hee... "Duck is a girl and here's the proof!" Ha ha ha!
Tech: Let's see! Takes the magazine. "After saving the world from evil villains and natural disasters, how else does Duck chill out by trying out new ideas for his superhero costume for his next mission" ha ha ha!
Rev: Ha ha ha! Takes magazine. "Many say he tries to be masculine and manly but we all know that inside, he is a feminine duck who tries so hard not to care about his gender confused state" ! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
Slam: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
Duck: No! They ruined me! Stop laughing! STOP LAUGHING!!! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!
