Like all writers, I often go through one or two drafts before the finished product. Sometimes the finished product is so different from the initial draft, you wonder how I got to that place in the first place.

Well, for the first time, you get to see the original, unrefined product. And since Melee School Boys: Battle of the Bands is done, I figured I'd do this as a special treat.

So, as Shakespeare said, "without further ado!"

[NOTE: Anything in strikeouts was crossed out in the draft.]

Marth, Roy, and Link were sitting in a classroom filled with students neither of them recognised. They were there for one reason: to take a test to be re-admitted to the Melee tournament. The challenge? That was up to Mewtwo, their teacher.

Roy slouched in his seat, the uniform jacket unbuttoned, the shirt untucked, and the tie loosened. He tapped a pen against the desk, awaiting the teacher's arrival. Marth sat up straight, his hands folded in front of him. The pen he loved so much (it was his lucky, personalized pen) was at the top of the desk. He cleared his throat, obviously nervous. Link was just sitting there. His hands were behind his head. A little nap wouldn't hurt...

The door slammed open. Roy nearly flung his pen at the person to the left of him (he sat next to a wall, see). Marth nearly choked on his own spit. Link nearly fell out of his chair. Mewtwo floated over to his podium, grabbed the book with his mind powers and opened it to the appropriate page.
"Bow, mortals, bow."

All of the students got stood up and bowed.
"Good morning, teacher," they said in unison. Mewtwo turned, faced the chalkboard, and wrote something on the board. Everyone took their seats.
"As you puny people know, you are being tested. Let's start with the Lecture."
"Lecture? What lecture?" someone shouted, but Mewtwo ignored them him.
"The Lecture should be easy, considering it's about what you studied."

'I'm going to fail,' Roy thought. 'Hey, maybe I can cheat off of Link.'
Link screamed like Nobuyuki Hiyama.
'Shit. I hope it was about cows.' Link was up all night watching the Cows Special on the Discovery Channel.
'Piece of the proverbial cake,' Marth thought and laughed like Hikaru Midorikawa. Mewtwo looked at him oddly.
"Yes, today's lecture is about...COWS."
"WHAT?" Marth screamed, jumping out of his desk, almost knocking it over.
"Why're you freaking out, Hikaru-chan?"
"Because I studied--did you just call me 'Hikaru-chan'?" Roy looked at him oddly.
"Anyway, I studied chickens!"
After screaming, he ran to the back of the room.

"Don't mind Marth. He just likes chickens," Roy said like Jun Fukuyama.
"DAMN THE CHICKENS TO HELL!" Marth yelled.
Link sighed like Nobuyuki Hiyama his voice actor.
"Alright, let's skip the lecture. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I HAVE WRITTEN ON THE BOARD."

Roy looked at the board and then at the notebook.
"'Who is Nobuyuki Hiyama and who does voice act for?' Uhm, Hiyama is some dude who does some midget from some anime and Nightmare from Soul Calibur." The Fourth Wall then broke.
"'Who is Jun Fukuyama, when's his b-day, how old is he, and who does he voice act for?'" Roy pondered this, pen in his mouth.
"I know! 'Jun Fukuyama is some dude who has auburn coloured hair and he lives in Japan. His birthday is November 26th, 1978 and he is twenty-eight years old. He is single. He voice acts some dude from Bleach and a bunch of video game anime characters and some video game character.' That sounds about right."

Link was stumped as to who this "Nobuyuki Hiyama" person was.
"Psst, Roy," Link said, whispering to the red head behind him. "What do you have for this Hiyama dude?"
"I ain't telling."
"Could you at least tell me who Jun Fukuyama is?" Roy glared at him.
"He's a big shot seiyuu that girls fangirl. There."
"Thanks," Link said and wrote down the info Roy gave him.

'Who's this Hikaru person?' Roy thought. He simply put "chicken hater" for him and went onto the next and final question.
"'Which of the three is the sexiest? Nobuyuki, Jun, or Hikaru.' Uh... Jun is, I guess. Which one would Jaden pick?" He pondered for a minute before writing "Jun Fukuyama" on the space provided.
Marth just wrote "CHICKENS ARE EVIL" and "O-ZONE ROCKS" and "HIKARU MIDORIKAWA JUN FUKUYAMA IS THE BEST SEIYUU EVER." on his paper.

Mewtwo cleared his throat and said, "Time's up, mortals. Here are the correct answers funded by Arts Vision Studios. Nobuyuki Hiyama is a seiyuu who has done voice work for many animes and video games. He is well-known for Hiei, Nightmare, Yoshimitsu, and Link's voices."
Link screamed like Nobuyuki Hiyama before knocking himself out. Mewtwo didn't notice and instead continued.
"Jun Fukuyama is a very sexy, auburn-headed seiyuu--wait, what? 'Sexy'? Who wrote my cue cards?"
Roy muttered something and Marth said chickens did it. Mewtwo sighed.
"Anyway, he was born November 26th, 1978, so that would make him twenty-eight. For bonus points, he's single and likes girls that wear glasses. He voices a certain auburn-headed swordsman--cue card maker, cross out 'auburn-headed swordsman' and put 'Roy'. Yes, thank you, mortal. And several anime characters. Two sources say that 'Jun is sexy' but their names are Jaden and Mewlon so they're weird biased." Roy wrote all that down.

"Hikaru...how do you say his last name? It has like, twenty letters, cue card maker, and most of them are vowels. Geitsundheit. He voices Marth. The last question: who's sexier? Jun Fukuyama is the answer, but Nobuyuki Hiyama and Radu Sarbu are also acceptable."
"Um," Roy said, once again sounding like Jun Fukuyama his voice actor, "There were only three choices."
"Quiet, puny mortal."
Marth stood up and said, "CHICKENS MUST DIE!" and ran from the room. Link came to and left the classroom to stop Marth from killing chickens, and Roy just laughed and said, "This reminds me of Pastel School Boys."

~Fin~
A/N: Uh, I can explain. This is just plain weirdness, and it's all Mewlon's fault. She got me into Pastel School Boys and Jun Fukuyama. So yeah. Don't read if random weirdness scares you. This was also written while I was listening to O-ZONE, so that might explain so the weirdness. [Beginning of story]

Yeah, the final version's better, eh?
