Track 12 – Mission Prep

Scene change to Eastern Theatre

Aaron:

There you are, hot stuff! And Syd, too!

Yingli:

Aaron, what can I help you with?

Aaron:

Wanna go on a date tomorrow?

Yingli:

Heh?

Aaron:

Let’s chat more in the theatre, there’s something I need from the manager and the costumes department.

Syd:

It’s not a simple date, is it?

Yingli:

It’s related to the request Aaron is working on.

Aaron (narration):

I told Yingli and Syd what went down.

Yingli:

Understood.

Syd:

Isn’t this too reckless? Just the two of you?

Aaron:

Don’t worry man, already got that covered.

Theatre manager:

Sorry for the wait, my Twins Stars. What can I do for you?

Aaron:

We’re working on a request, Yingli and I have to look like tourists, do you have any extra costumes laying around?

Theatre manager:

I have just the thing. Follow me.

Aaron (narration):

We followed the manager to a barely used room. Inside, we found two sets of costumes.

Theatre manager:

These are unused costumes given to me by a colleague. They are supposed to depict Shampoo and Ranma from an Eastern television show. Not too many people here know about it, so you two will look like fine tourists.

Yingli:

Ah… seems like Shampoo’s costume is a little too big for me.

Theatre manager:

Ranma’s costume is your perfect size.

Yingli:

That means-

Aaron:

I will be doing what I do best, play a female role.

Yingli:

I’ve never played a male role before, I’m not sure –

Theatre manager:

As Aaron’s understudy, you must know his mannerisms, correct? Just simply act them out.

Aaron:

You totally got this, hot stuff!

Yingli:

… Act like Aaron…

Syd:

This is turning out to be something. I can’t wait to see Yingli in her new role! (Laughs)

Yingli:

I will try not to disappoint.

Aaron (narration):

Good, I have all the pieces I need to get this going. Now, to do final prepping, I have to make some last calls.

Aaron:

Hey Fumin, hey Ashen. We will start the operation tomorrow after rehearsals. Ashen, I am counting on you for the backup.

Ashen:

Of course!

Fumin:

Thank you so much, Aaron!

Aaron:

Catch you two later.
