The Prophet

Train follows the woman down the narrow hallway to door that has a star on it with the name Carson Daly written on it. The woman gestured for him to enter, so he pushed open the door and walked inside, closing the door behind him. Sitting in a chair facing a lighted vanity saw Carson Daly himself talking on his cell phone. He beckoned for Train to come in and to take a seat on the leather chair in the corner of the room. He quickly ended his conversation and tossed the phone on the vanity and turned to Train.

Carson: Glad you could make it. I've heard a lot about you Train.

Train: You're the prophet?!?

Carson: Don't look so surprised. TRL does have a sort of bigger purpose in the scheme of things. But that's beside the point.

The phone rings and Train turns to look at it.

Carson: Don't worry about that call it's just my agent.

Train: How do you know that?

Carson: Well I am a prophet. That and I have Caller I.D. Neatest gadget I've ever known. Now let's get down to business. Well, let's get a look at you.

Carson looks Train up and down then sits down on a chair and starts fussing with his hair.

Carson: Well you're a pretty one. But you're not THE One. Hate to tell ya that one. Do you think these highlights are too much?

Train: I'm not the one.....but, but B-Rok is dead set in thinking I am. What about him?

Carson: He'll have to deal with things. We've all got stuff to deal with in life. This is just something you've got to deal with.

There is a knock at the door and a woman with a headset on pokes her head in the door.

Woman: You're on in five Mr. Daly.

Carson: Alright, I'm on my way. *he turns to the very baffled looking Train* Look don't worry about things too much, these things have a way of working their way out. I know I've got something in here that'll make you feel a whole lot better.

Carson digs around in the vanity and pulls out a bag of Oreo's and a copy of Martha Stewart Living and tosses them to Train.

Carson: We all have our places in life. Those'll help you find your's. I guarantee that you'll feel better once you've had one of those Oreo's and once you do that crossword on page 5 of Martha Stewart Living. Bye Train.

Carson leaves the room through a hidden door ala Scooby Doo, leaving Train alone in the dressing room. A knock at the door is heard and then the woman comes back in to show Train the way back to the Green Room. Train walks over to B-Rok munching on the cookies and looking puzzled at the crossword puzzle. The two answers he has put down are misspelt.

B-Rok: What the prophet has told you is for you and you alone. Now let's blow this popsicle stand.
