[|The Weird Number v2010: The Sequel]
THE FOLLOWING IS JUST AN IDEA.

//(scary music)//

//__**Narrator:**__// My story concerns the strange events that took place in a little town nestled in the mountains. A little town only inhabited by //Rational Numbers.// Since the recent discovery of fractions, the town of Rational was getting along perfectly. There was a rumor going around that there were numbers that lived in the dark woods beyond the mountains. But no one could think of a number that wasn't a rational number, so no one believed the rumor. In that town there were no robberies,because no one ever took more or less then themselves. For example, if 5 were to buy some cake, he would buy 5 cakes. If 2/3 were to steal some muffins, he would take a muffin, cut it into 3 pieces and take 2 of them. Because of this the thief could be easily identified, so there were no robberies, and no one bothered to lock things up.

//__**One, the mayor:**__// Hello Nine, may I have 1 loaf of bread please?

//__**Nine, the baker:**__// Sure, one loaf coming right up. Hello Seven, would you like cakes or bread today? //__**Seven, the barber:**__// Cakes please,

//__**Nine, the baker:**__// Seven cakes coming right up. Oh hello two twelfths. I cut your favorite corn bread into 12 pieces and have 2 pieces waiting in the back. Let me get it for you.

//__**Narrator:**__// All of the numbers who lived in this town could take many forms. For example, 1, the mayor could be 5/5, a 5 on top and a 5 on the bottom, 6/6 a 6 on top and a 6 on the bottom, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 10/10 and many other forms. 2/3, the scoundrel, could also be, 4/6, 8/12, 18/27, and many other numbers. Every number could take the form of a natural number on top, and a natural number on the bottom. That was simply the way things were.

//Scene 1: Farm// //__**Narrator:**__// Nine was walking happily to the farm that was owned by 1/2 to get some flour. When he ran into 5 and his new wife 3 with their new baby; 3/5. He stopped to say have a chat.

//__**9:**__// What brings you two newly weds here? Oh! Isn’t 3/5 adorable?

//__**3:**__// Thank you, thank you. We were just here to get some milk from ½.

//__**9:**__// Oh! I was just here to get some flour for 1’s birthday cakes. I was planning to bake a few cakes of different types for the picnic.

//__**5:**__// Perfect! Let’s go in together.

//__**Narrator:**__// So the four numbers proceeded into 1/2's farm. There they talked about 1's birthday party that the numbers were going to surprise him with that evening in the forest. They went back to town where 9 returned to his bakery to bake some cakes.

//Scene 2: Forest (party + weird numbers)// (scary music) //__**Narrator:**__// All the numbers gathered just inside the forest, laying out their decorations, food and gifts. They hung signs and balloons from trees and put blankets laden with goodies on the forest floor. 763, the sheriff was getting everything in order.

//__**763, the sheriff:**__// All right everybody, Quiet down, Quiet down. Everybody get behind a tree, he's coming. //__**Narrator:**__// All the numbers hastily hid behind trees and bushes as 1 walked into the forest absentmindedly humming a tune. //__**All the Numbers:**__// SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!! **//__1:__//** Oh! My friends, thank you so much! This means so much to me. //(1 keeps talking while narrator talks, voice dying down to a stop.)// //**__Narrator:__**// And so the numbers feasted and celebrated, enjoying themselves very much when 9 and 5 heard a noise. It was a rustling sound in the leaves. The two looked into the bushes to investigate when suddenly they saw the worst thing ever! It looked like a never ending stream of numbers! 3.141592653589793 and it just kept going and going on forever. 9 and 5 stepped back in horror when they saw the terrible creature. **//__9:__//** It's horrible! **//__Narrator:__//** ... cried 9, hearing this 763, 1/2 and 1 ran over to 5 and 9. But before they could do anything the weird number stole the cake and ran away! __//**763:**//__ __**AFTER IT!**__ **//__Narrator:__//** ...Shouted 763. 9, 5, 1/2, and 1 chased the creature through the woods trying to find it's end but in vain. Finally the numbers trooped back to their little town nestled in the mountains. None of the numbers slept well that night. The next morning 1 called a town meeting with all of the numbers. **//__1:__//** Hello fellow numbers. As you all know, something strange is lurking in the woods. We must find it! **//__All the numbers:__//** Hear! Hear! **//__1:__//** We will find out what it is! **//__All the numbers:__//** Hear! Hear! //(the cries of the crowd while narrator speaks, die down to a stop)// //**//__Narrator:__//**// And so, right there, 1 sent out 763, 5, 9, 1/2, 2/12 and 7 to find the Weird Number. //(Thunder crashes, scary music, view of mountain. Zoom in on woods)// //Scene 3: The Number Hunt and the symbols.// //**__Narrator:__**// 763, 5, 9, 1/2, 2/12 and 7 trudged through the woods, battered by the rain and not knowing what the number was. Finally, they came to an clearing with an over hanging cliff. The weary numbers ran to take refuge under the cliff. 9 unloaded his food basket, and produced enough bread and jam for everyone, including 763. **//__5:__//** We ought to go home soon, 1 must be wondering where we are. //__**7:**__// I agree with 5. **//__9:__//** But we haven't found the mysterious number yet. Everyone back in the town will be so disappointed if we go back now. I say we try for a little bit longer. **//__763:__//** I agree with 9. **//__9:__//** 1/2, 2/12 what do you to think? //__**1/2:**__// Well, I see what 5 is saying, but I don't think we can go back empty handed. **//__2/12:__//** My sentiments exactly. **//__Narrator:__//** So the numbers were just about to pack up and leave, 763 and 9 had gone into the clearing, when they saw something coming into the clearing. It was a symbol, it looked like a horizontal line on top of top of two vertical lines. Why it wasn't a number at all! 763 and 9 stepped back in horror! **//__9:__//** It's horrible! **//__Narrator:__//** The rest of the numbers came out from under the cliff to see what was so horrible and gasped at the sight of another figure climbing out of the bushes. But it wasn't the same creature as the one they saw before. It was a strange symbol! It had a line on top and two lines coming out from the bottom, the lines coming out from the bottom were curved a bit at the end. **//__Pi:__//** I'm... sorry if I disturbed anything... I live in the dark woods on the other side of the mountain, and I wanted to see what was on this side of the range. __**//Narrator://**__ Said the strange creature **//__9:__//** What about that other thing **//__Narrator:__//** Said Nine **//__Pi:__//** What thing?

**//__9:__//** It-it-it had a 3 and then it had a dot and then it had an endless row of numbers... and it stole my cake! **//__Narriator:__//** Said 763 **//__Pi:__//** Oh, that's pi, he's a real scoundrel //__**5:**__// Are there, other numbers in the woods like you and that pi?
