[Start of Story] [Nucleus is sitting on a chair. He has his feet on the table.

He is scanning some documents though his eyes look tired.] NUCLEUS: Screw this problem! Its just an overproduction of mucus. It happens all the time. Its the respiratory and immune systems fault. Not mine. I dont need to know these things. Am I brain? For Petes sake, no. Im just the head of a cell in this humans toes. *sigh* Im going to take a nap. [Nucleus closes his eyes then hears the noise outside his office. He sits up and then sees what is happening.] ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Youre not even doing anything! Youre useless! CELL MEMBRANE: Useless? USELESS YOUR FACE! [Nucleus silently enters the scene.] RIBOSOMES: *loud whisper* HEY! OUR BOSS IS HERE! NUCLEUS: Whats happening here? ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Well this fat faced membrane just called me fat! CELL MEMBRANE: SHE CALLED ME USELESS! If someone call you useless and it didnt make you hurt deep inside, I dont know what will. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Well you are useless! YOU JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH US WORK! CELL MEMBRANE: You think I dont NUCLEUS: That is enough. Listen to me first. Let us have an open forum. Let us be honest of our feelings just for this moment. Is that okay? ALL: Yes, sir. NUCLEUS: All I want you to do is tell everyone what you want to say. Then react if you want to react. Okay? [Everyone will nod.] NUCLEUS: Who wants to start? [Ribosomes raise her hands. Nucleuss phone buzzed.] NUCLEUS: *raises his hands out to Ribosomes* Hey. Whats up? Oh. Wow. How the hell did you know that? Okay. Ill tell them. Bye. Thank you. *places the phone back to his pocket* My long lost sister, Mitochondria, from the Bandera Espaola Species Number 014 in Rosales Garden of Green Grass and Rainbow Flowers, called me. She said she heard that were having an open forum and she wants to share her opinions, too. Sorry, shes nosy. Shell text it to Wait heres the message. *reads from the phone* Hello everyone. Im Mitochondria. First and foremost, I am so happy that you guys are having this open forum. We dont get to do that here. Our Nucleus is such a b--well I cant say the word, can I? Second, I know that Im nosy. Its just that your mitochondria is anti-social so I assumed that he wont be here. BUT SOMEONE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF A MITOCHONDRIA. AND I WILL BE THAT PERSON! Okay. It is actually our job to change chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. Without us, food will be useless for the cells. Were important. That is all. *closes the phone* I think our Mitochondria will agree with that. Okay, Ribosomes, your turn. RIBOSOMES: Im important even though Im not that big.

CELL MEMBRANE: NOT THAT BIG? YOURE TINY! 25 NANOMETER IN DIAMETER! *laughs loudly* RIBOSOMES: SHUT UP! *glares at Cytoplasm* Anyway, my point is even though Im 25 nanometer in diameter, Im very active in making proteins. Proteins are cool. And, Sir, my brother, Lysosomes, asked me to give this to you. *hands a scroll* NUCLEUS: What is that? Read it aloud. RIBOSOMES: Er, okay. *reads the scroll aloud* NUCLEUS: Wow. Well, okay. Weve heard the sides of Mitochondria, Ribosomes and Lysosomes. Just talk if you want to talk. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Well, Im not useless! Just so everyone knows, without me, each of you will not receive any important materials. And yes, Ms. Cell Membrane, that includes you. Also, proteins that are released or exported from the cell are synthesized by me. I am an endoplasmic reticulum. Endoplasmic reticulums are never useless! Oh and BTW, my friend, Golgi Bodies, I know her name sucks, wants to say something. She said that without her, lysosomes will not be here. Shes also responsible to modify, collect, package and distribute molecules made at one location of the cell and used at another. CELL MEMBRANE: I THINK ITS NOW OUR TURN. You, organelles, should know that I act like a door. Since you are busy working in this company, I always make sure I know what enters and leaves the company for your protection! If Im not here, probably a molecule of Plutonium has enter this company. Oh, Sir Nucleus, please tell your sister that the Cell Wall does the same thing. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Oh, look. Something is materializing from the dark! [Choloroplast will appear in the shadows.] CHLOROPLAST: *boring voice* Hellooooo everyooooooone. Im Chloroplaaaaaaaast. This is a holograaaaaaaaaaaaam. If youuuuu dooooont knoooow what a Chloroplaaaaaaast does, Ill teeeeeeell youuuu. Immm the onlyyyy one that can traaaaap energy of sunliiiight and conveeert it intoooo chemical energyyyyy. That is all, good byeeee. [Chloroplast will vanish.] CYTOPLASM: Now you heard all of your beliefs. All I can say is that all of you played an important role for the company. But the decision still lies on our manager, Nucleus. NUCLEUS: I think I dont need to say more. You know what you have to do. [Hugs each other.] [End of Story]
