Elmer Studios presents... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here we go with our 39th MSTing, a short little Sailor Moon SI from the man who bought us Takei. He churns them out in truckloads. Jamie: Oh joy, like I *really* needed to hear that! Edited by: Blazej Szpakowicz a.k.a. B Sailor Moon is copyright Naoko T./DIC. Ranger Saturn is copyright Mike Franklin, one of the least original writers I've ever seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The scene - a well furnished apartment, with two couches in an L formation in front of a large cabinet that includes a wide-screen TV and video recorder. The apartment has a few doors to who-knows-where, and a small kitchenette. A coffee table sits in front of the two couches, and a desk, home to a well-equipped PC sits off to one side.] [Dan is seated on the forwards-facing couch, flipping through a magazine. Rebecca enters.] Dan: Hey there. Rebecca: Oh, dear. Dan: What's with you? Rebecca: Nothing. [Sniggers] Dan: Hey! What are you laughing at? Rebecca: I just can't stop thinking of you in the plugsuit from NAE. Dan: What, showing off my manly physique? Rebecca: In Rei's plugsuit? Dan: Er... Oh yeah. God, that was stupid. Rebecca: At least there wasn't more of it. Dan: Yeah, still... Rebecca: Still what? Dan: I just can't help but wonder what if it had continued? Rebecca: Well... I guess it would be pretty much the same. You know, dumb Angels, Tsuneo being god boy, that kinda thing. Dan: well, I'd actually like to see how we get on with the real characters. Maybe Kaji would dump Misato for you. Rebecca: Better than who was perviously chasing me around. Dan: I dunno, it could have let a new side of you show through... [Rebecca grabs a cushion and whacks Dan repeatedly with it.] Dan: Okay, alright! Sorry! Rebecca: Of course, I would like to know if we get a replacement for Big Gay Kaoru. Dan: [Grins evilly] And since wonder boy's the hero of the story... [Rebecca and Dan laugh at the thought.] Rebecca: Whatever. Just so long as I could get my EVA repainted. I wouldn't mind a black and red EVA-03, like Jon's. Dan: I bet you also wouldn't mind it if Jon himself showed up, hmm? [Rebecca grabs a cushion and whacks Dan repeatedly with it.] Dan: Ow... Never mind. Rebecca: Yes, but will you be able to once again master the Evangelion Unit 01 and defeat the Angels? Dan: Of course! Rebecca: [Sighs] But it could be fun. Dan: With a few edits, of course. Rebecca: Like me getting my aura of smooth fixed. Dan: And me getting a proper plugsuit. Rebecca: And of course, an extended scene of us both kicking Tsuneo's head in. Dan: Naturally. Rebecca: Could be fun... Dan: Hey, is there any fanmail? Rebecca: Just a sec... [Rebecca sits at the computer desk and fiddles with the mouse for a second. Dan gets up and stands behind her.] Dan: Let's see now... This one's from Captain Bungie: > Hello, guys living on the other side of the planet. > I just read a couple of your latest MiSTs, and I must say; your team is > becoming about as good at riffing EVA fics as the Kazei 5 are at riffing > BGC fics; at least in that. > As for Neon Australian Evangelion: > Well, I like Dan, but I like Rebecca(you know, a friend of mine's mom is > named Rebecca, too...odd) more. > And I'd like to see her bash Dan's brains in with a steel folding chair > even more!(in the end, though, Rick's my role model in life) > Either way, this seems like a good time to announce my plans for the > "Rebecca Bartley is Pretty Damn Groovy Fan Club"- Dan: [Shakes head] What a poor, sad, deranged individual. Rebecca: Hey! I think that's a great idea. Dan: Well, yeah, you would. > *In a flash of yellow light, the Chatterer Cenobite emerges from the pits > of hell and clamps down the Mandible Claw on an unsuspecting Bungie* > GAAAGCK--!!! > ----------END TRANSMISSION Rebecca: Ah... Okay. Dan: You lost me. But thanks anyway, Cap. Rebecca: Any more? Dan: Just one from Sgt. Anjay > On Neon Australian Exodus: > Bravo! Bravo!! That was very much quite enjoyable. Rare when the fanfic is > competing with the riffing for entertainment value, but this one was. Very > much sillyness in abundance, and laughs everywhere. A bit much of the > Fruedian themes though......guy kinda needs some kind of a healthy outlet for > that. Ah well. Rebecca, Dan......I gotta tell ya, them were some accurate > characterizations. Dead on. Although I did start to kinda feel sorry for > Dan......poor guy. Didn't really deserve that punishment. Well, not all of > it. And....*ahem*.....any way I could get a copy of that shower scene at the > end there? Know what I mean, know what I mean? Nudge nudge, wink wink, say > no more say no more?? Rebecca: Can I kill him? Please let me kill him. Dan: Now, now, don't maim the fans. > Enskiways, big thumbs up, five stars, and a 10 out of 10 on the > Anjay-O-Meter©! Rebecca: Whatever one of those is. Dan: Thanks, Anjay! [Samantha walks into the apartment dressed in a red plugsuit and with her hair tied back into a ponytail. Alexander walks in a few seconds later, dressed up like Trunks from DragonBall Z, including the big sword.] Samantha: Hey guys... long time no see [notices Dan staring at her] Do you have a death wish? Dan: Jeez, don't always expect the worst of me. But you are loking as good as ever. Alexander: Hi Rebecca... how goes it? Rebecca: Adequate, all things considered. [Glares at Dan] Samantha: And in case you're wondering about our get ups, we just got off filming a fanfic. Alexander: We had to take up jobs as stunt men. It pays good but... [winces and rubs his shoulder] ... it hurts like hell. Samantha: At least *you* never had a ton of scaffolding dropped on you... Alexander: Hah! That's nothing compared to being ki blasted into the side of a cliff. Dan: You know Sammy, you really don't look much like Auska. Rebecca: She's a stunt double. She doesn't have to. Dan: But I like the outfit none the less. [Samantha clobbers him] Rebecca: That's the spirit. Alexander: Ouch, that looked like it hurt, Dan. Voice: Hi there. Good to see you two. Samantha: Huh? Oh yeah, the voice. Alexander: Man... can't you just come and visit us in person? You're going to freak someone out permanently doing that, you know. Rebecca: OK, Holly, what do you have for us today? Dan: Is he the senile version or the conehead version? Rebecca: Actually, he's the blonde version. Voice: Hey! Dan: Um, the fic? Voice: Oh... Um... Yeah. Today we've got a Sailor Moon- Rebecca: Aaak. Voice: Fanfic. Which is why I invited them around. Rebecca: To get something other than Anti-Moonies and Drooling Fanboys, right? Samantha: That and we're getting paid, right? Right? [Waits for an answer] Alexander: I think the silence means that we're not. Samantha: Well, that sucks. [They sit down. Rebecca and Samantha on the couch facing the screen, Dan and Alexander on the other one.] Dan: By the way, Sammy, remind me to clobber Jamie for NAE next time I see him. Samantha: [eyes flash red] Hurt my author and you kiss pavement, got it? [The TV Switches on] >Sailor Moon: Part 1 >by Mike Franklin Samantha: Mike Franklin... you know, that name sounds pretty damn familiar. Voice: He's the authour of "BGC OVA" and creater of Takei Orochi. Samantha: Ahhh... thanks... Dan: SO I suppose it's going to be an SI where he snogs a scout. >I would usually title all my stories, Rebecca: [Authour] But I can't be bothered today. Tough luck. >but I don't remember the title >actually given to this one. When you read along, you'll figure out what >episode it is of. Alexander: Selective amnesia? Samantha: Too bad it couldn't have selected the fanfic. >-------------------------------------------------------- >Sailor Moon >Ranger Saturn Alexander: The new line in luxury cars. >"Wow, the sun is sure bright today," Serena said, Dan: Well if you didn't spend all day staring at it... >wiping the sweat from her brow. >"Yeah, it's so nice," Amy agreed, walking alongside her friend through the >park. Alexander: Ami-chan! ^_^ Whoa! Oh, that's Amy, not Ami... *sigh* Samantha: He gets them mixed up all the time. You should have seen him once when he went to snuggle with Ami and it ended up being Amy... talk about being embarrased! Alexander: Hah hah, very funny big sister... Dan: [Grumbles incoherently] Alexander: Pardon? What did you say, Dan? >Both Amy and Serena were on a stroll through the park Dan: Didn't you just say that? Rebecca: The Department of Redundancy Department starts early. >near their >neighbourhood. It was the largest greenspace in all of Tokyo. Alexander: Mind you, it was only about three by five meters. >Their other >friend, Rei, lagged behind, Samantha: [Rei] Stupid AOL... fast my ass! Dan: Um... Hello? Shouldn't that be Raye, not Rei? Rebecca: No, it's Rei Ayanami. She's here on a visit. Dan: [Sarcastic] Maybe she's doing the stuntwork. Alexander: Or else the author dosen't know the diffierence in the North American and Japanese names. >staring out into the lake at the center of the >forest of trees. Samantha: Trees in a forest? Orignal. >"It would sure be nice to take a boat out on the lake. The >water's so clear." Rebecca: You can almost see the sea mines. Alexander: Oh look, there's the Titanic going under. >Amy and Serena stopped, waiting for her to catch up. Alexander: She's on AOL, you'll be waiting a long time. Rebecca: Poor Rei was so behind in her classes she may have to repeat. Dan: What do you expect? They teach in English. Rebecca: Is this gonna turn into an extended DiC bashing session? Dan: Probably. Samantha: And this is a bad thing because... >"You're right, Rei," >Amy stated to her friend. "I could certainly learn to settle down in a boat >for a while and read a good book." Alexander: And the boat gets a leak just as she's reading "How to swim in Ten easy steps." Samantha: And when she finds it's written in Atlantean, she pulls out a "Teach Yourself Atlantean" book. >Both Amy's friends groaned. "Don't you ever think of anything other than >school or learning?" Serena asked her. Rebecca: Serena's panties? >"You've got to relax sometimes." Dan: [Serena] Let your medication take effect. Samantha: Yes! Go on and strip! Strip and be free! Burn the bra! Burn the bra! Alexander: Uh, big sister? >"She's right, Amy." >All of them turned to see an elder man looking at them. Rebecca: Wearing a loose fitting grey robe with a big floppy collar. Dan: Red, green or yellow? Samantha: Yeah, that's pretty obscure. >Amy smiled to him. "Hello Mr. Baxter. How are you doing today?" Samantha: [Mr. Baxter] There were weeds in the flower garden, a tree fell on me, the squirrels ganged up on me and stole my lunch. Dan: [Mr. Baxter] Just a normal day, all in all. >Mr. Baxter removed his cap. "Pretty well, considering." Alexander: [Mr. Baxter] The Ozone layer is depleting, economy is in a rut... but other then that, pretty well. >She smiled again. "Serena, Rei, I'd like you to meet Mr. Baxter. He's the >gardener here at the park." Samantha: So, did *you* know that someone who tends flowers is a gardener? I swear, you learn something new every day... >"Well, I'm soon not going to be, Amy." Dan: Well, I'd hope you're not going to be Amy. Rebecca: Did anyone actually understand that? Samantha: [Yoda] Bad grammar it was, confuse you it did. >She looked at him with puzzlement. "What do you mean?" Alexander: [Mr. Baxter] It means I'm gonna be fired, ya twit! >"There's a new commercial estates development coming through here. They're >going to build a mini-mall on top of this land, so enjoy it while you can." Rebecca: Mr. Baxter, up on his soapbox. >"They can't do that!" Rei said angrily. Dan: Yes they can. That's what the bulldozers are there for. >"There's nothing we can do to stop them." Rebecca: Yes there is! You can... All: Whine for peace! Snivel for justice! Dan: That was kind of fun. >Another male appeared behind Mr. Baxter. Samantha: And Mr. Baxter was just picking up the soap too. Ugh, he's gonna pay for that. >He was much younger than he, just >about their age. All the girls were speechless. Dan: Any particular reason? Rebecca: Something to do with the fact he wasn't wearing any trousers. Samantha: [Serena] My god... look at the size of that- [Alexander throws a cushion at Samantha.] Alexander: Don't! >"Those business types don't >listen to anyone. They're only in it to get some money. It doesn't matter >to them if they drive animals Samantha: [Bulldozer Driver] Don't see many of these animals here anymore... well, away they go! >or even people out of their homes, not to >mention the rapid loss of parkland." Alexander: Cue the SI... or not... >The girls were still speechless as the teen handed Mr. Baxter a couple of >pots of flowers. Dan: Little did the girls know that those plants would soon wind up inside very thin cigarettes. >He smiled to them, noticing their silence. "Hi, I'm Mike >Matthews," he said as he extended his hand toward them. Dan: [Mike] But you can call me god boy. >"I had to help out here with Mr. Baxter 'cause my mom suckered me into it. Samantha: [Mike] Stupid woman, tricking me into working. She'll pay... they'll all pay! >It's really nice though." Rebecca: So why are you complaining about it? Alexander: [Mike] Wahh! I don't wanna work! But the pay is good so... >None of them took a hold of his hand, Samantha: They're only displaying a quite natural aversion to approaching the GodBoy. >leaving him waiting longer. >"Uhmm..well, nice meeting you then," Mike said, brushing his short brown >hair back with his extended hand. Alexander: Go go Gadget arm! Rebecca: Something else was extended. [Dan throws a cushion at her.] [Samantha catches the pillow and throws it back at Dan.] >He shrugged then left. Rei was the first to speak. "Who..who was that?" Dan: Who was that masked moron? >Her friends were silent for a while longer. "I...I don't know," Serena told >her, breaking her silence. Alexander: [Rei] Serena! It took me all week to grow this silence! >"Amy?" Rei asked her other friend, tapping her on the shoulder. "Are you >listening to me?" Samantha: [Amy] Duh... pretty flowers! >Amy blinked her eyes and then shook her head quickly. "Yes..I am..It's >just..he's.." Rebecca: [Amy] Making... me talk... in... sentance... fragments... >Amy shook her head again. "Nothing. I'm fine." All except Alexander: [Chanting] Amy's got a boyfriend! Amy's got a boyfriend! [Alexander blushes.] Alexander: That is *not* Ami-chan! >Quickly, she walked away from her friends, not waiting. Serena looked at >Rei. "I saw the way you looked at him!" Alexander: Upside down, standing on your hands... Dan: Only way he could look good. Samantha: Jealous, Dan? >"I saw the way you looked at him too! And I didn't look at him that way >either! You know how much I like Darian!" Rebecca: [Serena] On a bed of lettuce with some mayonaise. Dan: Oh yeah, this is when he was going through his jerk phase. >The two bickered Alexander: Bicker, bicker, bicker, bicker... Rebecca: Insert generic bitchy line here! Dan: Insert generic valley girl line here! Rebecca: And, I suppose, insert generic DiC joke here? Dan: Got it in one. Samantha: Okay, DIC sucks... >until they caught up to their blue-haired friend, who quickly stopped them. Samantha: I really hate to be the critic here but Serena was not chasing after Darian at that time in the first Sailor Moon Season. She was just jealous of Raye and Darian being together. Alexander: Well, this is *Rei* acting here, not Raye, so there's a big difference. Rebecca: So what is the difference? Dan: Two dimensions. >Mike whistled to himself softly, putting garden tools out into a shed. Rebecca: Man, his life is *so* interesting. Alexander: Well, things could be worse... Samantha: Yeah, we could end up seeing *his* 'Usual Morning.' >He was almost done for the day, and only had to find Mr. Baxter to Samantha: Get him off? Alexander: No, let him off... Samantha: Sorry, my mind was drifting. >let him >off. A trowel dropped out of his grip, falling to the ground. Stooping to >pick it up, Mike noticed a weird feeling in the air. "Strange," he thought, Alexander: [Mike] I feel a disturbance in the Force... >putting the trowel into a bin inside the shed. As soon as he closed the >door on the small hut, he heard a loud noise, something sounding like vines >contracting somehow. Samantha: Uh-oh, Mike wandered onto the La Blue Girl set again. Dan: Cool. [Rebecca whacks him with a cushion.] Samantha: Nice shot... >A girl screamed. Alexander: Lightning flashed, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! >Mike leapt quickly in action, running >through the trees to the source of the noise. Dan: [Singing] Watch out for that tree! Watch out for that- Rebecca: WHAP! Oww... Samantha: Mike! Man of action! >A monster, seemingly made >completely of plant material, stood over the prone body of Mr. Baxter! Dan: Oh, god! It's my brussel sprouts nightmares come to life! [They all stare at Dan.] Rebecca: Um... huh? Alexander: The heck... Dan: Didn't your mum ever make you eat brussel sprouts? Rebecca: Nightmares? Dan: Forget it. Samantha: Gladly. >It >held in its 'hands' strings of vine, holding tight three girls dressed in >student type uniforms. Dan: School uniforms, even. Rebecca: Rei didn't mind, seeing as it was a cucumber vine. Alexander: Hah hah... [throws a cushion at her] >"What's going on here?" Mike exclaimed, not >understanding the situation. Alexander [Snickers] Samantha: Ain't he a regular Einstein? [chuckles] Alexander: [Mike] Strange... it looks like three girls being attacked by a plantlike creature... oh well, it's the end of my shift. Bye! >Suddenly, the monster spotted him and fired strange spikes at Mike. He >leapt backwards, flipping head over heels. All: [singing] He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, he's the world's one and only, the flying trapeez... >The darts embedded themselves in >a nearby tree trunk. The youth was amazed at his own action, how did he do >it? Dan: Because he could. Alexander: Man, does he need an explanation for everything? Samantha: Maybe if you got a blackboard and drew it out for him... >The monster did not give up, firing more vine-like structures, wrapping >the boy tight. He grunted under the pressure of the strong organic >material. He couldn't breathe. Dan: He couldn't write. Rebecca: Yeah, we'd established that. >He heard someone call to him, then a black >baton was pushed into one of his free hands. Rebecca: [Voice] Whoops, sorry, that one's for Rei. >"Hold onto it and say 'Saturn Power'!" the voice told him. Samantha: [Director] Stage hand, you're in the shot! >Without reluctance, he did so. The monster was blown backwards, sliding to >a halt at the foot of a tree. All the bonds that were attached to Mike were >broken, as well as the ones to the girls. Dan: For no adequately explored reason... Alexander: Looks like someone switched the baton with dynamite... >Mike stood in the middle of the >clearing dust, black cape flapping behind him. Samantha: Batman makes a rare appearance. >A cloth mask, also black, >covered his face, bordered by a rigid black headress, crystal adorning the >center forehead (Yup, also black). Dan: Methinks this guy likes black. Others: Nah. >He had a shiny vest of solid chrome body armor, and cloth pants. Rebecca: All in all, he looked like a twit in black with a hubcap on his chest. Samantha: So an annoying SI has turned into a Power Ranger. Alexander: Blame the stage hand. After all, he passed the baton to him. >He looked like an avenging shadow, Dan: Sergio Aragones: Only the shadow knows. >angry for all the time it had been defeated by the overpowering light. Alexander: If you're having that much trouble with a sixty watt light bulb, then just get fluorescent. >Without another action, he put his hand up in the air. Samantha: Oh, his first action as superheroic GodBoy and Saviour is to surrender? Good show! Dan: [Mike] Hello! Hi all you people out in fanfic land! >"Saturn Laser!" he shouted. "Flash!" Rebecca: Speak in! Bad Hong Kong! Dubbing! >A dark bolt of solid light collected in his hand, electricity flowing >around it. He swung his hand at the monster, releasing the magical energy >at it. It screamed, then blew Samantha: Him? Alexander: Ack! Bad sister! [Hits her with a cushion] >into a billion particles. >Mike lowered his hand, amazed at the power he had just wielded. Samantha: [Tries to keep herself from laughing too hard] Alexander: [Mike] Why, with this hand, I can keep myself entertained *all* day long! Rebecca: Well done, kid! [To Samantha] We taught him well. Dan: Oh, gods. Not another one. >He turned >to the girls who were now picking themselves up off the ground. The voice >from before again spoke to him. Rebecca: [Voice] Well, today I have a crappy Sailor Moon SI fic for you. Live with it. Voice: Very funny. Samantha: We think it is. >"You did well, Mike. Welcome to the Sailor Scout team, Ranger Saturn." All: [hum the Power Rangers Theme] Samantha: [Dicrector] Stagehand, the mikes picked up your voice again. >Mike looked around, not seeing the source of the voice. >"Uhm..thanks..I..where are you?" >"I'm right here." >Mike looked down. A black cat sat at his feet, smiling at him gratefully. Rebecca: And talking in a Russian accent. Alexander: [Cat] Hopefully he won't find out that I've relieved myself on him till later... >"A..a..cat. I must of hit myself on the head in that fight." Dan: So... and let me get this straight... he has no trouble accepting that he just blew a monster to pieces with incredible superpowers, yet he can't believe a talking cat? Rebecca: Sad, isn't it? Alexander: Actually, it's standard in SM fanfics like this. Samantha: Yeah, *we* had to act surprised over a talking cat... >"Trust me, she's real M-M-Mike," the blue haired girl from before told him >stuttering in supposed embrassment.. >"Okay, I believe you. But please tell me, how did I become this?" Rebecca: Well, this guy called Mike Franklin sat down in front of a computer one day... Alexander: And the clocks were striking thirteen... >Mike asked, pulling his hands outwards. Samantha: It's simply amazing what those contortionists can do, isn't it? >"You don't like it?" the long black haired one said. Dan: Join the club. >"No, I do. I just want to know how I became...Ranger Saturn, you said?" >"You've always been Ranger Saturn, Mike. Rebecca: [Cat] You just needed your morpher, that's all. Samantha: [Cat] And your buddy, Edward, don't forget him. >You just chose to show your power now," the cat continued. Alexander: [Cat] Not like I had anything to do with your transformation or nothing... nope... it was all you. >"That's another thing. You know my name but I don't know any of yours." Rebecca: Introducing Harpo, Chico & Zeppo. Dan: Mo, Larry and Curly. Rebecca: DJ, Motorarm and Gimlet. Rebecca & Dan: Ole! [Alexander and Samantha stare at them.] Dan: It's a transfan thing. >The girls reverted back to their un-costumed forms, as well as Mike. "I'm >Serena and this is my cat, Luna." the blond one announced. >"I'm Rei," the dark haired girl stated. Dan: [Rei] And I'm *really* lost. >"And I'm Amy," the last girl said softly. Samantha: How softly did she say it? Alexander: So softly that you could use it as a pillow at night. Samantha: [rimshot] >Mike smiled. "So let me get this right. I, when needed, can Dan: Whine and squeal for help like a girlie. [Rebecca and Samantha glare at him.] Alexander: I think sitting by you is going to be very dangerous for my health. >become a >powerful magical being capable of a great source of energy used for the >power of good. I've got a huge responsibility and could lose control at any >time, right?" Alexander: (Mike) And I get to hold someone's dead or dying body and shout their name while dramatic music plays in the background, right? Come on, I'm sure I specifically asked for one of those scenes! >Luna, after a while, nodded slowly. Mike smiled again. "Tell me more about >Ranger Saturn." Rebecca: Okay, he's an obnoxious, self-centered god-boy who's gonna make himself vital to the story and snog one of you, probably Amy, before the fic ends. Happy? >The End All: Yay! >Sailor Moon: Part 2 All: Boo... Alexander: So we're reading not one, but two stories about a mildly annoying SI that changes into a Power Ranger and whom Amy has a crush on. Samantha: That's about it. Dan: Been there, done that, just the names are changed. >by Mike Franklin Alexander: [Mike] What can I say? I was bored... > >-------------------------------------------------------- >Sailor Moon >Ranger Saturn Rebecca: Although by the third season, they'll be on their second Ranger Saturn. Alexander: When you want a smooth reliable car, buy a Ranger Saturn. >Mike Matthews rode his black speed bike All: [singing] Go Speed Racer... Go Speed Racer... >to school quickly, fearing he would >be late. "I don't need another detention," he thought. Dan: I've already got a full set. >"I've got karate this afternoon!" Alexander: Hopefully the instructor won't get mad at him again. Samantha: [Karate Instructor] No, the first step in Karate is *not* cowering in fear! Rebecca: [Karate Instructor] Now, you block my kick with your ribs, followed by my chop with your face. Understand? Dan: [Mike] Grasshopper, master, Grasshopper. >He slid to a stop in the parking lot of the school. Removing his helmet, he >pulled his back pack onto his shoulders and pulled the key from the >ignition slot. Rebecca: Fourteen years old and he's driving a motorbike? Who the frig does he think he is, DJ Croft? >"Stay right there," he whispered to his bike. Samantha: [Mike] Sit... stayyyyy... roll over! Good bike! Here's some WD-40... >Mike ran off towards the school's doors. >"LATE?! Late again!" Ms. Herona Dan: I think he means miss Haruna, although it would be Patricia, since this is supposed to be the American version. Rebecca: Although we do have Rei. Alexander: The horrors of Script Casting gone bad, on the next Hardcore. >shouted at Mike as he stood in front of her >desk. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you, Mike. Rebecca: Nothing pleasant, certainly. Samantha: [smiling wickedly] I've got some suggestions. >You're as bad as Serena!" >"Hey!" Serena called from her seat. Dan: [Serena] I resent the comparison. >"I was early this morning!" Dan: The first sign of the apocalypse. >Ms. Herona motioned for Mike to go to his seat as she prepared to write a >note for his parents. Alexander: [reading the note] "Meet me after dark... got plan to get rid of..." Whoa! That's nasty! >Mike's mother was sure going to be angry with him, hefeared Rebecca: [Deep announcer] Even self-insertions fear the wrath of mum! >as he sat on the rigid plastic Rebecca: O_o Dan: I think Mike has issues. >seat. All: Oh. >"You know Mike, you've been late every morning this week." Alexander: [Mike] Sorry, DJ was holding a meeting of Anime SI's and it ran a little late. >He looked up. It was Amy, turned around in her seat, sharing a little chat >with him before Ms. Herona started the next lesson. Samantha: [Amy] An Actual Sailor Moon, SI... I simply *must* study it more. >"I'm trying, but I just can't get up in time!" he whispered back. Rebecca: [Laughing deliriously] That's not the kind of thing you tell your girlfriend, boy! >"How about if I come by your house tomorrow morning to help you get to >school? Dan: Hey, Mike? Care to be any more obvious? Rebecca: You're just jealous. Dan: Yeah, 'cause I don't have an Aura of Smooth. I've just gotta use my *natural* talents. [Rebecca and Samantha crack up.] >I'm always early myself," she answered him, smile on her face. Alexander: [turning to Samantha] Don't you dare say it! Samantha: But it's too good to pass up! Amy's always early! Just ask... [Alexander pounces on Samantha, getting her in a head lock. The two roll around on the floor, wrestling] Rebecca: We should get the TV rights. Dan: [Shakes head] Some people just don't know how to cooperate. >Mike smirked. "Could she always be such a goody-two-shoes?" he thought. >He nodded. "Sure. I'd like it if you did that." Samantha: [shouting] With the vaseline and the whip cream and all! Alexander: Not that way! >Ms. Herona stepped back as she saw Mike enter the room. "You're...you're >early?" she asked, not believing he was even there. "Again??" Alexander: Whoa, looks like we missed a jump scene there... [Alexander lets go of Samantha and sits back down on the couch. Samantha quickly follows.] Samantha: You're a spoilsport, you know that? >"Yup," he answered, grin on his face. "And I have Amy to thank for my >streak of early attendance." Rebecca: Funny, I'd think she was to blame for his late nights. Samantha: [starts giggling] Alexander: You're reading *far* too much into this. Samantha: Yeah, but it's fun. >Ms. Herona smiled appreciatively to both her students. "Well, sit down. >We'll be starting the class soon." >They went to their seats. Alexander: INTENSE SEATING ACTION! >"I can't thank you enough for your help, Amy. Herona would have my head by >now if it wasn't for you," Mike said Samantha: [Mike] And considering my aura of smooth, it could have been my *other* head... >to Amy as they sat together eating their lunches. >She smiled, flattered by his comment. "Well, you just have to practice to >get up earlier." Alexander: [Amy] And without using the Playboy. Samantha: ALEX! Alexander: Heh heh... ^_^ Dan: And I have to wonder what this says about the author... He, he. >Serena appeared out of nowhere. "Hey guys! Why're you eating your lunch >without me?" Rebecca: Face it Serena. They don't like you. >She sat between them. "Cause you'd beg me for some of mine, Serena," Mike >said. >Serena looked at him. "No I wouldn't. I've got a good lunch of my own." >Her gaze moved down to the lunch sitting in front of him. All: [hum the Jaws theme] >"Ooooh. Those chocolate cupcakes look really good." Dan: Of course, they were sushi rolls in the original Japanese. >She reached for one, but Mike pulled them away. "No way. These're mine." Rebecca: [Cartman] No Serena, that's a bad SERENA! >Serena pouted and crossed her arms. Amy turned to Mike again. "You know, >Mike, there's a doll show at the Tokyo Display Arena this Saturday. I know >it's kind of...not your thing, but would you like to go with me?" Alexander: Wow, that's some Aura of Smooth he's got. He's not even doing anything and Amy's throwing herself at him. Dan: [Clears throat noisily] Certain people shouldn't talk. Rebecca: You're just jealous 'cause you never get any. Dan: No, I'm jealous beacause unlike him [points to Alexander] I haven't got an Aura of Smooth. Alexander: [annoyed] I don't *have* an aura of smooth. Samantha: True... you've got an aura of bishonen, which is just as bad. Dan: [Grumbling] I wanna Sailor Scout. >Serena was amazed. She never thought Amy would have the nerve to ask a guy >out. Dan: [Grumbles incoherently] Alexander: Oh, stop complaining. I'm sure you'll find someone who'll love you for who you are. [Samantha & Rebecca fight hard not to laugh.] >She looked at Mike. He was amazed as well. "Uhm..sure. I'd love to." >he said. >Amy smiled and looked very relieved that he had said yes. Samantha: [bored] Because, without him, she would just slit her wrists and end her life. Alexander: Getting a bit dark, are we? Rebecca: No, dark is when we get to the ritual disembowling. >Amy and Mike walked together through the crowded display room, exquisite >dolls sitting on counters and within glass cases. Amy carried Luna in a >basket on her arm, Rebecca: And they let her in? They should know never to let a cat go anywhere near expensive breakable things. >Luna insisting that the Negaverse was involved in the >show somehow. Amy smiled at the dolls, admiring their beauty. "It's this >one so pretty, Mike?" Alexander: It's prettier then your grammar, I can tell you that. >Mike pulled his attention out from cloud 9 and back to her. "Oh yeah. Yeah, >it's really nice." Dan: Yeah, *real* convincing there. >Amy smirked. She looked past his shoulder. "There's Rei and Darien!" Rebecca: So that's what he does between fanfics. He's off snogging the Japanese cast! Alexander: No, he dosen't... >Mike turned, looking to their friends as they walked past along the other >side of the room. A long brown haired man walked right past Darien. They >both slowed and looked to each other. Alexander: [Darian] LOVE! Samantha: [Neflite] DARLING! *glomp* >They went on their way. "Strange," Mike thought. >He could have sworn he had seen that guy before. Rebecca: Have you seen this chicken? >The man then went into the >back room of the auditorium. Mike turned back to Amy. "Amy, that guy is >pretty suspicious. Let's follow him." Samantha: [Mike] My Spider sense is tingling. >She nodded. >When Mike pushed open the door, he saw Serena's brother Sammy and another >girl unconscious on the floor. Rebecca: It's- Dan: Don't say it. He's only ten. Rebecca: All I was gonna say is it's probably a good thing. Dan: Yeah, well that too. >The window was broken and the curtains were >blown by the breeze from outside. "That's not normal," he said, Samantha: No, normal would be if they were naked and covered in vaseline. Alexander: His insight into the nature of reality is truly overwhelming. Dan: So, Sammy, what's this thing you have for ten year olds? [Samantha glares at Dan and stands, grabs him by the front of his shirt, and throws him through the table... in the kitchen...] Samantha: Baka baka. Dan: Ow... >letting Amy into the room. >Suddenly, they heard Serena's trademarked squeal echo from the outdoors. Rebecca: Serena's squeal is copyright DiC and some other people. [Dan heads back in and sits.] Dan: Geez, don't you think that was a bit excessive? Samantha: No. >"Serena! It's the Negaverse!" Amy shouted to him. Rebecca: She can tell all that from a squeal? Dan: No, you see this is Serena's squeal no. 32, meaning it's a Negaverse monster on the rampage. >They both quickly changed and dove out the broken window. Alexander: Wait! That window's not broken! Samantha: *CRASH* It is now. >Mike and Amy spotted Serena and Rei fighting a doll like monster! Rebecca: It's the Bobbi Golem! Dan: I wish. Alexander: The Bobbi what? >It fired sections of >it's body at them that were extremely sharp. Amy released her bubbles and >they burst around the monster. Mike shouted. "Saturn Laser! Flash!" Dan: ACTION! Samantha: John Woo, eat your heart out! Alexander: Chow-Yun-Fat ain't got *nothing* on this guy! >The powerful bolt of energy hit the monster, disentegrating its chest >segment. It reappeared, after the monster crouched for a bit. "It tried my >fire before, and it didn't work as well!" Rei called to him. Alexander: [Butthead] Come to Butthead. >Amy pressed her earring and her scanning visor materialized across her >eyes. Samantha: Better have that back before five, Amy. Geordi is gonna need it. >She pulled out her mini-computer and pushed a couple of keys in >succession. "There's a weak spot in its left Rebecca: Shoulder! Dan: [Hits Rebecca repeatedly with a cuhsion] Don't do that! Alexander: Is this another one of those transfan things? Dan: Got it in one. >ankle! Serena, you should throw your tiara there!" >It tossed some blades at her, which Mike intercepted with his laser magic. >She smiled, flattered about Mike's chivalry. Samantha: That wasn't chivalry, he just needed another woman for his harem. >Serena quickly tossed her tiara and the monster exploded, falling to dust. Rebecca: Note the intense, spectacular and detailed descriptions. >"Wow. That was better than I would of expected," Mike said, walking Amy to >the front door of her house. Samantha: [Mike] Doing it like rabbits in the bushes where everyone could have seen us... I never knew you *liked* it that way... Alexander: Hey! [throws a cushion at Samantha] >"Yes, I had fun as well." Samantha: [blocks the cushion] Nothing like fighing Youmas to get the blood pumping... >"Fighting the monster? You liked that?" Rebecca: What, getting mugged by a monster? Dan: Says volumes about his social life. Alexander: Or what he did *before* he had one. >"No, I meant the show. The dolls were very nice," Amy said, shaking her >head. Alexander: [Amy] Yahtzee! >"Oh. Yeah, they were nice. Dan: [Mike] Whoops, what a giveaway. Rebecca: Kid? Better get your Aura of Smooth checked. >We ought to do something else sometime." Samantha: Do it somewhere else sometime? Alexander: Get your mind out of the gutter, sis. Samantha: But it's so nice and comfortable... you know you want to join me... >Amy smiled, nodding. Mike turned away, stepping down the front stairs >leading from Amy's porch. "Mike?" >He turned around, facing her again. "Yeah?" Rebecca: [Amy] Nothing, I just like saying "Mike." >Amy leaned towards his face and kissed him firmly on the lips. [Alexander makes choking noises while Samantha sighs.] Alexander: [Amy] Ewww! Were you eating those garlic chips earlier? >She moved >away, then went inside, leaving him on the porch. Mike smiled, then went to >his bike. Samantha: [Mike, dumb] Duh, girl kissed me! Girl kissed me! Girl kissed me! >Revving the engine, he sped away down the street. Alexander: Streaking as he went... Samantha: Bitter? Alexander: [grumbles] >The End >Sailor Moon: Part 3 Alexander: It's more mediocre tales of the Power Rangers reject. Samantha: Mike is kinda like the engine who almost did it, but didn't want to go the rest of the way. >by Mike Franklin >"That movie was cool," Mike Matthews said, Samantha: [Deep voice] Bruce Wayne... Tony Stark... Clark Kent... [normal voice] Mike Matthews... Alexander: Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? Rebecca: [Mike] I just don't understand what was with all those parking meters. Dan: Gah! Rebecca: Heh, heh... >walking down the street next to Amy Anderson. Samantha: Double A Amy Anderson, the *real* enforcer of the Scouts. >"Well," she added. "Action flicks kind of aren't my thing." >Mike looked over at her, smile on his smile Rebecca: Any of you guys catch that? Dan: No chance. Alexander: Darn it, they're kissing again. >diminishing quickly. "Huh? Then you should've said something. Dan: [Mike] Not that I'd pay attention or anything. >I would have watched a movie that you wanted to see." Alexander: [Mike] Or I could have contrived you to like the movies *I* like... either or... >Amy glanced back, surprised. "You're lying. You sure wouldn't have wanted >to watch a 'sappy' romantic film, would you?" Rebecca: She's got you there. Samantha: [singing] Cause life has got him by the short and curlies... >He stroked his chin, looking very pensive. "Hmm, perhaps not," he said, his >smile from before returning. Samantha: Oh, when did he lose it? Alexander: His sanity? The question is, did he ever have it? >Laughing, she gripped his arm tighter. Alexander: And ripped it out in a spray of blood... oh the humanity! >Mike liked Amy. Rebecca: Especially when she showed up in her Sailor Mercury outfit. Samantha: [Mike] I see London, I see France, I see Amy's underpants! >He thought she was a nice girl. Alexander: He used to until that one night with the bottle of wine and the dominatrix outfit. Dan: [Slyly] So, Alex, is this something you care to share with us? Alexander: What? Still jealous, Dan? >From what he had heard from Rei and Serena, Amy was a complete >study-aholic. Him entering her life seemed to have teached her how to 'cut >loose' some of the time. Samantha: That's nice... hey Amy! Try cutting Mike loose now! Alexander: Or better yet, try cutting him into thin, bloodied strips of flesh... Samantha: Bitter? Alexnader: (monotone) No... I am not. >Now, if only Amy could teach him to smarten up and >act serious some times. All: We wish. Dan: You can't fight off the avatar effect, Amy. Samantha: This man's attempt at humilty is... is... Alexander: New and shocking, isn't it? Samantha: Yeah. >Suddenly, a pair of girls ran past them, and they >had to dodge to the right to not be hit. Alexander: [Both girls] I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! Rebecca: However, the baseball bat that one of them was carrying caught Mike off guard. >One girl dropped an envelope she >was carrying. Alexander: [monotone] It's brown, it's small... Samantha: it's the beta version of the fanfic! >Amy picked it up quickly and tried to stop the girl by >calling to her, but she was gone. "What is it?" Mike asked, curious about >the folder. Samantha: [Amy] It's a folder used to carry pieces of paper, but that's not important right now. >Amy looked more closely at it. Rebecca: [Amy, reading] "If you do not come to this alley, something bad..." Hey! >"It's an art portfolio. From that animation art school!" Dan: [Amy] You know, just any old animation art school. >"Really? The one that they're doing the art for the new Sailor V movie?" >She nodded. "When we return this, we can check the production out!" he >said. Dan: Amy Anderson starring in Attack of the Killer Fans. >"We can go now," Amy suggested. >"Eh? I thought we could get a bit of dinner and then go." Alexander: [Mike, caveman talk] Ugh... Mike want food first, then return portfolio... ugh... >"But what if that girl needs something in this folder?" Dan: Poor Amy doesn't realise that nothing's more important than the SI's stomach. Samantha: Let's just hope that he's not carrying a canteen with him, okay? >Giving up, Mike nodded. "You're right. We can get something to eat after. >If anything's open." Samantha: [Mike] Stupid *grumble* *grumble*... no good *grumble* *grumble*... Dan: Food, food, food. Is that all you ever think about? He should be hanging around Serena instead. Rebecca: No, he thinks he's in Slayers. >Turning the corner, Mike spotted a very expensive and very red car Rebecca: So it's even more red than any other red car? How do you manage that? Dan: Oh, you just paint over the windscreen. Rebecca: SCREECH! CRASH! Whoops! Couldn't see where I was driving. >parked >outside the animation studio. Stopping, he saw a man unlocking the door. >"Wow, it got dark all of a sudden, Rebecca: And I haven't said a single anti-moonie comment all day. Well, not many. Alexander: You've been doing pretty good. >M--" Amy began, interrupted by a motion of Mike's hand. Alexander: As it flew from his rest and started walking away once... >"That's Neflite!" she whispered loudly, Dan: Not that they know who he is, since Mike skipped that episode. Samantha: See the way her eyes are moving? She's reading the cue cards. >looking to where Mike was pointing. >He nodded, then pulled out his transformation pen. Samantha: We're not going to see a naked silhouette of Mike, are we? Alexander: [shudders] You know, I wasn't even thinking of that till you mentioned it. >Leaping down onto the >roof of his car, Neflite sneered at them. "Sailor Mercury and Ranger >Saturn. How did you find me?" Dan: Well, gee, how hard do you think it is to find a six foot six man in Tokyo? >"We followed the bad smell," Mike said, sweeping his cape over his >shoulder. Alexander: [Amy] *sniff* *sniff* Actually, that's you, Mike. >"And we know you're up to something, Neflite, and we're here to stop it!" Rebecca: Isn't there even the tiniest possibility that he's just making a social call? You know, not actually doing anything evil? Dan: [Nephlite] No, I'm just a big Sailor V fan. I get off on short skirts too, you know. Rebecca: We know that, Dan. Dan: Hey! [Samantha chuckles.] >Amy shouted down at him. Alexander: For, like Tom Servo, she became *HUGE*! >The Negaversian soldier Dan: I can't believe someone actually wrote that. Alexander: Believe it. Rebecca: That's probably just the politically correct term. Pretty soon you'll have to call all the energy-draining monsters "creatures of alternate sustenance." >threw a ball of multicolored flame at them, All: Disco fighting! >causing >them to jump away from atop his car. "You're going to have to try harder >than that," he said, getting in and driving away. Dan: Another riveting fight scene brought to us courtesy of Mike Franklin. Samantha: Kinda hard to drive away in charred remains, isn't it? Alexander: Well, he is a bad guy and they don't tend to follow the rules. >Mike helped Amy up, and they both reverted back to their original forms. >Walking over to the animation studio, they pushed their way through the >doors and told a nearby student about the envelope they had found. >"Really?" the student said. "Hey, Laurie, these people found your portfolio >that you lost!" >The student she had addressed did not answer, Alexander: Instead, an answering machine was in her place. Samantha: [Laurie] I'm sorry but I'm not in right now. Please leave a message after the beep. >only walking behind her and >into the manager's office. The girl was surprised. "I'm sorry. Laurie's not >usually like this. I think she's frightened about being kicked out of the >class." Samantha: Actually, she caught the scent of the SI. She's running away! >"Kicked out of class? I'd be frightened too," Mike said. >She smiled. "Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Cassie." Alexander: Cassie Casem? Samantha: Always wondered what he did in his spare time. Rebecca: Ask Cliffjumper. >"I'm Amy and this is Mike." >They both nodded to each other, then another student approached Cassie. >"Thanks for finding the portfolio. I've got to get back to work. How about >you two come back tomorrow and I could give you a tour or something?" Rebecca: Talk about asking for trouble. >"Sure, that would be great," Amy told her. "Do you mind if we bring two >more of our friends? They're bigger Sailor V fans then we are." Dan: Prepare thyself for the fangirl invasion. >Cassie nodded. "Sure. That'll be fine." Alexander: [Cassie] Not like we don't need any *distractions* during the making of an animated *movie*. >"Neflite's up to something at the animation studio," Amy told Rei and >Serena while Mike looked on. >"The same animation studio where they're making the Sailor V movie?" Serena >asked. Dan: Do any of these people consider that there's more than one studio in town? Rebecca: Especially considering that animated movies often have lots of studios working on them. Samantha: Details, details... I say, the hell with them! >Mike answered her question with an affirmative nod. "Wow! We've got to >check it out then!" Rebecca: Is it just me, or is everyone here talking like an escapee from Scooby Doo? Alexander: Maybe that's what Mike was watching when he wrote this. Dan: Well, it certainly wasn't Sailor Moon. >"Well, Serena. I never thought that you would involve yourself this deeply >into Sailor business. I'm impressed!" Luna said, looking up at the blonde >haired girl. Dan: There's the pitch... >She looked down at her cat. "What? What do you mean? Who would ever pass up >the chance to see the animation studio where Sailor V was being made? I >love Sailor V!" >Luna sighed. "I take that all back." All: Wah-wah-wahhhhhh! >Cassie sat with Mike and Amy as Serena and Rei oohed and ahhed over the >various artists and their work. Rebecca: Do you mind? You're getting drool on the cell. Samantha: Five hours work, down the drain... >"Sorry about our friends. I thought they >would be a little less subtle in their admiration of Sailor V," Amy said. Dan: So you're apologising because they're not making enough noise? >"Serena? Subtle? A big N-O on that one," Mike remarked. Alexander: Amy's doing a good job on teaching him. Samantha: At this rate, he'll be able to count up to eleven without pulling his pants down. >Cassie waved her hand. "It's alright, really. Everyone likes Sailor V." Rebecca: [Raises hand] I don't! Dan: Shut up. >"Where's Laurie?" Amy asked. >"I don't know, actually," Cassie said as she looked about the room. "Oh, >there she is! Laurie!" >Laurie was walking up the stairs to the roof of the building. Samantha: [Cassie] I'll die before that bastard takes me! AHHHH!!! *THUD* Alexander: Eww... road pizza... >Cassie got up >quickly and chased after her, just as Amy and Mike followed. Serena and Rei >were also forced to come along, nearly dragging them away. All four ran up >the steps to see both Cassie and Laurie unconscious on the roof top with >two monsters leaning over them, one blue and the other pink. Alexander: Oh my god! It's Chibi-Usa and... her blue friend. Samantha: That's the way to strike terror into the hearts of the readers, little bro! Rebecca: No it's not! It's Eaglus and Sabus! [They all stare blankly at Rebecca] Rebecca: [Grumbling] Never mind... >"I was wondering how long it would take to get to this part," Mike said. Samantha: Long? Long?! Cripes, I blinked my eyes and suddenly we were at this part! Rebecca: So I presume he could explain why randomly blowing up monsters is the best part. Dan: Because of the short skirts involved. Alexander: [Mike] When I shoot *really* big blasts, all the skirts fly up. >They all quickly transformed, Rebecca: Sailor Scouts! Maximize! >and Rei cast her attack first. Without any >warning, the pink monster absorbed the orange flame Dan: In a mass of bad colours. >and repelled it back at >them, causing them to dive to the ground. Samantha: Actually, it was a reflex action to save themselves from injury... >Amy released her bubble attack, >but this time the blue one grabbed the energy and whipped it back, Alexander: [singing] Whip it! Whip it good! >just >like her comrade. "Ha! These Sailor Scouts aren't anything to be worried >about!" the pink one shouted. Alexander: Careful, they got the SI with them. Samantha: Oh, they're dead meat. Give them some red shirts, stick a fork in them, they're done... Dan: Or a rat's pelvis. >The blue monster nodded. "Yeah! It was my bubble blast that got 'em too!" >"Uh... pardon me? Your bubble blast? That did nothing! It was my fire!" >"What're you talking about? That didn't even scratch 'em!" >While the two monsters squabbled, Rebecca: And reached for their lawyers. >the Scouts and Ranger Saturn recovered. Samantha: Actually, the Scouts recovered, Ranger boy took a header off the roof. Alexander: Wishful thinking, Sam, wishful thinking... >"They're just like Rei and Serena," Mike thought as he charged up a blast >of Saturn energy. Alexander: So he accidently unleashed the silence which engulfed and then destroyed the world, the end. Samantha: Then Hotaru came out and kicked his ass. >He quickly fired it at them, blowing them backwards to the concrete. "What >happened?" the pink monster asked groggily. Samantha: You lost. Any other questions? >"I don't know, but it was your fault!" the blue one retorted. Rebecca: When in doubt, blame someone else. >They both disappeared under the light of Serena's tiara. Cassie and Laurie >recovered, and the Scouts jumped away. Alexander: *yawn* Action never stops... Samantha: I haven't seen anything this intense since the infamous door opening scenes in SMAK. >"This is fun, Mike," Amy said. "I'm having a great time having dinner with >you." Samantha: [Ami] Especially since *you're* picking up the bill. >"Yeah, I'm glad we could. Now, I just need to work on having it just >between us," he answered, looking over at Rei and Serena who were fighting >over the last piece of steak with their chopsticks. Alexander: You two are gonna poke an eye out with that thing. Dan: Ah, hello? Steak? Chopsticks? Rebecca: In Japan you'd better hope someone else is paying. Dan: [Mike] Crap. There goes my allowance for the next zillion years. >The End All: Huzzah! Alexander: Well... that was pretty much text book... Samantha: Yeah, become super powered, helped Scouts out, have one of them fall in love... Voice: So if I could have your opinions? Alexander: Review time? You guys do this here too? Samantha: Just like with the K5 ladies... *sigh* Oh well... It was short, boring, barely offensive, slightly annoying, and text book. Alexander: Yeah, the OOC was pretty much standard when it came to Amy and Serena's actions, and the timeline was slightly screwed up in Part 1. Besides that, this was a cakewalk. Dan: It was so dumb that it's funny. Mike couldn't have been more obvious, what with having Amy stutter and blush and all when she first saw him. Rebecca: Hmm... let's see... Author meets characters. Author gets superpowers. Author seduces character. Chop, paste, repeat. Been there, seen that. What worried me is how much this was like the amazing Takei's story. Dan: So, how do you reckon Ranger Saturn would do in a four man team with the Tuxedo Project? Rebecca: Moonies in Black? I like it. Samantha: [looks at watch] Whoops, gotta get going now. Catch you guys later. We got filming in fifteen minutes. Dan: Lucky you, you've got something else to do. Back to EVA fics? Samantha: Yeah, I get to have more wreckage dropped on me. The director is going for realism... Dan: Ouch. Alexander: Heh... bye guys! Dan: You got time for a drink, Sam? Samantha: About as much time as I have for commiting suicide.
