	They were ticked.  There he was at the arcade.  He was suppose to 
be working on the stories that he had promised the ML and to them.  As one, 
the three figures cracked their knuckles and stepped forward.  The crowd 
shot nervous glances as they saw a young girl wearing a cloth mask in the 
classic style of a female ninja yet she was incased in a purple hardsuit, 
a well dressed young woman with her long white hair in a thick braid to 
her hips, and an man in a grey suit with a matching fedora covering his 
eyes and his mouth twisted in a frown.  They marched through the crowd, 
who gave way to the trio and stood behind the man they had come to see.  
He was playing something called Samurai Shodown III.
	"Damn you, Shirumaru Hisame!!" he yelled at the screen.
	"Ahem!" the grey suited man cleared his throat.
	"Eh?  AH!  What the Hell are you three doing here?!" the man 
asked in shock.
	"We could very well ask you the same thing, Rob..." the young 
woman replied.
	"You lied to us, Rob," the armored girl said.  "After you got 
your files fixed and changed your password, you said you'd work on 
Twilight, Chance Encounters, and Rising Star's First Chapter..."
	"I-I was busy!  I work, you know!" Rob looked for an exit.
	"Your shift ended two hours ago..." Zodiak(well, who do you think 
they are?) stated.  "And here you are..."
	"Time to face the music of the Band, Rob," Virgo's eyes started 
to glow with blue energy.
	"WAIT!!!  LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS!!!!!"
	<FAAAWOOOOOOOSH!!>
	Zodiak looked down on the smoking form at his feet.  It twitched.
	"He'll be fine...  Let's go somewhere..."
	Allegra brightened up, and suggested, "The zoo!  Please, Oyaji?  
I haven't been to a zoo, before."
	--------------------------------------------------
(And here we are...  Watching the strangest game of poker I've ever seen!)
Virgo reclined against the sign post and took a sip from her soda.  (I 
hope the panda wins...)
	Allegra looked at her computer screen to check which cards were 
already dealt and the possibility of what card would be dealt next.
	"Hmmmm... Zoos have change since the last time I visited one..."
Zodiak shrugged and took a bite from his hot dog.

	The Anything-Goes Martial Band... watching the game...
