     Please note that I am not on the mailing list. I love
the FFML and think that there are a lot of talented (Author
facefaults as he remembers what "talented" means in SM 
context, then mallets himself!) (Gomen na sai!)  8^)
er, I mean very skilled writers on it, but I just can not
keep up with the volume of mail that it generates. So please
do not send your c&c, flames or mallets to the ML, instead
all flames may be sent to plepant@nyx.net

*******************************************************

     (The curtain rises on the inside of Makoto's home. The 
time is approximately 6:30 a.m. Makoto, wearing a long skirt,
modest blouse and apron is bustling around the kitchen. Ami,
wearing comfortable slacks and a thick sweater is seated at the 
(western style) table with a book open in front of her. Rei is 
also seated at the table, wearing a long dressing gown. Her eyes
are half-closed and her head is propped up in one hand, while her
other hand is wrapped around a steaming cup of tea that she holds
directly under her face. Minako is also seated, but she has her 
head down on the table with one arm curled under her hair and the
other flung straight out, almost touching Rei's teacup. Minako is
wearing cute orange pyjamas with yellow birds printed on them, and
is snoring rather loudly. Luna is seated on the table next to 
Ami's place, industriously washing her paws and face. Artemis is
curled up on the corner of the couch in the front room, sleeping.
Usagi, wearing her customary pink pyjamas and bunny slippers,
shuffles up to the table and takes a seat.)

USAGI:(whinily/sulkily) What is the point of having a sleepover  
      and spending Sunday with your friends if you have to get
      up early?

AMI:(looks up from her book reprovingly) Usagi, you know that
    today isn't supposed to be a fun day. It's a day for us to
    catch up on our studies. And with as far behind as *some*
    of us are 

    (Ami tilts her gaze at Usagi even more sternly and uses her
    free hand to prod Minako in the shoulder)
    (Minako stoicly continues to snore)

    we need to start as early as we can.

    (Usagi slumps in her chair and her mouth forms one of
    those crinkly up-and-down frowns that she gets)
      
USAGI:(even whinier than before) You know I can't function
      this early in the morning.

MINAKO: *SNORE*

     (Ami opens her mouth to remonstrate further, but is
     cut off by Rei)

REI:(releases her teacup and makes a back-and-forth waving
    motion with her hand to emphasize her point) 
    Let it go, Ami. You know that once she gets some food
    in front of her she'll be more awake than we can handle.

USAGI:What's that supposed to mean!?
     
       (Makoto arrives from the kitchen with a tray of
       toast and butter)

MAKOTO:(speaking around the piece of toast that she is
       holding in her mouth while her hands are full)
       
       Imf jusht meansh hat shoo enshoy your fud Ushagi.
       
       (places the tray on the center of the table and
       removes piece of toast from her mouth)

       There's nothing wrong with that,
       (turning to look directly at Rei)
       
       *is* there?

REI:(dourly) Not in moderation.

MINAKO:  *SNORE*

USAGI:At least somebody understands.

MAKOTO:(turning to head back to the stove) 
       Eggs'll be ready in a minute guys.

     (Rei picks up a piece of toast and begins munching it dry,
     while Usagi starts to butter a piece of her own. Ami turns
     her attention to trying to wake Minako)

AMI:(with some exasperation) Come on Mina, Venus is supposed to
    be the star of the morning!

MINAKO:  *SNORE*

REI: You shouldn't use so much butter, Usagi, it's bad for you.

USAGI: Can't you let me enjoy anything?

      (Usagi tries to replace the butter knife with one hand
      and move the toast to her mouth with the other, but
      it proves to be too much for her early morning coordination
      and she drops the toast)

      *WAAAAAAAH!* Now you've made me drop my toast!

REI:(rolling her eyes) Of course. It's *my* fault you're a klutz.

USAGI:(oblivious to anything but her own misery)
      It even landed butter side down.

AMI: Usagi, toast *always* lands butter side down.

USAGI:(suddenly alert) Really? Always?

AMI:(somewhat surprised by her friend's sudden interest)
    Yes. Every time.

    (Usagi turns back to the fallen toast with a look of
    fascination. She picks it up, holds it perfectly horizontal
    and releases it, watching attentively as it flips over to
    land butter side down. She picks it up again and repeats 
    the process)

MAKOTO:(half turning from the stove) *Hey!*

REI: Don't worry. *She'll* clean it up.
    (her tone makes it clear that she intends to make sure
    that Usagi does precisely that)

LUNA:(finally looking up from washing her face and paws)
     Oh, leave her alone. At least she's actually trying
     to learn something for herself.

MINAKO: *SNORE*

USAGI:(turns towards Luna)(Usagi's expression shows that
      she is still rapt with wonder over the physics of
      breakfast items)
      Is it true that cats always land on their feet?

LUNA: Why, yes, we do.
      (suddenly alarmed)
      But you don't need to *test* that! You can take my
      word for it!

USAGI:(speaking slowly, deep in thought) And toast always
      lands butter side down.

      (there is a brief pause, and then 
      a look of maniacal inspiration suddenly crosses
      Usagi's face and she leaps up overturning her chair.
      she keeps the toast firmly gripped in one hand while
      reaching towards Luna with the other)
 
      Somebody bring me some super glue! I've just had an 
      idea for an inexhaustible power source!

LUNA:(backing up against Ami's chest while arching her back,
     flattening her ears, baring her teeth and extending her
     claws)
     *KEEP THAT DUMPLING-HEADED PSYCHOPATH AWAY FROM ME!!!!*

ARTEMIS:(finally waking up and raising his head)
        Huh?

MINAKO:  *SNORE*

      (the scene dissolves into chaos as the curtain descends)
