Now they're keeping me up at night...

Three more should drain my brain enough to let me sleep.

[Open on a set with a nice Juuban background. Red, Yellow, and Green (those
CG M&M's, silly) are standing around, looking at three henshin pens.]

Yellow: So... what do these do again?

Red: They're from the boys upstairs. They say they'll increase our
international appeal.

[Red primps a non-existent lock of hair.]

Red: As if that were humanly possible.

[Green, meanwhile, is turning one of the pens over and over in her hands and
trying her best not to laugh. Red notices.]

Red: What are you laughin' at?

Green (stifling a giggle): Oh, nothing, nothing at all.

[Red harrumphs, and the three take their respective pens.]

Yellow: Are you sure we should do this? It seems kinda... stupid.

Red: Hey, anything to get my smiling face on international TV.

[The three raise their pens to the sky.]

Red: Red Chocolate Power, MAKE-UP!

Yellow: Yellow Chocolate Power, MAKE-UP!

Green: Green Chocolate Power, MAKE-UP!

[Cue gratuitous spinning in mid-air and flashing of lights transformation
sequence. When it's all over, Green is wearing an M&M-sized version of
Senshi Jupiter's fuku, Yellow is dressed in Senshi Moon's fuku (complete
with odangos and ponytails), and Red is wearing Senshi Mars's fuku. Green
takes one look at the other two and cracks up.]

Green (laughing hysterically): Oh... oh man... that is the most ridiculous
thing I have ever seen!

[She collapses to the ground, still laughing. Red, meanwhile, is sniggering
at Yellow's outfit... until he catches a glimpse of his own. To put it
bluntly, he freaks.}

Red: WHAT THE?! That's it, I'm calling the boys upstairs...

[Red pulls out a cell phone and starts punching buttons. Yellow, meanwhile,
is examining his fuku and ponytails. He takes one of the ponytails in his
hands, and tosses it back over his shoulder.]

Yellow: I dunno... these kinda look good on me.

[Green has almost regained her composure, but she breaks out laughing again.
Red, meanwhile, has gotten through...]

Red (into the phone): Hello? Hello! What's with these...
whatever-they-are's. Fukus, huh? Whatever they are, they look ridiculous!
Why couldn't I wear... oh, a nice tuxedo or something? I don't care about
what costuming had in stock! I have my dignity! You'll hear from my agent!

[Red slaps the phone shut and stomps offscreen, muttering to himself.
Yellow, meanwhile, is striking poses and talking about punishing evil doers
"in the name of the Peanut." Green is still laughing, grabbing her sides and
begging Yellow to stop...]

[Fade to a white placard.]

PLACARD: M&M's. The official candy of the Silver Millennium.

[Fade to black.]

I think I may have found my niche...
