Waiting for Minako
by DDFA (Mark A Page)

Part Twentyone - The Plot (Lost?)

Wouldn't that imply it was found?

Moon:      It looks like this will be our last fight.

Jupiter:   Yes.  But just remember what Luna and Artemis told
          us - There Can Be Only One.


They stare at each other for several minutes.  A wind blows some
leaves between them.  Then suddenly, they burst out laughing.


Mars:      Ah, I couldn't be bothered.

Mercury:   You are right.  This is all bullshit.

Jupiter:   Anyone for a pint at the local?  I'm thirsty.

You know, this is always what bothered me about the original Highlander.  
Why didn't all the ones who were basically good sorts team up, go around 
thrashing the immortal assholes (which would, on a totally unrelated 
sidetrack, be an excellent name for a band), then say, "Fuck the 
universe and fate, let's party til the last dawn!"?

<snip>

Scene: Ami and Makoto, in a darkish room, in the middle of a strange
private hospital.  Ami is dressed in a skimpy swimsuit, covered over
by a jacket, and Makoto is wearing a large trenchcoat, hiding what 
she is wearing underneath,

*"I know!  I know!  Body loti--@BAP!!"*

 and a pair of shades.  She is also 

holding onto the power cord of the photocopier that Ami is sitting
on.

*"You know Ami, if you'd just slide forward a little so your fuku would 
ride up, I could plug this back in and we'd make a _killing_ on the 
hentai market!"*

Just then, a giant hedgehog rises from behind the photocopier, 
causing the pair to wet themselves.

*This, of course, falls into the category of "things the reader really, 
really didn't need to know".*

<snip now-typical exchange>

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Rei and Chibiusa have grabbed hold of Mamoru's
arms, and are using him in a tug of war.


Rei:        Mine!

Chibiusa:   Mine!

<Repeat x5>

Just then, Mamoru tears in half.  Rei and Chibiusa stare at the 
woolen stuffing that comes flying out of their respective halves
with surprise.


Rei:        He's not real.

Chibiusa:   It's a rag doll....

*Cue Aerosmith.*

Rei:        Where has the real Mamoru gone.  With Usagi dead, I've 
           never had a better opportunity....

*Need a question mark after "gone".*

Chibiusa:   What do you mean, YOU've never had a better opportunity?

Rei:        .....

Chibiusa:   .....

Rei:        He's your old man.

Chibiusa:   So?

Rei:        And you're too young for that sort of thing.

Chibiusa;   So?

Rei:        .....

Chibiusa:   .....

Rei:        You're one twisted little girl, you know that?

Chibiusa:   Why not?  I'm the most hated person since Wesley 
           Crusher.

Rei:        True.

Chibiusa:   Gotta live the life, you know.

*You know, this explains a lot.*

Behind a brick wall, overlooking this scene, Mamoru is in hiding,
Haruka and Michiru with him.


Mamoru:     I knew something like this would happen.  Why did Usako
           have to die?

Michiru:    Don't worry, Chiba-san.  I'll look after you....


Mamoru swallows as Michiru takes his hand and starts nuzzling 
against it.  She is immediately bapped over the head by Haruka.


Michiru:    What was THAT for?

Haruka:     You KNOW what that was for.

Michiru:    Haruka, you have forced me to punish you.

Haruka:     Uh oh....

*"Spank her!  Spank h--@BAP!!"*

Ami:        For who?

Makoto:     For WHOM....  For WHOM....  You're supposed to be the 
           genius in languages.

Ami:        Makes me wonder why you knew the true pronunciation, 
           then.

*"... especially since we're actually speaking translated Japanese, 
which means there may not even be this sort of confusion over the 
subject and object forms of the indefinite pronoun...."*

Makoto:     I think.... she might be the cause of all this.

Ami:        Are you trying to tell me that Minako is the cause of 
           all this.

*Another question mark, after "this".*

Ami:        But HOW?  I mean, she can't even work her way through a
           half-decent quotation, let alone organise this kind of
           charade.

Makoto:     Perhaps that's what she WANTED us to think.

*Shhh... Mark!  How dare you give away the end to Illuminations!  I 
mean, who would have suspected Sailor Venus?*
*<Apologies for blatant plug>*

Ami:        Well, she walked up one day and said "hi, I'm 
           Sailorvenus.  Mind if I join you"....

*Capitalize "hi", and put the ellipses and period in the quotes.*

Mokona comes to a screeching halt as Usagi and Umi come charging in

>from both directions....

*[wearing ridiculously baggy pants of a particularly obnoxious shade of 
metalic gold]  "Hammertime! Bump-bada-bump--@BAP!!"*

*Okay, that one I deserved....*

END OF PART 21


--------------------------------------------------------------------

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Will Mokona be served up as pancakes?  Will Mamoru escape the tender
ministrations of Rei and Chibiusa?  How will Michiru punish Haruka?

*"Will it involve lots of leath--@BAP!!"*

Is Minako behind any of this?  Shall Ami and Makoto discover the 
truth behind their odyssey?  For the answers to these questions 
(just possibly) read the next dropping.... I mean installment of
"Waiting for Minako".  This is NOT a drill, I repeat, this is NOT a
drill....  This is pseudoreality.... in the off season.

*As seriously as I can get in giving feedback on this series, Mark, I 
once again congratulate you on a fic well writ'.*
