 Should I grow up and treat men as a fellow human beings, or should I just

Hmm... Michiru channeling Akane? ^_^

 Death: FRIGHTFULLY SORRY ABOUT THAT. HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO DUSTING IN A
 WHILE.

You know, that inspired me to add a few lines in there...

 Evil.

I HAD to include that in somewhere. ^_^

Now, if only I could recall what the latest dubbed material called Hotaru...

 Heh. Cute.

The rest of the Senshi are going to get to call her 'Michelle,' as well. ^_-

 As she got up, she stumbled and fell over a briefcase of Stradivarious' 
that
 just happened to be lying next to her.They had a 'For Sale: 10 yen' sign
 next to them.

Hmm... These lines could be useful....

Right! Thanks, got it.

 Probably need a closing '*'

Well, in my mind, it didn't specifically need it, but if it would help avoid 
confusion,
I'll add it.

Oops, ouch, missed that one...

I can only proofread so much before the jokes cease to be funny to me. ^_^;;;;

 Ah, just like the rocks I keep digging up in my backyard. Perfectly normal
 rock, then

Yup! Just like Douglas Adams' "Perfectly Normal Beasts." ^_^

 Heh. Nice to see they've adjusted with the times.

Hey, you can't expect _all_ demons to come in withoud ID.

They'd never even be able to get through customs...

 Each wanted the dress she was in. They thought they would look good in it.

There'll be _no_ revealing the whole reason behind the entire Demon story-arc
until later. ^_^

 She had been a swordsman called Kenshen Himura. She was good at killing
 people and going 'oro' a lot.

Oh, now look what you've gone and did. You've given me an idea.

I like it. ^_^

 >     Images flooded Michiru's mind, about a Silver Millennium,
 
 Oh. From farther back then. You know, we never do get to see that brief
 period of about forty years when she had been reincarnated as a tentacle
 demon. Don't know why. It was where she developed her current taste for
 women, after all.

SHHH! That's not going to be revealed until later!

 And then the magic mushrooms she had before the concert wore off and she
 remembered it had all been a fantasy and she had really been a dirt farmer
 in her previous life.

Careful around those mushrooms. In this story, drug-tripping and
reality aren't that far apart...

 >     "Hah!" Sailor Neptune rolled away into a kneeling position.
 
 Just the way Haruka likes her. :)

I'll have to decide whether Haruka gets put in later or not...

 Do you want two 'u's in that?

No, I wanted three. Thanks for catching that one. I fixed it. ^_^

 They weren't bad. She would have prefered fish heads. She had always
 preferred fish heads, even when she had been a human in the Silver
 Millinium. A bit or irony, that, in light of her current form.

Hmm... Was she human in the manga? IIRC, she was 100% cat in the past as
in the future, in the anime...

Well, except that one point where she gets changed in a movie...

Indeed. ^_^

Arby: Oh, Oye dunno. The lil' spits are koinda cute. Taste great on a cracker!

 Better than the bullet holes I have in mine, I suppose.

Eh, well, ArbyFish always were highly traditional creatures.

 Which is why he abandoned them, no doubt. Too easy.

Or he already used them and never told anyone...

 Which is called a 'wake.' Which is a form of funeral service.

Interesting. So, Luna was organizing a wake instead...

 Horrible thing is, somewhere out there was a Star Trek script that probably
 had that. :P

Star Trek scripts are kind of like Fan Fiction in that way. You name it, 
someone's
probably thought of it, gotten it looked at by the producers, and rejected 
soon
afterward. ^_^

 Somehow, I can see that.

Scary, isn't it?

 Nice work. Seemed a bit breifer than the others, but that could be just me.

Yes, well, I'm not sure if to use the attachment option, so with the AOL 
stuff,
I just try to fit it in what they give me (Approx. 32000 bytes).

Thanks for your comments! They will be very useful in the revision, and
should speed the progress of the storyline...
