Doing some more A!MG:
Quality Assurance
An "Oh, My Goddess!" Fan Fic
-----
This is a revised version of the first fanfic I ever wrote.
Hmm. So will it still have mistakes, or have those been finished in the
ensuing years? :)
*Why doesn't someone get that?* Keiichi thought to himself, as he tried
to figure out where he had left off. This project was due tomorrow, and
he was hurrying to finish on time. His professor was notorious for
refusing to accept late work, and Kei was afraid that he'd be pulling an
all-nighter.
Heh. I know that feeling all too well.
The phone rang again, and Keiichi suddenly remembered: He was the only
one home at the moment.
Might explain why no one answered it.
Belldandy had taken her sisters out shopping
earlier that day, so that he could have some peace and quiet to work.
Keiichi smiled to himself. *Bell... you are always so considerate....*
If only he knew it had been an excuse to take her sisters out to orgy hour
at Bangaroos. :)
Keiichi was startled out of his reverie by another insistent ring from
the telephone. He jumped up from his desk and dashed out into the hall,
grabbing the handset before it could ring again. "Morisato residence,
Keiichi here."
Voice: You will die in one week's time
Keiichi: Sorry, this isn't 'The Ring.' This an A!MG fic.
Voice: You mean you didn't watch a mysterious, disturbing video that ended
with a picutre of a well?
Keiichi: Nope.
Voice: Oh, terribly sorry then. Forget about it. Have a nice day.
"Is this... uh... Keiichi Morisato?" The loud female voice immediately
began to irritate Keiichi.
Telemarketer?
"Ah, Mr... Morisato, my name is Ex, and I'm with the Helper Goddess
Office. I'm calling you as part of our Quality Control Program for
Customer Satisfaction Assessment. I have a few questions for you --"
Hehehehe. I like the concept.
Keiichi had already surrendered;
Hey, it's too help out Bell. I can't see why he would refuse.
Keiichi raised his head from the desk. "I said, yes, so far." He began
to realize that answering this woman's questions and continuing to work
on his homework were mutually exclusive.
"So far? Hmmm."
Heh. Should have explained that it's an ongoing lifetime wish.
Keiichi's smile widened. "Yes, that's correct!"
The operator sounded as if she was in shock. "And that wish was
approved? I don't believe it! This is highly irregular..."
Heh. But it was cleared.
Another moment of silence passed. "Umm, is that the end of the
questions? Because I've got this project I need to finish --"
"Look, Mr. Morisato, this is all very unusual. Your wish -- well, it's
quite irregular. I'm going to have to check with my supervisor about
the validity of this contract."
I think others might have mentioned it, but Bell's had several chances to
pull out and never did. She wants to stay. Of course this wouldn't be
anywhere near as fun if he explained it and she accepted that. :)
"What? Hey, wait a minute --" But all Keiichi heard was a click and
then some light music.
Heh. Some things are the same no matter where they are.
Keiichi felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment. "Your
supervisor?"
"Yes.... Please hold for Kami-sama."
That's nice. Ordinarily when the big man calls I don't think Keiichi has
been able to understand him, but that might be something I'm misremembering
The amusement had returned to Kami-sama's voice. "Oh? We still
occasionally register energy surges centered on your location, you
know."
Keiichi floundered a bit. "Sibling rivalry," was all that he could
think to say.
Amusement gave way to kindly laughter. "Well put, Keiichi.
Heh. Although in the early days Bell and Urd would fire spells off at one
another.
"Well, then," Kei
Keiichi
"This is also true, Keiichi. What I am asking you, then, is whether in
your mind the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Are you willing to
continue having all three goddesses live with you?"
Heh. He'd be an idiot to say no, even if the other girls do cause problems
from time to time.
"Well, that's easy to explain, Keiichi," said Kami-sama, just as if
Keiichi had spoken aloud. "It's not just your wish at work here."
Figured he knew what was going on inside as well.
Keiichi frowned in thought. "Well, I guess there have been a lot of
hard times in the past few months..." Kei thought of some of the things
that had happened since he began living with the goddesses. Little
things, like Aoshima trying to steal Belldandy away from him; bigger
things, like the demon Mara turning his sister Megumi into a car (*but
oh, what a nice car that was....*
Hehehe
Keiichi blinked for a moment, disoriented. *What just happened?* The
past few hours seemed to blur in his memory. *I was on the phone
with....* He gathered his wits back together and looked over the papers
spread in front of him. *But then how did I get so far on my homework?*
he thought to himself. Kei
Keiichi.
"That would be just perfect," said Keiichi, grinning widely. "Need a
hand?"
"Oh, no, Keiichi! You need to finish your project!"
"It's ok
okay
This is a revised version of the first fanfic I ever wrote. I
originally posted this on RAAC and the FFML quite a while ago. (A
computer and 2 hard drives ago, actually) I received a few pieces of
C&C, and I considered making changes to what I had written. At the
time, I decided not to. However, as time passed, I would take a break
from my latest fic and think about this one. Finally, last week, I
decided to re-do the ending as was suggested to me by someone who's name
escapes me at the moment (and the computer his message is saved on is
half a world away, unfortunately). In the original version of the story,
Keiichi doesn't remember his conversation with Kami-sama.
Think it would have been better that way, but it's a small detail.
Nice work. An enjoyable read.
