 Just when I thought that General Jadeite as a girl couldn't get any
 worse...

What other blondes do we know...?

Hey, at least she wasn't General Shiko. ^_^

 Now that's just wrong!  :p

It gets worse: In the manga, she had shapeshifting capabilities. ^_-

Oops! Missed that one.

 Hehehe.  I love that sort of thing.

Nothing like a Star Wars reference to spice up a fanfic!

 Naru: What have you been smoking?

Kato: Hey! I don't smoke!

Naru: Have you been eating 'shrooms?!

Kato: I'd never do anything like that!

Naru: Have you been licking toads?!

Kato(freezes): Uh... Only on Wednesdays!

 Leading to the side-story "Tsukino Shingo: Master of the Dark Arts"

air) ^_^

 What a mean thing to do to the poor boy.  Not only does he have a cat for a
 girlfriend, but now you have him throwing giant pink heats around.  }:>

It was either that or "Moon Top-Hat Action." ^_^

We had considerable difficulty deciding on a proper attack.

One suggestion was to have 'em vomit an energy blast in the style of a DBZ
character. I thought about that, but I had difficulty coming up with a proper 
name.
What? The Swarthy Moon Belch Cannon? ^_^

 I bet.

Don'tcha just hate it when yer destined true love's been reborn the same 
gender?

Sort of puts a damper on things unless it happens to be a Ranma 'fic. ^_^

"Okay, we're gonna make this happen... But you have to be the girl, though."
"No, YOU have to be the girl!"
"No, you!"
"YOU!"

...Or worse.

"ME!"
"No, ME!"
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

legal
documents becomes a flexible notion.

 *lol*
 
 Overall, I really liked this and am looking forward to the next chapter.

Excellent! I'm glad to hear it. Like I said, some people weren't going to like
it, but at least a few would.

 Can't wait to see what evil you've done to Nephrite.

It's not quite as severe as what was done to Jadeite in some aspects, but more
severe in others. It's still somewhat in the air, but we've got an idea what 
we're
doing.
