The Sacrifice By: Mehg AN: As a child I loved the book: "The Little Engine that CouldÓ I had it memorized word for word... *sweat drop* HereÕs my contribution to it! Mamoru struggled and struggled. In the distance the train's whistle blew incessantly. He saw the light of the approaching iron horse coming up around the tunnel. The ropes that bound Mamoru were not giving way. He shouted for help, but was answered with only the steady rhythm of the fast approaching engine. Mamoru pulled desperately and managed to get one foot free! He twisted around his hands and caught the rope even tighter around his waist. This approach just wasn't working. The train grew still nearer. "I THINK I CAN! I THINK I CAN! I THINK I CAN!" The little engine that could chugged up the mountainside, it had to deliver all the toys and good treats to eat for all the good little boys and girls over the mountain. Mamoru kicked his one free foot and tried to stand up. No good. He had caught his foot in between the rails. Mamoru gave a cry of unbelief and then saw the train. "Oh no!" The little funny-faced clown yelled when he noticed Mamoru tied to the tracks. The Little Engine that could shuddered then whispered, "Sorry buddy, but I have to get this train to the good little girls and boys of the mountain." The train sped up. Mamoru's heart sank. "I thought I could! I THOUGHT I COULD!" The Little Engine that could puffed. When it pulled into the station, all the good little boys and girls ran for their precious toys and candies. I wonder if they would have been as joyous to receive their gifts if they knew that the train had plowed over Mamo-chan in order to make sure that it made it up the mountainside. 77. Defective Canes By: Patch AN: Always keep the warranty of these things folks, you never know when you might need Ôem! ^_~ The Senshi were in the middle of a ferocious fight against a youma that had decided to strike late at night. They were calling out their various attacks but the youma was strong and powerful. It was nowhere near giving up. ÒGuys, I think IÕve found its weakness,Ó Sailor Mercury called out, tapping away on her mini-computer. ÒWe have to aim for her belly button!Ó ÒNani?!Ó ÒYeah, her belly button. We have to combine our attacks and aim for that.Ó ÒSailor Senshi,Ó Tuxedo Kamen called out. ÒIÕll distract the youma while you all power up. ÒHai!Ó They all called out. Tuxedo Kamen jumped to the ground and flipped out his cane. But it was too short, he realized. Time to make it longer, he thought. Pressing an invisible button, he released the trigger that would make his cane longer than its normal lengthÉ ÒGack!Ó ... And impaled himself. He looked down in shock to see that the cane had elongatedÉ backwards. Oopsies... some CEO is gonna be in *big* trouble. ÒDamnÉ IÕm gonna sue,Ó he managed to get out before falling over. 78. Drowning by Tears By: Patch AN: Hey, you knew this one was coming. *Someone* had to die as a result of UsagiÕs incessant wailing. Who better? The Senshi along with Tuxedo Kamen had just won another battle against some nameless youma. High-fives and whoops of victory were heard all around. The fight had taken place in an abandoned warehouse and Sailor Moon had finished off the youma in a huge, empty vat. The Senshi began to climb out of the vat leaving Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen to have a moment alone. ÒA job well done Sailor Moon.Ó ÒAw Mamo-chan you can cut it with being so formal.Ó ÒIÕd rather be formal... Sailor Moon.Ó Usagi frowned slightly at his answer. ÒBut thereÕs no one around. You can call me Usako, I have no problems with it.Ó ÒIÕd rather not... Sailor Moon.Ó By now the girl was quite upset. ÒStop being such a prig Mamo-chan and call me Usako!Ó She stamped her foot for emphasis. ÒSailor Moon, IÕd rather do that in private.Ó ÒNo, you just donÕt love me anymore!Ó And with that she began to cry... and cry... and cry... and cry some more. Mamoru looked at his girlfriend in panic. The waterworks had started and they usually didnÕt stop for a long while unless someone could stop them. ÒDonÕt cry Sailor Moon,Ó Mamoru cringed when Usagi cried harder. ÒEr, I mean Usako. See, look, IÕm calling you Usako. You can stop crying now.Ó ÒNo, youÕre just calling me that to appease me!Ó Usagi wailed, pointing an accusing finger at him. The tears literally gushed forth from her eyes and as Mamoru took a step forward, he realized that there was water up to their ankles... water that hadnÕt been there before. ÒUsako, please stop crying.Ó ÒDonÕt call me that!Ó Usagi moved away from him and clambered out of the vat leaving Mamoru still standing at the bottom. She stood at the edge, still crying, the tears forming mini waterfall that fell from her face. Mamoru began to really panic when the salty water of his girlfriendÕs tears reached his thighs. ÒUsako, IÕll get you anything you want if youÕll just stop crying!Ó ÒSo now you think you can buy me? YouÕre more horrible than I thought,Ó and she bawled even harder. ÒNo! No, I didnÕt mean that at all!Ó He was now standing up to his neck in salty water. ÒUsako could you at least help me get out of here? YouÕre crying a bit too much and I donÕt think I can swim in here.Ó ÒCrying is good for the soul and I will cry as much as I want to!Ó ÒNo, Usako stop!Ó He swallowed water and choked it out. ÒStop, help me out of here!Ó ÒNo, you can go ahead and drown!Ó And that he did. 79. Eudial a.k.a. The Sunday Driver By: Patch AN: And my parents say I drive like a maniac *snort* They should watch this woman go.) ÒOh, IÕll get those Pure Heart Crystals this time,Ó Eudial, leader of the Witches 5, mumbled. She grabbed the briefcase which held the latest daemon created by Professor Tomoe. She got into her car and slammed the door. ÒIÕll teach those baka girls that I am a worthy leader. How dare they talk about me behind my back.Ó She turned on the car and revved the engine, still mumbling under her breath. Folks, road rage is a very bad thing. Never get into a car when youÕre angry. Eudial slammed on the brakes and sped out of the underground garage, which was almost a mile long. Mamoru was in his favorite spot, the Juuban Park Rose Garden. What a beautiful place, he thought, so peaceful, so quite, so serene, so- Birds began to screech and fly from the bushes in front of him as MamoruÕs eyes widened in surprise. Suddenly a car burst from the bushes and MamoruÕs eyes bugged out and his jaw dropped open. ÒOh. My. Lord.Ó All he wanted to do was to stop and smell the roses. Eudial, meanwhile, was cursing away as she tried to control the steering wheel. ÒWhere are the *beep* brakes on this thing?!Ó She pressed the accelerator accidentally and zoomed forward not seeing the innocent bystander gawking at the approaching car. *Thump* ÒDamn, mustÕve been a raccoon or something,Ó Eudial muttered and sped away, leaving one very dead raccoonÉ erÉ human behind. 80. Attack of the Ferocious Kitties! By: Patch AN: My cat is proof of how evil these creatures can be. But I love her to death and still cater to her every need :p ÒThank you, Mamo-chan!Ó ÒArigato Mamoru-san!Ó The door slammed shut behind Usagi and her best friend, Minako, as they sailed out of his apartment heading for the local shopping plaza. Mamoru sighed and shook his head as he watched the two mini-tornadoes leave and then turned around to face his charges for the afternoon. ÒSo, what do you guys want to do?Ó Three pairs of feline eyes narrowed thoughtfully as they stared at the man in front of him. Mamoru squirmed a bit under their gazes but let out of a sigh of relief when Artemis finally spoke up for the three of them. ÒWhat do you have for us to do?Ó Mamor u shrugged and walked into the kitchen, Artemis, Luna and Diana following him. ÒI donÕt know,Ó he replied. ÒI mean, I donÕt know what cats do to keep themselves busy. I suppose I could find a ball of yarn or something-Ó He was interrupted by LunaÕs sniff of indignation. ÒReally, Mamoru-san, do you really think so low of us? We are not those base-born domestic animals that you may think of us to be. We are intelligent creatures that have a purpose in this life unlike our clueless counterparts.Ó MamoruÕs eyes were wide by the time Luna had finished her little speech. The other two cats nodded in agreement and then all three turned to look at him again. He could have sworn that they were looking down their noses at him even though he towered above them. He stopped himself from squirming a bit more. ÒWell,Ó Mamoru said, scratching the back of his head, Òhow about some food? I bet you guys have eaten yet and IÕve got some great food!Ó The kitties broke out into their feline smiles and looked at him approvingly. ÒWe would love that Mamoru-sama. IÕm starved!Ó Mamoru smiled at Diana and petted her gray head as he walked past her from where she had perched on the counter. Her parents quickly joined her and waited patiently for Mamoru to bring them their food. He rummaged through the cabinet underneath the sink as he spoke. ÒI know I have that box here somewhere. IÕve been prepared ever since Usako told me you guys would be staying with me. Ah! Here it is!Ó He straightened shaking a brown box that was labeled ÒStore Brand Kitty Food. The Best Ever!Ó He was so happy to have found the cat food that he never saw the obvious hint of coming dangerÉ the twitching of cat tails. Oh Mamoru, couldnÕt you have spent a little more on gourmet? ÒIÕll just take some out of this stuff out in a bowl and you guys can eat.Ó Mamoru turned his back on the three slowly-fluffing-up cats and began to fill two bowls. He never heard the quiet footsteps of three cute kitties now turned predatory beasts. When he turned, his eyes dropped to the floor where three fluffed up balls of fur awaited him. It was then that he noticed the feral, almost wild gleam in their eyes. ÒUh, guys?Ó ÒYou dared to keep cat food under a common kitchen sink?! Cat food that is store brand no less?!Ó His eyes widened at LunaÕs hissed words. He slowly began backing out of the kitchen, the cats following him. ÒKami knows what was under that sink! And I donÕt even want to know whatÕs in that ugly brown box that claims to contain cat food!Ó Artemis hissed. Mamoru was now in the living room, his hands waving wildly in front of him. ÒNow, now, no need to get angry. ItÕs just cat food after all.Ó LunaÕs ears flattened against her head and he realized that was definitely the wrong thing to say. ÒAnd you would feed this to our little baby?!Ó Diana, realizing she had been mentioned, suddenly blinked, her eyes losing that wild look. She stopped where she was even as her parents continued to follow Mamoru. ÒOkaa-san,Ó she whispered. ÒOkaa-san, IÕve gotta go.Ó Mamoru smiled in relief for this distraction and took a step forward. ÒThatÕs no problem, Diana, just go out into the balcony where thereÕs a box of sand and- EYAAAAAH!!!Ó ÒBalcony?! You would have us go out on the balcony?!Ó ÒSand?! Nothing less than premium soil, you fool!Ó The cats jumped as they spoke the words, their claws gleaming. A little while later, a small burp was heard and Diana blushed, before smiling her catÕs smile. ÒMamo-meat is so much better than gourmet, donÕt you think?Ó 81. Death by Self-Burning By: Patch AN: Medical experts have always warned us that too much coffee is a dangerous thing. They just didnÕt know it could be dangerous like this) ÒMotoki, my usual please.Ó ÒComing right up, Mamoru. Hey, we got these extra large mugs just yesterday. TheyÕre the latest thing in America. Want your coffee in that?Ó ÒSure, sure.Ó Mamoru didnÕt even know what he was agreeing to. He was too busy staring at the angel that had just walked through the Arcade doors. The sun glowed behind her, making her look ethereal and so beautiful. Her golden hair shined, the long strands wrapping around her lithe body as she turned her head this way and that. Her smile was infectious; he found himself smiling just by looking at the way those luscious pink lips turned upwards. She was with four equally beautiful girls, but he hardly took notice. He was focused solely on her, his blonde goddess. ÒHere ya go, Mamoru, fresh and piping hot.Ó ÒYeah, yeah. Arigato.Ó Mamoru didnÕt even turn to look at his best friend. His eyes were trained on the lovely girl in front of him. He had to know her name. And he would. He would swing down his coffee in one manly gulp, slam the mug down and walk over to her, charming her right down to her toes. He grabbed the handle of the mug, not even looking as he brought it to his lips. In one manly swig, he lifted the mug to swallow the black liquid. But he had forgotten one tiny, little thing. The lip of this mug was much, much wider. It wasnÕt the narrow one he was used to where the coffee would go down in one smooth motion. No, this time, when Mamoru went to chug back the mugÕs contentsÉ he ended up chugging them into his face. And *pop* *sizzle* went his face. Welps, I guess we wonÕt have a chance with his blonde goddess now. 82. ItÕs raining cats and dogsÉ and anvils By: Patch AN: When you hear that sharp whistling sound from aboveÉ RUN!) ÒOh no!Ó ÒWhat is it Mercury?Ó Sailor Mercury tapped furiously on her mini-computer and then looked at everyone with a pale face. ÒThat last youma we fought, it was from a world of cartoons. When we killed it, we unintentionally destroyed the portal it came through and now our dimensions are mixing.Ó Tuxedo Kamen laughed. ÒAnd how bad can that be? So we have little, funny looking creatures running around the place. We can easily solve that problem.Ó Sailor Mercury looked at him doubtingly. ÒI donÕt know about that. As a result of the dimensions falling into each other, some of the things that we see in cartoons, will become reality. Tuxedo Kamen scoffed at that, powering down to his civilian form. The rest followed. ÒAnd what would those things be? TheyÕre all just playful gags. I donÕt see what we have to worry about. Hey, do you all hear that sound?Ó Everyone looked around and then Usagi let out a startled, ÒEep!Ó and pointed upwards. Mamoru looked up just in time to see an anvil smash into him. Everyone looked down to see where a hole in the ground, in the shape of MamoruÕs form had appeared as Mamoru was pushed into the earth. ÒPlayful gags?Ó Rei asked, snorting. ÒI think not.Ó Score - Cartoons: 1 Anime: 0 83. Backstreet Boys It WasnÕt By: Patch AN: Lesson of the Day: Be sure your scalper is creditable. Just ask Mehg ^_~) Mamoru was feeling very special today. He was about to surprise his girlfriend with a very *cool* gift. They were in a concert hall that was already filled with many people. The couple was quite lucky for Mamoru had gotten front row seats. They were expensive but well worth it. ÒMamo-chan! CÕmon, tell me why weÕre here. Who are we going to see?!Ó she asked, feeling a bit impatient. ÒItÕs a surprise. YouÕll see soon enough.Ó ÒOh please Mamo-chan, please, please tell me who weÕre going to see!Ó Usagi begged, clutching her boyfriendÕs arm. Oh why not, he thought. Telling her still wouldnÕt be the same as seeing it live, he reassured himself. ÒThe Backstreet Boys,Ó he replied quietly, barely containing his grin. ÒNo way! Sugoi!Ó Usagi exclaimed, jumping up and down. A few of the other concert-goers looked at them strangely and Usagi quickly quieted down. ÒAnd we got the best seats in the house too as you can see,Ó Mamoru said proudly. The words were barely out of his mouth when the lights dimmed and the people began to cheer. ÒThis will be so much fun!Ó Usagi squealed. The speakers on the stage blared to life. ÒAlright everyone, itÕs time to start this party!Ó The audience roared in response. ÒPlease welcome to the city of TokyoÉ Bloody Sadistic Bashers!Ó ÒNani?!?Ó The two exclamations were loud enough to be heard over the loudness. The center stage lights flashed on and the mostÉ ermÉ interesting looking band began to perform. Long, oily hair straggled the menÕs faces and torn, stained clothes outfitted their bodies. Some of the band members had white face paint on, their eyes and mouths outlined in black giving them a gothic look. The lead singer as he appeared to be, not only had the white paint, his face was also graced with blood trailing down one side. One shivered to think if the blood was real or not. I, personally, wouldnÕt put it pass themÉ and neither did Mamoru and Usagi. ÒThose guys donÕt look like the Backstreet Boys, Mamo-chan!Ó Usagi yelled. ÒCome to think of it,Ó Mamoru added, looking around with a perplexed expression, Òthe fans donÕt look like the teeny-bopper types either!Ó And sure enough, the people around them, with their various multitudes of body piercing and mohawk hair styles *really* did not look like the googly-eyed teenagers that went crazy over hot, young guys. ÒMamo-chan! What is this?!Ó ÒI donÕt know!Ó Mamoru yelled back. ÒThe guy from the alleyway I spoke to last night offered me BSB tickets for quite a sum, and said they were first class seats!Ó ÒThey are! But for the wrong kind of band!Ó Usagi yelled and then squeaked when people behind her began to push and shove. ÒWhatÕs going on?!Ó she asked MamoruÉ but he was not standing next to her anymore as he was just a few seconds ago. ÒMamo-chan?!Ó When she received no answering yell she began to elbow her way out of the hall. ÒFine, see if I stay and wait for you the next time we do anything,Ó she grumbled, leaving the rowdy concert behind. And where was Mamoru? Why, he was moshing. Yes, he was moshing and having the grandest time. ÒAAAHHHH!! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!!Ó Ah yes, a grand old time. ÒLet go of me you bakas!Ó Mamoru yelled as he traveled over peoplesÕ heads. And then they did let goÉ and Mamoru fellÉ under the stomping feet of Bloody Sadistic Bashers fansÉ Well, he did want to be let down, ne? 84. When Lobsters Attack By: Patch AN: And the pre-moral of this story, *cheesy chinese accent* Beware of the big clipper! "Oh Mamo-chan, I've wanted to come to this seafood restaurant for so long, but it's just so expensive!" Usagi exclaimed. "How ever did you get reservations?" "I've got connections," he replied grinning. "Now come, the waiter will take us to our seats." They were led to a small table that had quite a nice view and as the waiter left them, he gave them each a menu. "So what are you in the mood for?" Mamoru asked. Himeko Serenity: as Usagi: "just you and some good good loving!" Himeko Serenity: oy... umm... LOL patchkhan1: LOL patchkhan1: HMMM what's on mehg's mind today? Himeko Serenity: ROFL Himeko Serenity: that just had to be said... patchkhan1: lol, yaaah sure "Hmm... the lobster sounds good. I think I'll have that." Usagi answered. "Well, I guess I'll be having that too." He motioned for the waiter to take their order. "Ah, will the Monsieur like to pick the lobster for the lady and himself?" the waiter asked after Mamoru gave him the order. "It is one of the restaurant's special features." "Go for it Mamo-chan!" Usagi said excitedly. "Well okay," Mamoru answered, wanting to impress his girlfriend more than anything else. He sauntered over to the lobster tank and gingerly put his hand in. Carefully he grabbed one from its back and then turned his head to grin at his girlfriend. This was so easy, he thought, his *macho-ness* taking over. Famous last thoughts. His grin suddenly fell away when something pinched his arm. "Nani??" He looked down to see that another lobster had grabbed onto his arm. Probably a comrade of the soon to be boiled one. "Hey! These things are supposed to be clipped!" Mamoru yelled. He quickly put his other arm in to get the second one off. Our Mamoru is *so* not bright today... Before he could blink an eye, it seemed as though the whole population of the lobster tank had latched on to his poor arms and as the public looked on in horror, Mamoru began to scream. "Itai!!!!" He pulled his arms out of the tank and waved them in the air, lobsters flying everywhere. "Itai!!!" He spun around, lobsters still clinging to him and he quickly careened out of the restaurant. All too soon a huge *SPLASH!* was heard and everyone rushed to the window. All they saw were a few air bubbles popping at the surface and nothing more. "Kuso!" Usagi whined. "Now what am I going to eat? He took all the lobsters with him!" The End. 85. Lethal Paper Cuts By: Patch AN: Those things are painful dammit! How come they hurt more than a stab wound? O.o;;) Mamoru was bored out of his mind. He was sitting in his afternoon physics class, a class he ordinarily loved but on a day like today he wanted to be anywhere else but here. The professorÕs teacher assistant was lecturing today and the poor man with his owlish glasses and dark three-piece suit just did not know how to teach. For cripesÕ sake, even he, only a second year college student could do a better job than this guy. But it was not to be and Mamoru sighed, feeling lethargic to his very core. A blank piece of paper lay in front of him, a first. He didnÕt even have the motivation to take notes! The drone of an airplane high in the sky interrupted his reverie. A light bulb flashed in his mind. Maybe he wasnÕt inspired to take diligent notes, but he was inspired to makeÉ paper airplanes! A chuckle of pure glee escaped him and he quickly coughed and straightened his expression when the professor shot him a disapproving glare. Oh, let the fun begin, he thought happily as he set about to folding the paper. He brought one side to the middle and pressed down to make the fold. He brought the other side down but when he slid his finger along the edge, his little skin cells could not handle the sharpness of the paper and they were cut open. Mamoru winced at the quick pain and stuck his finger in his mouth. How he hated these annoying cuts. But he would not be deterred from his paper plane making. Using the first finger on his other hand he attempted to make that fold. But that paper was sharp! Frowning, Mamoru stuck that finger into his mouth. He glared at the paper, willing it to fold by itself. He would have his paper airplane dammit! But after using the remaining six fingers and both of his thumbs, the paper plane still lay uncompleted before him. He now had paper cuts on all of his digits. He would be left smarting for the rest of the day. But he still wanted his paper airplane! How to fold the paper now? Ah well, that was simple. He lay his two hands down on the desk and pressed the paper, sliding his hands down the edges, from the middle outward. A startled ÒEEP!Ó interrupted the teacher assistant and students turned to see the source. There was Mamoru, looking at his hands with a horrified expression. The poor man had just slit his wrists and quickly bled to death. Darn those evil paper cuts! 86. Rei reacts DIFFERENTLY to Usagi being Moon Princess By: QS "My love... my princess," Tuxedo Kamen, also known as Chiba Mamoru and the recently discovered Prince Endymion, whispered to Princess Serenity. Behind them Sailor Mars turned bright red. "You two-timer!" she yelled angrily. "Fire SOUL!" "Sailor Mars!" the other three Senshi proclaimed in horror, but it was two late. They had one VERY fried prince on the floor, and Zoicite hadn't been the one to barbecue him. Mars tossed her long black hair over her shoulders. "No one cheats on me and lives to speak of it," she said, stalking out of the room. 87. Cheaters Never Win By: QS One of Mamoru's favorite things was sneaking kisses on Usagi in public. This proved to be the cause of his death. Usagi was giggling and licking an ice cream cone, laughing as he planted a kiss on her nose, bending down low. It's always fun to try to identify people from behind. Most of the time, we have about 50/50 odds- this time the odds were NOT in Mamoru's favor. "HOW DARE YOU, SAFFIR!" a voice came shrilly, and before either of the two young lovers knew what was happening, Mamoru was getting fried by a Dark Lightning attack. Usagi EEPED and jumped back. "What are you doing to my boyfriend?" she demanded of the Uncanny Sister who stood, ready to fry the blonde. "I'm KILLING him for being unfaithful! I'll teach Saf-" Petz started to rant, then paused as she got a good look at her victim. "Oops. That's not Saffir," she said, putting her hand behind her head with embarrassment. "My mistake. Sorry about that." With that, she teleported back to the Mother Ship. 88. Mistaken Identity By: QS "It was an honest mistake, Usagi-chan!" Usagi looked up from teary eyes, trying to decide if she was going to give Minako a little taste of exactly what a "Moon Spiral Heart Attack" did first-hand. "Now tell me exactly WHY you have your hair done up like that?" she demanded. The other girls looked nervous, but stayed out of the conversation. "Well, you know how my hair looked when I pretended to be you, right? Well, Luna said that if Kaolinite would have been more observant, she would have noticed how my ponytails were curly- it's not MY fault I have curly hai! I think it looked better that way-" "Minako, you're walking a VERY thin line here. Stop getting side-tracked and tell me what happened!" Usagi demanded. "Well, anyway, Luna said that I should practice on looking more like you. So I did the hair up, and I guess I forgot about it when I went to the arcade. Anyway, I felt someone grab me from behind, and start to nibble at my neck . . . What was I suppose to think? I mean, getting grabbed from behind? I thought it was a daimon! Before I could think, I transformed into Sailor Venus and launched my Love-Me Chain through his chest. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Didn't know humans had so much blood in them...." "WAHHHHHHH!" Usagi wailed. "Oh, it's not that big a deal- if you wait, he'll come back. He always does," Minako said soothingly. 89. QS-Mind wash too many times-write something really snotty if she doesnÕt get it in! Mehg mad >_< Gomen ne, demo QS was *supposed* to write this, but she never did. Ask her where the story is! 90. Millions of Bishonen, Bishonen for me . . . Millions of Bishonen, Bishonen for free By: QS AN: ^^;; No comment. ::runs off to grab peach-chans:: "I'm better looking!" "No, *I* am!" "Your Okaa-" *indignant gasp!* "Up my--" Haruka snickered, "What? Your ugly nose? Your mirror would crack at the sight of you!" Mamoru shot her a death glare fit for a reincarnation of Metallia. "Well, at least I AM a bishonen!" "A little flowery to be a bishonen, NE? At least *I* don't go around throwing roses at the random youma!" "Hey HEY! Where do *your* rose petals come from when you magically appear at the scene of the battle? Bishonen or Bishoujo? If there was a mid-category, you'd fit *right* in there!" "Would NOT!" "Would TO!" An outraged expression plastered itself on Haruka's face, marring the masculine features into something more feminine. "You know, I actually feel sorry for Odango Atama," she seethed, climbing onto her motorcycle. Yes, a ride would clear her mind. Indeed, it would. "*Besides*," she continued scathingly, "*My* motorcycle driving is FAR better than *yours*." "It is NOT!" "Wanna bet?" She challenged, eyes glinting dangerously. "I don't care *what* you say. I still say that I'm the best bishonen! I've got the classic effeminate look. It's essential for every TRUE bishonen!" Mamoru turned flatly at her, "That's because you *are* female. Besides, who says *you're* the best bishonen? Got proof?" Split second pause. "I thought so!" He scoffed, throwing his nose into the air. "Even your fanclubs says I'm the better than you are, so shut up!" She started the motor, listening it roar loudly. "What? Ack! Betrayal!" Mamoru looked shocked. Haruka grinned devilishly, welcoming his surprised expression. "Well, at least I don't have to cross dress to be a bishonen!" Mamoru announced triumphantly, armshooting into the air in a purely victorious gesture. *KAPOW!* "Ingrate," Haruka muttered at a very still Chiba Mamoru. 91. ItÕs a Bird! ItÕs a Plane! No, itÕs MamoruÕs Physics Textbook! By: Patch AN: IÕve opened up one of these college texts and can I tell you? You close the book and end up looking like this: @_@) Mamoru stood in front of his bookshelf, looking through all the volumes of scientific texts he had. He could spend hours just doing this. No disruptions, interruptions, distractions and anything else ending in -tion. After unconsciously looking around, he picked out one fat book and opened it. Closing his eyes, he breathed in deeply feeling completely blissful. Science was his passion but PhysicsÉ Physics was his secret lover. He thumbed through the book in his hand feeling completely at ease with seeing all the complex formulas and equations. After a while, he finally put the book back and looked through the shelves again. Suddenly there was a rumbling noise. Everything began moving all at once, rocking back and forth violently. The pottery decorations on top of the shelf began falling and he ducked from side to side to avoid them. Books began to fall from the shelf and Mamoru kept diving sideways. Gee, did he ever think to actually move *away* from the bookshelf? But no, his mind was still in a fuzzy, pleasurable haze from the interlude with that textbook. My Tuxedo Kamen abilities will help me avoid these falling books, he thought triumphantly as he kept dodging. But suddenly the Earth heaved beneath him and belatedly he watch the bookshelf fall on him. But did he even step backwards to move? Nope. He just watched and as his eyes widened, the last thing he saw was the spine of his favorite Physics textbook, ÒNewtonÕs Laws of Interspatial Gravity and ForceÓ coming down on him. How fitting. To die with his secret lover. Life is ironic, no? 92. Why Usagi Should Not Drive By: Lazuli Mamoru tried to look less nervous as Usagi bounced up and down in her seat. He hoped that everything would go okay. He knew it would. He had confidence in his Usako--didn't he? "Mammmmooo-chan! Why are you strapped in with extra buckles? Don't you trust me?" Usagi's eyes filled up with tears and Mamoru hastily removed the crash helmet and unbuckled a few of the straps that held him firmly to the seat so that he could hug her. "Of course I do, Usako!" Usagi's face turned into a sunny smile and she slammed on the gas pedal, nearly taking off Mamoru's arms as she sped forward. "Usako! Slow down! That's a dog in the middle of the road!" Mamoru closed his eyes in fear as Usagi made some wide turns, scattering pedestrians everywhere. "Mamo-chan! Look! I'm driving!" When Usagi realized that Mamoru wasn't responding she looked over at him, to find him pale and gripping the seat, almost looking like he was praying. Usagi's eyes narrowed, and she reached out to smack him. "Mamoo-chan you're so mean!" She wailed, giving him a good solid wack on the arm, not realizing that the door on his side was unlocked, sending him flying out the door, the straps only holding him in enough so that he didn't fly out. Instead it stretched out and held him under the wheels. *WHOMP* Usagi kept her eyes on the road like her Mamo-chan told her to do. "This is easy! I'm having fun now, Mamo-chan!" There was a snapping sound, and then another whomping sound. Usagi parked the car along the side of the road, wondering what animal she hit. She didn't see anything, and mentally shrugged. She walked back into her house, forgetting all about Mamo-chan. 92. Tuxedo Kamen, LeapingÉ erÉ Falling to the Rescue! By: Patch AN: He could have been sensible man, and lived on the 1st floor of the complex. But nooo, he wanted to be dashing and daring and *leap* from balconies) Mamoru grabbed his head as it began to pound, a signal that Usagi had transformed into Sailor Moon. Standing in his living room, he let the pain subside before he pulled out a beautiful blood red rose. ÒIÕm coming, Usako!Ó he called out before allowing the transformation to change him. He felt the power, the energy, and the rush that would have brought any mere human down to his/her knees. But he was not just anybody. He was Chiba Mamoru. Prince Endymion in the past. Neo-King Endymion in the future. The power of the Earth was his and his alone to control. He was undefeatable in the face of any youma. He could take on all of his enemies and he would. In but another moment, where Mamoru once stood, now stood the dashing figure of Tuxedo Kamen, heartthrob of countless girls (and countless SMRFF members). He was such a sexy thingÉ and he knew it. Running towards the open balcony doors, he grinned to himself, knowing tonight would be a short night indeed. He could just feel it. The attacking youma was probably a very weak thing. Rushing toward the balcony railing, he prepared to leap and did so, ready to feel the rush of air as he soared up and into the night. ButÉ he wasnÕt going to be flying upwards tonight. Just as he thought he could touch the stars, Tuxedo KamenÕs foot got caught right at the intricate carving of the railing and instead of jumping upwards, the poor man plummeted downwards. Right down to cool pavement where he made a nice *SPLAT* sound. Yes indeed, it was most definitely a short night. 93. Mauled by those Insufferable Teenyboppers By: Patch AN: Warning, if you are a teenybopper, be rest assured that Patch will hunt you out and stalk you for the rest of your irksome little life. Mamoru was shopping in the mall on a particular afternoon looking for a gift for his girlfriend. He was innocently strolling along, for the most part window shopping when suddenly an obnoxious, annoyingly piercing shriek rent the air. ÒOHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! ITÕS HIM ITÕS HIM!!!Ó Mamoru whirled around, in fighting stance, ready to battle a deadly youma and found himself totally confused when he saw about a dozen skinny girls running towards him at full speed. From what he could see, they were wearing skimpy clothes, too much make-up and a lot of glitter. Were they little girls or mini-tramps? The question has yet to be answered. They were probably running from the youma, he thought, beginning to run towards them in an effort to save them. Stupid idea. ÒItÕs alright!Ó He yelled, ÒJust stay calm-Ó Shrieks of delight interrupted his words as he suddenly found himself mobbed by these girls. They touched him, groped him, and kissed him and OW! One just bit him! ÒWhat the hell?!Ó One particular girl latched onto his arm, tears trailing down her face, bouncing up and down. ÒItÕs you! ItÕs you! ItÕs really you!Ó She cried, continuously jumping up and down. In another second she had fainted from hyperventilation. Mamoru gasped and bent down to help the girl but someone pulled at him and he was forced to straighten and see who was doing the pulling. ÒOh my god! HeÕs wearing his green jacket!Ó A chorus of shrieks and screams followed that statement and all of a sudden the girls began ripping off pieces of his jacket. But they didnÕt stop there. These teenyboppers all wanted a piece of our Mamoru. So they did. And each was able to take some part of Mamoru home, whether it be clothing, flesh or organ. 94. The Better Man By: Mehg AN: How many superheroes could one town need? ÒLook out Sailor Moon!Ó Sailor Mars shrieked, but just then annoying music infiltrated the scene. ÒDa na na na na na Batman! Batman! Batman!Ó ÒIÕve got you Sailor Moon!Ó The bat shouted, as he shot a bat-clamp into the building above him. The two heroes flew up the building. ÒArigatou.Ó Sailor Moon said, very confused. ÒDemo- WhereÕs Tuxedo Kamen-sama.Ó ÒIÕm here Sailor Moon. Back off Cape-boy. This is my domain.Ó ÒGotham is crime-free. Tokyo seemed to need some help from a real man- with REAL weapons. Not some girly flowers.Ó Batman sneered. Then he brought his car around. ÒSUGOI!Ó Sailor Moon cried, ÒIs that YOUR car?Ó ÒYes.Ó Batman executed with a smooth pick-up, ÒWould you like to go for a drive?Ó ÒHAI!Ó Sailor Moon giggled clapping her hands. ÒUsako- Oy! Usako!Ó The dismayed Tuxedo Kamen yelled. ÒGomen Mamo-chan, demo- look at this guyÕs car!Ó Then with a wicked grin she jumped into the bat-mobile and sped away with Batman. Tuxedo Kamen was heartbroken. ÒUSAKO!Ó He screamed then leapt from the top of the balcony. The senshi scattered as TK came hurtling towards them, then grimaced when they saw the mess that theyÕd have to clean up. ÒDoesnÕt take rejection well eh Mars?Ó Jupiter chuckled. Mercury shot her a cool glare and handed her a mop. Sighing the senshi got to work, mopping up what was left of Mamo-chan. 95. The Circle of Life . . . Gone Wrong By: Redrose AN: All Usagi wanted was to spend time with her Mamo-chan, it didnÕt matter where they went but to Mamoru it meant the world. Perhaps he should have taken his own advice, and planned better, and not allowed himself to get so distracted Paris, London, The Swiss Alps, Hawaii, Little Bed and Breakfast in New England, Niagara FallsÉ The possibilities was endless. He sighed and glanced around the room. Piles from these and many other places were scattered about MamoruÕs normally impeccably tidy apartment. It was exactly two weeks before the *BIG* night. And our hero discovered he had forgotten one minor detail. ÒWhere are you going?Ó MotokiÕs question rang through his ears. It was a simple question really, one which he should have the answer for considering how perfect he wanted everything to go. But all Mamoru could do was gape at his best friend before the realization hit him like a stampede of elephants. Without a second glance, Mamoru dashed out of the arcade and into his sleek BMW. He sped down the street leaving a trail of dust behind him it didnÕtÕ matter since he was a man on a missionÉ A mission that was supposed to have been completed weeks ago. Mamoru sighed again. This was not working out too well, every place he called was booked. And he was rapidly getting nowhere. Gray. That was the color that caught his attention Mamoru reached out and grabbed the pamphlet. His eyes lit up and his mouth twitched upwards his Usako had always wanted to sleep under the stars. Two weeks laterÉ ÒOh Mamo-chanÉ look!Ó Usagi squealed with delight as she pointed to a monkey in a tree in the Serengeti Reservation. Mamoru merely nodded and smiled, not fully comprehending what his wife was so excited about. You could say that his mind was somewhere else. Perhaps he was thinking about the evening ahead of them. ÒTheyÕre so kawaii ne?Ó ÒHai, Usako.Ó Maybe it was the heat from the blazing sun or maybe the heated lower regions; that caused MamoruÕs daze. It didnÕtÕ matter since, instead of Usagi daydreaming about Mamoru it was Mamoru daydreaming about Usagi. So it was easy to see how distracted Mamoru got, and how distracted he got from the rest of the Safari group. He had wandered to the edge of a cliff which was overlooking a great canyon. Mamoru tripped on a rock and rolled down the hill, bouncing off boulders as he made his descent down. ÒITAI!Ó he exclaimed, as he grabbed his head. All of a sudden he felt the ground beneath him begin to quake. Mamoru sat upright as his eyes scanned the horizon. All he saw was the sand blowing towards him cloaking whatever was behind it. Mamoru realized too late that it was a stampede of elephants. Suddenly he knew how Mufasa felt. 96. The Rose Suitor Series The Rose Suitor -If TLP Won! AN: *TLP walks in and cues funny music* IÕm sure many of you will recognize this song ^_____^ *Ultimate Destiny Apocalypse begins playing, (from Utena)* May the duel begin! ÒI challenge you for the rose suitor!Ó the words rang through LazÕs head, as she walked the never ending escalator to the dueling grounds that mysteriously hovered in the air above a spooky forest. Laz scoffed at the silly look given to her by the piggy that had been trying so hard to be serious. She couldnÕt help but laugh at dueling with a piggy-a male piggy at that-for Mamoru, the rose suitor. Nevertheless she had to accept the challenge or risk loosing her place with the duelists. As she finds herself stepping into the dueling arena, LazÕs thoughts are brought to the present. Standing before her is a pink butterball of a pig, his tail curled just enough that he couldnÕt wag it. One ear drooped over an eye, as he held the sword our before him, a white rose hung from his coat. *transformation scene edited, because I donÕt want to write one* *cues more freaky music sung by a childrenÕs choir and an opera reject* Suddenly a car comes out from nowhere and begins driving around in circles, both the duelists sweat-drop. TLP signals Laz for a truce, who accepts. Pulling a banana from nowhere, TLP swallows it whole and then pulls the peel from his big mouth. He waits for just a minute before throwing the peel just in front of the carÕs path. The car hits the banana peel and loses control, careening forwards and backwards and sideways before breaking a side railing and plummeting to the ground below, The two duelists and Mamoru step over the edge and look down into the mists below. TLP looks into the abyss. His gaze swings from Mamoru, who is standing right next to him, looking into the abyss. TLPÕs eyes shift back to the abyss and he waits for a sound from the car hitting the ground. None yet. His eyes go back to Mamoru. The abyss. Mamoru. Abyss. Mamoru. Abyss. Push. TLPÕs grin couldnÕt have been wider as he left the dueling arena. He hadnÕt won the battle, but the war was finally over. TLP-1. Mamoru-dead. That would be the end of the Absolute Destiny Apocalypse. WHAT?!? TLP looks at the SMRFF list No bashing hereÉ I just pushed him ^(=)^ The Rose Suitor- If QS won! "You are so WEAK!" "Itai! Onegai, sama, I beg of you, no more!" The Queen of the Dark Moon's eyes blazed with fury. "You're telling me that you can't handle 24 hours of Pixy Misa? I don't know how you ever managed to become the main bishonen. Everyone knows that Saffir could survive." Mamoru hung his head in shame, suspended from the wall in thick chains. Parading around in the robes of Nehelenia, Quicksilver stared deep into the prized bishounen's eyes. "You know, with the snap of my fingers, I could have you thrown into a lemon with Beryl. And I wouldn't hold back on anything either." His eyes widened in fear. "Oh, please no..." Quicksilver pressed a button and suddenly appeared in a red uniform, tightly pulled back hair and thin rimmed glasses. "Now, are you ready to listen?" Mamoru blinked. "Who are you now?" Her eyes narrowed. "That is no way to speak to a lady! I'll have you trampled beneath one of those foolish boys' gundam... then we'll see how well you'll obey." "I don't have the slightest clue--" "Shut up while I'm talking!" She pressed another button and transformed into the clothing of a Black Moon family member. As she turned back to Mamoru, he looked ready to scream. "What ever you do, just don't start laughing." Quicksilver flicked a strand of green hair away from her face, bringing the bright pink fan up to her mouth. "What, you mean like this? O HO HO HO HO HO!" she cackled, sounding much like a hyena. Mamoru tried to bring his hands to his ears but they were shackled tightly to the wall. Using this to her advantage, Quicksilver strolled over to Mamoru, caressing his face with her feathery fan. "I never could figure out why the baka Neo-Queen found you so attractive... but I suppose you'll have to do for now." Mamoru screamed, his entire body writhing in pain. Then he went limp, much to QS a la Esmaraude's surprise. "Such a pity... thank heaven that's over. Oh, Saffir-kuuuuuuuuuun!" Mehg's slave AN: *giggles* I promise Mehg isn't this mean at all!! It was a dark and stormy night when Mehg made her evil decision. The ecision to capture the elusive Usagi-owned Mamo-chan. It was not as hard as one might think... quick blow to the head, drag him back to her house. And wait for him to wake up... "Uhhhh..." "Mamo-chan?" "Hey! You're not Usako!" "Ohhh, smart one." said Mehg, walking over to where Mamo-chan had lept up. "EEp! Who are you?" "I'm Mehg, your new owner." "My what? Hold up..." said Mamoru, backing away. "Guess what!?" she squealed happily, "You have the honor of being MY slave!!" "Umm, and how did I get such a honor?" he gulped. "I captured you! Now, slave, go do...something romantic!" "Sorry, I only do romantic stuff for Usagi." "Whyyyyy? You're mine now! Give me a rose!" said Mehg, holding out her hand. "No." he said, turning away. "Please?" begged Mehg. "No. No way. No how. Now give me back to Usako." "Fine." said Mehg. A moment of silence followed until Mamoru filled it. "Well? Let me out of this house." "Mwhahah! If I can't have you, no one can!" cried Mehg, taking out her earring and racing towards Mamo-chan. He tried to run away, but it was just too late. With a swift blow in the chest, Mehg's earring pierced Mamoru's very heart. Cackling evilly, Mehg sat down on the floor and put her earring back in. "Now no one will have him!" she chirped. The Rose Suitor -If Shana won... AN: Let's all think back to the night that Laz and Baka were bored and started up this quickly dead topic... A fight for the Rose Suitor... who would get to have Mamo as their slave? And what would Shana do if she were to win him? "C'mon Mamoru. I won you fair and square. You're my slave now!" Mamoru pouted. "Shana... I do not want to go club-hopping with you!" "Mamoru... you're my slave. You have to do whatever I say." Mamoru sighed and then began getting ready. "That's a good slave." She patted him on the head and then ran to get ready herself. When they were ready they called a Taxi and drove downtown. They entered the club and Mamoru was shocked to see that the couples were all men. "Umm..." "Over here Mamoru-" Shana waved calling him over to one of the tables. Mamoru walked over and caught sight of someone he never wanted to see again. It was Fisheye. "This is my friend." Shana said introducing Mamoru to Fisheye. Mamoru shuddered and sat down next to Shana. Shana kept on introducing people. "And this is Zoicite, and Kunzite-" She paused and took a sip from her drink. "Mamoru? Come and dance with me." Mamoru stood up and began dancing with her. Shana felt a tap on her shoulder. "May I cut in?" "Sure." Shana backed up and Zoicite took over. Mamoru felt sick. Zoicite started up the conversation. "It sure is nice to see you again Cape Boy. Man did I ever miss you-Ó Mamoru pushed himself away and found himself in Kunzite's arms. "Endymion-sama. How have you been? You look ravishing as always-" Mamoru gave a look of fright and was passed on to another man's arms. Fisheye looked at him with love in his eyes. "Mamoru-chan... I missed you." He lent in for a kiss but Mamoru roughly jumped out of his arms... and right into another man's. "Hey there cute stuff!" Mamoru went through a night of terror, after the last "Hey Big Boy!" of the evening. He was beginning to feel like he fit in. The club opened up a rousing game of strip poker, and that was when Usagi found them. ÒMAMO-CHAN!Ó She shrieked. Mamoru, clad only in his boxers stood up trying to explain, ÒIt isnÕt how it looks Usako-Ò ÒOh yes it is.Ó Fisheye said, hugging Mamo-chan from behind. ÒYouÕre mine now Mamoru.Ó Usagi screamed in outrage then spun on her heel and marched out of the club. Mamoru tried to go after her, but he was detained. Usagi liberally doused the building with gasoline, and blocked every exit. ÒIf I donÕt have Mamo-chan, no one will.Ó Her eyes glinted then she tossed the match down on the trail of gasoline, leading to the building. ÒBWAHAHAHAH!Ó She rejoiced as she listened to the screams of the doomed men inside. Mamoru shouldnÕt have messed with a jealous lover. Sometimes, they tend to snap! The Rose Suitor -If Patch won AN: *giggles* No offense to Jo-Bob or Patch (the neko) "Lookie Mamo-chan! Here's our room!" Patch exclaimed opening the door. Mamoru sweat dropped as he examined the girl's room. "Anou- where's MY room?" Patch bounced into the room and flipped on her computer. "Right here silly. Now go ahead and make yourself comfy." Mamoru sunk down onto the floor and drew little circles in the carpet with his fingers. Patch: the neko yawned and opened her eyes. Stretching she jumped down off of the bed and padded over towards the strange newcomer. Sniffing him with airs she meowed a little and then flaunted away and jumped back onto the bed. Patch turned around from her AIM conversation with her mascot Jo-Bob and smiled. "See Patch likes you Mamo-chan!" she cooed sweetly glancing from her neko to HER bishounen. Mamoru sweat dropped as he fixed his gaze on Patch, who was now furiously engaged in licking her butt. Just then a "Hyuck hyuck." came from the doorway and Jo-Bob walked in. Patch jumped up and hissed at the newcomer. The other Patch smiled and then pointed to Mamo-chan. "See I told ya!" "Hyuck hyuck." Her smile growing even wider she pointed to Mamoru. "Mamo-chan! You remember the rules! You get to do my laundry-" 'and so much more...' "So..." pointing to the basket by the door. "There it is!" Mamoru groaned and fixed Patch with a puzzled look. Smiling innocently she waited. He sighed and then hefted the laundry basket up. Surprisingly it weighed a ton. "Hyuck hyuck." "Hmm? Oh yeah! Mamo-chan the laundry room's downstairs." Mamoru nodded but his face was concealed behind the mountain of clothing. Taking a few steps down the stairs, Mamoru's foot encountered a roller skate! Slipping and throwing the laundry upwards he fell flat on his back. The clothing fell in all directions and then the misplaced bowling ball came falling down towards Mamo-chan's head. He watched in horror as it doomed closer and closer... and then he couldn't watch anymore. Hearing a thud Patch ran towards the stairs and noticed her laundry in disarray. Then she saw Mamoru. Screaming she jumped over him and saw the bowling ball. 'So that's where I left it...' she mused. "Jo-Bob! Wanna go shopping?" "Hyuck hyuck!" Becomes Miri's Slave AN: Where would we authors be w/o Miri's bouncy cheerfulness? Where would Mamoru be?? The swishing of pom poms filled the air. "Alright Mamoru, you're my slave and I say you have to do a cartwheel!" Mamoru looked aghast at the cheery girl holding pinky pink pom poms. She wore a light pink shirt with "Official SMRFF" on the front and "Ego Booster" on the back. Most interesting. "Must I?" "You must," Miri replied with a pout. "Now be a good boy and," she made a circular motion with her finger and smiled. Mamoru sighed heavily and then leaned his body to the right and accomplished a cartwheel. "Good! Good!" Miri exclaimed, bouncing up and down with her pom poms. "Again! Again!" Mamoru shook his head and took a deep breath. "Wait!" Her yell made him stop and turn around with a questioned look. "You have to do it with these!" she yelled running up to him. The next thing Mamoru knew, he was holding his very own set of pom poms. How special he felt. "Now cartwheel baby!" Mamoru looked down once, shook his head, looked down again, sighed and then went to it. The pom poms touched the floor as he turned and Miri's eyes sparkled with excitement as her mouth opened in a big smile. And then that very mouth dropped open and her eyes went wide as Mamoru's pop poms slipped on the recently waxed wooden floor. A resounding crack of someone's neck breaking filled the room and it was immediately followed by a quite prominent smack... the sound of one very male body hitting against the floor... never to get up again. "Oh crud," Miri pouted, "I just knew those people had buffed the floor too well." She remained silent and then jumped up happily in the next moment. "Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make it up by reading lots and lots of WAFFy fics. I'm sure Usagi won't miss him too much." And with that Miri flounced off, her pom poms swishing and her lips mouthing some cheerleading rant. The Rose Suitor -If Ely Won! ÒOh god, tell me I just did not seeÉÓ TLP nodded sadly. ÒYup, Chibi-Usa just walked by.Ó Ely screeched in rage. ÒI canÕt take it anymore! I canÕt take any more of that pink headed spore! That evil miscreant must DIE!!Ó She stomped to her closet and pulled out a devilish looking mallet. If one looked closely enough, they could see the crusted blood around the blunt edges. ÒI will now stalk that creature and make this world a better place.Ó Just as Ely was about to open her door, TLPÕs voice stopped her. His smile was crafty and almost malicious. ÒYou know, Ely, if you really want to get rid of the problem, you always go to the source.Ó ÒYeah, so?Ó ÒWell, Chibi-Usa is the problemÉ whatÕs the source?Ó The realization dawned upon Ely quite quickly. ÒMamo-chan. DemoÉ I canÕt kill off one of the hottest bishies around. ThatÕs justÉ inhuman.Ó ÒWell, he isnÕt exactly human.Ó TLP grinned. Ely returned the grin with devilish amusement and brandishing her mallet stalked off down the street. ÒOH MAMO-CHANÉÓ She sang out, ÒMaaamooo-chanÉ come to your mistress!Ó she commanded raising the mallet. Mamoru appeared in front of her. ÒHai?Ó He gulped. *BAM* With one large thwack on the noggin Mamo-chan was pounded into the ground up to his waist. ÒI really hate to do this to you Mamo-chanÉ demo- itÕs for the good of the world! If youÕre non-existent then well, the spore is as well! Gomen ne.Ó She apologized quietly, then plummeted the mallet back onto the shrieking bishie. TLP moved behind Ely and patted her back. ÒA job well done Ely.Ó ElyÕs eyes glittered and flashed dangerously. *BAM* ÒItaiÉ @_@Ó whimpered TLP as he toppled over with a bump the size of a coconut on his head. The Rose Suitor -If Elizabeth James Won! AN: The tangoÉ Cha cha cha! Polka anyone? ÒCÕmon Mamo-chan, weÕre going to be late!Ó Liz whined as she pulled the bishie down the road. ÒTonightÕs our first lesson- the least we could do was be on time!Ó Liz growled. ÒDemo- IÕm not, Liz I just donÕt wanna!Ó The kawaii pathetic slave wailed. ÒUsakoÉÓ he sniffed wiping away a tear. Liz sighed, ÒCÕmon, weÕre dancing Mamo-chan! YouÕre such a PERfect partner, I canÕt wait to dance in my new shoes!Ó Liz giggled and maintaining an iron grip pulled her reluctant ÒpartnerÓ into the studio. ÒOkay Everyone!Ó The director called clapping his hands for attention. All eyes riveted on the man, except one person who was busy studying his shoelaces. ÒGet into your dancing positions, people and letÕs DANCE!Ó Mamoru snapped his head up as Liz suddenly grabbed him and pulled him close. One arm went around his waist, and the otherÉ ÒHey, you canÕt grab my butt!Ó Liz smiled up sweetly at him. ÒOh, but I can. YouÕre mine, Mamo-chan. Now shake that tushie!Ó Now in the standard way of dancing, it is the man that usually leads and the woman follows, allowing herself to be pulled into the steps. But since Liz is Liz, sheÕs leading today! Everything was actually going quite smoothly, until- ÒITAI!!Ó ÒOh dear.Ó Mamoru looked down in horror to see blood gushing like an oil well from his left foot. He looked back up at Liz. ÒYou punctured my foot!Ó ÒOops. Well,Ó she replied, looking downwards. ÒItÕs just a small scratch. CÕmon, weÕre still not done!Ó She whirled him around, giggling slightly madly. ÒITAI!Ó Liz pouted. ÒMamo-chan, I know you can do this!Ó ÒYou just punctured my other foot!Ó Mamoru looked down and paled. ÒOh KamiÉ you punctured a vital vein!Ó ÒSo? Can I help it if I like wearing stilettos?Ó MamoruÕs eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed in front of Liz. ÒOh Mamo-chan, youÕre such a party-pooper.Ó Having said that, she flounced off to find herself another dance partner. The Rose Suitor- If Lazuli and Mizu Won Lazuli ran into the room, brandishing her metal baseball bat. Mizu looked up, calmly, and went back to organizing her files. "Go ahead and try, but just don't knock anything over! I've spent weeks organizing this mess!" Stacks of paperwork, some labeled ÒUsa-dayÓ ÒVotingÓ and ÒMamoÓ surrounded Mizu. Lazuli nodded, then leveled the weapon at Mizu. "I will win back the Mamo-chan that you have kept as your slave! You will not have him! I will duel you for our loveable, but dense Bish!" Mizu calmly stood up, and set aside the huge set of paperclips that she had been using to mark pages. "Fine. You want to duel? Fine!" Out of nowhere, roses blew all around, leaving the two to stand in a battlefield with roses all around. "Anou.....can I escape now before you run me through?" Both Mizu and Lazuli glared at him. "No! You are the Rose Bride...er..groom...uh..." Mizu and Lazuli shut up, and faced each other again. "I will get you for disturbing the time I need to organize Mamo-day! We can't have the same problems that we did for Usa!" Out of nowhere multitudes of paper clips came flying at Lazuli, who ducked and rolled out of the way, using Mamo-chan as a shield. "ACCCKKK!" Mizu ignored the cries of pain as Lazuli lunged at Mizu with her bat. Mizu grabbed the already bleeding Mamo-chan as Lazuli's bat came down in a wide arc, smacking him upside the head. He toppled to the ground, little swirlies in eyes. "Itai....." Mizu stepped on his bleeding body as she faced Lazuli again with a large pencil, and lost her footing when Lazuli tripped at knocked them both over. The pencil aimed downwards, and there was a pained moan, and then silence. Mizu and Lazuli forgot about their fight for a moment, and then looked down at the man they had been fighting over. He was....dead.... Lazuli stared at Mizu. "You....you...killed him!" She muttered. Mizu shrugged. "I guess so. There's your taff for the day." The two combatants walked arm in arm to discuss what other evil plans could happen for Mamo-day. Owari! Uninvited AN: Hehehe-really seriously people this is such a horrible dilemma! Redrose was going insane. The doorbell had rung again. This time it was her great grandfatherÕs second cousin from Zambia with his fourteen brothers and sisters. They were already housing two dobermanÕs- known as the cousins, a crotchety old Aunt, money-grubbing lazy family, and now it had rung again. How much more could she take!?! ÒThatÕs it!Ó she shrieked and picked up her fatherÕs laptop. ÒThe next person who shows up on this doorstep is going to get booted!Ó She snickered at her pun and opened the door. There stood a very confuzzled bishounen. ÒAnou- is this the Redrose residence?Ó Mamo-chan blurted. ÒYes. Hello Mamo-chan.Ó Redrose smiled, hiding the laptop behind her back. ÒWell, IÕm looking for Redrose.Ó Mamo-chan grimaced when he saw the vein pulsing in her forehead. ÒYes, IÕm she.Ó ÒHai, well Patchie sent me over to be your slave for the day- IÕm kind of tired, can you show me where to sleep?Ó Mamoru questioned with a yawn. Redrose let out a bloodcurdling scream and slammed the deadly computer over the poor bishie. Mamo-chan: x_x Redrose: ^_^ Mehg: *sweatdrops* I think she needed to release some stressÉ hehe Mamo-chanÕs as good as any to take it out on ne Minna? 97. We're not in Kansas Anymore By: Patch and Redrose AN: We always knew that Mamo-chan's green jacket could get him into trouble. Too bad he didn't know just how much trouble he could get into. It isn't easy being green. Glancing at his watch, Mamoru eagerly waited for the moment that his Usako would run into him. There were ten seconds left before he saw the whirlwind that was his favorite bunny. 10 . . . 9 . . . 8 . . . 7 . . . 6 . . . A wailing sound caught his attention, interrupting his countdown. His eyes moved from the watch to the sidewalk in front of him. His Usako was early? As the wind began to blow around him, he squinted his eyes to see the form of his golden angel. His eyes widened when all he saw was black . . . A while later . . . Mamoru got up from the ground, dazed and confused. He grabbed his head and yelled an obscenity. Glancing around his surroundings, he noted that he wasn't in Tokyo anymore. Rather than the normal gray, concrete sidewalk, he was sitting on top of a yellow brick road. In the distance, he could hear the sound what sounded like chipmunks singing, "Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow, follow . . . " "Nani!!!??!!" he exclaimed as he slowly got up and headed towards the sound. He soon came upon little men and women singing cheerfully. It reminded him of a movie he saw long ago with his Usako. They didn't notice his presence until he touched the shoulder of one of them. The little man turned around, a big smile on his face. Once he saw Mamoru's green jacket, the smile faded and his face paled. "The wicked witch! The wicked witch!" he shrieked, "She's back!" he yelled as he began to run away. Mamoru stared in confusion as all of them turned to look at him with horror. He was wondering what he had done wrong. All of a sudden he heard a sharp whistling sound. He looked to his right, then to his left, before looking up, a little too late. Seconds before he had a chance to move, a house fell on top of him. The little munchkins came out of their hiding places and yelled cheers of joy, "Ding dong, the witch is dead!" 98. Blood Lust By: Redrose AN: hmmmm . . . letÕs just say that Mamo-chan shouldÕve cut back on the chocolate. ÒI vant to suck your blood,Ó the figure said in a cheesy transylvanian accent. ÒI, Tuxedo Kamen, will not allow you to drink my blood!Ó TK answered as he produced a rose and sent it towards the dark man in front of him. ÒYou have no choice,Ó Dracula said as he dodged the rose attack and lunged at Tuxedo Kamen. Caught off guard, Tuxedo Kamen didnÕt have enough time to react, thus he allowed himself to be pushed into a nearby wall, where he was cornered by a true Dark Prince. ÒHow vere you going to stop me again?Ó Dracula taunted. Tuxedo Kamen tried his hardest to get out of the hold that the vampire had on him. Unfortunately he forgot the golden rule about vampires: never look in their eyes. Tuxedo Kamen looked up to see the lust for blood in the ancient vampireÕs eyes. He was so mesmerized by it that he didnÕt notice Dracula come closer to his neck and begin to nibble at it. DraculaÕs fangs came out as he took a bit of Tuxedo KamenÕs neck, and began to drink. Dracula was in heaven as he felt the warm and sticky blood enter his mouth. It didnÕt taste like any other blood he had ever had. Throughout the years, he had tasted various types of blood, but none had been as sweet as Tuxedo KamenÕs. Finally the realization hit him. The blood tasted sweeter since Tuxedo Kamen was a chocoholic. As a vampire, he couldnÕt taste chocolate-or anything else for that matter. Dracula couldnÕt remember the last time he had had it. So, he just kept drinking and drinking, not even noticing how much Tuxedo Kamen was paling until he fell limply in his arms. ÒOh well! IÕm sure I can change Demando into my slave!Ó he sighed as he left Tuxedo KamenÕs body in the alley and headed off to Nemesis. 99. Chinatown or bust! By: Redrose AN: Our poor Mamo-chan is trying to find his way in the big city (based on mine, mehgÕs, patchÕs, and ljÕs experience). He was giddy. That was the only way to describe it. Mamoru had never been on a subway before. Sure he lived in Tokyo and was used to using mass transportation like buses and trains . . . but this was New York! Mamoru had promised his Usako that he would buy her some anime stuff from Chinatown. Why he agreed was beyond him, especially since anime are born in Japan. He let out a sigh before the giddiness kicked in again. If he didnÕt agree to get things for her, then he wouldÕve never gotten to go on the subway. Mamoru walked down the steps of Penn Station. The rude man at the counter told him to take the A, C, or E train to Canal Street (which is basically Chinatown). So, here he was waiting for one of the trains to show up. He heard the sounds of the train echo throughout the underground track and stepped forward. A gust of wind passed him, making a whoosh sound as the train came to a stop. He looked to the side and saw that the train said A Express on it. Remembering the words of the man at the counter, Mamoru chose not to go on the train. A fatal mistake on his part. Mamoru waited once more. Glancing at his watch, he noticed that he had been there for 10 minutes and he needed to get back to the hotel in time for Dr. St. AngeloÕs lecture on the Biology of insects. He couldnÕt miss that one! He saw a man dressed in a business suit and figured that he looked like he knew where he was going. ÒGom- uhh, excuse me sir?Ó ÒYes,Ó the man said, looking at Mamoru. Mamoru hesitated as he saw the dark gleam in the manÕs eyes. Something just didnÕt feel right. ÒUm, IÕm trying to get to Chinatown and was wondering if you knew which train I needed to take?Ó ÒThe A, C, or E.Ó ÒI was told that . . . I saw an A Express train earlier, would that take me there?Ó ÒYep. It stops at Canal and Lafayette.Ó ÒThanks,Ó Mamoru said as he heard the sounds of an approaching train once again. He took two steps forward in an attempt to see the letter of the train. The other man, noticed how dangerously close Mamoru was to the end of the platform and grinned evilly. With one small push, Mamoru fell down, onto the tracks. The last thing he saw was the bright head lights of the A Express train. Demando grinned again, ÒNow Serenity will be mine!Ó 100. A Rose in the Concrete World By: Redrose AN: this is the story of how Mehg and I went to find junk food . . . with a twist. Read at your own risk. ÒMamo-chan!Ó Usagi called from the kitchen. ÒHai, Usako?Ó Mamoru responded as he lowered the volume of the television in the living room. ÒCould you do me a favor, onegai?Ó ÒAnything . . . Ó he said, turning off the t.v. and entering the kitchen. Usagi placed the neatly written sheet of paper in his hand and smiled sweetly. Mamoru glanced at the paper in his hand. An intricate pattern of purple vines surrounded the matching purple lines. The shopping list heading was written in an elegant font. It was accompanied by a list of ten items. ÒNe, Usako, didnÕt we go grocery shopping yesterday?Ó ÒFor your information, we went three days ago! And thatÕs besides the point! The girls are coming over later, and I need something to feed them!Ó she yelled back. Seeing that it was a lost cause, Mamoru gave in by giving his wife a kiss on her lips, effectively shutting her up. He then grabbed the keys from the key rack and headed out the door, leaving Usagi in a daze. Mamoru pulled into the parking spot. He then put the car in reverse and fixed it so that his car was exactly in the middle of the two white lines. He knew that it was an anal habit, but he felt that someone had to be courteous, especially in a world where no one was. He got up to the automatic door, just as a man in a blue shirt was locking it. ÒNani??Ó ÒGomen, but weÕre closed.Ó ÒDemo, I just have a few things to purchase. I wonÕt be too lon-Ó ÒSorry, *weÕre* closed,Ó he said as he walked away. Mamoru sighed and reluctantly walked back to his perfectly parked car and drove off to another store. When he got there, he noticed that two men were attempting to open the automatic door. Figuring that it was closed as well, Mamoru made a sharp U-turn out of the parking lot and headed for yet another store. Thankfully for Mamoru, the store was still open. What was that saying? Ahh, yes, third time's a charm, Mamoru thought as he grinned. He pulled into the spot just as a truck pulled into the parking lot. While the driver, Bob, was waiting for Mamoru to park, he grabbed a chocolate chip cookie from the box and munched on it. A big piece of it fell off, onto his red shirt. Bob noticed the parking lights on the car and assumed that Mamoru had finished parking, Bob released the brake and pushed the gas pedal while reaching for the cookie crumb. Meanwhile, Mamoru realized that his car favored the left side by a quarter of an inch. He put the car into reverse and accidentally slammed on the gas . . . CRASH!!!!!! ÒKUSO!!!!!!!!!!!Ó But it was too late. If Mamoru hadnÕt been so anal, he mightÕve saved his ass. one more left minna! we hope that you've enjoyed it thus far. feedback is much appreciated!
