I don’t think we’re in Metrolex anymore, Toto. 5 minutes later... Justin: (sitting on a bench) OK, boy. Keep it together. I’m on a space station... in the middle of no-where... and I have no idea how I got here. Let’s see..... the last thing I remember Aisha and I were getting ready for.... Aisha!

Justin: ... about 5’ 9”... Justin: ... long pointy ears... Justin: ... and long silvery-white hair? Merchant: Nope. Barkeep: Sorry, son. Man: Can’t say I have. Woman: No. I’m sorry. Shopkeep: Not around here. Say, you alright, kid? You look terrible. 2 hours later... Justin: (slowly trudging along the street, completely exhausted) Aisha. Aisha.... Aah! (collapses) “Whump!” Passerby: Hey, pal, you OK? Justin: Uhhhh... Passerby: Out too late? Look like you spent the night in the gutter. Justin: Get away from me!! Passerby: (leaves) Justin: (sits up against a wall, buries his face in his hands) *sniff, sob, sob* God help me. *sniff* I don’t know where I am or what’s going on or.... *sniff* Please help me.

Been there already. Aisha?! Manager: Excuse me, sir. But I think... Justin: Aisha! ???: PURRAM! Justin: (looks down a hall and sees someone in a red and gold kimono running towards him) AISHA!

But our policy is cash up front. Justin: (instantly angry) I ain’t givin’ you jack shit. (to Aisha) Let’s go. Aisha: Way ahead of you. Manager: Sir, if you refuse to pay, I have no choice but to call the police. Justin: Not if I call them first. I’m not paying for what’s already mine. Manager: Yours? Just who do you think you are? Justin: (grabs Aisha’s hand shows him their rings) HER FIANCÉ! Manager: 0.0 ..... (to himself) Oh dear. Justin and Aisha: (start to walk out) Manager: N-now wait just a minute here! I paid good money for that girl! Justin: (walks over to the manager) And it’s the worst investment you’ve ever made. (punches him in the face) “POW!” Manager: OOF! (goes down in one hit) “BOOM!” Justin and Aisha: (leave) Manager: Uhhh. My father warned me about making any deals concerning C’tarls. Uh. (passes out)

Aisha: Come quick! We’ve been robbed! Justin: What?! --the garage-- Justin: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The garage door is open and the DeLorean is gone. Justin: (falls to his knees) No! Doc! No, Doc, no! Aisha: Someone must’ve broken in during the night. Justin: Nooo! Why me? Why Doc? Aisha: I already called the police. They said they’d try to call back later today. Justin: (near crying) My baby. Aisha: (kneels down and hugs him) I’m sorry, honey. Justin: Taken in the prime of his existence. Why couldn’t it have been me!? Aisha: Don’t worry. I’m sure the police will do everything they can. But look on the bright side. At least we didn’t need it to take Kida to Washu’s for the week. Justin: I do not need this a week and a half before my wedding. later... Aisha: Washu’s portal should be opening any minute now. You’ve got everything you’ll need, kitten? Kida: (slings a duffle bad over her shoulder) Yup! This is gonna be awesome! How’s dad doing? Aisha: Still in the garage. Kida: He’ll get over it. A portal opens in the middle of the foyer. Kida: Well, there’s my ride. (hugs Aisha) Bye mom. Aisha: (kisses her cheek) Bye Kida-chan. Be safe. Kida: I will. See ya next week! (steps through the portal and vanishes) “ring-ring” Aisha: (picks up the phone) Hello?...... OK. Just a sec. (walks to the garage door) *snicker* Ahem. (opens the door) Justin: (sitting in the middle of the garage) Oh Doc! I pine for you! Aisha: Justin! It’s the police! Justin: (scrambles to get up and get to the door, then snatches the phone from Aisha’s hand) Hello!? Officer: Hello, Mr. Artukei. This is Officer Ibukah, Metrolex Police, Stolen Vehicles Unit. We heard that your car was found stolen earlier today. Could you please describe it for us? Justin: It’s a DeLorean, silver. License plate number N-O-V-1-2-5-5. That’s Negative-Opera-Venice-1-2-5-5. It has a custom installed back row, so it’s a little longer than most. Officer: Thank you sir. We’ll do the best we can. Justin: Thank you so much. --Washu’s lab-- Washu: (sitting at a speaker phone, hangs up) “Negative-Opera-Venice”? Who does he think he is? A cop? Kida: I think he’s feeling a lot better. Washu: How’d he take it initially? Kida: About how I thought he would. Washu: (gets up) This was a great idea, Kida. Very devious but a lot of fun. ^_^ Kida: The real fun is just about to begin. Washu and Kida move to where the “stolen” DeLorean sits in the center of the lab. Washu: You ready to get started on your parents’ wedding present? Kida: (wearing gloves and goggles, lights a welding torch) Let the sparks fly!

Why is it set in the future? You'll see.

Episode #144 Chapter 13, part 5 Bad Jokes Felix: Hey, Artukei. What’s green, and slimy, and crawls up your leg? Justin: For the hundredth time, Fee, I know what it is. And I think it’s disgusting, insensitive, and completely tasteless. Felix: Oh, c’mon you old prude! Justin: I have morals. Which is something your sense of humor severely lacks. Felix: What’s the word Gummy uses to describe you? Tight... Justin: Don’t! Cuz I’m not. I hope to god he doesn’t share any of his jokes during the farewell party tonight. later that night... --living room-- Summer: (singing karaoke) “All you people, can’t ‘cha see? Can’t ‘cha see How your love’s affecting our reality? Everytime I’m down, you can make it right And that makes you larger than life” *applause* Justin: Go Summer! Kanasuki: Yay! Kida: Woo! Gumdrop: (sitting next to Giselle) And that was the fourth time I saved the universe. But enough about me, let’s talk about me. What do you think about me? Giselle: *sigh* (rolls her eyes) Aisha: Are you sure you have to go Felicia? Felicia: Well, the weather’s turning warmer. And we don’t want to be too much of a burden on you. Aisha: Burden? Who said you were a burden? Justin: Yeah. You girls can stay as long as you like. Felicia: Thank you Artukei, but we know how much you like your privacy. And we already have a home at the station. Summer: Yeah. All our stuff is there. So? (points the mike towards the crowd) Who’s next? Gumdrop: Me! I wanna go next! (runs up and grabs the mike) *ahem* This song comes from the heart of my bottom. Justin: Uh oh. Not the toenail song. Pleeeeease not the toenail song. Gumdrop: (starts singing in a little cutesy voice) “I have a magic toenail I keep it on my foot” Justin: Oh dear god. (burries his face in his hand) Gumdrop: “It’s always there to rescue me When something goes kaput It has the cutest cuticle Free of all disease As toenails go, it’s really quite Ex-tra-or-di-na-ry Thank you, thank you Thank you magic toenail” (bows) *applause* Justin: *groan* Ai ya. later... Felicia: Hahaha! So they put him in a dress?! Aisha: Not just a dress. He had full make-up, a blond pig-tailed wig, and even fake breasts. Summer: Haha! Oh god, that’s too good! Aisha: You wanna know the funniest part about it? He still lost. In the first round! Got his ass handed to him by Reiko! Summer: (rolling) HAHAHA! Justin: Haha! Oh, I love it when you tell that story, babe. Felicia: (whiping her eye) Haha. *sigh* That was a great story Aisha. Felix: Hmm. Hey, you guys wanna hear a really funny joke? Justin: Heh heh. Huh? Felicia: Sure Felix. Go ahead. Justin: 0.0 Um... Summer: Yeah, tell us a wicked funny joke. Justin: Uh... Hey! Who wants to hear the “toenail song” again? Gummy? Gumdrop: (mouth full of oreos) Mmff? Felix: OK, here it goes. Justin: Oh no. Felix: What’s green, and slimy, and crawls up your leg? Summer: What? Justin: Oh god. Felix: A homesick abortion. Summer: ........ Felicia: ........ Felix: Hehe! Pretty funny, huh? Giselle: ........ Aisha: ........ Gumdrop: ..... I don’t get it. Justin: Thank god Kanasuki and Kida already went upstairs. Felicia: uh... well I.... guess it’s.... kinda funny. Felix: (slumps back into the couch) Yeah right. It’s probably the worst joke you’ve ever heard, huh? Aisha: .... No. I’ve heard worse. Like “what do you say to a girl with two black eyes?” All: ........ Aisha: Nothing. She was already told twice. Summer: That’s nothing. I had this guy walk up to me one day. He said, “That blouse is very becoming on you. Course if I were on you, I would be too.” Aisha: Eww! Someone actually said that to you?! Summer: No. *chuckles* Felicia: *chuckles* Justin: .... (shrugs) I once knew somebody who answered their cell like this. (puts his thumb and pinky to his face) “Tom’s Abortion Clinic. You rape’em, we scrape’em. No fetus can beat us.” Felicia: (smiling) Hehe. Oh my gosh, that’s terrible. Justin: Give us another one, Fee. I’m sure you’ve got something worse than that. Felix: .... (smiles) Boy, do I! later... Aisha: Do you really have to go now? Summer: (holding a sleeping Kanasuki) We prefer to travel at night, anyway. Felicia: (hugs Aisha) Goodbye, Aisha. Be sure and visit us. Aisha: Same to you. Don’t be a stranger. Felicia: (hugs Felix) Take care of yourself, Felix. Felix: um... I... eh.... yes’um. Gumdrop: (on Giselle’s shoulder, doing Bogart) You’re part of their world, the thing that keeps them going. If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with them, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tommorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. We’ll always have Paris. Felicia: (hugs Justin) Thank you again, Artukei. I pray your kindness may be greatly rewarded someday. Justin: It already has, onee-sama. Take care of yourself... and your family. Felicia: I will. (kisses his cheek) Thank you all so much. You’re welcome to visit us any time. Goodbye. (leaves) Aisha: Goodbye, Felicia! Giselle: (hugs Justin) Merci beaucoup, Artukei. Justin: Don’t mention it. Giselle: (leaves) Summer: (gives Justin a big kiss on the cheek) Come see us real soon, honey. (leaves) Aisha: (waving) Goodbye Giselle! Goodbye Summer! Come back any time! Justin: (waving as well) Door’s always open!

Episode #143 Chapter 13, part 4 Lady of the Dance --guest room-- Felicia: (leading Justin in a waltz) 1-2-3-1-2-good-1-2-3-1-and-turn. Very good! You’re doing very well, Artukei. Summer: Yeah. Considering it took you a week to stop stepping on Felicia’s feet. Justin: Hey, grant me some grief. I may be a size 12, but my instructor’s a 20. Felicia: *giggle* Why don’t you try leading this time? Justin: Uh... OK. Sure. Felicia: Hit it, Summer. Summer presses a button on a small boom box and it starts playing “Tchaikovski’s Sleeping Beauty Waltz”. Slightly flushed, Justin puts his right hand on Felicia’s side and takes her hand. He starts out awkwardly, moving stifly and looking down. Felicia: Don’t look at your feet. And loosen up more. Don’t worry, you know the steps. Just trust yourself and have fun with it. Justin: um... Right. (starts leading more confidently, but keeps glancing at his feet) Felicia: *giggles* Justin: What’s so funny? Felicia: You are. You look so serious. Loosen up! (tilts his head up) And stop looking down. Justin: I don’t know where to look. Felicia: Look at me, silly boy. Justin: (looks in Felicia’s eyes, blushes a little but keeps dancing) Felicia: You’re still too tense. Try picturing me as Aisha; the girl you’re going to be dancing with on your wedding day. You’re doing this for her, aren’t you? Justin: ... Yeah. (smiles, becomes more relaxed and starts dancing more smoothly and gracefully) Felicia: (smiles) I think he’s finally got it. Summer: Woo! (clapping) Yeah baby! Justin: (finishing up, singing) “... the way you did once upon a dream.” Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Felicia: That was wonderful, Artukei. Remember, be confident, relax, and above all, have fun. Summer: Speaking of fun. (puts a new CD in the boom box and it starts playing N*sync’s “Bye Bye Bye”) How ‘bout a little freestyle? Justin: Yeah! (launches into an improv freestyle routine) Summer: 0.0 .... He’s come a long way, but he’s still got a lot to learn. Felicia: (nods) Mm-hm.

Just wanted to give you guys an update on what's going on. "Reunion" is almost complete and I'll be putting it up very soon. Already, it's the longest consecutive story I've written for the site. Until now, "The Rage Cage" was the longest with 9 (or rather 9 and a half) consecutive chapters. Even though "Strays" had 13 chapters, it doesn't count cuz there was an interlude in between chapters 9 and 10. Well, that's all for now. Ja ne!

My favorite reality show comes back tonight! Amazing Race! Woot! I'm gonna enter that thing someday. Kanarazu. I swear.

And speaking of reality...

A.I.R. Theater “Dancing with the Stars” Tom: Hello! I’m Tom Bergeron and welcome back to “Dancing with the Stars”! Our next couple has been a real fan favorite for the last few weeks. Dancing the tango, here’s Artukei and Felicia! Justin appears on one side of the stage dressed in black pants, a white shirt, and an ornate black and gold vest. Felicia appears on the other side wearing a black dress with roses embossed on the trim and with a rose in her hair. The two meet in the center and dance to the tune of “Sway”. Normally, with a dance as advanced as this, Justin would be as awkward as heck. But this time, he’s actually doing quite well. In a couple minutes, the two finish. *applause* Tom: (clapping) Wonderful! That was absolutely wonderful! Artukei, I am impressed. You seem to get better and better every time you step out onto this dance floor. Justin: Thanks Tom. Tom: Well, let’s hear what the judges think. Randy Jackson: Yeah dawg! That is what I’m talkin’ about! Paula Abdul: Oh, Artukei, you did so well and you two make such a cute couple. Simon Cowell: That was, without a doubt, the worst dancing I have ever seen. Felicia: Hey, wait a minute! You guys aren’t even on this show! Justin: Yeah, well.... the writer thought it would be more interesting if we used the judges from American Idol. Felicia: Then that means their scores don’t count. Now who do we get to judge us? Tom: Bring in the replacement judge! Gumdrop: (hops onto the judges’ panel) You two ROCK! 30 out of 30! Justin and Felicia: YES!! Tom: Next, Inuyasha does the quick-step and Ed Elrick does the cha-cha. It’s all coming up right here on “Dancing with the Stars”.

Drew Lachey, all the way!

Totally Trivial Trivia
and Little Known Facts

Because I just might post a quiz someday.

• Artukei and Ozz both own GBA SP’s. Artukei’s is platinum. Ozz’s is red.

• Artukei’s keyboard has over 3,000 different voices.

• Kida’s favorite shirt is a pink Hello Kitty t-shirt.

• For her first Halloween, Kida dressed as an ecomancer named Venadia. Which is also the name of her character in Everquest.

• Aisha’s favorite Earth foods are eel, grilled salmon, and the occasional cheeseburger.

• Gumdrop is perpetually eight years old.

• The secret dojo was custom installed by Washu.

• Justin has written 15 original songs. 4 of them are credited to Artukei.

• Ozz is 14” tall; 38” if you include the tails.

• He almost never talks about it, but Justin once dated Sailor Jupiter for a few weeks.

• Gumdrop doesn’t have a central nervous system nor does he need to breathe. He doesn’t need to eat or drink either, but that doesn’t stop him.

• Ever since Makoto left, Artukei does almost all of the cooking. Aisha tried once, but, long story short, she’s no longer allowed to make dinner.

• There are over 100 blades and weapons kept in the dojo. 5 of them are Kida’s, 8 of them are Aisha’s, and the rest are Artukei’s.

• On account of that she finds Earth bras too uncomfortable, Aisha rarely wears them.

• Justin has been taught swordsmanship, but he has had no form of martial arts training. He mostly learned from movies and fighting games.

• Kida keeps trying to get her father involved in RPGs, but he refuses due to a traumatizing experience he had playing Super Mario RPG for the SNES several years ago. He got killed by a Goomba.

• The DeLorean is currently a gasoline/electric hybrid. But Artukei and Washu are working on getting a “flex fuel” engine for it that’ll run on E-84 ethanol.

• Since Artukei has known very few women who actually eat burgers, the first time he saw Aisha eat one and love it, it strangely strengthened his affections towards her.

• One of Gumdrop’s favorite forms of entertainment is putting marshmallows in the microwave and seeing how big they can get before they explode.

• Almost half the blades in the dojo are decorative and for display purposes only. And if you handle them, you must be wearing gloves. Cuz Artukei will have a fit if you smudge one of his nice blades.

• Before they met, Artukei had hundreds of Aisha pics on his computer. After she moved in, he deleted almost all of them.

• The Anime Universe does have anime DVDs and manga books, only they’re really obscure titles. Like Cowboy Hip-hop, Breads Basket, Fullmetal Sorcerer, Princess Moon, Dragonsphere, Threegun, and No Need For Tenko.
