A: (polishing interview desk) M: Hey Justin-san! Wha........ are you still cleaning up in here? A: DON’T TOUCH THE CARPET!! M: (steps back) A: I want everything to be perfect for when Aisha gets here. M: You’ve polished that desk SIX TIMES already! A: And before I do it for the SEVENTH time, I have to dust the lights, wash the curtains, shampoo the carpet, re-upholster the chairs........ Makoto-san! Don’t just stand there! Take my suit to the cleaners! M: (sigh) Justin-san! A: Sorry. Please! M: Will you just listen? A: No time. I’ve got appointments to keep. At 2:00 I have to get a haircut, 3:30 I’m due for a teeth cleaning, then I have to go to the plastic surgeon’s office and....... M: (grabs his shoulders) Justin-san, GET A GRIP! A: You think she’d like me better with cat ears? M: (slaps him) A: Arigato. (sits) M: Look. You shouldn’t stress yourself out so much. Calm down. I’m sure everything will be fine. A: I know. It’s just I’m so....... M: Nervous? A: (nods) M: Just be yourself. That’s what’s gotten you this far, right? A: You tell me. I have no idea what you put in those e-mails. M: Would you like to see? A: 0_0 ? That was out of character. No witty retort? No insult? M: Come on, I’ll show you. (in the computer room) M: (sitting at the computer, clicks open file) This is the first e-mail I sent Aisha. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Miss Aisha Clan-clan, My name is Artukei. I am a native of planet Earth, 21 years old, male, and would very much like to meet you. I have heard of your exploits and adventures with the crew of the Outlaw Star. I admire your courage and tenacity and am allured not just by your strength (physical and mental) and free spirit, but also you beauty. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you: your sapphire eyes, your long silvery hair, your attractive physique. I know this may sound a little weird coming from someone you’ve never met, much less heard of. But I would love nothing more than to meet you and share a moment with you in person. Thank you! --Love, --Artukei P.S.: If you would like to know more about me, I have a website at: www.myotaku.com/user/artukei --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M: The rest after that were pretty much the same. A: You wrote this? M: Yeah. I just took some of the stuff you said and....... why are you giving me that look? A: Um.... M: I said you could trust me. A: I........thanks, Makoto-san. M: ^_^ A: ^_^
