THE FLASH POINT

(The camera comes apon a base in a mountain range that looks a little 
like the Turbo Builder from Koukso Sentai TurboRanger [absolutly NO 
relation to PR: Turbo, mind you].  Okay, it looks a LOT like the 
Turbo Builder.  Okay, okay, it IS the Turbo Builder!  Deal with it.)
(Anyway, inside the Turbo Builder is a theater dedicated to MSTing 
fan fiction and in this theater are Sakura, Trident, Zero, J.Bison 
and our host, Flashman.)
Flashman: Good day to you all.  Today, for some bizare reason, our 
boss has decided to torture us...
Voice: I am NOT torturing you!  If I wanted to do that, I'd give you 
an Oscar... and I DON'T mean an Academy Award, to borrow a phrase.
(Everyone shudders.)
Sakura: Todays MST is Book One of Turn the Page by Christopher "God 
Boy" Angel.
Zero: Due to memory constraints on our Internet provider however, 
we're sending this out in three parts.
Trident: Let us begin.

Part 1

***

When describing Usagi Tsukino, otherwise known as Sailor Moon, 
several words came to her friends' and loved ones' minds.  Crybaby 
was one of those words.  Weak, lazy, and stupid were often used as 
well.  Of course, those were

[F/S/T: HEY!
Flashman: I can guess which filthy mouth the majority of THOSE words 
came from.
(A red shield comes out of no where and smacks Flashman.)
Trident:(Sighs) He forgot who we are dealing with.]

usually followed by words such as sweet, compassionate, loving, and 
(sometimes) strong-willed.  One word that was never used, mind you, 
was regal.

It was this, more than anything else, that made it easy for Sailor 
Moon's daughter to treat her as a completely different person than 
Neo-Queen Serenity was.  The latter was the absolute image of a queen;
 in every step she took, every move of her hands, and every word she 
spoke.  The former was nothing more than a rather silly teenaged girl 
who, despite the fact she fought minions of evil on a regular basis 
always seemed to be exactly the same person.

[Flashman:(Grumbled) It also doesn't hurt that the spore's a spoiled 
BRAT.
Zero:(Whispered to the others) You hold him down, I'll get the prozac.
]

The other Inner Senshi often wondered what happened to Usagi to turn 
her from the flighty girl she was into the queen she became.  If they 
had known the truth, they probably would have been shocked.  What 
made Usagi finally accept her future was a fear so great, so 
debilitating, that Mamoru sometimes spent hours trying to help Usagi 
deal with it.

Usagi had seen her friends, or even people who weren't her friends, 
die for her sake once, and then almost die many times since.  She was 
deathly afraid that her friends would die, and she wouldn't be able 
to bring them back.  The scenario had played itself out so many times 
before - they would defeat the lesser minions of an enemy, and then 
when the final confrontation was at hand, her friends would almost 
die, just to give Princess Serenity her chance to defeat their 
enemies.  Not Usagi.  Not Sailor Moon.  Princess Serenity.

Their last great battle against Pharaoh 90 had finally convinced 
Usagi that it would just be easier to be Serenity all the time, so 
she could protect the friends who had protected her for so long - so 
they wouldn't have to risk their lives so much to save her.

They had scared their little princess to death, and were going to get 
their reward for what they had wrought.

[Flashman: Ya know, this makes sense.
Sakura:(Nods) Good job God-Boy.]

On the top of a nearby building, Tuxedo Kamen watched the argument 
escalate, and with it, Sailor Moon's anger.  "Oh boy, are they in 
trouble."

"Very true," Pluto agreed beside him.  Tuxedo Kamen started a little 
in shock, and then shook his head ruefully.

[(Everyone jumps at Plutos sudden appearence.)
Bison: What's even more disconcerting is that she's not the only one 
in her family that...
Flashman:(Whacks Bison) Quiet!  That's not out yet!]

Uranus almost growled in anger.  "Why you little..." She trailed off 
as Neptune placed her hand on Uranus' shoulder.

[Sakura: Does anyone else get the image of Uranus doing a Homer 
Simpson style choke on Venus after reading that?
(The others give her a O_o look.)
Sakura: Guess not.]

"That is ENOUGH!"  The arguing Senshi turned in shock to see Sailor 
Moon's flushed angry face.  "I am SICK and TIRED of you two going on 
about how the great and mighty Outer Senshi must handle everything 
alone!"  She walked forward, interposing herself between the Inners 
and the Outers, and looked Uranus in the eyes.  She put her hand to 
her chest and fairly ripped her broach away.  "Do you know what this 
is?  Do you know what it means?" she demanded, shoving the broach 
into Uranus' face.

[Bison: It means we now know that your bra has a crescent moon on 
each....
(Trident delivers a Plazma Bolt, Zero does a Kuuenbu, Sakura does a 
Raging Demon and Flashman does a Crown Final Crash.)
Bison:(What's left of him) I... was... gonna... say... shoulder strap.
]

"How are you going to make us?" Uranus questioned with a bit of a 
sneer, which was wiped away as the Ginzuishou flared with light and 
Sailor Moon was transformed into Princess Serenity.

"A wielder of the Ginzuishou gave you your powers, Sailor Uranus," 
she said in that regal voice.  "A wielder of the Ginzuishou can take 
them away."

Uranus gaped at the glowing princess in shock.  "You...you CAN'T!"

Just as suddenly as she had transformed into Serenity, she 
transformed back into Sailor Moon.  She staggered a bit, drained, but 
then grinned evilly at Uranus as her anger once again sent adrenaline 
running through her system.  "Try me."  She gasped and whirled to 
Saturn.  "And you!  Don't you EVER become Sailor Saturn without me 
around!"

[Flashman:(Waving little blue flags with gold crescent moons on them) 
YEAY USAGI-SAMA!!!
Trident:(Whacks him) Please stop.  That... unnerves me.]

grimaced.  *Kaneda was really a bad influence on me, I have a sudden 
urge to get some popcorn.  This is far too much fun to watch.*  He 
looked around

[All: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]

It was a girl in her mid-late teens, with shoulder-length pink hair 
wearing a red summer dress.  Her face was one he remembered well - it 
was the same face that Black Lady had.  Three young men and another 
girl accompanied her.  *Chibi-Usa?!*

[Bison: She's not so "Chibi" anymore.
(Everyone else readies their weapons.)
Bison:(Pales) I wasn't gonna say anything bad... honest.
Zero: Be sure to KEEP it that way.]

"Actually, it's OUR job," the Senshi whirled to see the teenaged girl 
standing behind them with a smug grin on her face.  A teenaged girl 
with a most familiar face, and pink hair a color they had only seen 
on one other person...

"CHIBI-USA-CHAN?!" the Inner Senshi and Saturn chorused.  Usagi 
grinned and nodded, then scowled and whirled on her companions, who 
were now starting to laugh.

"Ch-ch-chibi," a handsome young man with spiky blue hair stammered 
though his laughter.  He doubled over and began to hold his stomach 
as the laughs wracked his body.  Beside him, a slender girl with a 
mane of spiky white hair giggled helplessly.

"Chibi-Usa-chan," the shortest of the newcomers snickered.  His body 
shuddered with suppressed laugher, and the hair of his large red 
mohawk shook in resonance. "I'll have to remember that one."

The princess looked at her laughing friends with a dismayed look, 
then turned hopefully on the last one, a noble-looking man with a 
purple ponytail.  "You understand, don't you Yosho-kun?" she asked in 
a plaintive sort of voice.  "It wasn't my idea, they had to call me 
something..." she trailed of the young man walked up and put his 
hands on her shoulders, giving her a kind smile.

"I understand, and I would never make fun of you for it," he said 
seriously, then paused as a twinkle lit in his eye.  "Chibi-Usa-chan.
"  That was too much for his companions who completely lost all 
control over their laughter.

[(The reviewers join the laughter.)
Sakura:(Gasping between laughs) P-po...HAHAHA...poor Ch-Chi...
HAHAHAHAHA!
(She gives up.)]

"Hai," she said with a sigh, and taking his cue, Yosho stepped 
forward and bowed deeply.  The mohawked man swept a quick bow, and 
the third man merely nodded.  "Lord Yosho, Lord Kesshu, and Lord 
Akuma of Jurai."  The other girl stepped forward and curtsied quickly.
  "Princess Toraneko of Jurai."

"We are honored, Serenity-ouhi," Toraneko said politely.

Sailor Mars watched the proceedings with suspicion.  As the girl made 
her greeting, she gasped upon noticing the girl's cat eyes.  
"Monster!" she yelled for the other's benefit.  "BURNING..."

[Flashman:(Deadpan) As friendly as always I see.
(The shield makes another appearence and smacks him again.)
Flashman:(Dazed) Look at all the little Tackle Boys.
Sakura: Think he'll ever learn?
Zero/Bison: NOT BLOODY LIKELY!]

But the most dramatic reaction came from Small Lady, who threw 
herself at Sailor Mars and knocked her hands down.  "NO!  She's my 
friend!"

"She's not human," Mars growled.

"None of them are," Sailor Mercury said, looking up from her computer.


"Not quite true," Kesshu corrected as he dumped his weapon in another 
hole.  "Us guys are three-eighths human."  Kesshu got a thoughtful 
look on his face and began ticking items off on his fingers.  "Let's 
see, I'm also a half hyper-dimensional entity and an eighth Juraian.
"

Akuma looked at his brother with some surprise.  "You're quite the 
mongrel, aren't you?"

[All:<Snicker>]

"So says the son of a genetically engineered woman," Kesshu retorted.


"And what's wrong with that?" Toraneko demanded.  "Otouchan's the 
same, you know!"

"No offense, Tora-hime," Kesshu answered quickly.  The girl in 
question sniffed and turned her head away.

Yosho rolled his eyes and banished his blade and force-shield.  His 
brothers followed suit.  "No, Mars-sama, we are not completely human. 
 That doesn't mean we are a threat to you or others."  He frowned 
slightly.  "Usagi-hime, where is your father?  We really should 
report in to him."

"My father?" the girl wondered, and then her eyes widened.  "Oh no, 
Yosho-kun.  He's not Endymion YET."

Tuxedo Kamen leapt from the roof and landed beside Sailor Moon.  "You 
wish to speak with me?"  Yosho examined him with a suspicious look, 
and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Endymion-ou," he said respectfully, and bowed deeply.  Behind him, 
Kesshu followed suit.  Akuma sketched a quick mockery of a bow while 
Toraneko curtsied.  "You honor us with your presence."

"I'd love to banter pleasantries," Mars interrupted, "but what are 
you doing here, Chibi-Usa?"  As the princess winced, Mars added 
defensively, "well we have to call you SOMETHING."

"Call her Usako," Akuma called in.  He looked curiously at the now-
blushing Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon, and princess.  "What did I say?" 
he asked as the other Inner Senshi giggled.

[All: 
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!]

It was Akuma's turn to look sheepish as he placed a hand behind his 
head in embarrassment.  "I've been calling her that in my head for 
months," he admitted, and then quickly regained his composure as 
Yosho opened his mouth to begin another lecture.  "Stuff it, Yosho."

Kesshu frowned and summoned his hyperspatial computer.  "Uh guys?"

"I think it's sweet," Sailor Venus chimed in from the group of Senshi.


[Bison: She would.
Zero:(Draws Z-Saber) And what's wrong with that?]

"We're straying off the point," Mars reminded them.  "Usako," she 
couldn't resist a slight smirk at the name.  "Why are you here in 
this time?  And why did you bring friends?  To train?"

"They're here to aid us with the creature you just fought," Sailor 
Pluto said, and several of the Senshi started at her sudden 
appearance.  "Its presence threatens the future they have come from." 
 She paused to frown at Sailor Uranus.  "You really should have known 
better than that, Uranus," she scolded.

"HEY!  Is anyone gonna-"

"What do you want, Kesshu?" Pluto asked peevishly.

Kesshu banished his computer and calmly pointed into the sky.  "I 
just thought everyone would like to know it's on its way back."  All 
eyes went to where he pointed, where a small dot could be seen above 
the horizon, growing at an exponential rate.

"Right," Akuma said in a businesslike tone.  "Toraneko, go ship, now.
"  The cabbit-girl started and made to protest, but he overrode her.  
"Don't argue.  Do.  NOW!"

Toraneko threw back her head and a sound - part scream, part cry, 
part roar, and totally inhuman - tore from her throat.  She began to 
float off from the ground, and her body turned angular and crystal-
like, and her legs and arms moved to form a four-pointed star, the 
tips forming a tetrahedron with three of the points in the sky.  Her 
body seemed to be iridescent with the colors of the rainbow.

[All: Ooooooooooooooo.
Flashman: I've only seen that happen once in the Anime, so it's still 
pretty neat to me.]

Akuma turned to the Senshi.  "They get on, and you take them out of 
here."

"WHAT?!" Jupiter screeched.  "We're not running from some overgrown 
lizard!"

[Flashman:(Snickers) Figures SHE would say that.
Sakura: Well, she IS the tough one.
Trident: That is not what he meant.
S/Z/B: Huh?
Trident: It was before your time, I will explain later.]

"You are going to get on Toraneko and get out of here!" Akuma roared. 
 "I'm not about to allow you to risk Usako's future on your bravado." 
 He pointed to the starship.  "Senshi of Silence or not, Ranma's girl 
or not," he

[Flashman: THAT comment's gonna bring up some questions later.]

"Why me?"  Yosho asked the heavens, then paused.  "Don't answer that. 
Ladies, we're trying to protect our future.  That means we have to 
keep ALL of you safe, not just Usako-hime's mother and father.  Some 
of you have children and/or husbands in the future," he explained, 
then paused and glanced over at Sailor Uranus. "Or a wife."  He 
yelped as Pluto walloped him with her staff, while Uranus looked VERY 
confused.

"Stop revealing things," she chided.

[Sakura:(Looks up) Why don't YOU ever listen to that advice?
Voice:(Whimpered) I TRY not to.  I can't help it sometimes.]

Pluto smiled enigmatically and led him over to Usako, who was looking 
with distaste at the broach in her hand.  "I don't think you'll need 
that anymore, Small Lady," she said, holding out another broach.  She 
pressed a button on the side, and it swung open, revealing a large 
crystal surrounded by ten smaller ones.  "It is about time Sailor 
Chibi-Moon was retired."

[Flashman:(Banging a beer bottle on a table) Hear hear!]

"Chibi-Moon?" Yosho asked with a chuckle, then he looked a bit 
closely at the locket, and he gasped.  "The Ginzuishou!"

Usako hesitantly took the new broach from Pluto, and gave her the 
older one.  She smiled as words formed in her head, and she raised 
the locket high.  "Moon Eternal Power, MAKE UP!"

Brilliant light exploded from the Ginzuishou, and pink and white 
ribbons wrapped around Usako's body as her clothes were banished.  
The ribbons tighten around her form, and began to melt together, 
becoming her uniform.  First knee-high boots appeared around her feet,
 their color a red that matched Usako's eyes.  Next, long red gloves 
appeared around her hands and forearms, ending in a white bracelet 
that wrapped just below her elbow.  A white fuku with a black collar 
and a pink skirt finally appeared around her torso, and the broach 
settled high on her chest in the midst of a small bow that resembled 
wings.  Finally, as the light around Usako began to fade, two great 
white wings like those of an angel burst from her back and beat the 
air once, and feathers swirled in the air.

The three brothers watched the transformation in a mixture of 
amazement, joy and embarrassment.  Wordlessly, Yosho reached his hand 
up first to one ear, then the other, and removed his earrings.  Akuma 
pulled a ring off of his right pinky.  The two men exchanged a glance,
 and handed the items into Kesshu's waiting hand.

"How did you know pink was her natural hair color anyway?" Akuma 
asked him in a whisper.

[Bison: And you people say I'M a pervert?!
F/Z/S/T:(Weapons drawn) Yes.]

"Usako?" Akuma called from behind her.

The lone Senshi turned and glared at the man.  "It's Sailor Moon, 
Akuma-kun."

"Whatever," Akuma said dismissively as Moon and Yosho joined him and 
Kesshu.  "Kesshu, your responsibility is data-gathering.  Get as much 
info on this thing as possible.  Yosho, protect Usa-er...Sailor Moon 
at all costs."  Yosho and Kesshu nodded, and Yosho transformed into 
his Juraian battle gear while Kesshu summoned up his computer and 
another crossbow.

Sailor Moon looked worried. "What are you going to do, Akuma-kun?"

Akuma grinned and clenched his fist, and blue light exploded from the 
two crystals in his wrists, embossing his black skinsuit with dark 
blue flames.  He formed an energy sword and jumped a little, floating 
a few feet off the ground.  "Someone has to draw it away from your 
parents so that we can fight it."  As he flew off towards the dragon, 
his final words floated down to her.  "And that's me!"

***

High in the air, a great green dragon with a long, sinuous body flew 
through the air.  Its huge wings, with a span that seemed to fill the 
sky, barely moved as the creature soared.  Suddenly it backstroked 
and slowed down; bringing up its long neck in a curled shape that 
might remind an observer of a question mark.

[Flashman: Good description.
Sakura: Just one question, is this a Chinese Dragon or a Europian one?
]

Either its data was wrong, or someone was trying to interfere.

Further consideration was halted as a dark flash came up from the 
ground below, passing before the dragon and leaving a stinging pain 
across its face.  It roared in pain and tried to get a bearing on the 
attacker, but the insect had already flitted away.  The dragon shook 
its head and began to chase after the prey.

"Oh, no you don't," Akuma said from below the dragon, and transformed 
his sword back into an energy sphere.  He began firing them at the 
dragon's belly, trying to make it focus on him.  He frowned as he 
realized the dragon was ignoring him.  "Time to get serious," he 
muttered, and began increasing the size and power of the blasts he 
was throwing.

He sent another volley of spheres at the monster, and was gratified 
to see the dragon roar in pain and turn its angry gaze on him.  
"That's right, look at me, not them.  I'm your problem."

He never saw the dragon's tail whip around and slam into him, sending 
him flying at hypersonic speeds to the Earth below.

[Sakura: He's not too good at this, is he?
(Zero and Flashman shake their heads.)
Trident:(Sighs) They will let ANYONE in these days.]

"Kami-sama," Jupiter swore as Akuma flew through the air.  "That's 
amazing!"

"I'll tell him you said that, Lady Makoto," Toraneko said, her 
disembodied voice echoing through the room.  Jupiter jumped at that, 
and looked nervously around.

Mercury, sensing her friend's distress, spoke up.  "Toraneko-hime, is 
there some way you could give us an image to talk to?  Just having a 
voice to interact with is disconcerting."
A giggle echoed through the ship.  "You ARE looking at me, Lady Ami," 
came

[Trident: You may want to add a return.]

"Akuma!" Sailor Moon cried, and beat her wings powerfully, hoping to 
catch him.  She was surprised to find Kesshu's hand gripping her arm 
almost painfully as he typed into his terminal.

"Let me handle this, Sailor Moon," he said.  "You try to deal with 
that dragon."  He frowned a moment, then handed his energy crossbow 
to Yosho.  "Here, this fires a net.  You'll be able to use it better 
than me."  With that, he released Sailor Moon and used both hands on 
the terminal, his hands almost blurring as he typed.

"MOON ARROW STRIKE!"  Sailor Moon cried, and once again beat her 
wings powerfully.  This time, as they snapped forward, hundreds of 
small arrow-like projectiles streaked from them towards the dragon 
that flew overhead.  As the attack met the dragon, it roared in pain 
and frustration and let out a burst of emerald fire at its attacker.

[Flashman: I see Ch... "Usako" has been taking lesons from Archangel.
]

"Nice move, Yosho," Kesshu said absently as he worked on his computer.
  "Come on, come on...yatta!"  Underneath the falling Akuma, a 
hyperspatial hole suddenly opened, and the young man fell into it, 
only to be spit out of another hole, this time going back up.

[(Everyones heads follow Akuma as he goes up.)]

"One second...one second," Kesshu delayed as he intently watched the 
data scroll across his visor.  "Three...two...one...NOW!"  High above,
 the unconscious Akuma had nearly reached the peak of his upward 
journey when another hole opened in the sky above him, which he flew 
into moments before he came to a standstill.  The hole closed, and 
another opened at Sailor Moon's feet, dumping him out.  "Fastest 
portals in the quadrant, thank you very much," Kesshu said smugly, 
blowing on his fingers.

[(Everyone claps.)
Zero: Impressive.]

"I wonder if I can do that too," Sailor Moon hummed to herself, and 
then looked deeply into the crystal.  "Those wings are so beautiful." 
 Suddenly, as if sensing her desires, the Ginzuishou burst into 
brilliant light.  Sailor Moon shrieked as the light bathed her and 
the other Senshi.

Everyone whirled to stared at Sailor Moon, and then gasped as they 
were bathed in the warm glow coming from the crystal, blinding them.  
Suddenly, wings burst from Sailor Moon's back, then Sailor Mars', and 
soon the all of the Senshi had wings like princess below.  The air of 
the ship was filled with swirling feathers.

[Trident: I think you mean, "Like the princess below."]

They were all stark naked.

[Flashman:(Nosebleed) Usagi-sama.... Mako-chan
Zero:(Sighs blissfuly) Mi-chan....
Bison:(Drooling) Naked... female... flesh.]

"Well," she sheepishly tried to explain, "I saw the wings she had and 
I thought we'd look so pretty if we had them too..." she trailed off 
and looked around.  "I didn't expect this, though."

[Bison: Not that it's a BAD thi...
(Sakura Sho-O-Kens him.)]

Uranus snorted.  "Nothing's impossible where Usagi's concerned."  She 
gave the other girls appraising looks.  "I think I like the new 
uniform, though," she said, then grunted as Neptune elbowed her.

[Bison:(Quickly getting up) Me too!
Flashman:(Nodding) Yeah yeah yeah!
(Trident watches in confusion as Sakura procedes to beat the tar out 
of them.)]

"Mamo-chan," Sailor Moon said, sidling up the man.  "What do you 
think?"

Tuxedo Kamen buried his face in his hands and groaned.  "Sailor Moon,
" he complained, "PLEASE change them back."  He turned and grabbed 
her by the shoulders, forcing himself not to look down at her nudity. 
 "We're married, remember?"

Sailor Moon giggled.  "But Mamo-chan," she whispered, "this would be 
such fun in bed..."

[T/B/S/Z:<Blink, blink>
Flashman:(Snorts) Been done.
Sakura: YOU read Lemons?
Flashman: Sometimes.  With BOTH hands on the key board mind you.]

Sailor Moon threw her wings wide, and a brilliant silver glow burst 
from the Ginzuishou on her chest and bathed the dragon in its light.  
She took a deep breath, and called out the words that summoned the 
attack's full power.  "MOON PRINCESS TEMPORAL HALATION!" The 
Ginzuishou pulsed repeatedly, and the dragon slowly faded out of 
existence with each pulse, its furious roars fading as it did so.

"Well, that was...anticlimactic," Yosho said, and then turned to his 
brother.  "Akuma!  You lazy good-for-nothing, get up!"  He punctuated 
his final words with a light lick to Akuma's ribs, who sat up, yawned,
 and looked around.

[All: .....
Sakura: EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!
Trident: I pray you meant "kick to Akuma's ribs."]

Yosho snorted in derision.  "You were almost a grease spot.  If it 
wasn't for Kesshu's quick work, we'd be picking you up with a scraper.
"

"I'm telling you, I was fine!" Akuma insisted.  "I can more than take 
a little fall."

"A LITTLE FALL?" Yosho yelled incredulously.  "You were breaking the 
sound barrier!"

"So? A REAL man can take something like that!"

[F/Z/B:<Tim Allen Grunt>]

Kesshu sighed, and banished his computer.  "Guys, this really isn't 
the time for this..."

"Shut up, Kesshu!" the two men shouted, and went back to their 
arguing.  Kesshu scowled and pushed back his sleeves, about to re-
summon his terminal when Sailor Moon placed her hand on his arm and 
shook her head.

"Don't," she said.  "It'll keep them out of trouble until Sailor 
Pluto arrives to take us to the next time period."

"That's just it," Kesshu said.  "She won't.  Tiamat is still in this 
period."

"Then the dragon...?"

"I don't know," he admitted.  "It has the signature that Pluto told 
me to look for, but I'm still detecting it in this time, and the 
timestream is still in flux.  That means it's not over yet."

***

Toraneko took herself down to the surface of the planet and allowed 
the de-transformed Senshi to depart from her body before morphing 
back into her teenaged self.  They watched with no little amazement 
as Akuma and Yosho argued.

Eternal Sailor Moon stared at them.  "Why are you..."

"Not in our Senshi forms?" Rei completed with a snort.  "Ask your 
mother."

"I'd...I'd rather not talk about it, Chibi-Usa-er...Usako-chan," 
Usagi said, blushing.

[All:<Snicker>]

"What started them this time?" Toraneko asked the third brother.

Kesshu shrugged.  "What else?  Akuma's machismo."  He turned to Usako.
  "Usako-hime, shouldn't we clear out of this area?  I expect it 
won't be long before the police arrive."  He winced as a roar of 
outrage and pain came from Akuma.

"How do you plan on stopping those two?" Minako demanded.

Usako and Toraneko grinned.  "Oh, that's easy," the cabbit-girl said. 
 "Ready Usako-chan?  Three...two...one..."

The saccharine call rang out.  "Oh boys?"

[Flashman:(Shudders) And on THAT note...
Trident: We will return shortly.]
