(Smash Mouth, "Then the morning comes", Astro Lounge CD)

      [Usagi Tsukino wakes up in bed, thanks to her alarm clock.]

      Paint the town/take a bow/thank anybody/you're gonna do it again

      [She gets up, dresses, and heads out the door.]

      You are the few/the proud/you are the antibody,/mind, soul and Zen

      [She begins walking down the beach when the rest of the people from ADT are relaxing and having fun.  Suddenly, she spots Mamoru taking a shower, his muscles rippling like a Fabio clone.]

      And the world's a stage/and the world's a faze/and the end is near

      [She begins sliding towards in that kooky dream slide.]

      So push rewind/just in time/thank anybody/you're gonna do it again

      [She begins doing a very naughty Madonna impression.]

      It's just the way that you walk/it's just the way that you talk/like it ain't no thing/
and every single day is just a fling

      [Then, everyone save Usagi begins laughing.  Usagi looks down to see a dog "relieving" itself on her leg.]

      Then the morning comes.

      [Suddenly, Kentaro wakes up, thanks to his alarm clock, and shakes his head.  He gets dressed and heads outside.]

      Take your knocks/shake them off/duck everybody/you're gonna take them again

      [He begins looking for Ranka, feeling she's in danger, so he gets on his Harley Davidson motorcycle and begins cruising around.]

      You are your for/your friend/you are the paparazzi/you are the tragedian

      [He zooms near A-kun and ????? who are also on bikes.  They fall behind him slightly, then take up wing-like positions.  The trio crank up their bikes and ride on.]

      And the world's a craze/and the world's a faze/and the end is near

      [Suddenly, they're all in front of a movie premiere-esque gathering. The people of ADT act as fans as Kentaro begins his walk down the aisle.]

      So push rewind just in time/thank anybody/you're gonna do it again.

      [Suddenly, Kentaro sees Ranka and begins sliding towards her in that kooky dream way of sliding.]

      It's just the way that you walk/it's just the way that you talk/like it ain't no thing/
and every single day is just a fling

      [Then, everyone save Kentaro begins laughing.  Kentaro looks down to see that his feet are somehow stuck to the ground by bubblegum.]

      Then the morning comes.

      [Juri Arisugawa bursts awake, thanks to her alarm clock, looks around and sighs in relief.  She gets up and dresses before stepping into her bathroom which changes into a cool lounge.]

      And when it comes/it moves so slow/kind of like it's saying "I told you so"/looking back before she goes/tomorrow's gonna hurt

      [Juri navigates her way through the lounge, waving to various ADT characters, including Skyler, who seems to be on a date with Linna Yamazaki.]

      And the world's a craze/and the world's a faze/and the end is near

      [Suddenly, Juri sees ????? behind the bar and begins sliding towards her in that kooky dream way of sliding that's been appearing a lot.]

      So push rewind just in time/thank anybody

      It's just the way that you walk/it's just the way that you talk/like it ain't no thing/
and every single day is just a fling

      [Everyone starts laughing except ????? and Juri.  Juri looks down to see that she's wearing red pajamas with white polka dots.  ????? leaps over the counter to reveal that she's wearing similiar apparel.]

      Then the morning comes.

      [Juri opens her eyes to see ????? in bed next to her.  She grabs her alarm clock and throws it out the nearest window before cuddling up to ?????.]

===============================================================================================

      It was either that or Smash Mouth's "Defeat You" and we couldn't come up with any ideas for that one.  So, we ripped off Smash Mouth's music video for this, but gave it an twist by changing the characters.
      Sorry about the lame ending to the tournament, but hey, we're unpredictable.  Besides, we've already had two huge battles (one to save Ranka, Dewin Duvae, Daniel Duvae, Chibi-Usa, Hotaru, and A-kun's real heart crystal.  The other was to defeat the Dark Lord.).  Getting an insanely large battle together for the end was going to be impossible.
      Additional apologies go to those who wanted us to toss in an assault on another character.  We would've done it, except for the fact that we wanted to get this @%@@$# thing over with.  There's always next time, though.

A-kun: NEXT TIME!?

C-chan: Sure.  Don't worry, we won't monopolize all your time away _this_ time.

      [A-kun goes Super-Human as C-chan runs for the hills.]

      Extra special thanks go out to: Scott Jamison, Thor Odinson, Kahlil Noriega, Bombadil Goh, David "Desaix" Tatum, Sam Vilsmeier, and all the other people who tossed in oddities to give us space to play with.  After all, a straight-up tournament is no fun whatsoever!  ~_^ ;^_^;

C-chan: And if you're still wondering, ????? got married when we were doing the Qualifiers to the Almost Finals, so we had to get together to attend to the small wedding (hey, come on, we're college students, we have no money for a big wedding!), which is partially why this took so damn long to get that thing done.  And the fact that A-kun took off for a while early in the Tournament and we forgot his Hotmail password didn't help.

A-kun: THAT'S why you didn't send anything out?   Here I thought you two were just being sentimental or lazy.

      A-kun, FINALLY getting a day off of work
      C-chan, FINALLY getting this tournament done
