A Meeting of Cousins
A Tenchi fanfic by June "KaraOhki" Geraci
December 10, 2000
Disclaimer: I'm borrowing RyoOhki. She may be my
cousin, but I didn't
invent her.
@@Insert standard Disclaimer rant. ^_*
I stirred my carrot soup, and peeked into the oven
to see if the carrot cake
was done yet. It was a lovely golden brown, and I
removed it from the pan
and set it aside to cool.
*Where's that confectioner's sugar?* I asked myself,
and started making the
cream cheese frosting. Carrot cake isn't carrot
cake without cream cheese
frosting.
@@AHHHHHHHHHH . . .<gobble, snort, growlf> <wipes
contents of feeding binge
from muzzle> OK, you have succeeded in writing an
opening that has sent me into a sugar-feeding
frenzy. You wicked, wicked person you. Good job.
Then the doorbell rang. My paws were full of sugar,
so I headed for the
sink to wash them but someone started pounding on
the door, and I thought I
heard miyaing. Forgetting about the state of my
paws, I ran to the door and
yanked it open.
There stood my cousin, RyoOhki. Her fur was a
tangled mess, she looked like
she hadn't slept in days, and she was crying
hysterically.
@@Oh, NO. Poor RyoOkhki. :(
OK, enough sympathy. Get back to the carrot cake and
cream cheese.
<SNIP>
"What IS it?" I asked.
"Haven't you read your email?" she countered.
"No time. I've been stuck on one of my own fics."
Before I could say anything more I was dragged to my
computer and plopped
down in front of it. "READ this!"
So I began.
The first poem about cabbits and horses was sort of
cute and the other poems
and haiku that followed were reasonably amusing,
although I did think that
an overabundance of them might annoy other list
members. Then RyoOhki
pointed at one message, and I knew trouble was
coming before I even opened
it. It had a "lemon" tag.
"This isn't about you, is it?"
The only reply I got was tears.
Well, I read it. Then I read the replies. By the
time I was done, my
cousin was calmer, but still quite unhappy.
"You're not thinking straight, are you?"
"What?"
RyoOhki looked so confused that I took pity on her.
"You have the ability
to scare the pants off of these people who are
annoying you so. Just go
'mecha' and chase them around the neighborhood for a
couple of hours."
"Oh miya! I never thought of it!"
"Tell you what. Let's have some of this cake, and
I'll come help."
The cake's gone, people. We're coming. I think
you'd better hide.
@@LOL.
-----
On a more serious note, I think enough is enough,
and as a representative of
the cabbit community, I'd like to see it end.

@@After reading this, I'm sorta sorry I deleted
all the other Cabbit stories w/o reading. (I was
getting close to my
MBOX limit and something had to go)
VERY nice. Short, cute. Well done.
I wish I could do stuff like this.
(The last time I had a character cooking
something for darn sure it wasn't carrot cake. )
I liked this a lot.
Thanks for writing it.
