Ouch. If they break her open, candy is not what is going to come spilling
out. :)
Mmmm! Prizes and little plastic elephants!

Works for me.
Working without naming things can get old on one really fast.
So, just work up any old random designation, and it'll work.
Bruce, for example. That's a good White ArbyFish name...

Oops. Looks like they did forget something important.
There's always _something_. ^_^

Nephrite should shout 'Fire!' as they do so, thereby ensuring the youmas
shoot themselves in a crossfire.
^_^ But we can't have his IQ shooting up THAT much, can we?

Oops. Good ears on that youma, though.
^_^ If one has enough youma, might as well randomize the
motif.

Heh
Had to work in Paracite somewhere.
He's been debating his contract, too, so we'll have to get the
negotiations done before we get the scripts written out for
the next episodes...

Heh. Hard to believe they've missed her for this long. Even for these two.
But shopping has that effect on people. ^_^

Serena found herself immensely turned on.
Hmmm... No, I don't think I can use that line. ^_^;;;

It does with the lives they lead.
Perhaps it does. ^_^

This question from a girl that has raised the dead. You'd think once you
get
better from that kind of wound, she would stop asking how they got better.
:P
But that hasn't happened yet, so she doesn't know that.
And there's no wound that can't be healed. Just look at 'Tim:
He's just gotten his heart blown out, but I'm sure the good
Doctor will be able to piece him back together.
Unless, of course, he's got some uncurable disease, too,
but nooooooooo, I wouldn't do something like THAT. Naaah.

Jade's dead. Never mess with a bus full of penguins. Take it from me,
you're
never better off for the experience.
Nothing more dangerous than a busload of penguins,
you know. Those that find them seldom live to tell
the tale.

Another extra break
That's funny. It's not on my copy. Maybe something's
going on weird in my AOL mail system?

Heh. Cute.
The bad general's not a complete nitwit. He'd at least think of
THAT one. ^_^

Extra space.
Space, the final frontier...
Hmm, maybe there IS something going on weird with my mailer...

called it. :)
^_^ Sort of an easy thing to do.
> "So tell me, how does betrayal feel?" the girl asked.
Jadeite: Like being stabbed in the back, or being forced to listen to
Minako's drivel for hours.
^_^ Ah, Minako, what a character! Too bad she's not in the main
storyline yet, though I did have that spinoff in the works...
Liked this one a bit better. Moved the Jadite fight along nicely. And
showcases the scouts a bit more. Looks like I caught up with what you
posted
of this, at last. Will keep my eyes open for more.
I'm glad to see that you liked it! I've had the Jadeite plotline
hanging around in the back of my skull for the past couple
years, and it was nice to actually see some of it played out.
I've been a bit busy with school and stuff, so I'll still be a little
slow with the rest of the chapter.
I've almost got enough done for another bite-sized section that
could be sent. It hasn't been thoroughly checked out, and hasn't
gone through any revision yet. It's a little rough, but it's got Terra
in it...
So, I'll give you all an option. We can...
A: Wait until December 31st. We want quality here!!!
or...
B: SEND IT IN!!! We'll give you C&C! That's what the FFML is for!
Private replies only, if you choose to vote, please.
If I don't get any reaction, I'll just stick with the default 'A' option.
It'll get done eventually. ^_^
Thanks for commenting on the chapter so far! It's really helped me along!
It's what convinces me every day to continue. ^_-
