And moving on to this:

"What is it, child?" Jenova asked in a soft, penetrating,
alien voice. Her speech came from perfect lips from a perfect face,
which itself was attached to a vaguely human, female body in front of
the huge, bulbous sac that Terra never had the heart to ask about.
Ah. Like my grandmother then. :)
Still, she made a mental note never to introduce Serena or
Raye to her beloved grandma.
"N-no," Terra replied cautiously as she tried to shake off the
creepy, icky feeling welling up inside of her, "my
her. "My (I think)
"Suit yourself," Jenova replied in a somewhat displeased voice,
handing back the magical transformation item in question. She turned
toward Sephiroth. "The next thing you know, she'll be dating boys
with spiky blond hair with glowing eyes that like to carry large
swords around."
Terra thought about that. "That's a very specific description,"
she noted. "What made you think of that?"
Heh. Cute observation.
"I am truly sorry as well, dear," Jenova replied. Her strange
body tensed and a smile formed on her etherially beautiful lips.
"But before I go, how about a kiss for your dear old granny?"
Right. No telling what disease she'll get from that.
<What's that?>
<I don't know!>
He didn't frequent bars, since his mentally-projected body
had zero chemical tolerance and the brawls were far too boring.
Besides, they were too crowded. Everywhere was too crowded. In
fact, so was his head...
More like 'especially in his head' :)
*Sigh* <Aaah, memories!>
<You know, my very presence here disrupts radio broadcasts for
the entire city...>
<So? Who's listening to the radio at this hour?>
<People in cars...>
<We interrupt TV broadcasts, too.>
Heh
"Subject: Fashion-based Sailor Senshi. Electrical attacks to
stun, followed by eight sword-slashes to the midsection and finish
off with a grenade or concussive missile. Energy disruption should
speed up the process. Total time, seven seconds."
<Any news on Sailor Stylin'?>
<Not unless she's that weird Lynne-kid that keeps sending
me those illustrated letters and signing them with that name.>
Heh
*BEEP!* The computer beeped mockingly.
ASK frowned, suddenly placing his full attention on the small
screen. "What? Weapons of Mass Destruction?"
*BEEEEEP!*
"Full-blown Overpowering?
*BEEP!*
Heh. Not having good luck guessing I see.
"Father," Terra said, "Daddy. I can't promise that. I know I
can be a big help--I can feel it!" She held a hand to her heart.
"I _can_ be strong enough to help them out, maybe even stronger
than Serena's become!"
Prolly.
However, she would be hard-pressed to explain how she, in the
tiny, cagelike space of her living room, managed to knock her father
down, wrench the sword from his unyielding fingers, and point it at
his neck.
She has the ability to draw upon god like powers? :)
They opened the door, and on the other side fluttered a small,
green and white patterned seal. "G'day," it said, presenting a large
tray of tiny, squeaking things. It saluted and added, "Door ta door
ArbyFish salesman!"
Oh dear. Should have seen that one coming.
Terra tilted her head and sent a strong, closed-eyed smile
directly at Michiru. She wrongly decided that a direct, penetrating
question would work best to help break the ice. "You look like you're
a nice and mature sort of girl. What kind of boys do you like
dating?"
Heh
"How did you fend off the thing that was in your mind?"
"I drew upon my inner cuteness or something weird like that.
I think. Actually, my mind's still sort of a blur."
Heh. Nice way to put it.
"Oh, come on," Serenity urged brightly and mischievously,
"you'll look good in a sailor suit! We'll call you Sailor Chibi-Chibi
Jadeite!"
Now that's evil. On the bright side, he's so weak ASK probably won't
consider him worth killing.
"Wait!" Jadeite leaned toward her urgently, taking the hint that
the dream would shortly end. "Which one? Which one should I keep an
eye on? And how do I use the bracelet?!"
"You'll figure it out."
The brightness went the other direction, fading into shadow.
"How can I know that?!" Jadeite called into the nothingness.
"Because if you do not, _you_ will shortly perish."
"WHAT?!"
Well, that does make a certain amount of sense.
Jadeite frowned. "Er, excuse me, could you remind me who you
are...?"
Hmm. Should be fun when we find out.
Not as much happened in this one. More like a filler thing as we get closer
to the end of the chapter. Can't wait for more.
