      Miki was bored, bored out of her skull.  She was busily writing an

Andrew: Some days, I wonder if she's got anything in her skull to be bored
out of.

Miki:  YOU MEANIE!!!!!

      Miki tried to think of what else to say.  'The weather is very
beautiful, but my life is so boring.  I wish something exciting would
happen.'  

Andrew: Be careful--

Nanami: --what you wish for.

Bailesu:  You might get a potato instead.

Ami:  Don't mind him.  Midterms.

dressed up."  She turned to Urd.  "You'll help Miki pick something nice,
right?"

      Miki fainted before she could hear any kind of answer.

Andrew: Well! It's not quite a fusion. That would be taking the characters
from one series and putting them into the plot of the other. This is
actually combining both plots. Very interesting.

Miki:  You're not the one who has to live through it!

Bailesu:  This way, Miki gets TWICE as much trouble! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

      Miki fainted, of course.

Andrew: She does that rather easily doesn't she?

Nanami: Hmm...in the original series, she only fainted once that I can
remember of--that anemia incident with Kei.

Miki:  And how many times did I meet a talking cat or a goddess in the
original series?  Not very often, eh?
 

Andrew: Nah. It's been with you all your life. Look at your rather fruity
parents, yes?

Miki:  Hey!  Only I get to say that!

Andrew: Hm. Must say, it looks rather nice.

Nanami: But where'd the golf club come from?

Ami:  Golf was invented in Scotland.
 

      Miki quickly put it on, then curiously opened it, finding a tiny
picture of Meiko being attacked at a jewelry store by a monster inside it.
"What the..."

Andrew: Hmm...being almost totally unfamiliar with specifics--did that
also happen in Sailor Moon?

ribbons and ties that were adorning and controlling it, although being
short, it couldn't go very far upwards.  Her clothing apparently decided
it would join the photons as it dissolved away into the spray of light

[Nanami eyes Andrew carefully. He notices.]

Andrew: Aw, give me a break. The way the characters are drawn in Marmalade
Boy, there's nothing to see. They're all built like sticks....

Miki:  [growls]  HEY!  [threatens Andrew with a fork, in a scene that
looks suspicously like stock footage]

unconscious people.  The air was thick with glowing energy.  TW Moon
looked around and quickly spotted Meiko who was lying with a necklace in
her hands on the floor.  Miki felt a burst of anger running through her.
Whatever this thing was, it had hurt her friend Meiko.  

Andrew: Isn't this usually the response of a guy when he sees his
girlfriend hurt?

Miki:  Are you insinuating something?

Lovely Tennis Warrior Moon!  Stealing energy from innocent shoppers is
EVIL!  I will punish you in the name of the moon!"  She paused, trying to
decide if she had REALLY just said that.

Nanami: You sure did, Miki-chan. [giggle]

Miki:  I just can't get all that posing down.
 

both looked up and saw a cute guy wearing a Zorro mask and a golfing
outfit.  He had a bag of clubs slung over his shoulder, and was carrying a
nine iron.  

Andrew: Wha?

Nanami: Hey, wait, who plays golf in Marmalade Boy?

Bailesu:  That would be telling.
 

BELIEVE my parents are getting divorced and remarrying these people they
just met on a trip, she thought.  On second thought, it was a little too
easy to believe.

Andrew: Well, we've got Urd meddling, too.

Nanami: But it happened originally without her.

Andrew: Hm. True.

Urd:  [pops in] Perhaps I was simply more subtle that time.

Miki: ...

Andrew: I like this. Muchly. It's hilarious, and there's precious little
of Marmalade Boy stuff out there.

Nanami: Hoping for more soon.

Bailesu:  Chapter 2 is under construction!

next day, she tried putting poison in the ogres' food, but everyone just
ended up thinking Princess Tomboy had tried to cook it.
