I'm surprised that's the paragraph that scared you.  I was expecting
more people to be scared off by the singing.  ^_^  

Crossing over isn't going to be hard at all.  There's a truly dark side
to Teddy Ruxpin,

Sorry, I can't resist.

"No, Lina.  Teddy hasn't been posessed by a Mazoku.  He holds those
talents naturally."
Lina Inverse was shocked.  "You mean, Teddy Ruxpin *is* a Mazoku?"
"Yes, and like all others, he feeds off of negative emotions."
"But how?  I mean, he's worse than Amelia..."
"HEY!"
"...and what kind of attack would he have, anyway?  Friendship Flare?
Pansy Slave?  Venus Love-me Chain?"
"Well..."

[meanwhile, in Laputia, a small generic village]

The villagers looked on with some confusion, as the small cute bear was
enthusiastically setting up an odd device, with the arcane word KARAOKE
emblazoned to one side.  After a few moments, the mayor walked up to the
odd creature, and addressed it.  "Excuse me, sir.  Are you some sort of
bard?"

"Well, yes.  Yes I am.  Let me demonstrate."  Music brgan to pour forth
from boxlike contraptions, as lights flared.  The bear picked up a stick
with a wire (named Mike), and began his song.

"SHAO BAI LONG..."

Pain and fear *are* negative emotions, after all.

end.



Ryouga-san?  Oyaji-san?  Mallet-san?  Please put down those flamethrowers.
Someone could get hurt!

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
