Meanwhile, by the wall in Tokyo....


Haruka:     This is no good.

Michiru:    What is?

Haruka:     They've been gone for too long.

Michiru:    Who?  Those inner plebs?

Haruka:     Yes, those inner plebs.

Michiru:    Are you REALLY concerned about the fate of a pair like
            them?

Haruka:     Not really.  It's just that we've been standing by this
            wall for a while, now.

Michiru:    Yes, my hair is a mess.

Haruka:     I haven't had a bath in days.

Michiru:    Neither have I.  My complexion is going to suffer.

Haruka:     I've missed a whole batch of appointments.

Michiru:    This can't continue.  We're going to have to find them.

Haruka:     Yes, put them back by this wall, where they belong.

Michiru:    Indeed.

Haruka:     We'll work out what the hell is going on, here!

Michiru:    Actually, we KNOW what is going on around here.  We just
            don't want anyone else finding out.

Haruka:     Shhh....  You might give everything away.

Michiru:    Oops, sorry.


Meanwhile, in Hades, Usagi and Umi are still lying on the ground, 
dazed.


Usagi:      Oooohhhh.

Umi:        Uuuughhh.

Usagi:      My head.

Umi:        Which head?  I can see several.

Usagi:      You're the one who hit me.  You tell me.

Umi:        Where is that lump of marshmallow?

Usagi:      I think he got away.


They both sit up, holding their heads.


Usagi:      There is a lump on my head the size of a basketball.


Umi blinks, looking at where Usagi is rubbing her head.


Umi:        No there isn't.

Usagi:      What do you mean?  I can feel it....  Wait a minute...


Usagi parts her hair where the lump is, and looks up into a pair of
squinting eyes.


Usagi:      YOU!

Mokona:     Pupuuuuu.  ^_^

Usagi:      You....  You rotten little lump of....

Mokona:     Puuuu....  ^_^


Umi stands and picks up her mallet.


Umi:        Don't move.  I'll get him.

Usagi:      No!  Wait!

Umi:        I've waited 46 episodes for this, you little lump of 
            dried-up fecal matter....


Umi lifts the mallet high into the air.  Usagi backs away in fear.


Umi:        I said keep still.

Usagi:      I happen to be under that little lump of dried-up fecal
            matter....  I'm not looking forward to having you beat 
            me over the head with that thing.

Umi:        So, you wish to betray me?


Umi laughs, bitterly.


Umi:        After all I've been through to get him, I shall not let
            anything get in my way.  Prepare to die for a good 
            cause, Tsukino Usagi.

Usagi:      But....  I'm already dead.

Umi:        Then you won't feel the blows when they come, will you?

Usagi:      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


END OF PART 24


--------------------------------------------------------------------

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Will Umi beat Usagi into a bloody pulp?  Do Haruka and Michiru 
REALLY know what is going on?  Will they find Ami and Makoto.  Will
Ami and Makoto actually do anything, rather than just stand around
staring into space?  And what does this have to do with a plot 
between a missing blond and a small, white bunny thing....  Oops,
almost gave everything away....  ^_^  Anyway, for no answers to 
these questions, read the next exciting (hyperbole) chapter of
"Waiting for Minako", region locked for reasons known only to the
bastards who make DVD players.
