This is really just gag that I had been thinking about since OneShot
had posted that Revenge Fic of his. I figured an insight into my
thinking would be a good thing ... for me. Anyhows... here it goes!
Chance Encounter
We Descend on a house in the middle of a valley in New Jersey. Its
a Colonial, painted gray and outlined with red brick. We level with
the second floor and enter through the window to see a young man
typing at a computer.
Gary Owens(Voice Over): We join our friend and semi-hero Tempest-, as
he rockets across the internet in search of the greatest fic in the
universe.
Tempest-:Ahhh, shut up, I ain't searching for anything.
Gary Owens: Pardon me for trying to give your life just the glimmer
of worth.
Tempest-: Shouldn't you be working on Space Quest 7?
Gary Owens): There isn't going to BE any Space Quest 7.
Tempest-: Doesn't that suck. How about doing another episode of Mad
About You?
Gary Owens: Once is enough on THAT show.
Tempest-: Good point, Proceed.
Gary Owens: ... when, during his search ...
Tempest-: NO SEARCH!
Gary Owens: ... when, during his trek through the vast database that
is called the internet, he suddenly meets with a strange group of
people.
A man in armor strolls through the doorway into his room.
Tempest-: And you are?
Man: Don't you know? You created me!
Tempest-: Richard or Seether?
Richard: RICHARD!
Tempest-: Don't yell at me! I just WROTE you, I never drew you.
Richard: So much for your impressive imagery.
Tempest-: Now that I think about it, I did draw you a few times,
you're supposed to be in Generals garb.
Richard: The prop director was short on cash, and he had just
finished taking apart the Braveheart set, so he lent me this armor.
Tempest-: Braveheart?! That's over a year old!
Richard: It was a big set...
Tempest-: Whateva
Richard: Anyway, I've been looking for you.
Tempest-: No you haven't.
Richard: Huh?
Gary Owens: At this point in time, it would be prudent to look at the
title of this fic.
Richard: Chance Encounter? I don't get it.
Tempest-: I wrote you to be a GENIUS! You can't be 'Looking' for me
if this is a Chance Encounter.
Richard: This is a long fic, it could be referring to other
characters that are going to show up.
Tempest-: More... more characters are gonna show up? Oh geeze.. I
shoulda cleaned my room.
Richard: Your fine, anyways, I wanna know why you haven't written
anything about me in a while. I mean, you were doing a good job in
The Heroes We Love but then you stopped when you got that partner of
yours.
Tempest-: Well, with Katie around I could divert my attention to
other things, like my Tenchi and Slayers fics.
Richard: Well... when are you gonna get back to me?
Tempest-: When I'm not so busy, okay?
Richard: You haven't been busy in a while, all you do now a days is
talk on IRC and wooon over Chris Davies.
Tempest-: Umm... I don't know what your talking about.
Richard: Get a CLUE! You redid you homepage and the only author you
had time to make a page for was Chris Davies, you have every one of
his stories, hell, Look at the topic! He used that tag for his
timeline.
Tempest-: Not true! I changed it from Sort of a fic to Sorta Fic.
Richard: SEE! Get a life and get back to your fiction. You have a
thousand Fic ideas on your computer and you never write them.
Tempest-: Okay, unless you have anything else to say I suggest you
leave.
Richard: Just start writing again. And try to sway away from Sailor
Moon for a while. No one reads Sailor Moon fics anymore.
Tempest-: Okay okay, get outta here.
Richard: See ya.
Richard leaves the room.
Tempest-: Geeze, that was a trip.
Gary Owens: It ain't over yet, boy.
Tempest-: Huh?
A young man walks in, about Tempest-'s height, about Tempest-'s
weight, and about the same build.
Tempest-: Oh shit.
Adam Leigh: Shit is right! Look what you're doing to my image!!
Tempest-: Your image? We're the same damned person!
Adam Leigh: And I gave up putting YOUR name on my fics a long time
ago. I'm not hiding behind pseudonyms anymore. The only place YOU
exist is on IRC.
Tempest-: Blasphemy.
Adam Leigh: Its the truth! I wrote these characters, not you, and
its far time I got rid of you for good.
Tempest-: Hah! You wrote me too, and you wrote me better than any
character to date. You wrote me more powerful than Pluto!
Adam Leigh: Correction, I wrote Richard more powerful than Pluto.
And I wrote you to be just a little weaker than Richard. Simply put,
Richard learns, grows, and becomes more powerful. You, are stagnant,
static, not changing. Weak.
Tempest-: I'll show you weak!
Tempest- grabs Adam and chucks him out the window.
Gary Owens: Now THAT was a trip.
Tempest-: My thoughts exactly.
Gary Owens: I seriously hope you can exist without your writer.
Tempest-: Fool! That wasn't my writer, I'M the writer, don't you
remember I created a character called Adam Leigh for the Full Circle
series.
Gary Owens: Excuses, Excuses.
Tempest-: Just narrate, okay?
Gary Owens: And so, our writerless character is momentarily relieved,
but the flow hasn't stopped yet.
There's a knock at the door.
Tempest-: What now? <Louder> Come in!
Some guy, barely recognizable walk into the room.
Some Guy: Can you tell me where I am?
Tempest-: Uhh.. I'm gonna need some help on this one, Gary.
Gary Owens: Oh sure, NOW he wants my help.
Tempest-: Fine, be that way.
Some Guy: Umm.. excuse me. Where am I?
Tempest-: You're in Jersey. Oakland, MY house to be precise. I've
never written anyone like you before, who the hell are you?
Some Guy: Is that anywhere near Nermia.
Tempest- falls out of his chair.
Tempest-: My god... Ryouga?
Ryouga: Yup.
Tempest-: Listen to me, you brain dead flunky. I never have, and
never will write a Ranma � story. Now get out of here and get lost
somewhere in Japan.
Ryouga: Umm.. just point me in the right direction.
Tempest-: GET OUT!
Ryouga: Geeze.
Tempest- kicks Ryouga out the window.
Tempest-: I'm getting good at that, I had much better distance this
time.
Gary Owens: Was this trip really necessary?
Tempest-: Probably not. Am I done yet?
Gary Owens: Not yet.
A young boy enters followed by a few girls.
Tempest-: At last! Someone I recognize.
Tenchi: Uhh, hi!
Ryouko: Hiya.
Aeka: Good Evening.
Mihoshi: Hiiiii!
Sasami: Hello, Adam.
Washuu: Greetings.
Tempest-: Wow, that's some role call. Why are all you here?
Tenchi: Need to talk about 'Full Circle'.
Tempest-: Oh really? What's on you mind?
Tenchi: Why aren't you working on it? You seemed to enjoy it.
Tempest-: I went over this with Richard, I don't have the time right
now.
Tenchi: Oh.
Ryouko: Is Richard that good looking guy in The Heroes We Love?
Tempest-: Uhh... yeah.. I guess so...
Aeka: Which way did he go?
Mihoshi: Can I get his autograph?
Tempest- points meekly towards the door. The girls rush out.
Tempest-: What the hell was that all about? I thought they only went
for YOU.
Tenchi: Umm.. well.. since you haven't been writing our story,
they've been kinda bored.
Tempest-: I didn't write them that way, did I?
Tenchi: I'm afraid you did, or at least you plan on it. You're the
one with the thing for ...
Tempest-: Quiet you! Don't tell anyone, I haven't written that far
yet.
Tenchi: Yes you have.
Tempest-: Well.. I haven't posted that far.
Tenchi: Well, this is your fic anyways, you tell me why they ran
after Richard.
Tempest-: Because he's incredibly handsome?
Tenchi: Hey, if that's the excuse you want. I think you just couldn't
think of an interesting dialogue with them.
Washuu: Ahem.
Tempest-: Huh? Oh, Washuu! May I say its a pleasure to have your
acquaintance...
Washuu: Why aren't I in your fic?
Tempest-: Uh.. hehehhe... umm... I haven't written that far yet.
Washuu: So what are you waiting for? Get to it!
Tempest-: Yes ma'am! Right to it!
Washuu: Good, now come Tenchi, I have a few more tests to perform.
Tenchi: I'm sure there's something I've overlooked that needs to be
done..
Washuu: No excuses, come on my guinea pig!
Washuu pulls Tenchi out of the room, Tempest- sighs.
Tempest-: How about now?
Gary Owens: Your getting warmer.
The window suddenly opens and in flys a girl in a cape and medieval
garb.
Lina Inverse: You!
Tempest-: Oh boy...
Lina Inverse: And WHY am I dying?
Tempest-: Oh, come on, your story is my only 'true to the series'
fic. And besides, it makes good drama.
Lina Inverse: Good Drama!? I should fireball you right here and now!
Tempest-: Okay okay, but listen, I can't promise you won't die, but
if you survive, it'll make this Shabranigdo thing look like child's
play.
Lina Inverse: I Could Die?!! What kinda writer are you, letting your
main character die.
Tempest-: Seen what I did in 'A Different Pair Of Eyes'?
Lina Inverse: Of course! And it was completely unnecessary.
Tempest-: I kinda *like* being a Darkfic writer.
Lina Inverse: If you kill me off...
Tempest-: Deal with it. You should know that you're one of my
favorite magicians.
Lina Inverse: Well... of course I am. There's no one better!
Tempest-: Right, you keep saying that to yourself, and please, use
the DOOR on your way out.
Lina Inverse: Umm... Okay.
Lina walks out of the doorway.
Gary Owens: This is gonna look like a complete copy of what OneShot
did unless you do SOMETHING significant.
Tempest-: Like what?
Lita and Amy walk into the room.
Lita: Wow, I was right, he DOES look like my old boyfriend.
Amy: Something tells me that the probability of that wasn't low.
Tempest-: Hey you two! My two favorite characters, in my house!
Lita: I'm sure you had nothing to do with that, did ya?
Tempest-: Who... Me?
Lita: So what's the deal with this Heroes We Love fic?
Amy: Yes, why are you stringing us along in this story?
Tempest-: Well, I figured that Lita would be perfect to play opposite
of Richard. You both are strong, impulsive, and will fight for what
you believe in.
Lita: [blushes] Well... at least he's good looking.
Tempest-: Uhh... right. And He just ran out that door, if you hurry
you might be able to catch him!
Lita: Really?
Lita dashes out of the room.
Amy: Why did you do that?
Tempest-: Couldn't think of any interesting dialog with her.
Amy: What was that?
Tempest-: Nothing nothing. So, Amy, you don't mind playing opposite
of Gabriel Knight?
Amy: Mind? He's ten years older than me! Why would I be interested in
a guy like him.
Tempest-: Actually, he's twenty years older, but this fic takes place
in the future.
Amy: Well.. more to my point. And he's nowhere near my intellectual
level, either.
Tempest-: No, not even close. Compared to you, he's a Neanderthal.
Amy: Exactly.
Tempest-: But he's got the guts and the depth of character to make it
work. So we'll see what happens.
Amy: I don't like it very much.
Tempest-: I know, I'd be fool to think that a Charming, Intellectual,
and Stunningly Beautiful person like you would go along with it
willingly.
Amy: [Blushes] Why.. Why did you use capitals like that?
Tempest-: Just to stress my point.
Tempest- reaches down to his miniature refrigerator and pulls out a
bottle.
Tempest-: Champagne? I keep it cold just for this occasion.
Amy: [Very Red] That you meet with a Sailor Scout?
Tempest-: That I meet with the woman of my dreams.
Amy: How sweet...
Gary Owens: Oh, I'm gonna be sick.
Tempest-: I think its time we end this fic, Gary. I need to..
'discuss' some things with Amy.
Gary Owens: But you haven't finished yet.
Tempest-: [Looks at Amy] Oh yes I have. Say hi to Pluto for me.
Gary Owens: Hi to Pluto for me.
We pull out from the window and away from the house.
Tempest-: (Voice Over) Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look
when you dress like that?
Amy: (Voice Over) Nope.
Tempest-: Someday I will...
Fin.
