"Transitions" is the property of Richard Lawson and he's
welcome to it. I do not intend to offend him for making fun
of his work like this but I figure no one else ever will and
besides, I was double-dared.  Anyway, think of this as 
another form of C&C.  ;)

Heh, well, I've been MST3K'd before.  Most notably Sebastian Weinberg
and Travis Butler, who each did an excellent job.  Then there was the
hack job of my Sailor Moon fanfic "Urges".  That wasn't even an MST3K by
my definition of the word.

So I've had the whole spectrum covered.  Will be interested to see
wherein this MST3K lies.

"JUST SEND US THE DAMN FIC."  Joel and the bots chorused.

I, uh, sort of agree.  I had this problem with your previous MST - the
intro was a bit too long.

Please let me know what you think; I've changed the "reply to:"
field to include the FFML, since I want some discussion on this.
You'll need to change that if you want to reply to me privately.

Tom: (ominously)  We fear change....

Joel: Does Tybalt know about this?

This was pre-Tybalt.

Joel: Richard's so paranoid he has to protect his website with dashes.

Tom: Looks like he's just started construction on the second wall....

Hehehehe.

He didn't have to look up at her; he *heard* her smile.

Joel: Nuku Nuku should really start wiping her mouth after meals....

:D

She lifted it and smiled.  "It's a cat!"

Crow: Actually it's Ranma after he freaks out.

:)

Hiro nodded back enthusiastically.  "Our secret.  Are you really a
cat?"

Tom: (imitating Nuku)  I hate you, now feed me!

Bwahahahahahahah!   :D  :D  :D  :D  :D
 
"Can we play the reading game?"

Tom: Again?  Oh, all right.  Go and get the weji board....   

Joel: Hey, I'm getting something!  S....M....A....R....

:D

He took her hand and led her to the bookcase.  He was glad that 
she was here, glad that she was happy and thought his picture 
beautiful.  The whole *world* was beautiful with Nuku Nuku in it.

Joel: Er...exactly how OLD is Hiro? 

I imagine Hiro to be in his mid-30's.

Most people miss this, but Hiro is supposed to be in a home for the
developmentally disabled.

Akiko looked steadily at him for a minute, her expression 
studious.  "It has come to my attention that you have graduated 
>from college."

Crow: (imitating Akiko)  Don't bother denying it!  I recognized your 
voice from the McDonald's Drive Thru speaker....

Hehehehehehehehehe....

Kei thought for a moment, apparently taking time to answer 
carefully.  


Joel: Because you're a vindictive, psychopathic bitch?  Oops,
damn!  Not careful enough.... 

Hahahhahahahahaha.  :D  :D

If I am gifted and deserving of promotion, I do not want the 
appearance to be one of favoritism should you choose to advance me."

Crow: Pick me and the toilets will sparkle like new!

:D  :D

Kei smiled.  "I think so, too.  MHI is currently as stable as it 
has ever been.  

Crow: The CEO, on the other hand....

:)

Akiko smiled again, a little sadly.  His words were remarkably 
similar to the ones she'd given her grandfather years ago, and 
that wasn't necessarily for the best. 

Joel: (imitating Akiko)  HA! HA!  I GOT YOUR COMPANY!!! AND 
YOU'RE GOING TO CROAK SOMEDAY!!!  NYAH! NYAH!!!

Hehehehehe.

Atsuko was going to need to conceal her true nature.  

Crow: You might want to start with some earmuffs....

Just so you guys know, she has normal ears.  Those pop-up things fold
away when she's not using them.

Akiko blinked, once again at a loss for words.  "What?"


All: HE SAID DO YOU LOVE YOUR....AW, SKIP IT!!!

:D

Kei sat back in his chair.  

Crow: (imitating Kei)  Heh heh heh....Advantage: Son-in-law.

Hehehehe.

With her eyes lidded, she nodded once.

All: LIDDED?!?

Tom: *Closed*, sure.  *Shut*, okay.  But *Lidded*?

Joel: With my cap hooded, I left for the ballgame....

Crow: Put a lid on it, Joel....

Never heard the term "lidded"?  It means "half-open".  Like a Clint
Eastwood sort of thing.

Currently, she was staring intensely at the 
screen, a look of deep concentration on her face.  


Tom: (imitating Atsuko)  I don't care if it takes me the rest of the 
day!  I'm not moving till this stupid *magic eye picture* comes into 
focus.... 

Hehehehehehe.  :D  :D  :D

I had a similar problem at first with "magic eye" pictures.  I just
couldn't get them to *work*.  I was certain it was all just the
"Emperor's Clothes" all over again:  "Truly intelligent people can see
an eagle in this morass of color..."

The cat on her lap meowed at him.  

Crow: (imitating cat)  Shampoo needs air!  Help!

Hehehehehe.

Another cat was 
sprawled on the table, watching them with uninterested eyes.  


Joel: (imitating cat)  I still don't see why Luna thinks this girl
could be a sailor senshi....

:)

This smile was the proud, knowing, touch-of-love smile.  

Tom: Collect the whole set!

:)

He placed his hands on Atsuko's shoulders and separated them a little.  

Crow: Ouch!  Who does he think he is?  Dr. Tofu?

Joel: (imitating Kei)  This is so cool!  Shoulders come off, 
shoulders come on, shoulders come off, shoulders come on....

Hehehehehehehehehehe.

Crow: Well, what do you suggest we do?  Speed the fanfic along
past the mushy parts?

Ah, you skipped over the "something people who are going to get married
do" bit.  :)
 
THE REAL END.

Ah, I was hoping for more.  Still, it would have made this particular
MST3K about five times as long as it was already.

Thanks, guys.  Funny, with a couple of genuine C&C observations.

Finally I'd like to thank Richard Lawson for writing "Transitions"
and  giving us a lot of material to work with.   I hope you're not
too offended.

Nope.  Not at all.  I enjoyed this one.  Now if the guy who did the
"Urges" MST ever shows up...  :)

Megane 6.7 and Jeffery "Oneshot" Wong

Thanks again, guys.  I truly consider it to be an honor to be singled
out for this kind of attention.
