(Flashman walks into the theater and see Trident, who is sitting in 
his seat and Sakura, who is still dressed in a Wonder Woman costume 
and is snoring away.)

Flashman:(To Trident) What happened to her?
Trident: She went to the Tendo Halloween party and Happosai spiked 
the punch... again.
Flashman: Then wake her.  We got counter C&C to perform.
_____________________________
Skuld: [running into the theatre]  I can't find Oneechan!

[Urd looks even more guilty]

{[Ominous sound of thunder.  Sakura wakes up.]
Sakura:(Sleepily) Wha... huh?  Oh, CC&C time again?
Flashman: Yep... and welcome back.}

Chris: No, really, think about it.  Like in Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, they 
destroy Tokyo on a regular basis.
Skuld: [sighs] 
{Sakura: Ah that's nothin' you should see what happens when all the 
Mortal Kombatants and all the Street Fighters team up for....
Flashman: SAKURA!!!
Sakura: OW!  Go easy, I still got a headache like you wouldn't 
believe.
Flashman: Sorry, had to stop you from going to spoiler mode.}

Skuld: [groans]  Bad joke.
Chris: [grins] very bad joke.  I like it.
{Flashman:(Grins) Knew you would.}

Urd/Skuld: 'Niichan/Oniichan?
Chris: To quote a phrase: NOT BLOODY LIKELY!

{Trident: There they go with THAT again.}

Skuld: OOOOh, she's mad.
Chris: [thinks] It must be that time of the month.
Urd: [smacking him upside the head] Don't be like Lurker.

{Flashman:(Snicker) You know, the rest of the FFML is probably 
thinking we've got one hell of a clique going on here with all these 
in references.}


Chris: 'Hi Akane, I've been sent to New York to fight a big evil 
superhuman crime syndicate.  I'm dating Sailor Moon and I don't 
remember anything of my past. Signed, Ranma.'  
Skuld: [confused] Didn't they see him disappear?

{Flashman: Nope.  The SENSHI were present for his vanishing act, but 
all the Nerima crew know is that he hasn't been around for a while.}

Urd: She IS mad.  She usually reserves the mallet for Ranma, not 
bricks.
Chris: [grinding his teeth] Not gonna say it, not gonna think it...

{Sakura: What?  That Ranma's head is the same thing?}

Skuld: Yay Akane!
Urd: No way! Shampoo, tell me it's not so!
Chris: You're awfully fixated on her, Urd. [whacked by Urd] HEY!  
Stop acting like Hikaru. [pauses, Blade voice] Go Tarou!

{Trident:(scowls) I still do not understand how ANYONE can cheer for 
that monstrosity.
(Sakura and Flashman have ignored him as they imagine the image that 
Chris's comment to Urd brings to mind.
Sakura: Daimaoh Lemon?
Flashman: Daimahoh Lemon.}

Chris: OOOH, violence!
Urd: Do they even have thirty units of SUMP?

{Flashman: If they called them in from all the districts and then 
some from other near by cities, they could reach that number... or it 
could be that Nerima deemed it necessary to have that many on hand.}

Skuld: Leave Chris alone you big meanie!
Voice: That's it, I got to find those Kenji stories.
Skuld: Eeep!

{[All three blink.]
Trident: I do not understand.
S&F: Join the club.}

Chris: [mimes passing something to Urd] Here.
Urd: Oooooh, just what I wanted, an Evil Eye!
Skuld: [shaking her head] Bakas.

{[All three slap their foreheads.]}

Chris: Too late, babe, you lost him to a sixteen year old who rivals 
Soun for crybaby, is a worse martial artist than you, cooks just as 
badly, has two pony tails and odango, and who can kick all your 
butts! Bwahahahahahahahaha!
{Sakura: HEY!  Watch the insults! (Cracks knuckles)  Usagi happens to 
be a friend of mine.
Trident: Just "friends"?
Flashman:(Looks at Trident) O_O  You... made a joke?!!!
Trident: I was not joking.  I just noticed the looks that our young 
martial artist gives Usagi-sama whenever she is on screen.
Sakura: YOU KEEP OUT OF THAT!
(Sakura and Trident get into a projectile war.)}

Skuld: Yeah, Usagi and Ranma forever!

{Flashman:(Grins) Maybe...}

Urd: [sniffs, then brightens] Hey, you think Mamoru would go for 
Shampoo?
Chris/Skuld: [exchange a glance, then shudder] Nope.  

{(The two dueling fighting game characters stop long enough to join 
Flashman in a shudder.)}

Chris: Akane?
Skuld: [nods] Definitely Akane.

{Flashman:(As he ducks a fireball) Nah... I'm spliting him from his 
True Love so he deserves someone nice... maybe Kasumi. (Ducks a 
Plasma Bolt) I'll have to think about it.}

Chris: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Urd: I guess not.
Skuld: Good plan, though.

{Flashman: Delayed reaction.}

Chris: [sarcasticly] Son't be too happy or anything.  Sheesh.  She 
doesn't deserve Ranma.  None of them do.  Ranma and Usagi forever!

[small statue falls ontop of Chris]

Voice: ENOUGH!

{[Flashman grins.]}

<*crack*boom*ominous thunder*>

{Trident stops as Sakura puts on her rain coat and the two of them 
continue.}


Skuld: Hawkins and a hawk-like face? Flashman no baka.
Chris: That was pretty bad.

{Flashman:(Sweatdrop) I swear!  It was purely unintentional!}

<*crack*boom*ominous thunder*>
Urd: This is gonna be messy...

{Flashman: Hmmm.
(Sakura and Trident return to their seats, both of them scortched all 
over.)
Sakura: What is it?
Flashman: Just wondering what a Ginzuishou healing could do for old 
Blue Thunder.}

Chris: Saw that coming? [Three hands go up.] Predictable.

{Flashman:(Shrugs) So it's predictable!}

Chris: [snickers] She has a point.
Urd: Whippersnappers.
Chris: Urd, you've been reincarnated HOW many times?
Urd: [sniffs] A lady's age is her own business.

{[Sakura and Flashman laugh as Trident cracks a smile.]}

Chris: Real C&C time.  You could kill that last 'for it'.  The 
sentence might flow better that way.

{Flashman: Oops.}

Chris: That last sentence is alkward. Fix it.

{Flashman: Yeah, but is it awkward?}

Chris: Eeep.  That's what flight is for.
Urd: She can't fly.  
Chris: Sure she can, all she needs to do is borrow Akane for a bit...


{Trident: Huh?
Flashman: Think Mallet Express.}

Urd: Nice tipper.

{Flashman: Gotta keep apperances up.}

Chris: Gold chopsticks?  Ught.  Those things must get scored and bent 
awfully badly.

{Trident: I can sympathise. (Indicates the gold trident in place of 
his right hand.}

Urd: I knew it.
Skuld: I knew it.
Chris: Hey, _I_ was surprised.  Not much, but barely.

{Flashman: For me, that's enough.}

Chris: Question mark, not a period.

{Flashman: Oopsie.}

Chris: Closing quotes.

{Flashman: Not if the same person is talking in the next paragraph.}

Chris: Department's.

{Flashman: Actually, more like "Departments'".
Sakura: Done?
Flashman: All done.}

Chris: You know, property values in Nerima must be abysmaly low.

{Flashman: Yeah, but the construction companies must be pulling in a 
small fortune.}

Skuld: Daimon?
Urd: Sounds like it.
{Sakura: This guy has REALLY got to find some episodes of DBZ.}

Chris: Daimon means Sailor Moon S.  Sailor Moon S means....Chibi Usa! 
[screams] Oh the humanity!
Urd: Don't you think you're blowing that just a little out of 
proportion?
Chris: Remember my Magic Knight Rayearth tapes?  That character 
Mokona you
hate so much?
Skuld: It's so KAWAI! How could you hate it?
Chris: Chibi-Usa is kawai and annoying.  90% of the time she's on I 
want to smack her.
Urd: [shudders] Bleah...

{F/S/T: Here, here!}
