			   THE FLASH POINT

(Flashman, Zero and J.Bison have once again taken their seats as the 
lights come up.  Flashman is holding some kind of box in his hands.)

Zero: What's with the box?
Flashman:(VEG) You'll see...

I hope so.

Castration - 9 forms suggested

[(Flashman and Bison wince at the thought.  Zero laughs evily.)

Although I do find just as painful I will admit a liking for the serated
wooden spoon method for Endymion.

non-standard way AFAIK.

[Flashman: AFAIK?]

AFAIK - As Far As I Know
AFAIC - As Far As I'm Concerned

[(Flashman bats away the hands of both Zero and Bison, who had been 
covering his eyes.)
Flashman: HEY!  I wanna see!!!  Besides, I'm not Lurker, I'm not 
gonna shamelessly drool.
Bison/Zero: Just checking.
Flashman:(Under his breath) Too much.]

O_O (snicker)...(snort) Now why didn't I see that coming?!?

[(All three try to imagine an SD version of Chibi-Usa, wearing 
glasses and reading advanced calculus books.)
Flashman: I like Ami... but ONE of her is enough! (Suddenly serious) 
You know... this makes one wonder if Ami...
Zero: If anyone was crazy enough to write THAT...
Bison: The Mercury fan boys would linch him/her on the spot!]

Hmmm... If I understand what your getting at, it would be an interesting
challange. I like challanges; alas, I have too much on my plate already.

[Zero/Bison: Look familiar?
Flashman: Bite me.
Zero: I thought that was Akumas line?]

(snicker)

[(Zero and Bison start throwing confetti and stremers while Flashman 
dances around and waves little Japanese fans.)
Flashman: I've said it before and I'll say it again... even thought I 
don't normaly like Chibi-Usa, you can't help but feel good to see her 
getting better.]

True, I will admit that Chibi-Usa is one of my more favourite characters to
write aboiut. Howeverr, if I can get someone who noramlly doesn't like her
to have sympathy for her then I must be doing something right.

<You are a good artist,> Usagi thought glancing over to Chibi-Usa's 
latest creation. A sad smile came to Usagi's face, <Oh, little one, I 
don't think he'd ever loved you.>

[(The celebration comes to a screeching halt.)
Flashman: As much as I hate to agree with that...
Zero: She's right.
Bison: BTW, you may want to change that line to either, "I don't 
think he'd ever love you" or "he's ever loved you."]

Hmmm... well that would change the meaning slightly. I should probably
expand "he'd" to "he would". My original intent was Usagi thinking that
Chibi-Usa's father would never love her; no matter what she did. Thanks for
the suggestion though, it might work better.

"Hai, you showed me picture of him before. Daddy look different 
without his shiny suit on." Chibi-Usa shifted slightly so she could 
see the picture better. "You said that Daddy knew how to hide his 
suit."

[Zero: Hey!  I've got an idea.
Flash/Bison: What?
Zero: Why don't we go after Mamoru BEFORE he turns into Endymion.
Flashman: Can't.  It would cause a major disruption to the Time 
Stream and would make the laws of reality null and void.
Zero: Says who?
Flashman: Sailor Pluto, Back to the Future and a gagillion Star Trek 
episodes.]

It would also ruine the plot. I gotta keep Mamoru alive for a little while
at least.

[(All three look at each other, smiling.  Then, without warning, they 
throw their arms around each other and start bawling with happiness.
)]

Awww... kawaii! ^_^

Neo-Queen Serenity gave a little sigh of relief. The warm soothing 
waters of the furo seemed to drain some of the worry out of her.

[(Flashman, once again, bats the blocking hands of J.Bison and Zero 
out of the way.)
Flashman: CUT THAT OUT!]

Hehhehe.... 

<We must be in a cabin or something.> Serenity thought, <The 
furniture looks like it's several centuries out of date.> Although 
still weak, Serenity had gained her vision back. Where they were, was 
a mountainous region and definitely not in Japan.

[Zero: Is this a clue as to who the allies are?
Flashman: Let's say it now...
(All of them, including Sakura and Trident, who have mysteriously 
appeared, get on their knees.)
All: PLEASE, LET US BE THE ALLIES GUARDING SERENITY!  PLEEAAASSSEEE???

(Sakura and Trident dissapear back to Otaku Leap.)]

Is it a clue? Possibly, I won't say anything. As to guarding Serenity???
Well I'll think about it.

[Flashman: I would have thought that the mysterious allies would have 
made a shadow cameo here.]

Actually this was intentional. There's more to come so they will make at
least a shadow cameo later on.

[Flashman: "A confused puppy"?  I like it.  I'll have to ste.. 
lovingly borrow that line sometime.]

Wiil and I typical make Mamoru out to be a confused puppy so I had to put
that in the fic. It's strange, I have never received a complaint form a
Mamoru fan saying I give him the short end of the stick all the time... So
maybe I'm not that far off.

The reason for her not eating so much was Usagi confusion over Chibi-
Usa's shift in behavior. At first the little girl didn't want to see 
her "father". Now, however, Chibi-Usa was almost ignoring Usagi and 
seemed to be listening attentively to every word that Mamoru said.

[Flashman: If I remember what friends who have gone through this told 
me right, that's how it works.
Bison:(Nods) Good work showing that.]

Thank you, I was aware of it but in plotting my editor pointed it out.

[Flashman:(Pointing at the fic) See?  Endymion and Mamoru are 
COMPLETLY different.]

For the moment... (evil grin).

When Chibi-Usa first saw Makoto, she gave a little gasp of surprise 
before hiding behind Usagi. <She BIG!>

[(Flashman starts hitting himself over the head.)
Flashman: Must... banish... perverted... comment.
Bison/Zero: ....]

O_O (chortle) Somehow I never saw that one coming.

Forty minutes and one frazzled sales clerk later, all three girls 
emerged from the store. Chibi-Usa was still looking into the bag in 
fascination. "Kawaii," she mumbled out. The body of the coat was a 
purple-pink in color. The sleeves consisted of four bands, one each 
of green, red, blue, and orange. It had already been dubbed the "Coat 
of Senshi Colors" by Usagi. This elicited a giggle out of Makoto and 
a blank stare from Chibi-Usa.

[Zero: I thought she knew about the Senshi.]

She does, however she doesn't know much about the Senshi. Chibi-Usa
wouldn't understand the reference to the colors, she's never seen the
Senshi before.

<I hope they not get...> Chibi-Usa thoughts trailed off and she shook 
her head, <I hope they don't get mad at me.> Satisfied that she'd 
thought it correctly, she nodded. The fact that Usagi and Makoto were 
arguing over her was causing Chibi-Usa to worry. <I hope Makoto not 
hit Mommy.> Anytime her parents fought, it would make her father 
angry. Endymion typically ended the fight by assaulting Serenity in 
one form or another whether Chibi-Usa was around or not.

[Zero: I don't like what's insinuated there...
(Flashman starts vibrating.)
Bison: Uh oh!  He's gonna blow!
(Flashman stands as Bison and Zero head for the hills.)
Flashman:(Glowing yellow, blue and silver) 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....
(Flashman continues to scream and the theater is bathed in the light 
surrounding Flashman as it explodes outwards.)]

(mumbles)Holy shit... (normal voice) Grk! Um... no Endymion *never*
sexually assulted Serenity at *any* time. It was all physical, better
clarify that last statement. And if your having that reaction to that last
paragraph then I need a bigger shetler for the next part.

Usagi was about to protest the point then noticed that Chibi-Usa was 
looking worriedly at them. <Oh I completely forgot about her. Chibi-
Usa's so quiet.> Usagi started to giggle, <We must look pretty silly, 
and Makoto is right - it is HER money.> "Okay Mako-chan, you win."

[(The light fades and reviels that most of the theater is decimated 
and a confused Flashman stands in the rubble as Zero and J.Bison 
rejoin him.)
Flashman: I thought that Usagi-samas mother gave her money to buy 
something for Chibi-Usa?]

She did, but Makoto wants to get Chibi-Usa a toy as well. Usagi doesn't
want Makoto to spend money she might need on a toy.

Chibi-Usa tapped her lip for several second in deep thought before 
saying, "I gonna name him, Ranma."

"Ranma?!?" Usagi questioned, "Why would you want to name him that?"

[(Zero and Bison stare at Flashman.)
Flashman:(Threateningly) Not... a... single... coment.]

Awww, darn.

[All: Can we watch?
Flashman: And do you really mean ALL his hair?]

Yes you can watch and Yes I do mean ALL his hair.

[Flashman: "considering taht"?  I think you mean "considering that".
]

Right, thanks for spotting it.

[Bison: And a good part it was.]

Arigato.

(Zero egarly turns to Flashman.)

Zero: Okay, I've GOT to know.  Just WHAT is in that box?  You've been 
holding it all day and you promised you'd tell me what's in it.
Flashman: Oooooooh... okay. (Flashman opens the box and pulls out a 
remote control)  Ta da!
Bison: A remote control?  What's it control?
Flashman: The heavy artilery for when we take Endymion to our tourtre 
machine. (Flashman hits one of the big red buttons) Now look outside.

(Zero and J.Bison race for the window and look out.  They go wide 
eyed as they look up and see, wearing special helmets, Godzilla, 
Mecha Godzilla, Neo Mecha Godzilla and Space Godzilla.)

O_O!!! Why do I get the feeling that Endymion isn't going to survive till
the end of the fic? Ah I know, most people will be too POed with him and
decided not to wait till the end.

Flashman: They'll be the heavy hitters of our assault force and we 
can see what happens when we have 'em jump up and down on him a few 
times too.
Zero:(Stunned) Cooool.
Bison:(Stunned too) Wow.

Very (starts to sweat and mutters) Watch this Flashman will super-charge
them after the next part. Not good, not good at all...

Flashman:(Turns to Doug) BTW, I didn't get to say this during chapter 
11 due to memory constrains {*&%$&# Note Pad} but concerning the 
whole "Serenity's other love" thing... PLEASE don't make it Seiya(sp?
).  If you do, you'd better not go to I-Con or I'll find you and 
punch you in the nose.
(Authors note: I'm kidding.  If I ever met you IRL, I'd shake your 
hand and praise your work.)

(blushed) Thanks... (Usagi Wail starts) I can't make it to a I-Con! (calms
suddenly) Point of I can't go to most con's in the states... (pouts
slightly) Being stuck up in the Canadain boonies (Mid-way between
civilization and the great white north) hampers things. (resumes normal
facial fetures) As to the "Serenity's other love" I will only say that
there are two candiates. One of them might or might not be Seiya. Will you
find out who the actual father is? Yes.

Thanks for the MST... (Makes note to self): Find time to C&C Trio...
