(The lights come up to show Zero pleading a case to Flashman.)
Zero: All I'm asking is this one favor.  I'll never ask for anything 
again if you do this for me... I'll even let you go before me when we 
beat up Endymion if you do this.
Flashman: Boy, you must really like her.
Zero: After I lost Iris, I never thought I'd feel this way again... 
ESPECIALY for a human.  But...
Flashman:(Thoughtful) Weeeelll, I think I can work SOMETHING out.
Bison:(Demon Head) YoU mOrOnS!  ThE nExT cHaPtEr Of MaMa'S HaNd'S 
hErE!!! So StOp ThE dAtInG sErViCe AnD lEt'S gEt To WoRk!!!

You know I've been wondering about something... What's the thing with "So
StOp..." etc.? DDFA does it for his titles to and I've yet to figure out
way. Oh yeah did you do an MST for #19? Not that I'm being selfish but I
haven't seen it yet.

<I dare not move against her though,> Rubeus thought darkly, absently 
tracing a pattern on the crystalline tabletop. <She is Endymion's 
tart.

[All: ......
Flashman: I've never heard of someone being called a "tart" before, 
but I think I get the general idea.]

Gomen, I just got through reading two Ruth Rendle (sp?) mysteries and thier
set in Englad. Anyway a "tart" is a more... polite way of calling Esmer a
slut.

Rubeus scowled slightly then said, "Hai."

[Flashman: I don't know... for some reason, the use of "hai" here 
just doesn't work for me.
Bison: It's okay for some ocasions but not here.]

Yes after reading this I agreed with you. I'll fix it up.

It rang once, then twice, then a third time. She was about to hang up 
when a groggy sounding voice came. "Moshi moshi?" the distorted voice 
of Mamoru said.

[All:(Throwing pop corn at the screen) Boo!  Hiss!
Flashman:(Turns to Him, sarcasticaly) Is that a more aceptible 
reaction for you O' Lord of What Should Go in Fan Fiction Reviews?]

O_O

There was a long pause before Mamoru said, "I don't know, Sweetheart. 
Your grandparents don't like me." Silently Mamoru thought, <And what 
did she mean by saying she wants `Mommy as Mommy'?!?>

[(The hail of pop corn increases.)]

O_o;

"Goodnight Chibi-Usa-chan, I love you." The soft giggle of delight 
that came over the phone conveyed her happiness perfectly. <Now all I 
have to do is to convince Usagi to get her parents to leave me alone,
Mamoru thought darkly.

[Zero: It's your turn Flashman.
Flashman: Thank you. *Ahem!*  NOT BLOODY LIKELY!]

I was wondering when Flashman would get his turn.

Tuxedo Kamen was feeling a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, he 
was feeling a type of parental rage that something would threaten to 
harm HIS child. He was also feeling elation; he had arrived ahead of 
the Senshi and this would give him an opportunity to prove to Usagi 
how good he was. After landing on the schoolgrounds, he turned to 
face the Droid and Petz.

[Bison/Zero: PETZ?!
Flashman: Errr... we're only familiar with the NA versions of their 
names.  Which one is this?]

Petz = Avery
Berdeche = Birdy
Cooan = Catsy
Karaberas = Prisma

"Schools are for the betterment of youth and not for the corruption 
of their innocence!" Flourishing his cane, he jabbed it towards Petz 
and shouted, "On behalf of these victims! I WILL PUNISH YOU!" With 
that, his cane stretched jabbing at Petz who easily dodged it.

[All: ........
Bison: I can't believe he SAID that.]

Heh, you and me both... and I was the one to write it.

Petz was unsure of what to do. <I can't attack him and Gellax is 
defending herself properly.> Turning, she spotted a slight commotion 
in the cowering children who were encased in Gellax's wax. <What's 
this?!?> Floating over a little, Petz let out a gasp. "The Rabbit!!!" 
she declared.

[Bison:(Singing) Kill da Wabbit!  Kill da Wa....
(Flashman punches his face in.)
Bison: OW!  What'd I say to deserve that?
(Zero whispers in J.Bisons ear.)
Bison:(Blushes) Oops, sorry I didn't know that Putz... err, Petz 
meant her.]

^_^;; (snicker)

"NANI?!?" Sailor Moon questioned, "How'd this happen all at once?!?"

[Flashman: They're very, very fast.]

Or she took her sweet time... (WHAM!!!) Gomen.

"You?!?" Sailor Moon questioned, "You've got to be kidding?!?" <He 
knows perfectly well that I have to kill the Droid!>

[Zero: I don't know if Usagi would use the word "kill", since Droids 
aren't really living things.
Flashman: Let's not get THAT debate started again.]

Errr... okay. However Zero makes a good point, maybe "destroy" would be
better.

"NANI?!?" Petz demanded turning to the new voice. However, she turned 
into Jupiter's attack and was flung backwards. "You'll pay for 
that!!!"

[Flashman: Cash, check or credit card?
(Zero and Bison do the LEO punt on Flashman.)]

Well I've heard worse puns.

The attacks combined and sped towards Petz but she winked out of 
sight.

[Zero: Where's Venus's attack?
Bison:(Letcherous grin) You've been paying an awful lot of attention 
to her lately.
Zero: To quote Akuma, "bite me".]

I don't think that would be healthy... for either Zero or Bison.

"Mommy???" Chibi-Usa said, her voice trembling, "Make Daddy happy." 
The image of Tuxedo Kamen beating on the Droid was too close to the 
truth for her to really handle. She began to softly cry in fear and 
terror while clinging to her mother's leg. That was why she wanted 
her family back. She didn't want her father to be angry like he was 
showing her now.

[(The hail of pop corn starts again, much more intense then before 
and is joined by several candy bars and empty soda containers.)]

o_O; Hrrmmm...

Chibi-Usa walked over to Tuxedo Kamen and hugged his leg. "You have a 
good day at school," Tuxedo Kamen said, "You be a good girl now." 
Chibi-Usa nodded. "I'll get your mommy to marry me and then we can be 
a family," Tuxedo Kamen whispered to his daughter. Giving one more 
look towards her mother, Chibi-Usa went off to find her friend 
amongst the crying children.

[Flashman: All together now...
All: NOT BLOODY LIKELY!!!]

Heh, true, very true.

Flashman: So, what do you think?
Zero: Despite what some people have said, I don't have too much 
trouble accepting how Mamoru is acting in this.  If this were a 
lighter fic, then I would, but given the subject matter, it's a 
perfect fit.
Bison: Yeah, but I can understand how other people can see it 
differently.  It's just that I can't understand how those same people 
can say the Ranma in "Ill Met By Starlight" who is acting the same 
way, is acting in a possible IC manner.
Flashman: And we'll be back for the next chapter.  Oh and BTW, I 
wrote this MST BEFORE I sent my rant to the FFML, so if this seems a 
little nasty at points, I apologise.

Thanks for the MST and your support. It's much appreciated. I'll say it
now, Parts 21 and 22 will likely be delayed for a few days. My
proofer/editor/conspiritor won't be on-line until the middle of next week.
I'll get it out to you *maybe* along with the ending as soon as I can after
he returnes.
