Sakura: So, how was the taping?
Flashman: <Looks like he's talking, but no sound comes out.>
Trident: Did he say something?
Zero: I had my sound system turned up to full but I heard nothing.
(Flashman sighs {or at least gives the impression of sighing}, pulls
out a notepad and writes something down on it before handing the pad
to Sakura.)
Sakura:(Reading from the pad) "I enjoyed myself very much, thank you.
However, the need to cheer on my favorites has caused me to
temporarily lose my voice and so, for the rest of this section, I
will use the boom box you see here to express my feelings."
Ninjor: Let's get underway.
Glad you had fun, too bad about the voice though.
"Are you feeling okay? Is it the baby?" His face was creased with
lines of worry. Gently, he touched her. "Serenity?" he questioned
softly, "What's wrong?"
[Sakura:(Imitating Serenity) Oh nothing, just the fact that I was
being abused by Endymion a few seconds ago...
Ninjor: Was not Dimando a villian?
Trident: It is the very nature of alternate realities to change a
character due to cirumstances of that reality.
Zero: In other words, since Serenity was available in this reality,
Dimando didn't join up with the Black Moon Family.
Ninjor: Ah.]
You got it pretty much pegged. Diamondo was part of peace envoy (sp?) from
the Black Moon Family and of his on volition started to court Serenity. The
romance was encouraged to help heal the rift between Nemisis and Earth.
It was as if Serenity never even heard. <Family?> she silently
mouthed the word to the thought. She tried to remember and found she
could. She found the memory and it appeared not to be false. <Mamoru
and Minako are married. She wanted to help him after we...> She found
that thought too painful and shied away from it, <I don't know how
Mamoru survived. Somehow, though, he did.> "They have children, ne?"
Serenity questioned.
[(Zero looks rather distraught.)
Zero: WHAT?!?!?! WHY?! (Starts banging his head against the wal)
WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY...
Boom Box: (Click) But repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I
should really just relax..." (Click)]
Zero, you got could go back in time and split Minako and Mamoru up. You
could still have her.
Feeling tired, Serenity gently slid forward before lying down and
waited for Usagi to settle herself again before she answered her
daughter's question. "Hai, I was sad... but then I thought about all
the good times. You know all your cousins?" Chibi-Usa nodded, the
yearly family picknick that was held always producs several hundred
people. "Well every cousing you have is either related to Usagi, the
girl I used to know, or Shingo."
[Sakura: Damn!
Zero: Talk about living up to your name...
(Flashman wacks Zero on the back of the head with the Sentai Saber.)
Trident: "Always produced" not "always producs". And "every cousin"
not "every cousing".]
BWHAHAHAH! Ture, never thought of it that way. Thanks for catching those
errors.
Getting down, Chibi-Usa slid under the covers. Maia simply sat where
she was and stared towards the ground again. Sitting back up, Chibi-
Usa looked towards her friend. "Are you scared?" she questioned Maia.
After a moment, the little girl nodded. <I don't want Maia to be
scared...> Chibi-Usa thought and, tapping her chin, tried to think of
something to help Maia. A slow smile spread across her face as she
turned and took her teddy bear down. "Here," Chibi-Usa said and
handed Ranma over to Maia.
[Boom Box: (Click)(Sound bite of Ranma) Quit treating me like a cup o
noodles! (Click)
S/Z/N/T: O_o]
o_O [Snicker!]
[Sakura:(Not looking well) I think... I'm gonna be sick.
(Ninjor is sobbing as Trident has his head lowered and Zero is
muttering, "Iris" over and over. Flashman pats Sakura on the
shoulder and is caught off guard as she wraps her arms around his
neck and cries on his shoulder and he strugles as Sakura doesn't
realize her own strength.)
Boom Box: (Click) HELP! I need somebody! HELP! Not just anybody!
(Click)]
O_O Don't crush Flashman's ribs, he'd have to view the ending from a
hospital bed. Glad the scene got to you.
Ikuko closed the door and leant heavily against it. The police were
starting to search while others combed Chibi-Usa's room for clues.
She felt the warm embrace encircle her trying to provide strength.
Turning, the couple slowly made their way into the living room.
[Trident: "Leant"? Do you not mean, "leaned" or something similar?]
Actually "Leant" is a word, I'm not sure how to explain it though. It has a
similar meaning to "leaned" but it's different. Sorry I couldn't expalin
it better.
"Doing a fire reading," Makoto said testily, "I'm telling you it's
that slime Mamoru! I went over to his place last night but the coward
wasn't there."
[Sakura:(Reading from the notepad that Flashman hands her) "Whatever
happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?" Sorry Flash, this is
Japan not the US.]
We're talking about Makoto here, she the type that would shoot first then
ask questions later.
"We know it's him... or his future self. I say we track him down and
crack his head." She slammed her fist into her hand to emphasize the
point. "When I get my hands on that... that..."
[Zero: End of the line! I've been waiting since about chapter 4.]
Heh, bet you felt better for saying it.
"YOU BASTARD!" Makoto screamed and launched herself towards Mamoru.
Both sprawled to the ground.
"Nani?!?" Mamoru questioned hastily as he tried to restrain whomever
was attacking him.
"Where is she?!" Makoto cried while gripping Mamoru's head and
starting to shake him, "Where is she, you monster?!"
[Trident:(Small grin) She certainly has a... unique style that I like.
N/Z/S/F: <Raised eyebrow>
Trident: I am over 500 years old. She is most definatly jail bait.]
Well just wait for a bit and then she'll be a conscenting adult.
Sakura: And on that cheerful note...
Trident: We end the review of section three of this final chapter of
Mama's Hand.
(Flashman writes something else on the pad and hands it to Zero.)
Zero: And make sure to watch Raw Is War, this monday night and make
certain to watch out for the "May The Spirit Preserve You!" and the
"TRIO 3:16" signs. Althought, he was in the "pidgeons get
nosebleeds" section so you might not see them.
Sakura: We'll be back for the final part as soon as Flashy here gets
his voice back.
Thanks for this part as well. [Grins] Till later!
