Redhead MSTs...
(We open the story in a dungeon...Andrew & A-ko are chained up together
while Washu is trapped in a test-tube. Meanwhile Lina is wrapped up by a
tenticle monster, however, they are keeping away from her breast...urk!)
Lina (after kicking narrator in the groin): I can't help it that I'm a
A-size cup!
A-ko: You're not even wearing a bra, Lina.
Lina: Hey!
Andrew: Say, where's Ranma? (They all look over to see Ranma purring,
surrounded by cabbits.)
Washu: Ryo-ok-hi! What are you doing here?
Ryo-ok-hi: Miya!
Andrew: You were in the neighborhood and wanted to say hi? (Ryo-ok-hi nods.)
(The chamberdoor opens. A young woman appears. She has brown hair and
wearing a sapphire blue gown.)
Woman: Ah, yes. Do you know why you are here?
A-ko: Um, why?
Woman: You have trespassed MY kingdom! Such traitors will face the ultimate
punishment.
A-ko: What, sending us to a Hentaii fic?
Andrew: Having to endure a 12-course meal prepared by C-ko & Akane? (A-ko &
Ranma-neko shudder at the thought.)
Woman: No, having to view a Sailor Moon fic.
Everyone: Noooo! (Ranma hisses.)
Woman: There is a way that you could get out of this.
Washu: How?
Woman: I want to marry you, boy! (She points to Andrew.) You look like that
Leo DiCaprio guy!
Andrew: Waait a minute! I'm not gonna get involved in some kind of marriage
scheme. Besides, who are you? Besides, Leo DiCaprio has been dead for years.
Woman: I'm Princess Nausicaa, and this is my kingdom of the Valley of the
Winds. And about Leo, well, his Titanic as been on television for hundreds
of years!
Andrew: That dang ship. I *new* it would never die!
Nausicaa: Well, are you going to marry me, or are you gonna suffer the
consequences?
Andrew: What about Ranma?
Nausicaa: Oh, he's chosen for. Oh, Shampoo! (Shampoo comes out.)
Shampoo: Ranma! Shampoo here to take you away from no good pervert girls.
Say, who's brick-wall girl? (Lina gets really steamed.)
Lina: My breast aren't that small!
Shampoo: Oh, yeah? (She pulls out Happousai. She throws Happousai onto
Lina's chest. He screams and then he explodes, taking out 3/4 of the
castle.) See. (Shampoo looks around and sees the amount of destruction.)
Oops. Sorry, Nausicaa.
Nausicaa: That's okay, Shampoo. I needed a new castle anyway.
Andrew (to Lina): Say, I wonder if Lum would be interested in getting rid
of Ataru's pervertness.
Lina: Don't you start!
Andrew: Nausicaa, dear. I'd love to chat with you, but I can't leave Ranma
with Shampoo.
Nausicaa: Why not?
Andrew: It's not in my contract. (He holds up a really long contract.)
Nausicaa: Drat! Then, come, my Amazon Princess! We'll leave these wretched
people to suffer their fate! (They leave, slamming the door.)
Andrew: Okay, Ranma. You can stop acting now. (Ranma stops purring. Pulls
out a glass of cold water, and throws it on him.)
Ranma-chan: Thanks.
Washu: You mean, you're not affected at all by Neko-ken?
Ranma-chan: Nah, it's all an act. I've been cured of it for while now. I
still do that, so I could take advantage of the psychological insanity
that results.
Lina: But...but...
Ranma-chan: Well, I've been talking to my inner cat and we've come to an
agreement. She'll control me when I'm sleeping, and I'll be myself when I'm
awake. You know, cats love to sleep. Although this one wants me to try
lasagna.
Andrew: Who'd did Genma put in that cage with you...Garfield?

THE PAST....
<The gardens are always so peaceful at this time of year> Queen
Serenity thought as she gazed across the Royal Gardens of the Moon
Kingdom.
Lina (imit. Q. Serenity): Especially after I've fed my carvnorious plants.
Above the gardens, one could see the massive, but delicate
starsailers that transversed the planets of the Silver Milennium, via
the teleportation jump points.
Andrew: Unfortunately, traffic was back up all the way to Mercury.
Queen Serenity looked up as a jump point flared into existence and
disgorged a ship.
Ranma-chan: Must have been the same one that took those Otakus to our world.
Andrew: Which fic was that?
Ranma-chan: The classic, "When Self-Insertion Fic Go Wrong," by A.C.
Barnes. I loved it.
Washu: Hmm...I wonder if I could get some clueless fan-fic writers to find
their way to the Tenchi Muyo universe!
Lina: Actually, I'd like to get my hands on that Stephan Gagne guy. I
couldn't have a alternative world where I had bad luck, and lost
everything! I mean I couldn't have possibly ended up like her!
A-ko: Well, Lina, one of things you've got to learn is that if there was no
bad luck, you'd had no luck at all.
Andrew: Well, I do like "Slayers: Reflect." Can we get on with this?
Looking closer, Serenity could see the flag of the
Earth Kingdom on the side of the ship. <Hmm...Endymion has arrived,
with good news, I pray.> She smiled. <At least I can tell my daughter
that her beloved has arrived safely.> Queen Serenity made her way out
into the gardens, where her daughter, Princess Serenity, was picking
flowers.
Andrew: Shouldn't she be "Serenity, Jr.?"
Lina: Girls don't get "Juniors!" names attached to them.
Andrew: How's I suppose to know. I'm not a girl! (Lina really gets mad.)
Lina: Transform mongify! (Poof! Andrew's now a red-headed girl with very
long hair reaching down to her ankles and have breast that out beat Mai
("Me Bouncy") Shiranui from King of Fighter '95. Lina smiles.) Hey, that
worked!
Andrew-chan: Uh, Ranma-chan, can I get some hot water?
Ranma-chan: Sorry.
When Serenity was a few feet away, the princess noticed her, and her
face lit up. "Hello Mother! Isn't it just a perfect day!"
Lina (imit. P. Serenity): Oh, by the way, I've been kicked out of the
University for maintaining a 1.43 GPA.
A-ko: Hey, who'd expect blondes to be smart anyway? At least C-ko isn't.
Queen Serenity had to fight to keep a straight face. "Yes, it is
Serenity, and here is something to make that day more perfect. A ship
just arrived.....from the Earth Kingdom."
Princess Serenity's eyes went wide, and a hand shot up to her mouth.
"Then this....this means...."
Andrew-chan (imit. Q. Serenity): That's right. Those Starship Troopers are
coming over to get rid of those huge bugs.
A-ko (imit. P. Serenity): Aw, mom! Couldn't we have called Orkin?
"Yes, Prince Endymion will probally be on that ship." Queen Serenity
said, her face finally breaking into a smile. "In fact, it should be
landing now, so you might want to be there. You know, to represent the
Moon Kingdom and welcome our representives from Earth." she added with
a wink to her daughter.
Washu: The wink was enough to distract Princess Serenity while her mother
stuffed a couple of condoms down her dress.
Princess Serenity smiled at the wordplay from her mother.
(Ranma winces.)
A-ko: You're right Ranma. That's a very bad pun.
"Of
course, but you will be there as well, right? The other ambassadors-and
Endy-chan...I mean, Prince Endymion-might want to meet with you as
well."
Queen Serenity smiled. "Of course. Tell the Earth party that I
will be along in a few minutes. After all, you have not seen Endymion
in some time. You can have those few moments before I arrive."
Andrew (imitiating Q. Serenity): And if I don't get there in the next 15
minutes, their next party is free. (And there was much rejoicing.)
Princess Serenity jumped up and hugged her mother. "Thank you,
Mother. I'll go and do that." She turned to go, then turned around.
"Oh, I almost forgot. These are for you."
Her daughter handed Serenity a bouquet of flowers. "Happy Mother's
Day." Princess Serenity said.
Queen Serenity's eyes shone with tears. "Thank you, my daughter
Serenity." Queen hugged Princess, then the younger Serenity rushed off
to meet the Earth ship...and her beloved, Prince Endymion.
(Andrew-chan pulls out a airplane puking bag and does just that.)
A-ko: I take it you're not into Sailor Moon at all. (Andrew-chan shakes her
head no.)
Queen Serenity looked at the flowers in her hands, and then looked
up into the sky. <Yes, it has turned out to be a perfect day.>
Everyone: Yeah, right!
***************
The Moon Kingdom was in flames.
Washu: And Queen Serenity was playing the violin.
Andrew-chan: It was the world's smallest violin, playing, "My Heart Bleeds
for Thee."
Queen Serenity lay against a broken pillar in the remains of the
gardens, having just sent her daughter and as many of the population as
she could to the future and now, she lay dying. Gasping for air, she
gave her final instructions to her two advisors, Luna and Artemis.
"Please watch over my daughter. Help her grow into the Queen she is
destined to be. I can guide her from time to time, but you have to
watch over her. Please...."
Ranma: Trust me, cats do not make great advisors. They'd advise *only*
after a lot of sleep and eating.
Lina: I wonder what would have happened if Catbert was Queen Serenity's
advisor? (Everyone else big-sweats.)
A-ko: Let's not go there.
The two Moon Cats nodded their asessment, and Queen Serenity sent
them to the future. Soon, Serenity could see a figure approach.
Taking a closer look, she could see that the woman was dressed in a
blue kimino, had hair colored a deeper blue, and appeared to be riding
a oar.
Ranma-chan: I didn't know Ukyou was the grim reaper's wife.
Lina: I doubt it. This is you being hit by a spatula. (Pulls out a spatula
and waps him with it.) This is you being hit by an oar. (Pulls out an oar
and baps him with it.) Any questions?
Ranma-chan (looking dizzy): Nnnoo. (She faints.)
Serenity smirked. "I always thought you would have a scythe..."
The woman laughed. "Nope, that's Grim's look. He's over at Mars
right now. Thanks to Metallia, we're kinda swamped." The woman
sobered up. "It's time, your Majesty."
Lina (singing): "By the last breath of the fourth winds blow/Better raise
your ears..."
A-ko (singing): "The sound of hooves knocks at your door/Lock up your wife
and children now..."
Andrew-chan (to audience): Five points if you could name the band, 15
points if you could name the song.
(Lina & A-ko finish up the song while Ranma-chan, and Washu are
head-banging. The tenticles are holding up cigarette lighters. This causes
Lina to fall to the ground.)
"I know. I will be able to watch over my daughter, right?"
The woman nodded. "It is so written, and it must come to pass, or
the future will not be."
Serenity blinked. "Are you, in any way, related to Pluto?"
"Fifth cousin, twice removed."
Ranma-chan (imit. Mrs. Reaper): I also run an okonomiyaki shop in my spare
time.
Andrew-chan: Enough with the Ukyou references, Ranma! She's not the Grim
Reaper's wife!
"Ah."
Serenity took the woman's hand, and Queen Serenity, ruler of the
late Moon Kingdom, passed on to her well deserved (and ocassionally
interruppted) eternal rest.
The Silver Crystal, without a member of the house of Serenity to
guide it, split into seven rainbow crystals and sped off to Earth.
Andrew-chan: Last crystal there is a kunzite! (Everyone else hits
Andrew-chan.) Hey, I can't help it if my last names' a part of an evil
general.
Washu: Do you realize that Sailor Moon falls in love with Andrew, a
character on the American/dubbed Sailor Moon series? (Andrew shrieks.) I
take it as a no.
THE NEAR PRESENT....
"Erica Louise Carter."
A-ko: I didn't do anything!
A woman with red hair (and future cadet in the young Earth Defense
Force) stepped up to the podium to accept her diploma. As she did so,
a section of the stadium burst into cheers. Erica Carter looked up to
the section, where her mother was leading the rest of her family in
cheering for their daughter in graduating from high school.
Andrew-chan: Eh, it isn't a great high school.
Lina: How do you know?
Andrew-chan: Here. (Andrew pulls out a diploma. It reads:"Certified that
<your name here> graduated from Tokyo High Scool.")
<Thank you, Mom> Erica thought.
Washu (imitating Erica's mom): Hey! Where are you! You never call! You
never write, either!
Ranma-chan: Say, Washu, what did Ryoko give to you for Mother's Day? (Washu
gets all bugged out before she starts to bawl.)
THE PRESENT....
A woman with odangoes sat in her room, trying to adjust her robe so
it would fit right. There was a knock on the door.
Andrew-chan: Um, what's an "odangoes?"
"Come in!" Usagi Tuskino called, and resumed her vain struggle.
Ikuko Tuskino walked into her daughter's room and just stood there
for a second, watching her only daughter's attempts to get her
graduation robes to fit. <Kami-sama, how we have waited for this day!
Usagi actually managed to gradauate!>
Lina (imitiating Usagi): Why did that baka of a principle want us to wear
hula skirts as part of our graduation?
Ranma-chan: Um, Lina, I think you've got her principle confused with MY
principle.
A-ko: You, Ranma Saotome, have principles? (Ranma-chan growls at A-ko.)
Andrew-chan: Now you'd think that there would be a Sailor Moon graduation
dress, would there?
Seeing her mother standing there, Usagi looked at her with a
pleading expression. "Mom, can you help me with this? The zipper seems
to be stuck."
Washu: Ikuku finds several condoms stuck between the zipper and the dress
she was wearing.
Everyone else: WASHU!
Washu: Sorry, I'm just a little horny, sometimes.
Lina: Hentai is more like it.
Ikuko went over to Usagi's bed and looked at the stubborn zipper.
"Usagi....the zipper is caught on the fabric of the robe. That's why
it won't close." she said, leveling a look at her daughter.
Usagi, for her part, managed to look sheepish. "Uhh...ooooppps. I
can't imagine how that happened." she said, with a sweatdrop appearing
on her.
Ikuko sighed and started to undo the zipper, when Usagi stopped her
for a second. "Just a sec, Mom." she said, and reached behind her for
a package. "This is for you."
Ikuko took the package and unwrapped it, and found it to be a
beautiful crystal rose statue. Near the base of the statue, was a
small crescent moon.
Andrew-chan: Now, you'd think Usagi would think of something besides moons
to give to her mom.
Lina: Say, Ranma, what did you give Nodoka for Mother's Day? (Ranma gets a
nosebleed and faints.) I take it you've haven't done it, yet.
Ikuko looked up at Usagi, who simply said, "Happy Mother's Day,
Mom."
The emotional moment that followed will not be described here, for
the reason that the sheer emotions involved would probally knock almost
anyone else out. Trust me, it was a true WAFF moment.
(Andrew-chan pulls out another bag and pukes into it.)
******************
"Usagi Tuskino."
As Usagi went on the stage to accept her diploma, someone muttered
"The world is ending now."
Andrew-chan (singing): "It's the end of the world as we know it..."
Everyone else (singing): ... and I feel fine!"
Said person was promptly bapped on the head by the following: One
martial artist (and his fiancee, who was using a rather large hammer),
Ranma-chan: Hey, I got a cameo! How come all my fiancees have absurdly big
weapons?
one oknomayki chef (with a absurdly large spatula),
Lina: Which is not an oar! (She pulls out a spatula and an oar and belts
him from both sides at the same time.)
Ranma-chan: Okay, okay, I got your point!!!
one seemingly
normal boy, two women with spiked hair, one woman with purple hair tied
back into two tails,
Washu: Wai! That's me, my daughter and my favorite experimental subject,
Tenchi!
Ryo-ok-hi: Miaa?
Washu: Sorry, Ryo-ok-hi, you didn't get a cameo. (Ryo-ok-hi growls and then
runs off to find Mr. Yaple, and give him a "what-for-@bap." The other
cabbits follow her.)
five Senshi (one Inner, four Outers, all in human
form), one black haired man wearing a dark green jacket, four Iczelions
(in human form), four Iczels (very quickly before teleporting out
again), two parents, one little brother (and his date Mika), five EDF
soldiers, one pink haired girl, someone dressed in yellow and blue
spandex (and carrying a sword) and three goddesses (and their brother).
A-ko: And a partridge in a pair tree.
Andrew-chan: Hmm...I wonder if Chris "God-boy" Angel gave his blesing
before he got his cameo.
Lina: Same for the Flashman.
Washu, Ranma, & A-ko( all are counting their money): Only if he got paid!
(They grin.)
Lina: Figures. How come I don't get a cameo in some fic?
Andrew-chan: You're not attractive enough. You'd make the walls seem more
sexy. (Lina hits him, then realizes that the tenticals are about to reach
her.)
Lina: Stand in!
Everyone else: Stand-in?
(La Blue Girl appears out of nowhere. Lina throws her to the tenticles. In
about 20 minutes, La Blue Girl climaxes, the tenticles withers away and die
out. The girls have a nose-bleed, except Lina.)
Lina (to Ranma & Andrew-chan): How come you didn't get a nose-bleed.
Andrew-chan: Well, I've always found "La Blue Girl" to be to damn funny to
work for me.
Ranma: I've been there, done that. Got the t-shirt. (La Blue Girl appears
with a T-shirt reading, "I've been f--- by alien monsters, and all I got
was this lousy shirt.")
One thing was immediately sure: Gendou Rokubungi would have one heck
of a headache later.
Andrew-chan: Not as much as what I'm getting with this fic.
Blissfully unaware of all of this, Usagi Tuskino accepted her
diploma, and thus, graduated from Juban High School. Destiny was on
it's way.
THE NEAR FUTURE....
Auska Langley Soryu rolled over in her sleep.
"Mama......"
THE FAR FUTURE....
Neo-Queen Serenity laid a flower arrangement on the lunar surface
beside the gravestone marking her mother's resting place. Nearby, her
daughter Chibi-Usa, also known as Celestial Sailor Moon now, stood with
her father King Endymion.
"Happy Mother's Day, mama." Neo-Queen Serenity whispered to the
marker.
Washu: The marker told her daughter to clean her room.
*****************
Over on the planet Earth, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean
>from Crystal Tokyo, two mecha landed in a area that, long ago, had been
a bustling city.
Gravestones now lined the ground, put there during the Reconstuction
to remember those who died there.
The pilots of those two mecha walked along the rows of markers until
they found the one they were looking for. The red haired pilot looked
at the gravestone:
"Louise Carter: 1965-1992"
The red haired pilot put a flower on the gravestone.
"Happy Mother's Day, Mom." Major Erica Carter, of the new Terran
Federation Armed Forces, said.
Her soulmate (and wife), Major Julia Martins, laid her hand on
Erica's shoulder, and joined her lover in a moment of silence. Then
she looked at her watch.
"Erica, we have to go. The ceremony is in a few hours."
Erica rose, and placing a kiss on the gravestone, and another one
near it, the two pilots raced to their waiting Excalibur mecha.
Andrew-chan: Now that was nice.
*************************
Heading back over the Pacific, Erica could have sworn she had seen a
humpback whale surface with a young girl nearby, out in the open water.
She blinked and attributed it to the long flight.
A-ko: In which she muttered...
Lina (imitiating Erica): Damn Disney freak!
*************************
Shinji Ikari kneeled my a gravestone.
"Thank you, mother."
Shinji's wife clasped her husband's shoulder. "Dear, we have to go,
the ceremony is in a hour."
"I know. Just let me have one more minute. Okay?"
"Okay, love."
Ranma-chan (imit. Shinji's wife): Time's up!
The two persons, both veterans of a long and brutal war, knelt in
prayer and rememberance by the gravestone.
*****************************
The auditorium was packed, and not just with waiting parents and
friends. Lots of royalty, both on world and off, were in the audience
tonight, for an event celebrated the world over.
Graduation. In particular, graduation from Crystal Tokyo
University.
A-ko: "Crystal Tokyo University, where your goals to success are crystal
clear!" (Everyone else beats up on A-ko, even La Blue Girl.)
"Sasami Masaki."
A woman with blue hair tied up in pigtails strolled up to the podium
to receive her diploma, pausing to wave at her parents and step-sister.
"Natsumi Kai."
A woman with short brown hair recieved her diploma, and waved at her
parents.
"Yui Ikari."
A woman with long brown hair strolled up to the podium and paused
long enough to flash a victory sign at her parents.
"Alex Christoph."
A man with short red hair went up to the podium, got his diploma,
bowed, and then turned around and jumped off the stage, all the while
flashing a "V" sign at his parents.
"Nicole Marie Carter, class president."
A woman, with blonde hair and brown eyes, strode up to the podium to
receive her diploma, looking at her parents, who were sitting with
Neo-Queen Serenity and the rest of her Court.
<Arigato, mamas> she thought.
Washu: She then realized that there were condoms in her and in her cap.
A-ko: That does it! (A-ko breaks her chains, smashes the capsule that traps
Washu, and then smacks her in the face.
Washu (looking dizzy): Thanks...I needed that. (*FWHUMP!*)
-------------------------------------------------
End of Pomp and Circumstances
-------------------------------------------------
Author's Notes:
Whew! It's done. My second "one shot, all done" fanfic. Meaning no
"part N" or whatever (started at 9:30 Friday night and finished at
12:30 AM on the same night).
Okay, who caught the Yu Yu Hakusho reference?
(Everyone looks silent.)
La Blue Girl: Must have been the death scene with Queen Serenity.
Everyone: Oh.
La Blue Girl: Of course, you're not entirely wrong with Ukyou, she is her
twin sister.(Everyone faints. To audience) Of course I made that up.
For those who did, and feel they're up to a bigger challenge, I put
a reference to another series, outside of anime, in the story. Hint:
Only those from the Land Down Under will probally get this one.
Andrew-chan: That *has* to refer to the whale scene. I still don't know
what Australian show or movie he's talking about, though.
Ahh, Gendou bashing. How I love to do it. <grin> Yes, I put
Flashman in there. I hope he doesn't mind, since the scene was about
Usagi, his favorite, as I can recall.
Andrew-chan: Speaking of Flashman, has he ever considered doing a side-show
fight between DoCo and Spice Girls?
A-ko: Let's not go there. Besides, I'll probably end up refereeing that
whole fight thing.
Okay, now for the big question: Why the heck was this story done?
Two reasons:
1) I wanted to do something special for the spring
graduates of my senior class (not that they'll ever see this)
Lina: They would laugh at it, anyway.
2) Graduation just happens to fall on Mother's Day.
Thus, this story was born.
Sharp-eyes readers will be able to catch a hint of how Destiny's
Path will end, though I'm keeping the actual parentage of some of the
children secret until such time.
Yes, you read it right, that wasn't a typo: Nicole's parents are
Erica Carter and Julia Martins. How? Two words: Instant Nannichuan.
I *told* you Sasami was going to be back. Now get the Chicken
Cannons off my back. :-)
Ranma-chan: The last time those cannons were used was a riot!
I guess that's it. All series cited in this story are copyright
their original owners, companies, and NA distributors. I'm not doing
this for profit, only for fun. I'm also a college student, so suing me
would be next to worthless.
Dedication: The Spring Graduates of the Class of 1998 of Gannon
University and all graduates out there: May your wings carry you to
wherever you plan to go in life.
(Andrew-chan starts to cry. A-ko frees him.)
To all mothers out there: Thank you, for everything.
(Washu starts to bawl, joins Andrew-chan.)
To my own mother: Karen Yaple: for raising me and my sisters all
these years, and putting up with our <cough, cough> little intricacies
over the years.
(Lina now joins the crying fest.)
I think Chibi-Usa said it best, in the closing moments of
the last Sailor Moon R episode:
(Everyone is now wailing, including the La Blue Girl.)
"Arigato, Momma."
