Hi all.  My name is Jennifer.  I just joined this ML yesterday.  I
wasn't going to post anything for a while because I get too nervous
about publicly exposing myself like this.  Hmm.  Maybe that was a bad
way to phrase that, especially since I know at least a few people on
this list.  But I noticed the adfics being posted and I thought of this
one that I couldn't help writing.  With the 24 hr ultimatum I figured
that if I didn't post it now that it wouldn't get posted at all.  Sorry
if the concept has already been used -- like I said, I only joined
yesterday so I don't know exactly what's already been written.  I've
written some other short stories and a couple of longer ones in the
past, some of which are posted on my web page if anyone is interested
(http:\www.topher.net\~jcaliff\iserlohn.htm).  I usually write parodies,
but I'm thinking of writing some more serious stories.  Anyway, here's
the 'fic.

Onsen

Yuu and Miki are on a trip together staying at a hot spring.  It's
evening and they are sitting next to each other.  The fireflies are out
and the gurgle of running water can be heard in the background.  Yuu
reaches over and puts his arm around Miki's shoulder.  Miki's heart
begins to beat wildly and her cheeks turn red.  

"Yuu," she whispers nervously.  She starts to pull away but forces
herself to relax.  
*No,* she thinks to herself,  *Whatever happens tonight, I won't regret
it.*  She draws closer to Yuu and looks up into his eyes.  Closer,
closer, until they are just about to kiss.

Suddenly there is a loud SPLASH and the sound of a horse whinnying from
the darkness.  Startled, Yuu and Miki pull apart. 

"Who's there?" Yuu calls into the night.  Dripping wet, a man wearing a
suit of armor steps out of the darkness.  He stands up straight and
speaks in a deep voice.

"I'm Trojan Man."

Chorus sings:  "TROJAN MAN"

"Ah, young people in love on a hot summer night.  What a beautiful
sight!  But on a night like this you're obviously not only thinking
about the stars and the moon.  What you should be thinking about is
protection, and I'm not talking about mosquito repellant."

Yuu and Miki both swallow loudly and blush bright red.  

"Whatever type you use, Trojan brand latex condoms will give you the
protection you need without sacrificing the sensitivity you desire.
Here you go, kid."  Trojan Man tosses a pack of condoms to Yuu who
barely catches them.  If at all possible, he blushes an even brighter
shade of red while Miki looks straight down at her lap.

"Th-th-thank you, Trojan Man," Yuu whispers hoarsely.

"Anytime my friend!"  Trojan Man turns around and puts his hands on his
hips.  "As long as I'm here I may as well enjoy the facilities.  I
haven't had a good hot bath in months!"  

Chorus sings: "TROJAN MAN"

"Uh, I didn't really mean that the way it sounded.  I just meant that I
usually take showers."

Fade out.
