OK, It�s 1:15 in the morning and this idea just will not leave me.

[If I ever see P-Chan�s lover on the FFML, I will delete it unread.]  The
man at the computer thought to himself.  The den he was in looked
comfortable, but a little cramped for space.  It had a beige rocker-recliner
with matching ottoman.  There was a Blue and gray striped recliner in the
room.  The man was sitting in an office chair.  In addition, the room had:
another computer, one computer desk, two printers, two  bookcases
overflowing with books and another bookcase that held a VCR, TV and his
collection of non-anime videos.   The walls were had been sponge painted a
combination of sky blue, misty blue and daisy yellow by the previous owner.
On the walls were a picture of his oldest son, a Noah�s ark print from his
youngest son�s nursery and a memory board.

Ring.   Ring.

[Huh?  I thought that the modem was connected to the Internet.]  He thought
as he went to get the phone.

�Hello?�  He asked.

�Michael Allen, is that you?�

�Yes it is.  May I ask who�s calling please?�

�This is the shhrrr (static noise) Relief Office.  You are to receive a
wish.  Please wait right there.�

�Yeah, right.  Who is this?�

Click.

As he went back to his den, he muttered, �I can�t believe someone would call
me at ... What time is it? 11:34 at night.  Especially for some dumb prank
like that.  I guess I should have wished for some wish like: I wish I was a
character in a Japanese animation show.�

As he entered his den, he saw someone climbing out of his TV.  [Uh-oh]  �You
didn�t hear what I just said, did you?�

She glances at him and then starts twirling in the air.

[I guess she did.]

�Your wish has been granted.�

**********************

BZZZZZZZZ.    Click.

[Huh?  What happened to me?  Why am I in bed?  Let�s see, last thing I
remember is that woman twirling and saying my wish was granted.]

[OK, I can handle this.  Don�t panic.  The first thing to do is to open my
eyes.]  As his eyes open, he sees the alarm clock he just turned off.  It
looks like a typical anime alarm clock.

[OK, so far so good.  Let�s sit up and see what I can see.]  As he pushes
himself up from his side, he notices that the room he is decorated in a very
feminine style.

[Uh-oh]  He looks down at himself.  [OH NO!!  I�m a girl?!  D-d-don�t panic.
I can handle this.]  She sees that she is wearing a very delicate nightgown.
It has ruffles on the sleeves and the hem.  It has lace around the neckline.
The bedspread is a cute pink with a red rose motif.   She also notices that
she has a large bosom.  [OK, I am a girl with a large bosom.  That�s pretty
typical for an anime woman.  At least, I�m not fat or old.  I wonder who I
am.]  She sees a mirror.

Standing up, she notices that she is pretty tall for a woman.  [All right,
let�s go to the mirror and find out who I am.  I hope I�m somebody like
Ryoko, Shampoo, or Yohko.]

She looks in the mirror.  [No, I couldn�t possibly be her.  Oh please, let
me wake up! Pinch yourself hard, Mike]

AAAHHHHH!!!!!  She collapses onto the floor, crying.

[I�m awake. Oh my god.  Oh my god.  Oh god, I screwed up!]

There is a crashing at her door.  Three men and two girls are standing in
the doorway looking at her.

�Are you okay, Kasumi?�  Soun asks.

As Kasumi slowly brings her hands up to her face, she folds them into fists
and places them against her cheeks.

She looks at herself and says the only appropriate thing, �Oh my!�

[They call me Misty.]

I guess this is a penance piece for �Who�s My Mother?�  I hope you liked it.
