June 21, 1998

      "This can't be happening," a strange young man muttered to himself.
"What ever happened to the phrase, 'I wish?'" he shouted at the sky.  

      Invisible to all but the young man, a purple genie appeared before him.
"I said I'll grant you something you desire.  I did not say you could pick
it."

      "What happened to the, 'I release a genie and he'll grant me three
wishes?' "

      "What ever made you think I was a genie, I'm a djiin."

      *This is not going well,* the young man thought.  "What's the
difference?"

      "I'm evil!"

      Not liking the answer, The young man with black hair and glasses started
to back away from the floating aborition.

      "Do you seriously expect me to kill the man that released me from my
three millennium imprisonment?"

      "Yes," I answered in a meek voice.

      The djiin started to laugh, "I will not kill you.  Rather I would like
to have some fun while granting you one of your heart's desire."

      A bit curious, "That is?"

      "Meeting one of those females in that magic picture box of yours."

      *This is not good,* I thought,  *I just finished watching 40 straight
hours of anime.*  A little confused, I looked up at the djiin, "Which anime am
I in?  I was watching Ranma, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor
Moon, and Rurounin Kenshin at the time."

      Laughing louder, "That is where the fun shall be.  You shall be in all
of them.  Each time you die, you will be transported to another series and
only when you have completely leaped through all five series shall I return
you home."

      "Great, all I have to do is die five tim......" Stopping to check if I
heard correctly, "What!!!!!!!!!" I shouted.

      "You heard correctly.  Each time you die, you will be transported to
another anime series.  There are some rules though, they being: You can not
kill yourself and you can not ask others to help you return home.  Other than
that, you are free to do whatever you want.  I have also granted you
immortality, you will never age but you can still be killed, and the abilities
to speak any language you hear.  I wouldn't want you to die of old age, that
would be quite a waste of my time, and though the thought of you stumbling
around trying to understand what people are saying would be enjoyable, it
would not last long."

      "You're having fun, aren't you?"

      "Yes.  Here are five gold coins to help you on your way.  Don't want you
to die of starvation or something like that.  Well have fun, I know I will."

      "Gee, thanks."  I answered sarcasticly.  *At least I now have money.*
Watching the djiin disappear, "Wait, what anime am I in right now?"

      In a fading voice, "You'll find out."

      "Jerk," I muttered.

      "I heard that," the wind seems to whisper.

      *At least he can't read my thoughts that stupid, arrogant, #$@%#@!#@$#%#
*  After I finished trying to mentally insult the djiin, I found myself in the
air and falling down towards the ground.  *Okay so he can read my thoughts as
well,* looking at the ground closing in on me, *This is going to hurt.*
Closing my eyes I was surprised when I discovered that I wasn't hurt that
much.  *Never thought the ground would be this soft.  Maybe that is why
everyone who falls from the sky never got hurt that much in those animes.*  My
thought process was cut short when I heard a low moaning coming from beneath
me.  Looking down, I discovered that I was lying on top of someone.  That
someone being female.  *Oh man, this is not good,* I thought, quickly getting
off of her.  Looking around for help and finding none, I decied to check to
see if she was alright.  Seeing that her chest was raising and falling on
their own, I sighed in relief.  *She is sure attractive," I thought before I
realized that she had purple hair.  Taking a closer look, *She looks like
Shampoo.*  Noticing that she was waking up, *She's going to kill me.*

      Seeing a boy in front of her with glasses, *Hiya! Mousse can't have
beaten, Shampoo*

      "Huh, hi.  Please don't kill me.  It was all an accident." I pleaded.
After watching every single episode of Rama 1/2 released in the US, I had a
fairly good idea how she was capable of.

      Seeing that the boy that had defeated her was not Mousse, Shampoo sighed
with relief before realizing that another male outsider had defeated her.
"Hiya, Shampoo lost again, must tell Great grandmother right away.  She know
what to do." Shampoo spoke in Chinese.

     At first, Long did not know what Shampoo was saying, then suddenly, it
seems a door opened within his mind and he caught the last statement, "She
know what to do."  Before he could ask what she meant, Long gasped at the
speed she was running.  *Amazing!*
