***Sorry, I had to modify the beginning sentence; MSWord�s grammar 
thing didn�t like it. ***

After such an intense orgasm, she should have been panting heavily; 
however, she lay unnaturally still, and the rise and fall of a chest 
filling with air was curiously absent.

A few seconds passed, and her partner waited. A few more passed, and 
her partner became worried. After about twenty or so, her partner 
felt that mouth-to-mouth wasn�t working.

Finally, Hotaru opened her eyes. Her breath was regular, as was her 
heartbeat. Her partner was confused; anyone else would surely have 
had a different reaction to almost dying.

Hotaru had been nowhere near Death�s Door, truth to be told. The 
intensity of her release was too much for the mechanical part of her; 
as a failsafe, her body has shut down. It took thirty seconds for her 
involuntary motor functions to restart, and her cybernetic 
musculature reactivated soon after. She made a mental note to go over 
her power-down protocols before rising to comfort Chibi-Usa�s 
trembling form.

Heh. Do ya think that qualifies for a first attempt at a fanfic?

(alright, a little example. take ranma saotome at his peak, after he 
beats the sh*t outta saffron. have him pump iron for about three 
years strait. give him the ability to fly, have just about every 
single melee attack he does be the tenshin amagurinken, and increase 
the size of the mokou takabisha by about a factor of twenty. doing 
all that he MIGHT survive in the dbz universe.)
