    Here's the challenge:  Finish this in such a way that the character
either doesn't get his wish the way he wanted it, or he regrets even wishing
it.  Use any Anime character you like, any theme.  But he/she mustn't enjoy
his wish too much, or more preferably, he doesn't get exactly what he wants.

Minus several million points for originality.  Y'know, I don't think I've
_ever_ read a story involving a wish-granting entity in which the wisher got
exactly what he wanted, or was satisfied by it.  It would probably be a bigger
challenge to write a story in which the person doing the wishing _did_ get
exactly what he wanted, and was satisfied with it.  Or, alternately, doesn't
get what he wants, but is satisfied with it anyways.  (Well, I suppose Oh!
My Goddess! falls into this category...)

Anyways, here's a challenge of my own:  Write a story in which one of the
characters utters the following quote:

"Pardon me, [sir|madam], but that's _my_ anus."

Bonus points if it's not lemony.  Points get deducted if it's a non-sequitur.
