(Sasami, dressed in a professor's robes and hat, comes onto the stage carrying a small baton and remote control. She sets these on the podium and smiles at her audience.)
SASAMI: Good afternoon, minna-san! (bows) Welcome back to Cuteness College,
where we teach you how to deal with life in an adorable and nondestructive manner.
Today, we answer mail.
(Picks up letter and begins to read aloud.)
"Dear Cuteness College, my family and I keep getting bugged by those stupid paparazzi.
How do we deal with them? Signed, Little Freedom in London."
(Smiles reassuringly at the camera, giving the impression that she's looking directly at
"Little Freedom in London.") Well, Little Freedom, I think we have just the solution for you.
(Holds up remote control and points at screen behind her.) Here is what you need:
one giant cabbit.
(Picture of a Corolla-sized cabbit appears on screen.)
We've set up a demonstration video with myself, Dai-ohki the giant cabbit,
and Kyosuke Kasuga (Picture changes to Kyosuke from KOR.), a talented young
photographer who graciously consented to act as the paparazzi. Let's watch.
(Lights dim; still picture changes to video at night, around the Masaki house. Kyosuke
is lurking around, dressed in dark clothing, with a camera and night-vision lense--okay,
so he is an off-world tabloidist ^^. He is creeping nearer to the Masaki house.)
KYOSUKE: My boss says this place is supposed t' have
some serious weirdness goin' on. (cackles to self) I snag some shots here,
I can finally get off this damned planet. (his eyes dart over to an uncurtained
and lit window.) Perfect. (starts to focus his camera when a mi-ya in
bass tones is heard behind him. Naturally, Kyosuke jerks and turns around.
Sitting behind him on its haunches is a Corolla-sized brown cabbit.)
CABBIT (in the cabbit equivalent of warning tones): Mi-ya.
(Close up on the cabbit leaning in closer to Kyosuke.
Gradually, the cabbit's face takes up the entire screen,
and the camera continues to focus on on its ever-opening mouth.
Background music during this time is the music from Jaws ^^.)
KYOSUKE (off-screen): Aaaaaaagh!
(Cut back to the porch of the Masaki house. Sasami emerges,
dressed in her typical clothes and a carrot apron. She looks sternly at the
giant cabbit, who comes waddling up with Kyosuke's legs sticking out of its
mouth. The fact that these legs are struggling and his his muffled
voice can still be heard indicate that he is still alive.)
SASAMI (in her patented Stern-Sasami voice): Dai-ohki, spit that
paparazzi out right now! You don't know where he's been!
(Dai-ohki looks at Sasami for a moment, then bobs its
head in acknowledgement and spits Kyosuke out. Once Kyosuke
is free, his cringes in fear while staring at Dai-ohki for a long moment
before running off screaming.)
(Video ends.)
(Scene shifts back to Sasami on stage.)
SASAMI:If you need one, contact Cuteness College
at 1-800-TOO-CUTE, or visit our website
at http://www.cuteness_college.edu.jri.
(End credits begin rolling.)
SASAMI (waving cheerily): Next week, we respond to Totally
Desperate in Tomobiki and his "how do I get rid of the insane
alien girl who won't leave my house and is convinced that I'm
her husband" problem! See you then!
(Fade to black.)
Sasami is the property of AIC, Pioneer, and TV Tokyo.
Kyosuke belongs to Izumi Matsumoto and Animeigo.
Cabbit belong w/ Sasami, but the giant cabbit concept is MINE ^^!
