Right. I don't. Fixed it.

Have to agree with the man there.
^_^ If it were any less painful, it wouldn't be funny.

So Raye really doesn't like Jade, I take it?
It's the special Anti-Possession dress! Guarunteed to scare them demons
right off! ^_^

Is Jadeite really that much smaller?
Hmmm... I'm not all that great with heights vs. sizes.
Before I caught myself, I originally had Jadeite's height at 5'6''. Later, I
decided
that she had to be shorter than Serena and Raye. Someone put Usagi's height
at 4'10'', so I put her at (flips through and reads chapter eight) 4'6'',
four inches
shorter.
So, I guess she's just barely small enough so that Raye's outfits will not fit
right on her. That's all I can guess at this point.
Actually, I'm just looking for some excuse to put Jadeite in something absurd
and
embarrassing. ^_^;;;

Probably because it isn't her. :)
Indeed. ^_^

No. Not in this lifetime. He needs to be born a woman proper to hope to
have
any grasp of it.
So very true. Personally, I think it wise to avoid going when my mother or
sisters
want to shop for clothes...

Got it. Thanks.

No, she doesn't!
Excellent! Fixed it.

ice cream.
Ah. Two words instead of one. I thought it was interchangeable...

"Bland, like your personality," Jade quipped back.
Should I use that line? Sure! ^_^
> <Heh. Time to put you out of your misery.>
Was waiting for that.
Finally. Been waiting for it until the end of chapter nine... ^_^

'felt' would probably be better since I don't think she's really 'seeing'
the energy.
I put in 'experienced.' Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting hotel they have here.
A combination mall, hotel, and soundstage.
Sounds like a convenient plot device to me...

Of course. Every cute young girl must have a lisp.

Got it. Thanks.
Nice work and moves things along better than Ami's acid trip went.
Thanks! My ego thanks you, too! I need this sort of encouragement to continue.
As for Amy's acid-trip, did anyone figure out who I was trying to parody?
Waiting to see what becomes of Jade.
I have a few ideas here and there... Maybe I'll put it to a vote! ^_^
