And moving on to finish December:

The Deathbuster trio ran through a thick, dense jungle.

The leader huffed and puffed as they hoofed along the half-
overgrown trail. She was a young woman with short spiky pink hair,

short, spiky, pink hair

"Coup," Kalypsoe breathed, pushing his visor back against the
bridge of his nose. "Coup De'taut."

Did they really talk this badly?

"Now, get'cher stuff out," Chidicyte drawled. She snapped her
fingers and a large rucksack appeared in the middle of the floor
between them.

Dementoe flipped the sack open and withdrew his big, extendable
ten-million-volt cattle prod. "Jah!"

Yeah, that will do it.

Once inside the doorway, the Deathbusters rushed down the
hallway, which opened up into a gigantic, cavernous room, filled
with hot ovens, conveyor belts and a network of catwalks leading
between them.

Pretty much your typical enemy outpost. :)

"Zhey are zhtill comingck!" the hunchback warned, pointing
at the doorway, which had a batch of three-foot-tall white bunny
rabbits in pink and white-highlighted sailor suits hopping through
it.

This is so evil, even I have problems grasping it. :)

The only vehicle in the entire parking lot was a big Mack
Truck with the door open and the engine running.

Heh

"Vuundabaar!"

Kalypsoe: The Vunderbar? Sure, let's go there and grab a few drinks.

"Whatta way ta kick some sailor-beastie tail, eh?!" Kalypsoe
half-shouted, reclining backward with his arms folded.

A few minutes later, they made it back into Tokyo city limits.

Heh

*Whump* The exit was not where he expected it to be. Still on
autopilot, he slammed facefirst into the wall.

*Whump* His mind didn't register the first or second impact,
nor the third.

Like me most mornings.

Scanning around, he caught sight of his goal: The

the

refrigerator.

The drink wasn't quite enough to jump-start his system, but it
was better than nothing. He scaled back up the stairs and entered the
bathroom.

Now at this point, I think he's going to realize something is wrong.

Then, a fourteen-year-old with exceptionally long blonde
hair walked in. She fell flat on her face and stood back up again.
"Ara," she breathed, covering her mouth. "Nani o suru, Chibiusa-
chan?!"

Heh. That does make quite the sight. Nice work

"What have you been on since you went back to the future?!"

"Nothing, Usagi!" Jason insisted, nonchalantly grabbing for a
towel and quickly wiping the cream off Chibiusa's face. "You must be
dreaming. It's really early. You should go back to bed. Right now."

The blonde paused, blinked a few times, then yawned. "Maybe
you're right. I must be dreaming."

Heh. She is rather easy to fool

"Wha...?" Chibiusa didn't catch any of that.

If Ben could have sighed, he would have. "We're your imaginary
friends, Chibiusa. We've come to have fun with you."

That should work

A mental shrug later, Ben decided that if moral implications
were ever going to slow him down, he would have stopped the whole
experiment a very long time ago.

True

"Kill Usagi? Why?" Chibiusa asked in a puzzled voice.

Usagi stiffened and opened one eye to stare at her future
daughter.

Oh, this should be absolutely delightful. You're taking this to very wicked
extremes.

"Lots of death, carnage and giant badgers," Ben said.

"Lots of death, carnage and giant badgers," Chibiusa repeated
reflexively. She paused to rub her head. "Hey! That's not it."

But it was the fun answer.

"I sure hope that she doesn't pick up any of Usagi's
stupidity," Rei muttered.

At this point Ben should tell CU to say. "You're right. I'd much rather pick
up some of your stupidity."

"REI!" Usagi shouted, diving at her friend and grabbing her
by the collar, shaking violently. "WHAT DID YOU TELL CHIBIUSA?!?!!?"

Heh

Chibiusa's heart raced as Jason sprinted up to the leafy
blockade. He made a great, big flying leap through them...

...and landed right into Chiba Mamoru's outstretched arms.

Ewww.

"I don't see why not," Jason whispered back, "Don't get me
wrong, I like her and all, but destiny is -waaaay- overrated.

Indeed. It's been my experience that destiny is what you make of it. :)

"Yeah, much as I'd -like- to, I can't hold a grudge for more
than a couple of hours."

"It's only been a few minutes."

"Hey, I might still be mad at you and be

drop 'be'

"So, I'm betting that the whole SI thing'll end when the S
series finishes off, and that's when Pharaoh Ninety gets taken care
of and the pink one here tries to go back to the future."

"Wow! You two know the future?" Chibiusa asked in awe. "Can
you tell me who my future boyfriend's gonna be?"

Ben: You ever see old 21st century films of that Tom Green guy?

Hotaru watched as the little pink-haired girl jerked sharply to
the left, then to the right and back around a few times. Suddenly,
her eyes widened in comprehension. "Seizures..."

Heh

*BZZRT!* Chibiusa once again took control of her own body.

Ben laughed softly. "Heh, figured it out again, eh?"

"Hotaru-chan," Chibiusa said, "don't be sad. I know what it's
like to not have any friends. Back home, I don't have any either."

Hotaru: I'm not surprised. Frankly, you're annoying.

there for a formal tea ceremony. If we asked, I'm sure they'll let us
watch or participate."

"Sure, let's go!" Chibiusa hastily agreed, willing to do just
about anything with frail girl. "That could be fun! I've never been
to a tea ceremony. What are they like?"

"Well, they're sort of involved, but I think everyone should
see it at least once."

one

The witch turned to her daimon. "Err, well, Chagauma, I'll let
you handle them, goodbye!" She turned and tried to grasp the handle
of her door, but the second she did, it moved out of her reach.

*VROOOM!* The van sped backwards. A girl with fluffy pink hair
grinned maliciously and waved back from behind the steering wheel as
the car backed out of the bushes and slipped out of sight.

Heh. Cute

*RRRRRRRK!!!* The van skid

skidded

"Hotaru?!" Jason asked urgently, patting the larger girl on
the shoulder. "Hotaru!"

The girl turned to face him, tears in her eyes. They were
not, however, tears of sadness. She threw her head back and giggled
uncontrollably. "That was GREAT!" She laughed a little harder and
scooted in closer to give Jason a quick hug. "That's what I like
about you, Chibiusa-chan! You're crazy."

Heh. Nice to see the effect this had on her.

"Nothing," Neptune replied for her companion, then took the
blonde Outer Senshi by the arm and led her away. "Please continue."

Hehehe

The frail girl nodded pleasantly. "He is." She pointed at the
ponytailed blonde. "Who is she, Chibiusa-chan?"

"That my,"

That's

Usagi, Haruka and Michiru ran out of the building in disturbed
shock, not saying a single word. Chibiusa fainted, leaving Jason in
control.

"This is different," Hotaru noted to her friend.

Jason shrugged as the tea was quickly made. "Yeah, I guess."
Looking over at the tea that was being made, he asked the sailor-
suited boy, "Does that have caffeinne in it?"

caffine (I think)

Very amusing work. Wouldn't mind seeing it continued at all.
