Now to finally give C&C for this.

I decided to be a bastard and send this out now, despite the fact I won't

be

working on it for a couple of months most likely (but you never know with
the muse). But I couldn't resist writing it out now, so anxious I am to

get

working on it. So here we go...


The Things We Wish For...

Prologue

Wondering, is this the next fic you'll be working on?  Or will it be
more Avenging?

A pair of eyes half the scroll's age widened. An astonished smile

broadened

across Happosai's features as he read the ancient characters contained on
the scroll. "Why, this isn't a recipe for an aphrodisiac at all. It's a

wish

scroll."

Happi + Wishing Item = Not a good thing ^_^

Tears filled the ancient master's eyes as the full impact of what he held

in

his withered hands struck him. Back when he had first come across the

scroll

during a tour of the Middle East some fifty years ago, he had been certain
he had overheard that sheik say the parchment held a recipe for some sort

of

potion to increase one's amorous prowess. On the spot, Happosai decided it
was his responsibility to take such a powerful item away from one so
lascivious, lest the fat man used it on himself and unleashed his

ill-gotten

adoration on the beautiful and vast harem he owned. A bevy of the most

Hehehe

attractive women made up the composition of the harem, representing a
veritable mountain of breasts. And the panties, certainly the sheik had
spared no expense in outfitting the women in his palace of pleasure. Even
Happosai had been hard pressed to liberate them all, but he had. That
success was one of the proudest accomplishments in his long life.

I'd bet ^_^

Nice image

Several drops of drool fell from Happosai's mouth and splattered on the
scroll. The sounds of the liquid hitting the parchment shook him out of

his

Would suck for Happi if the scroll got destroyed before he could make
his wish.

reverie. A wish he most certainly deserved. All that was left was what to
wish for. So much potential. So many things. He doubted he could wish for
more wishes; that just wasn't the way these things worked. That meant he

had

At least he considered it (the wishing for more wishes part).

to make this single shot at eternal happiness count. What was the one

thing

he wished for more than anything else? The one thing that would be

eternally

out of his reach no matter how hard he tried?

All of a sudden, Happosai was struck by a memory of when he was young.
Of the girl who he had a chance to be in a loving relationship with,
though for some reason it never worked out.

Happosai: I've got it!  I wish that Cologne will be my ever-loving wife
who will always be willing to perform her womanly duties with me.

A few seconds later....

Happosai: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The answer struck him all at once, like a woman's slap when he tried to

show

them his appreciation by embracing their chest. He stared down at the

them -> her

parchment and said, "I wish everyone else in the world were nubile young
girls with large breasts, that they had an unlimited supply of panties,

and

that they'll let a venerable old man like me grope them so that he can

enjoy

his twilight years in peace and comfort."

Hehehehe

Reminds me of one of Bader's recent fics.

Nothing happened.

Thankfully

Happosai read the scroll more closely. "Oh, I have to summon the genie and
tell him my wish so he can make it on my behalf. Now let me see. How does

'Now, let me see' - I think

this go?" It took the old man a moment to sift through his memory and

recall

how to read the ancient symbols of power. Once satisfied he knew how to
pronounce them correctly, he invoked the spell.

"Klatuu. Barada. Necktie."

He said the words correctly!

Which, of course, means that something else will go horribly wrong.

"Ha cha!" Happosai exclaimed. This was it. For living the life he had, he
was finally being rewarded the way he deserved. He could barely wait to go
hopping about, snuggling ample bosoms and drawing the unlimited power that
could conceivably keep him alive forever, or at least let him die the
happiest man on the planet. He could almost feel the breasts in his grasp,

Or die of boredom from having easy access to any girl... nah.

the soft, pliable flesh pillowing under his cheeks as he rubbed his face

up

and down. In fact, he could see a pair approaching now. There were bound

in

'They were bound'

a white gi. The front was slightly open at the neck, 'v'ing downward and
showing the white line of an athletic bra. Sweat lined the flesh beneath

it,

and lungs that still drank deeply of the air caused the breasts to move
forward ever so slightly, giving them a slight jiggling motion independent
of the one created by walking.

Nice description ^_^

"Sweeto!" Happosai declared and leaped for the first in what would be a

long

line of women to fondle.

Happosai seems to have forgotten something....

"Get away from me, you pervert!" Akane yelled as her fist met Happosai's

jaw

right before he could land in the valley, or at least relatively large
ditch, that her cleavage created.

"That's not what was supposed to happen!" Happosai declared as he flew off
into the distance from the force of the blow.

Hehehe

Irate, she approached the parchment, intent on putting it out, when the
mists shifted. The upper half of the column coalesced, solidifying until

it

formed the upper torso of a powerful looking man-like thing. It wasn't

quite

human, at least none that Akane had ever seen. Its emerald chest was
inhumanly broad, even moreso than Lime's impressive physique. It was
hairless, and had yellow slanted eyes that lacked pupils. Even its ears

were

alien, being incredibly long and with tips that tapered off into sharp
points. What should have been the lower torso remained a green mist that
seemed intent on hovering in place.

"If you're looking for Happosai, he already left," Akane told the being,
pointing in the direction the little pervert and flown and hoping the

weirdo

'pervert had flown'

in front of her wasn't going to cause any problems.

This is Nerima... there's no way he's _not_ going to cause any
problems.

The yellow slits that served as the genie's eyes turned to Akane. In a

voice

that was surprisingly melodious given its powerful form, the it asked,

"What

is your wish?"

'the it' -> 'it'

Akane looked around, convinced it was some sort of trick. "What's going on

At least she didn't do what Keiichi did.

Small wisps of vapor began to peel away from the genie's form and hung in
the air. "My time on this plane of existence is short. If you do not make
your wish within the next five minutes, it will be lost to you forever, as
you measure time. Make your wish."

Not sure if the 'as you measure time' part is necessary.

Akane began to panic. It was real. She knew it. This being could grant her
any wish, but she had to make it quickly. Immediately her mind was flooded
with dozens of possibilities all vying for control. So many ideas and so

'possibilities, all' - I think

"Kasumi, I need help!" Akane said in a gasp.

Kasumi placed the knife down on the cutting board. "What is it?"

"If you could wish for anything in the world, and I do mean anything, what
would you wish for?"

Kasumi: That the house will never get dirty again.

Akane: ....

"I have my wish!" Akane gasped. It took her a moment to figure out how to
phrase the question so that it was simple enough to not be misinterpreted.
Satisfied with the phrasing and unwilling to waste another second lest she
lose this chance, Akane said, "I wish my mother had never been in a car
accident."

Unfortunately, Akane forgot to mention which one....

As the last words left her mouth, a sudden memory filled her of a story

her

English language class had to read to show their comprehension skills. She
remembered it all too well, knowing that with her luck the same thing
probably would have happened to her had she been in that situation. Now

she

found herself in hauntingly familiar surroundings, and fearful events

would

occur just as they had in the tale of the Monkey's Paw.

"So that she can be with us today," Akane quickly added, hoping the being

Heh, all that did was make the situation worse ^_^

didn't refuse the last second addition to the request. She didn't want her
mother to not die in a car wreck, only to have her life end because of

some

lingering disease or equally premature death three months after the crash
had been avoided. If the genie protested the addition, Akane could claim

she

had merely paused for breath. Less than a second had passed between
"accident" and "so", and he would almost certainly have to accept that as

an

explanation.

Suggest: 'and "so"; he'

The genie remained silent only for a second before bringing its hands
together with a deafening clap and declaring, "DONE!"

Kasumi entered the room just in time to see the figure completely lose
cohesion and turn into an emerald mist. The cloud rose to the ceiling and
billowed across it before merging completely with the air, as though it

had

never been there at all.

"I'm glad Mr. Mist didn't leave a stain on the ceiling," Kasumi said as

she

looked at the plaster with a careful eye.

Nice to see she's got her priorities straight.

Turning to her sister, Akane was about to quiz Kasumi on her memory of

their

mother, to see if their memories corroborated, when the screeching sound

of

a car's tires came from the street just in front of the house. Both of the
Tendou girls turned to the noise, eyes widening.

And there's the sign....

Hot on the heels of the tire screech, a feminine voice shouted out, "Watch
it, you jerk! You nearly ran me down! Are you blind, or is Alzeimers
affecting you so badly you forgot your glasses? Hey! You wave that finger

at

me again, and I'll break it off and shove it so far up your butt you won't
be able to crap right for the rest of your life!" There was the sound of a

First signs of something having gone very wrong -- which is to be
expected in these situations.

car moving off at an accelerated speed, and then the voice said, "Yeah,
that's right! You take that piece of !@#$ car outta here before the rust
that's holding it together gives out and it falls apart! Loser!"

Mrs. Tendou sounds like a... umm... pleasant woman.

Both of the girls looked at each other, their eyes twice as wide as

before.

Neither dared to speak, maintaining an aura of silence even as they heard

a

key turn in the lock to the front door. There was the sound of shoes being
removed, and then the thump of someone moving through the house. As the
sound drew near, a high-pitched feminine voice declared, "I'm home! What's
for din-"

The speaker stopped abruptly as she entered the living room and spotted
Akane and Kasumi sitting in the middle of it.

'sitting' or 'standing'?

The sisters looked closely at the stranger and drew in deep breaths. The
newcomer's black hair was a familiar short cut, nearly identical to

Akane's.

Deep brown eyes were guarded closely by short eyelashes. She wore a simple
white blouse and pleated skirt. Her body was slender, though one look at

her

arms and legs showed that she possessed a sort of wiry strength. Her chest
was somewhat demure, though at the same time there could be no doubts
concerning her femininity. She was on the attractive side, Kasumi

comparing

her closely to Akane in appearance, though she could see some of Nabiki in
the face as well. Akane's observations noted the same thing. The close
resemblance was made all the more uncanny by one simple fact:

The girl was seventeen years old.

Heh

Kachinko Tendou looked strangely around the room, then leveled an

accusatory

finger at the gaping girls. "All right! You two got about three seconds to
explain what you did to my house, or else there's going to be some ass
kicking going on, and from the looks of things, you two got more than

enough

butt to last me a while!"

Hehehehe

Glad to see that the wish went awry.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes, the words are a parody from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' just like
from Army of Darkness. How can you go wrong referring to those two

classics

of the film industry? ^_^

Honestly, I came up with this idea long before I saw the Battle Athletes

TV

series. As soon as it hit those last few episodes, I said to myself,

"Well,

Have seen all of the OAV and some of the TV eps... need to watch the
rest someday (especially with the whole lesbian angle ^_^).

looks like I'm not the only one that thought such an idea has a great deal
of mischievous potential." Things will not take quite the same course
obviously, but there might be a handful of similarities as well. Hopefully

Am hoping that Kachinko doesn't end up disappearing by the end.

I'll be right, though only future chapters will be able to see if I can
execute things in an enjoyable manner.

This is the next 'sizable' project I have planned once I'm done with the

cur

rent arc of Avenging. Tenative schedule has me doing a two part Dual! fic
next (didn't have enough time to properly start it today or I would have)
and then the conclusion of the Herb arc in Avenging, then working on this.
I've had it in my mind for quite some time, and discussed it with the gang
on FFIRC a while back. It seemed to meet with favorable responses there,

so

hopefully the same will happen here.

I do recall hearing this around November or so of 2000.  Glad you got
to start on this now.

Hope to see more soon!
