Makoto: Where are we, again? Ami: Why do you ask? Makoto: I've forgotten.... A sheep flies overhead. Sheep: Baaaaaaaa. Ami: New Zealand? There is a gunshot, and the sheep falls to the ground. Ami: Nope. Still looks like Queensland. Makoto: Bummer. Ami: The poor sheep. Makoto: I was really hoping this wasn't real. Ami: What kind of person could shoot an innocent sheep? Makoto: I really want to be back in Tokyo.... Ami: It never hurt anyone. Makoto: ....Waiting by that wall. Ami: Even if it was a violent psychomaniac, what the hell could a sheep do? Makoto: Waiting for.... I can't remember who we were waiting for.... Ami: The person who shot that sheep is an animal! Makoto: Perhaps we weren't really waiting for anyone.... We were just wasting our time.... Ami: No, that's an insult to animals. Makoto: Wasting precious seconds of our lives. Ami: The person who shot that sheep was a monster! Makoto: Whatever life it is we were living. Ami: That's an insult, even to monsters. Makoto: I want to go home. Ami: Monsters would never shoot sheep. Makoto: Even though there is nobody waiting for me, there. Ami: They'd just eat them, whole. Makoto: Even though I live alone. Ami: Lets face it, a monster has to live, too. Makoto: I don't like living alone. Ami: Funny we haven't bumped into any monsters, lately. Makoto: But I'd prefer it to this! This is hell. Ami: No, this is Queensland. Makoto: Same difference. Ami: Quite a few people would disagree with you, there. Makoto: I don't think so, somehow. Ami: Ah look! The sun's coming up. Ami points at the horizon, and Makoto turns, just as the sun peeps its head over the ocean. They watch it for several minutes, but are interrupted by a hillbilly with a gun. Hillbilly: Damn sun! Always risin' every day. We don't like strange suns round 'ere. The hillbilly aims his gun at the sun and sends off a volley of shots. Ami and Makoto look daggers at him. Ami: Mercury Planet Power, Make Up! Makoto: Jupiter Planet Power, Make Up! Insert two overlong henshin sequences here. The hillbilly stops and watches as they change into Sailormercury and Sailorjupiter. Mercury: For killing innocent sheep.... Jupiter: And for trying to stop the sun rising.... Both: We shall punish you! The hillbilly starts to laugh out loud as they both pose, then clutches his chest and falls to the ground, dead. Mercury and Jupiter glance at each other, momentarily. Jupiter: ....And theres more where that came from! Mercury: I think he suffered a severe Myocardial Infarction. Jupiter: I hope that was as painful as it sounds. Mercury: Do you get the feeling he didn't take us entirely seriously? Jupiter: Yes. Serves him right. Mercury: Hmm.... Well, now we can use Sailor Teleport to get us off this beach and back home. Jupiter: Why didn't we think of that, before? Mercury: I think it had something to do with us eating too many jellybeans. Jupiter: Don't remind me.... Jupiter clutches her stomach as it gurgles. Mercury shakes her head, sadly. Mercury: I did tell you not to eat so many. Jupiter: Uhhh.... If I see another jellybean, I think I'm gonna throw up.... Mercury: *sigh* I wonder how things are in Tokyo at the moment.. Meanwhile, due to a remarkable coincidence upon the writer's part, in Tokyo, by the wall, Haruka and Michiru are sleeping soundly. Haruka's eyes begin to flutter and she smacks her lips. Staring blearily around at her surroundings, she nudges Michiru in the side. Haruka: Michiru.... Michiru: ZZZzzzZZzzzZZZzzzzz.... Haruka: Michiru, wake up.... Michiru: ZZZZzzzZZZzzzz... hmm, what *snort* eh eh what's up? Michiru sits up, looking at Haruka with sleepy eyes. Haruka: Its morning. Almost. Michiru: Looks dark to me. Haruka: Whoops.... Forgot about the time difference between here and Queensland. Michiru: ..... Haruka: ..... Michiru: There is almost no time difference between here and Queensland. Haruka: Shh.... Don't tell everybody that. It spoils the mood. Michiru: What mood? Haruka: They finally get a scene where you and I wake up together. Michiru: ..... Haruka: ..... Michiru: Baka. Go back to sleep. Haruka: Yes, mistress. Michiru: And don't call me mistress. Haruka: ..... Michiru: ..... Haruka: ..... Michiru: Call me Queen. Meanwhile, at the Hikawa shrine, Rei is playing with peoples' minds. Rei: And this is the daddy brain, and this is the mummy brain, and this is the baby brain, and they all lived in a big house, together, in the middle of the woods.... Back in Queensland, on the beach. Mercury: ..... Jupiter: ..... Mercury: ..... Jupiter: ..... Mercury: ..... Jupiter: ..... Mercury: You know something? Jupiter: What? Mercury: Maybe we should give up this idea about returning to Tokyo.... Jupiter: ..... Mercury: ..... Jupiter: You might be right, there.... It's not looking a very exciting prospect. Mercury: ..... Jupiter: ..... Mercury: I wonder if there's any work about for tasters in a jellybean factory.... Meanwhile, in Hades, at the local restaurant, Usagi is sitting, arrow still stuck in her head, looking very upset at the slightly foppish, demonic waiter. Usagi: What do you mean, you only have black jellybeans on the menu? Waiter: Well, this is hell.... Usagi: No it's not, it's Hades. Waiter: Same difference. Usagi: Well, I want something other than a bowl of black jellybeans! Waiter: Well, you can always eat at the golden arches across the street.... Usagi: ..... Waiter: ..... Usagi: ..... Waiter: ..... Usagi: ..... Waiter: ..... Usagi: ..... Waiter: ..... Usagi: Do they come with soy sauce? END OF PART 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Will Minako ever arrive? Does Minako even exist? Are Ami and Makoto on a beach in scary north Queensland? Are Haruka and Michiru really the source of SOS's unfounded allegations about their relationship? Does Rei really play with the minds of others? Is she to blame for Ami and Makoto's predicament? Does Hades really have the Golden Arches? For no answers to these questions, stay tuned for the next exciting chapter of the interminable saga of Ami and Makoto in "McWaiting for McMinako" (tm). ^_^ _________ / @ \ DDFA (The Right Dishonourable Mark A Page) / / ^ ^ \ \ ayanami@merlin.net.au /\ Chief Propoganda Officer, Keeper of \/ \/ the Tapes and Co-Founder of the Saitou-chan \___________/ Appreciation Society - Adelaide Japanese /_/ \_\ PU Animation Society Version 1.0 - It's not Mac Time!
