Ami is still sitting on top of the (now still) photocopier, with Makoto standing next to her. Ami: It's so dark in here. Makoto: Well, that's because the machine is now off. The light coming from it was lighting up the room. Ami: Well, now we can't see too much. Makoto: Perhaps we should leave this room and find out what the hell is going on. Ami: Yes, we should. Makoto: So, where do we start? Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: I'm not sure. Makoto: Well, you got here before I did. Ami: Yes, but I was unconscious for most of the time. As you well know. Makoto: Oops, forgot. Ami: Shouldn't you turn on a light? Makoto: A light? Ami: Yes, a light. Makoto: You mean there is a light in here? Ami: There has to be one, somewhere. Makoto: There doesn't have to be. Ami: You're just arguing the point for the sake of it. Makoto: I am not. There doesn't have to be a light in here. Ami: Who says so? Makoto: Nobody has to say so. Ami: Well, you just go on and believe what you think. I'm sure the person who put us in this mess is having a good laugh at our expense. Makoto: Ah! Now I remember! Ami: Remember what? Makoto: What we were supposed to be doing. Ami: Which is? Makoto: Look for the person who put us in this mess. Ami: So, where do you suggest we start? Makoto: Good question. Ami facefaults. Ami: Yes, very good, Sherlock. Makoto: Well, how about we start by going up to the head office of this place? Ami: What? Do you mean we walk through the darkness? Makoto: Have you a better idea? Ami: We could trip over or step into anything. Makoto: Somehow I don't think so. We can see well enough as it is. Ami: I bet we step in something really horrible and smelly. Makoto: This is a hospital, not a public lavatory. Ami: Same difference, surely? Makoto: Now listen, you.... Are you coming with me up to the head office? Ami: I might. Makoto: What do you mean, you might? Ami: If you can promise me we won't step in anything nasty. Makoto: Can you SEE anything nasty on the floor? Ami: I can't see anything on the floor at all. Makoto: Bullshit. You can see the floor perfectly well. Ami: But I left my glasses behind. Makoto: You don't use glasses. Ami: Yes I do. Makoto: No you don't. Ami: Yes I do. I use these ones. Ami lifts a pair of glasses from behind her, showing them to Makoto. She then whips them back to wherever it was she was hiding them. Ami: Pity I left them behind. I don't know what I'll do without them. Makoto: Oh very well. I'll guide you about. Ami: I can't let you do that. Makoto: Why not? Ami: What if you step into something nasty. Makoto: Don't worry. I won't. Ami: But you don't have your glasses, either. Makoto: I don't wear glasses. Ami: Yes you do. Makoto: No I don't. Ami: Yes you do. Ami takes the glasses out again and places them on Makoto's face. Ami: See? Makoto: What do you know.... Ami takes the glasses off Makoto's face and hides them, again. Ami: So you see, I can't have you endangering yourself for me. Makoto: I understand your concern, Ami, but I'll be perfectly alright. Ami: You thrillseeker, you. Makoto: Look, all we have to do is get out of this room and everything shall be bright and clear for us. Ami: You're sure about that, are you? Makoto: Yes, this is the darkest room in the hospital. Ami: It might not be. There might be even darker rooms, with scary things wandering through them. Makoto: You're gettingparanoid in your old age, you know that? Ami: Yes. Makoto: I refrain from commenting. So, can I help you down from that machine? Ami: No. Makoto: Why not. Ami: I'm scared. Makoto: Scared? Of what? Ami: It's so far down, and the floor is sooooo dark. Makoto: Listen, stupid, I happen to be standing on that floor. Ami: Stupid? YOU, of all people, call ME stupid? Makoto: Anyone too scared to get down from a photocopier because they are scared of heights is stupid, in my world. Ami: Yes, but I don't live in your world. Makoto: Well, what world DO you live in? Ami: The scary little one on the other side of the wall. Makoto: Look, shutup and get down from there. Makoto grabs Ami by the arms and tries to pull her down from the machine. Ami tries to resist. Ami: Let me go! Makoto: Shutup, you! Ami: You're scaring me. Makoto: Oh yeah? You want to see something REALLY scary? Ami: What? Makoto lets Ami go and turns, playing with her face with her hands. She turns back with an utterly mutated face, drooling green slime and baring her teeth. Makoto: GRAAAAAARGH! Ami: IYAAAAAAA! Ami almost faints as Makoto turns around again, once more playing with her face. When she turns back, her face is back to normal. Ami: Kami's shit! How did you DO that? Makoto: We all have secrets we like to keep. Now get down from there. Ami: No. Makoto: Don't force me to use violence. Ami: No, I can't.... I'll pass out from the strain. Makoto: What strain? Ami: The strain of getting close to that distant, dark floor. Makoto: You don't have some kind of bizarre psychological condition, do you? Ami: Yes. Makoto: What? Ami: I'm a smartarse. Makoto: Alright! That did it! Makoto rolls up the sleeves of her overcoat and grabs Ami by her arms, roughly. Despite some protests, she wrenches Ami from atop the machine and drops her onto the floor. Ami: WAAAAAAHHH! You could have killed me! Makoto: Yeah, right. Now get to your feet and we'll get going. Ami: Can't. Makoto: What do you mean, you can't? Ami: I suddenly realised. I'm scared of heights. Makoto: ..... Meanwhile, in Hades, Usagi and Mokona are staring down at the unconscious form of Umi, who has been near-flattened by a boulder that has fallen from out of nowhere. Usagi: Gee, I wonder where that came from.... Mokona: Pu! ^_^ END OF PART 25 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Is Ami afraid of everything? Will Makoto ever get her to the head office of the hospital? What will they find there? Who dropped the boulder of Umi? Is Mokona really a God from Cephiro and capable of railroading just about anything he likes, including plotlines? Does DDFA really care if he does? For almost no answers to these questions read the next enthralling chapter of "Waiting for Minako", in Dolby Dolby Stereo Stereo. All All we we have have to to do do is is make make sure sure everything everything is is lined lined up up in in time time for for the the chapter chapter to to start start. ^_^;; ^_^;; _________ / @ \ 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is another cute little spamfic, posted to the FFML by A-kun McCrillis that I thought I'd include with this chapter for all to peruse. ^_^ Waiting on Minako By TharzZzDunN Mispelling by A-kun Misproduction by ?????

Stupid Monkeys by Disney, Inc. ==================================================================== Minako entered the resturaunt. She knew she should really be heading to the park, but a quick meal wouldn't hurt. After all, she didn't take very long to eat. Out of curiousity, she glanced at her watch to see what day it was. Hmmm, Wednesday. Not her favorite day of the week, but it was better than Monday. "So, like, d'you wanna order or whut?" the waiter, named TharzZzDunN, asked. Minako thought about it. Later... "So, like, d'you wan' fries with that?" the waiter, named Huh?, asked. TharzZzDunN had just died of boredom. Minako thought about it. Later.... "So, like, I think we're outta that..." the waiter, named A- kun, told her. Huh? had died of boredom and was rotting away with TharzZzDunN. Minako thought about it more. Much later..... "I could check on that...." the waitress, named ?????, said. A-kun had strangled himself to death with a strip of fly paper. Minako thought about it some more. Much MUCH later....... "So, like are you gonna give a big tip?" the waitress, named C-chan, asked. ????? had screamed and leapt out the nearest window, which was two floors down, in the lobby. Minako thought about it intensely. MUCH MUCH MUCH later............. "I wanna go home!!" the waitress, named A-chan, bawled. C- chan had just gone on a rampage and had slaughtered half of the lawyers in the world. Minako thought about it with all her might. Really freakin' late........................... "Will that be all today, miss?" the waiter, named the Inverse Layer, asked politely. Minako thought about it some more. And answered. "Sure, what are today's Specials?" Minako asked. The Inverse Layer looked at his watch to see what day it was. Tuesday. It figured. ==================================================================== Apologies to DDFA, but TharzZzDunN couldn't get this idea out of his demented head. |><| (@ _ @) | | ----+---- <--- Ugly .sig person by TharzZzDunN (typed by A-kun) | | | / \ / \ / \ / \ Minako says, "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
