Subject: [GRIT][SILLY] Jason-kun in Birthday Land From: vtagle@uci.edu (Vince Tagle) Date: 1997/07/29 Message-ID: Newsgroups: rec.arts.anime.misc It's early morning and Jo is still in bed, sleeping restlessly. She wakes up with a start, sweating profusely, to the sound of her alarm clock ringing. She grabs her alarm clock and looks at it before throwing it across the room, silencing it for the rest of the day (it's one of those "turn off by throwing against the room" alarm clocks). Jo: (groggily) Man... what a strange dream... (shakes her head) I need a cup of coffee. The Akane-lookalike pulls him... er... herself out of bed and shuffles over to the door. Still half-asleep, she opens the door and is greeted by Amy, kawaiily dressed in one of those playboy bunny suits. Amy: (bouncing into the room) Happy birthday, Jason-kun! ^_^ (she throws her arms around Jo and plants a big kiss on her lips) Jo: O_O! MMPPFFH! Amy: (breaking off the kiss) ^_^ Jo: A-amy... I uh... wha... what was that for? Amy: (ultra-cheerfully) For your birthday, silly! We even baked you a cake! Jo: We? (looks over Amy's shoulder and sees Vince, leaning against the door, wearing the same outfit and holding a cake) Vince? Vince: Don't ask. Even -I- don't know why I'm wearing this... this outfit. -_-;;;; Amy: Vince: (rolls his eyes) Just take the cake, okay? Jason shrugs and moves to take the cake from Vince's hands. However, she trips and lands face first into it. Cursing, she picks herself up and wipes cake from her eyes. Jo: Gack... sorry 'bout that, Vince. (looks up and sees a very confused Ukkyo staring at her, dressed in a kawaii cat suit and holding the remains of a cake) Ukkyo: "Vince"? Jo: Wha-? (looks around and sees that she's now in the Ucchan's and that she's still wearing his pajamas) Oh, sorry, Ukkyo, but I could've sworn I was at Zuni's a few minutes a... uh... Ukkyo...? Ukkyo: (generating a blue battle aura) You mean you thought you were with... with that hussy, right! Jo: (backing away nervously) Uh... waitaminute now, Ukkyo... Ukkyo: You... you... JACKASS!!! (swings out her big-ass spatula and begins causing mass property damage as Jo frantically dodges her strikes) Jo: Can't we talk about this? Ukkyo: No! (continues her attack) Jo: Oh boy... ^^;;; Jo continues to dodge the angry Ukyou clone's attacks until she mistimes a particular swing and ends up with a spatula to the head. She flies across the room where she lands in something soft. Jo: (dazedly) Ooo... now where am I? (looks up and sees Kun-chan's face smiling down at her; he looks around some more and realizes that they're in the Tendo dojo and that her head is in Kun-chan's lap) Kun-chan?!? Kun-chan: Hi, Jason-kun! Happy birthday! Jo quickly springs to her feet and looks around. She notices that the kuniochi is dressed in her usual garb, much to her relief, but she notes that she's still wearing her pajamas. Jo: (to herself) At least they could've let me change first... Kun-chan: (worry etched on her face) Jason-kun? Is something wrong? Jo: Huh...? Oh, no... it's just that today's been really weird, that's all. Kun-chan smiles and moves in close to Jo. Jo: Uh... Kun-chan... what are you doing? The kuniochi wraps her arms around Jo's neck and prepares to kiss her when... Amy: (walking in, still dressed in her bunny outfit) Jason-kun! Are you in... (she trails off as she sees Kun-chan about to kiss Jo) Jo: Amy! It's uh... not what you think! Amy: (blue battle aura flaring) Me and Vince slave in the kitchen making you a cake for your birthday and this is how you repay us! Vince: (also still dressed in his bunny outfit) Yeah, Jason! It wasn't easy walking up those stairs carrying a cake while wearing high heels, you know? (brandishes a pair of high heels) Amy: By... by cavorting with that trollop! Kun-chan: Hey! Ukkyo: (walking in) Jason-kun? Are you in... (trails off as she sees Kun-chan with her arms wrapped around Jo) And what do you think -you're- doing? -_- Amy: Oh great, now the spatula bitch is here. Ukkyo: -_- Kun-chan: It's none of your business what me and Jason-kun do. Now the two of you be good little girls and go home, okay? Amy: No way! Jason's mine! Ukkyo: What are you taking about, you stupid tomboy? He's mine! Jo: Now girls... Amy and Ukkyo: You stay out of this. Jo: Okay... The tomboy and okonomiyaki chef face off against each other, while Kun-chan looks on smugly and Vince munches on some popcorn. Suddenly, Amy's bokken is in her hand and she charges Ukkyo, who draws her big-ass spatula out. The two start trading blows while Kun-chan contines to look on smugly. Vince, on the other hand, is trying to beat off Tsubasa, disguised as a large playing card, with his bokken. Vince: Dammit, Tsubasa! Will you leave me alone, already! Tsubasa: But Victoria-sama! I love you! I don't care about your curse. P-chan suddenly runs through the dojo, while Kasumi, dressed in a dominatrix outfit and weilding a whip in one hand and a meat cleaver in the other, gives chase. Kasumi: Ohohohohoho! Come back here, P-chan! Kasumi has a nice pork chop recipe she wants to try out. Akane: (running in after Kasumi, dressed up in a sexy rose costume) Oneechan! Stop trying to kill P-chan... In the meantime, Jo looks on worridly and is about to step in and say something when she feels something poke her in the back. Suddenly, everything goes black. When the Akane-double wakes up again, she finds herself chained to a bed, still in her pajamas. Jo: Great. Now where am I? Kuno: Ah! The fair maiden has doth awaken! Fear not, for it is I, Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of the Greater Nerima Institute of Technology (thunder rumbles and lightning flashes in the background), who will rescue thee from your cruel bonds! Jo: -_-;;;; It can't get any worse than this... (ominous thunder rumbles in the background) Kuno: Hold, now, while I break the bonds that urk! @_@ (falls over to reveal Cologne, back in her female form, balancing on her staff) Jo: Cologne! Boy, I thought I'd never say this but I'm glad to see you. When did you get cured, though, anyway? Well, never mind that, just get me out of these chains, okay? Cologne chuckles evilly, sending Jo's hair on end. Cologne: Now why would I do that? I put you in those chains, boy. Or should I say "girl"? Jo: -_- And why, may I ask? Is this some hare-brained scheme to lure Ranma back to Shampoo? Cologne: Hm...? Oh, no, nothing like that. It's for your birthday present. Namely, me. Jo: Cologne disrobes, revealing a frilly, lacy teddy underneath her clothes. Cologne: Remember this little outfit from the tournament? I've been saving it for a special occasion... (adopts a kawaii sexy pose for Jo, who by this time, is wide-eyed with fear) Do you like it? Jo: Gah... Cologne: Now... to deliver your present... (starts to move seductively towards Jo) Jo: NO!!!!! Everything goes black and suddenly Jo, in her bed, bolts up, as if waking from a bad dream. Her alarm clock is ringing annoyingly, prompting the Akane-double to pick it up and throw it across the room, silencing it. Jo: (groggily) Man... what a strange dream... (shakes her head) I need a cup of coffee. Jo shuffles over to the door and, still half-asleep, opens it only to be greeted by Amy, dressed in a kawaii sexy bunny outfit. Amy: (bouncing into the room) Happy birthday, Jason-kun! ^_^ Jo: ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ===== Never End. RL Note: Yes, I know I'm sick and twisted for writing this.
