♩ “Ticking away the moments that make up the dull days….” ♫
Haruka half-coughed, half-laughed as she watched the oversized, anthropomorphic dairy product get shot down again and took another hit from her joint. “Man, that is the funniest shit ever… and this is the most awesome shit ever,” she added as she turned her interest back on the homemade cannabis cigarette in her hand. “Where’d you get this from, Setsuna?”
The red-eyed (in more ways than one) Time Guardian turned to her compatriot on the sofa and said, “I told you, I got it from Serenity’s stash after the Silver Millennium — but she got it from Venus.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, Venusian weed was like, the best stuff anybody’s ever grown, ever. Hell, by Venusian standards, this is practically oregano.”
“I take it they liked their pot, then?”
“Let me put it this way: those aren’t clouds obscuring the surface of the planet from view.”
“Wait… are you saying it’s smoke?”
“You got it.”
“No shit. If this is the rejected stuff, what’s the really good stuff like?”
“It’s fucking awesome… I don’t smoke it though. Technically all of this is Usagi’s, and I don’t want to get on her bad side. That’s why I stick to this low-grade shit — she won’t mind it if that’s gone. Not once she gets used to the good stuff.”
“Assuming we can get that gateway drug nonsense out of her head, that is.”
“You think I’m stupid enough to tell her about it before that? She’d probably have Rei incinerate it all at once without even trying it first.”
Haruka smirked. “You act like this stuff is important — I mean sure, it’s good, but come on.”
“I’m convinced that if we’d had Pink Floyd back then, we could have used the really good stuff and gotten Beryl to chill out enough to avoid that bummer of a war.”
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“Speaking of Floyd,” the violinist sitting between the two remarked, “I thought you said this part of the timeline synced up with Dark Side of the Moon. I’m just not seeing it….”
“Huh? Ah, shit. I forgot — I need to fast forward here to get it to work right.”
“You serious?” asked Haruka. “I wanted to see the look on Kuno’s face when he sees the meatball.”
“It’s not that good — he just does another one of his stupid ‘Ranma’s an evil sorcerer and I have to save Akane and the pigtailed girl’ routines.”
“Really? That sucks.”
“It gets better later on.”
“Will you two shut up?” Michiru berated the others. “My favorite part of the song is coming up.”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“And if you don’t pass that joint, you aren’t getting any tonight.”
“Jeez,” her lover responded, “you have got to be the crabbiest stoner ever.”
“It’s not my fault that my buzz is so easily harshed.”
Haruka did have to admit that her lover had a point; Michiru did suffer from the handicap of not being able to stay enjoyably high very well. “Tell you what, why don’t you listen to Floyd, while I get some more Cheesy Poofs and Setsuna fast-forwards to the good part?”
Michiru’s attention was only sort of on her lover as the blonde left the couch to grab something from Setsuna’s pile of munchies. “Yeah, sounds good… woah.” The violinist’s attention was distracted as the guitar solo came in. She was silent for several minutes before proclaiming, “Gilmour’s, like, a fucking genius….”
“Seriously,” Setsuna said, “Floyd, plus some top-grade Venusian grass, and Beryl would never have even paid attention to Metallia.”
“But I thought her problem was that she was in love with Endymion.”
Setsuna thought about this for a minute, and revised her statement. “Okay, so maybe we’d have needed to play Sgt. Pepper’s, too. My point is that weed could have saved the Silver Millennium if we had used it right.”
“Oh… cool.”
