This episode is dedicated to the 'memory' of Mushroom Samba (^_^) \o/ :o)
-----------------
Happosai was a very, very, very happy genie!...
Standing before him was a very beautiful, well-endowed young woman with dark hair in a short, Nabiki-like hairdo held back fashionably by an orange headband and dressed in immodest, shiny yellow attire that showed the maximum amount of her pale skin without risking arrest for indecent exposure. As some kind of fashion afterthought, she had a red sweater wrapped around herself and tied off like some sort of impromptu brassiere....
Drooling slightly, the withered genie watched with utter delight as the woman inhaled deeply as she was about to say something to him--
Time stopped.
"Whatthe?!" Happi blurted out, looking around. He and the frozen-in-place young woman were standing in what looked like a combination living room / dining room. Happi's gaze fell on a nearby window. "My god, it's full of stars!" he gasped in awe and wonder....
"You are quite correct." came a feminine, ominous-sounding voice from behind Happosai.
Happosai whirled around and was greeted by the sight of a beautiful tall woman with tanned skin, long emerald-green hair, and dressed in a stylized version of a schoolgirl's seifuku. In one gloved hand, the woman held a white staff that vaguely resembled a key. On top of the staff was a gleaming red-pinkish sphere enclosed in an ornate, white, heart-shaped loop. Naturally, Happosai drooled some more....
The woman frowned slightly at the diminutive djinn and his distasteful display of naked lasciviousness while retaining her serious demeanor. "I apologize, your encounter with the yellow-clad young woman behind you cannot be allowed to continue."
"Why not?!?" asked Happi, rather wide-eyed.
"Long ago, The Powers That Be that oversee this realm decreed 'absolutely no contact' with anyone or anything not of this realm." pronounced the staff-weilder in a regal, offical tone.
"What now? How do I get out this realm since I am unwanted here?" Happosai asked fearfully, wide-eyed. A bead of cold sweat trickled down the side of his face....
In a soothing, motherly tone, the staff-weilding young woman offered Happosai a means of escape from his 'no way out' situation: "I can send you to one of a number of realms where your presence there may be tolerated by The Powers That Be who oversee that particular realm...." At this, she shifted the position of her staff causing the necessary information to be deposited directly into Happosai's mind. "Make your choice and you will be transported to that realm....Choose wisely...."
Happosai thought for a few moments, then grinned broadly at the staff-weilding young lady. He faded out of her sight--much like the Cheshire Cat did in Alice in Wonderland <author 'gripe'>a famous (presumably) public domain story written before 1928, the 'birthday' of Disney cartoon mascot Mickey Mouse who is scheduled to enter public domain status sometime in 2024 instead of 2003. On a related note, Cowboy Bebop 'should' enter the public domain in 2093, some 22 years *after* 2071, the time period the series takes place in</author 'gripe'>....
"You are in my debt, Toltiir...." noted the staff-weilding young woman gravely, looking up at the ceiling of the room she was in.
"Sure thing, Puu-chan." chimed the disembodied voice of the eternally mischevious neko-kami.
Lowering her head and gritting her teeth behind pursed lips, Sailor Pluto bit back a minor curse. "Only the Small Lady may call me 'Puu-chan'." she hissed softly in a regal fashion.
"Sorry, Ms. Meiou," apologized Toltiir thoughtfully, "I was just trying to inject a little levity into what could have been another migrane-headache-inducing situation with The Powers That Be in this realm....I was looking out for your health and well-being. You realize that all that hedache medicine you ingest is bad for your stomach....Can't have the Senshi Of Time sidelined by a tummyache or an ulcer...." added the neko-kami in a genuinely protective tone.
Sailor Pluto smiled and chuckled demurely. Lately, she had been taking a lot of medicine to combat the headaches she got from enthusiastic anime webfiction authors disruptions imparted upon the timestream. "Thank you for your concern, Toltiir. Until next time....". Holding the Time Staff aloft in front of her, the Garnet Orb glowed for a moment--causing the emerald-haired Senshi to disappear out of the realm of the yellow-clad young woman....
Satisfied, The Powers That Be altered and re-started the timestream so that Happosai's presence there never happened....
