The cement mixer began pouring its load of concrete into the new building foundation as Hirohiko used a chain to direct the flow. At this, Hirohiko was a master. When he was done, it would only require minor levelling to bring it perfectly flat.
Hirohiko frowned. What was that oddly familiar music being played? It sounded like...
The foundation man slowly straightened, his moustache twitching in agitation. It sounded like chase music!
WHAM
Hirohiko found himself face first into the very product he'd been working with.
He started getting up, when he noticed that he'd been knocked into the muck by... a panda?!
WHAM!
Down he went again.
Wham! Thud! Bash! Trample! Crush! Stampede!
Hirohiko got up out of the cement, dribbling little clumps of it, as the chase scene went around a corner.
Abe slowly got out of his truck. "Hiko?"
"Don't start. Don't even go there. Just get the hose, please. Thank you."
Abe scratched his head but moved to comply. Therefore he didn't see how the panda had doubled back.
WHAM! Splut! Wham! Wham! Thud! Bash! Trample! Crush! Stampede!
Abe brought the hose over. "Abe?"
A pile of dirt and wet concrete feebly waved an arm.
Abe shrugged. Sometimes it was better not to ask questions.
It was good to be wealthy.
Mikado Sanzennin rubbed a speck off the paint of his new sportscar. This baby was going to bring in the chicks, and he had his eye set on a very special target. She hung around with some bishonen type, but once she saw him with the new suit in this baby - she was gonna be his. Number 2000 coming up! He'd even gotten a special imported Italian leisure suit and matching pants for the occasion. Soon he would claim the lips of the violinist Michiru Kaioh!
Heck, maybe he'd even add her to the second list. Ah, it was hard work being the Japanese Casanova, but someone had to claim that title away from that Ten'ou person.
Hmmm? Where was that horrible music coming from? And why was it getting louder?
Mikado Sanzennin slowly turned. Ah, a panda was running around that corner and coming this way? Well, he was a martial artist - and maybe he could score some points with local girls by defending them from the bloodthirsty beast.
Whud!
Mikado Sanzennin went flying through the window of the "Hagoramo Baby Food Factory" to land in Vat #7.
Whang-crunch-crunch-crunch (This being the sound of a horribly expensive foreign sportscar being run over by a panda.)
Screech! This somehow being the sound of said panda making a high speed ninety degree turn and going down an alley.
"Damn," said Mikado as he limped back to his car, sardine paste dripping off of imported silk. "Who knew pandas could hit that hard? Ahhh, my car!"
As he heard the rumbling of an approaching crowd, Mikado had just enough time to look up and scream in horror before

soft elevator music here) In order that we not offend any car enthusiasts in the audience, the painful blow-by-blow details of a fine European sportscar being reduced to the past tense have been censored. We now return to the chase scene, still in progress. Thank you. - the author |
