Author's Notes: Well, I only have few things to say. One, I know Andrew's last name is Crown in the DIC dub, but I didn't like it. Two, I know his first name was Motoki, but I decided to use it as his last name instead. Three, this is only my second completed fic, so please forgive it. And now, on with the fic!! ^_^ \/
For the Love of the Game Andrew Motoki mopped the floor of the Crown Arcade. Then again. And again. And again. "Geez, ever since last week when the Sailor Scouts defeated that weird monster, it's been kinda boring around here," he muttered to himself. "And as usual, my little sister had a date to go out on, so of COURSE, Pop left me to clean up. And due to the new Fushigi Yuugi game, girls have been drooling in here all day! If only something would happen!" FOOSH!! The doors of the arcade whooshed apart and a girl with black hair ran in. Four other girls followed her with bemused expressions on their faces. "WHERE IS THE GAME? Rachel, I thought you said there was a new Fushigi Yuugi game here!" "In the corner Jean. Right next to-" the brown-haired girl in the violet skirt whispered something to the one addressed as 'Jean'. Andrew stared at her. Rachel was one of the prettiest girls he'd ever seen before. He leaned against his mop and stared at her... "Rachel, that guy over there is staring at you. I'll assume you lay dibs?" said the girl next to her. Rachel blushed, and nudged the other girl. "Mary!" "What's wrong? I think he's kinda cute. Not like Hikaru, but still cute," said the girl with REALLY long hair. "Uh guys? I think we ought to go unglue Jean from the machine over there," said the girl with orange hair. "She's proving her loyalty to the DTFC again." Andrew watched as the foursome attempted to pry their friend off of the console. He listened to them and figured out that the long-haired girl's name was Anne, and the orange-haired girl's name was Mandy. He continued to watch them as they came in day after day to play the games. ~~Two weeks later~~ "HEY!!! WHERE'S THE GAME???!!!" shrieked Jean as they came into the arcade as usual. Anne, Mandy, Mary and Rachel all sweatdropped and went over to Jean. Sure enough the game was gone. "RACHEL, YOU GO ASK WHERE IT IS!!" "Ask who?" "THAT GUY WHO ALWAYS STARES AT YOU! HE WORKS HERE, RIGHT?!" "I think so...either that or he's really into mopping and comes here for fun." "WELL GO ASK HIM!!" Rachel went over to the arcade guy. Mandy and Mary watched as Anne tried to calm Jean down. As Rachel spoke to the blonde man, they saw her blush a little bit. She then came back over to them, still blushing. "WELL?!" "He said that the game is out for repairs, due to its circuits frying from moisture." "Drool?" Rachel nodded. "The DTFC has been out in full force." "Why are you blushing?" asked Anne. "He asked me out." Jean's attention switched from the game to this. "You accepted?" Rachel nodded, turning even brighter red. "MALL TRIP!!!" Jean shrieked, and without further ado, she hauled her friends off to the mall. ~~That evening~~ 'FROOOINN!' 'Weird doorbell.' Andrew thought to himself. "That's not the only thing that's weird around here," said a voice from behind him. Andrew jumped and turned around. Behind him were four other guys. Two of them took him a minute to recognize as boys, as they looked like girls, while the third's hairstyle reminded him of a hedgehog. The fourth man was a pretty average guy. No strange hairstyle, no gender confusion, just another average Joe. The hedgehog guy walked up to the door. He then walked THROUGH the door. The red-haired guy-who-looked-like-a-girl sighed. "Hiei, cut it out. Just tell the girls we're here, all right?" Hiei grumbled, opened a window, and went upstairs. A moment later, fighting could be heard. "BAKA!" "PUMPKIN!" "IT'S NOT PUMPKIN, IT'S CARROT! CARROT!! YOUKAI!!" "NINGEN!!" "Well, at least Mandy knows we're here," observed the black-haired guy-who-looked-like-a-girl. He turned to Andrew, who had a look of sheer terror on his face. "I'm Hikaru, the Weird no Miko. That's Kurama, and that's Kyle, the head of Maryland. Who are you?" "I'm Andrew. I came to take Rachel out." The others looked at him. "Rachel?" Hikaru sat down and thought for a moment. "Rachel, Rachel, Rachel....now where have I heard that name before?" FWOOSH!! A tongue of fire came from the upstairs window. Looking up, Andrew saw Rachel waving a staff with a dragon curled around the end of it. "Anne, your boyfriend forgot who I was again!" "Sorry, sometimes his memory gets a little normal." Andrew shook his head and watched as Rachel and Hikaru yelled at each other for awhile. Then, the girls (and a well toasted Hiei) came downstairs. Kurama and Jean ran off somewhere almost immediately, Anne and Hikaru went off on a spatula, and Hiei and Mandy began to try and kill each other as usual. Andrew and Rachel looked at each other. "Soo, want to go see a movie?" he asked, not sure what to say to a girl who could toast people from an upper story window. "Sure! Princess Mononoke is out, isn't it?" "All right, let's go see that." ~~After the dates~~ "So you guys work for the Goddess Fred?" "Yup! We also terrorize various people from myriad dimensions in our spare time. I believe we've gone after the Sailor Scouts once or twice, thus leading to the formation of the Space Scouts, of which I am a part. That's where that staff comes from." "And you're all demons?" "I believe so. Except for Jean, she's a Saiyan." Andrew looked at her. "Are you a demon?" "Sort of. I suppose some would call me one, on account of my being able to turn partly into a dragon and generally being dragonish." Andrew looked at her. What on Earth have I gotten myself into he wondered. "Hey, would you like to see the Weird World?" Rachel asked him suddenly. "Huh?" "There's a W.S.T. (tm) in the backyard. Would you like to see Nikai?" "Uh, sure!" "Great!" She led him to a swirling vortex, and jumped in. Andrew shrugged, and jumped in after her. ~~Next morning~~ "Andrew? Are you ok?" Darien asked as his friend swept the same part of the floor for the umpteenth time. "Did something happen on your date?" "Hmm? No, everything's fine. In fact, we're going out again tonight!" "So, why do you look like a zombie?" "She's a struggling fic writer..." Darien paled. "Oh no!! Not that!!" He paused. "Is she planning on writing some soon?" "She's got writer's block most of the time." "Thank Kami-sama." "However, she's a member of the Space Scouts." "Space Scouts?" "The Fashion Scouts got a new name." "That's even worse! Are you kidding?" "No, why? The only people they ever bother are the Sailor senshi anyway." Darien looked at his friend. Oh well. Maybe we can use this to our advantage. The End Author's notes: Well, I felt the need to write a fic about Andrew, and I felt the need to write a Nikai fic. Therefore...well, just read for yourself. All praise should be directed toward me, the Lady of Unsanity (jedi_lora@delphiforums.com). All carrots should be directed toward Mandy. All flames should be directed toward Jason Grant, the pyro from Wolf Byte's Sailor Moon fics. Andrew/Motoki belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, though I swipe him quite regularly. ^_^ \/ Everyone else used belongs to their creators. |
