Note: According to Jean, Zel and Kurama belong to her. According to Anne, Hikaru belongs to her. Zel and Amelia belong to Rei Azuyami. Kurama and Hiei belong to Yoshihiro Togashi.

Mandy set down the phone and turned to her friend, "Jean I have some, uhhh, surprising news for you."

Jean looked up from her bed where she was reading some weird anime magazine. "Shoot."

"Zelgadis has been abducted by space aliens," Mandy said, wincing. She braced herself for an emotional outburst from Jean. It never came.

"Mandy, if you want to scare me you'll have to do better than that."

"But it's true! He's been kidnapped by the dreaded Ameliolites. Apparently in the name of justice. Something about marrying their ruler..."

"You have been reading way to many of my fan ficts. Mandy. Maybe you need a brake, here, read some classic literature," Jean tossed a Ranma comic book in Mandy's direction.

"Fine, don't believe me. But don't say I didn't warn you."

The Ameliolites princess jumped into her captives handcuffed arms. "Hello Zel," she squealed, "You are going to marry me in the name of Justice!" Zelgadis groaned, wishing he could cover his ears. Was there any torture worse than listening to an Ameliolite's Justice speeches? Again the princess asked him to marry her, again he refused, but he wouldn't be able to bear it much longer and he was considering giving in. If only someone would save him, like Jean for instance...

Mandy turned to Anne, "... and that's the problem. Will you help me?"

"One question, shouldn't Jean rescue her own boyfriend?" Anne asked from her resting place on Mandy's floor.

"But I already told you! Jean doesn't believe me!"

(Jean: Yes I do, I'm merely getting my Jen-Ohki space ship! MEOW!

Mandy: Shut up Jean.)

"Sigh. I suppose it is up to us. I guess this means we have to transform into the... FASHION SCOUTS! No, wait, that doesn't sound fit, we need a new name," Anne scratched her head, "I know! We can be the... SPACE SCOUTS!" Grinning, Anne transformed into her green Sailor Kitty outfit.

"Awww. Can't we something else?" Mandy whined, "I hate that stupid sailor outfit! What super hero/heroine would wear a sailor outfit? I think they need to change the dress code!"

"Shut your yap and morph!" Anne bellowed. Still complaining, Mandy transformed into her orange Sailor Carrot outfit. "This time don't bring any blue hair dye," Anne reminded Mandy, or should we say Sailor Carrot? "Zel's hair is already blue. Or is it purple...?"

One of the advantages of being a Fashion Scouts, oops! I mean Space Scouts, is that you get to travel by weird swirly thing. Mandy and Anne, after setting the destination, hopped through.

"Got the camera Mandy?" Anne asked as she surveyed the chained chimera.

"Right here, hey aren't you supposed to call me Sailor Carrot?" Mandy asked, producing a Polaroid camera.

"Naw. Takes to long."

"Who are you guys?" Zel looked up at the two girls standing in front of him.

Mandy whispered to Zel, "You shouldn't have asked that!"

Anne took a deep breath and announced, "We are the...

Space Scouts!"

"Now you've done it Anne! Those creepy justice guards must have heard you. Lets take the pictures and leave."

Click! Snap! Resetting the Weird Swirly Thing, Anne and Mandy jumped through. What was that? Zel wondered.

"Get your grabby hands of me you funny little pervert!" Mandy cried, hitting Hiei in the head with a large carrot club. Anne smiled at Hikaru (Hey! Aren't those lines proof that history repeats itself?!)

"What are you guys doing here in you Fashion Scout outfits?" Jean yelled. The camera had hit her head and she wasn't very happy.

"We changed the name. We're now the Space Scouts," Mandy said as she kicked Hiei in the face. She held the pictures out to Jean, "See? Proof that Zel has been kidnapped!"

"Oh my gosh! You're right!" Jean morphed quickly into her blue Sailor A.M.O. outfit.

"What's going on?" Kurama asked, "Why are you dressed in those costumes?"

Mandy hurriedly explained, "The terrible Ameliolite aliens have captured a friend of Jean's and we have to save him. Want to come along?"

Kurama shrugged, "Sure"

Hikaru and Hiei added, "Us to!"

Mandy wailed, "Why me God? Why me?" Meanwhile, Anne reset the Weird Swirly Thing and the group jump through. Mandy followed.

"Where are we?" Kurama asked, looking around. They had landed in a very messy room. A bird chirped.

Mandy turned pink with embarrassment, "Anne, if you can't set it right, have me set the Weird Swirly Thing."

Kurama repeated his question as Mandy reset the Weird Swirly Thing again, and jumped through. "We're in Mandy's room," Jean explained, following Mandy.

"Ooof!" Jean landed on top of Zel.

"Jean!"

"Mandy, guards ahead!"

"Get off of me, Kurama!"

"Carrot Bomb!"

ZOICK!!!!

"Fur Ball!" (Mandy: Eww Anne, that's disgusting!)

HACK! COUGH!!!!

"Instant Mallet^tm!"

WHAM!!!!

"VICTORY!"

The group stood stood under a tree (except for Hiei, who was in the tree) relaxing. Zel was back were he belonged, the planet of the Ameliolites was destroyed (for the good of all intelligent aliens), and they Space Scouts were beat (as in tiered, they won).

Mandy jumped up, "Well time to go!"

"Can't we stay a little longer?" both Anne and Jean complained.

"Nope. Don't we have a geometry project due tomorrow?"

"Project? What project?" horror spread over Jean's face.

"Oh no! I forgot all about it!" Anne cried, jumping through the Weird Swirly Thing.

"Bye Kurama!" Jean shouted, following Anne.

Mandy paused a second. "Come here Hiei. I have a present for you," Hiei scooted to Mandy's side as she produced a wrapped package, "Now don't open it until the Weird Swirly Thing is closed." Hiei nodded and Mandy went through the Weird Swirly Thing, which closed behind her.

Hiei leaped into a tree and began to unwrap the gift.

ZOICK!!!!

"What happened?" Kurama asked Hikaru. Orange goo was everywhere.

Hikaru gasped, in between chuckles, "Mandy gave Hiei a carrot bomb!" Kurama laughed loudly.
