Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A Grail?!? ❯ Foreword and Prologue ( Prologue )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

A Grail?!?
A Sailor Moon/Monty Python crossover/parody... thingy.
By Jason C. Ulloa


Foreword

I know what you're thinking. Sailor Moon and Monty Python, of all things?!? Kami-sama, this guy must be off his
rocker! Sailor Moon's a shoujo, magical-girl anime from Japan; Monty Python's a comedy troupe from England (funny as hell,
I might add). Two different genres from two different countries. Not much in common, right?
Except, of course, for a grail.
The Holy Grail, to be exact.
In this story, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is going to be told again, but this time, the cast of
Takeuchi-sensei's Sailor Moon is going to be coming along for the ride... err, search.
If you haven't seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I feel sorry for you, you poor soul. You don't know what
you're missing. What're you waiting for?!? Get off the computer, go to whichever video store you have a membership with,
and rent the bloody thing!

Are you still here? GO! GO, NOW!!!
Don't worry; this fic will still be here when you get back.

[Twiddles thumbs]

Well? Did you go see it? Anyway, whether you did or didn't, let's continue....

Oh, and one more thing. This is a crossover/parody... thingy, thus:

- The normal rules of fanfiction writing do not apply here.
- The normal rules of the English language do not apply here.
- The normal rules of the Japanese language do not apply here.
- Normal usage of the first-person, second-person, third-person, third-person omniscient, know-it-all-smarty-pants,
or any other form of POV does not apply here.
- Sanity - or making any kind of sense, for that matter - whether lacking or in abundance, does not apply here.
- IC, OOC, WAFF, PWP, C&C, NCAA, ASAP, R&B, PB&J, M&M, CNN, ABC, NBC, AT&T, WWF, WCW, NBA, NFL, NHL, USN, USAF,
USMC, C.O.D., S.O.B., T.N.T., BINGO, EIEIO, and anything else you can find in a bowl of Alpha-Bits or alphabet soup does
not apply here.
- The actual airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, whether African or European, does not apply here.
- Anything that may apply here... does not apply here.
- The only rules are those I make up along the way. I control the horizontal. I control the vertical. I control
the remote control. As lord and master over this work of fanfiction, I reign supreme!!!

[Lightning flashes and thunder roars in the distance] AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Ahem.... At any rate, now that we have an understanding - I think - it's time to get this... thingy... started.

Disclaimer thingy: Sailor Moon - not mine. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - not mine. They belong to those people/companies
to whom they belong to... or, something like that. The character, Kino Ryoku/Sailor Knight, however, is mine. All mine.
If you use him without my permission, I'll sic him, the rest of the Sailor Senshi, the Knights of Nee, and Ronald, the
amazing dust bunny, after you. So, there.

Be afraid.... Be very afraid.


-------------------------------------------------


Prologue

{It is sometime in the afternoon as Ryoku walks toward the Hikawa Jinja... uh, Temple... or, was the translation Shrine?
At any rate, he was going there to meet with the rest of the girls and the cats. The why isn't important. Just go along
with it, okay? I don't really need to explain every little detail, do I? [A crumpled piece of paper thwacks narrator in
the head] OW! Hey, who threw that? [Opens paper and reads] 'Yes, you do need to explain everything, *baka. And please
remember to add little stars to the beginning of the Japanese words you use and place the translations underneath the
paragraph. **Karei ga kono bun o tsukatte kudasai.' [Narrator blinks and sighs to himself] Some readers can be so
temperamental at times....}
*Stupid
**Please use this sentence as a good example.

Ryoku:
[Thinking idly to himself] 'Mako-chan should be there already. After all, she said she'd meet me there after I
took care of that errand I had to run.'

{A few moments later, he reaches the steps leading to the Shinto shrine. He climbs the steps quickly, taking two at a
time. As he reaches the top, he spots Rei's grandfather trying, once again, to convince a couple of girls to become
priestesses at his temple... and failing.}

Ryoku:
[Shakes his head] There's something to be said for persistence.... I wonder if it comes naturally for old folks?

Grandpa:
[Notices Ryoku and hurries over to him, grinning broadly] Hello there, young lady! How would you like to come
work at my shrine?

Ryoku:
[Grimaces and starts talking patiently] Grandpa... when was the last time you had your eyes checked?

Grandpa:
[Thinks] Hmm... it was sometime last August, I believe.... [Pauses] You have quite a masculine voice, you know.

Ryoku:
[Facefaults] I'm not a girl!

Grandpa:
[Frowns] You could've fooled me.

Ryoku:
[Sighs] Just get your eyes checked again. [To himself as he starts to leave] Idiot.

Grandpa:
[Darkly from behind] What was that?

Ryoku:
[Sweatdrops and grins back sheepishly] Ehehehe.... I'll... just go and meet up with everyone now.... [Quickly
retreats]

{Ryoku enters the room where Rei usually performs her fire readings. Usagi, Ami, Makoto and Minako are all seated in a
row behind her while Luna and Artemis are sitting beside their respective charges. As one, the girls and cats all turn
to watch him enter the room.}

Rei:
[Flatly] So, what kept you?

Ryoku:
[Indifferently as he takes a seat between Ami and Minako] I had business to take care of.

Rei:
[Skeptical] Oh? Really? What kind of business?

Makoto:
[While smirking impishly at Ryoku] He wanted to get back at Haruka-san for whipping him at that racing game...
again.

Ryoku:
[While grimacing indignantly] Sh-shut up! That wasn't it at all!!!

{Everyone is starting to give Ryoku amused grins while he tries to save face}

Makoto:
[Still smirking] The poor guy was so upset after getting beaten five times in a row....

Ryoku:
[Even more embarrassed] Shut up!!!

Minako:
[While patting Ryoku on the shoulder consolingly] Don't take it so hard, Ryo-kun. I mean, she is good....

Makoto:
She gave him a two-lap headstart each time. And she still managed to lap him every time.

Minako:
[Blinks] Woah. Even I'm not that bad.

Usagi:
[Blinks and nods] Yeah. Even I'm better than that.

Ryoku:
[Deadpan] Some consolation you two are.

Rei:
[Tiredly] If you are all finished discussing Ryo-kun's humiliating defeat-

Ryoku:
[Indignantly] HEY!!!

Rei:
[Ignoring him] -then can we get on with this? I'd like to do this reading before the end of the day.

Luna:
[Sighs] Please go ahead, Rei-chan. I'm sure they're finished.

Ryoku:
I know I'd like to get on with it.

Makoto:
[Knowingly] Only because....

Ryoku:
[Warningly] Don't go there, Mako-chan!

Rei:
[Turning toward the flame] At any rate.... [Chanting while moving her hands in various positions in front of
the fire and concentrating] Rin... pyou... tou... sha... kai... jin... retsu... sai... zen!

{On the last word, the fire roars as if it's alive. Everyone present gasps as they see the image of a young man typing
away at a laptop inside the flame. The young man is apparently in his early twenties with short unruly brown hair and
wears glasses. At the moment, he seems unaware of the others watching him until they gasp.}

Young man:
[Jumps back in surprise as soon as he turns toward the others, and starts speaking in English] Holy...! What the
hell...? How in the hell did you get in my shop?!?

Usagi:
[To Minako, Ami, and Ryoku] Can any of you understand what he's saying?

Ami:
[Frowning in concentration] A little.... Something about being holy...?

Ryoku:
[Also frowning in concentration] I think he said something about being in hell....

Minako:
[Also frowning in concentration, but blinking uncertainly] ...and shopping?

Young man:
One moment. [Starts typing away at laptop for a second] There. You should be able to understand me now.

Ami:
He's speaking Japanese now!

Young man:
Not really. I'm still speaking English and you're all still speaking Japanese, but I just set things up so that
you can understand what I'm saying and vice versa.

Artemis:
[blinking uncertainly] You... set things up? What are you talking about?

Rei:
[Frowning warily] Who are you anyway? And what are you doing in the sacred flame? You're definitely not a fire kami.

Young man:
[Laughs] Of course I'm not a fire kami. I'm the author of this fanfic, Jason.

All:
....

Usagi:
Um, Rei-chan, how in the world did you contact a fanfiction author?

Rei:
[Shrugs] How should I know?!?

Usagi:
Aren't you supposed to be able to contact fire kami with that flame... or something? [Frowns] Is it broken?

Rei:
[Crossly] Don't be stupid. Fires don't break down or anything like that.

Makoto:
Is it that time of the month, Rei-chan?

All:
[Sweatdrops while Ryoku and Jason facefault] What?!?

Rei:
[Indignantly while blushing] No, it's not! What gave you that stupid idea?!?

Makoto:
Well, isn't it true that priestesses lose their abilities during that time of the month?

Ryoku:
[Sweatdrops in chagrin] That was Slayers, Mako-chan. Wrong anime.

Makoto:
[Blushes in embarrassment] Oh. Never mind.

Minako:
Rei-chan, could it be because your hands were moving as if you were playing cat's cradle instead of the usual
hand positions?

Rei:
[Flustered] I-I was doing no such thing!

Minako:
[Pointing] Then, what's that in your lap?

Rei:
[Grabbing the cat's cradle string and tucking it underneath her robes] Nothing.

Jason:
[While smirking] This is all fun and everything, but I'm still trying to figure out why I'm standing in the
middle of this fire and not in my shop. I've got a lot of work to do, you know. My fics won't write themselves.

Ami:
We were trying to find out about the Holy Grail.

Jason:
[Blinks] Wasn't it destroyed near the end of the S season?

Usagi:
[Nods] Well, yeah, but that was only in the anime. The Holy Grail wasn't destroyed in the manga.

Luna:
[Dryly] Usagi-chan, you're breaking character. We're not supposed to know about the manga, anime, or even the
fact that we're really in a work of fanfiction written by the very person we're speaking with!

Usagi:
[Shrugs] So? Didn't you read the Foreword?

Luna:
[Blinks] Oh.... Never mind, then. Please continue.

Usagi:
[Stares at the reader] How about you? Did you read the Foreword, or did you just skip right to the story? [Gets
up and starts moving her arms and hands in the familiar ridiculous Sailor Moon poses she does in the anime] I can't
stand people who skim through a writer's notes! The authors who write them are trying their hardest to explain things
they write to the people who read them. To ignore that small act of kindness which they took the time to write is
unforgivable! On behalf of the Moon....

Luna:
Now, you're pushing it, Usagi-chan.

Usagi:
Oops. [Bows] Sorry. Force of habit. [Sits back down]

Makoto:
[Deadpan] Can we continue?

Usagi/Luna:
Please do.

Makoto:
At any rate, we all figured that since Rei-chan had that vision at the beginning of the season, then she might
be able to find out about the manga version of the Holy Grail.

Jason:
You won't be able to use the manga version of the Holy Grail.

All:
What?!?

Ami:
Why is that, Jason-san?

Jason:
You see, the anime universe and the manga universe run in parallel. Occasionally, an element will cross both
universes like a line that intersects two parallel planes. For those of you that aren't geometrically-inclined, think
of it as a staircase in a two-story house. Both floors have a place where the floor meets with the staircase, but that
doesn't necessarily mean that both floors are identical.

All except for Ami and Ryoku:
[Boggling] Eh?

Ami:
[Nods] So, what does this have to do with us in the anime universe not being able to use the manga Holy Grail?

Jason:
Going back to the staircase example, you don't use the staircase in the exact same way in order to move between
floors, do you? In a two-story house where there are no floors above the second and there is no basement, you can only
go up from the first floor and down from the second floor. You can't go up from the second floor, can you? The same
thing applies when using objects from parallel universes. They don't function in the exact same way that the same
object in your universe functions. No matter how close it may seem, there is always a slight difference and that
slight difference is enough to keep you from using it.

Minako:
So, if what you're saying is true, then is there any other Holy Grails that we can use?

Jason:
The only way that you could use it is if your universe was an intermediary universe, otherwise known as an amalgam
universe. However, this universe is more commonly referred to as the fanfiction universe.

Artemis:
Fanfiction universe?

Jason:
Yes. The fanfiction universe is infinitely malleable. It is a universe of possibilities. Infinite possibilities.
Depending upon the infinite choices and decisions and possibilities that have occurred over time, there are an untold
number of reflections in the fanfiction universe that those who have the ability can visit. Those of us who are inclined
toward writing occasionally write of our visits. Thus comes the term, fanfiction.

Luna:
Wait. The... ability? Are you saying that you have the ability to visit these... reflections... of the fanfiction
universe?

Jason:
[Nods] And I write about my visits, yes. In fact, you all just caught me as I was finishing the fic on my last
visit. [Turns back to his laptop and hits a few keys] There. Done.

Ryoku:
If I understand you correctly, then there is no way that we can find another Holy Grail?

Jason:
I didn't say that.

Ryoku:
[As he folds his arms impatiently] Then, what are you saying, Jason-kun?

Jason:
I can help you in your search for another Holy Grail.

All:
[Shocked] What?!? How???

Jason:
[Grinning mischievously] On one condition.

Usagi:
What is it?

Jason:
I finished my last fic just now. I was planning on returning in order to gather material to write another one,
so if I let you all accompany me to the fanfiction universe, then you all have to let me write about it.

Ryoku:
[Raises an eyebrow] Is that all? And I thought that it would be something big....

Jason:
[As he starts typing away at his laptop] Oh, I forgot to mention two more things.

Makoto:
And what are those?

Jason:
Well, first of all, I'll be requiring them to come along as well. [Points behind everyone]

{Everyone turns at once and finds Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru standing behind them, looking very bewildered.}

Haruka:
[Sounding annoyed] Hey! What're we doing here?

Michiru:
Is this supposed to be some sort of practical joke or something?

Hotaru:
[To Setsuna] Setsuna-mama, what's going on?

Setsuna:
[Sighing fatalistically] Oh, not again....

Ryoku:
[To Jason as the rest of the Inner Senshi fill in the Outers on what's been happening] And what's the second
thing you forgot to mention?

Jason:
[Warningly as he types at his laptop again] Don't turn around.

Ryoku:
[Snorts skeptically as he turns around] And why shouldn't I turn arou.... [Gets cut off as Haruka suddenly grabs
him, embraces him and starts kissing him passionately]

Everyone else:
[Staring in utter disbelief] ....

Jason:
[Laughing out loud] That's why. You see, in the fanfiction world, fanfiction authors - like myself - have the
ability to influence the reflection we visit. We can bend it to our will and effectively control the actions of those
around us. [Grins widely] Those of us who are very experienced in this practice can also influence the other two
universes within a certain distance. Myself, I can affect people within a 2.5km radius. [Notices that Haruka and Ryoku
are still... well, they're still at it] Um... I think I made my point.

{After Jason types at his laptop, Haruka and Ryoku quickly break away from each other and just stare at each other
in complete shock and disbelief. Then, they turn to Jason and scowl angrily.}

Jason:
[Nonchalantly] I wouldn't do anything rash... [Waves his hands over his laptop] ...unless you want to try
that again.

Ryoku/Haruka:
[Both flinch and blush almost imperceptibly... especially Haruka] Eeh.... [Noticing the flat looks that both
Ami and Michiru are giving them] Urk!

Jason:
I didn't think so. Well, now that we've got that out of the way, are you all ready to go search for the Holy
Grail in the fanfiction universe?

All:
....

Jason:
[Sweatdrops] I'll... take that as a yes, I suppose. Well, let's go.

Luna:
Um... I think that this trip will be a great training exercise for you Senshi. Sharpen your skills for when
they might be needed.

Artemis:
[Nods as he catches on to what Luna is saying] That's why we think that you all should go without us. It'll do
you some good to figure things out on your own.

Minako:
[Angrily] Artemis....

Usagi:
[Angrily] Luna....

Jason:
Actually, I think that would be best. After all, where we're headed, I doubt that the people will take to
talking cats. Even if they remain quiet while we're there, they'll stand out.

Artemis/Luna:
[Quietly to each other] Saved....

Jason:
[Glances at the two cats] What was that? You two could still come along, you know.

Artemis/Luna:
[Big sweats] Ah!!! Uh, no, no, no, that's quite all right, thank you very much! We'll be fine right here, okay?

Usagi/Minako:
[Blank expressions] ....

Jason:
Well, since that's settled, let's get going.

Ami:
Um, Jason-san, how are we going to get to the fanfiction universe?

Jason:
Simple. All of you are going to transform into your Senshi forms and enter the fire. Don't worry; it'll be all
right. Oh, before I forget, I will not be with all of you... at least, not in the physical sense.

Michiru:
You mean, you will be following us as a ghost?

Jason:
[Shrugs] If you want to put it in those terms, that's correct. However, that doesn't mean that I can't affect
anything while we're there. But, as a personal policy, I tend to refrain from interfering as much as possible. A good
deal of fanfiction authors follow the same policy that I do about non-interference. Don't expect too much from me, if
anything, but don't think that I won't do anything if necessary.

Hotaru:
[To Setsuna] Are we supposed to be reassured by this, Setsuna-mama?

Setsuna:
I suppose the phrase, 'It's better than nothing' is supposed to apply here. However, that doesn't help very much.

Jason:
[Flatly to Setsuna] Keep talking like that, Pluto. I'll remember that when the Earth Scout Chronicles reaches
the Identity Crisis series.

Setsuna:
[Eyes widen] .... [Bows] My apologies.

Usagi:
[Reaches to grab her transformation brooch, but pauses] Um... what season are we in for this fanfic, Jason-san?

Jason:
[Blinks] Oh, I completely forgot about that! Um... well, since I haven't seen the Stars series at this time,
we'll stick with the SuperS series, sans Chibiusa.

Usagi:
[Happily] No Chibiusa? Oh, I could kiss you for that! [Pauses] Um, what about Mamo-chan? Shouldn't we be
bringing him in, too?

Jason:
I think we can leave him out of this one. [To himself] With what I have in mind, I think he'll thank me for it.

Usagi:
[Frowns] Well, I'd rather have Mamo-chan as well, but if it means that Chibiusa isn't in this fic with us,
then it should be all right. After all, I'm still a little peeved that she got so much air time in the SuperS series
at the expense of my friends.

Ami/Rei/Makoto/Minako:
Damn right!

Haruka:
Us Outer Senshi didn't even show up again until the Stars season! I'm still a little mad about that!

Jason:
All right! All right, already! [sighs] Anyway, just transform and follow me into the flame. [Disappears]

{The ten stare at the flame for a few seconds before pulling out their transformation items - Usagi had to take a
moment to remember which brooch was for which season - and said their transformation phrases.}

Ami:
Mercury crystal power, make up!

Rei:
Mars crystal power, make up!

Makoto:
Jupiter crystal power, make up!

Minako:
Venus crystal power, make up!

Ryoku:
Knight crystal sword power, make up!

Hotaru:
Saturn planet power, make up!

Haruka:
Uranus planet power, make up!

Michiru:
Neptune planet power, make up!

Setsuna:
Pluto planet power, make up!

Usagi:
Moon crisis.... [Pauses] Um, can I use this transformation without Chibiusa?

Jason:
[Reappears typing away at his laptop] Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. [Stops typing] Okay. You should be all right
now. [Disappears again]

Usagi:
All right! Moon crisis, make up!

{After the transformations are complete, each of the Sailor Senshi enters the flame, one by one. As the enter the flame,
they vanish, only to reappear beside Jason, standing in the middle of a huge grassy plain. It's just past dawn and the
air is slightly foggy. Visibility is good for only a 50m radius.}

Jason:
[Nods] Good. You're all here.

Sailor Neptune:
Where are we?

Jason:
[Grinning slyly] England. 932 A.D. to be exact.

All:
England?!?

Sailor Uranus:
What the hell are we doing in England???

Sailor Venus:
And in 932 A.D.?

Jason:
Why else? To search for a Holy Grail. [Tilts his head as if listening to something in the distance] Oh, and
here comes the man that'll help lead you to it, if I'm not mistaken.

Sailor Knight:
[Darkly] And if you are mistaken?

Jason:
[Shrugs] We'll worry about that when we have to. [Starts to fade away] Don't worry. If worse comes to worse,
I'll help you guys out. And no derogatory comments about me while I'm gone! I still have my laptop, you know! [Disappears
completely]

Sailor Pluto:
[With dread] Wait. England... in 932 A.D.? He doesn't mean...?

Sailor Mercury:
[Catching on] You mean...?

Sailor Knight:
[Also catching on] No. Not....

{Everyone turns around to watch what seems to be the top of a helmet bobbing slightly up and down as if riding a horse.
As the rider approaches, the Senshi begin to see more and more of the armored rider. When he reaches the top of the hill,
each of the Sailor Senshi's jaws drop at once. The rider is not riding a horse, but is, in fact, hopping up and down
and skipping along as he pretends to be riding one. His hands are poised in front of him as if holding imaginary reigns.
Behind him, a man who has the look of a servant about him and is carrying a huge backpack laden with supplies is steadily
banging a pair of coconut halves together to simulate the sound of a horse's hooves hitting the ground.}

Sailor Jupiter:
[Dryly] You've gotta be kidding me.

Sailor Saturn:
Why is that man prancing around like that?

Sailor Knight:
Because he's an idiot, Saturn. That's why.

Sailor Saturn:
[Nods] Oh.

Sailor Mars:
[Incredulously] He's the one that's supposed to lead us to the Holy Grail?!? I'd rather have Jason-san lead us!
[Jumps out of the way, barely avoiding a huge rock that had suddenly appeared overhead] Hey! What the...? [Reading the
words carved on the rock] 'I heard that. -Jason.'

All:
....

Sailor Mars:
Remind me not to insult him again.

Sailor Moon:
That wouldn't help much.

Sailor Mars:
[Indignantly] And what do you mean by that?

Sailor Moon:
That you insult people without thinking about it.

Sailor Mars:
Well, if some people wouldn't act so stupid so often, then they would have nothing to be insulted about, now
would they?

Sailor Moon:
[Angrily] Is that so?

Sailor Mars:
[Angrily] That's.... [Sees two rocks overhead] Look out!!!

{A pair of rocks hit the ground where Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars were standing. On each of the rocks are engraved
the words 'Shut up! -Jason' in very large letters.}

Sailor Jupiter:
[Sweatdrops] Boy, he knows how to make a point, doesn't he?

Sailor Mercury:
[Sweatdrops and nods] Yeah.... But, does it have to be in such an immature, cartoonish sort of way?

{A sign appears in front of Sailor Mercury, saying 'I like you, so I'll give you this as a warning. -Jason'}

Sailor Knight:
[Smirking while Mercury blushes slightly] I guess we know who's the favorite, right, Jupiter?

Sailor Jupiter:
[Smirking at Mercury's discomfiture] I guess so.

Sailor Mercury:
I'm not sure what to think about this....

{By this time, the man on horseback... um... I mean, the hopping man finally reaches the Sailor Senshi. He raises his
hand upward as a signal to his servant, who immediately stops his coconut banging in response.}

Hopping man:
[While staring curiously at their... clothing} What manner of dress is this? Who are you people and why are
you dressed so funny?

All:
....

Sailor Moon:
[To the others] Did any of you understand him? Mercury? Venus? Knight?

{Just as they were about to answer, a piece of paper suddenly flies in on a strong gust of wind and smacks Sailor
Moon in the face. She pulls it off and reads 'Oops. Sorry about that. It should be fixed now. -Jason'.}

Sailor Moon:
[To Hopping man] I'm sorry. What was that you said again?

Hopping man:
[Blinks] For a moment there, I thought you were speaking.... Never mind. What I wanted to know is who are
you people?

Sailor Knight:
That would take too long to explain, sir, but we are on a quest to find a sacred relic of the past.

All:
[Sweatdrops while staring at Sailor Knight] ....

Hopping man:
A quest, you say? [Nods] Well, I wish you luck in it. My name is Arthur, King of the Britons. I am on a quest
myself. I am searching the land for strong and brave knights to join me at my court in Camelot. I am journeying
toward the castle of one such knight now.

Sailor Knight:
If I may make a request, sire, may we accompany you on your quest? You see, a great and powerful wizard sent
us here in order to find this sacred relic. We do not know our way around this land. Furthermore, I believe that the
great wizard has sent us here on purpose in order to meet you. You might be able to help us find what we seek.
[Kneels] Sire, may we accompany you? [Glances back at the others and gestures for them to do the same. They do so
reluctantly.]

Sailor Venus:
[Whispers] What's with you, Knight? Why're you doing this? [Sailor Knight hands her a large stack of bound
papers with the words 'A Grail?!? Script' written in large letters on the front.] Oh. Never mind, then.

King Arthur:
[Considers the group for a moment] Hmm.... There is something about the ten of you.... Very well. I shall allow
you to accompany me. However, you must provide for your own horses.

Senshi:
....

King Arthur:
Besides, I, too, have read the script. And if I don't let you all come with me, Jason is going to drop a
big rock on my head. Now, let's get going.

Sailor Neptune:
[To the rest as King Arthur starts hopping away] I am not going to hop.

Sailor Uranus:
[Aside to Neptune] I'd offer to give a piggyback ride, but it would just make us look silly.

Sailor Neptune:
[Smiling back at Uranus] I don't know.... Maybe I'd like a ride... later.

{A piece of paper suddenly smacks Uranus in the face. She takes it off, reads it, grimaces and hands it to Neptune.
The paper says 'No innuendos.... Well, maybe a few here and there, but not too many. I am a guy, you know. But,
nothing too suggestive. Heh, heh.... -Jason'.}

Sailor Uranus:
[Exasperated] Is he trying to be annoying?

Sailor Neptune:
Well, this is a parody... thingy.

Sailor Uranus:
[Annoyed] Like that's supposed to explain anything.... [Pauses as she spots a sign in front of her saying,
'Too bad. Now, stop complaining and get going! -Jason'.]

Sailor Neptune:
[Sighs as she and the other Senshi start following King Arthur] This is going to be quite a journey....


-------------------------------------------------


Afterword

And so ends the prologue. This fanfic is my first real attempt at a parody, so try to keep that in mind when to tell
me how bad a job I did. If you think I did a good job, please, let me know! I'm very self-conscious, so I pretty much
soak up the encouragement and praise. Also, this pseudo-script format is another first for me. I figure that since I'm
crossing over an actual movie with Sailor Moon, why not use the pseudo-script format? It's a mere whim of mine. Anyway,
coming soon to a website near you....
