From: "P. Rico" Well, yesterday was my birthday and I had to spend it at work (*sigh*). So I decided to write a little skit about how I wish I would have spent my birthday. Hence the name... Disclaimer: Rurouni Kenshin and the characters are not mine. Hey, why don't well pool our money and buy the rights. Of course, I got dibs on Aoshi ^-^. ****************** "How I Wish I Spent My Birthday" by P.Rico [P.Rico is lounging in her room the morning of her birthday flipping through some Kenshin manga and listening to the OAV soundtrack (Taku Iwasaki is AWESOME!). Enter best friend, Jen.] Jen: Hi, P-chan. Happy birthday! P: Thanks, Jen. (Call me P-chan again and die.) I'm so glad I don't have to go to work today. Jen: Well, your day is going to get better once I give you my gift. Who are your favorite TV characters? P: Let's see...Data... Jen: No. P: Is this a trick question? Jen: Forget it. Now behind door #1...[Opens door. Enter 4 feet 11 inches of endless energy.] P: Wow! Makimachi Misao! I didn't know you were talking about animated characters. Misao: Hi! Happy Birthday! P: And she speaks English! Jen: Wait, there's more. [Enter a tall, slender man in a blue uniform, smoking a cigarette.] P: Saitou Hajime! HOW COOL!! Saitou: *puff,puff* Jen: And last but not least... [Enter HIM.] P: *gasp* Shinomori Aoshi! *swoon* [melts into puddle]. Saitou: What's with her? Jen: I think she's just excited about seeing Aoshi. Misao: I know exactly how she feels *hearts*. But she better not get any ideas. Aoshi: ....... Saitou: Ahou. *puff* [A little later.] P: A day with my three favorite "Rurouni Kenshin" characters. This is soooooo cool. The perfect birthday. Misao: What now? P: First breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us. [Everybody piles into Jen's tin can of death...uh, I mean car, and goes to the local International House of Pancakes.] Waitress: Welcome to IHOP. Will that be smoking or non-smoking? [Everybody looks at Saitou and his ever present cigarette.] P: What do YOU think? Waitress: Please follow me. [At the table.] Waiter: Hello, I'm Chuck. I'll be your waiter today. Here are some menus. [To Misao] Would you like a child's menu? Misao: Child's menu?!? [Whips out kunai] I'm sixteen you jerk. [Throws kunai]. Waiter: ACK! Misao: Oops. Aoshi: ....... Jen: Um, maybe we should go to McDonalds. Saitou: Ahou ga. *puff, puff* [After breakfast.] P: Let's see, what do I want to do next? Misao: Before we do anything, we need to talk. [Takes P.Rico aside]. P:What's up? Misao: Don't play innocent with me! I saw the way you were looking at Aoshi-sama during breakfast. P: Do you blame me? Besides, It's my fantasy. Misao: Fantasy?! P: Get your mind out of the gutter. It's not THAT kind of fantasy. (If it were, you wouldn't be here.) Misao: Oh. P: Don't worry, Misao. I'm not going to try to put the moves on your Aoshi. (For one thing, I wouldn't know where to start.) Misao: Oh, well, then. Okay. Thanks. P: Well, since we're friends again, do you think you can show me that kunai throw you pulled on that waiter? Misao: Sure, no problem. [Lunch Time. The Rico Residence.] P: I just ordered the pizzas. They'll be here in thirty minutes or less or not. Jen: I'll go get the chips and dip. Misao: I'll get the drinks. Saitou: I'm going to go smoke. [Everyone leaves, leaving Aoshi and P.Rico alone.] [Silence] P: So, big boy, when are you going to tell Misao how you really feel? Aoshi: [glare] P: Don't look at me like that. You realize who's writing this lousy skit, don't you? I can make you do anything I want. Aoshi: [glare] P: How does an elaborate gushing confession of love in front of everybody (including Saitou) sound? Aoshi: [reaches for kodachi] P: (nervously) Or, maybe I can help Misao and Jen with the food. [runs away quickly] Aoshi:....... Saitou: (looking in through the window) Ahou ga *puff*. [Then end of the day, and not a moment to soon.] P: Ah, well, the end to the best day of my life. Misao: [smiles] Saitou: [smokes] Aoshi:........ P: I guess you guys have to go now. Misao: Yeah, but maybe we'll come back next year. P: But before you go, we have to have a sing along. Jen: We do? Misao: Cool. Aoshi:........ Saitou: Ahou ga. P: Alright, everybody. Sing along..... Hitori de wa, ttoi ashita wo Yoake no mama de koeteyuku Aishou yori mo, fukai futari wa Sure chigatte kamawanai End completely insane fic. ******************* Well, if you are still with me, you are a brave soul. BTW the reason Saitou and Aoshi don't talk much is because I figured they probably wouldn't have much to say to me. Have a nice day (or night, whatever)^_^. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
