melredcapMEL: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
[Mel runs past the startled G-boys at top speed, hair flying, arms waving everywhere. Her glasses are steamed up.]
QUATRE: Ummm… Christy… what’s going on?
[Mel runs past in the opposite direction.]
MEL: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
DUO: Did she get into the sugar tin again?
CHRISTY: *grumble* No.
MEL: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
WUFEI: Duo… have you been doing anything we need to know about? For example, putting drugs in the cola?
DUO: No! Would I do anything like that?!
EVERYBODY: Yes!
MEL: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
WUFEI: I seem to remember _somebody_ trying to drug the muses and getting Mel by mistake. She acted amazingly annoying that time, too.
DUO: Er… true. Wasn’t me this time, though!
MEL: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
HEERO (wincing as the ear-piercing squeal dopplers past): Are you _sure_?
CHRISTY: It wasn’t him. At least, I don’t know if Mel is drugged or not, but she does have a reason to be acting this way.
[Christy pulls a frying pan out of the cupboard and holds it out to one side.]
MEL: WHEEEEEEEEEE-*clang!* …ooooo. *THUD*
TROWA: Well, that’s a little more peaceful at least.
HEERO: Until she wakes up again, anyway. What’s going on?!
CHRISTY: *sigh* Mel’s Japanese lecturer called. She’s going on a student exchange program.
QUATRE: Oh! That’s nice!
CHRISTY: No it’s _not_!
DUO: Er… why not?
CHRISTY: *grumble* Because.
TROWA: Mel seems to be happy.
CHRISTY: Well of course she is! She’s always wanted to go to Japan.
HEERO: …Japan?
CHRISTY: Kanazawa University, to be precise.
HEERO (mutter): Maybe I should warn the Self-Defence Forces to prepare for a worse monster than Godzilla ever was…
WUFEI: So why aren’t you happy?
CHRISTY: It’s going to be bloody hard to write with her in Japan and me stuck here.
[The G-boys all develop huge grins. Quatre attempts to conceal his, and Trowa’s is more of a smirk, but Heero, Duo and Wufei are all acting like an advertisement for White’N’Brite Toothpaste.]
QUATRE: Well, she’ll be back soon, I’m sure—
CHRISTY: In a _year_! A whole year!
[The grins widen.]
CHRISTY: *sigh* I suppose it can’t be helped.
QUATRE: Exactly! Calm resignation is the proper frame of mind to take this sort of news in!
HEERO: Accept the consequences.
WUFEI: It’s for her studies. That’s more important than writing. Perhaps she’ll improve her mind.
DUO: *snort* Yeah, right.
TROWA: You’ll adapt. So will we.
CHRISTY: Yep. Got to approach this in a positive sort of way. OI! Mel! Wake up! We’ve got to write really fast to get as much done as possible before you leave!
G-BOYS: *gleep!*
--------------------------
Okay… Yes, the writing team of Mel and Christy will be split up for a year, starting in early October. But fear not! We’ll be keeping in touch over the Internet, and will try to set up a writing schedule as close as possible to what we’ve been doing so far. We’re likely to slow down a bit, but we are NOT going to stop! All our stories will be continued. We promise!

Living in Japan.
you do not know me but I am a devoted reader/visitor to your site. When I saw you were coming to Japan I had to send a little comment. My name is Tea and I am an American living just outside Osaka, Japan. The country is really beautiful and the people are very nice. As a westerner you'll be able to get away with quite a few things. You should really enjoy your year here and it will go by quicker then you expect, I've already been here for three months. Anyway just wanted to say that I hope you'll enjoy Japan and its people. By the way, they still air InuYashi and boy is Sesshomaru-sama yummy. Better Go, Tea (tresaileen@hotmail.com)
