Episode 1 - ('2nd') Pilot - TWOgether again! 4th Wall-Breaking Prologue: Robbie & Ami are standing in a blank Area, directly facing & addressing the viewer... R: Hi, Folks! Remember us? I'm Robbie Anderson from Nezutama. A: And I'm Ami Mizuno AKA Sailor Mercury from the Sailormoon Franchise. R: You may have seen our first Crossover Episode. And obviously, many of you have asked, or better, begged for more, so here is more. We proudly present to you: Both: The Rob & Ami Chronicles! (The two make some room and present the uppopping Series Title with a *Tadaaaa* sound) A: From today on, we'll show you some of the shared Adventures we're going through, occasional ongoing Charachter Developments all inclusive. Both: We hope you'll like it. (Both take a bow, Fade over 'into Action')... Em'dar, the Alien Prince who had been brought up on Earth under the Name of Rob Anderson was in the middle of Preparations for his upcoming Marriage with his girlfriend Bonnie McAllister. Right now, he was standing in a Parking Space with several paper bags full of Groceries in his hands from Early Morning Shopping (Early Morning local New York Time, that was). He wore a yellow buttoned shirt, dark blue Jeans and black Converse Sneakers today. Just as he pushed the Remote key to his car to put the stuff in, he stopped for a Moment and started smiling. "You can come out now. I already sensed your Presence.", he snarked in the direction of an undisclosed person. A female voice responded: - "Aaww. You're such a Party Crasher. How did you notice it's me?" - "First: I recognized your Aura. Second: I know how you smell and last, but not least: I can see the top of your blue hair. Maybe you shouldn't have hid behind a Mini Cooper of all things." The girl in question shrugged and popped up from behind her Hideout. It was Ami Mizuno, also known as Sailor Mercury, dressed in her (long-sleeved) Senior High School Uniform and wearing glasses. - "Tadaa!", she chanted. "Long time, no see. How is it going?" She was about to give him a big, tight hug when he jumped a step backwards and made the appropriate gesture: - "Woah, hold it. Timeout! I must inform you that I'm no longer 'on the Market'. I'm getting married, actually!" He held up his right hand, showing the sapphire ring on his finger. Ami clasped her hands together and blushed with a kinda-happy face: - "Really? That's lovely! My honest Congratulations! Who's the lucky one?" - "The blonde gal from our last Aquaintance, Bonnie. I couldn't even properly finish my proposal before she said 'yes'." Ami snickered. - "Well, we're one Prince Charming for sure, aren't we?" - "Beats me. Now, what brought you back here, anyway? as far as I can remember, these Dimension-crossing Armbands were entrusted to us under the condition to not use them for Fun or out of Boredom, only for a real Emergency." She cleared her throat. - "Well, you could argue that we have an Emergency here. The other girls are at a Detention Camp right now because of their bad grades, so I'm all on my own and need your help. I should've mentioned that we do 'official' Assignments now - in cases where regular Police Forces and the like can't go with their limited legal competences..." Robbie was a bit uncomfortable. - "As much as I hate to interrupt your flow, don't you see that I was just busy at the Moment? I need to take these bags back home, or I'm quite sure Bonnie will be foaming up!" - "I say: Let her foam.", Ami snorted. "Duty comes first, everything else is secondary." Then she took out her Transformation wand and shouted: "Mercury Star Power, MAKE UP!!!!", thus becoming Sailor Mercury, all the Spinning and Sparkling and brief Nudity included. - "Uwaah!", Robbie shook up. "I told you girls not to do this in my Presence. You're challenging my Chastity." - "Hmm? But it's only short and fast, ist'n it?" - "And yet it's within the Limits of my Perception. Now what will we do with the Groceries?" Mercury grinned. - "Easy. Step aside." She took a Trademark stance and chanted: "Mercury... Shabbon Spray Freezing!" A thick chunk of ice encapsuled the car's trunk. "Now that should hold until the Evening at least... Come on..." He grabbed her hand for a Moment. - "Wait. What am I going to tell Bonnie? She's waiting for the food to work on, and what's even more important, for me to get home in time." Mercury nonchalantly fetched the boy's Smartphone from his Sidepocket. - "Hey! Since when we just go on and long into someone's pants without their permission?" She started typing: - "Hi, my Dearest, something spontaneously came up I need to take care of. The Groceries are in the car trunk and can be taken out once the ice melted away. Don't worry about me. Love, hugs and kisses, your beloved Hubby-Puppy.❤ Aaaand send." After that, she gave Robbie his phone back. - "Are you serious? That'll only make her even more suspecting. She perfectly knows I'd never write such a sickingly sweet stuff. By the way, You oughta have that mole on your butt checked." - "That's a birthmark, not cancer, but I honestly appreciate that you care." - "Now I know that secret of you, too, just like the guys behind all these surveillance cameras probably do." - "But all they're going to see is a bright flash of light. Too bright for the chips in their video system to be able to proceed.", she winked. After they had gone through the Sliding Vortex onto the other side, Mercury looked at the watch on her Computer. "Now, although it's a couple of hours later over here, we're still a bit early for our Appointment. How about we'd rest a little first to replenish our Energies?" Robbie shrugged. - "Your reality, your rules." They sat down on a parkbench, letting the Noon Sun shine warmly on them. Or better, he sat while she lumped herself ontop, resting her crossed legs on his lap like they were the actual OC of the story. But then, she suddenly shook up from her happy doze. - "H-hey, what tickles me there?", she wondered. Robbie immediately started covering up certain regions of his body. - "Really, you have to ask? What did you expect to happen if you rub your bare legs against my crotch? I'm a man, after all." Mercury blushed. - "Oh. Well, at least we know now that 'it' works properly. Your bride-to-be can call herself lucky... It's time now, come on, follow me..." She lead him to a supposedly random, generic Office Firm's façade. "Wait here and cover for me while I try to get past the lock." With her Computer, she started to encrypt the code for the digital safety lock. - "You want me to be the cavekeeper while you break into a high security area? That's illegal, y'know!", Robbie complained. - "Just like the stuff that's rumored to happen around here. They believe that one of their colleagues misappropriates money and sensitive information from their own employers. We're asked to either confirm or disprove the accusations, and in the worst case, retrieve and secure the stolen material." Then she disappeared into the building. - "Oh boy, why is it always me?", he whined. A couple of minutes later, Mercury came back with a thick file mapper full of calculations, tabloids, post-its and personal comments. "We have what we wanted. Tell me, how fast can you run?" - "Quite fast, I'd say." - "Then hurry, before he catches up." And ZOOM!, she buzzed off. - S-Stop! Somebody hold them back!", a distressed guy in an office suit complete with a colourful tie of doubious taste and thick-rimmed, narrow glasses ran after her. - "Uh-oh." Robbie took that as an alarm signal and started to run himself, hoping he would soon close up to Mercury. - "Here, catch!" While they were running, they threw the stack of paper back and forth between them, the man always close on their heels, but not close enough. "Let's split now!", Mercury shouted. After a while, Robbie came across a comic book shop which sold about everything an Otaku's heart longed for, including cosplays of popular Anime Characters. He pulled out his phone. - "Guess what, I think I got an idea." Then he went in, making the tubular bells above the door ring. The office guy thought his day'd finally get luckier when he supposedly saw the naughty girl who had stolen his ticket to a carefree life on the Bahamas cowering in an Alley with no means to escape. - "Ha! Gotcha! Now, please be a nice gal and give me back that file, before anyone gets hurt!" - "Who me? Doya mean me?", the 'Mercury' who was actually Robbie in disguise asked. The man was obviously a bit homophobe, judging from how he reacted right before the former threw his blue wig in the latter's face so he wouldn't be able to see how a Fisherman's hook grabbed the file and pulled it to wherever else. Said 'Fisherman' was Ami, having sat at the quai, dressed up like Monkey D. Luffy from 'One Piece', complete with painted-on scar and straw hat underneath which she hid the file. - "Thaaank yoouu." And then the cops arrived, getting hold on the guy before the situation could escalate any more. "Now, I'd like to know: How did you pay for this outfit?", Mercury wondered. - "Easy. With my cross-dimensional credit card, of course!" Robbie held the card up proudly. "But now we should change back. Running around in this skirt seems to feel way more comfortable than it probably should..." "Miss Mercury and, ahem, 'Mr. X', we appreciate your cooperation.", the superior Officer said. "We've looked for this man for quite a while who is a renowned repeat offender in the fields of fraud and industrial espionage. Some confidential parts inside this file are of great significance, both strategical and political, not to mention the damage it could've done to our economy. This is a breach of trust and a violation of exclusive international contracts. I'd rather not think about what could've happened if this fell into the wrong hands. So, you want a change of location? That can be arranged, we have a free room in a nice little 'Hotel' with 'Pioneer' charme and sea view. Get him away, boys!" The younger policemen-in-training saluted. - "Yes, Sir!" But the man tried to break loose. - "Nope, not a chance, you'll need to catch me first!", he snarked and started running, the young cops right on his heels. But before that, he unintentionally had pushed Robbie aside who fell in the nearby canal. - "Help! I can't swim!", he panicked. - "Really? I didn't know that!", the perplexed Mercury said. - "A small, confined area like a bathtub or hot spring wouldn't pose a problem, but in the open water, I sink like a lead duck!" - "Sure, try to stay calm, kiddo, while we'll do our best to fish you out and get you a warming blanket.", the Officer answered. "So sorry I had to drag you into this...", Mercury muttered while rubbing the back of her head apologetically. "I'd say you come along to our Appartment with me. Take a nice warm bath or shower and then I'll get some fresh, dry clothes for you. That's the least I could do now." - "T-thank y-you, t-that's t-too k-kind." He had obvious trouble to speak through his clacking teeth. His streak of bad luck wouldn't stop just there, though. Once inside the Mizunos' Appartment, he outright hit his foot at a piece of the culture-charateristically lowcut furniture in the Living Room, prompting him to jump up and down and complain: "Oww! My poor toe! Curse that shoe taboo inside buildings!" - "Shall I blow on it to make you feel better?", Ami who had detransformed by now asked. - "If anybody heard us right now, they might get the wrong idea." On the dinner table, they found a small note by Ami's mother: "Dear Ami-chan, it's going to take longer again tonight. I'll leave behind some money so you can get yourself a good dinner. Mata ne, Mom." Ami sighed. "Guess it can't be helped. How about we order something from the Takeout, it should suffice for two, then. The Tempura box from this one is usually quite tasty." While she picked up the phone to order the food, Robbie's view fell on a cardbox filled to the brim with various random stuff which stood in the middle of the room openly. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell right into the blast of something that looked like some kind of potato gun. A shiny, spiky crystal (with a few dark spots in random places) omitting a bright light floated out of his back. - "Aahh! No! Eudial's Pure Heart Bazooka! Back in there, now!" It took her some effort to push the thing back where it belonged before it would say 'Sayonara' forever. Robbie came back from his brief catharsis. - "W-what was that just right there?" - "Believe it or not, in this world, people's attributes manifest themselves as solid objects if extracted from our bodies. - "Then why should you keep such dangerous things around open and insecured like that?" - "Don't hate me 'cause I'm curious!", Ami pouted. - "But, y'know, curiosity killed the cat. A-ATCHOO!", he sneezed. - "For real now, out of those wet clothes and under the shower, before you catch a cold. Give them to me so I can put them into the dryer while we wait for the food." He tried to protest, but to no avail. Eventually, he found himself in the shower cabin, passing his shirt and pants to Ami through a small spalt in the door. "Is that all? Okay then, I'll take care of them. Shampoo and towels are inside, just feel like at home." While he started running the shower, she carried his clothes off to somewhere else. But only moments later, she returned to enter the shower herself like she was used to. - "Eeeek! H-hey!", he screamed. - "I-I'm sorry! It's so much of a routine for me to use the shower that I automatically... Forgive me!" She ran off into the hallway and shut the door behind her. "Pheeeew! That was close!" Wow... Really, THAT big?, she thought. And why does that situation give me such a Déjà-vu right now? About half an hour later, both were ready showering, the Delivery Boy rang. When Ami opened the door in her PJs, his hormones seemed to get the better of him. Upon seeing Robbie wearing one of her bathrobes, he couldn't help but press out his best Playboy Whistle. "Wooh-hoo. Big Date today? You may need the extra calories." He made an eyebrow grimace. Ami groaned. - "Read my lips: He. Is. NOT. My. Boyfriend! For the Future: If you value your teeth and your job, you should refrain from such comments. No tips next time!" A disappointed "Oohh!" escaped him while she slammed the door right behind him... The two 'so-not-lovers' had taken place at opposing ends of the table. While they were eating, Robbie brought Ami on the newest state of affairs. - "...And the best thing is, my foster family has actually been alive all the time, as has the Jerk Jock who bullied me... Well, up until our bodyguard killed him off and took that weight from my shoulders." Ami payed minuitive attention. "Now, with friends like these---" - "But at the end of the day, you do have friends, right?" He shrugged. - "Yeah... 'Friends' who think it's funny to sneak into my bed naked in the middle of the night, so when I wake up the next Morning, I get the shock of my life, believing I did something horrible to them. 'Friends' who seem to make kind of a Living out of pulling my trunks down at the pool and toss me inside in the buff when it's supposed to be Girl's Day." Ami got caught off-guard a bit. - "Hmm... I guess stuff happens if boys and girls keep living under the same roof for some time. Don't take it so personal." - "To be honest, I was much worse when I was younger. Back then, I was just your average verbatim-straight-out-of-the-book Nerd complete with asthmatic seizures and anxieties. I was wearing quaint sweater vests and Dandy's shoes with striped sport socks... which didn't benefit me at all, by the way. I also had a silly costume for my Hero Activities and an embarassing entrance speech. But now, to come back to your argument: Most of the other people in my environment basically act friendly only because it's their job, their paid occupation, out of professionalism, but there's virtually no closer or emotional connection whatsoever." - "When is the Wedding supposed to happen, anyway?" - "Between June and July, in a secular, private ceremony at the courthouse. And we'd like you girls to be our best women. The official invitations are currently in preparation." Ami started to blush and her eyes lit up significantly. With a broad smile, she answered: - "I'd feel honored. I don't know about the others, but you can count on me." She took his hands into her own and looked at him with a few small tears of joy appearing on her oh-so cute face... After Dinner, Robbie finally prepared to leave, but then suddenly a new problem appeared: - "What the... My Wristslider doesn't work. Dead Silence." - "Oh no!" Ami put her hand up to her mouth. "Did it short-circuit when you had your involuntary bath?" - "No, don't panic, it's usually waterproof unto a certain depth. The battery's just empty, and it'll need at least the night to recharge." - "Can't we just use... Oh dear, mine's discharged, too. Looks like you have no choice but to bonk here tonight. You can use the guest room, the bed got freshly covered this Morning." Robbie swallowed hard. - "O-okay. After all, I'm not married yet, so what can she actually say now?" - "And one more thing... Probably, none of my frilly Pajamas would really be appropriate for you, 'guess you'll have to bear with sleeping, ahem, in your birthday suit. The warm weather should allow it, anyway." He sighed silently. - "Well, at least I won't need to watch out for indecent approaches by you, riiiight?" - "Suuuure.", she joked, and then they both snickered. As Robbie lay in the bed, his thoughts ran free: So now I'm alone with her over night for the first time... I wonder what's going to happen if it keeps going like this in the long run. I mean, I already made my choice, didn't I? What would I do if... And then he just fell asleep which was no wonder after all the exhaustions of the day... When he awoke the next Morning, the warming rays of the sun falling onto him through the window, he was outright greeted by the view of Ami's face, resting her ellbows beneath his head, happily smiling. - "Good Morning, you sleeping bag.", she said in an almost singing voice. "A very happy Sunday." - "How late is it, anyway?", he asked while sounding sleepy and tired. - "A bit past 9 AM. Your clothes are dry now, and the Slider Watch's ready charging, so, not wanting to sound rude, but you should better go now, before somebody sees us together and comes to the wrong conclusion." - "Yeah, you're probably right." He sat up slowly and made a silent gesture, asking her politely to turn around so he could get dressed, and she obeyed. When he was ready, he continued his speech: "I'm going to leave you for now. I'll go home and... brace for the impact. Let's hope Bonnie'll leave some pieces of me intact. Cross your fingers for me, wish me luck. And thanks for the food and all..." He was barely out of sight as the other Inner Guardians barged in uninvited. - "Gooood Moooorniiiing A-chaaaan!", Minako Aino shouted in her typical happy-go-lucky attitude as if she were on a constant sugar rush. "Hurry up, the early worm eats the apple, so get dressed and we all go having fun somewhere!" - "Em... No, it's supposed to be: 'The early bird catches...' Akh, forget it.", her talking white cat Artemis threw in. - "Quiet on the Western front! Now what can we do with the rest of the weekend? Hey, I know, Why don't you invite your cute Monster guy over! How's he doing anyway? And then we'll all have a warm ol' blowout!" Ami was visibly insulted. - "Watch your mouth, Mina-chan! He's getting married!" Upon hearing those magic words, the girls' eyes became bigger and bigger. They started giggling and dancing and shaking Ami's hands and patting her shoulders like mad. - "Wow... Congratulations, Ami-chan! I'm just so happy for you!", Usagi Tsukino squeaked. - "Not to me, meatball head!", Ami protested. - "Yeah, suuuuuure.", Minako threw in with a smug face, being able to spot the aforementioned 'cute Monster Guy', trying to quietly sneak down the stairs through the half-open door. - "Y-you know what? Not today. Get out, out, OUT!", Ami barked while shoving them all out back into the hallway and hastily shut the door. Then, she sank down on her knees and moaned loudly. "What did I do to deserve all this?" A couple of Minutes later she could hear like a key got put into the hole. Her mother Saeko finally came back home. "Mom? Hello, good Morning!" - "Good Morning, Sweetie. I'm so sorry that it took me all night. [...] Why the long face? What does trouble you, my dear?" - "Oh... ahem... It's nothing, actually." Saeko started smiling. - "You mean, like the 'Nothing' that just rushed past me down in the Lobby in a hurry? Better spare me with the details, you know I've been young myself once upon a time. Aaaah Kami-sama, my little girl has finally started growing up!" She took her daughter in a tight hug who only protested: - "MOOOOOOM!!!!" Epilogue When he arrived at home, Robbie prepared for the worst. His bride in spe scolded him a little for his unannounced Adventure. - "Say, what drove you? I had to change plans for the food. If that's how much one can rely on you now, How's it supposed to be once we're actually married?" - "Calm down, it wasn't originally my idea.", he tried to defend himself. - "Well, whatever. Just sit down first and wait while I prepare Breakfast.", she snarked and left the bedroom... only to come back after a short while, dressed in the Mercury cosplay he had brought along with him, the blue wig sitting unevenly atop her own blond mane. In a fairly decent Marylin Monroe voice, she sang: "♪Haaaapy Birthdaaaayyyy toooo yoooouuuu! Haaaapy Birthdaaaayyyy toooo yoooouuuu! Haaaapy Birthdaaaayyyy... Mister Anderson! Haaaapy Birthdaaaayyyy toooo yoooouuuu!♫" - "You remember that my Birthday has been weeks ago?" - "Of course. Seriously, you need to tell me what it's all about this. I want details. Copious details." 💦Why did I just have to keep this darn thing anyways?, Robbie thought, currently lacking any kind of argument he could use to make things sound less bad for himself... *Beat*
