While sitting at Seder last night, when I should have been concentrating on remembering the four questions in Hebrew, I was instead daydreaming of Fushigi Yuugi. As the following proves, this was a bad idea. Too late now. Onto the disclaimers
I do not own Fushigi Yuugi. Nor YuGiOh, nor Passover. The only research done for this story has been to attend Seders for 18 years and a temple pre-school, so specific details may be a little off. I will accept criticisms of the story, but not of my religion. Ands before anyone says it, Tamahome has already been banned from the story. Happy Passover and Easter and any other holiday I don't know about.
dodger-chan: Many years ago, the Israelites lived and prospered in the land of Egypt. Until one day when a new pharaoh came to power
[Enter Yami and advisors]
Yami: The Israelites are not truly our people. They do not acknowledge me as a god. We could not trust their loyalty in was. Something must be done about them.
dodger-chan: And so the pharaoh enslaved the Israelites.
Kaiba: My lord.
Yami: What?
Kaiba: I have read in the stars that this year, a boy will be born to the slave race who shall grow to lead them from slavery.
Yami: Very well. [considers] Have all male babies born to the Hebrews thrown into the Nile.
Kaiba: It shall be so.
dodger-chan: And it was so. But one mother kept her son's birth a secret.
[enter Soi carrying a basket]
Soi: Now, technically I am following the pharaoh's instructions since I am putting him in the river. He never expressly forbade baskets.
dodger-chan: The unfortunate mother left her child in the river. His sister followed the basket as it floated north.
Suboshi: I'm not playing a girl!
dodger-chan: Well, I guess Yui could do it…. but she really wanted to be Aaron.
Suboshi: Yui-sama?
dodger-chan: Miriam's the only other part that would let you be related to Amiboshi.
Suboshi: Aniki? I'll do it.
[enter Suboshi as Miriam]
dodger-chan: Arigato. Miriam followed the basket downriver. Hearing splashes, she noticed the pharaoh's slightly embarrassing son had come to bathe. Miriam hid in the rushes and watched.
[enter Nuriko with attendants]
Nuriko: That's pharaoh's daughter. [back in character] Oh! A basket! What could be in it? Bring it. [it is brought] A baby?
dodger-chan: Cautiously, Miriam approached the pharaoh's…. daughter
Suboshi: Do I have to call him "my lady"?
dodger-chan: If you're rude to her, she might just throw your aniki to the crocodiles.
Suboshi: My lady, I know a Hebrew woman who could nurse him for you.
Nuriko: Have her brought.
[Suboshi exits]
dodger-chan: Miriam brought her own mother to the pharaoh's son.
Nuriko: Daughter!
[enter Suboshi and Soi]
Nuriko: [con't.] If you nurse this child for me, I shall pay you.
Soi: I would be honored to serve you, My lady. [aside] Such joy to be able to nurse my own son.
dodger-chan: And Moses's life began at the pharaoh's palace.
Next time: Moses grows up.
Be nice and review.
