Hoshi was having a peaceful dream. She was sitting down in the garden peacefully, not a care in the world. The wind blowing in her short golden hair, the sky reflected in her blue/green eyes, her slender form resting against a tree. But what truly made it peaceful was the fact that her friend, Ritsuka, was tied to a rock and gagged on the side. Yes, it was truly peaceful. At least it was until she felt it all fading in a bright flash of light. She groaned, knowing what was coming.
"Hoshi-san!" A voice called out. She groaned again. Only one voice was that cheerful in the mornings.
"DAMN IT RITS!" Hoshi yelled from underneath her covers. She created a bazooka and blasted Ritsuka for daring to wake her up; this had no effect what so ever because Ritsuka was immortal. It wasn't that Hoshi hated Ritsuka, not at all. As a matter of fact they were very close friends. It was just that Hoshi didn't like being woken up early in the morning. After all she was the goddess of the stars. Ritsuka was the goddess of life so of course she liked mornings better. It was just the way things were.
"But Hoshi-san," Ritsuka said, "it's your birthday!" That got Hoshi up.
"Presents!" She blinked. "Wait. What? When did that happen?" she asked in a tired daze. Ritsuka laughed.
"Remember? You were born this exact day 1600 years ago. That officially makes you 16 in mortal years today! "Now get up! Unless you want Krad to wake you up later." Hoshi was less than pleased with that idea as Ritsuka's friend, Krad, was the god of death. And it was a well-known fact that he was only nice to one person, and that person was Ritsuka.
"No thank you! I would like to get out of the room alive!" she said as she got up and stretched. "Get out. I'm going to get ready." Ritsuka happily headed out of the room, calling back, "Hurry up! I have a surprise for you!"
Hoshi shook her head as she created an outfit suitable for the occasion. It was jeans and a T-shirt that read "Yes kids! I DID drop my toaster in the bathtub this morning." Hoshi remembered when she had thought up this outfit. The gods and goddesses had all gathered for a meeting. When her mother had returned she had declared something that had shocked not only her, but also the entire younger generation of the gods and goddesses. They were retiring and leaving their powers and jobs to their children. She was confused as to why, and the only thing her parents had said was that they were more than happy to simply watch.
Then she remembered something that Ritsuka had said, "I have a surprise for you." She frowned slightly. Ritsuka's surprises were always fun, but more often than not they ended in disaster. Her heart was in the right place, but she had a mischievous side that usually led to trouble. Hoshi shrugged and smiled. ''Rits wouldn't dare get me in trouble on my birthday,' she thought, ''my 1600th birthday is special. She'll try her best to make it problem free. I hope. And if she doesn't, well, her 1600th birthday is in four months. She'll regret it.''
She brushed her unbrushable hair, put on her shoes and stepped out from her room into the hallway. She was a little surprised that Ritsuka was not waiting for her. Then she remembered that Krad was testing her swordwork today. She sighed and headed towards Ritsuka's house. She stopped to gaze at Ritsuka's garden for a moment.
As the goddess of life, Ritsuka was incredibly skilled in growing and keeping plants. Therefore she had the most beautiful garden out of all the gods and goddesses. Well, with the exception of Terry, the god of nature. But hey, you can't have everything. Of course thanks to her powers of creating anything out of nothing, Hoshi had the greatest collection of anime and manga. This of course had Ritsuka over at her house more than over at her own house, but Hoshi didn't mind.
Hoshi smiled as she thought about it. She was the goddess of the stars living in the year 2003. It was fun to see the differences between the older gods and goddesses, and the younger generation. She soon walked past the garden and reached the arena. She carefully pushed the doors apart and walked into the room, careful not to attract Ritsuka's or Krad's attention. She liked to watch them when they fought.
Ritsuka was in her armor and was using the sword Krad, Hoshi, and the other gods and goddesses had made especially for her on her 500th birthday. The blade of the sword was made out of the power of all of them combined. Depending on what Ritsuka wanted, the blade changed. Its more common form however was its light form. In this form it used Ritsuka's own power and the hilt transformed into gold and silver with wings emerging from the sides.
At the moment Ritsuka's shoulder-length chestnut hair was fanned out behind her, her brown eyes taking in her brother's every move. Her slender but powerful arms were rapidly striking out with her blade. Her friend's same- colored hair and eyes were carefully watching her moves. He seemed to be on the defensive for a moment before pushing back with his blade, and then it was Ritsuka who was on the defensive.
Both moved gracefully and rapidly, but it was obvious Krad was toying with Ritsuka. Everyone knew Krad was the best fighter out of the younger generation. Within a moment Ritsuka's blade was removed from her hand and Krad's sword was at her throat. Ritsuka smiled and held out her hand. Krad shook his head slightly before pulling her to her feet. He suddenly frowned and turned around. He spotted Hoshi and sighed. Hearing her friend's sigh Ritsuka turned around as well.
"Hoshi! I hope you're not angry at me for not waiting for you," she said in a guilty voice.
"And why would it matter? You can do what you want," Krad snorted.
"Krad! Be nice!" Ritsuka said while lightly whacking his arm. Hoshi shook her head.
"Nice to see you too Krad. And I'm not annoyed at you for not waiting. But how many times have I told you not to wake me up in the mornings! Never ever EVER! Not in a million years! Sleep is precious, so let me have what I can." Hoshi glared daggers at Ritsuka.
"Leave her alone. She was just waking you up to give you a surprise. I don't see why she bothers. " Krad stared murderously at Hoshi. Ritsuka suddenly gasped.
"The surprise! Come on Hoshi! I have to give it to you soon or we'll be too busy!" Ritsuka grabbed Hoshi and started pulling her away. Krad turned around to leave. He was surprised to feel Ritsuka grab his other arm and drag him out of the room with Hoshi.
"What are you doing?" he asked in surprise.
"Taking you with me," Ritsuka replied.
"Why?"
"Because I want you to come."
With that said Ritsuka dragged both of them into her garden. When they reached the center of the garden Ritsuka went to a huge crystal-shaped bush and pushed a few branches aside. The others were surprised to see it was hollow. Ritsuka walked in and gestured for the others to do the same. They followed her into the plant and stared at something in the center. It was a bamboo plant made out of diamond and emerald. The light reflected off of every corner, illuminating the people.
"Shiny," was all Hoshi could say. Ritsuka looked up and fidgeted a bit.
"Do you like it? I've been working on it for almost a year now. They're almost impossible to grow. But if you don't like it, I guess I can always get you something else."
"No, it's beautiful. Thank you," Hoshi replied, still in awe. Krad stared at the bamboo.
"Ritsu? Aren't those extinct?" he asked in a whisper.
"Um ... well, you see. How do I put this? Um ... well. Would you believe me if I told you I found a seed?" The look on Krad's face was answer enough. "Well, they WERE extinct. Promise not to get angry? They WERE extinct. Everywhere except," she gulped, "the demon realm." She waited for her friends to yell at her. She was not disappointed.
"You went to the demon realm! Do you have any idea how dangerous that was! You could have been hurt! Or killed!"
"But I wasn't! I was careful!" Ritsuka sighed. "I just wanted to get something special for Hoshi. Krad's face softened.
"Fine, what's done is done. But next time," he paused, "at least take me with you!" Ritsuka smiled.
"I got you something too!" she sang. She went to the side of the plant and parted a pile of leaves. She picked something up and handed it to Krad. "Here you go! I know you've always wanted to collect one from everywhere." She said as she gave him the sword. It was obviously well made, and the power of darkness flowed within it. Perfect for the god of death. "Like it?"
Krad stared at her, and was once again left open-mouthed. "I'll take that as a yes." Ritsuka smiled and turned to Hoshi. "See? Not all my surprises end in disaster!" That said she skipped outside. Hoshi and Krad followed her. Hoshi stared at the plant in her hand and then at Ritsuka.
"You went to the demon realm?" she asked. Ritsuka nodded, then covered her ears, knowing what was coming. "I CAN'T BELIVE YOU! YOU WENT SOMEWHERE DANGEROUS AND COOL AND DIDN'T TAKE ME!! I WANNA COME NEXT TIME!!!" Ritsuka winced.
"Alright! Aright! Fine! Next time I go somewhere dangerous I'll take somebody with me." She received two glares. "I'll take you two," she amended.
"That's better," Krad said. "Now I believe somebody has a party to attend. So shoo. Go away and leave me in peace." Ritsuka poked him.
"You're coming too." Krad frowned.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are!" She gave him her best puppy dog look. "Please?" He looked at her for a moment before turning away.
"Must ... resist ... cuteness ... too ... POWERFUL! Fine! I'll go."
"Yay!" Ritsuka hugged him. Hoshi glared at both of them.
"You're keeping me from my presents! Hurry it up!" She grabbed Ritsuka and ran. She didn't bother with Krad. She knew he would follow.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*
Everybody was at the party. Most people had agreed to come right away. Some gods and goddesses had prior arrangements *coughStarTrekconventioncough* ((A.N. foreshadowing...)) "Presents!" Hoshi cried. She was sitting in a pile of gifts at least three times her height. Krad was leaning against the wall of the building, and Ritsuka was trying to get Hoshi away from the gifts.
"Hoshi! You can open the gifts later! The people all came here to see you! Why don't you at least say hello?" Ritsuka pleaded. Hoshi was about to decline, but then she caught sight of the bamboo. She sighed.
"Fine. But only for a little while!" Ritsuka cheered and dragged her into an abandoned corner. Hoshi sweat dropped.
"Rits, this isn't exactly socializing." Ritsuka silenced her with a mischievous look.
"We're going to welcome the guests. But what better way to say hello than to give them all 'gifts'?" Hoshi shook her head.
"Oh no! I am not going to get in trouble again because of you." She paused for a moment. "What did you have in mind?" Ritsuka smirked.
"Well, do you know how you recently created a lot of Pocky?" Hoshi nodded. "Well, what better way to say hello than to have them do a little performance?" Hoshi paused.
"Which dance routine?" she asked. Ritsuka smirked again. "Oh no. You're going to have them do THE dance routine." Another smirk. Hoshi felt a smirk coming to her own lips. "Which song?" Ritsuka paused for a moment, a look of deep concentration on her face.
"I'm thinking something catchy. That will be stuck in their minds for a long time and drive them insane." She suddenly jumped up. "Mr. Wonderful!" Hoshi's eyes widened.
"Are they ready for that?" Ritsuka shrugged.
"Can you think of a more catchy song?" Hoshi shook her head.
"I didn't think so. All right, you get the Pocky; I'll make the necessary 'arrangements'. You need to play Mr. Wonderful and bring THEM. Got it?" Hoshi nodded.
"Great. Meet back here in five minutes. This is going to be fun." Hoshi began to leave. She suddenly turned around and ran back to Ritsuka.
"We need somebody to video-tape this!" she cried. Ritsuka smacked her head.
"Of course! Krad!"
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*
Alana was angry. When she turned 1600 not even half these people had showed up. But when Hoshi turned 1600, that annoying brat had everybody come! Her eyes fell on Ritsuka. Well, maybe it wasn't Hoshi who had convinced all of these people to come, but she was still angry.
She went to get a drink and frowned. She had lost sight of Hoshi and Ritsuka. She shrugged it off. If Alana had known what they were doing she would have run as far from there as she could. But as it was, she wasn't the goddess of time. No, she was only a minor goddess. She was the goddess of shadows. And that annoyed her. Her hate only grew after what happened next. She was finally beginning to relax and enjoy the party when the appearance of Hoshi silenced everybody.
"MEEP! I would like thank all you gift-bringing people for coming. As a party favor to all of you, Ritsuka and I have prepared a little.... presentation, for your entertainment." The crowd cleared a space as Ritsuka came out, and to their surprise a grumbling Krad with a camera followed her out.
She pulled a cart after her. She turned her back to the crowd and set something on the ground. She then tapped the cart and a bunch of chocolate and strawberry covered sticks came out dressed in suits. She looked over at Hoshi and gave her a small wave. Suddenly the most perky and addictive song ever created played:
Hey Mr. Wonderful, oh, you're so incredible
Hey Mr. Wonderful, wonderful to me
Hey Mr. Wonderful, oh, you're irresistible
Hey Mr. Wonderful. A miracle to me!
Hold me, I wanna feel your arms around me
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na
Kiss me, 'cause only you can make me happy
Ooh na-na-na!
Alana couldn't help it. She was transfixed by the music. The next thing she knew the sticks were on miniature Dance Dance Revolution machines dancing along to the steps. To Alana's dismay, they danced much better than she did. After the song finished she couldn't get it out of her mind. It kept repeating. At that point she swore revenge.
And the perfect opportunity came while Hoshi was opening her gifts. Hoshi was unwrapping her presents and she obviously enjoyed them all. However, Alana noticed how she liked the diamond and emerald bamboo that Ritsuka had given her.
She smiled a cruel smile as she slowly edged towards the plant. When nobody was looking she gave it a little push. Being the fragile plant it was it shattered.
((A.N.: Yeah, I know diamond is the strongest thing in the world; let's just say Alana is super strong, she is a goddess and all.))
Alana was pleased to see the horrified look on Hoshi's face, the angry look on Krad's face, and the look of dismay on Ritsuka's face. Then she looked again at the angry look on Krad's face and decided maybe this hadn't been such a great idea. She gulped as she prepared for her punishment. However, it never came.
There was a loud crash and a flash of light. Sabrina the goddess of time had appeared. She did not look happy.
"You will pay!" she screamed. "You will pay for what you did!" Ritsuka looked confused. Suddenly a look of understanding flashed across her face.
"I'm sorry," she called, "we didn't mean to burn all your Star Trek books! It was an accident." This didn't have the desired effect. Sabrina looked even angrier.
"As punishment I will send you to live in a primitive age until you both understand what it is like to loose something precious!" Krad opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything Sabrina opened up a portal behind Hoshi and Ritsuka. Ritsuka blinked as she got sucked in and waved to Sabrina. Krad tried to grab onto her sleeve but got sucked in with her.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" yelled Hoshi and laughed as she got sucked in. "This is fun!"
Of course, something unexpected happened. Terry, the god of nature, famous for his bad luck, showed up at just that moment. Right in front of the portal. Needless to say he was gone quicker than he showed up. Sabrina sweatdropped.
"Oops." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"That's better," Krad said. "Now I believe somebody has a party to attend. So shoo. Go away and leave me in peace." Ritsuka poked him.
"You're coming too." Krad frowned.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are!" She gave him her best puppy dog look. "Please?" He looked at her for a moment before turning away.
"Must ... resist ... cuteness ... too ... POWERFUL! Fine! I'll go."
"Yay!" Ritsuka hugged him. Hoshi glared at both of them.
"You're keeping me from my presents! Hurry it up!" She grabbed Ritsuka and ran. She didn't bother with Krad. She knew he would follow.

To Alana's dismay, they danced much better than she did. After the song finished she couldn't get it out of her mind. It kept repeating. At that point she swore revenge.
And the perfect opportunity came while Hoshi was opening her gifts. Hoshi was unwrapping her presents and she obviously enjoyed them all. However, Alana noticed how she liked the diamond and emerald bamboo that Ritsuka had given her.
She smiled a cruel smile as she slowly edged towards the plant. When nobody was looking she gave it a little push. Being the fragile plant it was it shattered.
((A.N.: Yeah, I know diamond is the strongest thing in the world; let's just say Alana is super strong, she is a goddess and all.))
Alana was pleased to see the horrified look on Hoshi's face, the angry look on Krad's face, and the look of dismay on Ritsuka's face. Then she looked again at the angry look on Krad's face and decided maybe this hadn't been such a great idea. She gulped as she prepared for her punishment. However, it never came.
There was a loud crash and a flash of light. Sabrina the goddess of time had appeared. She did not look happy.
"You will pay!" she screamed. "You will pay for what you did!" Ritsuka looked confused. Suddenly a look of understanding flashed across her face.
"I'm sorry," she called, "we didn't mean to burn all your Star Trek books! It was an accident." This didn't have the desired effect. Sabrina looked even angrier.
"As punishment I will send you to live in a primitive age until you both understand what it is like to loose something precious!" Krad opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything Sabrina opened up a portal behind Hoshi and Ritsuka. Ritsuka blinked as she got sucked in and waved to Sabrina. Krad tried to grab onto her sleeve but got sucked in with her.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" yelled Hoshi and laughed as she got sucked in. "This is fun!"
Of course, something unexpected happened. Terry, the god of nature, famous for his bad luck, showed up at just that moment. Right in front of the portal. Needless to say he was gone quicker than he showed up. Sabrina sweatdropped.
"Oops." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
