"Take Me or Leave Me"
Video fiction by
Amalia Ryoko James
Every single day
I walk down the street
Aino Minako, wearing tight pants and a tight tank top is walking down the street
I hear people say
"Baby's so sweet"
Same scene, with people looking on
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
The rest of the Sailor Moon cast looking at her, girls with sweatdrops and guys looking appreciatively
Boys-girls
I can't help it baby
Minako turning around, looking at the people and shrugging her shoulders in apology
So be kind
Don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Insert random monster attack here
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
Scene of Minako transforming into Sailor Venus
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
She defeats the monster, and de-transforms
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
Minako as the metaphorical tiger in the metaphorical cage
This diva needs her stage
Baby-let's have fun!
Minako in an awful outfit (the one in that SuperS episode with the kindergarten teacher) singing on that stage
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
We finally see whom she's talking about. It's… Hino Rei. (Surprised ya, huh?)
So be mine or don't waste my time
Cryin'- "Honeybear-are you still my baby?"
Minako makes a pleading gesture towards Rei.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Minako pleads her case to Rei
No way can I be what I'm not
But hey- don't you want your girl hot!
Backing up her side of the story with evidence, and reasons!
Don't fight - don't lose your head
'Cause every night - who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby?
Still giving reasons
Kiss, Pookie
Minako pouts her lips at Rei. Rei turns away. (The point of view switches here, folks!)
It won't work
Rei turns back to face Minako
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby, what's my sin?
Rei argues her side of the case
Never quit – I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby
Complete with explanations about her…
So be wise
This girl satisfies
You've got a prize – don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
…And reasons to stay with her
Take me for what I am
Rei pleads this to Minako
A control freak
Minako comments about Rei
Who I was meant to be
Rei again
A snob - yet overattentive
Minako again
And if you give a damn
Rei
A loveable, droll geek
Minako
Take me or leave me
REI
And anal retentive!
MINAKO
That's it!
Both singing
The straw that breaks my back
Rei is fed up with Minako
I quit
Both
Unless you take me back
However she is willing to give Minako a second chance.
Women
Both
What is it about them?
Minako wonders about women
Can't live –
With them – or without them
Both
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me or leave me
Both want forgiveness from the other
Guess I'm leaving
I'm gone
It just didn't work out.
