Notes: Anything between () is an action/description. Also, the "?(!)"s in the story are supposed to represent a question mark and exclamation mark put together, but since this site doesn't allow them, I had to put the exclamation mark in parentheses...

Remember—The First Mission's Always a Dozy!
(We now see Takuto, Lester, and Kuromie in the spacepod heading for the planet Dox. It is very cramped with only one chair in it at the steering wheel. Takuto is sitting in the chair, driving, while the other two try to make themselves comfortable with whatever space they have left.)
Space Whale Jr.: (weakly) Mew...
Lester: (sweatdrops) Do you have to bring that thing everywhere you go?(!)
Kuromie: ...Yes...
(The spacepod then bounces off a shooting comet and lunges dangerously. Kuromie and Lester have to hang onto whatever crevices are in the wall of the space pod not to lose their balance.)
Lester: Takuto! What ARE you DOING?(!)
Takuto: (much too happily for their current situation) Driving!
(Lester and Kuromie fall to the floor with a "crash"—Anime style!)
Kuromie: (trying to stay calm but failing to) Takuto, I don't mean to be rude but—Where the heck did you get your license?(!)
Space Whale Jr: Mew!
Lester: (Jokingly) Do you even have a license?
Takuto: Umm... (sweatdrops) No.
Lester & Kuromie: (SHOCK HORROR)
Lester: (In a low voice) We're doomed...
(We can then hear the screams of Lester and Kuromie as the spacepod goes into hyperspace. Meanwhile...)
(Eonia is looking out the window of his space ship when he sees a white dot zooming past.)
Eonia: (surprised) Sherry! Give me info on that spacepod!
Sherry: Roger!
(Sherry is a woman in mid-twenties who works for Eonia. She is very loyal to him, and one could even say that she is in love with him. She has pinkish-white hair and a scar running down the left side of her face.)
Sherry: Sir, the spacepod belongs to the Galaxy Angel group and is being manned by three people by the name of Takuto, Lester, and Kuromie. They are headed for the planet Dox.
Eonia: Hmm, probably to pick up an important package, no doubt. Follow them.
Sherry: (smiling) Your wish is my command sir.
(Meanwhile...)
(Takuto and Co. are hurtling towards a blue planet. It is none other than the planet Dox.)
Lester: (To Takuto) DO SOMETHING!
Takuto: (Clutching at the steering wheel frantically) I am! I am!
Kuromie: Before I die, I just want to tell you guys... I love you! (1)
All: AHHH!
(KA-POW! The spacepod crash-lands into a barren ice field. The door of the spacepod slowly opens and the crew gets out one by one.)
Takuto: WE'RE ALIVE! (he skips around joyfully)
Lester: Good, because now—I WILL KILL YOU!
(He chases Takuto around in circles around the spacepod until Kuromie puts a stop to it by blowing a whistle that is hanging on a chain from his neck.)
Kuromie: (angrily) Stop it! Let's not try to kill each other at least until the second mission, okay?
Lester: (angrily) Fine.
Takuto: (groans)
Kuromie: Alrighty then, I'll stay here and check the pod while you two go off and get the package.
Takuto: Don't you want to come with us?
Kuromie: Yeah, but—(suddenly in a dark manner) Trust me, space whales and robots—they don't mix.
Takuto: (freaked out) O—kay...
Lester: (not amused) Whatever. Come on, Takuto, we don't have all day.
Takuto: Coming!
(Takuto and Lester start walking north, with Lester in the lead. After a few steps, they come to a dune, and as they near the top...)
Takuto: Wow, Lester! It's a whole city of lights!
Lester: Yup, that's the city of Dox for you.
(The city of Dox is enclosed in a HUGE glass dome. There are hundreds of skyscrapers, and highways wrapped around it. There are hovercars flying about inside like flies, and multiple spaceships are being shot into space.)
Lester: We should get moving now.
Takuto: (enthusiastically) Roger!
(As Takuto and Lester head toward the city of Dox, Eonia is sitting in his space ship, planning their—um—doom.)
Eonia: Are the ships in position?
Sherry: Yes sir, everything is in order, just as you wished.
Eonia: Excellent. When the G.A.G. take off from planet Dox, we'll ambush them and take them prisoners! I can't believe I thought of that plan myself!
Sherry: (sweatdrops and then mumbles to herself) You didn't... I did...
(Anyhoo, back to Takuto and Lester. They are now inside the large dome and are currently making their way to the center of the city. Lester is studying the hologram map emitted from his watch while Takuto sight sees. They are nearing a grand fountain with many nozzles shooting streams of water in sync to classical music. There is a woman standing there. She has on a dark blue uniform.)
Lester: Well, I think this is the place.
Takuto: Hey look! I think we receive the package from her!
(He is about to point to the woman, but Lester slaps his hand away.)
Lester: (annoyed) It's rude to point.
Takuto: (sweatdropping) Sorry...
(Takuto and Lester walk up to the woman. She begins to talk in a computerized voice.)
Woman: (In a computerized voice) Greetings! Welcome to the city of Dox. My name is Marie.
Lester: (surprised) Whoah! You're a robot?
Takuto: (grabs her hand) But you feel REAL!
(Lester grabs Takuto by the collar and drags him back in annoyance.)
Lester: Down boy. Now you're hitting on robots? That's just sick.
Takuto: But I wasn't—!
Lester: Anyway, we're here for a package for General Luft. Do you have it?
Marie: Please state your first and last names.
Lester: Wha? But—
(Takuto manages to free himself from Lester's grip.)
Takuto: (happily) I'm Takuto Meyers!
Lester: (quickly regaining his composure) Lester Coolduras.
Marie: Please hold still while I verify your identification.
(A beam of blue light shoots out of Marie's eyes and scan Takuto and Lester. They both seem shocked all the while. Then the beam disappears.)
Marie: Access verified. Please take your package and good day.
(She then turns her back to them, and a compartment opens up in her back. Inside is a 3 by 3 inch box. Lester and Takuto look and each other and Lester slowly takes it. The compartment then closes up and Marie turns to face them.)
Marie: Good day.
(She then walks away as Takuto and Lester look on.)
Lester: Well then... Let's go. Kuromie's waiting.
(He then shoves the package into his pocket and breaks off into a run with Takuto jogging behind. Meanwhile, Kuromie has finished patching up the pod. It no longer looks new. Lester and Takuto meet up with him just as he is putting up the last patch.)
Kuromie: Sorry, I tried the best that I could but...
Takuto: (sweatdropping) Do you think Professor Luft will notice?
Lester: (sarcastically) Gee, ya think?
(They once again pile into the now broken down spacepod and it shakily takes off. Takuto is driving again.)
Lester: Hey, why are you driving again?
Takuto: Two reasons. One, you're too big for this chair, and two, Kuromie's not old enough to drive.
(Lester and Kuromie look at one another.)
Lester: ...Good point.
(The pod rockily starts going into hyperspace. Eonia's fleet is waiting for from the side.)
Kuromie: Are you sure that it'd be safe to go into hyperspace with our pod in this condition?
Space Whale Jr.: (from the window) Mew! Mew!
Kuromie: What? Eonia's fleet is right behind us? And they're gaining speed?
Lester: (also looking out the window) Holy cow! He's right! Takuto! Step on it!
Takuto: I'm trying, I'm trying!
Kuromie: Hurry! They're starting to shoot!
(Indeed, they are.)
Lester: (grimly) They shield won't last much longer... Takuto! Doesn't this ship have weapons?
Takuto: Oh yeah! The laser canon!
(He presses a button and the laser on the front shoots out a red beam. It hits many planets and bounces off each one with a pinball machine-like sound. Finally, the laser bounces off one of Saturn's rings and strikes the left engine of the space pod, destroying it.)
Kuromie: There goes one of the engines...
Lester: (angrily) You idiot!
(He advances on Takuto like he's about to strangle him.)
Takuto: Wait! We still have the missiles!
(He presses another button and one of the missiles fly. It hits the planet Pluto, totally destroying it.)
Lester: (In shock horror and then very violently) YOU IDIOT!
(He starts strangling Takuto while Kuromie tries to restore the order.)
Kuromie: Don't worry! Pluto was never occupied to begin with! (sweatdrops) And it isn't even a planet in the solar system anymore!(2)
Takuto: (Frees himself from Lester's grip) (Hysterically) Poor Pluto, think of all the space maps that will be wrong! And think of all those planet kits! When a kid opens up a kit, he'll say, "What's this purple planet, mommy?" and the mom will say, "Oh don't worry about that piece dear, it's just a giant floating rock in space! It's not important anymore! Let's just throw it out!" Think of all those Plutos, being thrown into the trash because these scientists say it isn't a planet anymore!
(COMPLETE SILENCE)
Lester: …What the hell are you talking about?
Space Whale Jr.: Mew! (Trying to bring attention back)
Kuromie: What? That blast created a black hole? And it's sucking Eonia's fleet in?
(What Kuromie says is true—Eonia's fleet really is being sucked into the black hole.)
Eonia: (from his ship) Curse you, Takuto! Mark my words, we will meet again! You haven't seen the last of me!
(The black hole sucks up all of Eonia's ships with a satisfying burp)
Lester: Well, talk about ironic...
Kuromie: We still have to get away! The hole's starting to suck us in too! Takuto—hyperspace!
Takuto: I'm on it!
(The pod then uses its last remaining energy to complete the journey home.)
(Later...)
(The pod is shown crashing down to earth near the G.A.G. base. Next we see Takuto and Co. entering the G.A.G. base. They look worse for wear. Luft is sitting in one of the chairs patiently awaiting them.)
Kuromie: That takes some getting used too...
Lester: Takuto, tell me again why I'm still your friend after all these years...
Takuto: (sweatdrops)
Luft: (walks over to them) What took you so long?
Lester: Long story. Even longer explanation.
Luft: And the package?
(Lester shoves the package into Luft's hand.)
Kuromie: Excuse me for asking, but—what's in the package, General Luft?
Luft: I'm glad you asked. Behold! (He opens the package and holds up something.)
All: A COFFEE FILTER?(!)
Lester: (trying to control his anger) We went though all that—for a stinkin' COFFEE FILTER?(!)
Luft: Yep! Ain't it a beaut?
Takuto and Kuromie: (sweatdrop)
Luft: (throwing the coffee filter aside carelessly) Anyway, that was just a test!
Takuto: A test? (In a sad tone) Don't you trust us?
Luft: Of course not! Do you think I would actually give you something important for your very FIRST mission?
Takuto: (now dejected) Oh...
Luft: I also heard about your little "accident." Rest assured, the spacepod and planet (oops, I meant not-a-planet) Pluto can be repaired.
Kuromie: (surprised) It can?
Luft: Yes—BUT it's going on your bill.
Takuto: (weakly) How much?
Luft: Oh, I'd say about one million.
All: (sweatdrops)
Luft: No wait, make that one BILLION.
All: (bigger sweatdrops)
Luft: So from now on, you won't be getting your paychecks until you pay it off! I must be going now. Farewell!
(He leaves. There is silence.)
Kuromie: (nervously) Remember guys, just smile and wave... Just smile and wave...
(The gang smile and wave at the camera painfully. Then the camera zooms out from the base, and we can hear Lester shouting, "I'm gonna kill you, Takuto! I'm gonna KILL YOU!" We can then hear Takuto screaming like a girl and furniture crashing. We can also hear Kuromie say, "Stop it, you guys! Stop it!" Then last of all, we hear Space Whale Jr's voice.)
Space Whale Jr.: Mew...
EL FIN!
(Finally! Of course, it's not the end of the whole series, just this two part mini-story. From now on, I won't be writing in script mode anymore. Though script-mode would probably have been easier for the type of slap-stick comedy I write… Read: TOO. MUCH. DIALOGUE.)
Notes:
1. Kuromie's "I love you" quote… Of course, he meant it in a FRIEND way and not in a… ahem, romantic way; you silly silly perverts! (…I'm going to get mauled for that sentence, aren't I.)
2. I swear, when I first submitted this chapter, Pluto was still considered a planet in our solar system. It was just pure coincidence that I happened to choose Pluto to get destroyed. When I re-read this later, (after the whole, Pluto isn't a planet in our solar system news), I thought it was just so ironic, I couldn't resist putting in that whole Pluto speech. I can imagine Takuto saying that with the straightest face too…
Character Bio:
Kuromie Quark:
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Height: 4'7"
Job: To take care of the animals and plants on the Elle Ciel.
Special Abilities: He can communicate with the leader of the space whales, a large round whale that knows the emotions of all people. So, basically, Kuromie knows the feelings of everyone around him almost 24/7. Pretty scary when you think about it...
Looks: He has light brown hair, and aqua blue eyes. He wears what looks like a boy scout's uniform (main colors being green, white, and gold), complete with a green poofy hat (or beret, if you want to call it that.)
Personality: Kuromie acts very mature for his age. He's also kind, especially towards animals, and is very knowledgeable too. His best friend is a space whale calf named Space Whale Jr.
My Opinion: I don't think I stuck to his normal personality very well at all... I made him act more like his age (15) when in the manga he really does act like an adult. In the manga, he has a very complex personality that is hard for me to maintain in this fanfic. I also feel really bad for him, since he's even more minor than Lester is... He's my third favorite character out of the guys in GA.
I kinda put off his special ability for the time being, but it will reappear in the later chapters. Hopefully...
Updated Final Notes:
…I love how Eonia just KNOWS the G.A.G. are picking up an important package. He must be psychic!
Also, in this fanfic, Kuromie is pretty much the character where I dump plot-point related abilities onto since he's a really minor character in the manga. In this chapter, he's suddenly picked up mechanic skills—out of nowhere!
All the duex-ex-machina in this chapter just make me do a facepalm now. But I guess it's fine for a comedy story…
