Recap: Last time on Fictional City PD, we discovered there are girls in this story. Sailor Moon's Sailor Jupiter (DIC version) and W.I.T.C.H's Irma were staring at fanart of some unknown hot male character in a towel when the prison the girls' were guards at went into a lockdown. It isn't until Totally Spies' Mandy kicks in the door that Jupiter and Irma find out why the prison was in lock down. An author was making a run for it. Mandy started barking orders and Jupiter showed that she didn't care if Mandy had a rank above her, she wasn't going to listen. Not while incriminating fanart was on the computer monitor behind her so while Irma got rid of the evidence Jupiter spoke to Mandy. Irma had just closed the webpage as X-men Evolution's Kitty (Shadowcat) came to tell the girls to get their rears in gear. After a second, Jupiter and Irma moved into action. But did Mandy suspect? Only one way to find out!
Chapter 12:
Doubles and Cat Voice-actors Fights OR In Which Jim Goes to Get His Schedule
"I'm not asking much but it is really so much to ask for? A nice man. Good body. Muscles. Warrior blood that splashes everywhere when his head comes off."
Janine hid her face behind a magazine and hoped the undead psycho would leave the scheduling area. The guy had a face girlier than hers and his voice (if he was speaking English) was also far more feminine than Janine's Bronx drawl. The hairdo and the makeup didn't help nor did the fact that the undead male choose to wear the female FCPD uniform instead of the male one. Normally, the other characters would force the cross-dressers into their gender-assigned uniforms. However, after watching a man's head go flying from his shoulders courtesy of the psycho's snake sword, Janine didn't blame them for not trying again.
She adjusted her sharp green glasses and brushed her red hair out of her eyes before glancing at the undead anime character over the magazine. From the sounds of it, all of the male characters had been giving him a wide berth. Again, not that Janine blamed them since they weren't allowed to fight. She almost considered using the PA system to warn all warrior-type males to avoid the first floor but she was too late. The man with the questionable gender stopped talking and ran after a videogame character shouting, "Dante!"
Once they were safely out of hearing range, Janine muttered, "Sucks to be him," in a true blood New Yorker fashion. She chewed her gum as she watched Dante run from Jakotsu. When they had run out the door to the front lobby, Janine popped another bubble. She glanced at the charts that covered her computer's screen and sighed. "I'd never thought I'd miss the sound of people screaming over the phone."
To her right, a woman with round green glasses and a bob-cut style for her red hair nodded and said, "Tell me about it."
The first time Janine turned and saw her movie counterpart it had been unnerving. However, after working for weeks side by side, it less like the Twilight Zone and more like Big Business. Cartoon Janine just shrugged it off and started to work on the schedule for the next month of patrols in New York when the phone rang. For a second, she considered letting it go to voicemail but then she glanced at the caller I.D. (something she was going to force the boys to install if they ever got back home.) Medical Ward B. Just great. She had a feeling she was going to be rearranging patrols for the next week. She lifted the receiver and held it to her ear. "Ghos-Fictional City Police Department. Scheduling Department."
A quiet but not timid voice replied, "Hello, I am Yukina from the medical ward."
Still not used to Caller I.D., Janine thought as Yukina continued speaking.
"Leon S. Kennedy, videogame character number RE2M1 just came into the ward. Fairy Godmother says he probably won't be able to go on patrol for a week."
Janine nodded as she jotted down the information. Her eyes scanned the charts on the screen. Why was Leon's name familiar? Her eyes caught sight of a note she had made about she patrols in Toronto. She frowned as she spotted Leon's name. He had agreed to switch shifts with Roy Mustang so now she had to rework the patrols while keeping in mind she couldn't ask Roy to take over.
"Just great," she muttered before she realized she didn't see Leon's name on any currently happening patrols. That meant the character had been attacked while he was in the station which meant characters were fighting each other which meant Leon was probably very badly hurt maybe even dying which meant Janine would be getting another phone call soon telling her so-and-so was on probation and would be reassigned to the front lines and she would have to reschedule a whole city! What had her movie counterpart said?
"I've quit better jobs than this!" Janine's movie counterpart randomly spat as she slammed the phone receiver down, nearly missing Janine's hand.
"Welcome to reality," Janine replied as she picked up the magazine. After all, there was no point starting a new schedule until she knew who had maimed Leon.
She was halfway through a quiz about which movie star you are when one of the younger Disney characters walked up with his pink glob of a parrot.
"Sorry kid, schedules aren't out yet. Some videogame character got into a fight. Come back in a few hours."
If the Disney character replied, Janine didn't hear it because her Peter was shouting at movie Peter. Without another glance at the Disney character, Janine jumped over the desk and followed her counterpart across the floor towards the feuding ghostbusters.
While the movie Janine pulled the balding-Bill-Murray-look-alike Peter towards the elevator, Janine pulled her twenty-something-with-a-full-head-of-brown-hair Peter back towards the desks where they could duck if the particle throwers got pulled out. Movie Janine managed to pull movie Peter from the room fairly quickly but it took a few moments for Peter to calm down. Without being asked, he launched into a speech about how movie Peter had accused him of sounding like Garfield. Well aware of the consequences of fighting and Peter's ability to hold a grudge, Janine tried to calm him down. Neither of them noticed as the Disney character with a pistol-like ray gun and the floating, pink sphere walked into the elevator and pressed the button for basement level three.
A/N: Impressive. An update. Thanks for reading. Also, quick question, who did you picture the male character in the towel to be? Answers will help me decide if the girls will run into him or not. Actually, would you like the girls to run into the boy whose doodle they were ogling?

Disclaimer: I do not own The Real Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, InuYasha, Devil May Cry, Yu Yu Hakusho, Full Metal Alchemist, Resident Evil, and Treasure Planet.
Devil May Cry (Dante) – A videogame series. To be honest, the only thing I know is that this game was created when one of the early versions of Resident Evil 4 was scrapped. Dante is the main character from what I know. That's all I got for this.
Ghostbusters – A movie series. The first movie spawned a cartoon series called "The Real Ghostbusters." The movie stars four men who bust ghosts with science. Peter is one of them and he is the reason the business got off the ground in the first place. If not for Peter, Ray and Egon (two other ghostbusters) would still be working at the university, out on the streets, or owning a bookstore filled with books about the paranormal and supernatural. Winston (the final, non-doctor ghostbuster) would probably be in a normal job with a steady paycheque. In the second movie, time has passed since the business of Ghostbusters was first formed. It has gone bankrupt but is quickly reformed by the original members of the team. They have all gotten older but some things never change because when things go wrong, who ya gonna call!
InuYasha (Jakotsu) – A manga and two anime series. It stars a teenaged girl, Kagome, from our time and Inuyasha, a half-demon who lives 500 years in past. Kagome falls down a well and finds herself in feudal Japan where she breaks a very special jewel. She spends the next while trying to find the pieces of the jewel while fighting the evil Naraku who will stop at nothing to kill Inuyasha, Kagome, their friends, and to collect all the pieces of the jewel. The first anime series overtook the manga and so it was ended. After the manga reached its conclusion the second anime series (Inuyasha: The Final Act) was created. Jakotsu is from the first anime series and manga. He is a member of the Band of Seven who were used as pawns of Naraku's. After being put to death with the rest of the Band of Seven, Naraku brings them back to life and uses them to try to kill Inuyasha and co. Jakotsu seems to have confused the dubbing companies because while he is male, he is voiced by a female.
Full Metal Alchemist (Roy Mustang) – A manga and two anime series. I have not watched the series or read the manga but I have read a very informative fan fiction called "Till I'm a Hundred, You Idiot." The series stars Ed and Al, brothers who are alchemists. After trying to use alchemy to bring their dead mother back from the grave, Al has lost his body and resides in a suit of armour. Ed, meanwhile, has lost a leg and arm. In order to find the only thing that could return Al to his body, Ed and Al join the army and become State Alchemists. Roy Mustang is Ed's and Al's supervisor or whatever the army term is. He is a man whose men will follow him anywhere although reasons for the loyalty vary from man to man to woman.
Resident Evil (Leon) – A videogame and two movie series. The first movies series departed from the game plotline at the start of the movies and follow a woman named Alice so I won't be covering them unless a character appears. The other movie series focuses on plots which tie into the videogame series and are sponsored by Capcom, the creator of Resident Evil. These movies can be considered canon with the videogames depending on your feelings. Anyways, Leon has been with the series since the second game. He has been shot, injected with viruses, thrown around, and made very confused by his love interest Ada Wong (who may or may not appear in this story.) However, as Ada said in Resident Evil 4, "He always manages to come up smelling like roses." He is also the only Resident Evil videogame character to appear in both Capcom sponsored movies Resident Evil: Degeneration and its sequel Resident Evil: Damnation.
The Real Ghostbusters (Janine, Peter) – A cartoon series. Based off the movies "The Ghostbusters" and later "The Ghostbusters 2", the cartoon series focused on the day to day busting of ghosts. Due to copyright issues (I think) the characters were designed to be vastly different than their movie counterparts. Peter is one of the ghostbusters and he is the smart-aleck like his movie self. However, he is also far younger and has hair. Janine is the team's secretary and originally, she was full of spunk. Unfortunately, due to meddling later in the run of the cartoons, she lost a lot of her fire and her crush on Egon so that she was in line with the Janine who appeared in Ghostbusters 2. The Janine I use is the spunky one. I hope I'm able to get that across in my writing.
Treasure Planet (Jim, Morph) – A Disney movie. Treasure Island in space with a few added details. Have you watched it yet?
Yu Yu Hakusho (Yukina) – A manga and an anime series. It stars Yusuke Urameshi who grows (both in age and in maturity) over the series length. The basics of the series are: ghosts are dead people, there is an afterlife, demons are real (and usually evil) but exist in a world parallel to our own, and the people who run the afterlife screw up often. One of his first few missions is to save an ice demon named Yukina. With the aid of his friend Kuwabara, Yusuke saves Yukina. She pops up from time to time healing the boys and searching for her older brother. She also is the reason why Kuwabara rarely makes sense when she appears.
