the next day was just a regular day- I had
some work to do for Viz in the morning, some filming with 4Kids after
lunch, and back to Viz for a company meeting around 6pm. I
managed to get my Viz work done early, so I went to the cafeteria to
reserve the best table for my group. About 15 minutes later, Ren and
Bason showed up. Upon their arrival, Pirika dropped a pile of letters
on the table, then made some comment about having extra work and
missing lunch. I couldn't really understand her hurried words, but
she was gone before I could ask for a repeat. Ren picked up a
letter that bore his name. He studied it suspiciously, then held it
over his face and read it silently. In the background, I could see
Bason making all sorts of mortified gestures and
expressions. "What's wrong?" I asked. "It's
nothing that concerns you," Ren snapped, refolding the letter
and putting it back in the envelope. I could see that his cheeks were
flushed scarlet. "It's a love letter, isn't it?" I
just had to see that letter. My imagination ran wild- it must have
been note from a secret admirer! I was slightly jealous. "No,
it isn't!" he yelled. Just then, my curiosity got the better of
me- I sprang for the letter. "Lemme see it!" I
exclaimed. "NO!" Ren cried, hanging onto the
envelope for dear life. We struggled over it for five minutes, but
eventually Ryu came along and snatched it out of both our
grasps. "Dear Viz," he read aloud, " I am very
angry at you for censoring Ren's booty in the latest Shonen Jump. He
has the sexiest bottom in the world..." Realizing what he had
just read, his pompadour stood on end like an antenna. A roar of
laughter poured over us, led by the hysteria of Insector Haga and
Dinosaur Ryuzaki. Ren was pissed. "It's not my letter!"
he yelled, ripping it out of Ryu's dumbfounded hands. "It's to
Viz from some fangirl! I don't know how it got mixed up in my
mail!" I quickly scanned through the remaining letters.
"Dear Viz, you suck for editing Ponchi's balls..." "Dear
Viz, I'll be a rat's patoot if Conchi squirted Manta with a fire
hose..." "Dear Viz, rot in..." I soon realized that
something was dreadfully wrong. "Where's Pirika?" I
yelled over the persistent cafeteria din. A dog-like demon in a red
suit pointed to the furthest exit. I thanked him and pushed my way
across the room, calling for my sister. "Pirika! Wait!"
I had to get to her and explain the mix-up before all Hell broke
loose with the Viz executives.
