After agreeing to spend the night, during a thunderstorm, Heather & Hanajima spent it in another room, while June & Beth shared it in the living room. As they were slumbering, Beth woke up, hearing a huge crashing sound. She sat up and whispered, "June… June!"

She nudged her, as June mumbled, "Grgh… What the-? Beth?! What now?"

"I can't sleep. This damnable thunderstorm. It won't go away."

June moaned, putting on her glasses, "Fine… You woke me up, so now I can't sleep. Anyways, we should ask Mom t-."

"Screw that!" Beth cried, "They're asleep! So, why not check the place out, for ourselves? We never knew much about Saki Hanajima's domicile, other than it's a uniquely comfy place."

"No." June muttered.

"Come on, Sis…"

"Alright…" June sat up, "But I'm coming with you. I'm only 17, so I'm staying by your side, until we are tired."

Beth smiled, "SWEET!" But June shushed her, saying that they're fast asleep. The Nevins Sisters decided to examine the household of Saki Hanajima.

(Hanajima): June and Beth Nevins… Welcome, my dear girls… You're about to enter a place where there is no imagination. Curious as you are, can you survive… "The House of Evil Waves"? Or the "House of Eternal Waves"? Choose wisely.

Tales of the Bizarre BONUS:
"The House of Hanajima"

June and Beth walked down the dark hallways and were nervous. Beth giggled, "This is too awesome… a house that is also a haunted suite. I want to know the secret behind Hanajima's house."

June said, "Since you never saw Fruits Basket, she had it rough. Bullied when she was a child, called a witch, and now, she's friends with her two besties."

"Boring."

"Well, as long as we keep quiet, we don't want the Demon Queen to catch us."

"D-D-D-Demon Queen?"

June giggled, "Oh, that's her nickname by the Prince Yuki Fan Club… only she enjoys executing them, with her waves."

"Ouch… Well, as long as we don't insult her, we should be fine."

They walked down the dark hallway, quietly and creeping, and then spotted a small doorway. It said "Museum".

"Museum?" Beth asked, "I never knew this was her museum… or for that matter, I didn't know she had a museum."

June stated, "She never had one." She then said, "We'll leave it alone. It's probably a trick."

Beth nodded, "Right. Never can tell if she plants a trap, like gasoline in a bucket."

"Too cruel."

They departed to another area in the house, walking down the dark hallways. June spotted something and said, "Hmm… This must be where the master sleeps."

She approached the door, and then viewed Hanajima's room, which was a room with a bed and dresser, with purple curtains and black sheets. June said, "This must be Saki's room."

Beth said, "Now I see why she is all moody. But seriously… black and purple? Ravens colors." She added, "Daddy once took me to a Houston Texans game. They played the Baltimore Ravens."

June stepped in and nodded, "So I've heard." Beth panicked, "What the hell are you doing? Get out of there!"

June said, as she examined the bed, "Relax… We're guests in this house. Mom does enjoy Hanajima's company, more or less."

"More or less?"

"Yeah, Beth. Hanajima is sweet and kind, and acts like the witch from Hansel and Gretel, but… There are times that she is afraid of Hanajima's wicked vibes."

"You mean like the electrical sparks, June? She's not a robot… Maybe a wizard?"

"She's not a wizard. She has psychic powers."

"So I heard." Beth viewed a drawer full of black nail polish. She then huffed, "This is her badge, huh?" June viewed a bookcase of manga and said, "She must be a nerd. OH! Nanao has that copy. Is she into ecchi or yaoi?"

"What difference does it make?" Beth cried, "She's normal, yet she has a Dr. Jekyll and Miss Hyde persona!"

"Sis, she's not a demon. She's nice. Have you not learned the horrible past she suffered?"

"Likewise us?"

"That's in TGIA. This is different."

"Okay…"

Beth viewed the closet, but was shocked, seeing a pair of purple eyes. She stepped back, as June nodded, "I see… Hello there. You must be Megumi."

A boy in short black hair was on his knees, inside the closet. He said, "Hello, June. Beth. It's been a while."

Beth asked, "You two know each other?"

June said, "Hanajima and I met him, a while back. It's been a while, I don't recall."

"Three years." Megumi said, "Of course, I don't know her, but I guessed her name. Do not worry. I'm friendly."

Beth smiled, "O-Oh, okay…"

He stepped out and shook hands with her. "Megumi Hanajima."

"Hi, I'm Beth Nevins."

"I see. You're the girl that is the wild one, created the macabre story with the devil, using Arisa as the main character."

"OH! You heard about it? What do you think?"

"Not bad. June's story with Yozuki was mysterious. But the wax story… my sister told… Perfection."

Beth snorted, "Everyone's a critic."

June asked, "Hey, why are you awake, at this night?"

He said to her, "I keep watch, in case I learn of any hauntings that go on in this house. It may not be the witching hour, nor it is Golden Week, but anything is possible. My sister's veil as a creepy girl is all false. Surely, you do not know her true essence."

June said, "Heck, naw. I think we'll take your word for it."

Beth sniffled, "So… You have electrical waves, too?"

Megumi said, "No. I have the power to curse people. My sister only has that power. Luckily, the only way the curse can happen is if I can learn of the victim's names. You two are friends of my sister, so you're cool."

Beth sighed, "Thank goodness." She thought, "Freaks all around… And it's turning into an animal house."

June said, "Well, we don't want to wake your sister up. We're just gonna go back to bed."

Megumi replied, "Yes. Please, take care." He added, "By the way, one last thing… If you wish to see your mother again… Check the museum."

June nodded, "Good point. And thanks."

The sisters leave Hanajima's room. Megumi shut the door to the closet. He whispered, "See you tomorrow."

XXXXX

June & Beth continued to walk, as Beth replied, "What a nice guy. Not." She trembled, "This place gives me the creeps."

June smiled, "Well, you're gonna get even scared, when Mom catches us, this late at night."

They stopped, after the sound of thunder. The museum door opened. June gasped, as Beth whispered, "The door opened." They walked closer to the door. June said, "This is stupid… Come on."

They shut the door, but the door was caught. A lone hand blocked the door. June gasped. The door opened, revealing to be a woman with long blonde hair and a red bow, with a gunshot wound on her chest.

"Minako Aino?"

Minako Aino of "Sailor Moon" (appeared in "Four Faces", "The Obsolete Guardian", and "Dead Air")

"Come right in, girls." Minako said, "You're just in time…"

Beth shivered, "Uhhhh… No thanks…" June nudged her and said, "Come on. This is a perfect chance. So what if they tempt us to get in."

"I don't want to go in."

"Lemme guess… You're grounded. Mom already grounded you. What's the point?"

"Ugh… Fine. But even if my tale did make Mom jump, might as well enjoy my last moment of freedom."

They stepped inside, as Minako remarked, "Enter the Haunted Museum, of the Tales of the Bizarre. Bear witness the horrors of the many victims that suffered the intended gloom."

June corrected, "Uh, you mean impending doom? Same old Minako… She's like Eimi Ohba."

Minako said, "You mean, them?" She showed plush dolls of Eimi Ohba, Yuu Inagawa, & Aya Hasebe (from "And When Comic Party Closed") in a glass case. She narrated, "Comic Party… Three authors were victims of their demise."

Beth barked, "Wait, that was from a Twilight Zone episode!"

June said, "The first tale… but not the last. The episode "And When the Sky Opened"... they made this tale more tamer, but the plot stayed."

Beth nodded, "First death fic?"

Minako remarked, "That would be Unfaithful Love. The death of Taichi Kamiya… which, in turn, the author admitted that Matt Ishida and Sora Takenouchi are married… but it was only revealed accurately, in fandom."

June asked, "How about the first robot tale?"

Minako said, "Mission: Ichijou, a Pani Poni tale. Based off of Episode 10 of the anime."

June nodded, and then saw a mannequin of a girl with long red hair. She saw the plaque and read: "Sakuya… from "Sister Princess". She was a victim of the Tale "Pause, Dear Brother". This fate was intended as her true fate. But because the story was so dark, the ending was remade to a happy ending." She tapped the mannequin. Minako called, "HEY! Don't touch!"

June said, "Uh, sorry. I thought she'd be real."

Minako replied, "Well, too real. Hanajima's museum allows even the best of unlucky souls who suffer their despair."

"Don't you mean suffer their demise?" Beth corrected, but June correctly barked, "She meant… "Souls that succumb to their demise!", but it didn't matter anyways."

They looked around, as June said, "Nothing but replicas. Say, Mina-." She gasped, as she turned around. Minako vanished. June said, "Uhhh… Where did she go?"

Beth said, "I don't know, and don't care, but I want out!"

She marched off, only to run into a mannequin of a girl in black hair. It was Mio Akiyama (from "K-On!"; appeared in "The After Hours" and "Cross Heart Soulmates"). Beth gasped, "MIO!" She prepared to fight. She paused, "Oops… Wrong series. I forget… she comes to life, every month."

Mio moved, as she responded, "No, not really… I still talk, but I cannot move, until the time has come. We mannequins come to life, every 30 days."

Beth replied, "Oh, yeah, another Twilight Zone episode. And a classic, too."

"What?"

"Nothing. Say, why are you in the museum, Miss Akiyama?"

"Strangely enough… After I learned that I am a mannequin, Miss Hanajima brought me here, along with the mannequins of Harada and Mayu. Sadly, after they got married, the mannequins turned into lifeless shells. But I'm not alone, as I have mannequin friends with me, in this wing. This is my Mannequin Wing, and I'm the headliner. I am very popular."

Beth said, "I see. Are there other mannequins with you?"

Mio said, "No… Only her." She pointed at Tohka Yatogami, who was on her knees, and completely turned to stone. She was in her human form (from "Lover's Vow"). Mio explained, "Tohka Yatogami suffered as a lifeless stone gargoyle, after she killed Shido. She never woke up from her despair… so Megumi turned her into a stone statue… only to heal her heartbreak."

"How long?"

"Months… weeks… or… never."

"Never?"

Mio replied, "Sorry… but this is really Hanajima's work. He does the curses, and she does the tales." She added, "Minako Aino was the curator to this museum. She was in three different Tales of the Bizarre. Dead Air was her true fate."

"What were the other two?"

"One, she was Kuon Ginga's alter-ego, and the other was being obsolete, after Sailor Pluto died."

"Oh."

"Anyways… my time is almost up. I should be going. Oh, I hope to have new company, maybe Sato Matsuzaka and another mannequin."

Beth said goodbye and left to find June. She whispered, "After a chat with a mannequin, I'm lost. Sis? Hello…"

As she was finding her sister, a shadowy figure watched on, in a deadly grin and red eyes.

XXXXX

June examined the Robotics Wing. June said, "Sweet. Robot fics are procured here."

She viewed each android on display. There was one with Ran Kotobuki of "Super Gals" (Shibuya Cosmos), Ichijou (Mission: Ichijou), Koyuki Azamata & Natsumi Hinata of "Sgt. Frog" (Froggy Friendship), a Jenny & Joy robot from "Pokémon" (A Young Life: Created), Rachel Moore of "Detective Conan" (Who am I?), Kirsten Thomas of "Detective Conan" (Will the Real Kirsten Thomas Please Stand Up?), Ami Mizuno of "Sailor Moon" (Sailor Fun Theater)and a couple others. There was an empty display. It said "Coming soon - Beatrix Yozuki Noctiflora of "Moé Ninja Girls RPG"." June said, "Interesting… And just when the stories expand their horizons."

"I TOLD YOU! Do not rework the wires!" A female voice called.

June approached the table, and then saw three busty girls, working on a female android. They were Akari Hanao, Enju Saion-Ji, & Ricka Machiyuki (all from "Chiyo Life"). Akari sobbed, "Sorry… They looked tangled."

"Tangled, schmangled! Just get the android working, soon enough!" Enju cried.

Ricka said, "We're not making progress."

June asked, "Excuse me… Uh… You girls, like, working on something?"

Enju said, "As a matter of fact, yes. You see, after the Sakaki Robot and Chiyo Robot all failed… We wanted to try something new for the Chiyo Life Project."

Ricka added, "We axed it. Moved on."

Akari said, "So, we decided to revive an old favorite. Take a look."

She revealed a tarp of a girl in long purple hair. She was naked, as the tarp only showed her head, shoulders, and covered her bare chest.

"Sena Aoi?!" June gasped, "Wait a minute… She wasn't in a Tale of the Bizarre!"

Enju said, "No, not yet. We're doing New Gen Robotics. Sadly, we have no approval yet on Sena-bot." She fixed a wire, "Here's what went wrong."

Sena's eyes lit up, and beeped, "Beep. Beep. Do you like my feet? How about a rubdown? I love ice pops. I like red ice pops."

Sena was turned off, as Akari muttered, "Nuts. We goofed again. She likes blue, not red."

Ricka sighed, "Blue as ice. Should power her ice pop batteries."

Enju said, "No, sticky stuff would short her out."

June asked, "Hey… where's Myu?"

Akari asked, "Who? Oh, Myu Momochi." She responded, "I ate her."

June was speechless, as Enju roared, "I told you not to eat your employees, Akari… The last time you did it, you ate a Black Bull."

This Akari was from the double feature "Two of Us and Feast of Love". Akari was from the latter.

Akari moaned, "But I'm hungry, now!"

Ricka said, "Go on tofu diet. I prefer fried noodle hot dog diet."

Akari sniffled, "Yeah… but Eri Shiina was health food, after she was transported from the Health Spa Planet. This was all I can eat." She held up Shiina's severed arm, showing no blood. It's actually made of tofu and beans.

June gasped, "No way… To Serve Man, but with a dietary twist. Where's the rest of Shiina?"

Ricka said, "Fridge."

June left, as Enju resumed working. She beeped, "Attention… Sena Aoi Android needs repairs. Must repair. KZZT! Enju-07 offline. Shutting doo…"

THIS Enju is from "Enju's World, Enju's Life".

Enju dropped onto Sena's body and was lifeless. Akari sighed, "Nuts… Looks like we got two robots to fix." She stared at Ricka and said, "But first… how about some lunch?" She unhinged her razor-sharp fangs, and Ricka shivered, "Uhhh…" Akari chased after Ricka, and Ricka screamed, "DIDN'T WANT TALES OF BIZARRE! Bizarre Tales! I QUIT! WANT TO BE NINJA GIRL!"

June arrived at the kitchen, near the room she was in, and saw a mirror. Yui & Ui were waiting for her, as they were scared.
Yui & Ui Hirasawa of "The Demon Mirror".

June ignored them, as Yui cried, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT! Young lady! Help us!"

Ui sobbed, "No, it's no use. She's doomed. We're trapped here, along with another."

Yui asked, "Wait… Did she have a sister, too? We can lure her in, as well."

As the sisters pondered, June reached for the refrigerator, and opened the door. She gasped in horror. It was a huge walk-in freezer. It had the dead bodies of various characters. Those included Tanukichi Okuma (Tanukichi Love), Geo Stelar (The Ghost House), Ayame Kajou (Kajou Hate), Minami Kinoshita (Prince Yuki Witching Hour), Sena Shirasu, or what's left of her (The Crow Girl), Joanna Stevens (Goodbye, Jo), and Kaname Chidori (Whispered Bloodlust). June was shocked, but paused and asked, "Huh… Auntie Jo was in this series? Hmm… I should ask Auntie Michelle about this. She used to date Joanna."

She turned around, and then…
WHACK!
June was knocked out cold. She fell to the floor and was being dragged away by a shadowy female figure.

Elsewhere, Beth was looking around the hallway, until she found a huge airplane. Beth asked, "How the hell did she fit a huge airplane into a small house?"

"Oh, hello. You must be our new passenger." A robotic female voice called.

Two huge breasted flight attendants were standing in place, as they bowed, bouncing their huge breasts. One has long black hair, and one has long orange hair. These were the android flight stewardesses from "First Class Time", portrayed by Nico Robin and Nami of "One Piece". Beth gasped, "Whoa… What huge knockers."

The androids said, "Thank you." Robin reached for Beth, using her extended arm and said, "Please step this way. Enter the loving arms of Hanajima Air."

Beth cried, as she was pulled in, "AAAAGH! LEMME GO, YOU INSPECTOR GADGET KNOCK-OFF!" Robin clutched her into her huge boobs and said, "Now-now, child, you need supervision. Do not worry. We shall keep you company."

Beth muffled, "Can't breathe… How big are these J-Cups?"

Miz-K NOTE: Odd. Nami is 98J and Robin is 100J. Aren't they supposed to be G-Cups?

"Would you like soda?" Nami said, as she held up a bottle of soda, "Free for the flight, but the second one will cost you, if you're that thirsty."

Beth moaned, "No… thank you… Can I go now-?"

The robots walked into the plane, as Beth cried, "HEY, WAIT! I don't wanna go! Besides, in real life, I DON'T LIKE FLYING IN A PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!"

She was aboard the plane, in First Class. She pouted, holding her arms, "Assholes." She muttered, "I don't wanna be on a plane…"

She heard the radio play, as Lan Hikari (B-Side of Wily) was speaking. "Hey, all you cats and dogs out there, thank you for playing Hanajima Airlines, and I'm your cool cat, Lan Hikari, dead and mighty as the number 9, broadcasting to you on KSFR, the only radio station streaming to you, 24/7, every day, in the Hanajima Household, with a bunch of tunes that you will enjoy. Songs that make your head hurt, guessing what it is. But I think you tell me, friends. Now, dig this tune, Beth Nevins. You're about to experience a one-way flight of your life… to your worst nightmares!"

A huge K-Pop beat plays, as Beth growled. The plane started to take off, and the windows were dimmed black. The lights were flickering, while Beth put her seatbelt on. She stammered, "I don't like planes…"

"Neither do we." Kazuki & Johnny were on the plane, shaken and scared. Kazuki's from "Death in the Family", and Johnny's from "The Nightmare Girl". Both boys were victims.

"Huh? You too?" Beth asked them.

Kazuki moaned, "Hotaru killed me. She was a looney, when she played with embalmed and stiff corpses… like they were dolls."

Johnny sobbed, "You're telling me. And I can't believe Yamabuki ever loved me. She would dump me, after I had a theme park accident."

Kazuki huffed, "Uh, Johnny… Yamabuki's my girl; well, one of 16." He corrected, "And Cy & the Hag don't count, anyways. I'm true blue to Enju."

Beth glared, and huffed sarcastically, "How did you even appear in a Tale of the Bizarre, anyway?"

The PA sounded, as a blonde woman appeared, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your stewardess, Farra, speaking." Farra Stevens was in "The Teacher's Life", as a hellish demon, "Enjoy your flight… because this will be the worst thing you ever experienced. Thank you for flying Hanajima Air. If you've chosen this airline service, then nice knowing you." The Puppet of Azusa Nanako appeared in her right hand, as she called, "Enjoy the ride, suckers."

The plane began to take off, as Beth shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" She called, "Auntie Farra, stop this crazy thing!"

Farra ignored Beth, as the puppet said, "She can't hear you. She's undead." Farra returned, with her sweater lightly tattered, her hair withered, and her face scarred from her right cheek. She said to the people, with her pupils blood red and her eyes black as night, "Please enjoy this special film collection of the first 25 Tales of the Bizarre, everyone. But first, a word from our sponsors."

A movie is shown in black and white, as Farra appeared in the empty room, "Here, in Tales of the Bizarre, we are very choosy on who should be the victim, thanks to our one per victim rule, a rule with the star character's fate to be decided, whether with happy endings or death… Here are a few testimonials from past victims."

Mukuro Ikusaba - "Identity Crisis"
Mukuro was in her outfit, with smeared makeup on, "Being a part of the story, despite that I'm dead in-canon, was an experience. Back then, I used to be a double for my sister, Junko Enoshima. Sadly… I despise makeup and showing my cleavage. But it's all in memory, as I always wanted to dress up as my sister, again, despite that I am very witty and tactical. My time on Tales of the Bizarre was brief, but I'm better off dead, which I am."

Futaba Tsukimi - "The Crow Girl"
Futaba was shown, with her clothes tattered, and most of her skin removed, showing bone, "In Moé Ninja Girls, I started out as a villain, as Yatagarasu. For closure, they met me with Luzer the crow. While I am happy to be in YTG8, being devoured by a crow was a perfect way to end my despair, and to become one with my digestive side. Thank you, Saki Hanajima, and please don't forget to smile, since half of my face cannot, being that Luzer ate most of it."

Triple H - "The Goat of the Hero"
Triple H, a huge man in short hair and a bushy beard, in a business suit, said to the audience, "I'm WWE Hall of Famer and the founder of NXT, Triple H. Tales of the Bizarre was the best thing going for WWE, as we retold our famous story pitting myself against Daniel Bryan. While The Authority is now gone forever, Stephanie and I were honored to give closure to perhaps our best storyline in WWE, giving birth to a future hall of famer. While we did not like how me, Steph, and Kane all died in the end, it was simply to retell how a B-Plus Superstar (at the time) can amount to anything, against top stars, just like how Kofi Kingston did, not long ago. And that… is what's best for business."

Mitzi Nohara - "Chosen"
A woman appeared, shaken and scared, "I shouldn't even be here, but I'll make this fast. As a part of the Tales of the Bizarre series, I am happy that we-."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A huge explosion engulfed the entire room, eviscerating Mitzi into nothing; similar to how she died in Chosen.

Akira Kogami - "Unlucky Channel"
Akira pounded the 4th wall and shrieked, "LET ME OUT! THIS IS TORTURE! I DON'T BELONG HERE! I SWEAR TO YOU! ERI SAWACHIKA IS WITH ME, AND SHE'S AN UNDEAD GHOUL! HELP ME! MINORU! MINORUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

A zombie of Eri Sawachika (Comic Obscura) clasped onto Akira, and started to devour her.

Farra concluded, with the logo to Tales of the Bizarre. "Tales of the Bizarre - We don't decide your fate. They do. (Exclusively located in the 5th dimension)"

The movie concluded, as Beth asked, "Uhhh… What?" She saw a full testimonial video of victims that were killed in the stories. Farra approached her and said, "Enjoy your flight, dear child?"

Beth asked, "Farra, what are you doing here?"

Farra whispered, "Shush! I'm not really Farra. I was in The Teacher's Life, as a cleric from Hell, to Sawako Yamanaka. And I wanted to show off my demonic side, since I love horror shit. Didn't mean to scare you, like that, Beth."

Beth said, "I see… If you're not my Auntie Farra, what can you do?"

Farra grinned to the 4th wall, "Watch this." She turned to Beth, and held up the Azusa Puppet, "Detention."

Beth shivered in fear, as Farra removed her head with her puppet hand, and said, "Believe now?"

Beth shrieked, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Meanwhile, in a greenhouse, June was being tied up in vines. A girl in cat ear headphones, was watering human-shaped plants, humming to Greensleeves. This is Hidomi Hibijiri of FLCL (Dead Leaves). Hidomi said, "You're awake, aren't you, little one? I have green fingers… I can grow anybody… Anyone at all… even me…"

June moaned, "Whoa… This is long before JoJo Golden Wind. Times like this I wish I had my powers."

Hidomi walked towards the body of Eri Shiina, the same girl that was turned into tofu. She was locked in a blushed smile, with her right arm and left foot removed, hugging a stuffed animal. June gasped, as Hidomi said, "She was starting to warm up, so I had to regrow and rebuild her body, into new tofu. She was holding onto an animal. It was a stuffed bee. Her last words, before she was turned into edible ninja… "Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!"."

June gasped, as Hidomi was preserving Eri Shiina. She said, "They never resolved To Serve Man. A cookbook, oldest twist in the book. But I showed everyone… In fact, Ide and I… are going to start a family…"

June broke free and said, "Look, this place is madness… but I wanna leave here, soon enough. Sis & I got curious, and we ended up here. Why are there so many people dead, and so many as different things?"

Hidomi said, "It's simple, but hard to explain, either way. Saki Hanajima and your mother… They created this realm. You're not in Hanajima's household, anymore…"

June shivered, "My god… We're in a Tale of the Bizarre, aren't we?"

Hidomi said, "You're in more of an anthology collection. But, allow me to awaken your inner demon… isn't that right, Devil Princess?"

June asked, "Uh, that's in The Gang IN-ACTION. I'm-."

A figure appeared, as she was blonde with thick eyebrows. She was the Perfect Wife, Mugi. She said, "Lovely, isn't it, June Nevins? Or should I say… Tohru Honda?" Her eyebrows fluffed up, and then she chanted, "Gaze to my brows, they make you boggle… change into her, or your mind will joggle…"

June was being mesmerized, as Mugi hypnotized her. She smiled, "I always wanted to do that." She called to Satsuki Kiryuin (Courage, Indeed), who appeared from the trees, "Miss Kiryuin, shall we have tea together?"

Satsuki nodded, "Please. Plant girl, will you join us?"

Hidomi said, "Sure. Would you like a slice of Shiina?"

Satsuki smiled, "Give me the heart. And, uh, a thigh."

June was mesmerized, as she grabbed a sharp knife, and then walked out of the greenhouse, while Mugi, Satsuki, & Hidomi had tea together. June suddenly started to slowly change. Her blonde hair became brown, her body grew taller, and her green eyes changed to blue. Her grin was demonic, and her aura was red. June Nevins transformed into… Tohru Honda! (Stop Killing Me and Prince Yuki Witching Hour)

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She cackled, as she spotted a victim. It was Hotaru Kokonohi (Death in the Family), calling on her cellphone. She moaned, "OMG! This place gives me the creeps. Like, I gotta call Bookie and get me a flight out of this nightmare."

June smiled, as she held up the knife, and stabbed Hotaru in the back. She screamed, as June cackled, "AHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Hotaru fell dead and said, "Rat boy says that I'm a bad girl… to kill for no good reason…" She then approached the corpse of Motoko (Prince Yuki Witching Hour), hanging on a hook, and then stuffed a small bomb inside. "But bitches that want him, never say no."

SPLATTER!
Motoko's chest exploded, showing her bare breasts, and blood and guts, as it not only pop her bra out, but bust open her stomach. "SPLUT! …goes the demon!" She pranced off, leaving a trail of blood behind.

Beth emerged from the plane, dizzy and shaken. She moaned, "Hanajima is so getting a negative review, next time I go there. Twenty-five Tales… one night… None of this should've happened, if it weren't for the snow bunny. Ugh… Why did this happen, so quickly?"

Hanajima's voice called to her, "Bethany Nevins. Do not fear. You did right… experiencing the hell that most of my victims procured. Those who were lucky are spared. But now, I fear resolve must be done."

Beth asked, "Eh?"

She saw a blonde woman, walking around, dressed in silver and black attire. Her eyes were lit in an LED pink, and was walking robotically. Beth gasped, "Mommy? No… She's a robot! But how?"

Hanajima said, "Someone did this. Not you, of course. But we know that there is but one story that has yet to be resolved."

"One story? But I experienced almost every story. What am I missing? I may have viewed every story."

"Not all of them. Recall the previous 30… and see where the problem lies…"

Beth watched, as Heather beeped, "Wait… Was she hacked?"

Heather responded, "Child detected… Beginning hunt."

"OH, SHIT!" She ran off, as Heather responded, "Profanity is not allowed for a child. Punishment Mode is online."

Beth cried, "MOM IS A ROBOT, SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME, IN THIS BACKWARDS STORY SERIES, HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!" She gasped, "Wait… I need to figure out which story that made her this way… hacked… No, not HackNet. No, not any robot-. Robot… Wait a minute…" She figured it out, "The one with Cy! Uh… uhhhh… What was it called?"

"As much as I want to make the world more vibrant and obedient, I would. All I care for is turning the world into my vision. For example… should I turn a simple human into a mindless slave, I would replace the brain, as a whole. Or, for that matter, replacing the entire brain may be messy. Why settle for controlling the brain, when you can control the body? That is why I plan to replace EVERY miserable human…"

"ONE BUNNY'S LOVE!" Beth shouted, "THAT'S IT!" She ran down the halls, heading to a laboratory. Heather was gaining on her, and Beth prepared the antidote. She then mixed up a blue potion and cried, "STOP! One more step, and I'll disable you, permanently!"

Heather scanned the potion and said, "Error. The serum you created is harmless. It is a fluid called Berry Juice."

"It is?" She sipped it and said, "Hmm… raspberry. I must be more of a genius than I thought. But Mom… why did you change into a robot, like One Bunny's Love? In that story, Bell and Bailey were androids by HaruHaru!"

Heather beeped, "Response: DON'T look at me." She walked forward, as Beth sobbed, "I tried… But I ended up dooming us all…"

June suddenly appeared and cackled, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well, looks like we have a mechanical Mom-droid!"

Heather turned to June and said, "We will have a long talk, young lady." She walked forward, and June threw her knife into Heather's chest. Heather buzzed and beeped, as she was impaled with the knife. She fell to the floor, as Beth gasped, "CRAP! You killed Mom!"

June hissed, as she was under the possession of Tohru Honda. She then said to her, "And you're a dead wabbit… What's the matter, Bugs? Had your last joke? I will enjoy rabbit stew and all this, too… with tofu!" She held up Shiina's tofu head and Shiina weakly moaned, "Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute…"

Beth shrieked, as June threw the head down and said, "Now, it's your turn to die." June went closer, as she approached her sister, with the knife in hand. Beth was cornered, and June was about to stab her.

"JUNE, WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!" Beth hollered.

She ducked out of the way and cried, "OH, CRAP! Sis is possessed!"

June called, "COME BACK HERE, WABBIT! I'll skin you alive! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Beth ran down the halls and cried, "HANAJIMA USED YOU!"

Hanajima's voice bellowed, "Like the devil I did!"

"Huh?"

"June's possessed by Tohru Honda's evil spirit… This is NOT Tohru Honda… Besides, the Tohru I know was sweet, kind, and very helpful. Plus, she has brown eyes."

"Damn those reboots!"

"I cannot help you, but… there is ONE other way… Back to the bedroom!"

Beth retreated to the bedroom, and then was cornered by June, appearing by the doorway. Hanajima said, "Reach to the drawer. Resolve this!" Beth pulled out a butcher knife. She then grinned, "Ahh, I see… but… Who won that fic?"

"It matters not. There are stories that leave the readers guessing… but even in visions of ideas, one can ask if it happens or not. Keep the readers guessing, even in dreams. NOW DO IT!"

Beth nodded, "Right!"

June hollered, as she lunged her knife, "DIE, YOU STUPID RABBIT!"

Beth charged at her, and hollered, "FORGIVE ME!"

The ending to "Stop Killing Me" replayed! Kyo & Tohru were about to kill each other in one final blow! She charged at him. She held up her butcher knife and yelled, "DIE, YOU STUPID FELINE!"

Kyo pulled out the knife and roared, "I'M SORRY!"

STAB!

Thunder boomed, as both sisters attacked at the same time.

SPLAT!
Blood fell, but whose blood bled first?

Unfortunately, that was the end of the story.

"AH!" Beth woke up from her bed, as she looked around. She was back in Hanajima's house. She moaned, "Darn it… I'll never read another Bizarre Tale, again… for as long as I live."

Everything was all a dream, as Beth was able to save herself and her sister. Beth went back to sleep, and then relaxed. The rain subsided, and the thunderstorms ended.

XXXXX

The next morning, the Nevins Family was about to leave, as Heather said, "Well, thanks for the visit, Saki. and you too, Megumi." She said, as both Hanajimas were present.

Saki said, "It's quite alright. Your daughters are wonderful guests… though, I don't see why Beth was scared straight."

Heather smiled, "Oh, it's alright. She must've read too many of our tales. Maybe now, young lady, you'll learn to behave."

Beth sobbed, "I'll behave, Mommy… I had a nightmare… and everyone was there. I never knew that things were so scary."

June smiled, "Wow! She finally broke."

Saki said, "Well, it's alright. Beth Nevins, as long as you stay good, you will be a good girl, from now on. And I'm happy that you helped us with our story ideas. You're welcome to visit me, anytime. Just a family visit."

Beth moaned, "Yeah, that's fine. But I hope I don't get cursed again."

Heather muttered, "Oh, please. Curses are the bunk." She stated, "And if you're not careful, next time, you will be cursed by the bad witch girl, Saki Hanajima."

Megumi responded, "Excuse me, Miss…" He calmly said, "As much as you are partners with my sister, I advise that you behave, and treat her nicely. Back then, my sister had suffered a lot, and our parents helped her. Even so, we do not want to see this end badly, don't you… Heather Dunn?"

Heather asked, "Uhhh… How did he know my full name? You know who I am… right?"

Megumi said, "Until now. We never got a proper greeting… But word to the wise… enjoy three days of freedom."

Saki nodded, "I apologize, but I should've warned you not to say your name, while in my home. You see, my brother, Megumi…"

"… … …"

SMASH!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Heather ran out of the house, screaming like a banshee, and running to the car. She cried, "JUNE! BETH! GET IN THE CAR! I SAID GET IN THE CAR, NOW!"

June & Beth leave, as June said, "Well, until we meet again, Miss Hanajima. And you too, Megumi."

Megumi smiled, "Please stop by again, girls. Hanajima does love your company."

They returned to the car, as the Hanajimas saw them leave.

Saki smiled, "Well… they are a fun family. But they do remind me of Tohru and Arisa. It's still fun, but I do miss the old days."

A knock on the door was made, as Arisa and Tohru appeared. Uo smiled, "Hey, Hanajima. Did I just see a car leave?"

Tohru asked, "OH! Did you have company, Hana-chan?"

Saki said, "Well, more or less. Come on in."

Uo said, "So… that was Heather Dunn, huh? Dammit, I so wanted to see her."

Saki said, "You'll see, soon enough. Her daughter, Beth, did a story about you."

Uo cheered, "Aw, for real? Lemme read it!"

Tohru shivered, "Oh… I hope she doesn't die in this one."

"DON'T SPOIL THE ENDING, TOHRU!"

"OOPS! Sorry, Uo-chan."

As they returned to the living room, Megumi narrated, "Yes… Everyone is a storyteller… Everyone can tell a different story. Many can tell tales, or true stories… but no one can read what goes on in our stories. While most of our Tales are grim and torture… some ended happily.
Like Tomo & Yomi, they changed the future… Like Wyatt Williams, he found his dream girlfriend, that of Sayuri Hida… like that of Rein Tsunomoto, who overcame her grief… like Rei Hino, who died, but was given a second chance… Dozens of them.
There are so many interesting stories to tell, about anybody and everybody, but… there isn't enough time to tell them all."

Megumi shut the door and said, "By the way, Heather's curse will not happen. I was only joking. Even if she was, it takes three days to put the curse into full effect." he smiled, approaching the front door, "Goodnight, Beth Nevins… wherever you are."

The door slammed shut.

Meanwhile, Heather was driving home, as she said to her daughters, "I can't take you two anywhere… Every time we go, I get the short end of the stick! I feel like I'm jinxed! Why did I agree to help Hanajima?"

June said, "Maybe you were still panicky. How about a nice long rest, when we get home? Sis and I will handle things."

Heather sniffled, "Yeah… Great idea. But still… What's gotten into you, today? You're shaken… like you've seen a ghost."

Beth said, "You don't know the half of it. I wanna go home!"

Heather sighed, "Alright… but first things first, for scaring me with that damnable story with Arisa Uotani, and playing Satan… you're grounded for a month!"

Beth cried, "WHAT?"

Heather said, "You, too, June. For ending with a story that leaves the readers guessing, you're grounded for two months."

June complained, "WHAT DID I DO? And why's my punishment longer than Beth's?"

Heather calmly said, "She impressed Hanajima. That's why. And that's earning something."

The car stopped, as they gasped. June asked, "What's wrong?"

A beam of light is shown, as Heather sobbed, "Girls… I don't think we're in a pandemic, anymore…"

They parked the car next to a desolate area. It was a vacant city, similar to an old decrypt city in Comic Obscura. She stepped out of the car and said, "Where are we?"

Beth sobbed, "Mommy, I'm scared…"

Heather said, "It's alright… I am, too." She hollered, "SAKI HANAJIMA! IF THIS IS YOUR DOING, GAME'S OVER! Fun's fun, but this is ridiculous!"

The girls were looking around the city, but little do they know… a figure was viewing the action, in a small projector. It was the same woman from before.

"You are wrong, Heather Dunn." She whispered, "This… is my own Tale of the Bizarre… a story that ends with a very shocking twist ending, after five whole stories. Who knows what could come next, after the end of the next story?"

The Nevins continued to look around the city, as the woman covered the projector, after turning it off. She concluded, "The story is over… but the nightmares are just beginning."

The woman revealed herself to be… … … … …Saki Hanajima, herself.

She turned to the audience and said, "The Tales of the Bizarre… is never-ending. There's always continuation… or a sequel…"

She smiled and ended, glowing her purple eyes, "Until then… good night… stay safe… wherever you are…
Unpleasant dreams…"

The screen cuts to black, as Hanajima laughs lightly in echoes.

Good night…
