"Children of the Revolution"
Episode 2 - The Natural Compatriots' Palace Perspective Book
by Rose Priestess
Opening Theme: Rose is Rain
Scene: The grounds of Ohtori Gakuen, slightly reminiscient of the "Adolescence Apocalypse" movie. Scott, clad in the Ohtori boys' uniform, can be seen walking through the gray morning light feebly attempting to figure out just where he is.
Scott: [for the first time, he really notices the architectural ingenuity of the school] Unbelievable... [a few girls run by] Well, the uniforms are definitely Ohtori, but there's still something a bit off. [he walks a bit further and comes upon the greenhouse. His breath catches sharply in his throat when he sees the lone figure inside, tending to the roses.] H-Himemiya-san? Is it really you? [his eagerness gets the better of him and he slams open the door to the greenhouse] HIMEMIYA-SAN!
Veronica: [a loud clang resounds throughout the academy as she whaps him with her watering can] Baka...
Scott: [twitching on the floor] ;_; ...why, Anshi, why?
Veronica: [kneels down next to him] Because I didn't have a mallet. *That's* why.
Scott: [looks up at her, slwoly regaining his senses (wait, he has senses? When did this happen?) Cutey! What are you doing here?!
Veronica: I was about to ask you the same thing! When I got to Wonder Bowl, I couldn't find you guys and there wasn't anyone up at the desk, sooooo wasn't much I could do.
Scott: [flatly] Though you obviously found Matt's doujinshi.
Veronica: [in an equally flat tone] No shit. Now let's never speak of it again.
Scott: Speaking of which, have you seen Matt or Sami around? I'm sure they were right behind me...
Veronica: [coughs] Well, no, I haven't seen *them* around, but I did find somebody else. [gestures for the figure hiding behind a rose bush to come forward] Um, I'm not exactly sure how to explain this, but...Scott, meet Juliana. Your...daughter.
Scott: [eyes become perfectly round and circular in disbelief] Daughter?! [gapes at the little girl with the large mahogany eyes and deep brown, almost black, hair]
Juliana: [radiating a huge smile] Papa-san! [clings to him]
Scott: [faints]
Scene: The *shudder* Chairman's wing. Ohtori Akio is spread out (no pun intended) on one of the white leather couches stargazing, by himself for once. The elevator doors open with an abrupt ping and an enraged Samantha storms out.
Samantha: WHAT THE HELL?!
Akio: [holding his forehead in pain] Yare yare...you again.
Samantha: Yeah, me again! [tries to regain her composure] Okay...first of all, the obvious question of why do you keep sucking us in here?! I mean, it was fucking great the first thousand times, but now it's starting to wear on my nerves! [involuntary eye twitch]
Akio: [yawns, and strecthes like a cat] What can I say? Things have been rather slow around Ohtori as of late...heh, I figured this might liven things up.
Samantha: [throws her hands up in the air in frustration] Oh, beautiful! Because Utena-san brings a friggin' revolution, *I* have to be your "entertainment." [pouts]
Akio: [looks at her strangely] What did you just say about a revolution? Who's this Utena-san person?
Samantha: [realizes that he has no idea who Utena is, so she quickly backtracks] Eh...oh, n-nothing. Just babbling. Must have been the "jet lag." Anyway, so where the hell's my Seitokai uniform? It is just *not* a good idea to go around Ohtori in a skirt this short with legs this long.
Akio: [smirks] Oh, I beg to differ. After all, I *did* design these uniforms myself.
Samantha: [narrows her eyes and glares at him] Gee, why am I not surprised?
Akio: Well, your uniform should be waiting for you back at your dorm, though it's doubtful that *any* of you will be dueling at all.
Samantha: *blinkies* Why not..?
Akio: [grins] I already have a new group of fine, young Duellists assembled to take on Saionji.
Samantha: **Saionji's the current Victor?** Then for what purpose did you bring us here for?
Akio: And spoil the surprise in the second episode? Really now, you of all people should know me better than that, my dear.
Samantha: Bakayaro! [kicks him in the balls, but hits her foot on something metal. A loud clang resonates through the Chairman's wing and Samantha is left holding her foot in pain] Dammit! Grr...steel cup, huh?
Akio: Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many people keep trying to kick me.
Samantha: Oh, yes I would...[limps to the elevator in pain]
~*Commercial Break*~
Scene: One of Ohtori's numerously nameless walls. Shadow Girls A-ko and B-ko bob genki-ly up and down, chattering away mindlessly.
A-ko: I wonder, I wonder...
Both: Do you know what I wonder?
B-ko: Our brave heroes are back! At last they've returned!
A-ko: Oh dear, are they still focusing their efforts on escapism? They'll only fail if they do!
B-ko: Even if they are...they can't escape themselves!
Scene: That fountain from episode 7. Scott, Veronica, and Juliana are seated trying to sort things out (which is never a wise thing to try while in Ohtori). Samantha, now fully uniformed, and Matt straggle up.
Matt: Have no fear, Gai Daigouji is here! [rips open his shirt and closes it quickly] FLASH!
All: [sweatdrop]
Veronica: Baka! Not in front of the kid! [goes to smack him, but her hand goes right through his face]
Scott: Gah! What the hell?!
Samantha: Eheh, yeah, in that respect, he *is* just like Mr. Yamada...
Matt: GAI! I told you, my name is Gai Daigouji! [blushes sheepishly] It's the name my soul bears...
Samantha: [clenches her fist] I *knew* letting him watch five consecutive hours of Nadesico was a baaaaad idea. Anyhoo, who's the little girl?
Juliana: [protesting] I'm not little!
Scott: [chuckles at her kawaii-ness] Um...well...it's kinda hard to explain, but somehow we've run into my and Veronica's future daughter. One of 'em at least.
Veronica: [flatly] If the other has pink odango, I'm getting the fuck outta here. I mean, the fact that Matt's a ghost is not doing *anything* to help me retain my sanity!
Samantha: [blinkies] Sanity? Who needs sanity when you're in Ohtori? [at that moment, a rather large koi leaps out of the water and onto Juliana's lap. A letter is seen protruding form its mouth]
Juliana: [jumps up] Itai! Papa-san! [clings to him]
Scott: [picks up the still wriggling fish (chortles evilly) and removes the envelope] Hm...it's got a Rose Seal on it. [looks at the front] And it's addressed to Juliana?!
Preview of Next Episode
Veronica: Oi...I'm trapped in a bad plot contrivance of Sailormoon R!
Scott: And the fact that we would even *consider* sending our daughters to Ohtori makes me wonder what we were smoking.
Samantha: Heh, well, as Scott and Veronica cope the joys of parenthood, I'm just trying to find a way out of here. As usual.
Matt: Next time on "Shoujo Kakumei Utena": "Rose Bud".
Juliana: Zettai Unmei: Mokushiroku.
Closing Theme: Toki ni Ai wa
Author's Notes: Whew! Well, *that* took forever! The plot seems to be moving at a snail's pace, so expect a long ficcy. But interesting. It's actually based on a dream that Scott himself had, so you could call him co-author, more or less. ALL of the characters from the first fic will be returning with the exceptions of Sarah and Josh. There will also be two new characters afoot as well. As usual, the bowling alley will play its own role. As always, flames, reviews, and MSTs are greatly appreciated!
