Fantastic Friday



30 and #30 stood in the doorway as everyone snapped out of their frozen spell. They bowed at the same time, same way, then disappeared. 18 had her hand on Marron's shoulder as she looked up at the attic window. She gasped and blinked several times. The image she'd seen, slowly faded away. Miaka broke her train of thoughts. "It's Friday!" she squealed, "This nightmare is over!" Everyone started cheering, and 18 was dragged out with the crowd. Yui and Miaka, along with the other girls, ran to their rooms and started packing. Everyone else did the same. 18 walked past her room and out to the patio. There, she found 30, her ponytail out, and she was threading her fingers through her hair.

18 pulled a chair up and sat next to her. 30 looked at 18 then turned back to stare at the sun still rising. "What's wrong?" 18 asked. "Nothing." 30 said. 18 snorted. 30 smirked. "I know my kind too well." "Ah, yes," 30 whispered, "But we are not of the same kind." 18 smiled. "You know what I mean." 30 nodded. "So, what's wrong?" 30 sighed, "I think I have a heart in this body of mine." 18 raised an eyebrow. "Forget about it..." she whispered. 18 shook her head. "There's a reason why we're both here. Mine's that I miss my brother." 30's hand stiffened in her hair. She turned away from really facing 18 and felt the small blush move across her cheeks.

"Ah. Young lady, 30. I do not believe we've met before." 30 gasped and the heart, she never thought she had, got caught in her throat. She jumped up and swung around, her red hair settling on her shoulders. 17 was there, kneeled in front of her. He took her hand and kissed it lightly. 30 started muttering incoherently in Japanese.
*break in fic: turns 30 back to a human for the time being. And 17 also>*
17 stood up, still holding her hand. He heard the word "aishiteru" and looked at 18 to see if what he thought the meaning was, was the true meaning. 18 nodded. 17 turned back to 30, who had slowed her babbling. "...Androido juuhana-gou..." She finished with those words.

17 smirked. "You finished...?" 30 shook her head. "I don't care." 30 began to protest, but 17's mouth stopped her before she started. Her eyes widened and the small blush grew. 18 sat on the patio railing laughing. "17. She's young. Chill out a little." 30 pulled back and leaned over her side of the railing, gasping for air. Her hair fell to the sides of her face, bringing out the definite green in her wide eyes. 17 chuckled and flipped onto the railing. "Well... long time no see, sis." "Not long enough." 17 smiled and leaned over the railing, hanging on by his knees. "You're still the same, 18. You're never gonna change." 18 jumped off of the railing and tipped 17 over. He yelled and landed in the flower bed. "Says who?"

Just then, the door practically flew off of its hinges and the groups started filing out. Group after group, with luggage after luggage. 17 climbed to his feet and peered over the railing. The DBZ gang filed out last. Marron looked over and spotted her mom. She then spotted 17. "Uncle!" she yelled. She dropped her bags and ran over to them. 17 hopped back over the railing and scooped her up. "Hey, kiddo. How's life been treating you?" He gave her a fake punch and looked at her as she turned her head back. "Looks like it's been treating you fine." He looked over at the others and gave his famous smirk. Gohan and Trunks narrowed their eyes. 17 set Marron down and he walked to the group. He stopped beside Piccolo and stared straight ahead.

"Long time no see, pal." 17 stated. "Yeah. I guess." "Not long enough." someone else stated. "D'aww! Can't you Saiyans feel sympathetic for me?" #30 stuck her head out of the attic window before someone could answer. "Hey!" she yelled, "Where do you think you're going? You're not to leave me until late at night!" She froze the moving groups, and then brought then in the house, where she unfroze them. 30 looked up from her spot and ran after the groups. "Wait for me." "Ah. Ah. Ah." 17 grabbed 30 by the waist and pulled her back. She squeaked at how she fit perfectly with the shape of his body. She tried to pull away, but he held her tight. "You're older than me." she wailed, "It's considered statutory rape." 17 laughed and let up his hold.

"Two years is not considered rape." 30 wiggled and popped from his grasp. She jumped all the way up to the attic, where #30 still was. They both waved and disappeared through the window. 17 crossed his arms and stared at the window. "She digs me." Everyone sweatdropped. They walked back inside and closed the door. 17 walked around the mansion with his arms tucked behind his head. "Pretty fancy." The eyes of several females were on him. 30 watched from upstairs. Her eyebrow twitched at the few females that were gathering around him. She growled and kicked at the railing. It broke off and fell below. It almost hit some of the females. She looked down at them and gave a little wave.

She turned back, to go back to the attic. 17 stood in front of her. "Weren't you... just down there?" "Wanna join me?" "No." She walked on and brushed past him. He grabbed her arm and she turned around. Her fist was now in his grip, for she had thrown a punch. "I don't love. I have no heart, nor a soul." #30 popped up and whispered in 30's ear. 30 squeaked, then threw another punch in her direction. #30 grabbed her fist and smiled. She used the grip she had and pushed 30 onto 17. He grabbed her other hand and pulled it across her waist, so her arms now crisscrossed in her lap. 30 gave a yell and powered up a little. The small jolt made 17 let go and pushed him backwards, and he teetered on the edge, since 30 had broken off the railing.

He stood on his toes, on the very edge, and crossed his arms across his chest. He placed his other foot on the floor and at a fair distance apart. 30's hair slowly rose around her and energy crackled. #30 jumped in front of her, waving her arms. "No! No fighting! This place wasn't cheap!" 30 grabbed #30 by the neck. "I'm not a human. Dr. Kyuuin never gave me a heart. Turn me back." She shook her violently. "Waah! Stop! I am not a milkshake. If I was, I'd like to be stirred, not shaken." 17 laughed and so did #30. 30 sweatdropped and let her go. "K'uso. Bakayeros." She turned around and ran off. "If I'm human, I'm gonna do what they all do: commit suicide." She disappeared into the darkness. #30 peered down the hall, then down below. Everyone had disappeared once again. She held her head and screamed loudly.

She ran to the window and looked outside. Everyone was out there, playing in the very huge pool. "Oh. I forgot I had that put back there." 17 came up behind her and tipped #30 through the window. She yelled and floated midway down. She lowered herself to the ground and got splashed from water that came out of the pool. 18 was leaning over the side and smirking down at her. #30 pushed her wet bangs from her face and spat out water. 18 was then pulled under and Miboshi, Suboshi, and Amiboshi took her place. Miboshi concentrated and levitated #30 off the ground. He brought her up, then over the pool. #30 shook her head vigorously. He stopped concentrating and she plummeted into the water.

She swam back to the surface and took a deep breath. She looked around and everyone was staring at her. They all had different looks on their faces. 30 watched, from her spot on the roof, as #30 got ambushed, and dunked. She sighed and let her foot dangle over the side of the roof. She smiled at the groups in the pool. She looked in front of herself and spotted a clump of dirt, which se smoothed out. She then traced "Android 17" with little hearts around it, in the dirt. "Doesn't look anything like me." 30 yelled and slipped off the edge of the roof. She free fell and landed in the deep, and mostly empty, part of the pool. She sunk to the bottom as her hair floated around her. She blinked and opened her eyes. She saw the wavering figure of 17, with his arms on his hips. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth. She felt herself get dizzy as she lost more air.

She opened her eyes one last time to see 17 jumping in after her. She took a deep breath, sucking in water, then everything went black as she fell unconscious. 17 pulled her from the pool and along the side, laying her out. He moved his wet hair out of his face as he checked for a pulse. Chichiri, Mitsukake, and the others came up beside them. Chichiri floated on outside the pool, by her side, and Mitsukake floated on the other side, so he was in the pool. Mitsukake passed his hands over 30's body. He shook his head. "I cannot heal her." "What do you mean, you can't heal her?" 17 shouted. "Her blood ran cold too quickly. I cannot heal the dead." 17 looked down at 30 and noticed that she was extremely paler then anyone he'd ever seen.

"She didn't want to be healed." Everyone turned and stared at Chichiri. "She didn't," he continued, "She brought on the cold." Just then, something broke through the surface and everyone now stared at the bright red hair of 30. "My astral body." she giggled. She then pouted, "What'd you guys do to her?" She closed her eyes and the body glowed, then disappeared. 30's true body itself glowed and she returned to normal. She didn't have time to react, for she was attacked by everybody. They dunked her several times, each time right after the other. After what she thought was the last one, she was pulled aside and given another one, but when she opened her eyes, she saw 17 with her.

She frowned and crossed her arms. She started swimming to the surface, but 17 grabbed her leg. He pulled her back down and into his arms. She pouted and stiffened up. 17 smiled and started pinching her. 30 put up with it until it became annoying. She turned around and raised a fist. 17 leaned down and kissed her. 30 let her arm drop down to her side. She refused to open up to the kiss until 17 pressed his thumb against her throat. She gasped and opened her mouth. That gained 17 his access. They stayed down there for who knows how long, but when they came up, there was now a big barbecue out in the backyard.

17 climbed out of the pool, then helped 30 out. Everybody looked up at them, as they stood on the edge of the pool, and began hollering and cheering. Mandie, who sat on the roof with Ranma, shouted down to #30, who was BBQing with others, "Hey, chum! She does better than you!" #30 flipped a burger up and whacked it like a baseball. It hit Mandie square in the face. "That one was well done!" Mandie wiped the mess from her face and glowered at #30. Everyone was laughing and walking around in their swimsuits. 17 and 30 sat on the pool wall. Nakago, Soi, and others helped create the big bonfire. 17 picked up 30 and walked over to the fire. They sat next to Miaka and Tamahome, and Yui and Suboshi.

The cooks handed out plates of food to everyone, even those who were on the roof. #30 stood on a boulder. "Who wants to be the lucky ones to lead us in a song?" Miaka jumped up, but Tamahome pulled her back down. Mandie called down from the roof, "I'll do it! And Ranma'll sing with me." They jumped down and landed in front of #30. She hopped off the boulder and let the duet step up. They started singing a love song, which got to the hearts of old and new couples. After a few more songs, Mandie wrapped it up with the Fushigi Yuugi theme song. Duo jumped up and then insisted that they put the fire out and splayed Spin The Bottle. They did, and well, the combinations were uncanny.

It was finally time for them to leave. They re-packed their stuff and started heading out. Everyone stopped to give #30 a hug as she stood outside the door. After the last group had filed out, she waved to them all. She hopped up and down with a big smile and continued waving. Her smile then dropped and formed a small smirk. "Good-bye. Farewell. And be prepared, to come back again, for we will have a Halloween crossover, and some new guests." She walked inside and stood in the doorway. Her ears pointed and she grew black wings. She opened her mouth and her teeth grew to fangs. Blood now dripped from the fangs and the door creaked shut, but not drowning out the evil laughter. All the lights went out, except for the attic, which showed the shadowed figure of a Vampire. That flickered out, and here, this fic ends.
