Episode 2: "Curiouser and Curiouser"

Obligatory Disclaimer: The characters of "Shoujo Kakumei Utena" belong to Saito Chiho, Be-Pa-Pas, etc.

Opening Theme: Rinbu Revolution

Scene: Sarah and Samantha are driving to the former's OCS league.

Sarah: So, any ideas as to why we have bizarre anime characters roaming the halls of Roosevelt?

Samantha: Not a clue. But things just keep getting stranger and stranger. Any merchandise I had with Utena on it is completely blank, CD's included. I started to go online last night, y'know inform the "Utena community" of what was going on, but...

Sarah: But what?

Samantha: There is no community anymore. No websites, image galleries, etc. I posted our dilemma on a few Sailormoon boards, but nobody knew what I was talking about. It was like it never existed.

Sarah: We still remember it, though. I wonder why.

Samantha: Probably because I'm totally obsessed with it is why I haven't "forgotten". You may have a harder time since you don't watch it as often. Forgetting about Akio is a very bad thing. [shudders]
Sarah: [nods in agreement] Mm-hm. I guess we'll just have to avoid him until we figure something out.

Samantha: Easier said than done. After all, this is Akio we're talking about.
Scene: AMF Wonder Bowl. Sarah is close to finishing her third game while Samantha sits nearby to lend encouragement.

Sarah: [comes walking up] Geez, Josie is so annoying lately.

Samantha: What did she do this time?

Sarah: Oh, not much. Being Josie, that's all.

Samantha: [laughs] Hey, it's better than being at school with that...*ahem* "principal" of ours.

Akio: [taps her on the shoulder] Did I hear my name mentioned?

Sarah and Samantha: [both turn around quickly and "Eep!" loudly]

Sarah: Damn it, don't sneak up on a person like that!

Samantha: [annoyed] What the hell are you doing here, any-- oh wait, you're Akio.

Akio: [feigning innocence] I'm wounded, you make it sound as though I have some ulterior motive.

Sarah: [sarcastically] Like you don't.

Samantha: [metaphoric lightbulb goes off] Say...you wanna bug someone, Akio? Why don't you try that girl with the short brown hair and glasses over there? I hear she wanted to see "The Ends of the World".

Akio: [interested] Did she now? How intriguing. [leaves]

Sarah: That was really sneaky. I like it.

Samantha: Thanks. That's what Josie gets for..um, being her, I guess.

Josie: [walks up with Akio]: Say, Sarah, could you collect the recap sheets for me? Akio here wants to take me for a drive.

Sarah: [trying to keep a straight face] Hehe, sure thing, Josie...

Akio: [whispers in Samantha's ear] I take it you'll be going for a ride later, then.

Samantha: [alarmed] No, I most certainly will not!

Josie: Will not what, Sami?

Akio: Yes, will not what?

Samantha: [nervously] Nothing, not a thing! [sweatdrop]

Sarah: [stifling a laugh] Have fun, you two. [Akio and Josie finally leave and Sarah collapses in a fit of laughter]

Samantha: [miserably] This really bites.

Sarah: Just what did Akio ask you, anyway?

Samantha: Oh, just trying to get me to go for a ride in the Akio-Car. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have let on about my knowledge of him.

Sarah: Something's occurred to me. Since we're in high school, why are Utena, Anthy, Miki, etc. attending, too? They're all in lower grades.

Samantha: Right, you are. I guess that's the magic of Akio. You never know what he'll do next.

Sarah: ...or who for that matter.

Samantha: [gives a half-hearted laugh] Yeah, but it's still all so very troubling. What will become of us eventually? In the series, no one who attended Ohtori ever grew up.

Sarah: A state of perpetual youth with no end in sight. It's sickening.

Scene: Monday morning at Roosevelt. Samantha and Edith are sitting on a bench chatting idly about the weekend.

Edith: [concerned] Sami? Are you okay? You look beat.

Samantha: [groggily] Yeah, I haven't slept well at all this past weekend. Something keeps disrupting my relatively quiet sleep patterns.

Edith: [slyly] Might it be about a guy, perhaps?

Samantha: Ick...s'pose so...but I'd rather not talk about it. If you want to know, ask Sarah. She may be having the same problem as me.

Sarah: [walks up angrily] You're damn right I am! I swear, I am going to kill him if he does this again!

Samantha: Uh-oh, what happened? Were you deprived of your beauty sleep as well?

Sarah: [sits down] No. The other day, when Sam and I were talking, I thought for a second that I was talking to...him. Sam's face just sort of changed for a brief moment.

Edith: Who is this "him" person?

Samantha: [oblivious] That bastard...

Edith: For the last time, who?!

Samantha: [coughs] Well, it's probably best if we didn't say. I don't want you mixed up in our troubles, too, Edith.

Akio: My students are troubled? Why whatever about?

Sarah: [quickly] Gee, and I was just leaving. See ya, Sami! [dashes off]

Samantha: [shouting] Come back here, you traitor!

Akio: [puts arm around Samantha's shoulders] Now, what seems to be the matter?

Samantha: [coldly] Don't touch me. Come on, Edith. [the two girls get up and leave]

Edith: [dazed] Err...what was that?

Samantha: That was the problem I was speaking of.

Edith: The principal? Righhht...

Samantha: It's okay if you don't believe me, I wouldn't be surprised if they threw me in the crazy house right about now.

Scene: Hallway. Samantha has been sent to run an errand for one of her teachers, but takes one of the corners a bit too sharply and runs into someone, causing her to fall to the ground.

Samantha: Ouch! Damn...that really hurt. [rubs her ankle]

Akio: Ah, so we meet again, Samantha. Fate seems to have brought us together once more.

Samantha: [sarcastically] Fate? Is that what you're calling yourself these days? [begins to stand up, her ankle is sprained badly so she ends up right back on the floor] Oh, this is just perfect.

Akio: [extends his hand to her] Come on, I've got something in my office I can bandage up that ankle with.

Samantha: [stands up with his help] Thanks just the same, but I think I'll hobble over to the nurse's office.

Akio: Actually, she's at lunch at the moment.

Samantha: [flatly] My, how utterly convenient.

Akio: That ankle won't take long to bandage. How about it?

Samantha: [sigh] Fine, I might as well. It's a lot easier than having to hop on one foot for the rest of the day. **This better not be "No Tell Motel" all over again.**

Scene: Akio's office. The two white leather chairs have since been replaced with a couch of the same color and material. There are also several maps of the constellations hanging upon the wall.

Akio: [finishes bandaging Samantha's ankle] Let me ask you something: How do you know about Kanae as well as me?

Samantha: That, unfortunately, will have to remain my little secret for now, Akio.

Akio: [puts his face close to hers] Well, who else knows about this "secret"?

Samantha: Just one other person, but I'm not about to tell you who. I know what you're capable of.

Akio: Really? I don't thing you have any idea...

Samantha: [warily attempts to get up, but Akio doesn't let her] *ahem* I do have to return to class sometime this century.

Akio: Now why would you want to do that? After all, you have all the time in the world...to attend class.

Samantha: [angrily] I refuse to succumb to your perverse little mind games, Akio! [leaves quickly]

Akio: **It appears she may be more difficult than the others. Not for long, though.**

Preview of Next Episode
Sarah: Well, it looks like Akio's been up to no good...again.

Samantha: Besides the obvious reasons, how can you tell?

Sarah: You mean you haven't noticed that half the female population of Roosevelt has bandaged left ankles?

Samantha: No, I hadn't, but that doesn't necessarily mean--

Sarah: Say, are you limping?

Samantha: Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena: "Seitokai Revisited!"

Sarah: Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku.
