Authoress' notes: This fanfic/parody was started by me about two years ago. Needless to say, I never finished it. I got rather distracted with the other things that were going on in my life. I hope to finish this soon though, now that I have the time and reason to do it! ^_^ I love ReBoot, I love SailorMoon. I read somewhere a parody in which the Scouts had gone to Mainframe, so I thought, what if the Mainframers came to the world of the Scouts.... so I started to created this. It's weird... and I'm not too good with technical jargon, so don't mind me if I'm totally way off on any of this, it's just me pretending to know stuff that I don't (and it's quite fun and empowering, too! :) ) And recently I've just discovered that the wonderful makers of ReBoot are coming up with a new season to be aired in Canada this fall!!!!!!! Hey, anybody from Canada wanna tape it and send me some tapes? I'd be much obliged!!! ^_^ (of course I pay for shipping and handling and blank tape costs and all that!) Whew... back to the topic at hand: Please read and enjoy part two out of ? parts of my Reboot/SailorMoon crossover fanfic :) and now on to the disclaimer:
Disclaimer: I, Callisto, own none of the characters in this fanfiction. Everything, besides the most of the plot, is to be credited to the wonderful makers of ReBoot and SailorMoon. I love you guys!! And please don't try to sue me, unless you wanna pay your lawyers to receive all that I have, which is basically a penny. College students really don't have much to offer, and neither do their parents ^_~ so it would be rather pointless anyway...
Now, on to the story!
Two
"Serena! Serena! Wake up you lazy head!"
"No Darien, let me sleep," the sleeping meatball head mumbled.
"Darien? Come on, wake up! Mom's made blueberry pancakes for us today and we're going to eat them without you if you don't get up!"
At the sound of pancakes, sleeping Serena rolled over and opened her eyes dreamily, "Oh you didn't have to do that Dar- AHHHHHH!," she yelped when she saw her sandy-haired brother looking at her. She recovered quickly from her fright, "Sammy~ Why did you wake me up?" she asked annoyed in her high pitched voice.
Sammy took a step back and put his arm behind his head, "Well, gees, Serena, you'd want to sleep all through your birthday?"
"What? No I don't~ Hold those pancakes for me! I'll be right down!"
"Ok!"
Serena quickly dressed into a cotton jumper and ran downstairs to eat those "yummy" pancakes.
"Happy Birthday, darling," Serena's mother said proudly.
"Mmm, fewh wyon," was all Serena could get out since she had already stuffed two pancakes in her mouth.
"Hey, would you like to open your presents now, or later," her dad asked rather impatiently.
Happily, Serena exclaimed, "What? You're actually giving me a choice about presents? Well, of course I'd like to open them now!"
"Great! I'll be right back," her dad left the room and came back a minute later with a cart full of small presents and one big present. He handed her a medium sized package. After ripping it open, Serena revealed a- "Speaker? What's this for?"
"You'll see," was all she got out of her parents.
After opening all of the small presents (which included a mouse, mouse pad, and various CD programs) Serena still could not guess what was in the big box.
"Is is a stereo? a bowling ball? TV?"
Her parents shook their head no, almost on the verge of sweatdropping.
"Oh, a beautiful inlaid chest? No, that's not it..." her eyes ran over her pile of presents and saw the mouse, "OH, I know, my very own pet mouse! right?"
"Oh, Serena, just open it already," her father urged.
Sammy leaned over and whispered to his mom, "You think that actually giving it to her was a smart idea?"
"Shush, Sammy," his mom scolded back.
Silence.
"A computer?" was all Serena could say.
"Why yes. You can use it for school work and other things. It's a quite useful tool."
"But a computer?"
Sammy whispered to his mom again, "See?"
"You'll be able to do your homework on it, and we figured you could use that extra phone line in your room for the internet. You could get help on your homework with it," her mother looked hopeful.
"Here, let's take it up to your room right now," her father attempted to lift the computer. He strained and pulled and yet couldn't lift it.
Annoyed, her mom went over and pushed him away, "Here, let me try," she effortlessly picked the box up and watched dad's mouth drop to the floor, "What? I don't eat power bars for nothing, you know!"
^Upstairs in Serena's bedroom 2 hours later^
"Well, I don't know how to get this stupid thing running," her dad said, "the lady at the store said that all we had to do was follow the directions. Well, I did! I give up!"
"Daddy, you can't give up!" Serena whined.
"Well, I've got other work to do for your party tonight. Why don't you get your genius friend, Amy, I think her name is..."
"What good father you are! You don't even know my friends' names!"
"Well, excuse me," her father huffed and walked out of the room.
Serena looked at the door, "waaaaaaah!" she cried.
"Oh, Serena, stop your blubbering," a voice scolded.
She looked over at her black cat, "But Luna!" she whined even more, "I want the internet! I want a computer! I want to do my homework!... wait! No I don't! Who's putting words in my mouth?"
A feminine voice (sounding somewhat like Zoicite's) booms from up above, "Hehe, sorry about that. Just seeing if you'd catch on to it or not."
"That is sooo, out of character," Serena looked confused, "Hey, you're not the original writer... how many of you people are there writing this junk anyway?"
Silence.
"Are you listening to me?"
More silence.
"Hello? Writer, are you out there?"
"Yes, hold on, I'm counting... Oh, nevermind. Now, start following the script before something bad happens!"
"Sheesh, you don't have to get angry. So, what do I do now?"
"Call Amy of course!"
"Why?"
(Writer is now pulling out her hair in frustration)
"To get your stinkin' computer online and create the stinkin' plot devi- oops. Just call her and get your computer up and running!"
"Ok, my gosh," Serena picked up the phone and started dialing, "Hello, Amy?... Can you come over?... I need help setting up my computer... Great! See you in a bit!" She hung up the phone and looked up at the ceiling, "You happy now?"
Silence.
"Ok, don't talk to me!"
"Serena, writers can only intervene when they want to. Leave this one be (whispering) we don't know how weird this story will turn out wither her. How sane do you think she is anyway?" Luna warned.
A low chuckle from the writer sounded in the room...
^two hours later^ (I like doing things in increments of two, so sue me!)
"There you go Serena, you're all hooked up and online," Amy exclaimed to her hyena friend. Serena, who was reading comic books (as always).
"Great! Thanks Amy!" Serena ran up and pushed off the computer chair and stared blankly at the screen, "Ahh, Amy, help!"
From down on the floor, Amy sat up, "Here Serena, scroll down here down to the bottom of the page."
"Scroll?"
Amy sweatdropped.
After clicking a few buttons, Amy explained to Serena how to use a search engine.
"May I use your bathroom?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, it's just down the hall. I'm gonna see what I can find on here."
""Ok, I'll be back in a flash."
Amy went to the bathroom and Serena started clicking in stuff on her computer. She went into a website where a list of good and bad programs were listed. Serena read down the list, "Hmm... this sounds cool... I wonder what that's about..." she clicked on it. warning, plot device She clicked on many other buttons as well, not knowing what the heck she was doing, and before she knew it she had hacked her way into another computer and had started to download the mainframe system into her own computer. It was just then that the owner of the computer decided to play a game... (hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink).
^Mainframe^
WARNING INCOMING GAME
"Uh, oh! I gotta get into that game!"
"I'm with you Bob!"
"Me, too!"
"And me!"
^back in Serena's room^
"Serena, have you found anything interesting?" Amy came back.
"Yeah, it's some program and I'm ah... what's the word? You know, when you put something in your computer..."
Amy sweatdropped once again, "You mean download?"
"Yeah, that's it!"
"From where did you download?"
Serena pointed to the screen, "here."
Amy looked at the screen and I swear that you could hear the gears turning in her head. She tried to keep herself calm, "Serena! What did you do? You hacked yourself into someone's computer and are stealing their information! I've got to stop this!"
Will Amy stop the transaction in time? Will all hell break loose when Serena's parents find out what she did within the first 10 minutes of owning her comp? And whatever happened to those ReBooters? heh heh heh.
