Author's Note:
Psycho Rikku: Okay, sorry this is taking so long, but I started writing the second chapter, got about 1/4 of the way through, decided I hated it, deleted it, and started alll over again. I'll still try to be nicer to Dart though.. I think I went a little bit overboard in the first chapter. ^_^;
Dart: A little?! You killed me, you stole my Dragoon Spirit, gave it to that bastard over there, *points at Lloyd* AND you tried to burn my body instead of reviving me!
Psycho: How'd you find out about us trying to burn your body?! Nevermind... Anyways, I own nothing, and I'm not making any money off of this. The only thing I own is Vac, my vicious attack cat from the deepest parts of hell.
Dragoons: O_O;;
Psycho: Well, he is! Oh, and there's a special guest in this chapter.. some people probably won't know who he is, so there's some random notes/explanations at the end. I don't own the special guest either. T_T And thanks for all the reviews! ^__^ Responses to the reviews are at the very end, I don't wanna bother everybody who just wants to read the fic and not all the review responses.

Once again, anything in between //these things\\ are thoughts and anything in italics is the narrator either a) being a smartass or b) actually doing his job and narrating. Anything like ~this~ is whispering. (It WAS supposed to be really small, but will FF.N let me do that? Noooo.

Adventures in SFPAE

Chapter Two: A Death, a Guest, and a Plan!

It's another "normal" (as normal as this place can be, anyways) day in Dragoon Mansion of SFPAE. Shana is clinging to Dart, whining and being generally annoying, and Dart is trying to be nice to Shana while also trying to not be strangled and/or squeezed to death.
Shana: I'm not annoying! T__T Am I, Dart?
Dart: Umm.. no?
Shana: Yay! ^__^ *clings to Dart more*
Dart: Can't.. breathe.. x.x
Poor Dart. I'd help him, but I found this.. *pulls out Narrator Conduct Code Book and reads* "Rule #53490: All third-person narrators are prohibited from intervening. No exceptions." HAH! Now no one can yell at me to help again!
Dart: Thanks, pal. -_- Of course. No one ever cares if the MAIN CHARACTER dies.
Shana: I'd care, Dart! ^_^
Dart: -_-; No one besides the MAIN FEMALE CHARACTER, of course.
Lloyd: I'd care! Then I could keep the Dragoon Spirit without you whining and moping!
Dart: I don't "whine" or "mope," thank you! *mutters* These Winglies..
Lenus and Meru: HEY!
Dart: *rephrases* These MALE Winglies that think they're so cool because they can fly and use magic! Then they go running around with a badass sword while all I get stuck with is a whole bunch of swords that all look the same! Do you know how many different swords I had?! A lot! And they all looked exactly the same! How does that work?!
*sighs* Dart, there ARE people you can talk to. Such as: anyone besides me. Bye now! ^_^ //Note to self: Inform Psycho that Dart's about to start a one-man riot.\\

Haschel is eating (surprise, surprise. Somebody needs to tell that guy to stop eating so much, it's not healthy for someone THAT ol-
Haschel: HEY! I'm not old! Just.. youth challenged!
Whatever you say, old man.
Haschel: I dare you to come out here and say that to my face!
Yeah, whatever. Moving on now. Lavitz, Miranda (who's back to normal now), and Syuveil are trying to explain what the purpose of a TV is to Kongol, Rose has disappeared somewhere, and Damia, Meru, and Psycho Rikku are having yet another video game marathon while Lenus and Zieg watch. As usual, Meru's winning.
Psycho: This isn't fair! He's *points at Zieg* creeping me out and it's hard to concentrate!
Zieg: I didn't do anything!
Psycho: Not possessed by any insane Winglies that want to destroy the world?
Zieg: No.
Psycho: Are you SURE? 100%?!
Zieg: Uh-huh.
Psycho: Absolutely 100% posi-
Damia: He's not possessed! Quit harassing the poor, retired Dragoon!
Psycho: Fine. -_- You people are no fun.
Lenus: Your idea of "fun" worries most sane, normal people, Psycho.
Psycho: Not you too! T_T Hmph, fine, I'm gonna go raid the kitchen for anything that has sugar..
Meru: I'll go! I'll go!
Damia: I'm going too.. leaving you two unsupervised with sugar would be even worse than that time we let Kongol try to cook..
Psycho: *cringes at the memory* Nobody in the entire mansion could eat anything for days.. x.x
Meru: That was bad.. really bad..
Psycho: Yeah. x.x *pauses for a second* I hear the sugar talking! It's going "Meruuuuu! Psychooooo!" Let's go!
And Meru and Psycho make a mad dash for the kitchen, with Damia following them muttering about babysitting people her own age. I agree, Damia. ^_^;;

But, Meru and Psycho's sugar spree is gonna have to wait.. some idiot is pounding on the door.
Voice: HELP ME! She's really pissed this time! I'm gonna get 'sat' so bad I'll end the other side of the world [1]! Open the damn door! I'll tear it down if I have to!
Calm down!
Voice: Calm down?! You're not the one who's gonna end up on the other side of the world! OPEN THE DOOR, DAMMIT!
Psycho: Okay, okay! *opens the door* *blinks* Inuyasha?[2] Why are you pounding on the door screaming abo-
Inuyasha: No time to explain! *shoves Psycho out of the way, slams the door shut and locks it* Safe!
Psycho: Okaay.. NOW you can explain.
Inuyasha: I told Kagome that Kikyo would've had all the Shikon shards by now.. she said "But I'm not Kikyo! I'm Kagome!" Then I told her that was the point I was tryin' to make[3+4] and *looks out the window to make sure Super-Pissed Kagome isn't out there* she got really pissed and I'm gonna get "sat"[5] to the other side of the world this time!
Psycho: Wow.. that was.. really stupid. Even for you.
Inuyasha: Hey! >.Psycho: So you came here because..?
Inuyasha: I'm stayin' here 'till she calms down enough to not 'sit' me to death.
Psycho: -_-;; I thought so.
Meru: *sticks her head out of the kitchen door* Hey Psycho, you're missing out on the sug- *sees Inuyasha again* It's the doggy![6] ^_^
Inuyasha: Quit calling me a doggy!
Meru: Doggy! ^_^
Inuyasha: Feh. -_-[7]
Psycho: Fine, fine.. you can stay here, just don't get in anybody's way, and don't start any fights. And you can start by getting outta my way before Meru takes all the sugar! *runs past Inuyasha to the kitchen* MERU! If you got to that whole thing of chocolate before me I swea-
*Meru hides the chocolates*
Psycho: O_O You ate that whole thing in that little time?!
Meru: Yep! ^_^
Psycho: I'm so proud! You're learning, you really are!
Damia: *is trying to stay sane by eating an apple* Don't eat too much or you'll get sick..
Psycho: Okay, Mommy! ^_^
Damia: -_-; I'm not your mother, I'm your babysitter
Psycho: O_O Wow. That was the meanest thing I've ever heard Damia say..
Inuyasha walks in and starts going through the cupboards.
Inuyasha: Where the hell do you people keep your ramen?![8] I want FOOD!
Psycho: Um.. uh.. we kinda.. don't have any..
Inuyasha: WHAT?! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE ANY RAMEN!? How do you people live like that?!
Meru: It's called sugar! Try some, Doggy! ^_^
Inuyasha: Quit calling me Doggy! -_-; We're going SHOPPING! .. But I'm going in a disguise. Pissed-off reincarnations are scary.
Doggy Doggy Doggy! .. Sorry about that. I'm going to escape now.

Meanwhile, in the living room...
Dart: I'VE HAD ENOUGH ABUSE AND I'M ON STRIKE!
Oops. Forgot to warn Psycho about that. Oh well.
Shana: Dart.. don't you think this is a little much?
Dart: No! I realized how mistreated I am! I won't take it anymore!
Lloyd: *snickering* It would help if the writer of the fic was even HERE..
Dart: *blinks* //He DOES have a point..\\ I'm warming up for when she gets here, that's all!
Lloyd: Right. I believe you. *snickers*
Dart: Why do I think you're lying when you say that?
Lloyd: *shakes his head* Just go back to your rioting, or protesting, or striking, or whatever it is you're trying to do..
Dart: Okay. RIOT!!
Lloyd: -_-;;
Dart, you do realize that this won't help much, don't you?
Dart: I WON'T TAKE ANYMORE! IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE! *marches out angrily to look for Psycho Rikku*
Shana: Daaaart! Wait for me!! *follows him*
Yeah. He's lost it. Not even Shana can stop him now.

Back to the kitchen, Meru, Inuyasha, and Psycho are sitting around the table making a very detailed plan for Inuyasha's disguise and the shopping trip. Damia is cleaning up the mess Inuyasha made raiding the cupboards for ramen, and occasionally pointing out something in their plan that isn't ever gonna work, even in SFPAE. Dart marches in the room waving a sign that says "STRYKE! NO MORE UNFARE TRETMEANT 4 DART!" (Dart can't spell, apparently. ^_^;), with Shana following him.
Psycho: *looks at Dart and blinks* *tries to read the sign* Dart.. what is this about?
Dart: Let me think.. you let me bleed to death, STOLE my Dragoon Spirit, gave it to that Wingly-
Meru: Hey! Not all of us are that bad!
Dart: Okay, okay, sorry. But then I realized even in Legend of Dragoon I was mistreated! It's not fair! I WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Shana: *whines* Daaaaart.. just forget it already, it's not that ba-
Inuyasha: *clutches ears* It's an evil whining demon! DIE! SANKON TESUSOU![9] *cuts Shana into many, many peices with his claws*
Everyone looks back and forth from Inuyasha to Shana's body. Psycho looks like she's about to pass out from joy.
Dart: SHANA! NO!
Inuyasha: ... You mean she wasn't an evil whining demon?
Dart: NO!
He has the whining part right..
Psycho: You.. killed Shana.. YOU KILLED SHANA!
Inuyasha: Was that bad?
Psycho: NO!! Not at all! I was planning to again anyways! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! ^__^
Dart: YES it was bad! Shana.. T__T SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!
Psycho: Quit crying.. she died before, remember? She keeps coming back. It's like some kind of cruel curse that won't go away..
Shana's remains have disappeared. O_O Psycho's right, it IS some kind of curse! SOMEONE'S CURSING DRAGOON MANSION!
Dart: Shana is NOT a curse! IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT YOU PEOPLE HAVE TINY BIT OF RESPECT FOR THE DEAD?! *drops his sign and leaves the room*
*long silence*
Meru: So... Back to planning our shopping trip?
*Inuyasha and Psycho nod slowly and sit back down at the table*
Damia: *sighs* Nothing stops you three, does it?
Inuyasha, Meru, Psycho: *in unison* Nope!
Damia: .. I didn't think so.
Neither did I, Damia. Neither did I.

In the rec. room, Lavitz, Miranda, and Syuveil have managed to teach Kongol the value of a working TV set. Yes, it took them this long.
Kongol: Powerpuff Girls on. Kongol like Powerpuff Girls. Kongol want to adopt as the three little daughters he never had. *wipes a tear from his eye* *starts trying to sing* Fighting crime. Trying to save world. Here they come just in time. Pow-er-puff girls. Powerpuff! ^_^
Lavitz, Miranda, Syuveil: o_O;; *go into another corner and start whispering to each other
Lavitz: ~I think this was a bad idea. No, I'm positive it was a bad idea.~
Miranda: ~No, do you think?! Now what do we do!? He's over there stealing the TV to watch those little BRATS-~
Syuveil: ~It's a little too late to fix our mistake. We just have to wait untill he gets sick of watching it..~
The trio looks back out our.. uh, "favorite" Giganto. He's watching the Powerpuff Girls kick the crap out of some random enemy, clapping his hands and giggling like a 3-year-old girl.
Syuveil: ~Of course, maybe it would be a better idea to get a new TV..~
Lavitz: ~*is still disturbed by Kongol's clapping and giggling* I agree.. but that's really disturbing right there..~
Miranda: ~You're damn right it is.. I always knew there was something weird about the guy, but I never thought he was so screwed up in the head..~
Kongol: Why Kongol's friends not watching Powerpuff Girls with Kongol? Kongol sad. Kongol go corner and cry like fun water toy in kitchen. T_T
Syuveil: "Fun water toy..?" Kongol, that's not a toy. That's a "sink" and a "faucet."
Kongol: *sobbing* WHY FRIEND SYUVEIL NOT LET KONGOL HAVE HAPPINESS?! Why everyone hate Giganto?! Why!?
Miranda: You had to make the huge baby cry, didn't you Syuveil?!
Lavitz: It's a toy, Kongol! It's a toy!
Kongol: *stops crying* REALLY?! Kongol go play! ^_^
Kongol runs out of the room and towards the kitchen. Anyone who doesn't know what's going on thinks that the mansion's caving in. Suddenly, a crash and a "OH SHIT! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!? PSYCHO, YOU CRAZY BITCH! WHAT KIND OF FREAKS ARE YOU KEEPIN' IN THIS PLACE!?" can be heard, followed by "Kongol not freak! Kongol GIGANTO!"
Lavitz, Miranda, and Syuveil all stare at each other in horror.
Lavitz: Do we really.. want to go see what he did?
Miranda: No way. Leave it to Psycho or whoever that was screaming.
This is getting dangerous now.. time to end this chapter. Quickly now, Psycho.

To be continued..

Notes/Explanations about the guest character (This has some Inuyasha spoilers, but only for the first few episodes so it's nothing too bad):
[1] - Can anyone else guess who this is by now?
[2] - Inuyasha is the main character from the anime series 'Inuyasha'
[3] - Kagome is the main female character in the series. She's the reincarnation of Kikyo (a really powerful priestess), and in the first few episodes Inuyasha's always comparing her to Kikyo. Got it? Good.
[4] - In the series, Inuyasha, Kagome, & co. are always looking for Shikon jewel shards, which can make evil demons all powerful and stuff. That bad. They find the shards and keep them away from the baddies. That good.
[5] - Inuyasha has a rosary around his neck, whenever Kagome says 'sit!' he goes face first into the ground. Hard. (Ow!)
[6] - Inuyasha's half-dog demon, half-human, and he has little white doggy ears.
[7] - "Feh" is Inuyasha's little expression of annoyance. (like "hmph" or "bah")
[8] - Can we guess what Inuyasha's favorite food is?
[9] - 'Sankon Tesusou' is Inuyasha's attack with his claws.. It means "Soul Shattering Iron Claw."
And that concludes Psycho Rikku's Anime Lesson of the Day. ^_^;
