Chibimaker, chapter 5
I only own Mariko. Alec is the offspring of one of my characters and one
of my friend's characters. Xilun belongs to my friend. All the other
characters used are owned by Capcom. Standard disclaimers apply.
Mariko was talking on the phone with her boyfriend.
"Hey Alec, I'm coming to New York." She said.
"That's great!" he responded, "I missed you."
"Likewise babe, hey, I figure we should do something while I'm there."
"Chinatown?"
"You know me so well."
"Of course." Mariko heard someone giggling in the background. "Is Xilun
over?" she asked.
"Yes. He says he missed you too."
"There's nothing going on between you, is there?"
"Of course not, I thought you trusted me. I'm gonna cry now."
"No, you're not."
"You're right. Anyway, Xilun has someone now."
"I know. He told me about him via the internet. Oh, Ken Masters and Dan
Hibiki are coming along. Ken is paying for the trip."
"Cool, Ken is a hottie."
"Aren't you supposed to be my boyfriend?"
"Oh come on, you would check him out too. I don't get jealous when you
draw those bishounen guys."
"I thought you liked to look at my drawings."
"Of course, so what are you wearing?"
"All black as usual. What are you wearing?"
"Clothing and Xi is wearing a dress." Mariko heard Xilun shout "I am not."
She found this highly amusing. She chuckled.
"Isn't this a rather expensive phone call?" Alec asked.
"Yeah, but 'tis okay. I'm using Ken's phone. He's rather loaded."
"What made you decide to come, anyway?"
"My love for you?"
"Come on, be serious. What's having Ken Masters paying for your trip?"
"I need to get my Book of Shadows. He, Dan and a bunch of other Street
fighters have been turned chibi. I think I'll need to do a reversal spell
or something."
"We meet at your place?"
"Sure, be there tomorrow morning. Call others and see who else can some to
our little gathering."
"Of course"
"You say that a lot."
"Of course"
"I'm gonna hang up now. Bye."
"Until next time, love." Mariko handed the cel phone back to chibi-Ken.
"My boyfriend thinks you're a hottie." Mariko said to Chibi-Ken, who
blushed cutely as a response.
"Well, I am pretty." Chibi-Ken said.
"And so modest, too" Chibi-Dan said dryly.
"You're just jealous."
"Yeah Blondie, that's it exactly."
"Come on now, you're both cute little chibi men at the moment." Mariko
said.
"Shouldn't you call your parents?" Chibi-Ken asked.
"Nah" Mariko said, "They won't mind if we just barge in, especially since
you're both harmless little chibis."
"We're not harmless."
"Yeah, sure."
"We're not, and I think it's better if you warn your parents."
"Fine." She used Chibi-Ken's phone and called her parents, "Yeah, I'll be
in New York in many hours. Bye."
"Now we can get on the plane."
The plane ride was rather uneventful; once the chibis were able reach
their seats. Mariko amused herself with drawing pictures. Chibi-Ken
glanced at her drawing.
"She's pretty." He said.
"That's a guy." Chibi-Dan commented.
"How would you know? You're not even looking."
"Because most of her drawings are of guys, especially the pretty ones,
even if they wear dresses."
Chibi-Ken giggled. Mariko smirked.
"But this one has boobs!" Chibi-Ken said. The enlarged eyes of Chibi-Dan
became even larger.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yup."
"This particular drawing is of a female." Mariko said. Chibi-Ken grinned.
"Do you have any drawings of chibis?" he asked, "If so, can I see?"
"Sure. I made Dan cry when I showed him the chibi pictures." Chibi-Dan
pouted cutely and stuck his tongue out at both of them. Mariko showed more
pictures to Chibi-Ken.
"Dan, you're so cute!" he shrieked as Mariko showed him the picture of
Chibi-Dan holding a teddy bear and a lollipop. She also showed a sketch of
Chibi-Dan and Chibi-Blanka sleeping.
"Awwww", Chibi-Ken said, "Draw me! I'll pay you."
"Sure," Mariko said, "Shall I draw you as a chibi or shall I draw a sexy
version of you?"
"A sexy chibi?" Chibi-Dan asked. Both Chibi-Ken and Mariko laughed at the
absurdity of the idea. Soon Chibi-Dan also started to giggle.
"Draw me chibi!" Chibi-Ken said.
"Sure." Mariko responded. She drew a picture of him, which of course
looked adorable. Chibi-Ken smiled cutely and gave her five dollars. She
gratefully accepted and gave him the drawing.
"That's all you're paying her?" Chibi-Dan asked.
"Five dollars is plenty." Mariko said, "I can buy a bootleg anime tape for
that."
"Okay."
"And Ken is paying for the trip." She drew another picture of Ken, and
then showed it to Chibi-Dan.
"A sexy picture, nice" Chibi-Dan remarked.
"Great!" Mariko said as she gave the piece of paper to Chibi-Ken, "Here's
a bonus picture."
Chibi-Ken looked at Chibi-Dan oddly.
"Dan, I'm flattered but you know I'm married now." He said.
"I don't like you that way." Chibi-Dan said, annoyed. The others laughed.
Apparently, they found a common interest of teasing Chibi-Dan, much to his
distaste. He glared at the chibi author, who also enjoyed pestering him.
"Why are you so mean to me?" Chibi-Dan asked.
"It's fun." The chibi author answered.
"You're so cruel."
"I tend to be mean to the characters I like."
"This fourth wall thing is getting old."
"I am aware of that."
"This has got to be the most pointless chapter you've ever written."
"Wait until the next chapter."
"Judging by your rate of updating, this will be a long wait. You should
have gotten us to New York City a really long time ago."
"You've arrived."
"Yay, we're here!" Mariko said. A decent span of time later they arrived
at her home. It was late at night.
"Hi Steve." She said to the middle-aged man inside, "Where's Mei?"
"Your mom's asleep." Steve said, "Wow, they really are chibi."
"Can they stay for the night? I need to figure out how to get them back to
being non-chibi."
"I'll pay you" Chibi-Ken said.
"Thanks, Steve." Mariko said, while hugging him.
"I'm going to bed now. I think you and your friends should rest too. We'll
talk in the morning. I'm sure Mei will be glad to see you."
"Okay, good night." Mariko said. "Isn't my dad cool?" She added once he
left.
"You call your parents by their given names?" Chibi-Dan asked.
"Yes" Mariko responded.
"No wonder you're so casual with everyone."
"I think we should listen to my dad."
"That was an awkward way to end the chapter." Chibi-Dan said to the chibi
author.
