DISCLAIMER: Same stuff different day... *still wishes for the ownage of Trigun*

Vash's jaw dropped. Literally. "GAH!! What do you mean?!"
"Just what we said," replied Beth. "We aren't from around here."
"What are you, aliens? Are you from one of the SEEDS ships? How the hell did you get here?!" Vash ranted on with questions for a while, finishing with, "Can I have more donuts?" He had eaten the whole dozen.
"Umm... I guess... " Jesse waved to the bartender. "More donuts here please!"
"Well, Tongari," started Nicole, using Wolfwood's nickname for Vash and smiling, "We're not aliens, we're human, no we are not from the SEEDS ships, and how we got here we don't know. We were at Meg's house watching Trigun-"
"What's Trigun?" Vash interrupted.
"Trigun is an anime show. You are the star, along with all the people you know. It starts when you meet that ugly bounty hunter, Loose Ruth, and the 'Insurance Girls,' as you call them, and ends with you bringing Knives home after the duel you had." This statement brought up a few new questions.
Amanda interrupted Vash's amazed jaw-drop, "Whatever happened to Knives, Millie and Meryl anyway?"
Vash stood, disbelieving, for a bit before he shook himself out of it. He remembered the tickling episode. "Umm... well, Knives was injured, so I asked Millie and Meryl to take him back to the insurance company with them. I asked them to take away his gun so he can't use his Angel Arm, and to explain the stories of all the people he killed." He smiled wanly, "I think he's probably going to be in a mental institution for a while. What were you saying about 'Trigun'?" Beth stepped in and explained, "Like Nicole said, we were at Meg's house watching Trigun."
~~~ ~~~ FLASHBACK ~~~
~~~ The DVD played as everyone sat, enthralled in the battle of words between Vash and Legato. 'You think that just because you didn't pull the trigger personally, it isn't your fault. Your hands are clean.' 'I had no choice! I was forced to kill them!' The scene changed to a mountain. The men stood in the shadows.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we could go to Gunsmoke?" asked Megan. A chorus of "Dude," "Yeah," and "Man! That would be sweet!" echoed through the Trigun fans. At that moment, every single mind in the room thought, "I wish we could go to Gunsmoke and meet Vash the Stampede." On the screen, Vash held his gun to Legato's face. 'Kill me, Vash the Stampede.' BANG! And then...
