PART TWO: THE FINDING OF THE PLOT . . . OR NOT. *Kristen is tied to a chair in the middle of a completely white room. Elaborate straps and buckles are holding her in place and her head is held in place looking forward. She is laughing uncontrollably. The view shifts to in front of her, where we see the beginning of episode 12 of Trigun. * Midvalley: Have you had enough, or are you still not talking? Kristen: *gasping* Can't . . . talk! Laughing . . . too hard . . . deadly . . . dodge ball head! *breaks into another bout of hysterical laughter* Midvalley: Well, you'll talk soon enough . . . *walks out of the room* Kristen: *instantly serious* Ha! He thinks I still find that funny after reviewing it about 200 times in the last hour? The fool! I was only using that time to escape! *stands up, completely free of all the straps* Hwahahahahahah! It'll take more than that to stop the Great Catgirl Houdini! *rushes out of the room*

[Secret Basement of the ADHQ] Legato: Master, our prisoner has escaped. Knives: *looks up from his magazine* Well then go catch her! I have better things to do then associate with you humans. Legato: Master, our prisoner was no human. I have never seen a human with cat ears and a tail. Knives: *annoyed* I was talking about you. Go away. Legato: Right away, master. *exits room* Knives: I need to find a more competent servant . . .

[ADHQ: Living room] *Scene: Kristen is curled up in her little alcove near the ceiling. Her kitty, Faye, is snuggled next to her in a postcard-perfect position. They are both sleeping peacefully when Legato storms in and grabs Kristen, unsettling Faye. * Faye: MROOOWER! *hisses and does a Scratch Attack (tm) on Legato* Legato: Owwwwwwww! Stupid cat . . . Kristen: BAKAAAAAAAA! *hisses and does a Bite Attack (tm) on Legato* Legato: Owwwwwwww! Stupid catgirl . . . *clonks Kristen on the head, knocking her out* Take that! *triumphant smile* Faye: *enraged at the fact that "her" person has been hurt* MRRRROOOOWWER! *does another, more painful Scratch Attack (tm) on Legato* Nya! Legato: You know what, cat? Faye: Mya? Legato: I hate you. *drags Kristen out of the room* Faye: Nyoia! *curls back up and goes back to sleep*

[Regular Basement of the ADHQ] Legato: *thinking* I have got to do something . . . I'm so depressed . . . I know! *singing out loud*I'm blue da ba dee . . . huh? Kristen: *wakes up* Oro? *looks at Legato* Did you just have a mental breakdown or something? Because I could have sworn I heard you singing . . . Legato: *blushes* Oh! I, ah, er, um, n-no! I wasn't singing! I-it was, uh, *looks around* The wall! Right, the wall! *nodnod* Kristen: Riiiight . . . Legato, have you ever considered getting psychiatric help? Legato: *evil glare* Oh shut up! *clonks her again* Kristen: I see . . . A light! Gavin, is that you? Give me back my flashlight! *is now unconscious* Legato: How did someone like her get to be the leader of this place?

[Secret Basement of the ADHQ] Knives: *reading a magazine* Hm, that's a nice one . . . Shiny coat . . . Long legs . . . Perfect colors . . . Green eyes . . . Really big green eyes . . . Maybe too big . . . No, I don't really like that one. Maybe this one . . . Big fangs?! That would help a lot in my "plans" . . . *Legato stomps in, looking ticked off, but instantly looks happier when he sees the magazine Knives is reading* Legato: Master, may I see? Knives: Eh? Yeah, just don't get in my line of vision. Legato: Thank you, Master. Knives: Whatever. *Legato walks over and sits down next to Knives, leaning over his shoulder to read the magazine but being careful not to touch him. This continues until both of their eyes go wide.* Knives: Eww, that one's ugly! Legato: Right, Master. Knives: Legato, do you agree with every thing I say? Legato: Yes, Master. Of course a lowly human such as myself should agree with everything a superior being such as you says. Knives: Oh. So if I said you were an idiot that doesn't deserve to even be in my services, you would . . . Legato: Agree, of course. That is what I myself had been thinking recently, Master. Knives: *looks at Legato oddly* Really? Tell me, Legato, do you have any ego whatsoever? Legato: Do you want me to have an ego, Master? Knives: Tell me if you do. I want you to tell me the truth. Legato: The truth is whatever you say, Master. Knives: No, I mean your individual opinion. Legato: Whatever you say it is, Master. Knives: No, I mean what you think. Legato: I think whatever you want me to think. Knives: Stop saying that. Legato: Yes, Master. Knives: WOULD YOU STOP IT ALREADY?! Legato: Yes, Master. Knives: STOP THAT! Legato: Yes, Knives-sama. Knives: *twitch* Kristen: *wakes up* Oro? The last thing I remember is Legato singing . . . and Gavin stealing my flashlight. *looks over to where Legato and Knives have gone back to reading their magazine* Oh, so that's what happened. Legato hit me so hard that now I'm hallucinating that he and Knives are reading "Cat Fancy." Pretty soon the little lizards in string bikinis are going to come back. Knives: Ooh! Legato, look at this article! Legato: "Massage in five minutes?" Maybe _we_ should try that, Master. Kristen: Odd, my hallucinations usually don't have sound . . .

[Zith's Not-So Secret Laboratory] *Molly walks in followed by Gavin. They are both looking sufficiently ticked off.* Molly: I swear, when I find her . . . *makes cutting motion across throat* Gavin: Boo-ya, you are REALLY overreacting here. Molly: I don't care! And don't call me Boo-ya. Gavin: Would you rather I called you Booyaka-chan? Molly: _NO_. Gavin: *disappointed* Oh. Well, aren't we supposed to be looking for Zith? Molly: Actually, it really doesn't matter. We really don't exist, so what we do has no effect on the real world. Gavin: Wha? Molly: Temporal reverse engineering. Gavin: *blank look* Oro? Molly: WHO TOLD YOU? Gavin: Wha? Are you okay? *Zith walks in* Zith: The monkey by the ice cream stand! Molly: And I'll bet that the walrus told you about the cornflakes! Zith: Yes, he did! Molly: And the penguins? Zith: Elementary penguins singing Hare Krishna, man you shoulda seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe! Molly: Were you sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come? Zith: Off course! Molly: But are the Awkward Rush & Mission Savers really just terrorists with legal backing? Zith: Only Ashley. The others are just following a weird plan set up by Vinny. Molly: Ah. *starts humming "I Am the Walrus"* Zith: o~/ I am the egg man/ They are the egg man/ I am the walrus! / Goo goo ga' joob! /~o Gavin: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?! Molly: We're being random. Duh. Gavin: Oh. Sorry, carry on. Zith: So, the aliens really did make McDonald's french fries crunchier? Molly: Well, the cat aliens went to McDonalds. The other aliens went to Burger King because they aren't as smart. Zith: Oh, I get it now! Molly: Really? Zith: Yes! It says . . . If you take calcium before bed, the absorption is best. No one fusses like Lizard. Molly: Wow! I was almost enlightened just imagining it! Gavin: Alright, this is just getting stupid. Zith: So what happened again? Molly: I gave him a nosebleed, but no 'friendship' developed. My calculations show something vital missing? Could it be 'poetry?' Zith: It must be, or else the ship wouldn't be able to fly right. Molly: Ah, I see. Gavin: *giving up* If we have any behavior that heats things up in the living room, I can't help but drag irons. It shines! It spins! It makes noise! Release it for the Beam Gun to scatter bullets. A shocking scene might play itself out right before us. *silence* What? Zith: No fair. That was weirder than anything I've came up with. I'm jealous. Molly: He direct quoted Liz. It doesn't count. Zith: Oh well. What did you come here for, any ways? Molly: Erm . . . I forgot. Zith: Oh. Did it have anything to do with the fact that Kristen is missing? Molly: Yeah, that was it. *beat* Hey, how did you know? Zith: *Grin* Surveillance cameras. Molly: When did you install those? Zith: Same day I installed the PA. Molly: Oh . . . So what's she doing now? Zith: I don't know. Molly: But you installed the cameras! Zith: I never said they were on, I just said they were installed. Gavin: So you don't know where she is? Zith: I never said that, either. I just said I didn't know what she was doing. Gavin: Stop being so confusing! Zith: I can't help it. Gavin: What do you mean, "You can't help it?!"? Molly: *Evil grin* Temporal Reverse Enginee- Gavin: STOP TALKING ABOUT TEMPORARY REVERSE BLOODY WHAT-SITING ALREADY! Zith: It's called Temporal Reverse Engineering. Gavin: AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!? Zith: No clue. But it's interfering with the metal in my body. Molly: Mmkay... can you just show us where Kristen is already? Zith: Oh, is that what you wanted? Molly and Gavin: YES! Zith: Ah . . . *walks over to a huge wall covered with television screens* Molly: How did we not notice that before? Gavin: *shrugs* Plot hole? Zith: Do you want to know where she is or not? Molly: Yes, we do. Zith: Are you sure? I don't think you'd like it . . . Molly: We're sure. Zith: Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. *Presses button labeled "^_^ 42"* *Camera shifts to the third screen from the right, where you see a room that seems to have anime themed wallpaper. On closer inspection, it's revealed to be many different pictures of anime and video game characters taped to the wall. Any ways, the ADHQ's resident weirdo fangirl is sitting in the middle of said room, playing with two Barbie dolls. Actually, it's a Barbie and a Ken. The Ken doll has the top of his head painted blue, and is wearing a mini Legato-style coat, spikes and all. The Barbie has a yellow piece of yarn sticking out of the back of her pants, and two felt triangles stuck in her hair. Kristen is happily talking in cute little voices, moving the dolls around as she does so. The basic plot, as far as the observers can tell, is that Barbie is attempting to glomp Ken, and Ken is refusing to cooperate. Kristen moves the Ken doll particularly violently, and the Barbie goes flying across the room. * *Back to the Lab* Molly: Dude . . . that was messed up. Zith: It's not over yet. *Camera shifts back to the screen. Kristen reaches up to the top of her dresser and picks out a Knives action figure. Knives stands in front of Ken, and is clearly angry with him. Ken walks away. Knives rushes over to where Barbie landed, then helps her up. Barbie glomps him. Through all of this, Kristen is happily moving the dolls around, talking in cute little voices. * *In the Lab* Molly: Alright, she is officially scaring me now. Gavin: That scares me, and I hang out with Karasu. Zith: I told you you didn't want to know.

Molly: Well, at least we know where she is. Gavin: Yeah . . . Let's go! Molly: Right! Bye, Zith! Have fun doing . . . whatever it is you do down here! Zith: Huh? Oh . . . Right! See ya later . . . maybe . . . probably not, though. *As the two humans and the Demon are talking, Kristen's extremely short attention span runs out. She puts down the Barbies and sets the Knives action figure back on the dresser. She then gets up and walks out of the room, heading towards the kitchen and the All-Mighty Sugar Demi God.*

[ADHQ: Kitchen] *Kristen is seen going crazy looking through the cupboards for her secret stash of Pixie Stix. As she can't seem to find them, the kitchen is getting torn apart.* Kristen: Nooo! My Pixie Stix! WHY MUST THE WORLD BE SO CRUUUEL? WHYYYYYY? *sob* *The camera shifts to the table next to her. The Pixie Stix are sitting on it. * Kristen: Where are they? Over here? *runs to a nearby cupboard and starts throwing things out of it* Over here? *Runs to the refrigerator. Items seen flying past the camera include a package of hotdogs, a carton of eggs, ketchup, and Kuroneko.* Kristen: No . . . No . . . No . . . Waitaminute! Kuroneko? *Looks over to where Kuroneko landed. The cat is sitting there, licking its leg.* Kuroneko: *looks up* Nya. Kristen: Oookay . . . *goes back to searching the refrigerator for her Pixie Stix* Kuroneko: Nya. *goes back to licking its leg* *Legato walks into the room, only to get hit in the face with another package of hot dogs. He looks at the hot dogs, then at the sugar-crazed fangirl. He sighs and picks up the hot dogs, walking toward the microwave. He never gets there, however, as said crazed fangirl runs up to him and glares.* Kristen: WHERE ARE MY PIXIE STIX?! I KNOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!! Legato: *glances to the table the sugar tubes are sitting on* No, I don't know where they are. Go away and leave me alone. Kristen: But I'm not hyper enough yet! Legato: Yes, you are. Kristen: Am not! Legato: Are. Kristen: Not! Legato: Listen, if I tell you where they are, will you leave me alone for the rest of the day? Kristen: Hmm . . . Maybe. Maybe not. Legato: Leave me alone and I'll tell you. Kristen: *thinks* Okay. Deal. Legato: Good girl. They're sitting on the table right next to you. *Kristen turns and sees the Pixie Stix. She quickly grabs them and runs off somewhere to eat them and be hyper. * Legato: Sometimes I don't understand that demon . . .
