------Who Invited That Guy?------

After the chaos and new arrivals of the previous day, everything seemed to return to a state of normalness. That was that nothing really seemed to make very much sense and no matter how you looked at it there was still the small fact that most of these people weren't even supposed to know each other, much less live in the same building. That is beside the point however, because as it has already been stated, this is not reality and so normal rules don't actually apply to this bizzarely presented universe.

The morning schedule was simple. The martial artists, like Ranma and Ryoga, got up early to go outside for training before sunrise. Sasami and Yamato got up a little later to make breakfast for the household, or to attempt making breakfast before it was disasterously demolished by some unpredictable accident. For the most part everyone else just kind of gets up when they want to and come and go as they please, with the exception of Cloud who was supposed to keep watch over the front door [because you never know what strange guest is going to drop by next.] Squall was added to the guard unit for the simple reason that should some all powerful super villian stop by, the residents of the Fangirl's Paradise should not have to face certain destruction if there are a few well-armed and damnably powerful heroes around to protect the place. Or at least that was what Crystal had in mind.

Thanks to Duo's outburst to Wufei the previous day, there was still the small matter of convincing him that Quatre need not know about this place. That task would probably take some work, and it wasn't the kind of work that Crystal really looked forward to because it wasn't particularly chaotic and it was never very exciting either.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As Wufei stepped out of the room he had been given for his stay at the Fangirl's Paradise as it had come be known [well you try thinking of a better name for a mansion filled with bishies!] he noticed that while the place was huge and crowded, it seemed that for the most part everyone got along. He also made a mental note that everyone seemed to regard the pink corner of the living room as though it wasn't there or as though it was too scary to get close to, and that he should probably just stay away.

Duo came bounding down the stairs to greet him, "So, what do ya think? Pretty cool place, huh?"

Wufei shrugged, "I've only been here one night. I never would have guessed it was possible for such a place to exist."

"Would you like me to give you a tour of the place?" asked Duo hopefully.

"Come to think of it, I really don't know where anything is..." Wufei started and was dragged off by Duo before he could finish.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Squall sighed boredly at his post, "Does anything interesting ever happen here?"

"You mean like yesterday?" replied Cloud.

Squall shook his head, "I mean something exciting, not just a few guys who stick their feet in their mouths from time to time."

"Well, about once a week... something crazy always happens," replied Cloud reassuringly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Just outside of the glass sliding doors of the mansion's back side was a large swimming pool. Upon closer inspection it could be noted that there were several waterslides that seemed to connected to various upper levels of the mansion itself. One of the slides revealed its riders, Daisuke Motomiya and Chibimon.

Ken Ichijouji and Wormmon watched from the safety of the recliners by the side of the pool furthest from the mansion. From somewhere else in the vicinity of the backyard, Ranma Saotome was sent screaming through the air and into the pool.

"This wasn't here yesterday," mumbled Ranma-chan irritably at her sudden change in gender.

Daisuke grinned as he surfaced, "Of course not, I asked them to put it in yesterday."

"Let's go again!" exclaimed Chibimon.

Ranma sighed and crawled out of the pool before grabbing a randomly appearing towel and dried off before going inside to ask Yamato and Sasami for some hot water.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When Crystal finally emerged from her chamber upstairs, she found a rather perplexed looking Koushiro Izumi working frantically at one of the many computer terminals that was in the multi purpose computer room. All of the computers were actually displaying the same scene, but he only really needed to work with one.

"What seems to be the problem Koushiro?" asked Crystal.

Koushiro sighed, "Can you get any Chosen Children in the vicinity in here quickly... we've got a Diablomon infestation again and we could really use Omegamon."

Crystal nodded and set out to get a hold of Yamato, Daisuke and Ken. They were the only other Chosen Children that were registered as staying at the Fangirl's Paradise anyway.

*_*_*_*

Daisuke and V-mon were psyched to be doing some real Chosen Child work again. Ken and Wormmon just hoped they could be useful to the team. Once Yamato had been convinced that Sasami could handle the rest of the cooking on her own he made his way to the computer room with Gabumon. [Sasami could of course handle all the cooking if she had to, but Yamato's help made the process much faster.]

"So, we've got a case of Diablomon trynig to crash the Internet again, huh? Where's Taichi when we need him?!" Yamato seemed more than a little annoyed.

Koushiro shrugged, "He'll probably come back to list more reasons why you should get in on his scheme from yesterday."

"That isn't funny Koushiro," Yamato frowned. "Anyway, we have more important matters to deal with right now."

Within a matter of minutes Metal Garurumon and Imperialdramon were doing their best to deal with Diablomon just as he began his multiplication process. Things really weren't looking in their favor.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Once Ranma was a guy again he went out into the backyard again to locate his sparring partner, Ryoga. Ryoga was nowhere to be found, which meant that in short time Ranma had been gone, the poor boy had started on another world tour. Ranma sighed, "I guess I'll have to find another sparring partner..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was about this time that Duo concluded his extended tour of the workings and layout of the Fangirl's Paradise. Wufei merely smiled and nodded to Duo's explanations up until this point, but he really just wanted to get really far away from Duo before he really got tempted to break something. Duo really did love to talk, but at least now Wufei knew where the mobile suit parts were stored so he could get to work on Nataku. He bid farewell to Duo, with the hopes that Duo would disappear for the rest of the day, and stepped outside to set to work.

Duo waved him off and started down the hallway, "Since I've got nothing better to do for the day I guess I'll take a bath..."

As Duo walked down the hallway toward where the separate baths were located he noticed a familiar form lurking near the girls' bath. She shook his head and called out, "Hey Miroku, what do ya think you're doing this time?"

"Nothing really, I found him lurking about and I was trying to sneak up on him," replied Miroku indicatin Happosai who was trying to pry the door open."

Duo sweatdropped, "How in the hells did that creepy little old man get in here anyway?"

"He must have gotten in before the guards got up," replied Miroku. "Want to help me catch him?"

Somehow Happosai had managed to miss the entire discussion and was rather surprised when he found himself bound inside a bag of dirty laundry. Upon closer inspection he found that it was dirty MEN's laundry. Happosai promptly fainted and mysteriously the day appeared to be saved by Duo and Miroku.

The girls unfortunately took the situation the wrong way and an angry mob formed to chase the two of them for the remainder of the morning. Duo sighed and decided he'd take his bath later if time permitted.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A knock sounded frantically on the front door. Squall openned it absently and wasn't very surprised to see the boy with the orange dinosaur that was Agumon on the other side. Taichi was carrying a massive box filled with his doctored posters and wallscrolls of Yamato as Cloud and Sesshoumaru as Sephiroth. However, when he saw the assembled group with Koushiro in the computer room, he decided to hold off on his scheme--at least for now.

*_*_*_*

Within minutes War Greymon joined the seemingly losing battle on the net. A few more seconds online proved to be more than enough for War Greymon and Metal Garurumon to take things to the next level by becoming Omegamon. Imperialdramon took the opportunity to change from Dragon Mode into Figher Mode.

"It's about time you showed up," grumbled Yamato.

"Sorry, I was busy with the posters," replied Taichi with a sweatdrop.

Yamato sighed, "You seriously aren't giving up on that?"

"What'll ya do to me if I say no?" asked Taichi with a smirk.

"I have no intention of joining your scheme, so leave me out of it! Besides, we've got the real Cloud Strife staying here anyway!" exclaimed Yamato.

Taichi blinked, "Really?"

"You mean you didn't seem him guarding the front door?" asked Yamato.

"I almost thought that was you," replied Taichi.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile in Nerima...

Ryoga Hibiki, the eternally lost boy who also carries the Jusenkyo curse of transforming into a small black piglet when he gets splashed with cold water, was standing outside of Ucchan's Okonomiyaki in Nerima District Tokyo. Although this defied all reason for the short time he had been walking and how early it still was in the day, Ryoga was amazed by how easily he had gotten to Nerima. He boldly stepped inside.

"Ryoga? What are you doing here?" Ukyo was a little more than surprised to see Ryoga on her doorstep, at least as he was now. Usually he showed up half-starved and barely conscious, but this time he was grinning like a proud idiot.

"Since I'm already in Nerima, could you show me the way to the Tendo Dojo?" asked Ryoga.

Ukyo facevaulted, "... sure, why not?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, is this about as normal as it gets around here?" asked Squall.

Cloud shrugged, "I've only been working here a week."

Squall facevaulted, "......"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Omegamon finally managed the task of stabbing Diablomon's head and effectively ended the crisis by destroying the original and all the copies in one blow. Agumon, Gabumon, Chicomon and Leafmon returned to their respective partners. At that same time Justimon appeared on the net and sweatdropped, "Did I miss the action?"

"Ryo, you missed it by about a minute," said Ken.

Daisuke spoke up, "So are you going to stay a while? Breakfast is almost ready."

Ryo Akiyama and Cyberdramon emerged from the net, into the computer room. Ryo nodded, "Sure, it isn't like I have anywhere else to be in a hurry right now."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the men's bath Miroku sighed, "It's only horrible because I know I didn't do anything wrong that time."

Duo nodded, "I know what you mean."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sasami called everyone for breakfast. The day had barely begun and already all that had happened. Somehow Crystal got the image she was in for a very long week.
