When last we left our heroine, she had decided to become the Priestes of...oh let's say Suzaku. This was a pretty big step and the next part of the Mary- Sue algorithm was that she find the Suzaku Seishi.

Now, Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny had already found a young man who was willing to follow her to the ends of the earth and his name was Tasuki. He had fallen in love with her the moment he set eyes on her and they had pledged their eternal love in long paragraphs with run on sentences and complete disregard for canon.

An acceptable variation of this was that she fell in love with Chichiri, despite the fact that he was a monk. He has spiffy hair after all and nothing else matters.

So Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny and Tasuki set out on their grand adventure and soon found Chichiri. Or Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny and Chichiri set out on their grand adventure and soon found Tasuki. Whichever.

Either way they were all soon on their merry way when Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny was attacked! By bad people! Yay...I mean....oh no!

Chichiri whipped off his hat and all three were soon standing at the home of Taiitsukun, or, She-of-hard-name-to-spell. Quickly, the Nyan-Nyan healed Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny, but not before one of the two males present made another pledge of eternal love to her and berated himself for not protecting her. Finally, She-of-hard-name-to-spell showed up. She congratulated Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny for coming so far on her quest, but assured the worst was still to come. She also declared her the most powerful miko in all mikodom, assured her of Suzaku's blessing, gave her several magical items, and all but gave her complete control of the universe.

Back in the Real World, Ashley finally realized she wasn't on MTV and that her best friend was missing. Following basic logic she decided that the book Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny had checked out had dragged her into another world and the only way back home was to click her heels together three times and say: "I wish I wasn't a Mary-Sue. I wish I wasn't a Mary- Sue. I wish I wasn't a Mary-Sue."

Rushing to Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny's living quarters, Ashley snuck in through an open window, using her ultra-cool stealth ninja skillz, and entered her missing friend's room. She looked around, looted some yaoi manga, and was about to leave, when she remembered her original purpose. She had to get Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny back so she could hit her up for money.

Picking up the 'She Gin Tenshi Shao' Ashely used her uber leet ninja skillz and quietly left the house. She made her way to the park where she settled down on the bench and began to read.

'Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Commander Riker beamed down on Romulus to engage in an all night orgy...' Ashley blinked and turned the book right side up. 'The Suzaku no Miko wrapped her slender arms around her true love's muscular frame and whispered how much she loved him.'

'Wow!' Ashley thought. 'This is amazing! The only way this could be cooler is if I knew how to read Ancient Chinese and had some sort of clue as to what this was all about.' Shrugging off an obvious plot point, she continued looking at the pretty markings while the Suzaku no Miko's dramatic tale unfolded.

Back in the book Yume/Hikari/Eternity/Destiny sighed in torment. 'Man, I really have a wedgie.' She thought.

Everything belongs to Pioneer, except my soul. I keep that in a plastic Ziploc bag with a pink ribbon around it. The only thing I am getting out of this parody is a bunch of nice reviews. ****Hands out digitalized cookies to reviewers**** Confidential to Atari- It's ok if you don't like my parody. There is no constitutional amendment that says everyone who reviews is going to love the story. If anything I respect you because you told why you didn't like, and you didn't use a cuss word in every sentence. You have as much right to dislike this as anyone else has to enjoy it. As a friend of mine would say, it's all cheese and crackers. Of course this works both ways and I have the right to go ahead and keep writing.
