A fanfic by Setsumi-san

Quotable quotes: "Wa ha ha! Trogdor strikes again!"-Strong Bad, from the Strong Bad e-mail titled "dragon"

Setsumi-san: ^^' Gomen nasai. I went blank on any other quotes for this chapter's opening.
Ren: Your mind is always blank.
Setsumi-san: _ What are you doing here? Where's Horohoro?
Ren: He's raiding his fridge. What else would he be doing?
Setsumi-san: Oh, yeah. Author's notes: 1. I don't own Disney's Dumbo or anything of the sort. 2. I know that a lot of you want the Hanagumi's machine soon. I have a big surprise regarding them at the end of this fic. 3. To a reviewer who was curious as to when Pyron and Jun fell in love: There is never any specific time when they did, but I think it was along episode 23 or just a bit after that. In the manga there's a little mini-comic of Takei-san's with them looking at each other, blushing, and Tamao gushing about their romance.
I hope you enjoy Ryu's messages, everyone!

/Ryu's Answering Machine/
Ryu's voice: Hellooo all of you pretty ladies (and my dear Lyserg)! Bokuto no Ryu can not answer his cell phone right now, but don't be sad. I will get right back to you as soon as I check my messages. All you have to do is leave a message after the tone with your name, number, and possibly Lyserg's whereabouts. Don't worry, Lyserg, I'm still waiting for you. I'm always gonna wait for you. I know that you're not really happy in the X-laws. *whimper* Oh God! WHYYYY?! COME BACK LYSERG-CHAAAN!!!!

Message 1: Alright you! I'm coming over there if you don't pick up the phone right now and give me back my hair gel! I thought Horohoro stole it, but for once that baka is innocent. Naturally you are my next suspect with your inhuman cucumber-shaped hairstyle, so I am giving you until the count of ten to save yourself. One, two, three…TEN! That does it, kisama!
#BEEP#
Message 2: Oi Ryu, this is Chocolove. Everyone thinks it's best if you forget about that green-haired kid and show up to cook for everyone. Since Tamao's got a cold we have to eat the new recipes that Ren's sister is trying out. Now I don't know about anybody else, but I can't survive through another helping of pickled ravioli gumbo! Wait…I tickled the goalie named Dumbo! Heh heh, am I good or what?

Message 3: Ryu-san, it's Milly of the Lily Five. I'll be way more than happy to help you rescue Lyserg-sama, but I don't think I have any helicopters or army tanks with me. I might be able to get some of those Killer South American Turkeys you wanted with Elly's help because we know a little about them. Don't ask how; it's still a really, really, really bad memory. Brrr…I'll never eat another turkey again…

Message 4: Ryu, listen! If Ren comes over to your house demanding his hair gel back just remember that you have it! I should've thrown it through your hotel window into your room-uh-but not so I could frame you! Wait, I didn't steal his hair gel just to get revenge on him for breaking my snowboard! Revenge?! What revenge?! (pause) Uh…this isn't Horohoro…alright? I'm actually Anna, okay? Okay.
#BEEP#
Message 5: Hi Ryu, this is Yoh calling from the emergency room. I really wanted to thank you for the nice get-well card and just called to let you know that my body cast should be off in a few months. Anna wasn't too mad at me about the late bill payment. She only used the regular lawn mower instead of the ride-on, so everything turned out okay. Ja ne!
