Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo belongs to Yoshio Sawai, Weekly and Viz's Shonen Jump and Toei Animation. Don't know the US company involved with the anime, but I'm using their dub names. Any non-dub names used are of characters not yet introduced. I have no ownership of this, but I sure want merchandise. Sell it to me please! And more manga, please! Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo rocks! All anime mentioned don't belong to me, either. Feed my c2 list and forum!
"This time I didn't forget to write a title for this chapter. Trust me on this."

Jelly and his mother-in-law sat in doctor Faust VIII's office. Jelly looked down, "Thank you for coming with me. I know I've been a terrible wife to your son." Yes, I saw last week's episode. Twice. I'll get to it, just keep reading.
Tsar Baldy Bald IV's mom just burst out laughing, "Hardly. I don't know how my worthless son got so lucky. You should've seen his first wife."
Jelly looked up in shock.
"You didn't know?"
Of course not. He wasn't in that episode.
Baldy's mom looked at me and glared, "Do you mind?"
Ok, sorry. I'm only the writer.
"Baldy was married before. Didn't last long, thankfully. All she did was suck his blood and shed her scales all over the house. Terrible cook, couldn't keep house… nothing like you, Jelly dear," Baldy's mom as she pat Jelly's trembling hands.
"But I don't feel like a proper wife," Jelly murmured.
"I admit I had my doubts when I first saw you. There was no way you could be an Office Lady. You had no hips to speak of, much less good birthing ones. I figured you had to be one of my idiot son's soldiers."
Jelly's eyes went wide, "Then why didn't you say anything?"
His mom-in-law smiled warmly, "Well, anything was better than that bloodsucker you used to be married to. So I watched you, and you amazed me. I never imagined being a general would serve a future housewife so well. You've exceeded all hopes I had for my son, so don't lose heart. Love comes in time, when you've lived together long enough and he's the father of your children. Give it two more days."
Jelly burst into tears as the two hugged, "'Kaasan!"
Now, you may wonder why he doesn't use the term for mother-in-law, or why I'm throwing in the occasional Japanese word in here when it's within the realm of possibility that the characters don't speak Japanese. I mean, look at all the anime set in France: Anime San Jushi, Rose of Versailles, Gankutsou, etc. In any case, I am trying to emphasize the bond that's formed before these two, and the use of Japanese words is a way to stress it while also reflect the show's Japanese roots.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo turned to Don Patch as they watched last week's episode in bed. Don Patch was blushing while clinging onto Raincoat Man.
"Should I be jealous?" Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo asked sharply.
Don Patch bit his lip. Would Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo go for a threesome? Polygamy? At that point, I walked into the room and smacked him for thinking such nasty things. I don't write slash to go Carte Blanc on pretty pictures and hotties. If ever write a Gravitation fic, it'll probably be about Shuichi and Yuki joining the PTA.

As Faust VIII looked over the blood samples, lots of thoughts crossed his mind. Why was he in a Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo fic? Is there anything really amusing in him and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo having the same VA in Japan, unless you're a total dork? Shouldn't a real OBGyn be used for this scene? Why was the Junior Boss of Don Patch's gang wearing his clothes? Why did people write slash fics and Doujinshi about him when he's overly obsessed/in love with his dead wife? Um, yeah. Fanta: it's not just the drink Coke made to keep the German market and avoid bad publicity during WWII.
"Is there a point to this scene?" Jelly asked.
"You ist pregnant," Faust VIII said.

Some weeks later, Softon and Jelly ran into each other at a Monoprix. Don't ask me why they were at a French discount department store, because I have no good reason for this. Sorry.
Softon cornered him, "Are you alone?" Jelly nodded, but didn't turn to face him.
"Then we can escape, just you and me," Softon beamed as he grabbed Jelly's arm and pulled him close.
Jelly looked at Softon sadly, "He won't let me go that easily. I-I-I'm pregnant."
Softon's eyes flashed with hurt, but he wouldn't let go of Jelly. "I don't care. I just want you back. We all want you back."
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Don Patch were picking their noses, "Come back Jelly."
"We, uh, miss you," Hatenko said flatly as he read the writing on his hand.
"I think you wanted Captain Battleship to say this next line," Ryu from Shaman King added. Oh geez, I wrote the wrong character from a different show. Deal with it.
Beauty's eyes bugged out, "Can't you just rewrite that paragraph?"
No.
Jelly's eyes welled with tears, "I really want to come back, but he'll hunt me even more now that I'm carrying his heir." As if he wasn't already sending goons after Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and the others in the first place.
So everyone left Jelly, except Softon, Gasser and Beauty.
"I won't let you go!" Softon yelled as he let go of Jelly and walked out as well.
Gasser and Beauty just stared in shock. Jelly just shrugged and left. I don't know how long Beauty and Gasser stayed, but I wouldn't be surprised if they got kicked out by now.

Meanwhile, Tsar Baldy Bald IV had come up with a plan to destroy the Rebels once and for all. While his mom had gone on a retreat that lasted the rest of the story and Jelly went to Monoprix for an ANGST scene, Baldy put on one of his Western cartoons and decided to rip off its plot. Rock and Rule has good music and a cute heroine, but it's cheesy. Baldy smiled evilly, "Yes, Jellyroll. You will help me destroy your friends." "Did you say something, dear?" Jelly asked as he entered their flat.

"I hope you're not writing much more of this," Suzu told me as I got out of the shower.
I sat next to her on the bed, "Well, this is the climax. I can't imagine writing more than 2, 3 chapters now."
Suzu nodded. She looked adorable, with her blonde hair all mussed up. "It's not that I don't like it, but it's moving awful slow and you keep going on tangents…"
I smiled mischievously as her, "You're just trying to sneak into the story."
Suzu turned a flattering shade of red.
TBC this weekend. Spring break's this week and I'm not leaving town, so I will have this ready for you then.
