Part FIVE!

---------------

Linda: Hello again, sorry it took so long for us to get back to the fic but the Authoress was having a little down time.

Slash: (from offstage) WHEEEEE!!!!!!!!! *runs across the stage nude; the camera blurs out his unmentionables*

Linda: Oh no. Not again.........NANCY!

Nancy: (walks onstage) Yeah?

Linda: Slash is in happy hour again. You be my assistant today.

Nancy: OK.

Linda: Our first story review is for "Aeris's Past Returns" By Angewomon2000.

Nancy: Do I read it now?

Linda: You sure do. *hands the fic to Nancy*

Nancy: *Reads it* Okay, here's the scoop on this fic. It's a sunny and happy day in Snow Town, everything's cool, until us Kids stumble upon a big white crystal of some sort. Aeris explains that it's not hers, that she still HAS hers, and when the two crystals meet they glow and transport us Kids to the past. We wind up in some lost ancient ruin, where we meet Aeris's long-lost real mom, Ifalna. From there she explains the horrible things that happened to their ancient city, especially to Jam, who asked to be filled in on most of the information. They get to see a view of what happened in the past, and afterwards they are taken back to Snow Town.

Linda: What happens next?

Nancy: Nothing. Another unfinished fic.

Linda: ARRRGH! All you authors better finish all your fics or I'll have to-

Tommy: (walks onstage) Slash is better now. But I think we'd better keep Nancy as our assistant just in case.

Linda: Good idea. So Nancy, what's our next fic?

Nancy: A songfic "Kuehnemund Four" by Angewomon2000. And since it's a songfic, and I can't sing for beans, I'll just tell you what the song's about. It's a parody of the Sailor Moon theme song. Except with different lyrics of course.

Linda: Is that pretty much that?

Nancy: For now. Our third fic is "The Joys of Racing" by Taitofan!

Linda: I love her stories. Even though none of them are about straight couples....

Nancy: One of them is! Remember Taichi and Kari?

Linda: Oh yeah..... (looks at Taitofan) Sorry, hon. So Nancy, talk to me. What's this fic about?

Nancy: Well, Slash is in the last race of the Maltinie Tournament. He's against only one other person, not three other people like there usually is in our races, and this other person just so happens to be Slash's love.

Linda: Awww.

Nancy: And off they go with the sound of Mr. Dog's gun, down the slope. Slash's mind betrays his concentration, filled with thoughts of what him and his sweetheart would do after the race is over.

Linda: Getting cuter!

Nancy: But Slash's lovey-dovey dreamland causes him to trip over a rock, and he can only watch as his soulmate crosses the finish line. Yet, he still gets to his feet, and goes over to the other Kid, taps them on the shoulder.......

Linda: (biting her nails)

Nancy: ..........and says "Hey, great job.".........

...............to which Jam turns around and says, "You really did great yourself. My house in half an hour?"

Linda: SLASH AND JAM?!?!?!?

Nancy: I think it's cute!

(Sounds of someone trying to restrain Slash and Jam from beating up the Kids and Taitofan is heard offstage)

Me (The Authoress): Hey! I just so happen to like that couple, thank you very much!

Nancy: Me too! What's wrong with it?

Linda: Urf......(looks like she's about to launch)

Me: Since the Kids are too caught up in this odd moment, I'll explain our fourth fic. It's a songfic, "You and Me and Snowboard Kids", by Angewomon 2000. It was invented by her little sister, actually, and it's a parody of "You and Me and Pokemon." (turns around) Are you guys all calmed down yet?

Linda: I am. I don't know about Slash and Jam.

Me: Okay. Take it away, you two.

Nancy: Okay, our last fic for today would be "Untitled" By Kitty Cat.

Linda: Why is it untitled?

Nancy: Well, it's another Slash/Jam (aka Banzai Moon) pairing.

Me: I invented the pairing nickname ^_^

Nancy: It's cute!

Linda: (looks ill again)

Nancy: Sorry. Linda isn't a big fan of yaoi or yuri fanfics. But most of us are, so we'll read anyway. *ahem* Slash is having some trouble at home, and decides to hide out in his "secret spot" which no one knows about but him and Jam. Jam does eventually arrive, and it isn't long before Slash's troubles catch up with him. He can't fight the tears, and Jam cradles him while he cries. When Slash recovers, the two share a short race and a sweet smile before Slash returns home.

Linda: *sniff sniff*

Nancy: See? Not that bad.

Slash: (walks onstage, clothed [thankfully] this time) Wha'd I miss? Tommy was too busy trying to give me tranquilizers.

Nancy: Since Taitofan's fic.....uh......a songfic and another Slash/Jam fic by KittyCat.

Slash: Agh! I couldn't ever picture myself loving him. I mean he's my buddy, but I can't ever picture like, kissing him and stuff.

Jam: Same here with me towards Slash.

Nancy: And that's a wrap for this episode of "Slash and Linda; The Fic Critics!"

Slash: Actually today it was "Nancy and Linda".

Me: Oh whatever people. Tune in next time!
