James now stands in the center of the room.

He clears his throat. "Um…I would like to apologize to my readers for the previous chapter…you see…I lost the feed, and couldn't even include the author's notes, and…"

The feed begins to come on behind him.

"Oh, hey!! It's back on!!" James exclaims, looking back.

"…and that's where she comes from" Jill said.

"Woah…I never knew…" Yomi replied.

James looks utterly horrified.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! How could I suddenly lose the feed at such a critical moment?!"

James hears a whistle, and turns.

"WAAAGH!!" James screams.

"Oh my…little bit surprised, are we?"

"Mrs. Mizuhara!! What the heck are you doing here?!" James exclaimed.

"Keeping the rest of the world from knowing my secret" Mrs. Mizuhara said with a small glint in her eye.

"It's too late!! I can talk to Joe!! He'll tell me!!" James exclaimed in total happiness.

"She said it was a Mizuhara family secret…that only Yomi was to be told…" Joe tells James.

"What?!" James yells.

"Well, didn't you look at the feed? She shooed the rest of us away." Joe replied.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!" James yells angrily. "Where in the world does Mrs. Mizuhara go when she vanishes?!"

"How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?" Osaka asked.

"I guess the answer is the same for both questions." Joe said. "The world may never know…"

"Yeah…probably…" Osaka replied.

Author's notes: So there you have it! A partially collabed Omake about Mrs. Mizuhara. For those that don't know, Mrs. Mizuhara has a tendency to simply appear. It's almost a stalker-like tendency. That's where this idea came from.

Special thanks to Funari for brainstorming ideas for the crazy theories.
