GALAXY ANGELS: HOT & COLD
"Alright, we're now in TCY 412!" Alan informed Shinichi. "And we should be right in the middle of a resort planet!"
"And you know what that means," Shinichi grinned, wearing a floral-patterned Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, flip flops, a straw hat and sunglasses. "Beach, waves, and bikini-clad babes!" He ran for the TARDIS' door and kicked it open only to stop dead at the doorway. "Um…Alan?"
"Yeah?" Alan answered from the console.
"You might wanna get out here."
Shinichi and Alan exited out of the TARDIS to find themselves in what appeared to be a wasteland. The ground was burnt and it looked like there were rivers of lava flowing through the cracks. "This…can't be right." He went back to check the console and looked at the date. "We got the date right and the coordinates…oh."
"The coordinates are off, aren't they?" Shinichi deadpanned. He grumbled and stomped back to his room.
"It'll be fine. I'll get this fixed so we'll get to the resort planet!" Alan called.
Shinichi exited, dressed in his double-breasted jackets, pants, gloves and boots. "We're already here. Might as well check it out to see why the TARDIS landed us here."
"You sure? Because I can still take us to the beach," Alan asked.
"If we're here, there's a reason," Shinichi shrugged. "Now, come on!"
Fortunately, Alan wasn't affected by the heat since his ring generated a protective energy field around his body. As for Shinichi, the blue-haired boy claimed he was wearing an insulated jacket that would keep his body at comfortable room temperature. Also, being a cyborg, he was made for harsh environments.
"Nothing for miles," Shinichi said as he looked around with his telescopic vision. "Just a lot of lava, and volcanoes." He grimaced. "A lot of volcanoes."
"Doesn't seem inhabited," Alan stated. "But…then again…"
"Things are never as they seem," said Shinichi as he stared at the sky. The entire sky was covered in black clouds of volcanic ash.
"Come on, we should head back to the-"
"Ships," Shinichi interrupted. "I see ships coming in for a landing."
"Ships, huh?" Alan smiled. "Well, let's go say hello."
The ships were known as Emblem Frames and were space fighters piloted by the Angel Troupe. The five girls who made up the group were named Milfeuelle Sakuraba, Ranpha Franboise, Mint Blancmanche, Forte Stollen and Vanilla H.
(Note: Not gonna bother describing them. You all know what they look like. All I can tell you is that they're wearing environmental suits due to the planet's atmosphere)
"Forte, are you sure about this place?" asked Ranpha.
"Yup, command has intel telling us that there's Lost Technology on this planet," said Forte.
"But it's so hot, I can feel it through my suit," complained Ranpha. "Why do we need to wear these things?"
"Because we don't know if the air is breathable," said Forte.
"The ground's really glowing!" Milfeulle admired.
"That is because of the lava flowing through the cracks," informed Vanilla in monotone.
"What sort of Lost Technology can we find here?" Mint asked as she looked around.
"Girls! Girls!" Milfeulle jumped. "I found something! I found the Lost Technology!"
The Angel Troupe gathered at Milfeulle's position to examine her discovery, which was a tall, red box.
"It's…a box," Ranpha deadpanned. "We came out here in the middle of nowhere for a box."
"Ranpha, it's a box in the middle of nowhere that makes it so interesting," grinned Forte. "This must be our Lost Technology!"
"But what is it?" Mint asked as she looked around it.
"That would be my TARDIS!" Alan spoke up, startling the girls (except Vanilla). "Hello!"
Forte took out her gun and aimed, "Identify yourself!"
"Alan Smith, traveler," Alan introduced himself. "Oh, and put down the gun. I don't really like guns." Shinichi was next to him and cleared his throat. "Oh, and this is my brother, Shinichi."
"Brother?" Ranpha blinked. "But you're…?"
"I take after my mother," Shinichi answered quickly.
"So, what are you doing here and why aren't either of you in environmental suits?" Forte asked suspiciously.
"We got lost and our TARDIS here landed us here," said Alan, putting his hand on the phone box. "She never really takes us where we wanna go, but always where we need to go."
"And we were on our way to a resort planet," frowned Shinichi in disappointment.
"You're saying that this box is a ship?" Ranpha asked skeptically. "It looks kinda cramped."
"That's what they all say, but it's very comfortable. You should see what it looks like on the inside, Miss…"
"Ranpha. Ranpha Franboise." Once Ranpha got a really good look at Alan, she couldn't help but find him cute. "So, you travel, huh? You must be rich."
"I wouldn't say that," said Alan. "So, could I have all your names?"
The rest of the Angel Troupe introduced themselves and the brothers learnt that the girls were part of the military, in charge of seeking out Lost Technology.
"Well, this TARDIS isn't Lost Technology, I'm sorry," Alan apologized.
"What does 'TARDIS' mean?" Milfeuelle asked.
"It's an acronym for 'Time And Relative Dimensions In Space'," Alan answered. "It's what a friend of mine called his so I built this baby as a tribute."
"Well, guess this trip was a bust," muttered Forte. Suddenly, they heard ringing. "What's that?"
"The warning bell," Alan frowned. "But that only rings when."
BOOM!
The ground shook.
"What was that?" Shinichi asked.
BOOM! BOOM!
The ground shook some more.
"Nothing good judging by the sound of that," Alan answered.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"And it's coming closer," Alan grimaced.
"It's just an earthquake," dismissed Forte.
"Forte, an earthquake on a planet of volcanoes is never a good thing, but tell me do you see any of them erupting?" Alan asked.
"Are you saying those sounds we heard aren't from an earthquake?" Mint asked. "Then what is it."
BOOM!
Shinichi's eyes widened and he pointed. "That." Everyone turned and couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was a giant humanoid, in the shape of a man, with lava flowing through the cracks of its body which acted like veins. It eyes were glowing like fire. They had fins atop their heads, making them resemble Roman soldiers.
"A Pyrovile," said Alan.
"A what?" Ranpha asked.
"Translation: trouble," said Shinichi. "You girls better get to your ships before that thing sees us!"
"And you?" Milfeulle asked.
"To the TARDIS!" Alan shouted immediately as he and Shinichi entered their vehicle while the girls ran for their Emblem Frames.
Once inside, Shinichi and Alan were at the console and looking at the screen. "Those girls won't make it."
"I know, which is why we're going to distract it," said Alan. "Hold on." He pulled a lever. "Allons-y!"
Hearing that Shinichi answered, "Ikuze!"
The TARDIS took flight, spinning around as it took to the air. The Pyrovile, seeing the red box tried to make a grab for it but the door opened and Alan stuck his head out, waving, "Hi!" before shooting it with his ring to send it staggering back. He saw the girls who were at their Emblem Frames but they were staring as the TARDIS flew. He shouted, his voice booming as if he was talking through a megaphone, "WHAT ARE YOU GIRLS WAITING FOR!-? GO!" The Pyrovile smacked the TARDIS and nearly knocked it out of the air as Alan hung on for dear life at the doorway. Inside, Shinichi was holding onto the console as the TARDIS tilted back and forth.
"Alan! Are the girls good?" Shinichi called.
"Right!" Alan looked. "They're flying away now!" He constructed a green energy fist which smacked the Pyrovile to the ground . "Sorry about that!" He reentered the TARDIS and closed the door before going for the console.
"Alan, let's lock onto those girls and see where they're going," said Shinichi.
"You want to get to know them?" Alan asked, knowing what Shinichi was planning.
"The pinkette looks cute, and don't tell me you weren't eyeing that blonde. I bet they're fine under those suits if their faces are any indication," replied Shinichi.
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Alan locked onto the Emblem Frames. "Allons-y!"
The Angel Troupe, after reporting to their Commander, returned to their common room for some rest and relaxation after such a strange, and terrifying, mission.
"That mission was a strange one," said Milfeuelle. From how she looked she didn't seem like one who'd just escaped from a giant monster by the skin of her teeth.
"Which part? The big rock monster or the two guys who fly around in a box?" Mint asked, curious about the two young men.
"I just hope they're OK. They really helped us out when they distracted the monster," said Milfeuelle.
"It's a shame we won't be seeing them again," sighed Ranpha sadly. "The silver-haired one was cute."
"His name is Alan Smith, and his brother is Shinichi Banabara," Vanilla corrected.
"Right, Alan," smiled Ranpha. He was just so heroic and brave, not to mention cute.
"What I want to know is how they got that box flying and what exactly it is?" questioned Forte. It wasn't like any ship she'd ever seen. It just looked a red, rectangular box with windows.
VROOMP!
"Hey, what's that sound?" Milfeuelle asked.
"What sound?" Mint questioned, looking up from her manga.
VROOMP!
VROOMP!
"There it is again!" exclaimed Milfeuelle.
"I hear it too," Ranpha added.
"Yeah, what is that?" Forte inquired curiously.
"Look!" Mint pointed as something was starting to appear in the middle of the room
VROOMP!
VROOMP!
VROOMP!
After blinking in and out of existence for several moments, the red TARDIS materialized right in the middle of the common room.
The door opened and Shinichi came out, dressed in his Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda shorts from before. "Hello, Angels!" he greeted loudly as they gawked at him. Only Vanilla's gaze was neutral.
"It's you!" Milfeuelle gasped, recovering from the shock, and looking relieved, "You're OK! We saw that monster attack you but you're OK!"
"Were you worried?" Shinichi smiled at Milfeuelle which caused the pinkette to blush and her heart to beat a bit faster than usual. Alan stepped out of the TARDIS after Shinichi.
"So, we landed right here," Alan admired. "The common room, right?"
Click!
Forte had a revolver aimed right at the two.
"Forte!" cried out Ranpha in shock and annoyance. "What are you doing!-?"
"Ranpha, these two are intruders," Forte justified. "Now, what are you doing on our ship? How did you get onboard?" she questioned.
"Well, we wanted to see if you were OK, and we got onboard because of my TARDIS," said Alan.
"But how?" Forte pressed on.
"This thing travels through time and space, so it can go anywhere and to any time," Shinichi explained.
Forte was skeptical, "A time machine? You expect me to believe that's a time machine?"
"It's more believable than saying this thing can travel across dimensions, which it can," answered Alan, smiling roguishly.
"I'm just glad the monster didn't get you," said Milfeuelle.
"You mean that Pyrovile? Well, it was close but we've faced worse," said Shinichi. "Anyway, there's actually another reason we're here. Since you girls weren't able to find your Lost Technology thing we wanted to let you go on a trip with us."
"A trip?" Ranpha responded.
Alan opened the TARDIS door. "Come onboard." He entered and the door closed behind him.
"It looks a little cramped," Ranpha studied as Shinichi opened the door and went in. He poked his head out.
"Relax," he said. "Don't judge a book by its cover." He pulled back in and closed the door.
"I wanna check it out!" said Milfeuelle as she opened the door and went inside. Two seconds later she came out and said, "Girls! Girls! Come in! You won't believe it!"
"I don't…believe it…" Forte stared in awe. She and the rest of the Troupe had entered the TARDIS and just stared, speechless.
"It's…it's…it's…" Mint tried to find the words.
"Bigger on the inside," Vanilla summarized and while she did not express it, she was probably awed as well. "The internal and external dimensions do not match."
"Hyperspace technology!" Alan answered, "That's what it is!"
"But this…it's not…physically possible…" said Forte.
"It takes a while to get used to," Shinichi agreed. "Alan here built it with his own two hands."
"I had help," Alan argued. "But, anyway, you girls should go and pack because we're going on a trip!"
"Where are we going?" asked Milfeulle happily.
"A resort planet called Tropicana-12!" Alan said.
"We were actually heading there when we landed before on that volcano planet," Shinichi said. "This TARDIS doesn't always takes us where we wanna go, but always where we need to go." He grinned and looked at Milfeulle, "And I think we needed to meet you lovely ladies."
Milfuelle just blushed and giggled a bit at being flirted with.
"Stop it," Alan scolded. "So, again, pack your bags and meet back on the TARDIS in like an hour and we'll be on our way!"
ONE HOUR LATER: The Angel Troupe were packed for their trip.
"Right, everybody ready?" Alan asked as he stood at the control console. "OK, good!"
"Say…do you fly this thing too?" Ranpha asked, sidling up to Alan at the console.
"Yup, I fly her," said Alan. "Of course I have Shinichi help me out too. This thing was meant to be flown by six."
"You must be really good," Ranpha complimented.
"I'm the best," boasted Alan.
"Alan, please, let's just go to the beach," Shinichi prompted impatiently. If he couldn't flirt with the cute pink-haired girl before the trip than Alan couldn't flirt with the voluptuous blonde and Shinichi had to admit that Forte and Ranpha had the figures of supermodels. However, Milfeuelle was the one who reminded him most of her.
Tropicana-12 was a planet which had been terra-formed from an uninhabitable wasteland into the resort planet it was today. Its main purpose was to attract tourists and travelers who wanted a nice place for relaxation. There were hotels and inns for guests who were staying overnight or wished to prolong their stay, recreation centers, an amusement parks and finally a beach with a beautiful ocean view.
The TARDIS appeared right next to beach snack bar and the door opened to let out its occupants. The members of the Angel Troupe were all in their swimwear and Shinichi had to admire Milfeulle who was dressed in a modest pink-trimmed orange two-piece. Ranpha, of course, wore a red bikini that showed off her figure and even though Forte was wearing a violet one-piece, it showed off her cleavage and it was low cut in the back. Mint wore a school swimsuit and Vanilla wore a green one piece with frills around the openings for her arms and legs.
Shinichi had his straw hat and sunglasses on as he stepped out of the TARDIS, followed by Alan who was in a green t-shirt and green swimming trunks. He had sunglasses which were on his head. As the men, they carried the rest of the stuff like beach umbrellas, blankets and the cooler.
"Ah, the beach!" Shinichi admired but his eyes were on the girls, "And the babes!"
Alan rolled his eyes as they found a spot to put down all their things. They set down the blankets and set up the beach umbrellas. Some deck chairs were also unfolded.
"OK, now that the work is done, let's play!" said Shinichi as he ran over to Milfeulle who called out to him.
"He seems to like Milfeuelle," Ranpha admired as she stood next to Alan. "So, what is this symbol supposed to mean?" she asked, her finger on the Green Lantern emblem on his chest. She was leaning in close, her cleavage in plain view of his eyes but he managed to divert his eyes to look at her face.
"It's a special club symbol," he told her. The Green Lantern Corps didn't exist in the universe, it seemed. "So, what do you wanna do?"
Shinichi was walking alongside Milfeuelle on the beach, getting to know each other better. "So, what's it like working in the military?" he asked.
"Oh, it's great fun! I meet a long of people, make new friends, and even go on tons of adventures!" Milfeuelle described.
"Sounds like my life in a nutshell," he replied, smiling. "So, you got a hobby."
"Baking," she answered instantly.
"Baking, huh…?" He got a nostalgic look on his face as he whispered, "Just like her…"
"What was that?" Milfeulle asked. "I didn't get that last part."
"Oh, just thinking. You remind me of someone I cared about a long time ago," Shinichi told her.
"Was this person special to you?" she asked.
"She was the first person I saw when I woke up to my new life," he answered. "But…that was ages ago."
"Where is she now?" Milfeuelle asked.
"Waiting somewhere for me, out there," he said, looking to the sky. "And I'm going to be with her soon."
Milfeulle noted his tone, it sounded so sad, and he sounded like he missed this person. She changed the subject to a more cheerful one, "So, you and Alan are really brothers?"
"Half-brothers, to be more accurate. Same dad, different mothers," he explained. "And no, his dad didn't cheat on his mom. My mother just got his dad's sperm for artificial insemination. We just found each other by coincidence."
"And now you're traveling together?" Milfeuelle asked.
"Yeah," Shinichi nodded. "He's my little brother. It's my job to look after him. So, we go off on adventures, through time, space and other dimensions."
"Other dimensions. What are they like?" Milfeuelle asked.
"If you want we could take you along," he offered.
Milfeuelle blushed and was about to respond when she was interrupted.
"Hey, you two! Let's play some beach volleyball!" Ranpha called.
Minutes Earlier…
"Hey, babe, you wanna hang out with us?" a tanned, muscular punk came up to Ranpha, leering at her body. "I promise it'll be fun." He was with his friend, another muscle-bound jock type and they didn't seem to be type to understand a refusal.
"Back off, I'm with someone!" she scoffed. One of them grabbed her arm.
"Hey, I didn't say you could-WOAH!" Ranpha had flipped him onto his back, painfully.
"Hey, bitch!" the other one went to confront her but he ended up with Alan in his face. "Back off!" the guy threatened. He was a head taller than Alan but Alan had a secret weapon.
As soon as the man locked eyes with Alan he started to sweat and back away as the Lantern's eyes glowed green with anger. It was a trick he managed to learn, to manifest and target his Killing Intent. The man picked up his friend and ran off.
"Thanks, but I could've handled them," said Ranpha.
"A Smith never lets a lady defend themselves alone," Alan quoted. "A family motto. We always stand by our women."
"So…I'm your woman then," she teased.
"Well, if you're interested," he returned, smiling back.
"How about a game of beach volleyball?" she challenged. "Oh, and there's Milfeulle and your brother." She called, Hey, you two! Let's place some beach volleyball!"
Vanilla was content with making sand sculptures, impressive works of art, while Forte was just relaxing under the sun. Mint became referee. It was a two VS two game of beach volleyball. On one side of the net were Ranpha and Alan while Milfeulle and Shinichi stood on the other side.
"OK, best out of 5 wins!" Mint declared. "Ready? Serve!"
The game continued, with both sides showing off their athletic skills. It seemed like a close game as 30 minutes into it the score was tied 4-4. However, Alan paused in his serve when something off started to happen. Ranpha felt it too and started to shiver.
"It's freezing…" she commented, rubbing her upper arms to gain some warmth. Everyone felt it and that wasn't the oddest part as snowflakes began to fall.
"Wow, it's snowing!" Milfeulle cheered and then she shivered. Shinichi removed his shirt and draped it over her for warmth. Alan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the clouds.
"That's not normal," Alan said. "Tropicana-12 has a tropical climate all year round. It shouldn't be snowing at all."
"You want to check it out?" Shinichi asked.
"Right," Alan nodded. "Looks like we need to cut this vacation short. To the TARDIS!"
The two travelers entered the TARDIS, their new friends in the Angel Troupe accompanying them to get out of the cold.
"At least this place has heating," said Forte, relieved to be out of the cold.
Alan was checking the screen on the console. "OK, I'm trying to pinpoint the source of this odd weather. Its point of origin should appear…Aha! Got it! It's in the mountain area and that's where we're going!"
"What do you expect to find?" Ranpha asked.
"Who knows?" Alan shrugged, "But you girls should get dressed. It's going to get chilly!"
"This happens a lot, I bet," Milfeuelle offered.
"Oh, yeah," Shinichi grinned. "The adventure never ends! Ikuze!"
"Allons-y!" Alan shouted.
The TARDIS rematerialized on a mountain and just as Alan predicted this was the source of the weather disturbance. The entire surface was covered in snow. The door opened and both Shinichi and Alan walked out, Alan sporting a green jacket while Shinichi had on his coat. "You girls should stay in the TARDIS where it's safe. We'll check things out first," Alan recommended.
"Hey, we don't take orders from you!" Forte retorted, crossing her arms and huffing.
"Remember that Pyrovile?" Alan questioned. Forte grimaced. "It could be something that big too, only this one makes snow."
"Snow isn't so bad," Milfeuelle said as she skipped out. She then fell flat on her back and waved her arms and legs to make a snow angel. "See?"
"Milfie-chan, please go in the TARDIS," said Shinichi seriously. He offered his hand and he pulled her up to her feet. "Please," he added.
"OK," Milfeulle nodded, touched by his concern. She looked back at her snow angel and frowned. "Hey, where did my snow angel go?" she asked.
"What?" Shinichi blinked. He looked at the spot. "That's weird. The snow could've covered over it but this isn't a blizzard." He looked back, "And we aren't leaving…tracks." He blanched. "Uh-oh."
The ground started to move.
"It's moving!" Milfeulle exclaimed as she clung onto Shinichi.
"Alan, we got a live one!" Shinichi shouted as something rose from the snow. It was snow white, perfect to blend in with the snow but had blue spots on its sides. It looked like a huge worm! The worm had a beak and tusks on the sides of the beak.
"What is that thing!-?" Milfeulle shouted.
"A Frost Worm!" Alan identified.
"You know what that thing is!-?" Ranpha screamed.
"Yes," Alan said. "A friend of mine told me about them. It's just amazing that one is here."
"But what is it doing here?" Shinichi questioned.
"The young will feed…" growled the Frost Worm.
"Oh…" Alan now realized. "It's trying to lay its eggs."
"Cold…Forever cold…" the Frost Worm hissed.
"Lay eggs?" Now Ranpha was worried. This thing was trying to breed.
Alan explained, "They try to drop the temperatures of entire planets so that the young can hatch and thrive. You see those clouds? That's the gas they emit to alter the weather and temperature."
"What does that mean?" Milfeulle.
"It means this entire planet is going to freeze," Shinichi answered.
"That's horrible!" gasped Milfeulle.
"OK," said Forte as she cocked her pistol. "Let's show this worm not to mess with our resort planet." She stepped out and her gun was ripped out of her hand by a green hand of energy. "Hey!"
"Do not resort to violence," said Alan. "This thing seems intelligent enough to have basic speaking skills. I'm going to try and reason with it."
"Reason with a worm?" Ranpha questioned, staring at Alan in disbelief. "How can you do that?"
"Just watch!" Alan grinned. He turned to address the Frost Worm, "Yo, Frost Worm! Hi! Welcome to this planet! I've come to you in peace. As a representative of the Green Lantern Corps, I order you to leave. You cannot make this planet a cold wasteland. I'm sure I can find you a better home where you can lay your eggs and live with your young in peace."
"This planet is the new home," the Frost Worm growled.
"No, no, no," Alan denied. "This planet is already occupied and it's protected, by me. Now, if you would come with me, I can take you to a planet where there's fine food and cold climate."
The Frost Worm's response was to roar and lunge towards Alan and Shinichi.
"HOLY CRAP!" The two brothers dodged to the side as the Frost Worm came at them like a snake. "Alan, I don't think it accepts your offer!"
"Well, then it's time we dealt with this!" said Alan as he took out his Sonic Screwdriver. "Shinichi, Plan D! As in D for Distraction!"
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me," Shinichi grumbled as he took out his own Sonic Manipulator. "You so owe me for this!" He shouted, "Hey, you stupid worm! You want food? Come on? Come get me!"
The Angel Troupe watched the two brothers confront the worm.
"They are insane," said Forte.
"They are," Ranpha admired appreciatively as she saw Alan handle himself. "So brave."
"Be careful, Shinichi!" Mlifeulle called.
The Frost Worm lunged for Shinichi, its jaws wide open, but Shinichi countered and pointed his Sonic Manipulator at its face as he held down the button. Blue pulses of sonic energy were released and the creature hissed in pain. "Alan, the sonic disorients it!"
"OK!" Alan jumped onto its back and ran along its body before reaching the head. "I didn't want to do this, but you left me no choice!" He pointed the Sonic Screwdriver at its head and held down the button, assaulting the creature along with his brother as it was hit by two sonic pulses. "Remember, just knock it out!"
"I got it!" The two kept it up as the creature thrashed with Alan holding on for dear life. Finally, it stopped and fell unconscious as it stopped emitting gasses.
"They did it!" Milfeulle cheered. She ran out and hugged Shinichi. "You did it!"
"Yeah, we did," said Shinichi. "Alan, now what do we do?"
"I did say we were gonna take it and its eggs to a planet with a colder climate," said Alan as he used his ring to cover the Frost Worm and its eggs in an insulated energy bubble. He floated up, amazing the girls. "Shinichi, mind piloting the TARDIS back to the resort? I'm sure that the weather will be fine by the time I get back."
Alan then shot into the air, carrying his cargo, as he flew into outer space.
Shinichi entered the TARDIS and made his way to the console where he started pressing buttons, pulling levers and flipping switches.
"Shinichi, who is your brother anyway?" Ranpha asked, wanting to really get to know Alan.
"One of the greatest heroes this universe and others has ever seen," Shinichi said. "You interested?"
"Well…" Ranpha pressed her index fingers together. "There's this ball we're supposed to attend soon and I don't have a date, so…"
"Ask him. It's like his nature to never refuse a pretty face," said Shinichi. "When is this ball exactly?"
After putting the Frost Worm on a planet with a cold climate along with its eggs, Alan returned to the TARDIS and returned the girls to the Elle Ciel. "Sorry about what happened," Alan apologized. "Really, I'm sorry. Never thought that a Frost Worm would be there."
"Ah, it's fine," Forte dismissed.
"Well, me and my brother have to go," said Alan.
"Wait!" Ranpha called. "Alan, would you like to go with me to the Fargo Ball?"
"What?" Alan asked.
"Shinichi, would you accompany me as well?" Milfeulle asked as well.
Shinichi and Alan shared a look and nodded to each other. They took the girls' hands and kissed the backs like gentlemen.
"Of course," said Alan. "When will it be?"
ONE MONTH LATER…
It was time for the Fargo Ball and the Angel Troupe attended wearing fine dressed. Even Vanilla looked good. Forte herself was sitting at the bar, getting many offers for a dance. Ranpha sighed as she just sat at a table, looking bored. She had invited Alan to be her date and he promised to come but he had not turned up. She looked at Milfeulle who admired the entire ballroom but she knew the pinkette was waiting for Alan's brother.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and sighed. Probably someone asking for a dance with her. Normally, she wouldn't ignore the attention but the one she wanted to dance with was Alan. "Look, I'm-" she began as she turned to reject the 6th person who'd asked her to dance this evening, only to freeze, stunned.
"Would you like to dance, Ranpha Franboise?" Alan asked. He was in a standard black tuxedo with a green shirt and black bowtie with a brooch on his lapel shaped like the Green Lantern Corps' insignia. He even had TARDIS cufflinks. On his head he wore a top hat.
"You came," said Ranpha as she rose up from her chair.
"And not just me," said Alan as he gestured with his thumb. There was his brother, Shinichi, wearing a black, double-breasted jacket with long coat tails and matching pants. He also wore his trademark scarf. He was dancing with Milfeulle.
"How did you get in without an invitation?" Ranpha asked.
"Who says I didn't?" Alan asked, pulling out and flashing the Psychic Paper. "See? My invitation. It even says I can bring along a Plus 1. Shinichi's my Plus 1."
"You are amazing," she said, astounded. "And you were supposed to pick me up before."
"Sorry, sorry," Alan apologized. "We ran into a bit of a trouble with some Macra."
"Macra?" Ranpha repeated.
"I'll tell you later. So, would you do me the honors of a dance, Ms. Ranpha Franboise?"
Alan led Ranpha to the dance floor and the two swayed and spun to the music together. Shinichi, seeing this, smiled and winked at his brother as he danced with his partner as well.
KAMEN RIDER CHROME: Another oneshot and crossing over with Galaxy Angel as the TARDIS and its two crew members, Alan and Shinichi travel through all time and space in the Multiverse. What's next? Well, if you got any ideas please drop them in NEW IDEAS 5…or 6 when it's time to change.
