Chapter 16: Dude, Where's my Staff:

LilyMu:

(Lily and Mitsuki are surrounded by snakes)

Lily: We're going to have to do this on our own!

Mitsuki: Just like before Mikey came!

(But then Mitsuki sees something and screams)

Guano: CUT!

Blossom's POV:

"What was that about," asks Guano.

"Th-that," says Mitsuki. We all look and it's a lawn gnome. "Sorry Guys. I don't know why, but I have this irrational fear of lawn gnomes!"

"I'll get rid of it," I said. I then zapped it, and it disappeared.

Mizuki hugs me. "Thanks Blossom," says Mitsuki.

"It's a good thing I have a staff that... for some reason allows me to do spells that I shouldn't be able to do in the Boiling Isles!"

"We could've just moved the gnome," says Guano.

"We can't have our actors having irrational fears," says Ozu.

"Maybe Mitsuki needs someone to stay by her side all the time," Mikey suggests.

"You're right, Mikey," says Ozu, "we must get her a therapist!"

"That's not even close to what I said," says Mikey.

"To be fair, you never listen to him," says Guano.

"Good point," says Mikey.

...

I was then walking around with my staff when I saw Nanami, you know, the girl I'm in love with who also happens to be a paranoid witch hunter? If she sees my staff... I then hid it in a small door on a wall and tried to act normal.

"Hi Blossom," says Nanami.

"I love you," I said, "uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh... who said that?" Nanami left and I banged my head on the wall. I then opened the little door... and I saw it was the laundry chute. "Well, that was stupid."

Mitsuki's POV:

I was then sent to my therapist. "So, we need to talk about your problem," he says.

"Actually, I don't think I need this," I said, "I live in a big city and I doubt I'm going to see a lawn gnome all the time..."

"SILENCE!" I was shaking. "Now, let's discuss it, shall we?"

Blossom's POV:

I was then in the laundrey room, looking for my staff. "How could I have been so stupid," I asked, "but I guess to be fair, where else was I going to hide it?" I then started searching until I found it. "Finally..." But then a giant rat grabbed it and took it away. "NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" I then chased after the rat.

Mitsuki's POV:

"And that's when I fell in love with Mikey... wait, what were we talking about again," I asked.

"The gnome and while most would see your story as irrelevant... I see the connection!"

"You do," I asked.

"Your fear of the lawn gnome is a metaphore for your feelings for Mikey!"

"How," I asked.

"Because you can't bring yourself to talk to Mikey, so you imagine the gnome as him and your fear of rejection turns into a fear of lawn gnomes!"

"I don't think so," I said, "I've been afraid of lawn gnomes since before I met him!"

"Oh, then forget what I just said!"

Blossom's POV:

I then chased after the rat, but then it dropped my staff. "Finally," I said. Then just as I was about to pick it up, a skater grabbed it. "HEY!" I then chased after the skater.

Mitsuki's POV:

"And that's how Lily and I became best friends," I said, "even if it's not a very good friendship... wait, I'm doing it again, aren't I?"

"But don't you see? The gnome represents your inability to stand up to Lily and..."

"This fear actually started when I was a little girl and I haven't known Lily that long," I said.

"This could take a while!"

Blossom's POV:

The skater dropped my staff and just as I was finally about to grab it... a UFO took it. "Huhh," I said, "I did not see that one coming!" The UFO then abducted me too...

Mitsuki's POV:

"Did you run into a creepy old man with a long beard," asks my therapist.

"Nope," I said.

"Did you see a horror movie about lawn gnomes?"

"None that I can think of," I said.

"Did you see one with a cracked face?"

"Nope," I said.

"I'm starting to think I'm not good at this!"

Blossom's POV:

I was on the ship. I was scared of what these aliens could do. Then I saw they were three attractive females. "This is a cute one!" I'm in Lesbian Heaven... which would just be regular Heaven in case that sends the wrong message! "Now, let's disect her!" Scratch that, I'm in the bad place for any sexualities! I then grabbed my staff and ran out the window. I then rode my staff away.

Mitsuki's POV:

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there's nothing we can do! Maybe you should just remind yourself that lawn gnomes cannot hurt you!"

"Okay," I said, "thank you."

Blossom's POV:

I was flying around and the UFO chased after me. Lucky for me, the UFO got attacked by a giant monster, but then I crashed.

...

I hit the ground. "Well, at least I got my staff back," I said. Then the spider on top came to life. "That's right! I have a palisman! I always forget about you!" The spider then revealed something. "You're the reason I can do different types of magic! You must be one special spider! I promise to try not to ignore you so much!" I then hugged it.

Mitsuki's POV:

I was walking, but then I screamed when I saw a lawn gnome robbing a convenience store. "Oh... now I remember," I said.

LilyMu:

(Lily and Mitsuki are surrounded by snakes)

Lily: We're going to have to do this on our own!

Mitsuki: Just like before Mikey came!

(Lily and Mitsuki then beat the snakes and escape and then high fived)

In the next chapter, Team LilyMu's in this dodgeball match against Alice's show.
