A youtube review. Red Trek.

I have recently discovered this animation some years ago. It is a six act animation cross over of Star Trek. The next generation and Red Dwarf. I have seen is a lot of times and had always liked it. So I have decided to do a review with this ten year old story. This review contains spoilers.

The Story:

The story is basic. After traveling thru a worm hole, The crew of the Jupiter Mining ship Red Dwarf encounter the Star ship Enterprise. There is a lot of chit chat between the characters (which I like to see in a lot of cross overs) and the Red Dwarf crew are invited on board the Enterprise. After Rimmer nearly causes an accident with Star Bug (their ship to planet's surface shuttle craft), both worlds met in the Enterprise's control room. Rimmer then gets invited to have a look around the engineering while Lister, Kryten, and Cat are shown around the rest of the ship by Captain Jean Luc Picard.

After showing them around the hollow deck, everyone discovers that a unidentified life form had sneaked on board as well. They decide to hunt for it in tradition with the Alien films. The alien life form turned out to be the shape shifting creature from the Red Dwarf universe named the Polymorph and it had already attack many of the Enterprise's crew. After a comedic chase, they manage to corner and kill it in the hollow deck.

While all of this is going on, Data (The Enterprise's android) finds a way of restoring Holly's (Red Dwarf's computer) I.Q from six to six thousand. Afterwards everyone learns that (with the aid of the hollow deck) that Holly can bring people back to life. Namely Lister's love interest Kristine Kochanski, Rimmer's love interest Ivon McGruder, and the Enterprise's former security officer Tasha Yar. After some comedic high jinx, all three are resorted to life (including Rimmer. Being their test subject). At the end they all said their goodbyes and go their separate ways. With the Red Dwarf crew heading back to Earth (all though it was never made clear if they had returned to their own universe).

The Animation:

The animation looked liked it was made by Microsoft paint. There are a lot of bright colours and many recognisable objects are oddly shaped. But as a cartoon it is ok by my standards.

The sound and audio:

Again it is basic. Many of the voices are spot on with a view that are off centred. Cat has been given a Australian accent and both Holy's and Data's voices were made by that android voice thing that reads things out to you. The audio can be a bit on the dull side. But the thing that I like is the merge of both the main theme tunes.

Overall thoughts:

Its not that great of a animation show. It can be seen as boring and unfunny sometimes. But it is great to see two popular science fiction shows meeting together. If the original creators are still doing their Youtube channel, then they might redo this. With up to date animation and voice editing. But for me it is great to watch and something to pass the time. Just search Red Trek Flash Animation on Youtube and you will find it.

Kyokoon64

Kyokoon64 is by far one of the most wonderful people on YouTube. I love her game plays and her voice acting. And she is also a fellow Hetalia fan. I really enjoyed her videos and have been looking forward to future videos. As a request I would like to see her play Minecraft (but that is a just a request and it's her own choice). I also like to get the Hetalia games that she had played but I don't know how. Is there a special website she visits or an Abb store. Anyway Kyokoon64 is the first girl Youtuber I had subscribed to and I'm looking forward to many of her videos in the future.

What if pokemon were real?

Everyone who is a pokemon fan has always wondered what life would be like if pokemon were real. And I also have been wondering about this. Riding on the back of a Charizard, seeking out a Haunter in a abandoned house, fishing for Magikarp, battling other trainers with a Pikachu, the list goes on. But then I have discovered a lot of downsides of having pokemons in the real life. So theses are the pros and cons of having pokemon in the real world.

Pro 1: The different varieties.

Pokemon come in all different shapes and sizes. From mammals, reptiles, and fish to insects, plants and ghosts. You'll have a lot of different varieties of these creatures to choose from. Also this would give people the opportunity to collect them.

Con 1: Earth's other animals.

Our world has a lot of animals. Monkeys, cows, horses, fish, dogs, cats, and many others. I feel that if pokemon were real, then they would be confrontation with our own animals. Ok there might be times when they could get on well with each other (cows and tauros for example). But then some might end up fighting for space. This would be disastrous.

Pro 2: They would be popular.

I would happy to have a Raichu, a Muk, a Gengar, a Dragonite, a Primeape, and a Lapras on my team as we battle other trainers and gym leaders. And many other people would be happy to have their favourite pokemons with them. And you might have collectors who want to have at least one of every type. You could have zoos, safari parks, farms, ranches, and even circuses.

Con 2: How to house them and move them.

I know that in the games and in the anime that you house them in pokeballs. But then what if you want to have a farm or a pokemon ranch? Then you have the problem of housing them. It would be ok for smaller pokemons like the starters but what about the likes of big pokemons like Onyxs, Rhydon, or Steelix? Then you have to build large barns for them. And then comes the problem of transporting them. Again there are the pokeballs. But then again you have to build special animal transportation carriages for them.

Pro 3: The Battles.

Pokemon are (sadly) used to battle each other in battle tournaments. Usually there is just one trainer against another trainer but most of the time you get things like world cup tournaments where hundreds of trainers battle each other from all over the world. If there are pokemon in the real world then you'll have people battling each other. There have to be some rules to this. First of all you can not battle in public airers (market squares, housing states, streets where there are major shops) and you have to have a judge on hand incase of cheating or misuse of the pokemon that are battling. You could even get gyms and pokemon centres popping up everywhere. Also people would build their own gyms and Pokemon centres as well.

Con 3: Animal rights movements.

There are laws on the mistreatment of animals. Especially those who have been forced to fight each other. And there are many organisations to inforce those laws. How would they reacted if pokemon were real. People like PETA would have a field day prosecuting trainers and gym leaders for a number of reasons.

Pro 4: The trainers.

You would get loads of people who would like to travel the world and battle/collect pokemons. It would be something different to do. Getting people out in the fresh air, meeting new friends, and getting some exercise.

Con 4: The trainers.
In the pokemon world, those who reach the age of ten are legally aloud to start traveling with pokemons. This would not be aloud in our world. Sending ten year olds out into the world on their own with dangerous creatures would not be aloud. It would be wise for them to finish school and then take a special collage course in how to handle pokemon. And then give the person a pokemon insurance, some extra stuff, and then send them out. Better safe then sorry.

Pro 5: They could be more than useful.
Pokemon could be more useful apart from battling. Electric type could power buildings, water types could help firefighters and life guards, plant types could look after the environment, and so on. Although they will need rest and refreshment now and then.

Con 5: The down side of usefulness.
Sadly there is always a downside with everything. Pokemon could be useful for those who want to help others. But what about those who don't. Terrorists and criminals would also use pokemons to their advantages. Terror attacks would have more horrifying results. We could have our own Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Galatica, or Team Flare on our hands.

Results:
Well it would be nice if pokemon were real. I would have so much fun with them. But then again I have to take into account the downsides of them being as well. But what do you think? Leave a comment below and tell me what do you think about pokemon being real?

Batmanmarch. A review.

Batmanmarch.

Batmanmarch is a YouTube channel dedicated to Doctor who. On the channel you can find reviews of toys, games, episodes, and many other things that are Doctor who based (although there are Batman and Masters of the Universe stuff to be found as well). But it's mainly a channel where Matthew Toffolo (with the help from his friends and relatives) create whole new Doctor who adventures with the latest action figures. They are very good and deserve to be watched by all. You really get the feeling that these are ether ideas that never made it to production or Big Finish fan fiction. What is really ironic that they kept these adventures as original as possible. Which is why you don't see Patrick Troughton's doctor meeting the Cybermen from Matt Smith's time. And like I said before Matthew also did some Batman and some Masters of the Universe ones as well (although I would like to see an epic hour long special where Jon Pertwee's doctor and U.N.I.T teaming up with He-man and his friends when Skeletor and his forces invade Earth). Anyway the adventures are great and you should watch them. And these are my top six  favourite ones.

Doctor: Jon Pertwee.

Story: The doctor, Jo Grant, and U.N.I.T investigate the disappearances of scientists all through out England. And discover that two of the doctor's enemies had teamed up and have plans for a local power station.

No 4. The Dalek Contagion.

Doctor: Jon Pertwee.

Story: After landing on a plague ridden planet, the doctor decides to help out the last remaining inhabitants in trying to find a cure. But then things get worse when he discovers who's behind it all.

No 3. Screams in the Darkness.

Doctor: Colin Baker.

Story: The TARDIS picks up a distress signal from a space station orbiting Jupiter. So the doctor and Peri set out to help who ever had sent it. The space station turns out to be an insane asylum and it's patients are disappearing without a trace.

No 2. The Ten Doctors.

Doctor: William Hartnell to David Tennant.

Valentines special

My date with Kurumu.

Gary Matrix stood at the edge of the forest early that evening. The sun was setting over the trees, giving it a glowing red look. Gary sighed and looked at his watch for the sixth time. Half past five. "She is running late" he thought to himself "I could never understand that girl" Gary had been waiting for an hour and a half now and he was getting a little annoyed. This wasn't the first time that his was kept waiting. He was just about to phone her to see if she is alright when he heard the familiar flap, flap of wings. Gary looked up to see his date flying towards him. "I'm sorry I am late Gary" Kurumu said landing next to him "I missed the bus and had to fly here" The nineteen year old girl with blue hair retracted her wings under her tight jumper and adjusted her long socks. "Well I'm glad that you're here Kurumu" Gary said smiling "I was about to give up. Now we can get going on our date. Oh and by the way these are for you" Gary handed her a bunch of flowers and a Valentines day card. "Thank you Gary" Kurumu said taking them from him. She read the card as they walked along the dusty path back to town. It was getting late now and the night was closing in. Kurumu loved her card and showed it by holding onto Gary's arm as they walked into town. It would be a lie if Gary said that he didn't like it.

"So where first?" Gary said "It's your treat so you get to decide where to go" "Lets start with dinner" Kurumu said "flying really make you hungry" "Ok then" Gary said and they went off to the restaurant. After they were shown to their table (a quiet corner table where they were alone), they ordered their drinks. "Gary?" Kurumu said as the waiter went to get their drinks "may I ask you something?" "Sure" Gary said "what is it?" "How long have we been seeing each other?" Kurumu said "err.... about three weeks now" Gary said thinking "I could remember that it was a Tuesday that we met....." "Gary!" Kurumu said "be serious please. Yes we have been dating for three weeks but that's not the point. I am a succubus. A female demon that lures males with their attractiveness and then (after a long night of passion) eats them alive. I told you this when we went out the third time. Doesn't that make you feel strange?" Gary thought for a bit when the waiter brought over their drinks. After the waiter had left, he said "Kurumu. The fact that you're a succubus doesn't make me feel weird. I had always admired you as a wonderful person. I never known how much you meant to me until that time I rescued you from that minotaur" "Hey!" Kurumu said "I was doing fine until you showed up. I got that giant freak where I wanted" "Kurumu, he had your head under his foot!" Gary said "he was about to crush it until I ran up and knocked him off his feet" "Well I did say thank you didn't I?" Kurumu said. Gary paused and then said "yes you did" They sipped their drinks in silence for a while. Then Kurumu said "it was kind of you to protect me like that. You managed to distract it long enough for me to get to safety. While Tsukune was rescuing Moka" She said that last bit with a slight anger in her voice. "Well she was trapped under a tree" Gary said "he couldn't leave her like that" "Yeah but I was in more danger than her!" Kurumu said "When he went to rescue Moka, I lost all respect for all men. But then you came and saved me. You made me realise that not all men are bad"  Kurumu reached over and hold Gary's hand. "Gary.... I love you" she said. Her cheeks going red with embarrassment. Gary felt embarrassed too. This was the first time in his life that a girl had said this to him. What should he say in return? Then he knew what to say. "Kurumu..... I love you too" he said smiling. He lent forward and kissed Kurumu on her hand (making her blush even redder). They then ordered their food and spent the rest of the time chatting about resent events in their lives.

After their meal, they went to a nightclub and danced the night away. Kurumu was a great dancer and practically swept Gary off his feet. This was the most wonderful time in both of their lives. Then came the moment that they were dreading. The time for them to go home. Gary decided to walk Kurumu back to Yokai academy. Gary was one of a few humans who know of the academy's existence and had kept it a secret from the rest of the world. As they walked, they continued to talk. "Thank you for a lovely time Gary" Kurumu said "Hey it's alright" Gary said "anything for my girl" "Gary please!" Kurumu said half giggling "I'm too embarrassed as it is". They continued to walk for a long time until Kurumu asked "Do you want to take our relationship to the next level Gary?" Gary looked at her. She was so beautiful in the moon light. "I thought we already are? Aren't we?" Kurumu looked at her boyfriend. "I feel like we are" she said "but I want to know what you think. Should we or not?" Gary thought about it. And then said "I think I will like that". Kurumu smiled and (with a sudden burst of excitement and energy) leapt onto Gary and began to make out with him. Poor Gary was pinned up against a tree. But then he gave in and began to kiss her too. They kissed for a long time. Then they stopped and they continued towards Yokai academy. Which was now in sight. After several more steps, they reached the girls dorm. "I'm afraid I have finals to study for the rest of the month Gary" Kurumu said "but afterwards I am free. So how about another date some time next month?" "Certainly" Gary said "I'll be looking forward to it". "Well see yah" Kurumu said and (after kissing Gary again) she went inside. Gary watched her go inside and then went on his way. Gary and Kurumu were definitely an item and very soon they will be a couple. Gary loved Kurumu and she loved him back. And that is why we have Valentines Day. So that we can show how much we love our loved ones.

Happy Valentines day everyone.

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 14

Epilogue:

In the far off distant future of the next millennium, there was a gigantic city. A city that was built years after the apocalypse. But this city was that of peace and tranquillity. This city was called Crystal Tokyo. And it was the capital of the world. Many of the buildings were futuristic in their design and even the transport was futuristic. But was most impressive was the crystal palace. Looking like shards of pinkish purple crystals, it can be located in the centre of the kingdom. And that is where the now grown up Serena and Darien lived with their daughter Rini. Also located at random places in the city are similar crystal palaces. But these were smaller and simpler than the main palace. These four are of different colours. One green, one orange, one red, and one blue. These are the homes of the other sailor scouts. Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina (although since Lita married the now King Midnight, she had to keep going in-between ruling a kingdom and serving a kingdom). And as you guessed, Ami lived in the blue crystal palace with Gary (who was now her husband) and their two children Andre and Naoko. Even though it was the next millennium, Both Gary and Ami were alive and well. And also in their early thirties (due to a fact that there was a mystical element in the air that made everyone immortal). 

One late afternoon, Gary was teaching Andre (who also went by the name Alex. Due to the fact the most of his teachers and friends can't pronounce French names) the ways of being a puppeteer. “You’re really getting the hang of it” he said as Andre managed to make his puppet dance “some more lessons and you’ll be ready when we perform for Rini’s birthday” “Thank you dad” Andre said "but I don't think that I am ever going to be as good as you are" "Hey come on Andre" Gary said "you are getting there. I mean this is the ninth time you didn't give up half way through. And also the fourth time that you didn't storm off in a temper. I'm proud of you. But son you don't have to do the same job as me. You can be what ever you want" Andre looked at his father. "Thank you dad" he said smiling "but I do want to become an entertainer just like you. I see the happiness on your face when you perform at the theatre. When you make the audience either laugh or cry or gasp. I also want to do that for people. I mean it's either that or become a doctor like mum. But I don't want to poke around peoples insides" "I understand Andre" Gary said "it also makes me feel queasy. Especially after she went into great details about a heart transplant that she had to perform on Darien" he shuddered at the thought. From a shelf just overlooking them, Gary’s puppets looked down at Gary and his son. Yes every one of them are still alive and intact. Blade, Pin-Head, Six-Shooter, Torch, Tunneler, Jester, Miss Leech, General Cyclops, Doctor Death, Nurse Mercury, and Ninja were given the freedom to walk about the palace and the shelf was now their new home. Only the Decapitron wasn’t present (only because it was deactivated) and sadly Oracle was no longer with them. 

After half an hour Andre’s lesson was over and Gary took his son to the kitchen for a milkshake. As they walked along the hallway, the front doors opened and Ami (now sporting a short ponytail and glasses)  and Naoko walked in. “Hello you two” Gary said seeing them entering “how have you been?” “Great thank you” Ami said “we’ve got some news for you!” “Really?!” Gary said “what is it?” “Tell them Naoko” Ami said. “I’ve past!” Naoko said “I’ve past my final test!” “Really?!” Gary said “how wonderful!” “Yes it is!” Ami said “now Naoko is a member of the Junior Sailor Scouts” She then looked down to congratulate her daughter again, only to notice that she was beginning to cry. “Oh darling what’s the matter?” she said hugging her. “Has it been too much for you?” Gary said. Naoko looked at her father and nodded. “Andre why don’t you take your sister into the living room and play a game or something?” Gary said to Andre “I’ll bring you both a milkshake each” “Ok dad” Andre said and he led Naoko to the living room. 

“You’ve handled that very well” Ami said closing the front doors. “Yeah my father did the same thing” Gary said. Then he and Ami secretly had a kiss in the hallway. "I've got something for you" Gary said feeling around in his top coat pocket. Ami looked on as her husband brought out a small velvet case. "Happy anniversary honey" Gary said handing it over to her. Ami opened it to find a blue crystal neckless inside. "Oh my god Gary this must have cost you a fortune!" she said "and you remembered as well!" She threw herself on Gary and hugged him tightly. "Happy anniversary too Gary" she said "I'm sorry but I was the one to forget this year. I'll make us a perfect dinner to make up for it" "No need" Gary said "I have booked us a table at Le Cigare Volante for dinner. Then perhaps we could take a romantic stroll in the park afterwoulds?" "That's wonderful Gary" Ami said "but what about Andre and Naoko?" "I asked Mina and Itachi and they said that they would be happy to babysit for us" Gary said. Ami felt tears in her eyes. "You are such a wonderful person Gary" she said hugging Gary again "I knew I did the right thing in marrying you and having your children" She kissed Gary more passionately and then said “well if it’s alright for you, I’m going to have a shower before getting ready” She smiled and went on her way. As she walked she then said “and no peaking you two” before heading upstairs. Gary looked to see Blade and Pin-Head peering round the corner. Obviously Ami was talking to them. Gary laughed and then went off to get his children their milkshakes. That was basically what life’s was like since Ami met Gary. And to be completely honest, life couldn’t be happier.

The End

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 13

Chapter 13: All’s well that ends well:

The dust settled as the last remains of the warehouse collapsed into rubble. The battle was over. The battle was won. Everything was still and quiet. Until a hand shot out from the rubble. Ami forced herself out from the rubble and surveyed the damage. The warehouse was now dust and broken bricks. The explosion also cause several other warehouses some damaged too. But not as much. She staggered to her feet as the others began to emerge from the rubble. “Is everyone ok?” Mina asked “I’m a bit battered and bruised” Lita said “but I’m ok”. Ami stood there looking at everyone. Mina, Lita, Rei, Darien, and even Serena (who was back to normal) were all managing to get themselves free from the rubble and stagger away from the damages. Ami had a feeling that there was something missing. Then it hit her. “Where’s Gary?” she asked. “Gary?” Rei said “Oh my god I’ve forgotten about him. He must be still under the rubble!” Upon hearing this, Ami started to search for Gary. Flinging piles of rubble everywhere. Everyone else help in searching too. After a long time they’ve almost given up until Ami noticed something. An arm sticking out from the rubble. “GARY!” she screamed as she ran over and begun to dig under the rubble. She struggled to lift heavy pieces of brick and stone until she managed to reach Gary. She then managed to pulled him out of the rubble and (with the help from the others) carried him to a safe place far from the collapsed warehouse. Gary was laid down and Ami knelt by his side. She began to check his pulse and to see if there wasn’t any broken bones or internal wounds. Thankfully he still had his pulse and there weren’t any damages. "Is he going to be ok?" Serena said knelling beside Ami. "I hope so" Ami said "I really don't want him to be hurt" “You really care about him don’t you?” Serena said. Ami looked at her and said “yes I do. He is the only one who stood by me when you and the others weren’t speaking to me. He cheered me up, comfort me, and gave me the care and attention like that of a friend. And then our feelings for each other grew until we fell in love for each other! We love each other just as much as you and Darien” She began to cry “now I wish that he just wake up” Tears began to fall down her face and fall onto Gary’s face. Then slowly his eyes opened. “Hey” he asked “why the tears?” Ami couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Gary?!" she said "you're alright!" "Of course I am" Gary said grinning "I'm from England. Therefore I am indestructible!" he added jokingly. Ami was over joyed and hugged her boyfriend who happily hugged her back.

Everyone gathered around them as Ami helped Gary to sit up. “Gary” Serena said “all of us here own you an apology. We are so sorry that we declared you a member of the negaveres. With everything that’s happening we just didn’t think……” she stopped talking when Gary put up his hand. “Even though you’ve said some hurtful things Serena” he said “You are forgiven. And so is everyone else” “Thank you Gary” Rei said “I must say that your puppets are amazingly impressive. Especially their fighting skills…….” “Oh my god! My puppets!” Gary said “they must be still under the rubble!” He tried to get up but Ami stopped him “You are in no condition to shift rubble Gary” she said “you need to rest!” “But I can’t leave them!” Gary said “They were left to me by my grandfather and I was trusted to look after them! I have to help them!” “I know that Gary” Ami said “but not now. Just rest and we’ll look for them later” “I don’t think we have to” Darien said pointing towards the rubble. Everyone looked as to their amazement, Gary’s puppets began to emerge from the rubble. Blade, Torch, Pin-Head, Jester, Six-Shooter, Miss Leech, Tunneler, General Cyclops, Ninja, and even the Decapitron. All of them were alright. Gary was happy as they walked out from the ruined warehouse and towards him and the others. “Thank you my friends” he said as they gathered around him “you did well” And as everyone looked on, the puppets hugged their master. “You’ve led them well Gary” the Decapitron said. And then (to everyone’s amazement) its head morphed into that of an old man in his late fifties. With silvery white hair and beard. “The evil we’ve faced today has been defeated” he said “you lot have fought bravely. Well most of you have” Lita, Rei, and Mina didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry. “I’m glad that my grandson has found great friends and allies” Andre Toulon said “and a lover I believe?” Ami nodded in agreement. “You Ami Mizuno,” Andre said “have taken the oath that you’ll keep my family’s secret. I must ask that your friends also take the oath as well. And I take it that Gary will keep your secret too?” Gary nodded in agreement. “Sir I will keep your grandson’s secret safe” Serena said “we all will” Darian added. Andre smiled and then said “Then I’ll leave feeling happy that our legacy will continue for millennia onwards. I am with you Puppet Master. And I am with you too Sailor Moon” And with that his head morphed back into the Decapitron. And then collapsed face down on the ground. “Is he alright?” Mina said “It’s ok Mina” Gary said “his energy has run out. He won’t be coming back until we need him again” Gary then got up and picked up the puppet. "Thank you grandfather" he said quietly. “Come on everyone” Serena said “let’s go home”. “Ok Serena” Lita said “but first….” She then wondered over to Blade, and then violently kicked him. The surprised puppet flew for yards until hitting the ground with a loud thud. “Now we’re even!” Lita said seeing the shock look on the others faces.

They made it back to Gary’s apartment just before dawn. Luna and Artemis had come over when they noticed that their friends had returned. Mina and Rei told them about the battle that just happened and their reactions were mixed. Luna and Artemis were both horrified that they took on a creature from the negaveres without their powers and disappointed that they weren’t contacted and had been there to help them. But at least that the evil was gone for good. The rest of the month went smoothly. Ami decided to stay permanently at Gary’s apartment and had lent her old one to a new student. She and Gary then settled down together with Gary’s puppets. Come Christmas day, Gary invited Serena, Darien, Mina, Lita, and Rei over for Christmas dinner and a party. Even though they didn’t celebrate Christmas, Ami happily told them about the holiday and they all enjoyed the food and the fun. But what they especially enjoyed were the presents that Gary and Ami had brought them. Serena got a silver neckless, Darien got a white scarf, Rei got an elephant plushy, Lita got a pair of silk gloves, and Mina got a small basket of chocolates. Ami meanwhile was given the dress that Lita had brought for her and Gary was given a ring with a symbol of a crescent moon on it. This (Gary was told) was given to those who are friends and loyalist to the Moon Kingdom. And Gary accepted it with great pride. Luna and Artemis also had a reason to feel happy as well. Because Luna just had her kittens. All nine of them. They were all slivery grey with the crescent moon on all of their heads (the same as on Gary’s ring). Luna and Artemis also had apologised to Gary and Ami for what they said. Ami and Gary accepted their apologies and were even told that they can have one of the kittens. The one they chose was a boy with greyish eyes. Which Gary named Icarus.

Afterwards the party was over. Everyone had now gone home and Gary and Ami cleaned up the apartment. Gary’s puppets also helped and after they put Icarus to bed, Gary was left to sweep up. His puppets had gone back to the trunk (they like to sleep there) and Ami had disappeared into her room. Gary swept up a lot of confetti, used crackers, and party hats. He binned them and was just putting his broom away, when he then heard the radio being switched on and tuned to a soft mellow number. Gary went into the lounge to see Ami (wearing the blue dress) diming the lights. “At last” she said turning to face him “we are finally alone” Smiling she offered Gary her hand. Smiling too, he took it and they slowly danced together. As they danced, they hold each other close. Ami laid her head on Gary’s chest and Gary gently stroked her hair. “I’ve always wanted to do this” Ami said “to dance with a guy who I’m in love with. I just get this empty feeling when I see Serena and Darien together. In fact Mina, Lita, and Rei also get the feeling as well” “You lot deserve someone in your lives” Gary said “Well we almost did” Ami said “You see Darien did have some generals at his command when the Moon Kingdom was at its height. Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite. They were going to hitch up with me, Lita, Mina, and Rei but they betrayed us to Queen Beryl. They are now dead but they can be summoned if Darien wants it. But because of their betrayal they can never have a physical form again” “So you’re saying that I may have competition?” Gary said concerned “No Gary” Ami said “They are long gone. And Zoisite the one who was meant for me turned out to be gay. And besides Lita has Prince Midnight of the Nightmare Kingdom (I’ll tell you some other time) and I have you” They gazed into each other’s eyes and then kissed. They kissed for a long time. Then Ami lent forwards and whispered into Gary’s ear “Gary Matrix.
