Series One Episode Eighteen Abira88 was taking a break in her room in front of the TV, watching reruns of The Powderpuff Chias. She watched as Princess (a snobbish rich Chia not unlike Abbie herself) drew up a plan to capture the chias - something along the lines of, "Get big net. Drop net on Powderpuff Chias. Zap Powderpuff Chias with ray gun. Powderpuff Chias die. I am the only powerful Chia in Citysville! Hahahahaha!" "The plan sucks," Abbie murmured to herself, "but still, the kid has spunk...hey, wait a second!" She whipped out a piece of paper and a pencil, rewound the tape to where it was showing the plans, and carefully copied them down. "So...we are going to use a net," said Dr. Sloth, studying the plans. "That's what it says. Duh." "And drop it on the Sailor NeoPets?" "Duh again." "I see. Have you considered the fact that a quick Lupe Lunge would slice through any material in my vast array?" "What good is a vast array if a Lupe Lunge will destroy all of it?" "My point is this," Sloth continued. "For this plan to work, you must find a material that is so thick, strong, and resistant that it will hold out against the supernatural strength of the other Sailor NeoPets." "So use your stupid huge computers. There must be something about a strong material." "And it is revealed that the clumsy soldier DOES have a brain in her head," snapped Sloth. "See? It isn't that hard to use." He turned to one of the myriad huge computers nearby and began typing. *clickclickclickclickclick* "Any luck?" *clickclickclickclick-ding!* "Well, well. It would appear that there is in fact a material that fits the criteria of your ludicrous plan. The fur of JubJubs is incredibly resistant... provided you can collect enough, of course." Sloth handed Abbie the paper that she'd copied the plans onto. "However, I doubt the merit of your plan. You must be running low on ideas if you are copying them from the PowderPuff Chias." Abbie looked down at the paper. She'd forgotten to change "PowderPuff
Chias" to "Sailor NeoPets". Oops.
Chia had just left the house, with three new JubJubs in her sack, when Jody returned with a shopping bag. She dropped it on the kitchen counter and looked around for her JubJubs. "Sun Drop! Rain Drop! Ferboll! Joogle!" Only the green Ferboll answered her call, running into the kitchen. At first Jody didn't notice anything wrong. Then she saw how Ferboll was acting. He was very upset, shaking like a leaf in the wind. "Everybody got taken by the freaky evil lady!" he wailed. "Joogle and Sunny and Rainy got taken!" Jody was glad she'd set down the groceries already, because otherwise she would have dropped them now. "What? ...Who? Where did they go?" "Come on come on come on! She just left!" exclaimed Ferboll, taking off. He ran out the front door and down the street with Jody close behind. As they passed some large brick buildings, Ferboll stopped. "In here!" he exclaimed, and turned into an alley. At the end of the alley, preparing to teleport back to the space station with her load, was Sailor Chia - the "freaky evil lady" who had been capturing JubJubs all around. "Stop!" screamed Jody. "Drop the bag!" Sailor Chia turned around. "Who's going to make me?" Ferboll bravely dashed forward and bit her wrist. Chia screamed and dropped the bag, which the JubJubs inside then wriggled out of. "Why you little-! I'm gonna-" "You will do nothing," Jody interrupted as the rainbow of JubJubs poured from the seemingly bottomless bag (actually it was bottomless, thanks to some tricky Chaos magic, but that's not the point) and ran over to hide behind her. Jody recognized her own pets among the rainbow. "You've kidnapped my pets. You're a criminal. I'll call the Chia Police to pick you up." "Like you'll get away with that," Sailor Chia laughed. "I'm Sailor Chia. I have no trouble dealing with them." Jody charged at Sailor Chia, sneakers pounding on the hard dirt as she shot towards the aptly named "freaky evil lady". She never got there, of course - with a high giggle, Sailor Chia laughed, "Chia Giggle!" Orange energy shot from her hands and threw Jody backwards... ...into the huge pile of JubJubs! "Who put those there?" demanded Chia angrily. Jody grimaced and began struggling to get up off of the balls of fur that she had landed amongst. She was almost up when she lost her hold and fell back into them. "Arrgh!" she growled in frustration. At that moment, a large ornate wine glass (with a cap) appeared in front of Jody. It was floating in the air, but once she noticed it, it floated down to land in her hands. "Odd. Wonder what's inside," Jody murmured as she opened the cap to see a strange looking pen: red and orange with a pair of wings on the top and a circle set with the letter N. "Ooh ooh ooh!" exclaimed Sailor Chia. "The Sacred Chalice! I bet that would have all the energy the Chaos Faerie needs!" She charged forward, trying to grab it. The Chalice vanished quickly once Jody had taken hold of the pen. Going too fast to stop, Chia flew forward and catapulted into the pile of JubJubs, right on top of Jody. "Get off!" Jody shouted as she was thrust down further into the pile. She clutched the pen she'd gotten, and words flew unexpectedly (well, unexpectedly for her, expected for you) into her head. "JubJub Neo Power, Make Up!" The resulting explosion of power tossed Sailor Chia backwards and left Jody standing up in a red and orange sailor fuku. "How can you be a sailor?" she demanded. "How? What is it with my bad luck?" "Ah..." Jody, now Sailor JubJub, stood unsteadily in front of the JubJub pile. "I don't know. What do I do now?" Chia, who had been struggling to her feet, suddenly laughed. "You don't know what to do? Wonderful! Now prepare to be severely injured by MY most devastating attack: Chia..." Attack? Suddenly Sailor JubJub knew what to say. "JubJub..." The air around her suddenly looked fuzzy, and her figure blurred. "Chaos..." "...Fuzz!" The air condensed into a ball of red-orange fuzz between her widespread hands, and Sailor JubJub raised it above her head and flung it at Sailor Chia. Before she could finish her attack, Chia was hit by an explosion of fuzz. She nearly choked as it filled her nose and throat. "Ack!" moaned Chia as she coughed and spit. "Yuck!" She fell back to her knees and vanished, grabbing her sack just before she left. "Sailor NeoPet, Sailor NeoPet!" chanted Ferboll. "You're a Sailor NeoPet, Jody!" "My owner said the Sailor NeoPets are heroes!" said a tiny purple JubJub. "My owner said they were mean," an older striped JubJub countered. "I'm certainly not mean," said Sailor JubJub, unconsciously shifting back to plain Jody, "but I guess I am a hero. I just saved all of your lives, remember. Will you keep my secret?" "Of course!" "Yes!" "Sure!" "No problem!" "Will do!" "Yeah!" "Okay!" chorused the JubJubs. They then left for their respective houses, and Jody led all her pets happily home. "Back so soon?" asked Sloth, raising an eyebrow questioningly, as Sailor Chia staggered in. "I got...some fur *cough* but I didn't *spit* get enough...JubJubs...for a good *koff* net...because of this *ptoo* new sailor...she had *hack* a fuzzy attack...yuck..." spat Chia, trying desperately to get all the fuzz out of her mouth. "Well, at least I finished my checklist," Sloth said with a smile, holding out a notepad. "Here, you can fill it out." Chia looked at the pad. "Find JubJubs...check...capture JubJubs...check...obtain JubJub fur...check...meet new sailor...check...run away from new sailor...hey!" She held up the checklist in outrage. "What's this here for? How could you have known there was going to be a new sailor there?" "Oh, just a hunch...considering there ALMOST ALWAYS IS! Where did you get such bad luck? Why can't you ever be unobtrusive enough to avoid them?" "Well, sorry," Chia snapped. "It isn't like it's my fault." "So much for your 'brilliant' plan," said Sloth sarcastically. "Oh, and by the way...maybe you should try to think up your own plans, instead of copying from the PowderPuff Chias, eh?" Chia threw up her hands and stalked out in a huff. "Maybe if my boss had the brains to think up his own plans, I wouldn't be left on my own," she mumbled just loud enough so that Sloth could hear her. "Go to your room, young lady," he snapped. "What are you? My father?" "No...I'm your boss, and I just happen to have several high-tech guns with various effects including instant death. So unless you want to be my next lab rat, I suggest you leave. Now." Abbie left. Sloth sighed and turned to his desk to compose a neomail to the Chaos Faerie: "Is this really the best you can do in the way of minions?..." Jody was carrying her pets into their bedroom, which was of course knee-deep in Fuzzles of all colors. Suddenly Joogle123 jumped from his perch on her arm, and as she struggled to balance herself, Rain_Drop_54 fell from her shoulder. She brought up her leg to catch the blue JubJub, but when Sun_Drop_45 decided to hop up to her head, she lost the one shred of balance that remained and toppled into the Fuzzles. "A normal end," Jody remarked as she shooed her JubJubs off to bed, "for a very unusual day!" |
