=o==o==o==o==o==o==o==o= Because I have nothing better to do Productions An Eldrick Tobin project From "It makes sense in my head" Theater In Association with Never Challenge A Pervert Inc. "Flowering Romance" A Shojou Kakumei Utena story that never was... Part 6 A: Did you hear? B: Hear what? A: Someone found a copy of the original. B: What was in it what was in it?! A: There are extra pages... B: Really? A: Really. B: What's on them? A: Here's a copy... read it for yourself. B: I don't know I'm satisfied with the story thus far. A: It's even more romantic with these extra pages. B: Really? A: Really. C: It's also sappier. *reading the addendum* B: Then I'll read it! *pauses* Oh that's exactly what I was hoping would happen! Wait this page says something totally different. C: Multiple Endings are sappy. Vacant except for a large collection to children's balls in the colors of all the flowers in the Rose Garden... it looks like a giant game of marbles is being played... only the thing is only the balls near duelist and supporting cast members seems to be reacting to anything with the other balls seemingly nailed in place. A grey ball with a W on it smacks into a white one, whirling with it for a moment before the white ball slowly rolls towards a purple one. The Grey one with the W on it then begins bouncing after a peach colored smaller ball. As that is happening a creamy beige ball is kicked in from off scene... it bounces amongst the unmoving balls before stopping within the influence of the orange one. The scene changes again to the upperhallway by the Rose Garden> Juri Arisugawa stepped away from the boy who had told her what she needed to know. The medium blond lad scampered quickly away with his prize for the information. "Arisugawa-sama's autograph!" he was heard to say to himself over and over. The Autographer was not best pleased with the information she had... regardless that it was spot on. "I wasn't even close." That was all she said before turning and moving with purpose off screen. Below Anthy closed the Rose Garden door. In her hands was a plastic bag with a few sheets of paper hastily shoved into it before for all intents someone had tried to bury it. "Chu-chu... let's show this to Utena-sama. It should cheer her up." Chu-chu now with the bag tied to his back gave a proud,"CHU!" before catching up to his mistress. "Page 199... almost done..." says Tenjou as she leans over the wall of the bridge reading in the book with a steady tone of pink in her cheeks. "Maybe when I'm done all these troublesome emotions will be done with me. 'But for the cruel hour approaches one thing shall solace bring me. When next life I have I, I shall seek you out... and perhaps then we shall be happy.'" "But of course Utena-sama," says Anthy suddenly to her side. Utena almost drops the book but manages to snag it... however one page falls from the binding. She can't reach it and it falls into the water and washes away with the current. "I'll have to borrow your copy Himemiya... I've lost my final page... I don't know how it ends now." Anthy smiled her smile before picking up Chu-chu who handed over the plastic bag. "What's this Himemiya?" "The author tried to bury some alternative endings in the Garden. Chu-chu's friend found them while trying to catch a fly. I haven't read them really... I simply glanced at the first page,'Alternate Endings: 1 of 6 (DH=President, DO=Vice President)'" "Touga as the Dashing Heroine? Saionji-sempai as the Dear One? No wonder it was buried," Utena halfheartedly opened the ziplock bag and pulled the pages out. Her Bride took the empty bag from her and tossed it over the edge of the bridge,"Himemiya!" Anthy smiled her smile and pointed to a middle schooler fishing it out of the water and putting it into her garbage bag. The girl waved her pole up at them in thanks before dashing off. "Sorry I yelled." "It's alright Utena-sama." "No... I reacted to fast." "Your reflexes are why you do so well in sports, Utena-sama." "That's... not... what I..." her eyes glanced at the second sheet,"'(DH=Kozue,' And ... Miki?" "It would be cute Utena-sama. Twins in love." "Yeah I suppose... This one's interesting... Nanami and Mitsuru-kun." "Oh my." "Hey... one's missing... 6 of 6 is missing." "Are you going to read them now, Utena-sama?" Utena has part way into one with Juri and some person named Shiori without realizing it,"Sorry... I just didn't know who the other person was, and was trying to figure it out." "It's alright Utena-sama," Himemiya pulled down the edge of the last page to read the principles,"My my... look at this Utena-sama." Utena was struck silent for a moment before saying,"This one's... us?" "Hai, Utena-sama." -------- End part 6. Was anyone expecting that? The missing pages with multiple endings thing? I almost did that once with something I'm currently still adding chapters to.
