"Minako-chan!  Why are you playing video games now?!?!" Usagi fumed.
	"Well... um... you see, going to Rei's house to study isn't important
right now..."
	Usagi clenched a fist angrily.  "You came here..."
	"Uh, yeah..."
	"...to an arcade..."
	"You see, it's important..."
	"...without ME?!?!"
	Minako sweatdropped.  "Uh, yeah.  I found out something really important 
about the arcade!"  Her voice dropped to a whisper.  "It's
senshi business."
	"Wha- tell me, tell me!!"
	Minako leaned close.  "The authors won't dare come near this place!
We're completely free as long as we stay in here and play video games!"
	"Really?  Wai, wai!"  The two blond-haired senshi sat down at
a racing game and started driving.  "Look, I'm so good at this game!  I
haven't crashed once!"
	There was a long silence filled with sweatdrops.  Minako pointed
to the flashing words on the screen: Please insert a coin.  
	"Um... excuse me..."	
	Usagi forgot the insult she was about to give her supposed friend
when both turned to face a blond-haired boy looking down at them.  The two
girls sighed as he spoke.  His eyes were like huge shiny lakes, and he spoke 
with roses in the background.  "Can I..."
	Minako spoke up first.  "I'll race with you!  I'm the one you want!
Let's see if you're any match for my grace and beauty!"
	The boy sweatdropped.  "Um... okay..."  Minako sent Usagi flying 
out of her seat, then went back to acting graceful towards the boy.
	"Ready... set... go!"  Minako started out fast, but sweatdropped
when her opponent sped past her.  "Hey!" she cried.  "You're supposed to be
nice to girls and give them a handicap!"
	"But I'm..."
	Minako furiously turned on the guy to cover up the fact that she was 
losing big time.  "It's your responsibility as a guy to be kind to ladies!
What kind of a man are you anyway?!?!"
	"Haruka!"  The boy sweatdropped as a green-haired girl pulled him
from his seat.  "You're not chasing after other girls, are you?"
	"Um... no... not exactly..."
	"Come on, then, you shouldn't be wasting money on those two.  Every
penny saved is another penny for me."  The senshi sweatdropped as Haruka
was dragged away.  

	"How do we know that they're going to show up?  They were asking 
for a lot of money, you know," Michelle said.
	"Well, I'm not going in there!" Meeshy and Cheryl nervously replied.
	"Come ON!  We're the all-powerful SM:TMT authors!  We're not going
to let some stupid arcade episode stop us from causing doom and destruction,
are we?"  She pulled out her BiC pen and started drawing in mid-air.  
Suddenly, two figures appeared in mid air.  Minako and Usagi fell to the
ground with a crash.
	"I thought you said we were SAFE from these guys!"
	"They wouldn't come near it!  But I didn't think they could actually
use those pens of theirs to draw us in!"
	Usagi thought this over for a long moment, then gave everyone a
HUGE shock.  "Wouldn't that mean that there are duplicates of us, then?"
	The authors went pale with shock and gasped.  Minako, with a dreadful
look in her eyes, quickly stepped back.  All stared at the girl with shock
and horror.
	"Oh my God!  Michelle, what the @#?! did you do??"
	"I didn't do anything!  I just drew her in!"
	"What did you do, decide to make her smarter or something!  We'll
be ruined!  She'll actually figure out how to beat all the bad guys and
we'll be out of a job!"
	"And if she's right... there's TWO Sailor Moons walking around 
Tokyo..."
	Usagi broke into a grin.  "Two Usagis?  Great, all you need is to 
draw another Mamo-chan or two..."
	Another gasp of shock and horror.  "Two Usagis... two Mamorus... 
that means there could be TWICE as many Chibi-Usas!!!"  The three authors
suddenly disappeared. 
	Minako clung even more tightly to the stranger whose arms she'd
jumped in.  "She- she said the C word..."
	Haruka gasped.  "The C word?  Hey, they shouldn't be using language
like that around young ladies!"  
	Minako froze and sweatdropped when she recognized the voice.  "Ah-
it's.. you."
	"Um... yeah."
	"Oh, I forgot to ask you something!  Are you married?"
	The boy sweatdropped.  "Um, no..."
	"You're engaged?  Secret lovers?  Like this?"  Minako forgot about 
her shock and started acting with Usagi while Haruka sweatdropped even more. 
"Usako..." she said in a deep voice.
	"Mina-chan..." Usagi answered, acting like a pair of lovers.
	"My god... they're actually acting more gay than you!" a voice
said from behind.  (~_~;; -Cheryl)
	Haruka cringed.  "Ah- Michiru..."

	The SM:TMT authors huddled behind a tree as they watched Michiru
beating the crap out of Haruka.  "We've got to do something!" Meeshy 
whispered.
	"Well, we need to get rid of that extra Sailor Moon somehow..."  
Cheryl said.
	"We'll help you!"  The authors shrank back as Mercury, Mars, and
Jupiter suddenly appeared behind them.  "We are the allies of justice!"
	"It's not fair that there should be TWO of her, much less even one
Usagi running around in the world!" Mars said.
	"I'll do anything to get more air time!  And if it means fighting
Sailor Moon and getting her out of the anime... well, even more the better!"
Jupiter cried.
	"Having a duplicate of yourself and taking up more air time... that
I cannot forgive.  In the name of Mercury, I will right all wrongs and get
more air time for myself!  MWAHAHAHAHA!!"
	The authors sweatdropped while the senshi continued to pose and show
off.  Finally they just got fed up with it all, took out their mallets, and
sent the senshi flying.  (Well, who wouldn't? -Cheryl)
	"Okay, so what should we do for this episode?  No one's following
the script anymore!" Michelle cried in exasperation, as she looked over at
the brawling pair.
	"Um... did we have a bad guy in this episode yet?" Meeshy asked.
	All three authors sweatdropped.  "Rats, I KNEW I forgot something!"
Cheryl said.  "Oh well, now's our chance!"  She reached offstage and yanked
a woman into the screen.  "What is it now?!?!  I was on coffee break!"
Kaolinite demanded.
	"Um... well, we have a special, special mission for you!"
	"Yeah, that's it!  It's something only YOU can do!"
	"Sure, right!"
	"Okay... so what is it?" she asked.
	"You need to get a heart crystal and take care of that girl there!"
Cheryl said, pointing at Usagi.
	"Sailor Moon?  Oh, come on, she's too laughable to be a bother."
	The authors grabbed Kaolinite and held her close.  "But she's NOT
the same stupid Sailor Moon we used to know!  She suddenly became SMART when
Michelle drew her in!"
	Kaolinite gasped and paled.  "She... oh, my God!"  She reached over 
and grabbed a bystander off the sidewalk, a mechanic whose name was Kameda.
"Sorry, I need to borrow your heart crystal to save to world!"  With that,
she took the crystal and threw it at Usagi.
	Minako saw the crystal coming, and realized that it was going to hit
Usagi.  So, she ducked, and watched it satisfyingly whack the girl on the 
head, which gave a hollow echo.  "Nice throw!" Minako called to Kaolinite, 
waving to her.  The redhead smiled and joined the celebration of the authors 
with the defeat of Usagi.
	Michiru and Haruka had stopped fighting.  "Heart crystal..." Michiru
said, huge money signs forming in her eyes. 
	'With this crystal, I might be able to pay off some other girl
to get rid of Michiru...' Haruka thought.
	'With this crystal, I might be able to bribe some other rich girl
to get rid of Haruka...' Michiru thought.
	"Oh, no you don't!" Kameda shouted, interrupting their thoughts.
"This is MY heart crystal!  Now, bug off and get onto another episode or
something!"  He picked up the crystal and replaced it in his body, then
stalked off as everyone sweatdropped.
	The authors looked down at Usagi's body.  "I think she's gone."
	"Woo-hoo!" Minako cried.  "Now I get to be the star of the show!"
	"Hey, wait a second!" Usagi shouted, jumping to her feet as
everyone screamed.  "I'm Sailor Moon, so I'm the star of the show!"
	"Aren't you dead yet?!?!" Kaolinite screeched.
	"She's- she's like, inhuman or something!" Meeshy cried.
	"What's that?" Usagi said.  Everyone gasped.
	"That- that means, she's okay!  She's not smart or anything, and
the world is saved!  Wai!"  Everyone began celebrating again while Usagi
sweatdropped. 
	"Hey, wait a second, what do you mean?  I was afraid that there
might be a double of me running around or something, and I didn't want to
lose my air time, okay?!?!" Usagi announced.
	Everyone froze.  "Wha- then everything was okay to begin with?"
	"Yeah, what did you think?  And you DIDN'T have to whack me with
that stupid heart crystal, that hurt!"  She rubbed the bump on her sore
tenderly.
	Kaolinite and the authors backed away while sweatdropping.  "Um,
well, it was *his* idea," Meeshy said, pulling Mamoru, who had been taking
a walk, in front of them.
	"Grrr..."
	"What did I do?!?!?"

	Minako was depressed.  "It's been so long since I've seen my love...
the world seems grey and bleak, with no purpose..."  She wiped away a few
tears.
	"Give it up already!" Michelle snapped.  "You just saw Haruka a 
minute ago!"
	"But still..."
	Suddenly a race car appeared and screeched to a halt in front of
them.  The driver was actaully a daimon, who was part of the car.  "What
is the meaning of this?!?!" it demanded.  "How come I never got a part in
today's episode?"
	The authors sweatdropped.  "Um... well, it was *her* fault," Meeshy
said, pointing to Cheryl.  "She was in charge of today's episode."
	"*My* fault?  You mean, *her* fault," Cheryl answered, pointing.
"If she hadn't drawn Usagi in to teleport her, we wouldn't have screwed up
the episode in the first place."
	"Oh, so now it's all *my* fault?"  Michelle scowled and pointed at
Meeshy, who sweatdropped.  "It's all *her* fault!"
	"Um... why is it my fault?  I didn't do anything."
	Michelle sweatdropped.  "That's not important right now.  What
really matters is that you carry out your sacred duty as an SM:TMT author
and distract him while we run for our lives."  
	Meeshy sweatdropped as her fellow authors ran, leaving a 
sweatdropping author and daimon.  Minako and Usagi had climbed up a tree to 
hide.  "Some help you are!" she shouted up to them.
	The daimon sighed.  "This episode is too screwed up for me.  Can
you recommend some other anime I can join?"
	"Oh, I don't know... Fushigi Yuugi, maybe?  Since it's gone 
commercial and is coming to the US, thay're probably going to censor some
of the violent parts.  Maybe you could replace Nakago- he doesn't burst into
evil maniacal laughter, like all bad guys are supposed to do."
	The daimon reappeared wearing a blue cloak draped over the car and a 
blond wig.  "Okay, maybe that wasn't right.  Um... Tomo?"  It reappeared with
multicolored designs all over the car and face portions of its body.  "Okay, 
Ashitare?"

	Minako was walking on the streets of Tokyo with Usagi when they
passed an electronics shop.  "Usagi, look!"
	"The producers of the English remake of Fushigi Yuugi is still trying
to find the right actors, but have met with little success so far.  The
single candidate who has actually tried for any part in the show is a daimon
whose career began in SM:TMT, a demented remake of the anime Sailor Moon."
	The two senshi sweatdropped as the camera cut to the car daimon
wearing a bearskin and trying to do a scene with a snow background.  "Okay,
let's do that again.  Drive faster this time!"
	"Hey, it's not my fault!  I'm supposed to be driving in racetracks
and empty water canals, not snow!  This stuff's starting to rust my gears!"
	The news reporter, sweatdropping, returned to the screen.  "We have
been trying to meet up with Watase Yuu, the creator of Fushigi Yuugi, but
we have been unable to talk with her.  Here is a live interview with her
publicity manager, however."
	The scene cut to a man in a business suit, with a woman crouched down
and shaking in the background.  "No comment," he said, brushing the cameras
aside, and then the scene returned to the reporter.
	Minako and Usagi were sweatdropping profusely.  "Was she laughing
or crying?"
	"I have no idea..."
	Suddenly Minako spotted Haruka and Michiru walking down the street.
The blond-haired boy blanched when he saw them, but it was too late.  
Michiru and Usagi sweatdropped as Minako jumped into his arms.  "My love,
it's been so long..."  Then she froze in shock.  "You're... you're..."
She jumped out of his arms and backed away.  "You're a girl?!?!"
	Haruka sweatdropped.  "I've been a girl for a long time now..."
	"Then that means you two are..." Minako said, pointing to Michiru.
	The aqua-haired girl sweatdropped and shook her head.  "Ah, no,
we're just good friends, that's all."  'This is going to be bad for
business!' she thought.
	"That's... that's..."  Minako turned quickly and spotted another
familiar face hobbling by on crutches.  "My love, my love!" she cried,
jumping onto the terrified guy.  Haruka and Michiru sweatdropped.
	"Hey!  Mamo-chan, you're MY lover!  How dare you hold her like that!"
Usagi jumped onto the poor guy, starting to beat the crap out of him (again).
	"What did I do?!?!?!"
