Sasami: Yes, Washu?

Washu: I've decided to open a restaurant here. Would it be imposing to ask you to cook?

Sasami: I'd be glad to!

Washu: Thanks a lot!

Sasami: I'll go get my cooking utensils.

*Sasami exits*

Washu: Ha ha ha ha! Now I'll finally get those clones. They won't be able to wreck havoc across the universe after today!

Washu: Now to send a few invitations. Winner, Kinomoto and Black. That should do...

***

Saitoh: I'm back Tokio. But I can't stay too long.

Tokio: Eh? What's come up?

Saitoh: I ran into an old friend who needs help. It shouldn't take too long. And it can wait until after dinner.

Tokio: Good. By the way, why don't you ever introduce these old friends of yours?

Saitoh: Actually, he may end up staying here for a while. In one of the guest rooms, of course.

Tokio: Oh really. Well, it will be nice to meet this friend of yours.

Saitoh: Ah. (Phew... Should be easy from here on.)

***

Tifa: Nothing has happened for days. Why don't we give up on this whole hiding bit.

Barret: We have to keep fighting! We can't let those tyrants win!

Cloud: Besides, Sephiroth could show up at any moment. We have to be ready to stop him.

Sephiroth: It doesn't matter how many times you destroy me. I live on inside of you. You can't kill me.

Cloud: I don't give a damn about that! OMNISLASH!!!

*Sephiroth shrugs*

Sephiroth: The technique I've seen 572 times won't work again.

Cloud: Kuso!

Tifa: I'll go get Knights from Yuffie.

Barret: I'll go get the rest of Avalanche.

Sephiroth: It doesn't matter what you do! Now I'll summon meteor and destroy this world!

Cloud: Hmmm... Maybe Squall will have some idea on how to handle this.

Soujiro: Message for you, Quatre-san!

Quatre: Oh! Thanks, Soujiro.

Aerith: What does it say?

Quatre: A new Japanese restaurant is opening. I've been sent a coupon for half off on any 5 course meal.

Sasami: That must be the one I'm cooking for.

Aerith: Then we'll have to go. Your cooking is the best!

Sasami: Thank you!

Soujiro: It's been a while since I had normal food. Do you mind if I join?

Quatre: Of course not. I'll see you there, then. Oh, and you can meet Rashid and Trowa too.

Soujiro: Great. Well, I have to get back to work now. Ja.

Duo: I overheard a bit of that. Where is that new restaurant?

Sasami: Here's a map to the place.

Duo: Thanks. Hilde's been dropping hints that I should take her out to dinner or she'd change to the Kamiya Kashin Ryu style of dating.

Sasami: Ara?

Duo: Boken to the head.

*Duo and Quatre wince. Aerith and Sasami shrug.*

*Suddenly there is a burst of flames!*

"Shi-shi-o Makoto has returned from hell!!!!"

Duo: HEY! THAT'S MY LINE!!!!

Shi-shi-o: The strong take any lines they please.

Duo: Let's see how strong you are against Deathscythe Hell!

Shi-shi-o: First I must defeat that idealistic fool Treize. But I will return for you.

Duo: Any time, bandage boy!

*Shi-shi-o exits and runs into Sephiroth*

Sephiroth: If you fight him you'll lose, you know.

Shi-shi-o: I am stronger then everything. Besides, you should be killing that Cetra.

Sephiroth: That guy in there is an Okita clone. You don't mess with them without a lot of prior planning.

Shi-shi-o: That's why you're weak. But I must return to the battle.*exit*

Sephiroth: He's loony.*exit*

***

*Washu's restaurant is doing well (because Sasami is cooking). The CCS people have a table for Sakura and co. and a table for Eriol and his guardians. Aerith, Duo, Quatre, Hilde, Soujiro and Trowa have another. Various Magaunacs are scattered about and Billy Lee Black has his own table.*

Washu: Yes! Now I can put an end to this mess once and for all.

Sasami: What? What's going on????

Washu: Don't worry about anything, Sasami. I'm just going to round up those Okita clones. With the proper dose of Washu's special knockout drug...

*flips into nurse outfit, pulls out big mallet*

Washu: ...they won't wake 'till they're back at the lab and their powers are sealed permanently!

*Washu exits laughing*

Sasami: Sorry Washu, but I can't let you trap my friends.

***

Sasami: Ok everybody, here are your fortune cookies!

Soujiro: Ara? Nan desu?

Sasami: Fortune cookies. You eat the cookie and keep the fortune that's inside.

Tomoyo: Mine says "Your smile brightens the room." How about you, Sakura-chan?

Sakura: "The only thing you have to fear is fear itself." How about you, onii-san?

Tou-ya: "You possess many hidden talents." You, Yuki?

Yukito: Ara? "Washu is sneaking up behind you with a large mallet?"

Eriol: That's what mine says too.

Quatre: I don't need to be psychic to figure this one out.

*Soujiro and Billy nod*

Yukito: Gomen Nasai, demo, I have to run away now.

Tou-ya: Ja. *Okita clones exit quickly*

Tou-ya: But this is getting irritating.

Washu: What!?! They're escaping!?! Well, they can't get away from my Mecha Clone Catcher!

Washu A: It's inescapable!

Washu B: Only a genius like Washu could make it!

Washu: Ha ha ha ha ha ha! //*Note: unlike Heero, Washu has many maniacal laughs per episode*//

*The Mecha zooms by at Shuku-chi... and hits a chair, smashes into the wall, and is destroyed*

Tou-ya: Divine retribution.

Li: You just put that chair there.

Tou-ya: Doesn't make it any less true.

Washu: You can't escape!

Washu A: Washu always wins!

Washu B: She's the greatest in the universe!

*Washu continues the chase.*

***

*Dorothy is wandering around the random junk page with two rapiers*

Dorothy: Quatre! I know you're around here somewhere! I won't let you get through without a date or a rematch!

Quatre: Any other ways through?

Soujiro: Iie. This is it.

Yukito: Strange... does she want to kill you or be your girlfriend?

Quatre: I don't know. I'm not sure which would be worse.

Eriol: I have an idea...

---

Dorothy: Ha! There they all are!

*The group walks by quickly Quatre is nowhere to be seen.*

Dorothy: Where is he??? Wait! Two Soujiros!?!?

Quatre: She saw through the illusion!!

Soujiro: Run!

*The Okita clones exit quickly*

Dorothy: You're only prolonging the inevitable!!!

*Washu enters*

Washu: Quick! Which way did they go?

Dorothy: Over there. *points in wrong direction*

Washu: Gotcha!

Heero: *entering* Why so nice?

Dorothy: Shut up suicide boy!

***

*In a nearby corridor*

Noin: Uh, Zechs? Why are you still carrying that mask?

Zechs: I have many reasons, but mainly...

Red: We have to stop Sephiroth before he summons meteor!

Barret: There he is! We'll stop you from destroying this world!

*Zechs puts on mask.*

Zechs: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Barret: Huh? Uh, sorry about that. You looked like someone else.

Noin: I see...

***

*Shi-shi-o enters the game room. Hoji gets insanely happy.*

Yumi+Kamitari: Shi-shi-o sama!

Shi-shi-o: As ruler of hell I can leave when I wish.

Treize: Ah good. Wufei, would you kindly wait for the rest of our rematch?

Wufei: This I've gotta see.

Une: Shall I set the board to it's previous position, Master Treize?

Treize: Please do. Now if I recall in your last attack you lost 34 armies.

Shi-shi-o: I will make up those losses myself!

*The game continues. Shi-shi-o has a red piece that never loses, where as Treize has a blue piece that constantly wins. Wufei is waiting for the two to meet.*

Ping! Pop!

Ping! Pop!

Shi-shi-o: What are you doing, weakling?

Wufei: Making popcorn. Hold still.

*Wufei bounces another piece off of Shi-shi-o's head, where it is cooked, pops, and ricochets back to Wufei's hand.*

*Sally walks by*

Sally: (Wufei and Treize in the same room and they aren't in a death duel. This is very odd.)

*Sally enters and is drawn into the game.

Sally: Can I have some popcorn?

Wufei: Get your own, Onna.

***

Billy: I hate to sound negative, but I'm really tired of running.

Soujiro: There must be something else we can do.

Quatre: I have a plan! Follow me!

*Washu's lab- The door bursts in and the security devices are eliminated through a hail of gunfire, magic blasts, and sword strokes.*

Soujiro: That was easy.

Billy: I think she wasn't ready for a frontal assault.

Yukito: Now let's free Okita-san.

*Quatre hacks into the computer and disables the force field.

Okita: Arigato. Now I'll teach that little girl the meaning of Aku Soku Zan.

Yukito: Maa Maa. She's not evil. Besides, we should leave first.

Wahsu: Gotcha!

* Force field reappears around all Okita clones and Okita.*

Washu: Finally, I can seal your powers!

*Saitoh gatotsus through a wall and breaks the power source.

Saitoh: Time to go, Okita-kun.

Okita: Saitoh-san! Good to see you.

*Sephiroth appears in midair. The ghostly image of this scene is sent to all other rooms.*

Sephiroth: I have gathered in enough power. Now I will summon Meteor and then I'll become a god!!!!!

Okita: That's Aku. Shinsengumi de gozaru!

Sepiroth: What the!?!?!?! All of them!?! I'm gone!

*Sephiroth runs out the door straight into Cloud.*

Cloud: Kisama! I've been waiting for this!

Sephiroth: Omnislash won't work boy.

Cloud: Lionheart! *a sickening number of 9999's appear*

Cloud: I'll have to thank Squall for teaching me that one.

Washu: Whatever. Hey, where'd the clones go!? Not Again!
