Journey, Interrupted [ Daichi, Youenko ]

[Kaigan Youenko]

Chiyoko spread her star-shaped little hand wide, and curled her fingers in as she listed off the ridiulously cutsey names of the shows she watched at breakfast time, or before bed. Youenko recognized a few, but as the names got sillier, she figured that Chiyoko was showing off by being silly and making a few names up.

"Gaga Galaxy Princess, White Mystic Butterfly... Pink Magic Butt, Magic Lady Big-Bum and... and..." she turned her beaming face up to grin at her big sister and nearly yelled, "and Magic Lady Anko-chan!" the little girl errupted in unstoppable giggles as Youenko rolled her eyes. When her laughter was reduced to small, spastic giggles Chiyoko pointed at the pen.

"Do it, Anko. Hold the pen up like a magical girl and say 'Magical Anko Make up'!"
Youenko glanced to Daichi for support, but somehow knew the man would side with the giddy little girl.

She held the pen over her head and felt a strange sensation, like a jolt of electricity or sudden flash of heat. Youneko's eyes grew wide, but the feeling was gone before she could speak. She shook her head in an attempt to clear it, then stared at the pen.
Chiyoko's quizzical eyes bored into Youenko, and, not wanting to worry her, the older girl finally mumbled,
"Anko magical make up."

Chiyoko almost fell over laughing.

[Reiniku Daichi]

Well, many of the shows Chiyoko listed off were the "younger" shows and series. Daichi only knew a couple of them, though he had heard of them.

"Wow, that's really nifty!" Daichi responded down towards the younger girl, "Though I'm not sure if your sister appreciates being turned into a magical girl!" He eyed the younger woman beside him, giving a warm grin at her. She seemed very unamused with this notion, though Daichi would admit: she had the hair of a magical girl!

"Go on, do it!" Daichi cheered, pumping one fist in the air, "Lets see your super secret form Youneko-san...or should I say: Magic Lady Anko-chan?!" He said the last phrase as if he was some kind of dastardly villain (which he failed at all together), strumming his fingers together.

Chiyoko seemed pleased by Youneko's mundane henshin-yo, but Daichi wasn't convinced.

"Hey, now. That's not how you do it! You have to do it with more gusto!" He goaded, "Come on, lets do it for real!"

[Kaigan Youenko]

Almost as dense as the man in front of her, Youenko vainly took Daichi's response as flirtation. She smiled cutely.

"I guess, its been a while since I watched an anime... I could give it another try," she winced at the name Chiyoko had chosen for her, "but can't I be something a little less gross than... Anko-chan?"

Chiyoko was about to shake her head, then she turned to Daichi for his opinion.
"She doesn't like to be called Anko-chan," she admitted, "too much like Unko-chan."

[Reiniku Daichi]

"Hmmm...!"

Daichi tried to make himself sound all thoughtful at the question of finding a new name for Youenko's magical girl name. He even raised his eyes to the sky and tapped his chin lightly. Coming up with new magical girl names was always a tricky thing; but then again, the sillier the better!

After a moment of thinking, Daichi turned to Youenko with a sly grin on his face. "How about this: Magical Lady Ne-Ne-Chan?"

Sure, was really silly and stupid sounding, but hey! It was a magical girl name! They couldn't be all serious!

[Kaigan Youenko]

Hottie or not, this guy was beginning to get on Youenko's nerves just a little. At first she thought he being cute and silly with Chiyoko, but the more she played along, the more she was begininng to think Daichi and Chiyoko were on the same intellectual level.

All the same, she smiled blandly and held the pen up again. Again the jolt ran down her arm, and her eyes fluttered in shock. Chiyoko looked up at her big sister with large worried eyes. Youenko smiled, not wanting to worry the little girl.

"Magical Lady Ne-Ne-Chan... Make Up!" Youenko chirped as cheerfully as she could. When Chiyoko's face began to light up again Youenko added a little twirl, and cutesy pose. She winked at her little audience, "well? Did it work?"
