Tenchi: (VO) Some of them will become the best of friends. Others will develop grudges against those they hate. But only one will walk away with up to a million dollars or more in cash and prizes. (A log cabin appears in the background.) Tenchi: (VO) These men and women are... Roomies! (End theme song, with a picture of all 16 contestants standing with Flame Terminal behind them in the background.) = = = = = = = = = = Uncut Session 4 (07.01.03) Tenchi Masaki greets us from inside a cabin... the cabin that the Roomies lived in before. It's currently empty, though, as everyone has already moved over to the campsite for the final few days of the game. Tenchi: We're almost to the end of the road! This time around, we'll bring you the material left out of Episodes 14 through 18. We'll see what happens in the final two weeks of the game as teams scramble to prepare for the Final Four vote. Fly through a series of scenes featuring the family member or friend that came to visit back on Day 28. Tenchi: When we last left the Roomies, we dropped on them the surprise of loved ones. There were some interesting conversations at the dinner that night, including several we couldn't include in the actual episode. Well, here they are. We start off by joining a conversation involving five Roomies alumni that were among the guests. ====== 14-A: A reunion of sorts Chi-Chi, Duo, Jessie, Joey, and Keitaro, most of whom haven't seen each other in person since their season's reunion special, are gathered at one end of the table. And it seems that they've picked off where they left off. Jessie: (between bites of food) This is... so good! Where... did they... get this... food from? Joey: (inhaling food at a similar speed) I... don't... care! Just... eat! Chi-Chi: I swear, you two are bottomless pits! Duo: So, how have you been, Chi-Chi? Chi-Chi: Good, actually. Things couldn't be better! Duo: Really? Chi-Chi: Okay... so I'm a little worried about this Majin Buu creature. Duo: Wish I could do something about it. Chi-Chi: Keitaro... you've been kind of quiet. What's wrong? Keitaro: (sighs as he rests his head on his hand) I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get into Tokyo U. Duo: You're still trying to get into that school? Chi-Chi: Maybe you should think about going somewhere else. Sometimes it's more important to just go to school rather than worry about what the name of the school is. Joey: (stops eating for a minute) Why should he give up? If he wants to go to Tokyo U so bad, then he should keep striving for it! Keitaro: You mean it? I mean, I've failed the entrance exam three times now... Joey: Three? Dude, isn't that a bit much? Duo: You're a smart guy, right Keitaro? Why does it have to be Tokyo U? Keitaro: There's a girl I made a promise to! We promised each other that we'd get into Tokyo U together! Chi-Chi: What if she's already there? In a year or two, she'll graduate while you're still trying to get in. I know you don't want to give up, but maybe you should. Keitaro: Can we change the subject to something more pleasant? Like about Duo? Duo: What about me? Chi-Chi: How did you spend the money? Keitaro: And what about Melfina? Are the two of you still together? Duo: Not anymore. We broke up shortly after the Reunion Special. Chi-Chi: But why? Duo: I already had someone waiting for me. So did she. But don't worry... we're still good friends. Of course, we haven't talked to each other since, but then again, that's hard to do since we live in different universes. Joey: Man, that's harsh. Chi-Chi: That's too bad. You two made a cute couple. Duo: (sighs) Yeah... ====== 14-B: Guns, cars, and bounty hunters galore (PG-13 rated scene) Jet and Spike are sitting across the table from Rally and Minnie-May, as the four bounty hunters get to know each other better. Jet: (points at Minnie-May) So this is the little firecracker you told me about, Rally? Minnie-May: I'm Minnie-May Hopkins, at your service! Spike: Isn't she kinda small for a bounty hunter? Minnie-May: I'm not THAT small! Rally: May, mind your manners! (to Spike and Jet) I'm sorry about her... she can be rude sometimes. Minnie-May: I wasn't being mean! Spike: (reaches over and pokes May's nose) Yes, you are small. Jet: Will you stop that? Rally, this is Spike. He's my partner. Minnie-May: Really? So, who calls the shots? Jet: I do. Why? Minnie-May: Figures. Spike's not much of a man. Spike: Hey. I'd be careful who you insult, small fry. Rally: Okay you two, knock it off! (to May) How's my Cobra? Is she okay? Minnie-May: (sighs) Yeah, Rally. It's still in the same condition as it was two minutes ago when you last asked! Rally: And the gun shop? Minnie-May: Everything's fine. Ken and Becky have been helping out. You'd better win, Ral, because Becky's expecting a big payment! Rally: I should have never asked her to help out. I swear, that girl is too much! Jet: Seems like you have a lot to worry about. Rally: Being a bounty hunter can be troublesome. You don't always know when the next criminal will come along, so you have to live everyday on edge, hoping that you have enough money to get through the day. Spike: Sounds a lot like our lives. Everyday, it's bell peppers and beef... (looks at Jet sorely) and sometimes it's without beef! Jet: That's the thing about this job. Sometimes it's worth it, and sometimes it's not. Minnie-May: It's great that we haven't had much to do in terms of catching bad guys. It's given Ken and I plenty of time to spend together. Rally: (sweatdrops) You're kidding, right? Minnie-May: Nope! In fact, you have no idea what Becky had to do to drag me out of our make-out session last night so that I could come here. Jet: Just how intimate are you and your boyfriend, anyway? Minnie-May: I'll just put it this way... we go at it like dogs! Spike: A little thing like you? Yeah, right. Minnie-May: You have no idea what I'm capable of! I'd have to show you to prove my point! Rally: (laughs nervously) That's okay, May! You don't have to prove anything! Jet: Thank goodness. I'm too old for that kind of stuff. ====== 14-C: All they do is talk, talk, talk Takuya just picked at his plate of food with a fork as his mother Yuriko, and Haruka chatted away about practically nothing. Yuriko: And I couldn't believe it... she was the girl I hated so much in school! To my surprise, I discover that my life's way better than hers! Haruka: You don't say? Yuriko: Yeah! I went up to her and said, 'Who's got the better life now?' And she was like, 'I envy you, Yuriko. Are you happy now?' Haruka: What then? You just walked away? Yuriko: Of course not! I couldn't help but rub it in, so... As the two continue to talk, Takuya sighed as he tore off a piece of his chicken thigh and started thinning it bit by bit. Takuya: Man, this sucks. I wish the others were here so I had someone to talk to. Yuriko: (without looking at Takuya) Takuya, stop playing with your food! It's bad manners. Takuya: (dropping the piece of chicken on his plate) How does she do it without looking at me? Yuriko: Oh, that's right. Takuya was with me that day. She asked about him. She wanted to know what Takuya was like when he was a baby, and I said, 'You wouldn't believe it, but he used to wet the bed all the time!' Takuya: Mom! You said you would never tell anyone about that! Haruka: It's okay. (winks at Takuya) I won't tell anyone. Takuya: Whew! That's a relief. Wait a minute, this is being taped too, right? Oh, crap... I can see Koji and JP ripping me on this now... ====== 14-D: Okay, now I'm in! The friends and family members had just left, about to head back to the real world. As the group begins to disperse and return to their living quarters for the night, Amy Rose pulls Tally aside to talk to her. Tally: What's up, Amy? Amy R.: We need to talk! Tally: Really? About what? Amy R.: About your offer... I'd like to accept it. Tally: That's great! Amy R.: So, let's see... I have to vote for you, Haruka, and Jet. Right? Tally: Yes. And the fourth vote, you can leave to anyone else. In exchange, we'll all vote for you. Amy R.: Really? Wow, that would be great! Tally: You're okay with that? Amy R.: Yeah! Now that I'm teamed up with you guys, I've got a shot at winning for sure! Amy runs off, waving goodbye to Tally as she departs for the campsite. ====== Tenchi: Little did Amy know that the Adult Alliance was just days away from being taken down by Bandit Keith. But before this happened, Keith had focused on causing a different type of havoc. Getting Yugi to admit his feelings for Whitney... which embarassed him to no end and resulted in this scene... ====== 15-A: Time to make it my business Whitney and Haruka depart the cabin as everyone watches. Haruka: Well, until the next challenge. We'll be back. Some quiet good-byes are said, but everyone's too focused on Whitney, who's just standing there quietly, facing away from the group. Yugi looks as if he's about to say something, but he decides to hold his tongue. Haruka: (pulling Whitney along) Come on... we'd better get a move on. The two women leave, heading to the campsite. The group waits for their new bunkmates Nabiki and Rini to arrive... but obviously, their minds are on Whitney. Amy M.: (CC) I feel sorry for Whitney. I wish there was something I could do to cheer her up. Yusuke: (CC) Did you see the look on Yugi's face when Whitney said she just wanted to be friends? Man... she really knows how to put a guy down! Once they are gone, the group heads back inside. All except for Rally, who grabs Keith by the arm and holds him up. Keith: What's the big idea? Rally: You have some nerve, embarassing Yugi like that! Keith: He was scared of admitting his feelings for Whitney! I thought I was doing the right thing. Rally: Well, you weren't! It's not right to force somebody to do something like that! If Yugi had an intention of telling Whitney how he felt, he would have approached her already! Keith: There's nothing wrong with speeding up the process a bit. Rally: That's not how love works, Keith! Keith: Then how does it work? Are you willing to show me? Rally: In your dreams. Keith: I did the kid a favor. He should be thanking me. Rally: Then why does Yugi look as if he's just seen a ghost? You need to stop interfering with other people's lives. Keith: You need to follow your own advice and stop trying to change mine. Keith heads inside, leaving a fuming Rally on the porch. Rally: (CC) He's such a jerk! Does he enjoy making everyone's lives miserable or what? ====== 15-B: To be a tattletale or not to be a tattletale After having accidentally snuck into several alliance talks earlier that day, James is pacing around alone in the woods as night begins to fall. James: Should I or shouldn't I tell? All these alliances are about to crash into each other, and I'm the one only who knows about it all! He continues to pace, not sure what to do at all. James: Maybe I should tell. After all, I may be able to use it to my advantage! The question is... whom do I tell? More pacing... James: Aha! I know! That gym leader! I bet she'd listen to me! James heads back to camp. He starts to approach Whitney, but then sees she's talking with Amy Rose and Nabiki. James: Maybe later, when she's alone. He immediately heads for his tent, where he hides alone for a few hours. ====== Tenchi: James knew that the Adult Alliance and the alliance led by Yusuke, but led by Keith in this case, were about to collide. Unfortunately, he couldn't foresee the fallout that would result. After the whole debacle, one core member of the Adult Alliance, Tally, thought about leaving. And she almost did... ====== 16-A: There may be a reason for staying after all Walking towards the edge of the forest and to the walkway which led down to the Pagumon village, Tally continued to contemplate whether to leave or not. Tally: How could I be so stupid? I had a whole month to see it coming! And now... now it's too late to change anything! She stopped right in front of the passage leading over the canyon. This bridge separated the forest area from the village itself. Tally: If I step across to the other side, then I'm going home. But if I decide not to go across, then I have to stay here. (sighs) But without any chance of winning, why should I stay? Taking one step forward, Tally began her crossing. After a few seconds, she took another. One by one, she started walking over the bridge. It seemed that nothing was going to stop her from going home and leaving everyone else behind. That is, until a group of five Pagumon appeared at the other end. Pagumon A: It's one of those humans! Pagumon B: What should we do? Pagumon C: I'm hungry. Why don't we eat her? Pagumon D: That's a great idea! Pagumon E: Let's do it then! The five Pagumon charged towards Tally. She thought about fighting them off, but since she was already halfway across and on the narrowest part of the bridge, even the slightest misstep could send her plummeting to her doom. There was only one option available to her... and that was to go back. Tally: Takato and the others never said the Digimon ate humans! Once Tally made it to the other side, the Pagumon stopped. They weren't willing to go into the forest for some reason. Pagumon C: Come on, she's just right there! I'm still hungry! Pagumon A: There are dangerous Digimon on that side! Do you want to get eaten yourself? Pagumon C: Good point. Retreat? Pagumon D: Retreat! The five Pagumon turn tail and head back towards the village. Tally breathes a sigh of relief as they disappear from sight. Tally: Well, even if I wanted to, I can't leave. Guess I'm stuck here. But... it shouldn't be so bad, right? Only another week or so. Maybe things will get better. Yeah, that's right! After this low, things can only get better! Alright... Tally's back in the game! Infused with new enthusiasm, Tally runs back to camp to resume playing the game. ====== 16-B: The end of the Adult Alliance That night, when everyone else at the camp was asleep, the core members of the former Adult Alliance met for one last time. Jet: Why are we even meeting? Isn't our alliance dead? Tally: Technically, yes. But there's still one order of business to take care of. Haruka: What's that? Tally: Officially dissolve the alliance. Jet: I thought when Keith screwed us over, that meant we were dissolved. Tally: Yes, but not officially. Jet: Why do we have to make it official? Everyone knows what happened. Tally: I just want to make sure that all three of us okay. That we all realize that this isn't the end of the world for us! Haruka: It's not? Jet: Where did this revelation come from? Your walk of shame? Tally: We've still got a week and a half left, right? Well, that's still plenty of time to form new alliances! Jet: You mean restart the Adult Alliance? Tally: (shakes her head) No. The Adult Alliance is done with. What I meant is that it's time to break off and search for alliance partners individually. Haruka: As in, we all go it alone? Am I hearing you right? Tally: Yes, Haruka. It's the only way any of us have a chance. Now, I doubt not many people will trust us at first, but it'll just like it's Day One again! We all had strategies of our own when we came in, right? Now's the time to use them! Jet: You're right! This might work! Haruka: Looks like Tally's back and ready to play. Tally: You bet! Jet and Haruka, this is the end of the Adult Alliance... but the start of a new beginning for all of us! To seal the deal, the trio high-fived each other, signifying the official end of the Adult Alliance. ====== Tenchi: With the Adult Alliance gone, many of the Roomies were forced to search for new partners to help them get to the Final Four. But it can't be on your mind all the time... and that's why these next two scenes came about. In these scenes, the focus isn't on the game... it's on each other. ====== 17-A: Meet the resident apple pickers Amy M. and Whitney had baskets in hand as they walked through the forests. They were searching for the meat apple trees so that they could pick some fruit to serve for dinner that evening. Whitney: Isn't it nice out here? We're out here in the forest, where we can breathe easy! Amy M.: Whitney? Are you okay? Whitney: Yeah. It's just that the game's gotten to me. So much has happened so far. Sometimes I just think it's too much for me to handle. Amy M.: But aren't you a gym leader? Doesn't that require a lot of work? Whitney: Yes. Yes, it does. But at least with gym work, I have a good idea of what needs to be done and how about getting it done. Here, though... it's different. I just want to get stop thinking about the game. Even if just for a minute. Amy M.: Well... how about telling me more about how a Pokémon gym is run? Whitney: Pokémon gyms are places where trainers can test their skills against a gym leader. Gym leaders are called so because of their mastery of one type of Pokémon. For me, it's normal-types. Amy M.: Like your Miltank? Whitney: Exactly! Anyway, each of the gym leaders has trainers under them... sort of like a chain of command. In order to get a chance to battle the gym leader, trainers have to go through each of the assistants first. The assistants will also field the same type of Pokémon as the leader, although their Pokémon are slightly weaker to the leader's. Amy M.: So... when they get to the gym leader, they have to battle to? Whitney: Of course! And if the trainer can defeat the gym leader, he or she earns a badge. Each Pokémon league requires a certain number of badges to move on to the region's tournament. And trust me... getting all the badges is no simple task. Amy M.: You must be proud to be a gym leader! Whitney: I have to be. I represent a great city in Goldenrod. If I'm not proud of my job, then how can I expect anyone to be proud of me? Amy nods before pointing up a nearby tree. Amy M.: I think we found the trees! Whitney: About time! I was starting to get tired! The two go to work picking apples. ====== 17-B: The master of the power ring Gatomon is running around in the forest as Takuya gives chase, trying to keep up with her fleet feline feet. Gatomon: Catch me if you can, Takuya! Takuya: (running out of breath) Just how much... running do you... do with Amy anyway? All the while, Amy watches them from afar as she sits on the grass beneath her. But the power ring in her hands triggers one of many hints that this is not the Amy that regularly trains Gatomon, but the other Amy, who has a special affinity for a certain blue hedgehog. Amy R.: I love Sonic and this power ring! I'll treasure it for as long as it lives! Takuya: Don't you mean as long as you live? Amy R.: (shakes her head) Nope. Power rings only last between 24 and 72 hours. Takuya: So, you can't exactly store a supply, can you? Amy R.: It would be nice if we could, but that's not the way it works. Takuya: Too bad. Me and the gang could surely use some of them against the evils of the Digital World. Amy R.: Wouldn't that be bad? That's like mixing two shows, right? Takuya: Isn't that what we're doing now, except on a larger scale? Amy R.: Hmmm... I suppose. Takuya: But you're right. With such a short life and no easy way to get new rings, it won't help us at all. Amy R.: Oh well. At least you can enjoy having this one around while it lasts. Takuya: Which is actually very short... it's starting to fade away! Takuya and Gatomon gather around Amy as they watch the power ring start to fade away, then suddenly explode in a flash of golden yellow light. And when the light dissipates, the ring is gone. Gatomon: Wow! Takuya: I'm impressed! Does it usually do that when it expires? Amy R.: All except for the blinding light part. I wonder why it did that. Takuya: Who knows? Amy R.: (standing up) Oh well. We'd better be heading back now before the others get worried. Amy R., Takuya, and Gatomon start heading back to camp. ====== Tenchi: Okay, enough of the fluff. Time to get back to the game... and to the wackiest challenge yet. A crossdress cosplay challenge. You know, before the Roomies even stepped on stage, there was plenty of stuff behind-the-scenes worth laughing at. Take a look at these... ====== 17-C: It's time to play dress-up We peek in at some of the Roomies getting ready. We first check in on Yugi and Takuya, who are getting one heck of a hair job. Hairstylist A: Well, if we're going to dress you up like this girl, we need to wash your hair and undo all of that hair gel so that I can fix it! Yugi: My hair's going to be so messed up! I'm going to be the laughing stock of my school! Takuya: At least in the end you'll have a neutral hairstyle. My outfit involves getting my hair tied up into ponytails! Hairstylist B: (picks off Takuya's goggles) You won't be needing these... Takuya: Hey! My goggles! Yugi: I wish there was some way out of this. Then again... I want to win this car for grandpa so he doesn't have to walk to just go out somewhere. ====== In with a different pair, as we see Trunks and James going through makeup. Makeup Artist A: This shouldn't be too hard. All we have to do is make you look like a ten-year old girl! James: It shouldn't be that hard! Just rearrange my ears and stick some fake eyelashes on! Trunks: I can't believe I'm actually doing this alongside you! Makeup Artist B: (walking around Trunks) Hmmm... I'm going to need to cover up those purple eyebrows over yours, flatten your nose a little, and elongate your face. Trunks: Elangigate what? No way! Makeup Artist B: If you want to look like Ryoko, you're face has to match the part! Trunks: (sarcastically) Great. (glances at James) This is stupid. James: (to Artist A) What are you waiting for? Make with the makeup! ====== Over to a different trailer, where Nabiki and Whitney are already in the process of getting their hair done. Nabiki: I've never envisioned myself as a black-haired person. It's too dull, if you ask me. Whitney: I agree. How are people comfortable with it? (to her hairstylist) The dye's not permanent, is it? Hairstylist C: It'll last for 24 hours. By this time tomorrow morning, you'll be back to your normal hair color. Hairstylist D: No worries... we're professionals! We know what we're doing! Nabiki: As long as I don't start looking like Pippi Longstocking, I'm fine with that! ====== To the dressing rooms, as we see Jet and Yusuke checking out costumes. Well, Jet anyway... Yusuke's hiding in the dressing room, embarrassed to come out and show what his costume looks like. Jet: Oh, don't be a baby! It can't be that bad! Yusuke: (from behind a dressing room door) I'm not coming out in this get-up! Jet: Who did you pick anyway? Dresser A: You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Jet: Try me. The dresser whispers who Yusuke is cosplaying as. Jet doesn't seem to react... and for good reason. Jet: Who the heck is that? Dresser B: How would he know anyway? The guy's, like, 60 years old. Jet: I'm only in my mid-40s, thank you very much! Yusuke: You know, forget the car! It's not worth it! Jet: (shakes his head) Alright... I'm sure the rest of us will be glad there's one less person to compete against. Yusuke: Yeah, you'd all want that! Okay, I'm back in! Jet: Then you'd better come out so that your wardrobe chooser can see you. Yusuke: I'll come out when I'm good and ready... and when you're gone! ====== Last, but not least, we look in on Amy M. and Rally, who are almost in complete costume. Amy is dressed as Ken Ichijouji, aka the Digimon Emperor, while Rally is supposed to be Vash the Stampede... only she isn't quite there yet. Rally: What's taking so long? Hairstylist E: Vash's hairstyle requires a whole, whole lot of gel! Now, would you sit still so that this can harden? Rally: (sighs) Why did I choose him anyway? Oh, I remember now... he had the biggest gun I ever saw, and if he was a bounty in this time period, I would have tried to bag him myself! Amy M.: (in Ken's voice) Why worry about him when you've got me, the Digimon Emperor, to worry about! I'll take over the Digital World, and then the real world! And nobody's gonna stop me! Rally: Please... that sounds so unbelievable. Amy M.: You think I'm overdoing it? Rally: No. I think it's just you, Amy. You're just not the villain type. You act too... well, good. Amy M.: I guess. Still, I've gotta do what I've gotta do. Amy headed for the trailer's exit, as it was nearly time for the Roomies to gather backstage for the show. Rally couldn't go anywhere, though, as she was still stuck waiting for her 'Vash' hairstyle to come to form. ====== 17-D: Hey, the judges deserve every part of their 15 minutes! Roger Smith and Kensuke Aida were sitting up on stage, preparing to judge the competition. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Roger: So, let me get this straight... we're judging a dress-up competition? Kensuke: It's called cosplaying, and it's the greatest hobby ever invented! People come out dressed as their favorite anime characters! I especially love it when girls choose those skimpy outfits that you dream of seeing real life women in! Roger: (lowering his sunglasses) You have a lot to learn about respecting ladies, my friend. Suddenly, Tomoyo Daidouji appeared, coming up to the table. She turned to the two guys and, flashing that cute smile of hers, greeted them. Tomoyo: Hello! My name is Tomoyo Daidouji. And you are? Roger: (sticking his hand out for a handshake) Roger Smith. A pleasure to see you again, Tomoyo. Kensuke: (freaking out) What? You know this cute little girl? Roger: This cute little girl knows a whole lot about costume designing. She's a perfect judge for a competition like this! Kensuke: (with hearts in eyes) Yeah... perfect in every way! Roger: (elbows Kensuke) Don't even think about. She's just a child. Tomoyo: If only Sakura-chan we're here... I'd live to see her in a cosplay competition, just to see her in all types of costumes! (starry-eyed) I've always wanted to see her dressed as Mimiru! Roger: Who's that? Kensuke: Some hot babe from a show based off a computer game. If Kensuke thought Tomoyo was cute, then his flirt-o-meter is about to go off the charts! Hikaru Amano arrives on the scene, happy as can be. Hikaru: (squealing) I can't believe this! A REAL cosplaying competition in which I'm a judge! What otaku could ask for anything more? Kensuke: Now there's a babe! Roger: (coughs) Respect, respect! Tomoyo: (goes to shake hands with Hikaru) Hello! My name is... Hikaru: You're Tomoyo of 'Cardcaptor Sakura,' the girl who has a crush on her best friend Sakura, whom you also design battle costumes for. Unfortunately, you're not sure that she has the same feelings for you, so when she falls in love with Syaoran Li, you encourage the relationship instead of denouncing it! Tomoyo: (nervously) Yes... I think you covered it all. Roger: (kisses Hikaru on the hand) Good morning, Miss... Hikaru: Amano. Hikaru Amano. But let me say, Roger Smith... Roger: But... how did... Hikaru: I'm flattered by your gentlemanship, but I've seen 'Big O,' before, and trust me, I wouldn't want to deal with Dorothy! I mean, when I saw what she did to that girl's business card when she saw you flirting with him! Now that's an android with personality! Roger: (rubs the back of his head) Uh... yeah. But how did... Kensuke: (knocks Roger out of the way) Why, hello there! Roger: (getting up) What's the big idea? Hikaru: And you're Kensuke Aida from 'Neon Genesis Evangelion!' Let me just say that it was one of the best anime I have ever seen! The way Shinji, Rei, and Asuka fought those Angels was spectacular! Too bad you're just a minor character... I don't swing for guys like that. Kensuke: (as Hikaru walks past him) What do you mean minor? Hikaru: You know, as in someone that just supports the show and provides an occasional one-episode filler storyline. No one important. Roger: (pushing Kensuke down) Stop making advances on her! She's a judge, not some common stranger off the street! (to Hikaru) By the way, are you going to tell us something about yourself? Tomoyo: Yes! I'd really like to know more about you! Hikaru: As I said before, I'm Hikari Amano, Aestivalis pilot and otaku extraordinare! I love battling inside giant armored mobile suits and I'm hoping that someday everyone will be able too! Roger: Well, then, we have something in common, Miss Amano. Hikaru: Call me Hikaru, and remember, Dorothy may be watching! Roger: (straightens his bow tie) Oh... right. Tomoyo: So, who wants to see some costumes? Kensuke: I do! Bring on the babes! Roger: (runs his hand down his face) This is going to be the worst cameo experience ever. ====== Tenchi: And that's it! By now, you're probably wondering who is this season's winner. Well, stay tuned! The Reunion Special is up next! This is Tenchi Masaki, signing off for now! ==================== End Uncut Session Four ==================== =================== Additional Author's Notes ================== In the end, this did end up being the shortest because five scenes originally played were cut. I just didn't feel like doing them. Sorry if I'm lazy... but that's the way things have been with me these days. Anyway, turn the page to see the Reunion Special... if you haven't already.
