Aureal hit the power button on the remote, snapping off the TV. "Wow," she
remarked, "that was awesome. And Ami-chan is so cool!" With that, she stood
up, took the subbed tape of BSSM out of the VCR and put it back in the case.
Suddenly, a voice sounded inside her head. "The Amichanians of Otaku World
are seeking new members. All Mercury Otaku, please help support our
Senshi!"[1] "Otaku World?" wondered Aureal aloud. "Hey, I've never been
there, I'll go check it out! Anything to help the great Mercury!" Aureal
grinned excitedly, grabbed her baseball cap and placed it on her head. "All
right, first step, find Otaku World!" Aureal said, and transported herself
to another dimension.

Aureal reappeared in a flash of silver and blue, and glanced at her
surroundings. "Hmm, I couldn't have gotten lucky enough to have found Otaku
World on my first try, could I? Still, better make sure," she muttered to
herself, and waved at some people who had been passing by. "Hey," Aureal
called, "what world is this?" The group of people just kind of stared at
her, wondering who the heck she was and how she'd just appeared in front of
them. Finally, one of them came forward. "What?" he blinked confusedly,
"what do you mean, what world is this?" "Just what I said, what world is
this? This isn't Otaku World is it?" Aureal inquired. "Er... no... I don't
think so..." the man said, looking even more confused. He looked back at one
of his companions verified, "right, Raist?" "Correct, Caramon," the one he'd
asked replied, then peered curiously at Aureal. "And who are you," he
started to ask, but Aureal had already waved goodbye and went on to the next
world.

Many worlds (and weeks) later, Aureal reappeared. How exactly she appeared
wasn't very apparent this time, because she had appeared in a very dark
cave. Aureal turned around, looking for light. A faint flicker caught her
eye, and she walked towards it, and finally came out on a ledge above a pool
of molten lava. Aureal stared down at it for a while, trying to figure out
where to go next, when suddenly she was bumped into by someone behind her.
She quickly turned and saw that a small, skinny creature was right behind
her, and it had dropped something. "Oh, excuse me," she said and bent to
pick up the item, "here, let me get that for you." She picked it up and was
about to offer it to the creature, when she noticed what it was.
"EEEEEEWWWWWW! Sick! A severed finger!!!" Aureal shrieked and whirled about,
hurling the finger far off into the magma. "Precious!!!!" the skinny
creature wailed, and jumped off the ledge, clutching desperately for the
finger. Aureal watched, a large sweatdrop appearing on her head, as she
started to mutter, "what a stupid little creature..." when suddenly the
earth began to shake and rocks started falling down around her. "Ack! I
think it's time to leave this world..." she said even as she vanished.

Many more worlds later, Aureal appeared in a puff of blue smoke in the
middle of a huge desert. "A desert," she grumbled, "I hate deserts." Hoping
to be able to leave soon, she quickly scanned the area for people. Seeing a
conveniently placed bystander, she walked over to him and opened her mouth
to ask which world this was, but he beat her to it. "Hello," said the man,
"I am the official greeter of the Great Otaku Desert. I will conduct you on
a guided tour of the Desert. The first sightseeing point is just off to your
left there." Aureal looked left as he continued on, "that is a pile of
sand." Aureal blinked. "Hey, wait a minute," she began but was cut off again
by his monologue. "Off to your right there is another pile of sand. Directly
in front of you is yet another pile of sand." "OK, I get it," Aureal crossly
stated, but still the greeter continued on, "and right behind you is-"
Aureal interrupted him, "let me guess, a fourth pile of sand?" The greeter
smoothly responded, "no, behind you is a Giant Otaku Desert Worm, which is
especially fond of the colors white and blue... fond of eating things those
colors, anyway." Aureal frowned at having been wrong, then looked down at
her blue jeans and white t-shirt. "Uhhh..." She whipped around, digging into
her pocket for some type of weapon with which to combat the Worm, only to
see... a fourth pile of sand. She narrowed her eyes and angrily turned back
around, but the greeter was gone. "What the..." she muttered, before another
realization struck her. "Hey, he said this was the Great Otaku Desert! This
must be Otaku World!" Aureal leaped into the air in excitement, landing so
she was facing the fourth pile of sand. Only it wasn't the fourth pile of
sand any more. It was a Giant Otaku Desert Worm. And it looked hungry.
Aureal stared up at the thing towering over her and faintly gasped out,
"eep." The maw of the Worm came crashing down where she had been, but Aureal
had already transported back to her home. Back at her place, Aureal gasped
in relief, then began leaping in joy again. After several minutes of this,
she realized she wasn't getting anywhere by doing so, and transported back
to Otaku World.

SPLOOSH! Aureal's re-entrance to Otaku World wasn't seen by anyone, because
she was in the middle of the ocean. Unfortunately, this meant that Aureal
was in the middle of the ocean as well. "Argh! This isn't f-" Aureal spit
seawater out of her mouth and began to tread water. "-unny," she finished.
Craning her neck, she saw no land in sight, so with a swirl of water, Aureal
was gone.

Aureal sighed and put her head on her table. "When am I going to find the
Amichanians?" she wondered aloud. For the last few months, she had been
jumping back and forth between Otaku World and her home dimension, trying to
find the Amichanians. I wish I could just teleport between two places in one
world, she thought, that would make this easier. She glanced ruefully at the
BSSM tapes, which she had been watching much of the time. I wouldn't have
all these distractions... Aureal sighed again, and as she did so, her
garments shifted, and were suddenly blue robes with silver stitching.
"Well," she said, standing up, "I'm not getting anything done here. With
that, she was back in Otaku World.

After surprisingly few tries, Aureal appeared with a dramatic swoosh of her
cape atop a pile of rubble. Surveying the ruins, she noticed several people
a little ways off, of of who seemed to be digging frantically through the
rubble and shouting. Frowning, Aureal watched a while longer as the man
uncovered a few people, then suddenly noticed a blue-haired woman standing
nearby. As the man ran up to the woman, Aureal blinked and looked closer.
"No... that's not her... looks a lot like Ami-chan, though. Perhaps these
people know something about these 'Amichanians' I'm looking for." Aureal
started off towards the group of people, hoping they would be able to help
her.


TBC? Please? ^_^

[1] A reference to a thread I read months ago, where the Amichanians sent
out a message to come join them. It's probably not even in continuity, but I
got the idea in my head and couldn't get rid of it. ^_^ I would've come
then, but was rather busy in RL... hence the amount of time it took to get
here.


Aureal- didn't realize it took so long to write these things ^_^
