The Fans Want to Know is taking a short reprieve to fix the website and cure the interviewer of her writers' block. As per usual, when stuck on everything else, I turn to fluff. We've done ten interviews so far, ranging from Fushigi Yuugi to X. Let's recap!

I still say the first interview was the least nerve wracking. During the Gundam Wing interview, Duo and Hiiro destroyed my studio, and owed me. ~evil grin~ The whole reason why we had the GW interview second was because of Tasuki's mischeiviousness. Hiiro executed that annoying Togepi for me, and Duo offed Jaken. Then, during the Sailormoon SuperS interview they tried to get revenge on me, and since it backfired, they owed me again. They are currently hunting down the JERK Seishirou.

Subaru; ano... Interviewersan...

Daijoubu Subarukun!

Going back to the second Fushigi Yuugi interview, Nakago and Soi lost their tempers and chased a particularly annoying audience member, who turned out to be Naga. Last we saw of them, they'd chased Naga into Wonderland and gotten lost. Oi.

Subaru; Interviewersan... a-are you sure those three boys will be able to handle Seishirousan? I mean, he is very powerful.

... I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm going on a well deserved vacation, Subarukun. I've got Wufei heavily sedated, my trip to Cephiro all planned, and my sword newly cleaned. ~grin~ Ja ne! Oh! Subarukun! Can you feed my cat?

Subaru; H-hai. Demo...

But nothing. Hiiro's indestructible, nothing's gonna happen... except to Seishirou! Mwa hahahaha! See you in a couple of weeks!

Subaru; S-Sayonara.

               The Fans Want to Know off season ^_^
                      a.k.a. 'Duo in Wonderland'

Duo looks around to find himself standing beneath a tall cherry tree, surrounded by darkness. He plays with his braid a bit.

Duo; Hiiro? Tasuki? Where'd you guys go?

Seishirou; Did you get separated from your friends?

Duo; ~readies scythe~ You! I'm supposed to execute you!

Seishirou; I'll make you a deal.

Duo's scythe suddenly disappears, and he is also suddenly wearing a white kimono

Duo; Ahh! My Scythe! ~looks down~ AHH! MY CLOTHES! I ONLY WEAR BLACK ofmyownvolition WHAT'D YOU DO TO MY CLOTHES?!

Seishirou; ~clears throat~ I'll make you a deal.

Duo; Deal?

Seishirou leans down and whispers in Duo's ear, but the wind picks up, blowing sakura all around them.

Duo; What? I can't hear you over the wind! What?!

**

Meanwhile, Hiiro and Tasuki find themselves in a vast field of flowers.

Tasuki; ... hey. Where'd Duo go?

Hiiro; He'll find his way back.

Hiiro suddenly stops at a table. Tasuki doesn't notice, and falls over Hiiro into said table. The tea on the table goes flying and splashes all over them. They immediately shrink.

**

Meanwhile Duo wakes up in a bed with the sun shining through the window. No, Seishirou is not in bed with him. Duo wipes at his eyes with the back of his arm and blinks blearily at the clock. Then his eyes grow huge as he grabs the clock and freaks out.

Duo; AUGH! DAMMIT!! I'm SO LATE!!

Duo quickly dresses into his school uniform. (which is, sadly, not a fuku, but a boy's uniform) He then grabs toast from the magical toaster and runs out the door. He runs down the street, looks at his watch, and freaks some more.

Duo; Dammit dammit dammit! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

Usagi; It's late! It's late! It's late!

Usagi, dressed in a playboy bunny outfit [bad puns are fun] skateboards past, with Mamoru in close pursuit. Usagi winks at Duo and then rides her skateboard right into a gaping hole of darkness. Duo is a little slow this morning and runs right in after her. Mamoru stops at the edge, shrugs, and goes off to find a way to turn Chibiusa back into the Black Lady.

**

Hiiro; Tasuki.

Tasuki; Hai?

Hiiro; Omae o korosu.

**

Duo falls for a long time and then lands flat on his face.

Duo; OW!! ~gets up~ Now where the hell am I?

Duo is, apparently, nowhere. But there is a door in nowhere. Attached to the door is a somewhat pretty blonde girl.

Duo; R-Rilina?!

Rilina; Ohaiyo Gozaimasu! ~giggle~

Duo; O-ohaiyo... ~aside~ Why is Rilina attached to a door?

Rilina; Onamae wa?

[trans=> what is your name? (lit. your name is?)]

Duo; ~aside~ this is really weirrrrrrd.... ~to Rilina-door~ D-Duo desu...

Rilina; That's a cute name.

Duo; ...

Rilina; Would you like to go through the door?

Duo; Uhh.... how do I do that? ~looks around~ Where's the knobs?

Rilina; here.

Duo; Here? Where? Where?

Rilina; ~cups her hands around her breasts~ Here.

Duo steps back in absolute horror. Rilina smiles cutely.

Duo; Th-THOSE are the knobs?

Rilina; Hai. ~cute smile~

Duo has two choices here, he can either stay here in nowhere with Rilina-door, or he can cop a feel at her behest and get out. Shakily he reaches his hands out. Rilina-door grabs them and places them firmly on her chest. Duo immediately goes into shock and can do nothing as Rilina clutches him to her bosom and he goes through the door. Sometime inbetween one side and the other, Duo ends up upside down and lands on his head.... again...

Duo; OW! ~gets up~ NOW where the hell am I? Forget doing this so that the Interviewer will spare me more torture, I'm gonna kill that Seishirou to get revenge for me!!

Duo hears steps behind him and turns around. He is presented with the site of of a redhead and a brunette dressed in chinese dresses standing looking at him.

Lina; Watashi wa Lina.

Amelia; Watashi wa Amelia.

Lina and Amelia; Onamae wa?

Duo; aw maaannn... Duo desu!

Amelia; That's a cute name. ~wink~

Lina; Let's fight.

Duo; ~remembers Slayers interviews~ Let's not, okay?

Duo turns to go and is presented with two other females in chinese dresses.

To-ly; Watashi wa To-ly

Cho-ly; Watashi wa Cho-ly

To-ly and Cho-ly; Onamae wa?

Duo; ~edging away~ um... Duo desu?

To-ly; Duo? That's a cute name.

Duo; I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

Cho-ly; Let's fight.

Duo; What?! Hey! I just want to get to... um... school I guess. I think that's where I was going. NO! I was going to execute Seishirou... was that where I was going...?

Cho-ly; ~kicks poor Duo in the head~

Duo; OW! Haven't I had enough head injuries today?

Duo backs away from the four females advancing upon him.

Duo; Hey, listen ladies, I don't want to hurt you all, but... ~reaches for gun... that isn't there~ My gu-- I left it in my bag. Where's my bag? OH NO! I left it with Rilina!!!

**

Rilina; ~blinks at bag~ Oh, my.

**

Hiiro and Tasuki wander around the huge flowers and whatnot for awhile. Tasuki debates over whether Hiiro really meant that death threat or not. Hiiro plots Tasuki's death.

Dorothy; Futari...

[Futari => you two (lit. two people)]

Hiiro and Tasuki stop and look around.

Dorothy; Futari...

Hiiro and Tasuki look up to see Dorothy, wearing a top hat and a rather.... interesting leather outfit beckoning them from a daisy-top. She is with two other girls who are also dressed um, interestingly. Before Hiiro and/or Tasuki can say anything, they float up to join Dorothy and her friends on the daisy-top.

Dorothy watches bemused over a cup of tea as her friends begin to fawn over Hiiro and Tasuki.

Tasuki; Hey! What are you--

Hiiro; You're Dorothy.

Dorothy; ~purr~ Glad you remember me.

Tasuki; -- hey, uh, matte,--

Hiiro; You shrank us.

Dorothy; ~purr~ You shrank yourselves with that tea.

Tasuki; --That's MY SHIRT!!--

Hiiro; Turn us back.

Dorothy; ~purrpurr~ Why would I do that?

Tasuki; --cut it-- whoa! Okay, um...-- ~nervous~

Both of Dorothy's friends have full attention on Tasuki.

Hiiro; Turn us back now.

Dorothy; ~crawls over and drapes herself over Hiiro~ ~purrs in his ear~ What's in it for me?

Tasuki; --okay ladies, I'm very flattered but-- Not the pants! ack!!--

Hiiro; ~steadfast~  Return us to our regular size.

Dorothy's fingers are working their way under the waist of Hiiro's bicycle shorts.

Tasuki is no longer protesting.

Hiiro; Omae o korosu.

Dorothy; Ooh, you're so Dangerous! ~shiver~

Hiiro; Get off me.

Dorothy; You're no fun. I'm going to find Quatre. Drink this tea. It'll return you to normal size.

Hiiro; ~takes tea~ Come on, Tasuki.

Tasuki; Five more minutes.

Hiiro would sweatdrop if it were in his character.

**

Duo, meanwhile, turns and runs away from the four battle-lusting femmes. No gun and no gundam means Duo books it out of there. He's attacked anyway, and the ground is torn up beneath his feet. Before he knows it, Duo is falling again...

**

Subaru; ano........ I have a bad feeling about this.....

Kagome; Yeah, me too. What are we talking about?

Subaru; ~blink~
