Re: Spoon?
Dove stared at the magazine clipping. Somewhere in her pile of oil pastels was the right color, but where was it. Her searching was interrupted by a frantic tugging on her shirt.
"Dove! I can't find the spoons!!” Dove looked down at the confused face of Chibi-Janus and sighed.
"No spoons? Are you sure?” CJ's head bobbed up and down energetically. "Alright, lemme see.” She rinsed off her hands and pulled out a megaphone. "Kadi-chan! Ani-chan! Hara-chan! I need you!” The triplets scurried in. "Ani, woud you make me a spoon please?” She pulled on a oddly-formed coronet and blinked. A silverware chest appeared in midair. Dove opened it. "Knives. . . forks. . . straws. . . chopsticks. . . tongs. . . tweezers. . . ladles. . . no spoons. Nani?"
The girl merely shrugged. "Sorry."
Dove sighed. Something was wrong. She grabbed the red phone that was for emergencies only and started calling everyone she knew.

SPOOOOOOOON!!!
Kat was in her war room, bent over a map. Many different-colored figures were scattered around the continents.
"KAT!” She jumped skittishly, and in doing so, hit the table with her foot and shook the figurines off the map. Getting up, she made a face.
"Damn it! And I was almost halfway to winning, too!” she wailed. She sighed and went upstairs via transport. She opened her mouth to say something when she appeared in the den, but immediately closed it at the sight before her. Vegeta, of course, floated well out of the way, close to the ceiling. His arms were folded and naturally his face was contorted into a mask of disdain. Duo, Gohan (who had powered down from Super Sayajin, for once), Duo-chan, Wu-chan and suprisingly Trunks were having a rough-and-tumble, all-out wrestling match in the floor. Heero sat on the couch, reading the paper calmly, lifting his feet out of the way or moving when necessary but returning to his original stance after the melee was past. Quatre and Evil Tro were nowhere to be seen - they were probably in the kitchen cooking dinner. Wufei. . . well, gods only knew where he was.
"Hey, you guys--” Her plea went unheard. "Oi, will you--”she said a bit louder, but again she was unheard.
Closing her eyes in frustration, she opened them again and walked over to the rolling tangle of limbs and laughter. Heero looked up, smirked at the bit of visible power surrounding her then hid behind his paper to wait for the inevitable crash-landing. Vegeta, triggered from his meditation by her ki, snickered from his perch over the room, watching for the coming explosion. Kat stopped in front of the five boys and waited, hands on her hips.
They rolled straight into her, as she had expected. The squabbling died down as each of them looked up at the stern-faced otaku. Scrambling up, they all stood in front of her, trying to grin and placate her.
"What have I told you about wrestling?” she asked calmly.
"Um. . . no eye gouging?” offered Duo-chan.
"No biting!” added Wu-chan.
"And no unnecessary ki if you're fighting someone without ki power,” said Gohan soberly.
"All of the above are correct,” she said, folding her arms and fixing them with a wilting glare. "However, none of them are the correct answer."
"Do we get a hint?” asked Duo warily.
"It has to do with the location of the wrestling match.” All five of them gulped audibly and looked at their feet uncomfortably.
"Oops.."
"Trowa, where are all the spoons?” came Quatre's voice from the kitchen.
"I don't know, Q. Look in the drawer."
"I did look in the drawer! And the dishwasher and the freezer too!"
"The freezer? Why the Hell would they be in the freezer?"
"If you can't find something where it should be, look in the freezer."
"That's supposed to be refrigerator."
"Well, they're not in there either!” By this time the occupants of the den were all looking toward the kitchen quite curiously. Even Kat's ki had vanished. She went over and opened the shutters separating the kitchen and the den. Quatre started anxiously, banging his head against the top of the refrigerator. "Itai!” He rubbed the growing lump on the back of his head.
"What's all this about not having any spoons?” she asked.
"There. Are. No. Spoons."
"Whaddya mean 'There. Are. No. Spoons.' Of course there's spoons."
"I put them in the drawer, just like I always do,” said Gohan. "Right after the dishwasher finished."
Trowa shrugged. "Not in the drawer, or the dishwasher, or the - "
"Freezer,” interrupted Quatre. Trowa sighed, shaking his head.
"No spoons? Anywhere?” The two shook their heads. Kat chewed on her thumb, thinking. “Spoooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooon!” she yelled in her mind, and giggled to herself before the phone rang.
Kat, who couldn't resist.
Talk about your original fics. . . ^_^
Somehow, although it was much easier, it just wasn't as much fun to build a house of cards when said cards were being held in place with fanfic magic. However, as Spectrum discovered, if you built it while floating upside-down (also via fanfic magic), the lack of fun problem was easily solved. Although you tended to get a slight headache after a little while.
However, Spectrum didn't get a chance to experience the headache this time, as Duo decided to knock down the towering card structure to gain her attention just as she was putting the finishing touches on it. With a somewhat mournful expression, Spectrum regarded her now scattered and strewn-about cards before turning to look up at Duo. "Yes?"
"The spoons are all gone."
Sweatdrop. "That's all?"
"I need a spoon for my ice cream!”he protested.
"Fine. I'll summon one up for you,”Spectrum sighed, snapping her fingers. Duo waited expectantly.
Nothing happened.
"Where's the spoon?”(*giggle* ^_^) asked Duo impatiently.
"Dunno. . . ”Spectrum admitted, frowning. Now that was weird. She knew her fic powers weren't on the fritz, because she was still floating upside-down. So why hadn't a spoon appeared yet?
"Maybe it won't work because there aren't any spoons around to summon."
Startled, Spectrum lost her concentration and fell down. Luckily, Trowa, who had walked up behind her unnoticed, managed to catch her for the most part, preventing serious injury. Duo, who had nearly fallen over himself in surprise, glared at the banged pilot. "Could you please try not to scare the living daylights out of us next time?"
"Gomen,”Trowa apologized, looking a little sheepish.
"Don't sweat it,”Spectrum assured him, having recovered her senses. "So, what brings you down here? Couldn't find any spoons either?"
"We seem to be fresh out."
"Curiouser and curiouser. . . "
There was a pause as each of them pondered over the situation. Duo was the first to speak again, and when he did so, it was with absolute certainty.
"Somebody stole 'em."
Spectrum sweatdropped. Trowa, however, creased his forehead in deep thought, frowning. "Well, I hate to say it, but out of all the possible explanations, it's probably the most feasible,”he said at last.
"Great,”Spectrum muttered. "So some wacko stole all of our spoons."
"Yep."
"Anyone else find this absurdly, outrageously, unimaginably weird?"
Spectrum "Where's the spoon?” Ryuusei
Adding on again
Dove sighed. No one had spoons, and Chibi-Janus was getting impatient. She really didn't want to deal with this fuss much longer, and even using the combined powers of Kadi-chan, Ani-chan, and Hara-chan, who were visiting for the weekend, Dove hadn't been able to get CJ his spoon. "Alright, Ani-chan, could you and Hara-chan watch the house while I'm gone?”Ani nodded. "And if I'm not back by then, please tell your sister to have a bath when she gets back from her adventuring. Chibi-Janus and I are going to see if someone else can lend us a spoon. CJ! Stop trying to turn the cat into a frog (I really do spend too much time obsessing over Chrono Trigger) and get your coat on!”She snapped her fingers and disappeared.
After a few moments of floating in mist, Chibi Janus tugged on Dove's shirt. "Dove? Are we going to go somewhere?"
"Yeah, yeah, just give me a moment. I'll visit Spectrum first.”Dove snapped her fingers again and was surrounded by blue glowing streaks in darkness, a la CT's time traveling sequence. A Gate appeared in Spectrum's kitchen and Dove and Chibi-Janus climbed out. "Excuse me, but may I borrow a spoon, please? We seem to have lost ours?”Dove asked.

I admit it. I'm a Spoony Bard.
"Hn. . . library cataloguing. How dull. . . ", Rain muttered to herself, perched precariously on top of a ridiculously tall ladder as she slid another one of her ancient spellbooks into place on a high shelf. Cursing to herself, she wished she didn't have so many of them damn things, but then again she wouldn't have access to all the spells she did if she didn't, which would really bite. On top of that, the huge chamber with it's vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows-once a chapel of sorts, but converted by the old asylum's resident dhampeal into a library-was quiet as all hell. You could probably hear the dust settle on the shelves, which seemed appropriate enough for a library, but still.. it was boring.
The silence was shattered however, as the heavy doors banged open, and her vampire Duo came running in, yelling at the top of his lungs about a total catastrophe. He also managed to knock her ladder over in the process of running around, and had Rain not snapped her wings open she would have landed on the poor boy's head. "Duo! What's going on? Is it another Paladin?” she asked the obviously out-of-sorts vampire, who looked frazzled enough for it to have been a Paladin, or worse yet, a phalanx of the bastards.
"Worse!"
"What could be worse than that?” Rain muttered to herself, and now her Vincent quite calmly entered the room.
"What Duo's so worked up about, is the fact that there's no spoons. It's not the earth-shattering catastrophe he's making it out to be,” he stated calmly.
Rain blinked again as the former Turk's words sank in."No spoons?” she repeated incredulously.
"Not one. Sporks yes, spoons no,” he said.
Duo wailing most broken-heartedly. "How am I gonna have a spoon fight with Evil Wu now?!"
Rainbow Fright, who's re-thinking that statement.
We must find them!
The world needs spoons!
"You're telling us you don't have any spoons either?” Duo asked. Dove nodded.
"Ours have disappeared too,” Spectrum told her unnecessarily.
"Someone stole them,” Duo added, more certain than ever.
"Or at least that's what we think,” Trowa put in. "It just doesn't make sense otherwise. They're all gone, every last one of them."
"It's the same at my place,” Dove said, nodding again. "I called a few of the others too--none of them have any spoons. And Chibi-Janus is getting a little impatient,” she added as the chibi tugged on her shirt once more. "Guess we'll have to keep trying."
"Need any help?”Spectrum offered. "I've got some free time on my hands anyway, and I'm sure the guys want to get down to the bottom of this.” Both Trowa and Duo nodded. "So, how about it?"
Spectrum
