(Author's Rantings)------------------------------------------ This episode is one file, but two parts. The reason is simple. I had two titles that I wanted to use and I couldn't decide which one to adopt, so, I used 'em both! It's also quite a lengthy addition to the tale. Enjoy! ^_^ PS. This episode is dedicated to KwaiMeowth@aol.com and his LOVE of DragonBall Z. Hey, Kwai! If you're realllllly nice, I may even include a Sailor Moon ripoff in the future! YAY! (Beginning of Story)----------------------------------------- Episode Twenty: (part 1) I am Delet: Hear Me Roar! Narrator: (Over shot of Delet scampering hot on the trail of Sabrina and Teem.) When last we left our friends, Teem had set off with Sabrina to train his skills. Sabrina seemed to find Teem quite an interesting little fellow, which didn't settle too well with Delet. Delet: (Looks up with an evil fire in her eyes and a purple- black menacing background.) I'll say it didn't settle well! I will have my revenge! Narrator: Hey! I thought you could only speak English when you were in a Saiyan form? Delet: (Keeps up her speed.) Yeah, well times change... (The scene cuts to Teem standing on his head, looking deeply bewildered. Sabrina is standing nearby and giving him ran- dom tasks to perform.) Teem: (His face slowly turns a deepening shade of purple.) ::dizzyblink:: Sabrina, I don't see what standing on my head will do for me physically or psychically, except give me a headache! @_@ Sabrina: Just be patient, cutey! That's only part of this ex- ercise. For the next part, I want you to lift that object using only the power of your mind. (She points to a late model 1978 Millenium Falcon.) Teem: Er... Okay, I guess... (He squints, concentrating hard on the ship when Delet bursts in to the gym.) Delet: (Still in Delet form, she kicks open the gym doors and shakes a fist at Sabrina.) I will not be ignored, do you hear me? I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!!! Sabrina: (Blinks at Delet and tilts her head to one side.) What? (She looks at Teem as if to ask for an explanation.) Teem: Oh, hi, Delet! Sorry if we ignored you, but look at THIS! (He points his tail to the now floating Millenium Falcon.) How cool is that? ^_^ (Delet snarls and uses her OWN psychic prowess to move it dir- ectly over Sabrina and tries to cause Teem to drop it.) Delet: (Runs over to Teem and starts kicking him.) GRRR! Drop it! Drop it! Drop it!!! Fall down! Fall down! Teem: Delet! OW! Cut it out! Sabrina: (Walks over to the bickering couple and picks Delet up gently.) Oh, I'm sorry, you cute little thing! (Tickles her belly.) You just wanted some attention, didn't you? ^_^ Delet: (Laughing uncontrollably.) BLAST! HAHAHAH! Foiled aga-- HAHAHAHAHA! Foiled again! Mark my words, Sa-HAHA-Sabrina, I shall have my REVE--HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! KNOCK IT OFF! (Slaps Sabrina's hand away.) Teem: Delet! Stop that! (He hops up and grabs Delet. The Mill- enium Falcon crashes a few feet behind Sabrina. Delet starts snarling again.) I'm sorry, Sabrina. Delet has a bit of an attitude problem sometimes. (He tosses her out of the gym and closes the doors. Delet lands on the floor then hops back up and presses her ear against the door.) Sabrina: (Sympathetic.) Aw! Don't be so mean to her, Teemie- kins! Everyone gets a little rude sometimes! Delet: ::blinkblink:: TEEMIEKINS? Teem: (Angrily.) Delet's rude too often. She thinks she owns me or something... Delet: (Evil glare.) Grrrr... Sabrina: ::blink:: Maybe she's going through some kind of pokémon PMS... Delet: (Screams.) THAT'S IT! LEMME' IN THERE! (Bangs on the doors furiously.) DEATH TO ALL WHO OPPOSE ME!!! (Little yellow lines and stars and other such things appear to rep- resent anger [hey, it's a cartoon, right?]) Sabrina: (Motions toward the doors.) See what I mean? Teem: (Mumbling something uncharacteristic in English.) Yeah, yeah, yeah... Well, what's my next test? (Bry walks up to Delet, who is still pounding at the doors.) Bry: Delet, can we talk? Delet: Take a HIKE, Fry-Boy! This doesn't concern you! (She growls loudly.) Bry: Well, I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you, but I just happen to be the world's greatest relationship coun- selor... Delet: (Rolls her eyes.) As if I didn't know... Bry: Yeah, I thought you'd act that way... (Sweatdrop take.) Anyway, I believe it's necessary to inform you that you pro- bably won't get on Teem's good side by behaving this way... Delet: Shut up... (Pounds on the doors some more.) Bry: Look, Delet. Teem likes nice girls, and you want him to like you, right? Delet: Yes, I do. And if he likes nice girls so much, why did he have such a crush on Jessie? Bry: Jessie's nice at heart... Delet: Quit trying to confuse me with the truth! > <; (She blasts at him with a fire attack.) Bry: EEP! O o; (Jumps out of the way.) Fine then! Do what you want! See if I care! (He stomps off muttering. The fire blast bursts through the front door.) Max and Sirius: o O; We hit on a poké--(The fire blasts them.) --YAAAAAAARGH!!! (Flash back to Teem and Sabrina.) Sabrina: Alright, hotstuff, we'll go with a simple exercise this time. Try building up your muscles on the punching bag. Teem: Sure it won't hit back? (Whimpers and swishes his tail around.) Sabrina: (Rolls her eyes.) No, it won't hit back, sweetheart. Teem: Okay... (Winds up for a massive punch.) (Delet kicks the door open again. This time, she is in Saiyan form again and dressed like a ninja. She flings 6 of those, uh, star-shaped... metal... thingies at Sabrina at the same time that Teem punches the bag. The bag swings back and whaps Teem who gets flung back, knocking Sabrina down and out of the line of fire. The stars just barely miss Sabrina and strike the wall.) Delet: ARRGH! Teem: (Picks his glasses up and puts them back on.) I thought you said it wouldn't hit back! > < Sabrina: (Dizzily.) Who? What? When? Where? (The song "Gonna' Fly Now" from the Rocky movies starts to play over scene changes of Sabrina training Teem and Delet's various attempts to kill her. Sabrina and Teem are, of course, oblivious to each attempt. As the scenes begin, Teem is terrible at everything. He gets knocked over by the punching bag. He tries to hold an object over his head and is crushed. He tries to keep up a running pace with Sabrina on a bike and passes out after a mile. You get the idea... Rocky spoofs. Delet tries to shoot at Sabrina, shock her, and other various forms of murder. You know... Fatal Attrac- tion spoofs. As the weeks pass, Teem grows stronger and the song ends with Teem running up the steps to the gym [like in "Rocky"].) Episode 20: (part 2) Psychic Showdown! Sabrina: (Runs up after him, smiling.) Congratulations, Teem! You've done it! ^_^ Teem: (Strong and muscular, but still extremely childlike. He hugs Sabrina, picking her up.) Who da' man, huh? Who da' man? ^_^ Delet: (Kicks the doors open again [yes, she's still a Saiyan] and is dressed in army fatigues.) That's it... (Speaks with a low, sinister tone.) If I can't have Teem, no one can! (She pulls out a huge machine gun and aims it in Sabrina's face.) EAT LEAD, BABY! Sabrina: EEEEEEEEEEEK!!! (Of course she screams! What else do you think she'd do if that happened?) Teem: AAGH! (Drops Sabrina with a thud.) Delet! What are you doing? Delet: (Swings the gun in his face.) SHUT UP, TEEM! Unless you want to be FIRST! Sabrina: Why are you acting like this, Delet? Delet: I'll tell you why... (She turns to face Sabrina, but still holds the gun close to Teem's face.) I love Teem! I love him with all my heart! But does he love me in return? NO! (Teem starts making strange noises as Delet's grip on the trigger tightens. Delet struggles to keep from crying, but a tear runs down her cheek anyway.) So I'm going to kill all of us! (Teem turns pale and passes out.) Sabrina: ::blinkblink:: Sounds like the plot to a movie... Bry: (Opens the door and grins at Delet.) Didn't work, did it? HAHA! Delet: PUT A SOCK IN IT! (Aims the gun at him.) Bry: Okay! Shuttin' up! ^_^; (Max and Sirius leap out and grab Delet.) Delet: AAAGH! Let go of me, you creeps! (She tries to break free.) Bry: Oh, look at the time! Gotta' go! (He dashes back into the gym to avoid being blamed for their arrival.) Sabrina: I must say that this is most certainly not a kind way to make an entrance. Max: Shut up, Psy-Girl! This is OUR pokémon! Sirius: Yes, so if you'd be so kind as to leave us alone, we'd feel greatly pleased. Sabrina: (Holds up her arm as a mysterious green light sur- rounds it.) I'm grateful that you two stopped Delet's ram- page, but I'm afraid I'll have to lay the smack-down on you. You understand, I'm sure. (She gets ready to blast them.) Sirius: Oh, we understand... Max: We understand perfectly... (He grins as Sirius freezes Sabrina in place.) Delet: Oh, smart move, Sabrina... - -; Sirius: I love being a Saiyan! ^_^ Teem: (Conveniently and characteristically reawakens.) Huh? ::blinkblink:: (Looks around groggily.) Hey, why didn't you guys tell me there was a party? Sabrina: Snap out if it, Teem! Max: Hey! Shut up, you're frozen! Sirius: Well... she's not entirely frozen... ^_^; Delet: Teem! HELP!!! > < Teem: ::blinkblink:: GAK! (Jumps up and rolls up his sleeves.) Alright, boys, let's get ready to rumble. Max: (Lets go of Delet and leaps in front of Teem. Max ob- viosly lives for action segments like these.) You got it, big boy! I'm gonna' open a can on on your blue butt! Sirius: (Rolls his eyes.) Apparently, our friend Teem hasn't grown intellectually at all... (He lets go of Delet and poses dramatically at Max's side.) Let's see what you've learned, Teem! (Max, Teem, and Sirius break out into a DragonBall Z type of fight sequence. Sabrina and Delet are seen talking over the sound of fighting and various things being shouted.) Sabrina: (Sigh.) I hate it when these fan-fics get all male- machismic... Delet: Tell me about it... (Big heart eyes.) I'd prefer a romantic story with me and Teem any day! Sabrina: You really do like him, don't you? Delet: (Nods sadly.) Yes... but you can have him... Sabrina: No, that's okay. He's not my type. I prefer someone like Bry. Bry: (Pops up in front of Delet and Sabrina.) YOU CALLED? ^_^ (The scene cuts back to Max, Sirius, and Teem. Teem falls over and tries to get back up as Sirius and Max walk up to him, laughing.) Sirius: It's a pity that we're forced to do this, Teem. Max: Yeah, we hate to have to kill you... (Grins evilly.) (Bry, Sabrina, and Delet gasp.) Sirius: It's business, old chap. I'm sure you understand... Teem: Understand THIS, bucko! (He holds up both of his hands and gains an eery glow.) Sirius: Oh, please, Teem. Cease. I'm terrified. (He rolls his eyes.) Max: ::blinkblink:: Uh... Actually, I'm kind of scared... (Hides behind Sirius.) Sirius: Don't be infantile, Maxwell, Teem's charging up for one of the most simple attacks known to all of Saiyan ki-- (Sirius and Max are suddenly blasted and sent flying into the air screaming.) Max: SIMPLE ATTACK, HUH? Sirius: Hmm... it appears that our colleague has become some what of a SuperSaiyan... Max: Shut up! And don't call me Maxwell ever again! Bry: (Dances around waving little flags.) ALRIGHT, TEEM! Sabrina: (Unfreezes and falls to the ground.) OOF! > <; Delet: TEEMY!!! (Hugs Teem.) Teem: (Picks up Delet and hugs her close.) How'd I do? Sabrina: (Stands up and dusts herself off, then pulls a clip- board from behind her.) Well, you flunked on the insanely jealous, homicidal girlfriend test, but you've received an "A+" in everything else including the unexpected villain test! ^_^ You passed! Teem: Thank the eternal love of Great Uncle Herschel's sweat- socks in clam juice! I'm da' man! WHOOO! ^_^ Delet: That's my Teem! ^_^ (Teem smiles and kisses Delet.) ::blinkblink:: WOOOHOO! (She grabs him and kisses him again.) Sabrina: Awww... aren't they cute, Bry? Bry: Adorable... you know, Sabrina... I am practicing to be the world's greatest boyfriend... would you help me train? (He becomes powerfully "Brock-like.") Beh heh heh heh... Sabrina: Bry! I'm shocked! Bry: (Looks down sadly.) Sorry... - -; Sabrina: I thought you'd never ask! (Kisses him.) Narrator: Ah, young love. Few things are more heart-warming than such a moment. Now that Teem has completed his quest, however, we must now turn our attention to his friends. Will Teem be able to catch up with them by the time the Pokémon League Tournament begins? Only time will tell! (Jessie and James enter the scene and walk up to the gym just in time to see both of the couples kissing peacefully.) James: Eee... ::blinkblink:: o O; Jessie: What has Teem been DOING anyway? To Be Continued...
