Sailor Pi

Fighting fractions by moonlight
Challenging teachers by daylight
Reading Shakespeare at midnight
She is the one named Sailor Pi

She would never forget a math operation
Or the rules of heat condensation
Pi is the symbol for a new generation
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one
Sailor Pi!



Mark and Roger"She said 'Would you sharpen my pencil?' and she put on a pout and she wanted you to take her out tonight?" Mark had just met up with his old roommate Roger, who had told him about his encounter with Bizzie.

"Um, no, she just wanted me to sharpen her pencil."

"Oh."

"Hey guys," Kenny said, sitting down next to Mark.

"Hey Kenny! Meet my old roommate Roger. He's just coming back from half a year of withdrawl."

"Withdrawl? From what?"

"Free AOL RPG."

"What's RPG?" Mark rolled his eyes at Kenny's ignorance.

"Say Kenny, do you know a girl named Bizzie?" Roger asked Kenny.

"Yeah, why?"

"What do you think of her?" Kenny coughed multiple times.

"Well, I, um, er..."

"That's all I wanted to know."

"So how come you're here?"

"Well, I happened to meet up with Sailor Pluto and she gave me one o' those keys..."

"Hey, I got one too!" exclaimed Mark.

"I noticed."

"Are you a Tomorrow Person too, Roger?" Kenny asked him.

"I could be," Roger replied, "But I haven't broken out yet."

"What you need is to be in a situation of extreme danger," Mark told him.

"Or extreme humiliation," said Arpiana.

"Arpiana, where'd you come from?"

"I teleported, duh! Who's the guy with the guitar?"

"That's Roger. He's just coming back from half a year of withdrawl."

Arpi and Kenny"Ah, the RPG days. So many memories..."

"What are you talking about??" Kenny asked.

"Mithril shields, ora swords, imflass armor..." Mark's eyes glazed over.

"Uhhhhh"

"Ruby amulets, trips to Terris Isle, the caves..."

"Arpi?" "South, west, go in, south, check in, get new skills!" "Train in swimming this time," Roger told her, lost in a trance. "You guys digress too much," Kenny said, trying to get away from the topics he'd never heard of.

"Right," said Arpiana, "We have to get down to business. What if Benny wants to build another Cyber Art Studio?"
,br> "What?!?" Again, Kenny was left out.

"You mean you met our ex-roommate Benny?" Roger couldn't believe it. He had gone back to his teenage years to get away from Benny, not to meet up with him again.

"Yep, and he probably teleported out before the walls caved in. All of you have to be extremely careful, especially you, Roger."

"Right. He doesn't just want Mark, he wants me too."

"Wait a second, I thought you got sucked into space, Mark." Kenny's comment was rather stupid and completely ignored by everyone else.

"Maybe we should get some money together and pay the rent."

"No!" cried Mark, "He broke his word, this is absurd!"

"Then we'll have to fight back," Arpiana reasoned. "Everyone stay on the lookout. Mark, guard your jaunting belt with your life. Roger, try to break out. Kenny, get a clue. I'm outta here." With a flash of light, Arpiana was gone.

"Why won't you tell me what you're talking about?" Kenny complained.

"If we told you," said Mark, "We'd have to kill you."
