Well, now on to Chapter 3. We've made it to Thursday, and, folks, it can only get loonier from here.

Quick recap, for those of you who have missed the first two chapters and don't want to look:

Sakura's having a sleepover party on Friday, and the guest list is growing by the minute (according to Sprint);
So far, we have Sakura (obviously), her friend that screams and runs off in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (I'd say the name if I knew it), Lilith, Ellis, Washu, Roll, Elena, Narumi, and Kasumi (the Dead or Alive one);
Mihoshi's stuck herself into the guest list elegantly by crashing the ship into Sakura's backyard - luckily, none of Washu's onboard experiments were hurt;
the writer has an evil twin courtesy of Washu that hopefully by now has met Vegita from Dragonball personally;
and Washu has taken this opportunity to test her new time-travel machine, hence leaving Mihoshi with Sakura for a day, with strict instructions not to touch the ship.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank some of the readers responsible for keeping my insanity and choice of background colors in check. Thanks to Anthony Woo and Damien Roc for their comments and catching slip-ups I didn't make on purpose, and a big thank you to the kind and gentle souls that make up the regulars of the MVFC and the UVR, who have done some mild reading of their own coupled with explaining the good idea of putting dark letters on light backgrounds or light letters on dark backgrounds, hence making it possible for you to read this. And, one thank you and humble bowing to Aldrich Bautista, who has offered to place my small testament to insanity in his Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction Archive before I've even finished, and hence brought me to write this up as a temporary listing of credits.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you that there are two other chapters to read, and, if you're wondering about the nitty-gritty details on how some of the things above could have conceivably happened in my disturbed mind, go back and read them. It won't hurt that badly...

Not too many new characters this time around - in fact, there's only one mentioned - primarily due to the fact that, except for Washu and Mihoshi, people shouldn't be arriving this early. It also allows me the chance to foreshadow just about anything I can think to slip in later. Not that the story has more of a plot yet than the sleepover, but it helps to have a few weird things that can happen as I go along. The one we do have, however, is probably the second-most popular character to put into a fanfiction. Created by the One who is Rumiko Takahashi (all bow and create fanfiction ^_^) and owned by the company known as Viz Communications, from her masterpiece of creativity and martial arts we know as Ranma 1/2...eh, I'll make you wait to the end of the chapter on this one. I'm nasty that way. ^_^
