     The scene outside of Queen Uzume's Dark Castle of Happiness and 
Terror was a busy one in the opinion of the two observers who were 
walking up the rocky dangerous path to Uzume's castle. Repairs were in
full gear and what was once a dark and forbidding castle is now a dark
forbidding castle in a cage of iron girders. In the middle of the 
construction, Uzume in a pink hard hat was growing impatient with the 
foreman.  "Why can't you!?"
     "Anyone can tell that these walls are magically colored!" 
    "I want white walls! How difficult is that and this sky isn't happy 
enough why can't you dischant this gloomy weather spell?!" 
    The foreman was at his limit with this bit(#/lady he didn't spend 
eight years in magical carpentry college to be yelled at he had 
a masters degree.)  Most of his time was spent ignoring her or keeping 
his employees on task.  Her curves were distracting and if it wasn't for 
the fact that she fried three workers already they would be practicing 
all the new stuff they learned in Chauvinistic speech 1000. "As I told 
you before miss we haven't found the focus for these spells.  Are you 
sure their are no more rooms in this castle?" He didn't give her time 
to answer. "We'll have to do a hidden door survey, which means we'll 
need the I.R. equipment, air pressure sensors, and illusion sensors; 
this will cost 100,000 American dollars extra. Shiryo sighed hopelessly, 
"Will this ever end?"

    Meryl was unhappy with herself. She couldn't get out of watching her 
sister Molly. Mother insisted that she take Molly with her to the store 
while she was out on a date with some new boyfrend named Dan. Molly was 
12, she could take care of herself and if not she should learn at her 
age.  She already could cook her own meals and clean her own laundry.  
    They stopped in front of the store. 
   "Molly no candy don't get any and definitely don't conjure up any.
Remember what happened the last time. I will be very angry if I have to 
be strip searched again." 
    That face Molly was trying the cute routine it was inevitable. 
   "What a cute little girl!" said a female voice. Meryl was about to 
give standard reply #254 but there was nobody there. Strange. 
   A cat could it be a disguise, maybe some demon who needs esper blood? 
  "Molly, get behind me." 
  "Wait! I meam you no harm!" said Carlisle
  "I don't belive you! Demons prefer that kind of disguise to sucker in 
little kids. next thing you will say is that I'm some kind of 
reencarnated magical girl destined to save the world," Meryl said in a 
bitter tone.

     Mecavity and Genma were finally at the top of the cliff facing
Uzume and her castle. "Why must you cheat in this bet Mecavity, just 
because Rei is cheating too? Leave Uzume alone." Genma had a bad 
feeling instinct told him to look up @#$#$ more rocks. "Duck!" Genma 
pushed Mecavity out of the way. "AAAHHHHHHHHH  MY TAIL!" Genma's was 
alright except for the tail. 
    "Hey you could pass for a beaver with that tail, it's paper thin." 
Macavity joked while Genma ran around in a fit of pain until he found 
a bucket of water. He put his tail in the bucket, instantly in less pain. 
But the commotion that they made attracted attention. They faced Uzume 
herself. This was not good.  One kobold and one cat, she would think they 
were spies.
    "Um.. Good afternoon miss......" Genma stamered.
    "You must be the image consultant. I asked for one with magical girl 
experence so what do you think should be done with this castle."
    "Accualy I'm here to help you with something else" said Macavity
    "Then you must be a director for the tv show. I'm sorry but I've had 
a change of heart. I'm going to direct it myself!"
    "Nope. We have heard that you expresed an intrest in combat training 
for your armies so I'm here to teach them," said Genma.
