Author's Note: Ah, the prompt/fic goes on. Don't ask me what I was smoking when I decided to write this (for the record, I don't smoke), because I have no idea where these ideas come from, I just write them. I know, I'm odd, but hey, I aim to entertain, and if I accomplish that, I'm happy.
Place your mouse over the Italic Chinese to get the English translations. This piece is beta'd by the lovely
gwenfrewi72 whom I love and adore, unquestionably, because she understands my muse more than I do. That seem right to you?
