$7.77 Ficlets

[flonnebonne]

I'm going to be extremely busy in April so I can't participate in help_japan , but I'll write a short ficlet here for anyone who sends $7.77 to the Red Cross disaster relief fund. You don't necessarily have to send the money to Japan (there was a quake in Yunnan, China as well!), but since I lived in Fukushima (i.e. earthquake/tsunami/nuclear central) for

Space Opera

Utena decided one day that she did not want to be a prince on a white horse. She wanted to be an astronaut in a white spacesuit flying on a white shuttle to the white moon.

She was flying through the stars on her white shuttle one day when she happened to glance out her window at the dead black sky. In the dead black sky she saw a castle, an upside-down castle, floating there like it had some business with her.

“Why, hello,” she said to the castle. “Have I met you before?”

Then she realized the absurdity of her question and the absurdity of her imagination, and the castle disappeared.

So Utena continued her lonely hero’s journey.

As she steered her lovely sleek white shuttle into the docking bay of the space station Kibou, she remembered a dream she’d once had of dancing in space surrounded by flowers with her arm around the loveliest rose of them all-- the rose of the earth, which could prick her with its thorns, or brush her skin with its soft red petals and bring her the greatest delight.

“There was a girl in a red dress,” she said to herself with a thoughtful tilt of her head. “A princess in a castle, but who was she?”

The castle flickered into view again. It seemed closer now, almost as if it were...traveling to meet her?

Utena-sama.

What?

Utena-sama! I’ll find you. Wait for me there. I’m redirecting the castle toward the Delpha Quadrant for a while, but the shadow girls said it will only take a few years to complete our mission. Wait for me!

Utena was hearing very weird brain wave signals.

She shook her head, making the castle disappear once again. Castles were for kids anyway. Space stations, now, those were toys for adults.

Utena locked herself up in her white tower, and waited for her princess to come.

I love it! It was time Utena took to the skies.

(Wondering what Anthy's up to in the Delpha quadrant...)

Whew, glad you liked it! This is a very weird fic to come out of my brain. But then Utena is pretty wonderfully weird, so.

(Anthy has to go fight curry aliens! Maybe)
