Mason
watched Priss sing within Hot Legs one evening.
He was supposed to attend a meeting at GENOM, but decided to play hooky
instead.
He was a fan of Priss and loved her music. His dream was to sing onstage.
After the performance, Priss scowled when Mason
spoke.
She was not impressed when his eyes dazzled.
MASON : Miss Priss ! I am Brian J. Mason and I am
your biggest fan.
I played hooky just to see you perform. I am a dedicated fan.
Would
you like to watch me perform onstage ? It is my dream.
Priss shrugged and stepped offstage.
She watched him approach the microphone as she blended with the audience.
He began to sing as music played behind him. He
performed Ai wa Bumerang from Urusei Yatsura,
Back to Paradise from GUNDAM 0083, Devil and Angel' s Kiss and Crisis Run with
Anger from BGC.
He smiled at Priss.
Leon approached him.
LEON : What are you up to, Brian J. Mason ?
MASON : That is none of your concern.
LEON : What excuse did you create to get out of a
GENOM meeting tonight ?
PRISS : GENOM ?
She looked at Mason and smiled. She was
impressed.
PRISS : You must be a dedicated fan if you are
eager to abandon GENOM.
Mason smiled and nodded while shutting his eyes.
Priss turned her head when she saw Linna.
LINNA : I apologize for being late, Priss. My car
had a busted tire and....
Hearts replaced her eyes when she saw Mason.
LINNA : Who is he ?
LEON : Brian J. Mason.
Mason looked at Linna.
MASON : You are ?
LINNA : Linna Yamazaki.
Mason was surprised when she linked her arm
around his arm.
LINNA : Are you taken ?
MASON : Well....
Linna released him. She was now annoyed.
LINNA : Who is she ?
MASON : He.
Linna, Priss, and Leon gasped.
LINNA : Who is he ?
MASON : He is my Boomer bodyguard. He is tall. He
has blonde hair. He is at home. He is still upset over the baby turtle he
killed yesterday.
LINNA : Baby turtle ?
MASON : We were in a van and I was blowing
bubbles. I had bubblegum in my mouth. Anyway,
the bubble burst and there was bubblegum all over my face.
I mentioned a bubblegum
crisis and started laughing.
Just then, there is a thud and
my partner and I get out of the van.
There was a dead baby turtle.
I proceeded to yell at my
Boomer.
I called him a baby turtle killer and told him about its family chasing us.
I informed him that the AD Police would laugh us right out of the station. Isn’t
that right, Leon ?
LEON : How do I know that you are not making this
story up ?
Mason removed a phone from his suit.
MASON : You can call him and ask him.
Leon took the phone after Mason gave him the
number.
LEON : This is Leon. Mr. Mason has not been faithful.
Mason gasped.
LEON : Mr. Mason has been with several other
Boomers per night.
He never liked you. By the way, his employer needs to know about his truancy. You
can stop growling now.
Mason snatched the phone.
MASON : I would never betray you. Hello ?
He did not hear anything until Leon started
laughing.
LEON : Idiot !
Mason walked away.
Priss and Linna followed him.
He
turned his head.
MASON : Why are you following me ?
PRISS : Don¹ t feel bad. I can¹ t stand Leon
either.
Mason smiled until a Combat Boomer appeared. He was
alert. He watched it aim its arm at Linna and Priss. He could not let them die.
He stepped in front of them. The bullet penetrated his chest.
PRISS : MASON !
She caught him.
Mason whispered to her.
MASON : If you see Funk, tell him that he will be
alone for a long time. I am so glad that I made my dream come true.
He started to breathe slowly until he died.
Priss scowled as she looked up. She watched the
Combat Boomer run away.
PRISS : Damn Boomers shooting anything that moves
!
She stood and started to walk away until she
heard Linna gasp.
Her eyes widened.
Mason
was now a little boy. He seemed frightened and confused.
PRISS : We had better take him to Silky Doll and show
him to Sylia. She would know how to raise children.
LINNA : We can¹ t leave him here.
Priss lifted Chibi Mason and walked with Linna to
the Silky Doll as Leon appeared.
LEON : I will ask Priss out some other time.
Sylia, Mackie, and Nene were curious when they
saw Priss and Linna with the child.
SYLIA : Who is the little visitor ?
PRISS : Brian J. Mason.
Sylia and Mackie gasped.
Sylia was about to slap Chibi Brian J. Mason
until Priss caught her wrist.
PRISS : I will not tolerate child abuse.
She released her.
MACKIE : How did he....?
PRISS : When he was an adult, he sacrificed
himself to save us from a Boomer.
Perhaps he was reborn as a child so that he would begin another life.
Sylia scowled when she looked at Chibi Mason.
SYLIA : You may be a child, but you are still a
murderer.
Chibi Mason tilted his head to the side.
SYLIA : You really don¹ t remember do you ?
Wide eyed, Chibi Mason shook his head.
Sylia proceeded to show him a data unit.
NENE : Wait, Sylia ! Children should not be exposed to
violence.
Sylia ignored her.
Chibi Mason watched a smiling man pull a trigger
and kill a father of two children.
He gasped.
CHIBI MASON : Who is that bad man ?
SYLIA : He is you.
CHIBI MASON : NO HE ISN¹ T !
Sylia was about to spank him until Nene pulled
him by the arm.
NENE : Sylia, he is only a little boy. Don¹ t
punish him for a crime he can’t recall.
Chibi Mason continued to watch the data unit as
tears exited his wide eyes. He sobbed when he saw his adult self steal a family
man’s life.
He did not know who the sad girl with the long
black hair was.
CHIBI MASON : Who ?
SYLIA : I was that girl waiting for my father to
return home. He never did because of you.
PRISS : Sylia !
She held the boy who wept noisily on her chest.
PRISS : Let¹ s give Mason another chance. Perhaps
he can grow up to be a gentleman this time.
SYLIA : More like a spoiled brat.
LINNA : Chibi Mason is a good boy now.
Chibi Mason smiled while shutting his eyes and
nodding.
MACKIE : Sylia, you raised me so why can¹ t you
raise Chibi Mason ?
SYLIA : You did not kill our father.
She was surprised when the little boy hugged her
and wept uncontrollably.
He apologized several times.
LINNA : In order to celebrate Chibi Mason¹ s new
life, we can have a slumber party.
NENE : SLUMBER PARTY AT SYLIA¹ S !
Sylia sighed.
SYLIA : Very well. Everyone, be there at 6:00 PM
sharp.
Priss, Nene, Linna, and Chibi Mason nodded.
LINNA : Where will Chibi Mason stay ?
Chibi Mason embraced Priss.
PRISS : Would you really want to stay in a
trailer ?
The little boy smiled and nodded.
Priss smiled at Chibi Mason.
PRISS : Let¹ s get ready for your first slumber
party, Chibi Mason.
She took him to her trailer where they packed pillows,
sleeping bags, etc. She eventually knocked on the door that Mackie opened.
MACKIE : Hi Priss and Chibi Brian J. Mason.
He let them in.
Nene had been the first guest to arrive. She wore
a pink robe and had a teddy bear.
Chibi Mason watched her spin in a chair.
NENE : Hiiii !
Sylia appeared.
PRISS : What will we be doing at this slumber
party ?
Sylia scowled when she looked at Chibi Mason.
SYLIA : Telling horror stories about my father¹ s
ghost haunting the little son of a....
Nene manually concealed Sylia¹ s mouth.
NENE : How old are you, Chibi Mason ?
Mason held up four fingers.
Nene removed her hand from Sylia¹ s mouth.
Sylia looked at the AD Police officer.
SYLIA : If he had killed your father, you would
not be so quick to take his side.
NENE : Hmph !
Sylia opened the door when there was a knock.
SYLIA : Linna !
She was the only Saber who wore a slip.
Linna was dressed in black pajamas. She joined
Priss, Mason, Sylia, and Nene.
The Sabers sat in a sphere.
LINNA : What are we going to do ?
NENE : PLAY TRUTH OR DARE !
PRISS : Pig out.
Sylia stood and walked away before returning with
four straws.
SYLIA : We are going to draw straws to see who
gets to sleep in my bed.
Whoever has the shortest straw wins no matter what.
Priss, Chibi Mason, Nene, and Linna all chose
straws.
PRISS : You have the shortest straw, Chibi Mason.
Sylia gasped.
SYLIA : I am not going to allow a murderer to
sleep in my bed.
PRISS : You said no matter what, Sylia.
SYLIA : HMPH !
CHIBI MASON : Girls only party ?
He looked at Mackie.
MACKIE : Oh ! I should be leaving now.
He grinned when holding up two fingers.
MACKIE : Bye !
He collapsed on his face when Priss threw a
pillow at him.
PRISS : This is a girls only party !
She looked at Chibi Mason.
PRISS : Right, Chibi Mason ?
The boy smiled and nodded.
NENE : GROUP HUG !
She embraced everyone.
She smiled at the small boy.
NENE : Life with you is never boring. You provide
hours of endless entertainment.
Chibi Mason used a pillow to hit her face.
CHIBI MASON : So there !
LINNA : PILLOW FIGHT !
Everyone participated in the cushion war which
ended when Sylia walked away.
A few minutes later, she returned with four hot
chocolate mugs on a tree.
Chibi Mason watched Priss, Nene, Sylia, and Linna
take a cup.
He was about to cry until Priss shared her hot chocolate.
SYLIA : Are you going to give him whatever he
wants when he cries now ?
Priss frowned.
PRISS : You don¹ t even like Chibi Mason a little
?
Sylia¹ s scowl caused Nene to hide behind Linna.
NENE : Sylia is scaring me. Hide me, Linna.
PRISS : You know you like Chibi Mason, Sylia. He
is different now.
SYLIA : Do you want to know what I really think
of Chibi Mason ?
She held a drawing pad and sketched something. The
sketch depicted a massive block with a neck attached. The words Chibi Brian J.
Mason were written above it.
Chibi Mason¹ s lower lip trembled as his eyes
filled with tears.
PRISS : Sylia !
SYLIA : This blockhead looks just like you, Chibi
Mason !
She set the drawing on a table.
She stood and turned out the living room lights.
She returned to the sphere.
SYLIA : Scary story time!
I
will tell the first tale which is true.
It was a dark and stormy night....
She pointed at Chibi Mason while shouting.
SYLIA : BRIAN J. MASON WAS BORN !
Nene held her teddy bear firmly.
NENE : How scary !
PRISS : Nene !
SYLIA : Perhaps you would like to describe my
father¹ s murder, Mr. Chibi Mason.
Tell everyone how good it felt to watch a man¹ s blood leave his body. Are you
getting more and more stupid per second ?
PRISS : Stop picking on someone who is smaller
than you, Sylia.
SYLIA : PRISS IS NOT YOUR BABY SITTER, BRIAN J.
MASON !
She stopped herself.
SYLIA : I slipped that time.
Chibi Mason hit her leg.
CHIBI MASON : So did I.
SYLIA : I am going to make your life a living
hell, Chibi Mason.
CHIBI MASON : Too late.
Sylia looked at Nene.
SYLIA : Nene, you are with the AD Police. Arrest
Chibi Mason for indecent exposure.
Nene and Chibi Mason proceeded to tilt their
heads.
SYLIA : I don¹ t want to see Chibi Mason¹ s face
for the rest of the night.
PRISS : He probably feels the same way about you,
Sylia.
LINNA : Chibi Mason and Priss could go for a
walk.
PRISS : Sylia would probably lock us out.
SYLIA : Chibi Mason is a total dunce !
Linna stretched her arms and yawned.
LINNA : Nighty night, everyone.
She fell asleep before Nene did the same.
SYLIA : That was random.
She scowled when she watched Chibi Mason sit on
her lap and look up at her.
She saw his honest smile.
SYLIA : If anything happens to my bed, you will
be sleeping outside.
CHIBI MASON : Yes, Grandmother.
Sylia was now angry.
SYLIA : WHAT ?!
Priss and Chibi Mason pulled down their eyelids
while displaying their tongues.
They entered Sylia¹ s room and got ready for bed.
CHIBI MASON : Sylia thinks that just because I am
a little kid, I don¹ t have feelings.
Priss smiled.
PRISS : Don¹ t let her get to you.
CHIBI MASON : I love you, Miss Priss.
Priss smiled back at him without saying anything.
Chibi Mason shut his eyes. He opened them when he
heard steps in the hall.
He looked around the dark room. He was nervous when he watched the knob turn.
He saw the door slowly open. He could not see anything or anyone in the dark.
The steps were now near the bed. He could hear heavy breathing in his ear.
The scratching on the wooden parts of the bed terrified him so he used the
blanket to hide.
He prayed for whatever it was to disappear as he slid the comforter down his
nose.
He looked ahead and was scared out of his mind when he watched Dr.
Stingray rot !
The hideous face was inches from him. Dr. Stingray¹ s sunken eyes moved.
He grinned forever. He held a gun and pointed it at Chibi Mason who recalled
the murder.
Chibi
Mason gasped when he felt the wet area where he was sitting.
The bed was soaked.
He
looked down and then up. Dr. Stingray was now gone.
He tapped Priss on her shoulder which caused her
to wake up.
PRISS : Hm ?
CHIBI MASON : How angry do you think Sylia will
be ?
Priss stared at the ruined bed.
PRISS : Knowing her, she will scream for your
death.
CHIBI MASON : Eep !
His smile was nervous.
CHIBI MASON : Maybe Sylia won¹ t know.
He gasped when the Knight Saber leader appeared.
SYLIA : Maybe Sylia won¹ t know what ?
She scowled when she saw his wet pajama bottom.
SYLIA : GET OUT ! GET OUT OF MY BED !
Chibi Mason obeyed. He screamed after Sylia
spanked him.
SYLIA : GET OUT OF MY HOUSE !
Priss followed Chibi Mason who started to cry and
run.
SYLIA : Little baby !
Chibi Mason stood outside in the pouring rain.
He held his arms because of the cold air.
The storm concealed the tears that did not stop exiting his eyes. He sobbed for
awhile.
He was startled when Priss touched his shoulder
that went up and down.
He turned his head.
CHIBI MASON : Miss Priss !
His obvious anguish hurt her.
Chibi Mason imagined a young Sylia weeping
because of her dead father.
He imagined blood on his tiny palms.
He collapsed on his knees as he stared at his
reflection in a puddle.
His tears were now bloody.
He gasped when he saw the adult Mason within the
puddle.
His cruel smile caused Chibi Mason to scream.
CHIBI MASON : BAD MAN ! BAD ! BAD ! BAD !
Priss held his arms firmly.
PRISS : Chibi Mason !
She heard him sneeze and held him.
PRISS : What you did can¹ t be reversed, but you
can become a new man.
CHIBI MASON : Make Sylia and that terrible man go
away.
He sobbed on her chest as the sky wept with him.
THE END.
