And here's another piece of text.
Dec. 5th, 2008 12:47 pmYet again! Included is the omake.
The door slams close after a score of people walk out of a studio…
Yuuna: MY GOD! How long have we been in there!?
Kazumi: I actually can’t remember the last time I’ve seen this freedom…the light! IT BURNS!
Ako: NO! I DID NOT DO IT! I’M INNOCENT! WAAAH!
Chisame: *who has been outside for a long time* Hey genius, you’re not on camera.
Ako: But it felt like my real life since I’ve been in there so long…
Yuuna: …locked up in the deep dark corner…never drop the soap.
Haruna: Actually it didn’t seem so bad!
Kazumi: Says the person who hasn’t actually done anything in there for ages.
Ku Fei: WAIT WAIT WAIT WAAAAIT!!!!
Everybody SCREECHES to a stop!
Ku Fei: If we out here, we are in omake now no, arune!?
Chisame: Okay, the broken Japanese is seriously giving me a headache. YOU’RE NOT IN ROLE!
Ku Fei: I in there so long I lose Japanese grammar skills, aru.
Misora: Hey guys! Where have you been? I can’t believe the omake came back on air! It hasn’t been on TV for like a whole entire year!
Everybody: …
Misora: …what?
Yuuna: So this is the lucky bitch who hasn’t appeared in the torture drama yet, huuuuuh?
Misora: Oh yeah. You guys had to go do some chick lesbian flick about butch girls in prison non-stop after the farm story was put on hiatus! How was it? I felt soooo left out.
Kazumi: Have you even been watching it?
Misora: I happen to be Christian and watching something so vile would be a sin, actually…BUT HOW WAS IT!?
Chisame: I hate you.
Yuuna: I also hate you.
Ku Fei: Hate be cast on you by me, aru.
Ako: I don’t like to hate people, but I still hate you.
Haruna: Aw c’mon guys. That was pretty cool. I mean we have to come back right? It’s not finished!
Kazumi: Actually I think my role is cool. Better than being the idiot character in ‘Dogger’ anyway. Eheheheh, I win ALL the time! WHO IS COOL!?
Everybody: …
Kazumi: Pft, you guys are just jealous of my kickass role.
Yuuna: I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT ROLE!
Haruna: But that would have made it Kazumi/Ako! OMFG! CRACK PAIRING! *takes out notepad* Note to self, draw sexy doujins of this new pairing later.
Ku Fei: Role mine I like, aru!
Chisame: OKAY! YOUR JAPANESE WAS NOT THAT BAD IN THAT DRAMA! NO! STOP BUTCHERING IT FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY!
Ku Fei: Chisame role fit her very good, she angry all the time like herself, aruyo!
Sayo: *flies by* Ah! Asakura-san! You’re baaack!!!
Kazumi: What!? IT CAN’T BE! YOU’RE DEAD!
Sayo: …
Yuuna: GASP! Sayo is ALIVE!? But she was stabbed fifty-two times by that psychobitch!
Sayo: …hah?
Chisame: FOR THE LAST TIME YOU’RE NOT IN ROLE!
Kazumi: Oh what a glorious day! My love has returned and my world is not upside-down anymore! *hugs Sayo like never before*
Yuuna: Ako! This is Sayo, the perfect girl who died that made our lives slightly worse when you came.
Ako: Uhm, but we’re not in role. I know who Sayo is.
Yuuna: WHAT IS THIS!? YOU HAVE LIED TO ME ALL THIS TIME WHEN YOU HAVE CRITICIZED ME WITH MY LIES!? You are a hypocrite and I am shocked!!!
Misora: Well this is really weird, say we should really get to doing omake stuff.
Ku Fei: But this strange, it feel as if omake not supposed to be now happening, aruyo!
Chisame: I don’t know why I hang around with you people.
Haruna: Now I know why! It’s because omakes happen AFTER the main dish and there is NOTHING prior to this omake, so this isn’t an omake!
Kazumi: Is it…gasp…the main dish!?
Misora: No, I think it’s because our director is missing her director’s chair. Here you go Sayo!
Sayo: Oh! Thank you very much. *sits* WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING AT THE PARKING LOT OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO!?
Misora: Oh…now I remember why I had chills up my spine whenever I picked up that chair.
Sayo: LET’S GET BACK INTO THAT STUDIO!
Ako: Wait! But that’s the Wi—
Sayo: NO OBJECTIONS! WE HAVE TO START THE OMAKE!
Yuuna: Sayo, no! That’s the horrible place we were locked inside for so long—
Sayo: STOP STALLING AND GET IN THERE!
Kazumi: I do whatever my Sayo asks! *walks right in* OH GOD! THE HUMANITY!
Everybody, even the people not in the story, is shoved back into the WIOC studio.
Kazumi: So like, I totally love to smoke, but I’m never going to admit that because smoking is actually uncool in real life and will probably kill me painfully and slowly.
Yuuna: And I killed someone. I’m badass, and that gives me reason to whine about it all the time to everybody around me, since I’m totally guilty about it.
Ako: I’m scared because I’m innocent but I don’t really know if I’m innocent or not, either way I’m too weak to do anything and I fail.
Chisame: Actually since I haven’t appeared in a while I’m just standing here at the side watching this horrible show unfold.
Haruna: Saaaaaaaame.
Misora: Wow, this place is kind of cool. It’s all dark and you guys are wearing orange gis!
Chisame: They’re prison outfits.
Misora: …no, seriously?
Ku Fei: IT A RIOT! WE ARE FIGHTING! KUNG-FU CHINESE MAFIA THUG KICK! HIIYAH!
Kazumi: <insert witty comment here>
Yuuna: <insert not as witty comeback with a reference to horrible past here>
Ako: <insert unnecessary apology and some morally good here>
Misora: This is really interesting.
Sayo: THIS IS NOT THE OMAKE! STOP BEING SUCH EMO HAGS AND TAKE OFF THOSE RIDICULOUS ORANGE OUTFITS YOU’RE WEARING!
Yuuna: Hey, someone said we have to take off our clothes! Crap! Are we being strip-searched?
Kazumi: God that totally sucks. I hate it when they do that. I mean I got dignity man.
Ako: They will see my scar! Waaah!
Kazumi: If they try to sexually harass me I’m going to burn them with my cigarette.
Sayo: STOP SPEAKING SUCH NONSENSE AND GET CHANGED!
Kazumi: It appears that maybe we’re just taking a shower at the showers.
Haruna: Aren’t we in the middle of some riot?
Ku Laozi: *dons beard* No! We must go take showers! For today’s lesson kids, is that taking showers is very important! If you don’t take baths you’ll start to smell and no one will like you, and that is bad! Even us convicted felons take baths! Do you want to be lower than a criminal, aruyo!?
Chisame: What happened to your broken speech?
Ku Fei: Ku Laozi no speak broken speak, aru. If Ku Laozi speak broken speak, kids no understand and that bad, aruka!
Ako: This sudden emergence of the omake is brought to you by Writer’s Block! Where frustration hits YOU! It is also a good indicator that Happy Farm Friends will be back on air very soon after this following chapter of With In, Out Cast! Also, the following program is not suitable for children or people against violence, may God help you.
Chisame: YOU’RE against violence.
Misora: Then may GOD help her!
Chisame: I don’t know why I even bother.
Ako: Enjoy my horrible luck!

Ako: O_O
Yuuna: O_O
Kazumi: …
Ku Fei: Wow, aru.
Misora: What? What happened!?
Sayo: By the way, today’s guest is CHAO LINGSHEN!
Everybody else: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *all run into a closet, slamming the door*
Chao: Uh, hi?
Misora: I do not know what’s wrong with them.
Sayo: Oh well. Say, have you seen my director’s chair? I seem to have misplaced it!
Misora: *whistles* Nope! Haven’t seen it at all! It’s not like I threw it in the closet and set it on fire or anything!
Haruna: *from closet* OMFG! THE CLOSET IS ON FIRE!!!!!
Yuuna: WHAT DO WE DO!? IF WE RUN OUT THERE WE’LL BE KILLED!
Ku Fei: No worry, aru! Chao is friend! I confront her bravely! If I no live, bury me in a field of nikuman! *runs outside*
Ku Fei: *falls onto her knees, begging* Chao! Please no stab us, aruka!
Chao: Kuu, we’re not in role…
Haruna: Ku Fei! Did you subdue the magic terrorist panda yet!?
Kazumi: I think we’re going to get burned to death soon.
Yuuna: AGHHH! THE FIRE BURNS!!!!!!!!
Chao: We are not in role, ne! If this were all true how come you aren’t shot!?
Yuuna: You mean I’ve been SHOT and I’M ON FIRE!?
Haruna: THE TORMENT NEVER ENDS!!!
Chisame: Well I just got back from the washroom and—…why is the closet on fire!?
Sayo: Misora says it certainly wasn’t because she threw a burning director’s chair into it!
Misora: Nope! DEFINITELY NOT!
Chisame: …right, I don’t care if we all burn to death. I’m going to go on the computer.
All of a sudden, a magnificent hero flies by with his red cape and his incredibly good looking blonde hair with a fire extinguisher. The fire in the closet goes out and all victims escape! And thus he runs off.
Kazumi: I suddenly have an incredible urge to fight that person for some reason…
Yuuna: WE’RE FREE!!! *sees Chao* WE’RE DOOOMED!!!
Ako: O_O…
Haruna: *pokes Ako* Um guys, I think Ako’s stuck.
Akira: Hello, what are you guys doing?
Yuuna: *jumps into Kazumi’s arms* OMFG!!! YOU’RE DEEEEEAD!
Kazumi: This is certainly surprising. *drops Yuuna onto the floor*
THUD!
Akira: Yuuna, we’re not in role. If we were, shouldn’t you probably be shot?
Yuuna: OH NOES! I HAVE PROBABLY BEEN SHOT! *grabs chest and falls over*
Sayo: Our guest for THIS segment of the omake is Akira!
Misora: Wasn’t it Chao?
Chao: I was supposed to be here for the first segment, but I got here late. My bad.
Haruna: THE MAGICAL TERRORIST PANDA SPEAKS! I shall fetch our saviour!
Ku Fei: *dons tiger costume* Speaking of panda, aru! It is time to bring back old story of before! Is kids ready!?
Chisame: *dragged back into the room by Haruna* What is it!? *forced into fox costume* Hey! I’m not in the bloody animal story anymore!
Ku Fei: *points at Ako* BEGIN THE STORY AKO, ARU!
Ako: *in chicken costume* …O_O
Yuuna: I suddenly have an urge to fight Ako. NO! Must…resist…URGES! Bad Yuuna! *smashes head upon wall*
Kazumi: *in canary costume* I suppose, being the main character, that I should begin the story then! *smacked upside the head by a giant mysterious cross* Ow…
Misora Mysterious Pig: *in pig costume* I, the mysterious pig, shall begin the story! Enjoy the return of HAPPY FARM FRIENDS and my great mysteriousness! I am definitely not Misora! *narrows eyes mysteriously in a very mysterious fashion*

Chapter 33: Chill
The breeze whooshed past the dragon flying high in the sky. The creature glided through clouds and ate any birds in its path. It was oblivious to the four animals now riding on its back, for they had managed somehow from the time of lift-off and the current flying of the dragon to get onto the back of the flying ‘mythical’ reptile.
”We’re at the tip of the sky, aren’t we?” Yuuna asked as she felt the water vapour of the clouds sift through her fur, soaking it.
Ku Fei looked around. She could not even see the surface of the earth since they were even above some clouds. The dragon suddenly dropped on its right to turn left, sending all the animals on its back clinging for their dear lives on the side of the dragon. It tipped over to the other side, sending the animals clinging for their dear lives on the other side of the dragon. Finally it came to a balance, flying straight at speeds that the animals could not comprehend.
Ako wisely held onto the otter who easily had the best grip of the three animals that hung onto the scales of the gliding dragon. Kazumi jumped onto the tiger, running up and hopping onto the striped cat’s head.
“CHISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!!”
”What are you doing, Kazumi, arune!?” Ku Fei asked, hearing the piercing yell of the canary much more than the rest.
The yellow bird carefully stepped back onto Ku Fei’s back, “I dunno. I heard when animals disappear they go to the clouds. So…”
”But that mysterious panda-san said the future…”
”That’s right, Ako!” Yuuna said, “and the future could be anything! It could be the farm, the forest, the lake, the sky! It could even be the future!”
”I’m pretty sure the future is the future, Yuuna,” Ako explained.
The weasel-like creature sat back down onto the scales of the dragon, smiling. She pointed at the clouds, then the lake, then the forest, then what she believed to be the direction of the farm.
”Well, since we’re having such a fun time up here, let ol’ Yuuna-san here tell you all a story!” The otter began as the other three animals gathered around, eager to hear a tale up at the top of the sky.
”I once had a friend named Makie, back as a kid before whatever killed most of the otters…”
It was a beautiful sunshiney day. All the good little birds were out singing like good little birds were supposed to. There were no big bad birds to come and eat the good little birds. So the good little birds were happy. Since I could listen to the good little birds sing in happiness, I was also happy! I was only but a few days old as I hopped around the shore of Kappa Lake. I had no friends though, and most of the otters were resting from the big trip that it took for us to get here.
As I skipped along on some rocks, I noticed a monkey jumping around the trees apparently demanding bananas.
”I want a banana! Give me the bananas!” The monkey said. I noticed it was trying to get its banana back from some mean animals! So I went in to investigate, and boy, did I see some mean animals! There were some wolves jumping around with bananas, and they were stealing it from the poor monkey!
”Hahaha! No! We shall sacrifice this banana to the Demon of the Night!” One of the wolves said. When I heard the name ‘Demon of the Night’, a scary fairy tale lots of otter parents tell children to scare them to sleep, I naturally got really scared. The Demon of the Night was known to be the most evil of all! Of course now we know it’s just some random annoying rabbit, and--
”OI!”
What the heck?
”You stupid otter! I’m not just some random annoying rabbit! This is how powerful I am! I can even interrupt your train of thoughts while you try to tell a story!”
Fine Evangeline, I’m sorry. Will you go away now?
”Sorry does not suffice. The consequences of insulting the Dark Evangel are massive. Maybe I should send Chachamaru to end your life, or something!”
I’m just trying to tell a story…
”I won’t LET you tell the story.”
I have to tell the story! You’re wasting my flashback space! This story is about a special monkey named Makie! Not a stupid annoying rabbit with a retarded nickname!
”Master, there is a problem.”
”What now, you stupid giraffe? I’m trying to kill an otter at the moment.”
”There is further disturbance at the peak.”
”Goddamnit. Fine, when I get back, you are dead, Yuuna.”
Finally. Okay, so where were we? Ah yes, so wolves were stealing a monkey’s bananas, and I was scared, but I felt very sorry for the poor monkey, so I tried to help her!
”Return those bananas to the monkey at once!” I demanded, pointing at all the wolves. I was so scared my paw was shaking, but I didn’t want them to take all the bananas unfairly from the monkey. The wolves just laughed at me, and I was very sad. Even the happy good little birds singing in happiness could not cheer me up. Then I got mad. When I get mad I get really mad.
A wolf decided to push me over the edge, “Some stupid baby otter thing is telling us what to do! Hahahaha! Let’s scram before I decide to eat that otter, or something.”
This is when I got mad, and I COURAGEOUSLY—
“OW!”
Yuuna the otter fell over on top of the dragon as it started to swerve downwards, almost vertically, towards the not-very-soft ground. All the animals screamed as they swayed with the legendary reptile as it played rodeo with the animals clinging for their dear lives. The trajectory was almost cutting through them as the dragon decided to just then swerve upside-down in an incredible ‘swoosh’ motion. Ku Fei could not cling on, and saw as her flailing paws disconnected from the scales of the dragon, and down, down, down the animals went…
Luckily, they were rather close to the ground. Instead of being five thousand metres in the air, they were merely five hundred metres in the air.
THUD!
“Aruuuuu…I think I broke my neck,” Ku Fei howled as she rubbed her delicate neck. The other animals found themselves a top a large extravagant crevasse. Trees were not all over the place like the familiar Kappa Forest and were sparse but still around. There was instead a great amount of grassland, something more suitable for deer or lions.
Kazumi poked her head out of the tall grass, “If you broke your neck then you’d be dead!” She then grinned, “A dead Ku Fei! That would be something I’d want for Christmas!”
“Do you really want her dead, Kazumi-san?” Sayo asked nervously, wondering what possessed the bird to say such cold things.
“What’s Christmas, Oneechan?” Ako looked up to stare at her older ‘sibling’.
Kazumi stood up; head tall and waist high, “Christmas is a splendid thing that those humans celebrate! They call it a holiday! It is a time when snow falls, and the sun is not seen very often!”
“That doesn’t sound nice!” Ako whimpered and hugged the larger bird in the feathers.
“Let me finish!” Kazumi started, “When people love each other, they show their love by giving each other presents under a big green tree, kind of like Konoka’s tree! That poor tree, but if you don’t give someone a present, that means they don’t love you!”
Ako gasped, “I didn’t get a present yet, Oneechan! Does that mean you don’t love me!? Does that mean Yuuna-san or Kuu-san don’t love me either!? That means mama and papa don’t love me either!” She started to cry.
“Oh great, you turned on the waterworks, Kazumi,” Yuuna rolled her eyes and crouched on her knees to console the girl, “Christmas does not come for another thirty sunsets or so!”
“R-really?” Ako looked up at the otter with her big watery eyes.
Yuuna fell backwards, “Oh god! THOSE EYES! THEY’RE STEALING MY SOUL!”
“Waaaah! I’m stealing Yuuna-san’s soul!”
“No, no! Yuuna is simply being stupid. You’re not stealing anybody’s soul,” Kazumi glared at the otter.
Yuuna crossed her paws, “I will stand by my statement. My soul is stolen.”
“So, where are we, aru?” Ku Fei finally got up, viewing their surroundings.
“How am I supposed to know? We fell down and then it was like THUD! And then Ako was like WAH! And then Kazumi called me stupid,” Yuuna narrowed her eyes.
“We totally needed a summary of events that just happened,” Kazumi said.
All of a sudden, the ground started to shake and shake some more. The grass swayed back and forth as mounds and rocks fell over from the shaking. The dragon’s wings caused a great blast of wind that hit the environment hard. They looked up to see random birds and mammals fly into the air never to be seen again from the massive uplift, but before it could fling its next victims the dragon stopped.
Yuuna boldly stepped in front of the dragon, “Hello dragon. I am the soulless invincible immortal otter known as THE KID! Do you dare face me!?”
“Welps, it’s official. She’s lost it,” Kazumi said.
Ako clenched her wings, “Yuuna lost her soul?”
The dragon exhaled a gush of extremely hot air out of his nose, blowing Yuuna away. The otter rotated several times in the air before deciding to conveniently crash-land onto Kazumi because she’s awesome like that and stuff, or so she claims. Kazumi was not pleased with that outcome but would have to live with it if she would see the light of day again.
“Ow…well okay, I guess that dragon can’t be subdued by fear! Let’s try brute force!” Yuuna got up and ran back towards the dragon.
Ku Fei meanwhile was stalking an animal a few metres away, trying to pounce on it for food. She licked her lips as she slowly stepped towards an animal sleeping on the tree. Ku Fei grew closer and closer until she felt she was ready to make the kill and pounced with her teeth blaring and her claws ready. Unfortunately her pouncing route was interrupted by an otter who once again was blown away by a not-very-amused dragon, and so the tiger accidentally pounced on the otter again.
“I CAUGHT IT! I HUNTED FOOD, ARU!” Ku Fei called in triumph, and was about to bite into her prey when she noticed how otter-like her prey was, “This looks awfully familiar, aruyo…”
“Ow Kuu! You bit me!” Yuuna got up, rubbing her neck.
Ku Fei scratched her head, “But that was a killing blow, aruyo! Your neck should have been snapped!”
“Pft, you’re too weak to snap my neck,” Yuuna boasted putting her paws on her waist, “Now, I have a dragon to slay!”
“Hey! I’m not weak!” Ku Fei countered by swiping her paw at the otter, which should have caused a gaping wound, but it did nothing to the otter, “Whaaa, aruka!?”
Yuuna grinned, “I told ya! I’m truly invincible! My skin is as tough as the shell of a turtle! My strength is comparable to a raging storm, and my intelligence is—“
“…lower than the seaweed at the bottom of the ocean,” Kazumi finished, “I think we ought to be getting back to the farm or something because that dragon obviously isn’t killing us at the moment!”
The otter growled, “I’m not done yet! I must slay the dragon!”
“Yuuna, that you!?” A voice came from the trees.
Yuuna whipped her head around to see a shadow in the trees. Ku Fei quickly raised her voice, “That’s the animal supposed to be my food, aru!”
“Eeep! A tiger! Eeeeeee!” The animal turned around to run but Yuuna was swift to stop it, “Is it really you!? Makie!?”
The monkey stopped and looked at Yuuna straight into her eyes, “Yes it’s me Yuuna…it’s been so long…”
“Oh Makie!” Yuuna hugged the monkey with great passion, “I thought you were killed!”
“I thought you were eaten by the kappa, Yuu-chan!”
Ku Fei stood there, waving her tail, “Does that mean I can’t eat her, aruyo?”
“You can’t eat her Kuu!” Yuuna said with great authority. So much so that even Kazumi, Ako, and Makie were greatly amazed by the great authority that Yuuna possessed. Where she got it from no one knew, but it certainly did help that she seemed to be indestructible at the moment, at least from a tiger’s perspective.
The tiger sighed, “I’m sooooooooooo hungry, aruyooooooooooo!” She turned and eyed the canary with a sinister smile, “…and if I get hungry enough, guess who I will eat first, aru!?”
“Uh, those bananas at the bush?” Kazumi guessed uneasily, pointing with her unbroken wing.
“THOSE ARE MY BANANAS!” Makie yelled, jumping to the bananas like some possessive freak, “NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM!”
Yuuna beamed, “I remember your banana obsession, Makie…”
“And I remember your cocky attitude, Yuu-chan!” Makie commented, “You haven’t changed!”
Kazumi closed her eyes, “…unfortunately.”
“Oh Makie! The days we spent together, they were probably the best times of my life! I was so sad when I thought you died! I heard that a cheetah came and abducted you…and I never saw you again!” Yuuna explained, putting her paw on her forehead to express her distress she had back in the past.
Makie recalled, “Ah! You mean Iincho!”
“IINCHO!? THAT CHEETAH!?”
“She did abduct me, Yuu-chan! But she decided not to eat me, and we became the bestest of best friends! I came here to live because I heard the kappa was killing everything over there! I was so scared to come back!” She said.
Yuuna nodded slowly, “That’s not possible…Iincho wants to eat us…particularly Kazumi, which I don’t really mind actually, but if she went for Ako I would go ballistic!”
“Ah? Kazumi? Ako?” Makie asked in confusion.
The otter bowed, “Oh forgive me for not introducing her! This is Ako, the sweetest chick out there! I think someone ate her mommy and then she got adopted by a crane and koala! Say hello, Ako!”
“Ah, uh, hello…” Ako hid behind Yuuna’s legs in nervousness. The otter patted the chick on the head, smiling, “Oh, and the other two…yeah, not important.”
“HEY!”
Makie pointed at Ku Fei, “How come she’s not eating us?”
“Because she realizes my great invincibility that if she dares to eat anyone of us, besides Kazumi, I could easily strike her dead, isn’t that right Kuu?” Yuuna turned to stare down at the tiger in great authority yet again.
Ku Fei growled and stepped closer to the monkey with narrowed eyes and intense cat instincts, “I do want to have my dinner, aru!”
“You won’t dare eat Makie!” Yuuna pointed dastardly at the tiger also with squinting eyes and bared teeth. They started to circle the monkey, growling and eyeing each other, not one moment taking their sight off each others’ face or movement. Kazumi sat down to enjoy the spectacle while Ako hopped onto her sister’s back, feeling tired after a long day. The ghost that hung around the canary also floated above them, clearly intrigued.
The tiger leapt into the air, targeting the monkey, but the otter was once again diving between them, and the two fell onto the ground wrestling with reach other. Makie walked towards the two birds with a banana and sat down to watch too. She munched on her fruit happily.
“You must be Ako and Kazumi-chan! Right!?” She decided to bring up some topics for conversation. Kazumi nodded and Ako, imitating her oneechan, followed suit.
Makie started, “How has Yuuna been all this time!?”
“She’s uh…as energetic as ever, I suppose,” Kazumi replied, eyeing the banana in the monkey’s hands. She was ever-so hungry.
The monkey grinned, “That’s good! We both made a promise to be as energetic as ever, no matter what happens!”
“Ohhhhhh boy,” Kazumi lay down on the ground.
Ako decided to reply as well, “She’s also very kind, Yuuna…”
“Really? That’s good!” The monkey started nodding continuously, “She was my best friend before Iincho became my bestest best friend!”
“How exactly does that work?” Kazumi raised her nonexistent eyebrow, wondering how anybody could befriend such an animal no less a monkey of this calibre. The monkey continued to smile.
Makie responded, “Iincho is very criticizing, you know! She tell me all my faults! She was about to eat me but decided that it was a ‘waste of breath’ to eat me or something like that! I didn’t know what she meant!”
“Ah, I do.”
“Oh really?’
The canary nodded; she then flapped her working wing, “Continue.”
“So she criticized me and told me how to improve! If I ever did even the smallest thing wrong she will publicly scream, ‘YOU ARE A MAKIE FAILURE!’. It really helped me I think!” The monkey explained, “And today I am a better monkey because of it!”
“Didn’t think a cheetah could be like that, huh,” Kazumi stroked her tail, still missing her favourite tail feather that disappeared so long ago, “You think you could convince her not to eat us at least?’
Makie thought for a moment, “Hmm! I will try, but she doesn’t like to stop herself from eating! In fact, if there’s one animal she will always eat no matter what happens, it’s a canary!”
“Why am I not surprised…” Kazumi stated.
“Eh? You’re not surprised?”
Ako replied, “That’s because oneechan is a canary!”
“Thank you for that Ako, I bet she wants to eat me now too,” Kazumi mumbled.
Makie shook hands or…wings with Kazumi, “It’s okay! I don’t eat meat, but I don’t know how you’ll avoid Iincho then…”
“Nah…I have an idea for that, actually…”
“I wonder what she’s doing right now!”
Meanwhile, all the way back at kappa forest, several animals were fighting off some wildcats. One particular wildcat was enraged beyond recognition.
“I’m going to eat that koala first!” She announced, growling.
A crane stepped up in front of the koala, “You’ll just have to get pass me first!”
“Then I’ll eat you first, and then go for the koala!” She eyed the crane with blood thirst. Setsuna peered back, holding her trusted sword…

Sayo: *sitting on charred director’s chair* The omake BEGINS…
Misora: Gahhh…I feel overworked today, as if we’re working overtime…
Haruna: We ARE working overtime!
Sayo: SHADDUP AND BE ENERGETIC!
Kazumi: You think YOU’RE working overtime!? We’ve just been in that studio…gaah! I don’t care I’m going to bed! *walks off*
Sayo: No! Asakura-san! *floats off following the redhead*
Yuuna: Zzzzzzzz…
Ako: O_O
Chisame: Well if we’re all dropping like flies I’ll go ahead and go that too. Good night.
Chao: Hmm, it seems our guest-stay here will be over soon, ne?
Akira: Yes, it seems.
Makie: Awww! But I’m supposed to be THIS segments guest, and they’re all falling asleep! NO FAAAAIR!
Haruna: Why aren’t you tired? You were in both studios too!
Misora: She wasn’t in the last two omakes though…which all just happened to happen on this day! That’s why we’re all incredibly tired!
Haruna: *pokes Ako some more* Or we could spend our time poking Ako until she wakes up! Heehee!
Ako: O_O *falls over and…breaks?*
Haruna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
Misora: AHHHHHHHH! WHAT DID YOU DO!?
Makie: A-A-A-Ako…?
Akira: What the…
Haruna: QUICKLY! GO GET SOME GLUE AND FIX HER BEFORE YUUNA WAKES UP AND KILLS US ALL!
Akira: Yuuna wouldn’t do that!
Haruna: Well since everyone is incredibly influenced by the story and Yuuna is supposed to be a murderer and an invincible otter that cannot be hurt by anything, I’ll say yes! GET THE GLUE!
Chao: I don’t think this is very rational what with the glue thing.
Ku Fei: *walks in, in her nightgown* What everybody doing, aru?
Chao: You were already sleeping?
Ku Laozi: *dons beard* Of course! Sleep is very essential for us all or we’d have bags under our eyes, fail exams, forget to do homework, and ultimately look like zombies! That’s today’s lesson, kids!
Chisame: I am very shocked at how rational these recent ‘Ku Laozi lessons’ have been…
Kazumi: *walks back out* Well, Sayo has convinced me to at the very least finish this omake. I’m not guaranteeing staying awake! …what happened to Ako?
Sayo: Oh no! IS SHE DEAD!?
Haruna: SHHHHHH! Don’t wake Yuuna! We have to fix her! Here’s some glue and Popsicle sticks!
Kazumi: What are the Popsicle sticks for?
Misora: We’re making the Eiffel Tower inside Ako’s head!
Chisame: That’s…yeah I think I need sleep. *grabs a pillow* Don’t you people DARE bother me.
Makie: Haruna-chan! The glue isn’t working! *cries* Oh poor Ako! Her ear won’t stay on!
Haruna: That’s a really nice looking Eiffel Tower though.
Misora: *nods* Indeed, quite a masterpiece.
Akira: This can all be explained with a logical explanation, I’m sure of it!
Misora: It doesn’t consist of dumping me into the pool, does it?
Akira: It may if you continue building a French monument inside my friend’s head.
Chao: So, who’s hungry? I’ve decided to bring over some nikuman!
Kazumi: Is there any poison in those nikuman?
Chao: …
Kazumi: Hey, you gotta make sure. I mean, you play a magical terrorist panda! That or the sleep deprivation is getting to me.
Ku Fei: NO NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU EAT, ARU! *stuffs the nikuman in her mouth* ACK!
Akira: I believe Ku Fei-san is choking.
Sayo: Oh dear, can anybody save her?
Yuuna: Zzzzz…POP! Ehh…what’s going on? *yawns as she gets up*
Haruna: EEEEP! WE’RE CERTAINLY NOT BUILDING THE EIFFEL TOWER IN YOUR SUPPOSED LOVER’S HEAD!
Makie: What? I thought we were—MMPH!
Misora: SHH!
Yuuna: *sees a broken Ako on the floor* WHAT THE HELL!?
Haruna: We are so dead.
Misora: Quite literally.
Sayo: I’m already dead.
Akira: Ku Fei is going to be if no one helps her.
Yuuna: *falls on her knees in front of the broken Ako* You broke my statue I created out of clay the other day! I wanted to show Ako…
Kazumi: *drops dead*
Chao: If that’s not Ako, then where is she, ne?
BZZZZZT!
Omake transmission terminated.
The door slams close after a score of people walk out of a studio…
Yuuna: MY GOD! How long have we been in there!?
Kazumi: I actually can’t remember the last time I’ve seen this freedom…the light! IT BURNS!
Ako: NO! I DID NOT DO IT! I’M INNOCENT! WAAAH!
Chisame: *who has been outside for a long time* Hey genius, you’re not on camera.
Ako: But it felt like my real life since I’ve been in there so long…
Yuuna: …locked up in the deep dark corner…never drop the soap.
Haruna: Actually it didn’t seem so bad!
Kazumi: Says the person who hasn’t actually done anything in there for ages.
Ku Fei: WAIT WAIT WAIT WAAAAIT!!!!
Everybody SCREECHES to a stop!
Ku Fei: If we out here, we are in omake now no, arune!?
Chisame: Okay, the broken Japanese is seriously giving me a headache. YOU’RE NOT IN ROLE!
Ku Fei: I in there so long I lose Japanese grammar skills, aru.
Misora: Hey guys! Where have you been? I can’t believe the omake came back on air! It hasn’t been on TV for like a whole entire year!
Everybody: …
Misora: …what?
Yuuna: So this is the lucky bitch who hasn’t appeared in the torture drama yet, huuuuuh?
Misora: Oh yeah. You guys had to go do some chick lesbian flick about butch girls in prison non-stop after the farm story was put on hiatus! How was it? I felt soooo left out.
Kazumi: Have you even been watching it?
Misora: I happen to be Christian and watching something so vile would be a sin, actually…BUT HOW WAS IT!?
Chisame: I hate you.
Yuuna: I also hate you.
Ku Fei: Hate be cast on you by me, aru.
Ako: I don’t like to hate people, but I still hate you.
Haruna: Aw c’mon guys. That was pretty cool. I mean we have to come back right? It’s not finished!
Kazumi: Actually I think my role is cool. Better than being the idiot character in ‘Dogger’ anyway. Eheheheh, I win ALL the time! WHO IS COOL!?
Everybody: …
Kazumi: Pft, you guys are just jealous of my kickass role.
Yuuna: I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT ROLE!
Haruna: But that would have made it Kazumi/Ako! OMFG! CRACK PAIRING! *takes out notepad* Note to self, draw sexy doujins of this new pairing later.
Ku Fei: Role mine I like, aru!
Chisame: OKAY! YOUR JAPANESE WAS NOT THAT BAD IN THAT DRAMA! NO! STOP BUTCHERING IT FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY!
Ku Fei: Chisame role fit her very good, she angry all the time like herself, aruyo!
Sayo: *flies by* Ah! Asakura-san! You’re baaack!!!
Kazumi: What!? IT CAN’T BE! YOU’RE DEAD!
Sayo: …
Yuuna: GASP! Sayo is ALIVE!? But she was stabbed fifty-two times by that psychobitch!
Sayo: …hah?
Chisame: FOR THE LAST TIME YOU’RE NOT IN ROLE!
Kazumi: Oh what a glorious day! My love has returned and my world is not upside-down anymore! *hugs Sayo like never before*
Yuuna: Ako! This is Sayo, the perfect girl who died that made our lives slightly worse when you came.
Ako: Uhm, but we’re not in role. I know who Sayo is.
Yuuna: WHAT IS THIS!? YOU HAVE LIED TO ME ALL THIS TIME WHEN YOU HAVE CRITICIZED ME WITH MY LIES!? You are a hypocrite and I am shocked!!!
Misora: Well this is really weird, say we should really get to doing omake stuff.
Ku Fei: But this strange, it feel as if omake not supposed to be now happening, aruyo!
Chisame: I don’t know why I hang around with you people.
Haruna: Now I know why! It’s because omakes happen AFTER the main dish and there is NOTHING prior to this omake, so this isn’t an omake!
Kazumi: Is it…gasp…the main dish!?
Misora: No, I think it’s because our director is missing her director’s chair. Here you go Sayo!
Sayo: Oh! Thank you very much. *sits* WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING AT THE PARKING LOT OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO!?
Misora: Oh…now I remember why I had chills up my spine whenever I picked up that chair.
Sayo: LET’S GET BACK INTO THAT STUDIO!
Ako: Wait! But that’s the Wi—
Sayo: NO OBJECTIONS! WE HAVE TO START THE OMAKE!
Yuuna: Sayo, no! That’s the horrible place we were locked inside for so long—
Sayo: STOP STALLING AND GET IN THERE!
Kazumi: I do whatever my Sayo asks! *walks right in* OH GOD! THE HUMANITY!
Everybody, even the people not in the story, is shoved back into the WIOC studio.
Kazumi: So like, I totally love to smoke, but I’m never going to admit that because smoking is actually uncool in real life and will probably kill me painfully and slowly.
Yuuna: And I killed someone. I’m badass, and that gives me reason to whine about it all the time to everybody around me, since I’m totally guilty about it.
Ako: I’m scared because I’m innocent but I don’t really know if I’m innocent or not, either way I’m too weak to do anything and I fail.
Chisame: Actually since I haven’t appeared in a while I’m just standing here at the side watching this horrible show unfold.
Haruna: Saaaaaaaame.
Misora: Wow, this place is kind of cool. It’s all dark and you guys are wearing orange gis!
Chisame: They’re prison outfits.
Misora: …no, seriously?
Ku Fei: IT A RIOT! WE ARE FIGHTING! KUNG-FU CHINESE MAFIA THUG KICK! HIIYAH!
Kazumi: <insert witty comment here>
Yuuna: <insert not as witty comeback with a reference to horrible past here>
Ako: <insert unnecessary apology and some morally good here>
Misora: This is really interesting.
Sayo: THIS IS NOT THE OMAKE! STOP BEING SUCH EMO HAGS AND TAKE OFF THOSE RIDICULOUS ORANGE OUTFITS YOU’RE WEARING!
Yuuna: Hey, someone said we have to take off our clothes! Crap! Are we being strip-searched?
Kazumi: God that totally sucks. I hate it when they do that. I mean I got dignity man.
Ako: They will see my scar! Waaah!
Kazumi: If they try to sexually harass me I’m going to burn them with my cigarette.
Sayo: STOP SPEAKING SUCH NONSENSE AND GET CHANGED!
Kazumi: It appears that maybe we’re just taking a shower at the showers.
Haruna: Aren’t we in the middle of some riot?
Ku Laozi: *dons beard* No! We must go take showers! For today’s lesson kids, is that taking showers is very important! If you don’t take baths you’ll start to smell and no one will like you, and that is bad! Even us convicted felons take baths! Do you want to be lower than a criminal, aruyo!?
Chisame: What happened to your broken speech?
Ku Fei: Ku Laozi no speak broken speak, aru. If Ku Laozi speak broken speak, kids no understand and that bad, aruka!
Ako: This sudden emergence of the omake is brought to you by Writer’s Block! Where frustration hits YOU! It is also a good indicator that Happy Farm Friends will be back on air very soon after this following chapter of With In, Out Cast! Also, the following program is not suitable for children or people against violence, may God help you.
Chisame: YOU’RE against violence.
Misora: Then may GOD help her!
Chisame: I don’t know why I even bother.
Ako: Enjoy my horrible luck!

Ako: O_O
Yuuna: O_O
Kazumi: …
Ku Fei: Wow, aru.
Misora: What? What happened!?
Sayo: By the way, today’s guest is CHAO LINGSHEN!
Everybody else: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *all run into a closet, slamming the door*
Chao: Uh, hi?
Misora: I do not know what’s wrong with them.
Sayo: Oh well. Say, have you seen my director’s chair? I seem to have misplaced it!
Misora: *whistles* Nope! Haven’t seen it at all! It’s not like I threw it in the closet and set it on fire or anything!
Haruna: *from closet* OMFG! THE CLOSET IS ON FIRE!!!!!
Yuuna: WHAT DO WE DO!? IF WE RUN OUT THERE WE’LL BE KILLED!
Ku Fei: No worry, aru! Chao is friend! I confront her bravely! If I no live, bury me in a field of nikuman! *runs outside*
Ku Fei: *falls onto her knees, begging* Chao! Please no stab us, aruka!
Chao: Kuu, we’re not in role…
Haruna: Ku Fei! Did you subdue the magic terrorist panda yet!?
Kazumi: I think we’re going to get burned to death soon.
Yuuna: AGHHH! THE FIRE BURNS!!!!!!!!
Chao: We are not in role, ne! If this were all true how come you aren’t shot!?
Yuuna: You mean I’ve been SHOT and I’M ON FIRE!?
Haruna: THE TORMENT NEVER ENDS!!!
Chisame: Well I just got back from the washroom and—…why is the closet on fire!?
Sayo: Misora says it certainly wasn’t because she threw a burning director’s chair into it!
Misora: Nope! DEFINITELY NOT!
Chisame: …right, I don’t care if we all burn to death. I’m going to go on the computer.
All of a sudden, a magnificent hero flies by with his red cape and his incredibly good looking blonde hair with a fire extinguisher. The fire in the closet goes out and all victims escape! And thus he runs off.
Kazumi: I suddenly have an incredible urge to fight that person for some reason…
Yuuna: WE’RE FREE!!! *sees Chao* WE’RE DOOOMED!!!
Ako: O_O…
Haruna: *pokes Ako* Um guys, I think Ako’s stuck.
Akira: Hello, what are you guys doing?
Yuuna: *jumps into Kazumi’s arms* OMFG!!! YOU’RE DEEEEEAD!
Kazumi: This is certainly surprising. *drops Yuuna onto the floor*
THUD!
Akira: Yuuna, we’re not in role. If we were, shouldn’t you probably be shot?
Yuuna: OH NOES! I HAVE PROBABLY BEEN SHOT! *grabs chest and falls over*
Sayo: Our guest for THIS segment of the omake is Akira!
Misora: Wasn’t it Chao?
Chao: I was supposed to be here for the first segment, but I got here late. My bad.
Haruna: THE MAGICAL TERRORIST PANDA SPEAKS! I shall fetch our saviour!
Ku Fei: *dons tiger costume* Speaking of panda, aru! It is time to bring back old story of before! Is kids ready!?
Chisame: *dragged back into the room by Haruna* What is it!? *forced into fox costume* Hey! I’m not in the bloody animal story anymore!
Ku Fei: *points at Ako* BEGIN THE STORY AKO, ARU!
Ako: *in chicken costume* …O_O
Yuuna: I suddenly have an urge to fight Ako. NO! Must…resist…URGES! Bad Yuuna! *smashes head upon wall*
Kazumi: *in canary costume* I suppose, being the main character, that I should begin the story then! *smacked upside the head by a giant mysterious cross* Ow…

Chapter 33: Chill
The breeze whooshed past the dragon flying high in the sky. The creature glided through clouds and ate any birds in its path. It was oblivious to the four animals now riding on its back, for they had managed somehow from the time of lift-off and the current flying of the dragon to get onto the back of the flying ‘mythical’ reptile.
”We’re at the tip of the sky, aren’t we?” Yuuna asked as she felt the water vapour of the clouds sift through her fur, soaking it.
Ku Fei looked around. She could not even see the surface of the earth since they were even above some clouds. The dragon suddenly dropped on its right to turn left, sending all the animals on its back clinging for their dear lives on the side of the dragon. It tipped over to the other side, sending the animals clinging for their dear lives on the other side of the dragon. Finally it came to a balance, flying straight at speeds that the animals could not comprehend.
Ako wisely held onto the otter who easily had the best grip of the three animals that hung onto the scales of the gliding dragon. Kazumi jumped onto the tiger, running up and hopping onto the striped cat’s head.
“CHISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!!”
”What are you doing, Kazumi, arune!?” Ku Fei asked, hearing the piercing yell of the canary much more than the rest.
The yellow bird carefully stepped back onto Ku Fei’s back, “I dunno. I heard when animals disappear they go to the clouds. So…”
”But that mysterious panda-san said the future…”
”That’s right, Ako!” Yuuna said, “and the future could be anything! It could be the farm, the forest, the lake, the sky! It could even be the future!”
”I’m pretty sure the future is the future, Yuuna,” Ako explained.
The weasel-like creature sat back down onto the scales of the dragon, smiling. She pointed at the clouds, then the lake, then the forest, then what she believed to be the direction of the farm.
”Well, since we’re having such a fun time up here, let ol’ Yuuna-san here tell you all a story!” The otter began as the other three animals gathered around, eager to hear a tale up at the top of the sky.
”I once had a friend named Makie, back as a kid before whatever killed most of the otters…”
It was a beautiful sunshiney day. All the good little birds were out singing like good little birds were supposed to. There were no big bad birds to come and eat the good little birds. So the good little birds were happy. Since I could listen to the good little birds sing in happiness, I was also happy! I was only but a few days old as I hopped around the shore of Kappa Lake. I had no friends though, and most of the otters were resting from the big trip that it took for us to get here.
As I skipped along on some rocks, I noticed a monkey jumping around the trees apparently demanding bananas.
”I want a banana! Give me the bananas!” The monkey said. I noticed it was trying to get its banana back from some mean animals! So I went in to investigate, and boy, did I see some mean animals! There were some wolves jumping around with bananas, and they were stealing it from the poor monkey!
”Hahaha! No! We shall sacrifice this banana to the Demon of the Night!” One of the wolves said. When I heard the name ‘Demon of the Night’, a scary fairy tale lots of otter parents tell children to scare them to sleep, I naturally got really scared. The Demon of the Night was known to be the most evil of all! Of course now we know it’s just some random annoying rabbit, and--
”OI!”
What the heck?
”You stupid otter! I’m not just some random annoying rabbit! This is how powerful I am! I can even interrupt your train of thoughts while you try to tell a story!”
Fine Evangeline, I’m sorry. Will you go away now?
”Sorry does not suffice. The consequences of insulting the Dark Evangel are massive. Maybe I should send Chachamaru to end your life, or something!”
I’m just trying to tell a story…
”I won’t LET you tell the story.”
I have to tell the story! You’re wasting my flashback space! This story is about a special monkey named Makie! Not a stupid annoying rabbit with a retarded nickname!
”Master, there is a problem.”
”What now, you stupid giraffe? I’m trying to kill an otter at the moment.”
”There is further disturbance at the peak.”
”Goddamnit. Fine, when I get back, you are dead, Yuuna.”
Finally. Okay, so where were we? Ah yes, so wolves were stealing a monkey’s bananas, and I was scared, but I felt very sorry for the poor monkey, so I tried to help her!
”Return those bananas to the monkey at once!” I demanded, pointing at all the wolves. I was so scared my paw was shaking, but I didn’t want them to take all the bananas unfairly from the monkey. The wolves just laughed at me, and I was very sad. Even the happy good little birds singing in happiness could not cheer me up. Then I got mad. When I get mad I get really mad.
A wolf decided to push me over the edge, “Some stupid baby otter thing is telling us what to do! Hahahaha! Let’s scram before I decide to eat that otter, or something.”
This is when I got mad, and I COURAGEOUSLY—
“OW!”
Yuuna the otter fell over on top of the dragon as it started to swerve downwards, almost vertically, towards the not-very-soft ground. All the animals screamed as they swayed with the legendary reptile as it played rodeo with the animals clinging for their dear lives. The trajectory was almost cutting through them as the dragon decided to just then swerve upside-down in an incredible ‘swoosh’ motion. Ku Fei could not cling on, and saw as her flailing paws disconnected from the scales of the dragon, and down, down, down the animals went…
Luckily, they were rather close to the ground. Instead of being five thousand metres in the air, they were merely five hundred metres in the air.
THUD!
“Aruuuuu…I think I broke my neck,” Ku Fei howled as she rubbed her delicate neck. The other animals found themselves a top a large extravagant crevasse. Trees were not all over the place like the familiar Kappa Forest and were sparse but still around. There was instead a great amount of grassland, something more suitable for deer or lions.
Kazumi poked her head out of the tall grass, “If you broke your neck then you’d be dead!” She then grinned, “A dead Ku Fei! That would be something I’d want for Christmas!”
“Do you really want her dead, Kazumi-san?” Sayo asked nervously, wondering what possessed the bird to say such cold things.
“What’s Christmas, Oneechan?” Ako looked up to stare at her older ‘sibling’.
Kazumi stood up; head tall and waist high, “Christmas is a splendid thing that those humans celebrate! They call it a holiday! It is a time when snow falls, and the sun is not seen very often!”
“That doesn’t sound nice!” Ako whimpered and hugged the larger bird in the feathers.
“Let me finish!” Kazumi started, “When people love each other, they show their love by giving each other presents under a big green tree, kind of like Konoka’s tree! That poor tree, but if you don’t give someone a present, that means they don’t love you!”
Ako gasped, “I didn’t get a present yet, Oneechan! Does that mean you don’t love me!? Does that mean Yuuna-san or Kuu-san don’t love me either!? That means mama and papa don’t love me either!” She started to cry.
“Oh great, you turned on the waterworks, Kazumi,” Yuuna rolled her eyes and crouched on her knees to console the girl, “Christmas does not come for another thirty sunsets or so!”
“R-really?” Ako looked up at the otter with her big watery eyes.
Yuuna fell backwards, “Oh god! THOSE EYES! THEY’RE STEALING MY SOUL!”
“Waaaah! I’m stealing Yuuna-san’s soul!”
“No, no! Yuuna is simply being stupid. You’re not stealing anybody’s soul,” Kazumi glared at the otter.
Yuuna crossed her paws, “I will stand by my statement. My soul is stolen.”
“So, where are we, aru?” Ku Fei finally got up, viewing their surroundings.
“How am I supposed to know? We fell down and then it was like THUD! And then Ako was like WAH! And then Kazumi called me stupid,” Yuuna narrowed her eyes.
“We totally needed a summary of events that just happened,” Kazumi said.
All of a sudden, the ground started to shake and shake some more. The grass swayed back and forth as mounds and rocks fell over from the shaking. The dragon’s wings caused a great blast of wind that hit the environment hard. They looked up to see random birds and mammals fly into the air never to be seen again from the massive uplift, but before it could fling its next victims the dragon stopped.
Yuuna boldly stepped in front of the dragon, “Hello dragon. I am the soulless invincible immortal otter known as THE KID! Do you dare face me!?”
“Welps, it’s official. She’s lost it,” Kazumi said.
Ako clenched her wings, “Yuuna lost her soul?”
The dragon exhaled a gush of extremely hot air out of his nose, blowing Yuuna away. The otter rotated several times in the air before deciding to conveniently crash-land onto Kazumi because she’s awesome like that and stuff, or so she claims. Kazumi was not pleased with that outcome but would have to live with it if she would see the light of day again.
“Ow…well okay, I guess that dragon can’t be subdued by fear! Let’s try brute force!” Yuuna got up and ran back towards the dragon.
Ku Fei meanwhile was stalking an animal a few metres away, trying to pounce on it for food. She licked her lips as she slowly stepped towards an animal sleeping on the tree. Ku Fei grew closer and closer until she felt she was ready to make the kill and pounced with her teeth blaring and her claws ready. Unfortunately her pouncing route was interrupted by an otter who once again was blown away by a not-very-amused dragon, and so the tiger accidentally pounced on the otter again.
“I CAUGHT IT! I HUNTED FOOD, ARU!” Ku Fei called in triumph, and was about to bite into her prey when she noticed how otter-like her prey was, “This looks awfully familiar, aruyo…”
“Ow Kuu! You bit me!” Yuuna got up, rubbing her neck.
Ku Fei scratched her head, “But that was a killing blow, aruyo! Your neck should have been snapped!”
“Pft, you’re too weak to snap my neck,” Yuuna boasted putting her paws on her waist, “Now, I have a dragon to slay!”
“Hey! I’m not weak!” Ku Fei countered by swiping her paw at the otter, which should have caused a gaping wound, but it did nothing to the otter, “Whaaa, aruka!?”
Yuuna grinned, “I told ya! I’m truly invincible! My skin is as tough as the shell of a turtle! My strength is comparable to a raging storm, and my intelligence is—“
“…lower than the seaweed at the bottom of the ocean,” Kazumi finished, “I think we ought to be getting back to the farm or something because that dragon obviously isn’t killing us at the moment!”
The otter growled, “I’m not done yet! I must slay the dragon!”
“Yuuna, that you!?” A voice came from the trees.
Yuuna whipped her head around to see a shadow in the trees. Ku Fei quickly raised her voice, “That’s the animal supposed to be my food, aru!”
“Eeep! A tiger! Eeeeeee!” The animal turned around to run but Yuuna was swift to stop it, “Is it really you!? Makie!?”
The monkey stopped and looked at Yuuna straight into her eyes, “Yes it’s me Yuuna…it’s been so long…”
“Oh Makie!” Yuuna hugged the monkey with great passion, “I thought you were killed!”
“I thought you were eaten by the kappa, Yuu-chan!”
Ku Fei stood there, waving her tail, “Does that mean I can’t eat her, aruyo?”
“You can’t eat her Kuu!” Yuuna said with great authority. So much so that even Kazumi, Ako, and Makie were greatly amazed by the great authority that Yuuna possessed. Where she got it from no one knew, but it certainly did help that she seemed to be indestructible at the moment, at least from a tiger’s perspective.
The tiger sighed, “I’m sooooooooooo hungry, aruyooooooooooo!” She turned and eyed the canary with a sinister smile, “…and if I get hungry enough, guess who I will eat first, aru!?”
“Uh, those bananas at the bush?” Kazumi guessed uneasily, pointing with her unbroken wing.
“THOSE ARE MY BANANAS!” Makie yelled, jumping to the bananas like some possessive freak, “NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM!”
Yuuna beamed, “I remember your banana obsession, Makie…”
“And I remember your cocky attitude, Yuu-chan!” Makie commented, “You haven’t changed!”
Kazumi closed her eyes, “…unfortunately.”
“Oh Makie! The days we spent together, they were probably the best times of my life! I was so sad when I thought you died! I heard that a cheetah came and abducted you…and I never saw you again!” Yuuna explained, putting her paw on her forehead to express her distress she had back in the past.
Makie recalled, “Ah! You mean Iincho!”
“IINCHO!? THAT CHEETAH!?”
“She did abduct me, Yuu-chan! But she decided not to eat me, and we became the bestest of best friends! I came here to live because I heard the kappa was killing everything over there! I was so scared to come back!” She said.
Yuuna nodded slowly, “That’s not possible…Iincho wants to eat us…particularly Kazumi, which I don’t really mind actually, but if she went for Ako I would go ballistic!”
“Ah? Kazumi? Ako?” Makie asked in confusion.
The otter bowed, “Oh forgive me for not introducing her! This is Ako, the sweetest chick out there! I think someone ate her mommy and then she got adopted by a crane and koala! Say hello, Ako!”
“Ah, uh, hello…” Ako hid behind Yuuna’s legs in nervousness. The otter patted the chick on the head, smiling, “Oh, and the other two…yeah, not important.”
“HEY!”
Makie pointed at Ku Fei, “How come she’s not eating us?”
“Because she realizes my great invincibility that if she dares to eat anyone of us, besides Kazumi, I could easily strike her dead, isn’t that right Kuu?” Yuuna turned to stare down at the tiger in great authority yet again.
Ku Fei growled and stepped closer to the monkey with narrowed eyes and intense cat instincts, “I do want to have my dinner, aru!”
“You won’t dare eat Makie!” Yuuna pointed dastardly at the tiger also with squinting eyes and bared teeth. They started to circle the monkey, growling and eyeing each other, not one moment taking their sight off each others’ face or movement. Kazumi sat down to enjoy the spectacle while Ako hopped onto her sister’s back, feeling tired after a long day. The ghost that hung around the canary also floated above them, clearly intrigued.
The tiger leapt into the air, targeting the monkey, but the otter was once again diving between them, and the two fell onto the ground wrestling with reach other. Makie walked towards the two birds with a banana and sat down to watch too. She munched on her fruit happily.
“You must be Ako and Kazumi-chan! Right!?” She decided to bring up some topics for conversation. Kazumi nodded and Ako, imitating her oneechan, followed suit.
Makie started, “How has Yuuna been all this time!?”
“She’s uh…as energetic as ever, I suppose,” Kazumi replied, eyeing the banana in the monkey’s hands. She was ever-so hungry.
The monkey grinned, “That’s good! We both made a promise to be as energetic as ever, no matter what happens!”
“Ohhhhhh boy,” Kazumi lay down on the ground.
Ako decided to reply as well, “She’s also very kind, Yuuna…”
“Really? That’s good!” The monkey started nodding continuously, “She was my best friend before Iincho became my bestest best friend!”
“How exactly does that work?” Kazumi raised her nonexistent eyebrow, wondering how anybody could befriend such an animal no less a monkey of this calibre. The monkey continued to smile.
Makie responded, “Iincho is very criticizing, you know! She tell me all my faults! She was about to eat me but decided that it was a ‘waste of breath’ to eat me or something like that! I didn’t know what she meant!”
“Ah, I do.”
“Oh really?’
The canary nodded; she then flapped her working wing, “Continue.”
“So she criticized me and told me how to improve! If I ever did even the smallest thing wrong she will publicly scream, ‘YOU ARE A MAKIE FAILURE!’. It really helped me I think!” The monkey explained, “And today I am a better monkey because of it!”
“Didn’t think a cheetah could be like that, huh,” Kazumi stroked her tail, still missing her favourite tail feather that disappeared so long ago, “You think you could convince her not to eat us at least?’
Makie thought for a moment, “Hmm! I will try, but she doesn’t like to stop herself from eating! In fact, if there’s one animal she will always eat no matter what happens, it’s a canary!”
“Why am I not surprised…” Kazumi stated.
“Eh? You’re not surprised?”
Ako replied, “That’s because oneechan is a canary!”
“Thank you for that Ako, I bet she wants to eat me now too,” Kazumi mumbled.
Makie shook hands or…wings with Kazumi, “It’s okay! I don’t eat meat, but I don’t know how you’ll avoid Iincho then…”
“Nah…I have an idea for that, actually…”
“I wonder what she’s doing right now!”
Meanwhile, all the way back at kappa forest, several animals were fighting off some wildcats. One particular wildcat was enraged beyond recognition.
“I’m going to eat that koala first!” She announced, growling.
A crane stepped up in front of the koala, “You’ll just have to get pass me first!”
“Then I’ll eat you first, and then go for the koala!” She eyed the crane with blood thirst. Setsuna peered back, holding her trusted sword…

Yuuna: Zzzzzzzz…
Ako: O_O
Chisame: Well if we’re all dropping like flies I’ll go ahead and go that too. Good night.
Chao: Hmm, it seems our guest-stay here will be over soon, ne?
Akira: Yes, it seems.
Makie: Awww! But I’m supposed to be THIS segments guest, and they’re all falling asleep! NO FAAAAIR!
Haruna: Why aren’t you tired? You were in both studios too!
Misora: She wasn’t in the last two omakes though…which all just happened to happen on this day! That’s why we’re all incredibly tired!
Haruna: *pokes Ako some more* Or we could spend our time poking Ako until she wakes up! Heehee!
Ako: O_O *falls over and…breaks?*
Haruna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
Misora: AHHHHHHHH! WHAT DID YOU DO!?
Makie: A-A-A-Ako…?
Akira: What the…
Haruna: QUICKLY! GO GET SOME GLUE AND FIX HER BEFORE YUUNA WAKES UP AND KILLS US ALL!
Akira: Yuuna wouldn’t do that!
Haruna: Well since everyone is incredibly influenced by the story and Yuuna is supposed to be a murderer and an invincible otter that cannot be hurt by anything, I’ll say yes! GET THE GLUE!
Chao: I don’t think this is very rational what with the glue thing.
Ku Fei: *walks in, in her nightgown* What everybody doing, aru?
Chao: You were already sleeping?
Ku Laozi: *dons beard* Of course! Sleep is very essential for us all or we’d have bags under our eyes, fail exams, forget to do homework, and ultimately look like zombies! That’s today’s lesson, kids!
Chisame: I am very shocked at how rational these recent ‘Ku Laozi lessons’ have been…
Kazumi: *walks back out* Well, Sayo has convinced me to at the very least finish this omake. I’m not guaranteeing staying awake! …what happened to Ako?
Sayo: Oh no! IS SHE DEAD!?
Haruna: SHHHHHH! Don’t wake Yuuna! We have to fix her! Here’s some glue and Popsicle sticks!
Kazumi: What are the Popsicle sticks for?
Misora: We’re making the Eiffel Tower inside Ako’s head!
Chisame: That’s…yeah I think I need sleep. *grabs a pillow* Don’t you people DARE bother me.
Makie: Haruna-chan! The glue isn’t working! *cries* Oh poor Ako! Her ear won’t stay on!
Haruna: That’s a really nice looking Eiffel Tower though.
Misora: *nods* Indeed, quite a masterpiece.
Akira: This can all be explained with a logical explanation, I’m sure of it!
Misora: It doesn’t consist of dumping me into the pool, does it?
Akira: It may if you continue building a French monument inside my friend’s head.
Chao: So, who’s hungry? I’ve decided to bring over some nikuman!
Kazumi: Is there any poison in those nikuman?
Chao: …
Kazumi: Hey, you gotta make sure. I mean, you play a magical terrorist panda! That or the sleep deprivation is getting to me.
Ku Fei: NO NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU EAT, ARU! *stuffs the nikuman in her mouth* ACK!
Akira: I believe Ku Fei-san is choking.
Sayo: Oh dear, can anybody save her?
Yuuna: Zzzzz…POP! Ehh…what’s going on? *yawns as she gets up*
Haruna: EEEEP! WE’RE CERTAINLY NOT BUILDING THE EIFFEL TOWER IN YOUR SUPPOSED LOVER’S HEAD!
Makie: What? I thought we were—MMPH!
Misora: SHH!
Yuuna: *sees a broken Ako on the floor* WHAT THE HELL!?
Haruna: We are so dead.
Misora: Quite literally.
Sayo: I’m already dead.
Akira: Ku Fei is going to be if no one helps her.
Yuuna: *falls on her knees in front of the broken Ako* You broke my statue I created out of clay the other day! I wanted to show Ako…
Kazumi: *drops dead*
Chao: If that’s not Ako, then where is she, ne?
BZZZZZT!
